Proposals can be new features (such as an extension), the removal of previously-added features that have tired out, or new policies that must be approved via consensus before any action is taken.
- "Vote" periods last for one week.
- Any user can support or oppose, but must have a strong reason for doing so (not, e.g., "I like this idea!").
- All proposals must be approved by a majority of voters, including proposals with more than two options.
- For past proposals, see the proposal archive and the talk page proposal archive.
|
A proposal section works like a discussion page: comments are brought up and replied to using indents (colons, such as : or ::::) and all edits are signed using the code {{User|User name}}.
How to
Rules
- If users have an idea about improving the wiki or managing its community, but feel that they need community approval before acting upon that idea, they may make a proposal about it. They must have a strong argument supporting their idea and be willing to discuss it in detail with the other users, who will then vote about whether or not they think the idea should be used. Proposals should include links to all relevant pages and writing guidelines. Proposals must include a link to the draft page. Any pages that would be largely affected by the proposal should be marked with {{proposal notice}}.
- Only registered, autoconfirmed users can create, comment in, or vote on proposals and talk page proposals. Users may vote for more than one option on proposals with more than two choices.
- Proposals end at the end of the day (23:59) one week after voting starts, except for writing guidelines and talk page proposals, which run for two weeks (all times GMT).
- For example, if a proposal is added at any time on Monday, August 1, 2011, the voting starts immediately and the deadline is one week later on Monday, August 8, at 23:59 GMT.
- Every vote should have a strong, sensible reason accompanying it. Agreeing with a previously mentioned reason given by another user is accepted (including "per" votes), but tangential comments, heavy sarcasm, and other misleading or irrelevant quips are just as invalid as providing no reason at all.
- Users who feel that certain votes were cast in bad faith or which truly have no merit can address the votes in the comments section. Users can ask a voter to clarify their position, point out mistakes or flaws in their arguments, or call for the outright removal of the vote if it lacks sufficient reasoning. Users may not remove or alter the content of anyone else's votes. Voters can remove or rewrite their own vote at any time, but the final decision to remove another user's vote lies solely with the administrators.
- Users can also use the comments section to bring up any concerns or mistakes in regards to the proposal itself. In such cases, it's important the proposer addresses any concerns raised as soon as possible. Even if the supporting side might be winning by a wide margin, that should be no reason for such questions to be left unanswered. They may point out any missing details that might have been overlooked by the proposer, so it's a good idea as the proposer to check them frequently to achieve the most accurate outcome possible.
- If a user makes a vote and is subsequently blocked for any amount of time, their vote is removed. However, if the block ends before the proposal ends, then the user in question holds the right to re-cast their vote. If a proposer is blocked, their vote is removed and "(banned)" is added next to their name in the "Proposer:" line of the proposal, which runs until its deadline as normal. If the proposal passes, it falls to the supporters of the idea to enact any changes in a timely manner.
- No proposal can overturn the decision of a previous proposal that is less than 4 weeks (28 days) old.
- Any proposal where none of the options have at least four votes will be extended for another week. If after three extensions, no options have at least four votes, the proposal will be listed as "NO QUORUM." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion.
- All proposals that end up in a tie will be extended for another week. Proposals with more than two options must also be extended another week if any single option does not have a majority support: i.e. more than half of the total number of voters must appear in a single voting option, rather than one option simply having more votes than the other options.
- If a proposal with only two voting options has more than ten votes, it can only pass or fail by a margin of three votes, otherwise the deadline will be extended for another week as if no majority was reached at all.
- Proposals can only be extended up to three times. If a consensus has not been reached by the fourth deadline, the proposal fails and can only be re-proposed after four weeks, at the earliest.
- All proposals are archived. The original proposer must take action accordingly if the outcome of the proposal dictates it. If it requires the help of an administrator, the proposer can ask for that help.
- If the administrators deem a proposal unnecessary or potentially detrimental to the upkeep of the Super Mario Wiki, they have the right to remove it at any time.
- Proposals can only be rewritten or deleted by their proposer within the first three days of their creation (six days for talk page proposals). However, proposers can request that their proposal be deleted by an administrator at any time, provided they have a valid reason for it. Please note that canceled proposals must also be archived.
- Unless there is major disagreement about whether certain content should be included, there should not be proposals about creating, expanding, rewriting or otherwise fixing up pages. To organize efforts about improving articles on neglected or completely missing subjects, try setting up a collaboration thread on the forums.
- Proposals cannot be made about promotions and demotions. Users can only be promoted and demoted by the will of the administration.
- No joke proposals. Proposals are serious wiki matters and should be handled professionally. Joke proposals will be deleted on sight.
- Proposals must have a status quo option (e.g. Oppose, Do nothing) unless the status quo itself violates policy.
Basic proposal and support/oppose format
This is an example of what your proposal must look like, if you want it to be acknowledged. If you are inexperienced or unsure how to set up this format, simply copy the following and paste it into the fitting section. Then replace the [subject] - variables with information to customize your proposal, so it says what you wish. If you insert the information, be sure to replace the whole variable including the squared brackets, so "[insert info here]" becomes "This is the inserted information", not "[This is the inserted information]". Proposals presenting multiple alternative courses of action can have more than two voting options, but what each voting section is supporting must be clearly defined. Such options should also be kept to a minimum, and if something comes up in the comments, the proposal can be amended as necessary.
===[insert a title for your proposal here]===
[describe what issue this proposal is about and what changes you think should be made to improve how the wiki handles that issue]
'''Proposer''': {{User|[enter your username here]}}<br>
'''Deadline''': [insert a deadline here, 7 days after the proposal was created (14 for writing guidelines and talk page proposals), at 23:59 GMT, in the format: "May 9, 2024, 23:59 GMT"]
====Support====
#{{User|[enter your username here]}} [make a statement indicating that you support your proposal]
====Oppose====
====Comments====
Users will now be able to vote on your proposal, until the set deadline is reached. Remember, you are a user as well, so you can vote on your own proposal just like the others.
To support, or oppose, just insert "#{{User|[add your username here]}}" at the bottom of the section of your choice. Just don't forget to add a valid reason for your vote behind that tag if you are voting on another user's proposal. If you are voting on your own proposal, you can just say "Per my proposal".
Talk page proposals
All proposals dealing with a single article or a specific group of articles are held on the talk page of one of the articles in question. Proposals dealing with massive amounts of splits, merges or deletions across the wiki should still be held on this page.
- For a list of all settled talk page proposals, see MarioWiki:Proposals/TPP archive and Category:Settled talk page proposals.
Rules
- All active talk page proposals must be listed below in chronological order (new proposals go at the bottom) using {{TPPDiscuss}}. Include a brief description of the proposal while also mentioning any pages affected by it, a link to the talk page housing the discussion, and the deadline. If the proposal involves a page that is not yet made, use {{fake link}} to communicate its title in the description. Linking to pages not directly involved in the talk page proposal is not recommended, as it clutters the list with unnecessary links. Place {{TPP}} under the section's header, and once the proposal is over, replace the template with {{SettledTPP}}.
- All rules for talk page proposals are the same as mainspace proposals (see the "How to" section above), with the exceptions made by Rules 3 and 4 as follows:
- Voting in talk page proposals will be open for two weeks, not one (all times GMT).
- For example, if a proposal is added at any time on Monday, August 1, 2011, it ends two weeks later on Monday, August 15, 2011, at 23:59 GMT.
- The talk page proposal must pertain to the article it is posted on.
- When a talk page proposal passes, it should be removed from this list and included in the list under the "Unimplemented proposals" section until the proposed changes have been enacted.

New features
Expand our coverage to include every franchise in the Marioverse ever
For far too long there has been a terrible lapse in our coverage in our failure to accurately cover not just the Mario franchise, but the Marioverse (btw this term is official if you were wondering my uncle works at nintendo and he says miyamoto told him) as a whole. Therefore I propose we grant full coverage to any franchise that has had a crossover with Mario in accordance with the Mario canon and lore that has been firmly established and enforced by Nintendo since the dawn of time. This would include whatever that dirty-minded squirrel's franchise is called, the Child's Play series, and anything Sakurai decided to toss into a Smash game. As a bonus aside from being the most accurate website for the Mario canon on the internet this would also vastly increase our article content, which is good because big numbers are nice.
Since I'm not expecting anyone to oppose I have already started this by making a page for Sans
Q&A:
- Q: Does this mean that <insert franchise> gets full coverage too?
- A: YES
- Q: Why did you make a Q&A with only one question?
- A: I couldn't think of any other questions leave me alone

Merge every article into a single superarticle
23,590. That's how many articles we have on this wiki. What a travesty. Why should we force people to search or click links to find what they want? We make everything more convenient for our readers when we keep everything on a single page. Remember that wiki with two pages? No? Exactly. By putting everything on a single page we are providing many benefits to ourselves and our readers. And you know what makes it even better? Only owners of the Winged Strollin' Stu item will be able to read it! Imagine all that income! Imagine all that money! We could make a fortune!
Goodbye plurality, and hello singularity!
Proposer: Well, only YoshiFlutterJump (talk) could come up with such a smart and beneficial idea!

Sentry Garage deification
I'll keep this short. I'm sure we all remember Super Mario Galaxy, a game in the Mario franchise, and released for the Wii video game console in the year 2007. This game, lauded with near-perfect reviews and Game of the Year awards from multiple outlets and reviewers, was, simply put, a classic. But what is the reason why this game was such a favorite among fans and critics alike? I had an extremely rare opportunity to speak with Yoshiaki Koizumi, the director of the game, on the topic. Here is what he said on the matter, translated by a Japanese-speaking associate of mine:
JoeRunner: Why do you think Super Mario Galaxy was such a successful game?
Koizumi: Well, during the development period of the game, we came across an interesting situation: while we were crafting a galaxy that did not make it to the final game, there was a bug in our coding, and a ledge, which was originally meant to be scalable with simply a triple jump and spin, ended up becoming just a bit too tall. We tried to fix this bug, but it proved almost impossible. So, instead, we created the Sentry Garage character, a way for Mario to get higher than he usually would be able to vertically travel. But the humble Sentry Garage, which started out as simply a way to bypass a bug, gradually wormed its way into the hearts of the game's staff. One of the game's head programmers even proposed, "It's not too late to make this game's main character the Sentry Garage. Heck, we could even change all the old Mario games into Sentry Garage games. Nobody would contest it; it would certainly be better than that idiot Mario anyway." Even Miyamoto-san himself did not disagree with this statement. I firmly believe that the Sentry Garage is one of the greatest factors in Super Mario Galaxy's success.
This passage shows that even Koizumi himself loved the Sentry Garage (also known as the Jump Guarder, although less goodly), and if this isn't a reason to love a character, then Grambi knows what is. So here is what I'm proposing: we give the Sentry Garage what it's due. We do anything and everything we can to give it the love it deserves. Since the MarioWiki is already visited by many people, promoting the Sentry Garage would be a great move in helping it get the recognition it deserves. We make it our mascot, our logo, our pride and joy. Please vote under the "Support" header down below for this noble cause (unfortunately, it is required that there be an "Oppose" option as well, although I am sure none of you will vote for this).
Thank you for reading.

Create article for Sailor Moonigi
Who are these two? Well, clearly, the one on the left doesn't matter, but the one on the right, Sailor Moonigi (aka secret identity Lusagi) is clearly just as much worth an article as Mr. L and Mr. E and Mr. E and Mr. I and Mr. J and Mr. TMedia:CrunchBandicoot.jpg. All glory to the totally-separate-characters-and-not-alter-egos-of-Green-Mario! Also, it like, totally relates to Mario and stuff because DiC made three Mario shows and localized the original Sailor Moon albeit terribly
