Personally, I think the wording is fine as-is.

The suggested change, with the words "proposed" and "support or oppose" gives the impression that the discussion is a TPP, which may not always be the case. Sometimes, we may be questioning, for example, the legitimacy of the image, or questioning if an image pending deletion should actually be deleted or not. The current wording can apply to both informal discussion and a TPP, and I believe that this is better than just assuming it's going to be a TPP every time.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl ain't new anymore. Someone should remove it. We don't need specific game mentions; I'm sure wikigoers are smart enough to determine what games are newly released or not.
 
Again for Template:Userspace, could someone add (or hint) something like "The Super Mario Wiki is an encyclopedia, and not a social network"?
 
No need.

The wiki is, first and foremost, for mainspace edits related to Mario. However, we do have other community geared channels, such as:

  • The Super Mario Boards
  • The Super Mario Wiki Chat.
  • The user driven community Userpedia.

Once and Only Once seems kinda outdated (and, in fact, has not been edited since 2007). I'm not exactly sure what specifically could be done to it, but perhaps the policy should be updated with today's rules and common practices in mind.

I don't find it too outdated. The page explains the concept of "Once and Only Once" fairly well while keeping to the facts, and not going on and on with examples. But if you can suggest something more specific, it will be considered.

Now this is outdated. The staff are currently discussing changes to the relevant paragraph of the policy.
 
I would like to move Koopa Klaus (episode) to simply Koopa Klaus, but there happens to be a disambiguation page in the way. The second entry in that page (the first is to the episode) is to a redirect (Koopa Klaus (alter ego)), and there's already a convenient link in the episode article, so I don't think the disambiguation page is necessary. Would it be possible for someone to delete it and move the episode so that it doesn't have the subtitle (and perhaps delete the alter-ego redirect while you're at it)?
