Proposals

[Yoshi18]

This thread deals with proposals. Both normal and talk page proposals. If there are new proposals, failed ones, passed ones, votes, etc.; if it's Proposal-related, post it here.

Since this is a collaboration thread, you can also announce on what you are planning to propose, ask for feedback, or see if anyone wants to co-author with you.

If there is anything I missed, just post and I'll add whatever needs to be added.

For anyone who hasn't realized it yet: this is basically just Featured Articles but for proposal. Am honestly surprised nobody made this thread earlier

Last proposal of 2025 just ended! (And ironically it's mines which I needed to cancel)

New year, new proposal of mine!

MarioWiki:Proposals

If you would like to get feedback on an idea before formally proposing it here, you may do so on the proposals talk. For talk page proposals, you can discuss the changes on the talk page itself before creating the TPP there. If someone has an idea...

Why does the wiki have both regular proposals and talk page proposals? Some talk page proposals could be proposals and vice-versa. The only major difference between the two, excluding the archives and {{TPP}}, is the fact that editors without an account can comment, and that is a rather odd difference. Furthermore, the ToDoList template on the Main Page shows the amount of ongoing talk page proposals, completely excluding regular proposals. Additionally, the ToDoList is inaccurate if a single talk page has multiple talk page proposals at a given time. Personally, I would have talk page proposals removed, leaving MarioWiki:Proposals as the only page to post proposals.

Regular proposals are designed to be wide-ranging and affect the whole site, talk page proposals are localized to their article (and possibly related articles). Stuff like rewrite policies, changing up various templates, general article formatting goes on MarioWiki:Proposals, stuff to split Cheep Cheep and Cheap Cheap from each other are talk page proposals. The reason there is a protection difference begin with was because MarioWiki:Proposals was targeted by IP vandals and the rationale is that only logged in users can vote anyway, but I think right now is fine to lift the protection as IPs should be able to comment if they are able to comment in Talk Page Proposals.

No, removing talk page proposals is not a good idea. We don't need to further clutter MarioWiki:Proposals for matters that are localized to single subjects.

The To Do List in general is extremely sloppily implemented so I have no comment for that.
