Userpedia:Proposals
From Userpedia
Proposals can be new features (such as an extension), removal of a previously added feature that has tired out, or new policies that must be approved via consensus before any action(s) are done.
|
A proposal section works like a discussion page: comments are brought up and replied to using indents (colons, such as : or ::::) and all edits must be signed.
Rules
- Users then vote and discuss on the issue during that week. The "deadline" for the proposal is one week from posting at:
- Monday to Thursday: 17:00 (5pm)
- Friday and Saturday: 20:00 (8pm)
- Sunday: 15:00 (3pm)
- Any proposal that has three votes or less at deadline will automatically be listed as "NO QUORUM." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion.
- Actions that users feel are appropriate to have community approval first can be added by anyone, but they must have a strong argument.
- Every vote should have a reason accompanying it.
- At any time a vote may be rejected if at least three active users believe the vote truly has no merit or was cast in bad faith. However, there must be strong reasons supporting the invalidation.
- "# " should be added under the last vote of each support/oppose section to show another blank line.
- All proposals that end up in a tie will be extended for another week.
- 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 a Sysop, the proposer can ask for that help.
- There shouldn't be proposals about creating articles on a underrepresented or completely absent subject, unless there is major disagreement about whether the content should be included.
- If the Sysops deem a proposal unnecessary or potentially detrimental to the upkeep of Userpedia, they have the right to remove it at any time.

Weekly Polls
Each week, we create a new poll related to Userpedia like the one on the MarioWiki before it got deleted.

Put Latest Proposal on Main Page like the one on MarioWiki
Thanks Super Mario Bros for noting that this is dead. It might attract more attention if we add Latest Proposal to the Main Page. Then more people will participate in proposals.

- KS3 (Talk) Per proposal.
- Link the Sailor(T|C) its not noticeable, but it is important
- Marioguy1 (Talk) - Proposals need more attention, I know several that just went by unknown to anybody.
Oppose
- Super Mario Bros. (Talk) The proposals aren't exactly so noticeable that they should get a box on the Main Page.
Comments
That's why they need to go on the main page, we want them to be noticeable. Marioguy1 (Talk)
Removals
Splits & Merges
None at the moment.
Changes
Change proposal formats into the formats in the Super Mario Wiki
This means that we use Greenwich Meridian Time, put a start voting date (one day later), and Proposals end at Midnight. Also, a proposal has to have 3 or more votes for it to pass. If not, then it is extended for one more week. If it still has less then 3 votes, then it is marked as No Quorum. When the number of votes on each side reaches 15, then the difference has to be more than 2. If not, then it is extended for one more week. If the difference is still less then 3, then it is marked as No Quorum.

- KS3 (Talk) Per proposal.
- Super Mario Bros. (Talk) I don't see the harm in this... Although this page is usually pretty dead.
- BabyLuigiOnFire (Talk) per KS3
Oppose
- Why do we need a start voting date? just cuz MW does it? I see no reason why the common man shouldn't go and vote immediately. Also this page will never get 15 supports and opposes, why? cuz unlike MW, we don't have many users that care or even come here every day. Also i have nothing against GMT, but i see no reason why the current time zone deadlines should change. ~Renegade of Funk (Talk)

If there is no good or harm done with any of these things, why oppose? Marioguy1 (Talk)
