=="NIWA wikis" template to replace its notice template equivalents (March 31st, 2021 - April 14th, 2021)==
''None at the moment.''

There was this template in my backlog of ideas, and it came up to viably replace [[Template:SmashWiki]], [[Template:MarioWiki]], [[Template:MetroidWiki]] and [[Template:NWiki]] in order to condense the space multiple such interwiki links take, as well as to distinguish them from maintenance-related [[:Category:Notice templates|notice templates]].
 
Current templates look okay (or even better) on smaller (mobile) resolutions, but I think they are sometimes obnoxious with their yellow tone and take too much space when used, especially in sections. This alternative would work well in "External links" sections, although [[Meta Knight#Super Smash Bros. series|there are examples]] where it could be less wieldy to use.
 
Note that =1 will link to <code><nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAME}}</nowiki></code>, otherwise to another specified article. —[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 13:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

#The pink not looking like the improvement templates (and more Kirby-like) and the whole thing being more compact (''especially'' if there are multiple interwiki links) are both great. This also would fix the fact that not every wiki has a template, which while not necessarily a problem, doesn't hurt for consistency's sake. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 23:01, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
<s>#This looks like it'll be a nice improvement. Having the notice templates look like maintenance ones is inconsistent and takes up space, so this will be a better way to handle these interwiki links. {{User:Obsessive Mario Fan/sig}} 20:58, 10 April 2021 (UTC)</s>

*This seems like a good initiative to cut down on notice space. That said, I do wonder how truly necessary this is, since not a lot of our articles will have/need links to multiple different wikis. Also, I'm wondering if it would be better to format this so it appears on the left side of the page, rather than the right. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 15:10, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 
===Discussion===
Re: [[User:Samwell|@Samwell]], yeah I thought about it, only a handful of wikis will ever be inter-linked in mainspace this way (the fact there are only these four templates for this purpose shows itself), relatively low number of times. As for the alignment, a parameter can be easily made to appear anywhere you want. Nonetheless, this proposed template is meant to just be an alternative for wherever the mentioned four templates are used. —[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 22:59, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 
I wondering - where this template will be put? Not every page has external links section, and making such section solely for this template doesn't look nice (especially when it's on the right). {{User:Superbound/sig}} 15:46, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
:I imagine it could just go wherever the [[Template:MarioWiki|current]] [[Template:NWiki|templates]] [[Template:SmashWiki|for this stuff]] go now, at the start of pages or sections (should work fairly well as long as a parameter to make it on the left is implemented). {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 17:14, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
::I think it would work a lot better being in the bottom section, off to the right, [https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario#References like MarioWiki handles it]. If we just had one of these replace all of those notice templates, it would be much more obnoxious. {{User:Obsessive Mario Fan/sig}} 20:58, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
:::'''@PinkYoshiFan''' [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/323530530681520129/830682546034704404/viper_proposal_1.PNG here] it would look horrible in my opinion.
:::'''@Obsessive Maroi Fan''' there's problem, as this wiki almost universally uses {{t|ref}}, making it impossible to put it there, and it would be awkward having this template in urelated section like "Names in other languages" or "Gallery". [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/323530530681520129/830682624217448468/viper_proposal_2.PNG This] is how it would look like if put on one of the smaller articles in the bottom section, where it's rather unnoticeable in my opinion. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 05:59, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
::::I thought we would just handle it like I mentioned, but I forgot about the ref thing, and the ways you've shown don't look good at all. I'll withdraw my vote on this for now. {{User:Obsessive Mario Fan/sig}} 06:45, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
:{{t|ref}} can be modified to include an optional parameter for code injection between <nowiki>==References== and <references/></nowiki> to make this template usable in that section like on SMW. For the [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/323530530681520129/830682624217448468/viper_proposal_2.PNG Metroid article example] - I haven't figured out how to give margins to infobox templates (ideally these boxes wouldn't touch). Here [https://i.imgur.com/VVNcUIh.png are] [https://i.imgur.com/Hwy8hIL.png two] alternative ways with '''left float''' (separated from text by placing the template in a new paragraph). Regardless of this template, [https://i.imgur.com/eGnjBbf.png this is how] the current MetroidWiki template would look with "lightpink" border and "pink" background.
 
:Some articles don't have a "References" or "External links" section, but placing it in the very bottom right above navboxes seems how other wikis handle this. —[[User:Viperision|Viperision]] ([[User talk:Viperision|talk]]) 12:42, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
::Y'know, it was suggested on the Discord by erika that instead of having a separate template for linking to other NIWA wikis, we could instead add those links to the infobox for the subject in question. I think making the infobox slightly taller in order to cut down on other more intrusive templates may be the best solution here, and probably something we could enact without needing to make it a proposal. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 13:46, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
:::That seems like a good idea, but what about articles line [[Nintendo]] that don't have infoboxes? {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 14:01, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
::::I think we could keep the old notice templates for articles like that as a temporary measure. Ideally, the Nintendo article should have an infobox of some kind or other in future. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 14:06, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Your opinions matter!

Welcome to the Proposals page. Here, WiKirby's editors may propose changes to the way the wiki operates, including how to handle certain categories of content, quality standards, or even just making aesthetic suggestions. Any user who has Autopatrol status or above may make a proposal or vote on one, and after two weeks of voting, if it passes, it will be incorporated into policy. Please see below for the specifics on how to make and/or vote on a proposal.

How to make a proposal

Please use one of the following templates to make a new proposal:

Single vote: This is for proposals which only propose a single change to the wiki.

==(insert proposal here) (insert date here)==
(insert details of proposal here and sign with ~~~~)
{{Support}}
{{Oppose}}
{{Neutral}}

===Discussion===

{{clear}}

Multi-option vote: This is for proposals which include many possible changes to a particular element of policy. One option should always be to keep things as they were. It is recommended that no more than 8 options are given in a single proposal, including the "no change" option.

==(insert proposal here) (insert date here)==
(insert details of proposal here and sign with ~~~~)
{{Option|1|(option title 1)}}
{{Option|2|(option title 2)}}
{{Option|3|(option title 3)}}
{{Option|etc.|(option title etc.)}}
{{Neutral}}

===Discussion===

{{clear}}

Multi-facet vote: This is for proposals which want to make several smaller changes to a single element of policy (for instance, making several changes to how the main page looks). Each change needs to be voted up or down individually. There should not be more than 5 parts to a proposal like this. This type of proposal should not be made without approval from wiki administration.

==(insert proposal here) (insert date here)==
(insert summary of proposal here and sign with ~~~~)
===Change 1===
(insert details here)
{{Support}}
{{Oppose}}
{{Neutral}}
====Change 1 discussion====

===Change 2===
(insert details here)
{{Support}}
{{Oppose}}
{{Neutral}}
====Change 2 discussion====

===Change 3===
(insert details here)
{{Support}}
{{Oppose}}
{{Neutral}}
====Change 3 discussion====

etc.

{{clear}}

Once a proposal is made, the voting period begins (see voting regulations below). Voting period for a proposal ends two weeks after it starts, at 23:59:59 UTC on the 14th full day of voting. An administrator can veto a proposal at any time, although such action should always be justifiable and agreed upon by multiple admins. Administrators should not use this right to add more weight to their own opinions.

Restrictions

Users may propose many different changes or additions to the wiki. The following things, however, may not be voted on:

  1. Proposals which target specific users (such as bestowing or removing ranks or rights).
  2. Proposals which violate the law, as specified in the general content policy.
  3. Proposals which seek to overturn a recently (within the last 8 weeks (or 56 days)) approved proposal.
  4. Re-submitted proposals which were recently (within the last 8 weeks (or 56 days)) rejected, and which have not been significantly altered.

Current Proposals

None at the moment.
