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

"NIWA wikis" template to replace its notice template equivalents (March 31st, 2021 - April 14th, 2021)

User:Viperision/Transclusion

{{User:Viperision/Transclusion
|title=This template
|Nookipedia=Template:Other Wikis
|NWiki=Template:Otherwikis
|SuperMarioWiki=Template:NIWA
|XenoSeries=1
}}

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 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 there are examples where it could be less wieldy to use.

Note that =1 will link to {{FULLPAGENAME}}, otherwise to another specified article. —Viperision (talk) 13:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Support
  1. 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. ---PinkYoshiFan 23:01, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Oppose
Neutral
  • 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. --Samwell (talk) 15:10, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Discussion

Re: @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. —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). Superbound (talk) 15:46, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
