Due to WiKirby's recent surge in community interaction, we have seen fit to implement a formal proposals page. Up to this point, proposal-handling has been informal, with larger ones handled via referendum, but this page serves to clear away any ambiguity and provide a set of procedures for suggesting changes to the wiki, whether that be the handling of certain content, or changes and additions to policy. |
| How to make a proposal |
|
All proposals must be made using the template provided below, posted under the "Current Proposals" heading: ==(insert proposal here) (insert date here)==
(insert details of proposal here and sign with ~~~~)

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 11:59:59 P.M. UTC on the 14th 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. |

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

Images in custom sigs (May 24, 2020- June 21, 2020)
As you may (or may not) know, there are some wikis that allow images in custom sigs, and some that do not. The current reason given by the page about custom signatures is "We'll accept symbols and wingdings, but full images are simply distracting to talk page posts." Images can be slightly distracting, but they should be fine as long as no animated images are used. It has been mentioned on the discord server for the wiki that it would make the file usage list large, but Special:Whatlinkshere can be used to only search for certain namespaces. Finally, there is the slight issue of the fact that images space out lines, but if they are small enough, that shouldn't be an issue. The screenshot is from smashwiki, which has a policy of only letting images be 20px high, which should work as a standard for us. Also, there would be a limit of one image per sig.
- To recap, the proposed policy change is to allow images in custom sigs, but only one per sig, they must be 20px high, and they cannot animated. ---PinkYoshiFan 14:42, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Weak support. Everything seems reasonable, altrogh I'm still not convinced that hiding certain namespaces would justify using mainspace images. Superbound (talk) 16:46, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'll go with oppose for now, for the same reason you cite from Help:Custom Signatures. There have been a few users with those already and some created text line misalignments, which, I suppose, could universally be resolved with font-nearing height limits, but it could still become distracting from the important discussed content. Less is more after all, just look at Superbound's signature. —Viperision (talk) 23:29, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
What are the diffrences between symbols, wingdings and images? Superbound (talk) 07:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- It appears from Googling that symbols and wingdings are actually a typable font, while images are not. Also, images have much more potential to become complex. ---PinkYoshiFan 12:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Alright. Superbound (talk) 16:46, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Implement image cycle for Featured Images (June 14th, 2020 - June 28th, 2020)
A while ago, we had proposal regarding cycle for Featured Articles. Citing YFJ:
| “ | So I noticed that we have a rather large catalog of previously featured articles, which are perfectly suitable to feature on the main page, but were only ever featured once. While we have no shortage of good articles eligible for featurement, it doesn't quite feel right to just leave previously featured articles behind. Is Kirby's Dream Land 2 doomed to never appear on the main page again? Would it have to be refeatured? Neither option sounds very great, so I propose we implement FA cycling. It would work like this: every Sunday at 00:00 GMT, the current FA will be replaced by the next one on the queue. New featurements will automatically take the next spot on the queue. [...] | ” | — -YFJ (talk · edits) |
The same could be said about FP, and I propose the same solution regarding pictures. The system would start on nearest Sunday from this proposal passing. I would also like to add that some images like this which (from my understanding), got featured but never appeared to Main Page. Images are important, since they add real visual on this wiki. What you all think? Superbound (talk) 16:00, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- I agree. Makes sense to have a cycle for both, not one or the other. – Owencrazyboy17 (talk) 16:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- This wasn't already a thing? ---PinkYoshiFan 13:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't do this earlier since my main concern was getting FAs refeatured, although I did plan to do this somewhere down the line. As long as unfeaturements for pictures become a thing as well, I support. --YFJ (talk · edits) 18:18, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Same for Featured Article cycling. If we only focus on the latest one, the others will lose their spotlight. --DeepFriedCabbage 18:29, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Proposals usually don't get any votes after first 24 hours, so here's bump. Superbound (talk) 07:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
@YFJ: I didn't propose unfeaturements because it didn't make sense to me - what you see is what it's gonna be. Images can't be outdated, and stuff like size can only change when reuploaded, which can be easily tracked, and only image that could be unfeatured would be File:Ice Kirby KSSU Artwork.png. Looking back at it... it sounded better in my head :/. Unfortunately, I think it's too late to change proposal, so it's gonna require seperate one. Superbound (talk) 09:12, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
