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 ~~~~)
{{Support}}
{{Oppose}}
{{Neutral}}
===Discussion===
{{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 11:59:59 P.M. UTC on the 14th day of voting. If a proposal which follows all rules receives a basic majority of support, it is sent to the Administrators + for final consideration. The administrators + may decide to veto the proposal, which means that it will need to be voted on again and receive a supermajority of 75% or more to be passed again. If this happens, the proposal will be enacted, and cannot be vetoed again. If the proposal fails at any step, it will be rejected.

| Restrictions
|
|
Users may propose many different changes or additions to the wiki. The following things, however, may not be voted on:
- proposals which target specific users (such as bestowing or removing ranks or rights).
- proposals which violate the law, as specified in the general content policy.
- proposals which seek to overturn a recently (within the last 8 weeks (or 56 days)) approved proposal.
- re-submitted proposals which were recently (within the last 8 weeks (or 56 days)) rejected.

| Voting regulations
|
- Proposal adding and voting is open only to registered users who have made at least 100 edits to mainspace content and have been registered for at least two (2) weeks.
- Users who are currently blocked will not be allowed to vote, and any outstanding votes they have on proposals will be removed. Any proposal made by a user who is blocked during the consideration period will also be removed.
- All votes must be signed with signatures (type four tildes (~~~~.)) Unsigned votes are automatically negated, regardless of any points made.
- After two (2) weeks of voting, a proposal will be sent forward to the administrators for final approval if a simple majority of more than 50% of votes are supportive.
- If a supported proposal is vetoed by the administrators, it may be voted on again, but must receive a supermajority of 75% or more to be approved after another two (2) week period.
- If a proposal fails to garner three (3) supporting votes, it will not be considered.
- The original proposal maker and administrators + may not vote on proposals. (Administrators + may make proposals)
- All votes must be supported by a substantial reason from the voter. Simple and/or unproductive comments like "I agree" or "No that's stupid" will result in the vote being removed.
- Voting users may change their vote at any time before a proposal's deadline passes, but should update their timestamp if doing so.
- Discussion must remain civil at all times! Any uncivil discussion will result in the offending users' votes being negated, and possibly lead to strikes or a block.
- Excessive campaigning for any proposals will result in the campaigner(s) vote(s) being negated, or proposal being removed if applicable.
- A single user may not make more than one (1) proposal at a time.
- Administrators + reserve the right to remove a proposal without recourse if it is suspected to be in bad faith.
