Editing Nookipedia:Proposals

Nookipedia '''Proposals''' allow the community to vote on sitewide changes that would affect a large number of pages or users. This process is not a replacement for community-wide input (see:[[Nookipedia:The Roost|The Roost]]) or talk page discussion. Rather, it takes the final product of those discussions (in the form of a proposal) and puts them to a vote.

==Rules==
*'''Proposals are ''only necessary'' for changes that would affect a large number of pages or users.''' Some examples: rules/policy changes, adding/removing namespaces, making major modifications to/replacing templates that affect 1000+ pages.

*Proposals are for voting on fully worked out ideas. They should be a binary yes/no choice and not have any yet-to-be-determined components: no 'option a, b, or c'. Proposals may be submitted without prior public comment or feedback, but should not receive major edits or changes once voting has started. If a proposal does not follow these rules or is otherwise deemed unfit, it may be vetoed at the discretion of a [[Nookipedia:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]].

*Proposals can only be submitted and voted upon by registered users. Comments or votes from unregistered users will be removed immediately. Furthermore, all votes or comments must have a signature attached ({{c|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>}}). Users are not allowed to vote on their own proposal, but may respond to comments.

*Proposals will be open for seven days. This voting deadline can be extended upon request, at the discretion of a Bureaucrat.

*At the end of the voting period, if the proposal has at least a 2/3 majority (66%) it will be considered successful. A Bureaucrat will then officially close the proposal, and either enact it themselves, or coordinate with other staff members to make sure the proposal is completed.

*Once a proposal has been enacted, the [[Nookipedia:Staff|staff member]] responsible will make a note here and move the proposal to the [[Nookipedia:Proposals/Archive|Archives]].

==How to make a proposal==
All proposals must be made using the [[Template:Proposal|template]] provided below, posted under the "Current Proposals" heading: 

<pre>
{{proposal
| title       = A short, one-sentence description of the proposal.
| description = Additional proposal details/explanation.
| comments    = User commentary on proposal.
| votes       = User votes on proposal: {{Support}} or {{Oppose}} + signature (~~~~).
}}
</pre>

===Changing a mass of gallery pages===
{{proposal
| title = Changing a mass of gallery pages
| description = How about instead of having "Tree/Gallery" as the title, we add {{c|<nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Gallery Relating To ''Tree''</nowiki>}}? On [[Furniture/New Horizons/All furniture]], editors added <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:List of all furniture in {{NH|short|nolink}}}}</nowiki></code>. I think we should do what I specified above on the gallery pages. Now, this will affect more than 1000 pages so this is why I am doing a proposal.

| comments = *I don't think this makes the titles much more informative than they are now. Certainly not by enough to make it worth making the thousands of edits that would be required, even with the help of a bot.

*Agreed with Drago. The display titles on the list pages clarify what the pages are, which isn't clear from the real title (e.g. someone seeing "Furniture/New Horizons" might not know it's a list of furniture). However, the gallery page titles already make it clear to the reader that they are a gallery relating to their respective subject.

* But listen. I want readers reading a more welcoming title than in the form: <code><nowiki>subject/gallery</nowiki></code>. P-L-E-A-S-E.

* Honestly, I'm opposing it. The naming scheme for galleries already makes sense, Gallery/tree already gets the point across, a gallery of images showing trees. Plus, while not my biggest concern, it uses a bit more byte space that could go to minor edits on the page itself. I oppose this.

* Too much effort for what it's worth and the current system does just fine and has worked for years, same can be said for other wikis that use Gallery pages pages as they use a similar system to Nookipedia.

*Nookipedia is an encyclopedia, not a guide. It is our goal to provide readers with factual information, not to give tips or tricks. Guide content would be better suited for something like [[strategywiki:Main Page|StrategyWiki]].

*I'll have to agree with AlexBot here and say that StrategyWiki is a far better place for guide content. FYI, we did have guides in the past which had their own namespace. I wouldn't support bringing them back.
