Revision as of 00:00, July 22, 2024
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: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 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 (
~~~~
). 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%) support and five total votes 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.
- If the proposal does not have five votes at the end of the voting period, the voting period will be extended for seven days.
- Once a proposal has been enacted, the staff member responsible will make a note here and move the proposal to the Archives.
How to make a proposal
All proposals must be made using the template provided below, posted under the "Current Proposals" heading:
{{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 (~~~~). }}
Current proposals
There are no active proposals. For a record of past proposals, visit the Archive.
Proposal: | Modifications and additions to Nookipedia Policy regarding user page content and community interaction |
This proposal is in part a rework of a few ideas I proposed at Nookipedia talk:Policy in January of 2022, but also includes a few additional policies which aim to a) clarify some gray areas surrounding user talk pages and b) establish policy regarding backseat moderation.
