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: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.

Proposal:	Changing the capitalization policy
How about we change the capitalization policy so that every letter in the title has to be capitalized except words like "the" and "and"? The English grammar is like that, and Nookipedia should probably follow it. I know this will effect so many pages, but again, I think it is necessary. Acnh Player (talk) 14:35, April 14, 2024 (EDT)
Comments:	Personally, I feel the capitalization policy is perfectly fine as it is and actually refers to in-game capitalization. I can understand the meaning of your message, but the wording is a bit clumsy- is that how you phrase it? Raven Star (talk) 14:42, April 14, 2024 (EDT) The rules for capitalizing each word in a title generally only apply to published works or works of art. For anything else (including wiki articles), the titles are subject to whatever style guide the website/organization has in place. In our case, that is the Manual of Style, which dictates that article and section names should be in sentence case, and I see no reason to change that. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 18:47, April 14, 2024 (EDT)
Votes:	Oppose As per my above comment. Raven Star (talk) 14:42, April 14, 2024 (EDT)  Oppose ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 18:47, April 14, 2024 (EDT)
Result: (??%)	To be determined.
