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:	New User Group
There has always been issues with vandalism and sockpuppetry on nookipedia. On Wikipedia, they solved this problem by adding a new user group called checkusers. Checkusers are trusted staff who can see user's ips. Here is what checkusers do on wikipedia Investigating Sockpuppetry: CheckUsers analyze patterns of editing behavior and IP addresses to identify instances of sockpuppetry, which is when a single user creates multiple accounts to deceive or manipulate the community. Verifying Suspicious Activity: CheckUsers verify suspicious activity such as vandalism, edit warring, or disruptive behavior by examining the technical data associated with user accounts. Assisting in Dispute Resolution: CheckUsers may assist in resolving disputes by providing technical evidence or information related to user behavior. Protecting User Privacy: CheckUsers handle sensitive information related to IP addresses and user accounts while maintaining the privacy of Wikipedia users in accordance with Wikipedia's privacy policy. Training and Oversight: CheckUsers may provide training and oversight to other users on how to effectively use the CheckUser tool and interpret its results. With this new user group, Nookipedia will be able to handle sockpuppetry and vandalism in a more efficient and better way. Acnh Player (talk) 23:37, April 24, 2024 (EDT)
