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:	Rules regarding Usernames
I have worked this for a long time! There should now be a new username policy. Usernames cannot contain swears, and emojis. This is because it can be hard when finding a user if there is an emoji in a user's name. Usernames should also be shorter than 25 characters, as it can look very confusing in logs. The block log looks really weird because of an account with a bunch of "z"s. Usernames cannot be created similar to a staff's. A user's account may not look alike as a staff's. For example, someone shall not create an account under the username "Super Hamster" or "Drag0". There has already been multiple times HylianAngel got impersonated (by HyIianAngel(with a "I") Hylian Angel, and Hylian-Gay-Angel), and I think this wouldn't feel very good. If an inappropriate username got blocked, they should be renamed first, and then blocked for an inappropriate username. This is because if there is a racial slur in their name, I think it will be better to rename them first, and then block them. Because, that person may simply never request a new username, and it will stay in the logs forever. I know there is a lot here, but I hope you get my message.
