===Revive [[MarioWiki:Pipe Plaza]]===

We need to tell sysops about this,either to unprotect it,or to take care of it by thmselves, or just to allow patrollers to edit it{{user|Tucayo}}

:We could either a) Allow only Sysops to edit it, or b) block all users who haven't been here for a month. {{User|Stooben Rooben}}

===Mario Award Voting on Main Page===

==== Comments ====

Wayo: what will we do with the "other" votes. they cant be forgotten {{user|Tucayo}}

===No Sigs on Featured Images Page===

See my proposal below. {{User|Super Mario Bros.}}

===Change "No Signature" Policies===

====Comments====

I changed the elimination of votes part, which the replacement being written in bold. {{User|Super Mario Bros.}}

===Movie Section===

MrV: You dont know what were talking about, right? {{User|Tucayo}}

===No Offensive Material===

====Comments====

===Split Proposals Page and Rules===

====Comments====

If we should not split the pages, then could we at least separate it from the How To section and make it into its own section? If we could do that, then I will delete this proposal. {{User|Super Mario Bros.}}

===Eliminate Mainstream Signatures===

::::::The length that a talk page reaches depends on the significance of the subject, not the namespace. Not every MarioWiki page will become horrendously large, and not every mainspace page will stay at a couple of sections. Besides, not all signatures cause technical problems; we could always just fix/ban the ones that do. —{{user|KPH2293}}

:::::::That's why I haven't voted: I don't like signatures clogging up my computer, but I also think this proposal is a little excessive, and that sig usage should be banned on a case-by-case basis instead (like for this page and the poll pages). - {{User|Walkazo}}

===Add pronunciations===

I think that even if this proposal fails, we should be allowed to add pronunciations to articles about subjects whose pronunciations are officially confirmed and not self-explaining. This could be helpful for non-English names as well. I am not voting because I don't think I agree with either option. {{User|Time Q}}

===Allow grammar edits of other users on talk pages===

This is THE INTERNET. The bane of all grammar and spelling >_>. {{User|Dom}}

===Make Rule for Deletion of Unlicensed Images===

::But wouldn't that only work if Nintendo releases their work under the Creative Commons ShareAlike license? {{User|Yoshario}}

:::Or...you could just make the licensing templates that we're missing. I think I've made one or two. {{User|Stooben Rooben}}

===Babies===

I Mario Freak say... WHAT ABOUT BABY YOSHI!

===Remove Welcoming Committee===

Wait a minute, the Welcoming Committee is already ''gone''? Why didn't anybody tell me? Well, anywho, I agree with Tucayo, I think the template should have links to the Shroom and the Pipe Plaza. [[User:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] [[User talk:Super Mario Bros.|Per Tucayo!]]

===Profiles for Super Smash Bros. Characters===

::I know those are cameos, but it has [[Talk:Mother Brain|been said]] that even characters from the retro microgames would deserve articles or at least lists. [[Mother Brain]] is a "Wario Character" just because she was in a microgame. That doesn't reflect my opinion, I just say how it is at the moment. But at least Link's box should be kept because he had notable roles in the German comics (predating ''Smash Bros.'').--[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 09:49, 20 June 2009 (EDT)

Having an article is one thing, needing a character-infobox is another thing. If you look at [[Toon Link]], most of the box is filled with non-Mario information. We should only put those infoboxes on pages when there's substantial Marioverse content. I think the poll is a bit too strict with its "all" or "none" options. - {{User|Cobold}} 10:41, 20 June 2009 (EDT)

===Restart Pipe Projects===

:sorry, i didnt remember it was your idea {{User|Tucayo}}

::It's ok, at least I'll gladly support this. ^_^ {{User|RAP}} [[Special:Contributions/RAP|"Growth of the Summer" is coming. ^___^]]

===PipeProject Signatures===

====Comments====

Just a notification: When I am changing the signatures that are currently on the PipeProjects page, I am (by default) going to change the format to <nowiki>{{User|User name Here}}</nowiki>. If you do not want that format, change it yourself, or at least notify me '''before''' 8:00_PM today. {{User|Super Mario Bros.}}

===Split PM/TTYD Image Collages===

:::To be technical, Xestrix would have to replace with <nowiki>"[[Image:collagename.PNG]]"</nowiki> with ''both'' <nowiki>"[[Image:newimagePM.png]]" and "[[Image:newimagePM2.png]]"</nowiki>. Fortunately, both images will be able to fit side-by-side in {{tem|Recipe-Infobox}}, and the pages would look the same before and after the split. - {{User|Walkazo}}

::::I understand the work to be done, I wouldn't volunteer for an overwhelming task ^^; {{User|Xestrix}} - Oops, added Sig.

===Birdo's Gender===

Per Walkazo. Birdo should be kept on the site as a she. Also most of users are are not Japanese and I doubt there's one. However we should keep that in Japan, Birdo is male. The use of "it" is offensive to the people who are transexuals, so I think we shouldn't use it. {{User|Uncle Logan}}

===Platform Games===
