Can the example dates be updated? It makes this page look really out of date when they're over four years ago (1 Aug 2016 is a Monday again, for simplicity). - [[User:Reboot|Reboot]] ([[User talk:Reboot|talk]]) 23:58, 14 December 2015 (EST) | Can the example dates be updated?

:"Outdated" implies the page isn't useful anymore, but the standards have not changed since the example was made, so it's still perfectly accurate and functional - ''not'' outdated, and I see no compelling reason whatsoever to arbitrarily change the examples. If anything, having a rules section that's been written solidly enough to not need overhauling for over 4 years is a thing to be proud of. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 00:35, 15 December 2015 (EST) | :"Outdated" implies the page isn't useful anymore, but the standards have not changed since the example was made, so it's still perfectly accurate and functional - ''not'' outdated, and I see no compelling reason whatsoever to arbitrarily change the examples.

May I suggest wrapping this whole block with <nowiki><code></code></nowiki>? | |||
<code> | |||
<nowiki>===[insert a title for your proposal here]===</nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>[describe what issue this proposal is about and what changes you think should be made to improve how the wiki handles that issue]</nowiki> | |||
<nowiki>'''Proposer''': {{User|[enter your username here]}}<br></nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>'''Deadline''':</nowiki> [insert a deadline here, 7 days after the proposal was created (14 for [[MarioWiki:Writing Guidelines|Writing Guidelines]] and[[MarioWiki:Proposals#Talk Page Proposals|Talk Page Proposals]]), at 23:59 GMT, in the format: "August 8, 2011, 23:59 GMT"] | |||
<nowiki>====Support====</nowiki><br> | |||

It's not a very big change, but it the way the font is rendered in Courier or Courier New instead of Ariel. Seeing this font type rendered like that above reminds you of that same particular font type when trying to edit a wiki page. It's a hint that gives a subtle nudge in the right direction when trying to make a new proposal, especially for newcomers. It would be notably weird to see <nowiki>===blah BLAH 1234===</nowiki> in Ariel, and not <code><nowiki>===blah BLAH 1234===</nowiki></code> in Courier or New Courier when trying to edit a page. {{User:RAP/sig}} 01:04, 12 April 2016 (EDT) | |||
