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) | |||
Revision as of 01:04, April 12, 2016
Order
Can somebody explain me why is the How to subsection before the table of contents while the Talk page proposals one is after it? I don't want a technical answer, but I'd like to hear the reason, I'm just wondering :)

- So that all the TPP stuff is grouped together on MarioWiki:Proposals. - Walkazo 20:05, 31 May 2013 (EDT)
Punctuation
Shouldn't there be a closing square bracket somewhere in the "Deadline" row? GBAToad (talk) 00:36, 28 June 2013 (EDT)
On Rule #16: replace Administrators with Bureaucrats (because Administrators cannot promote or demote)--
07:04, 4 July 2013 (EDT)
- But the Admins as a whole decide who gets promoted: the only 'Crat-specific part of the process is pushing the button (and writing the log), but procedure trumps technical details. - Walkazo 11:32, 4 July 2013 (EDT)
Dates
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 It makes this page look really out of date when they're over four years ago (1 Aug 2016 is a Monday again, for simplicity). - Reboot (talk) 23:58, 14 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- "Outdated" implies the page isn't useful anymore, but the standards have not changed since the example was made, so it's still perfectly accurate and functional - not outdated, and I see no compelling reason whatsoever to arbitrarily change the examples. 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. - Walkazo 00:35, 15 December 2015 (EST)
