Remakes
WITHDRAWN BY PROPOSER
I think something needs to be done about the way we treat remake games. We have articles for games such as Super Mario 64 DS and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, but the whole Super Mario Advance series are all merged with their original games. While those remakes aren't nearly as different as their original games, they still have their differences and should still be treated as other remakes are in the wiki. I propose that we either split all remakes from their original games and give them their own articles or merge all remakes into their original games.

Split all remakes into individual articles
Merge all remakes into their original game articles
Do nothing

Sorry, it's already an official policy. It just hasn't been enforced everywhere yet. --YoshiKong (talk) 09:53, 25 May 2013 (EDT)
Yes, they should. But not all of them have as of yet, as there's quite a bit of work involved. Splitting the article does not just mean to create a separate page. There are individual categories that need to be created, character/enemy history entries to add, templates and (many) links to update. And the article can't just be a cut-paste of the "#Remakes" section of the original article. --YoshiKong (talk) 10:02, 25 May 2013 (EDT)
- Alright, then I guess I should withdrawal this proposal since there's already the policy. Tails777 (talk)
Note that SMA games are more ports than remakes. A general term would be "reissues" (but that doesn't really matter). Banon (talk) 13:55, 25 May 2013 (EDT)
Write "Glitches" Section for levels
DON'T WRITE SECTION 1-10
I think that if a person knows of a level glitch, but forgot how to do it, they should not have to go down an incredibly long list to find it. This would make the process a lot less tedious as well.

Support
- MegaDigga3 (talk) Per reasons above.
Oppose
- Baby Luigi (talk) Why is this restricted only for levels? Doing so breaks consistency for the rest of the articles. Besides, if they're searching for a glitch, they should use Crtl + F and keywords. All glitches should stay on their respective pages.
- Mariotime11 (talk) That would be pointless; there are already glitch pages for almost every game, and as Baby Luigi said, you can just user the "Find" tool to look for certain glitches.
- YoshiKong (talk) Per all. And what if a particular glitch appears in many levels, not just one?
- BowserJunior (talk) Per all.
- Yoshi876 (talk) Per all.
- King Pikante (talk) Per all.
- ThePremiumYoshi (talk) - Per all.
- NewSMBU (talk) • Just type "Glitches of <game name>" in the serch box and click Search. It's not that hard.
- Megadardery (talk) Per MarioWiki:Once and Only Once it will be found on the level and on the glitches page, and per Baby Luigi.
- Walkazo (talk) - Per all.
Comments
I have to say I am in no sides on this one, it sounds like a great idea, but baby luigi IS right, every computer can use ctrl+f to find glitches. Robecuba (talk)
@YoshiKong: Then it would be put in as ex.: this glitch also appears in [insert level(s) where glitch appears here]. MegaDigga3 (talk)
We can add a "See [insert glitches link here] for glitches" or something like that.--Megadardery (talk) 10:42, 25 May 2013 (EDT)
Change Main page rotation to Mondays
LEAVE THE ROTATION DAY AS SATURDAYS 1-7 The Main Page is very important on the wiki, so why is it that we rotate every Sat.? Mondays are better I think because of the fact it's the beginning of the week. This makes for easier remembering to rotate items.

- MegaDigga3 (talk) Per above.
Oppose
- Electrical Bowser jr. (talk) How do you think people remember stuff better on Mondays? Kinda unnessecary (tell me if I misspelled that.)
- Baby Luigi (talk) This change is unnecessary and the reasoning for the change is pretty weak. It all boils down to preference, and I don't think we need to change anything here. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday...it doesn't matter at all.
- King Pikante (talk) And what's the difference? Unnessecary.
- Yoshi876 (talk) I see no logical reason for this, it is perfectly fine the way it is.
- Mariotime11 (talk) No point.
- ThePremiumYoshi (talk) - Well, I don't think it would make that much of a difference, so yeah, per all.
- Prince Bowser Junior (talk) I don't think it matters.
