Club Penguin Wiki:Vote Page

The Wiki's Vote Page is made to hold all kinds of votes.

When a vote is held, you will be allowed to sign your username, using four tildes ~

Each vote will be published in this way:

 (0)

 * Suggested by and confirmed by

Comments
Nominee Notice: After being nominated, you can enter reasons on why you should be nominated next to the "nomination sentence". A vote closes when 14 days is up. The vote difference is calculated by the number of votes "for" subtracted by the number "against". The user option with the most vote differences wins.

Voter Notice: You must vote in either "For" or "Against". If you vote in for, you have to sign underneath the "For" heading. To do this you have to type this in:

#~

After you have signed it, you must change the number in the brackets up by 1. (e.g if it was at 3, it means 3 people have already signed it. Change it to 4 when you sign it.) This is also the same with the number by their name. If you vote for, you must also increase the number beside his or her name by 1.

Please remember to use "#" instead of the usual "*", because it numbers the votes making it easier to count them.

You can also remove your vote. If in any case you change your mind, do not remove your vote completely, just strike it out and move it to the back of the list.

Please discuss with an administrator before creating a new vote!

Decrease Mainspace Edits Requirements for POTM (-4)

 * Suggested by Phineas99cp and confirmed by Kallie Jo

I am seeing lately, the lack of nominated users for POTM and the main reason is because you need 100+ mainspace edits the previous month to be nominated for POTM, thus some people can't surpass that goal. So I thought to make POTM easier by decreasing the mainspace edits a user requires to be nominated for POTM. Nevertheless, there could be less POTM Nominations in the near future.

 * I don't think 100 mainspace edits a month is asking too much. I make 1,300 mainspace edits a month on average. There's always something to edit, plus we want to make sure the nominee has done enough good work for the wiki last month to be worthy of the title. Kallie Jo  (talk)  23:12, March 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * The same people are always nominated. Totally agreed, Phineas. ._. 23:17, March 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, i agree with Kallie. There's plenty of things to edit. I usually edit around 100-200 per month. Also, there's always new pages to edit. JW, not all the same people get POTM all the time.

 * The whole point of that rule is so you can have at least some qualification. ɐɾuıN uǝǝɹפ (talk) 23:32, March 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * A user doesn't necessarily have to have made many mainspace edits the previous month to be POTM. I agree that it should be decreased. I'd suggest something like 50 edits. -- 23:43, March 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * It could be somewhere around 50-80 mainspace edits so an user qualifies for POTM at least...
 * If the limit so far was 100 edits, and now it's too much for the average user, i believe that reducing the limit would result a scenario on which users get use not to pass much that new criteria limit, and even these 80 mainspace edits, or 50 or whatever, become too much and we have to hold a vote like this again, so that more people could be nominated. Or, perhaps, we need to find a new way of encouraging people to edit more, both fun and interesting, so more people will make over 100 mainspace edits without even noticing. Either way, maybe we're missing the the point. Penguin-Pal   (talk)  12:21, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see how 100 edits is so 'hard-to-get'. Besides, there are always new pages to create and stuff to edit. And no, the POTM is not the same ALL the time. --Pot O' Gold clothing icon ID 324.png LUCKY   SUGAR  Shamrock Pin.PNG 03:50, March 19, 2014 (UTC) 03:40, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * No! It it is not hard! The person of POTM has to be HELPFUL to the wiki! BRICKLEBERRY! 02:17, March 23, 2014 (UTC)

Limiting templates usage for User Pages content (+1)

 * Suggested and confirmed by Penguin-Pal

According to this suggestion, users will only be allowed to store personal-use content for their/someone else's user page in a sub page of the user that this content is meant to, and not in another namespace like in a template.

Templates are especially made for creating content that will be used in a variety of places, and in recent years, many of the new templates were created exclusively for someone's user page. Many of these templates consist of just several words, or only contain another template inside them. Due to that, searching for actual templates that are made for articles (such as infoboxes, or for a large number of users (such as userboxes) much harder, and flood the recent templates changes with content that really cannot be related to anything but somepne's user page.

So, for instance, for a user named Foo, instead of storing the user page content in Template:Foo's User Page, to use User:Foo/Userpage instead.

 * The intro above is really a nutshell of the problem- otherwise it would be too long for reading. It's not as if i don't think templates could be used for storing user page, but i think it's gone way too far and should be stopped on time. I'm willing to do my best to change this situation. Penguin-Pal   (talk)  16:59, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * No. Just no. --Pot O' Gold clothing icon ID 324.png LUCKY   SUGAR  Shamrock Pin.PNG 03:49, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * There's really no point. ɐɾuıN uǝǝɹפ (talk) 00:36, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't decide! And I have a template on my user page but I try to rarely edit that :P BRICKLEBERRY! 02:17, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * I vote for especially since this is often used as a loophole for the 40% user namespace edit ratio limit. 12:07, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

Add "Names in Other Languages" section to other articles. (+5)

 * Suggested by Phineas99cp and confirmed by Penguin-Pal

As you could see, there have been several articles with the section we are talking about right now. So an effective way to expand more the wiki, making the article's quality bigger would be adding the "Names in Other Languages" section to every article. Item articles, background articles, furniture articles, etc. It's also handy whenever an user would like to learn deeply more into languages.

 * I don't see a reason why not, it sounds great! Penguin-Pal   (talk)  08:15, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm all for this. Hopefully we would get lots of help in translating from users who say they "don't usually know what to edit". Kallie Jo  <font color="00CC66">(talk)  14:43, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Who the hell would disagree? :D We could learn a different language too :P BRICKLEBERRY! 02:17, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * We could learn different languages and be a multi-language wiki. Well, in a way, anyway :P --Pot O' Gold clothing icon ID 324.png LUCKY   SUGAR  Shamrock Pin.PNG 11:57, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
