This is a proposal to allow for divergent formatting for tales pages.

As of this proposal's release, the pages in question are already using variant formatting (two out of five pages in the tales category do not have episode infoboxes,) though staff intends to establish consistency by placing episode infoboxes on all tales, based on a precedent of three pages written by one user.

The Manual of Style is currently unclear about ways to format tales pages. It is my personal belief that the nature of some of these pages is to experiment with different styles and techniques when writing, and I believe that a case-by-case method of arranging these pages serves that purpose best — It allows for the artist to present their work in a way they feel adequately fits.

The amendment I am proposing would be to allow omission of templates such as the episode template (used to dictate an episode's placement within a season,) apart from the tales category template at the bottom of the page, as well as the omission of opening statements (X is a tale about Y. It features Z) and summaries.

Clarifying edit: The usage of templates will be decided by the author of the tale.

This proposal will last for one week and end on April 17th, 2022 at 11:00pm CST.

Currently, on articles, abilities is used specifically to refer to supernatural or android powers, as opposed to a wider definition of abilities that includes talents. I believe that if talents, skills, and the like are included with powers in the abilities sections of articles, it will not only help readers learn more about our characters, but also serve to be more inclusive overall with a wider scope.

Today I'm proposing the creation of a #showcase channel in the server, it would combine the #music and archived #artwork channel, as well as being a space to post other YouTube videos and trailers.

This proposal will last for one week and end on February 24th at 11 AM CST.

Today I'm proposing the unarchival of the #artwork channel in the server. It would be a place for users to post original artwork, as well as discuss other artwork like graphic design, cinematography, and video game graphics.

This proposal will last for one week and end on February 24th at 11 AM CST.

The policy page states, "If a page has been marked as a stub for longer than a month, it will be then marked for deletion."

There is also a clause that excludes location pages from needing to be three hundred words. "Unless it is a location page or something similar, please include a minimum of three hundred words..."

Many pages that are less than 300 words have all been on the Wiki, not even marked as stubs or deleted. Some pages are marked as stubs, but they have never been deleted.

This rule can be amended into something fairer that can help things be consistent.

1. If a page is less than 2,000 bytes, it is marked as a stub. Everyone can help out and fix it. All clauses are removed. It is not deleted after a month. That only happens if the community decides to after an extended period.

2. If a page is less than 1,000 bytes for more than one month, it is deleted.

This proposal will end on January 6, 2022, at 5:30 PM EST.

#plans would be a place for roleplayers to write extended plans/information in Discord. What is written there would be then pinned for easy access.

This is mainly to account for the pin limit of #main-chat.

Vote Support, Neutral, or Oppose.

This thread is where the fifth roleplayer reviews (RPRs) will be held.

The purpose of the RPRs is for the community to evaluate the performance of other roleplayers on a large scale. Responses to this thread can be varied, focusing on a roleplayer's character, writing quality, creativity, commitment, and more.

Please note that this thread is only a large conversation. This thread is not a location to vote on whether or not a roleplayer should be suspended, but an evaluation of their performance. Considerations of a suspension can indirectly occur due to RPRs, but it is not its main purpose.

Below is a list of roleplayers who participated in the last six months. Responses do not have to include all of them, only certain ones you feel you need to be highlighted. Please remain on-topic and do not add irrelevant replies.

• Chase McFly

• Downtown Freezy

• Endercat TM

• Octopus Wizard

• Quinton1721

• TheKorraFanatic

The fifth RPR will end on December 7th, 2021.

I am hosting a proposal to have a new channel created in The Demon's Light discord server. Currently roleplay is discussed in general chat with normal conversation and memes ongoing and eventually gets flooded out. Making it hard for Mobile and new members to gather information regarding the roleplay.

I believe a channel should be made for discussing the roleplay to help focus on the roleplay and help newer members understand what is going on.

Currently, the adoption guidelines state that if a user hasn't edited their character in the last four weeks, it is considered abandoned and therefore available for adoption.

This is insane. I propose that we change this guideline to say

In order to adopt a character page, the creator has to be retired from the community for, at least, four weeks or put their own character up for adoption.

This proposal will end on June 9th, 2021 at 10:30 PM CST. Please vote Support, Neutral, or Oppose.

I know I've already made a proposal like this, but due to the user in question returning and saying he would change his ways, I withdrew it. Unfortunately, we have gotten into the same repetitive pattern countless times and the RP has been very stagnant, with Season 2 taking us a long time to complete. The characters had to be omitted/handed around in the previous episode, and I dread how much it will happen in Season 3 of TDL, which from the look of things will be done by late 2023. I believe that we should suspend certain users from the RP if they exhibit persistent uncooperative behavior and allow others to play as their characters.
