Instructions
To start a new proposal or issue, simply copy the template below, click the edit link at the top of this page, paste the copied template into the text box at the bottom underneath the other proposals, fill out the details in the template, and press save! That's it—it's very easy. (Hint: you might want to open a copy of this page in a new window so that you can follow the instructions as you fill out the template.)
Here's the template:
== Brief descriptive title ==
{{proposal
|Brief descriptive title = ADD TITLE HERE
|Summary of proposal =
|Name and date of original proposer =
|Username of driver =
|Next step =
|Target date for next step =
|Notes =
}}
Here's how to fill it out:
Brief descriptive title. Make this brief, because it will be part of a page title. If you are raising an issue (ask for a decision among two or more options), please word the title as a question. Note, this goes in the== Heading ==, too.Summary of proposal. Limited to 100 words.Name and date of original proposer: write four tildes~~~~Username of driver. If you, write three tildes~~~; if someone else, specify. This is the person who makes sure the proposal moves along from step to step in its development. If the "driver" is left blank, and no one volunteers to be driver, your proposal may be moved to the "discarded" queue. The driver should get familiar with the proposals system policy page.Next step.The next thing you need to do to move the proposal toward reality. Not sure what to write? Hints here.Target date for next step. A date the driver commits to, for completing the next step. If you drop the ball, the proposal may become driverless.- (Optional)
Notes. Brief salient remarks. Bear in mind the bulk of the info about the proposal doesn't go here but on the (much bigger) proposal page. A handy link to the proposal page will pop up after you save the template.
Optional next step for proposers. This is optional, and you can leave it to the driver. Follow the "complete proposal" link you'll find at the bottom of your new proposal box. On that page, you can elaborate the proposal or issue, link to pre-existing discussions, and generally say whatever you think needs to be said in order to get the proposal adopted (or the issue decided) and implemented. That's generally where to follow the progress of your proposal. (Guidelines are available.)
New proposals
Looking for your proposal, which used to be here? Check the recently moved proposals page.
If a proposal here does not have a "driver," it may be moved to the driverless proposals queue a week after being proposed.
Technical Consolidation
Summary: Instead of having the forums, individual pages, the tools mailing list, and the bugs email, all technical aspects and issues dealing with the wiki could be moved over to CZ:Technical Team.

Redirection creation bot
Summary: I propose to create a bot that creates some redirects automatically to save users time that they could better use to create new articles instead of creating redirects and to increase the amount of redirects to make it easier for users to find the article they are looking for.

Romanization
Summary: Create a page called CZ:Romanization to deal with issues of how to romanize foreign words, placenames etc. that are normally written in other scripts, with subpages for individual languages, e.g. CZ:Romanization/Japanese. These pages would initially be for interested parties to discuss which romanization systems to adopt, eventually leading to official policy.
