'''Optional next step for proposers.''' This is optional, and you can leave it to the [[CZ:Proposals/Policy#The proposal driver|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. ([[CZ:Proposals/Policy|Guidelines are available]].)

|Summary of proposal = Topic Informants have been discussed off and on for months but nothing ever seems to be done about it. At Larry's suggestion, I once wrote a long TI about my relations with [[Robert A. Heinlein]]. Nothing has ever been done with it, even though I have brought up the topic from time to time, and the information is buried '''deep''' within my own user page at [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/TI:Hayford_Peirce/Heinlein]. Why shouldn't there be an optional tab called Top. Inform. at the top of the Heinlein page, so that '''anyone''' who visits that page can review the info contained therein and then, if it is deemed qualified, put some of it into the article itself? If not, then why bother to have TI pages in the first place?

Instructions

To start a new proposal or issue, simply click this edit link - it is recommended that you right-click the link, and select 'open in new window' to open it in a new window, so that you can continue to be able to read the instructions here in the old window. That link will provide an edit window containing a blank copy of the template which needs to be filled out in order to create a new proposal section here. Enter the details in the template, using the instructions below, and press save! That's it — it's very easy.

Here's how to fill it out:

  1. 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 exact same text goes in the Subject/headline box, too.
  2. Summary of proposal. Limited to 100 words.
  3. Name and date of original proposer: write four tildes ~~~~
  4. 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.
  5. Next step. The next thing you need to do to move the proposal toward reality. Not sure what to write? Hints here.
  6. 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.
  7. (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 list of all proposals.

If a proposal here does not have a "driver," it may be moved to the driverless proposals queue a week after being proposed.

Extension:FormatDates

Summary: It's very annoying the way some dates on CZ are in UK format (3rd May 2009 or 03/05/2009), some in US format (May 3, 2009 or 05/03/2009), and some in "international" format (2009-05-03). The use of the FormatDates extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FormatDates) would solve this problem.
