From the poll, a majority had voted on allowing the staff to choose the winner and nominations are based on staff and users, as per usual. However, the large minority will not go unnoticed, and I feel as if we can implement the idea of specified edits into the staff decision as a requirement to win.

There is also the implementation of set dates to nominate users (as voting is with staff). Users can be nominated on the 20th of February, if I remember correctly. I will make a separate thread about the required edits.

Edits in general are mainspace, DECENT role ideas, answering questions on the ask questions board. This was how it was previously. I do not think DoTW should be included as useful edits, as DoTW is not the way it currently is anymore, and it’s original purpose is gone for the time being.

So, in general, I am including both majorities. The lower majorities are not “influential” enough.

So, from what staff have discussed (although there has been a recent lack thereof), with the new implementations on the current system from both voting sides, ToTM will run like this:

Users are given until the time allowed to get in their specified mainspace/required edits for the month. On the specified date (20th for Feb), nominations will begin. Nominations will end on the second-to-last day, and voting via staff begins on the last day. The winner is announced starting the first day of the next month.

The separate thread I mentioned would be an eligibility thread to confirm that users who wish to run are eligible. You can earn eligibility any time, but you CANNOT be nominated until you are eligible. This prevents hassle in terms of re-voting. It would just be a mark of who is eligible. I request users who feel they are eligible post a bump on that thread for staff to check it and confirm their eligibility.

For staff: Mainspace edits must be decent and not minor changes. A good mainspace edit is fixing around a few sentences worth of errors or page-breaking ones, rewriting paragraphs to organize it better if it sounds weird (do not constantly change them), adding new images or videos (try to refrain blurryness on images but these are of high acceptance), or revisions on paragraphs or sentences. Role cards can be updated to include holding and correct other based on the game cards. (The mafia goal has changed and a lot of mafia pages need to be updated on it)

Role Ideas follow a first come first serve, unless said response isn’t helpful. Please check the forum rules and the reviewing roles pages.

Ask questions are for everyone, each question answered will count. Multiple questions on one thread that are answered is fine.

I’m going to be working hard to get these in check and put up the required threads. If anyone has any objections, concerns, issues, anything, PLEASE get those to me as quick as possible. I’ve been doing a lot of work and I am rushing to get these in and up running before I forget about them.
