Combine Current and Previous Day's Suggestions

With the low number of suggestions being made these days, I think it would be best if we removed the previous days suggestions section, and just allowed all suggestions (that arn't removed for other reasons) to remain in the main section until cycled -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 02:04 28 February 2009 (BST)

I concur. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I disagree. The difference I find helpful, as do other users that are undecided and wish to wait on the community's opinions. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 02:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

How does having the two sections (one of which is often empty anyway if it's being cycled regularly) help make up your mind? -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 02:54 28 February 2009 (BST)

I'm torn. I can see the logic in what Boxy says, but the category is there for a reason, and Iscariot has a point. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to agree with Iscariot on this on. Some people don't get a chance to look in every day or two, so it's nice for those people to see what's new-ish and what's been up for a few days already. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 10:49, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

The listing includes the date the suggestion was made, plus they're in chronological order (or at least should be). --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 12:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd go for this:

• Suggestions volume is not what it once was thanks in no small part to the revamped Developing Suggestions.
• Doing this would make it easier to view all the suggestions currently up for voting via the handy "Current Suggestions" template included on them all.
• And ultimately, I'm a fan of productive laziness. :)

The current format is too long if we're going to start keeping them on the list until they close. IMO one suggestion shouldn't take more than one row. Perhaps move to a similar (table) format as Recently Closed Suggestions? --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 09:00, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Humorous Suggestions

What does everyone think about putting humorous suggestions in the wiki news? It could be done exactly like current suggestions:
A new Humorous Suggestion has been submitted. All users are encouraged to vote here.
On the one hand I could see it being spamish, on the other, it might be refreshing and fun.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 01:14, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

No. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:17, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

No. Why would serious suggestions be contained to Current Suggestions whilst crap gets preference and gets put onto the Main Page? No. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 01:23, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• Current Suggestions aren't listed, so why should we do it for humorous ones? Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 02:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• I thought for sure I'd seen "Several game changes are being suggested. All users are encouraged to vote here" at one time. But if it was a hallucination or just an exception then I agree. Humorous suggestions shouldn't get special treatment over the real ones.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 12:23, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
