I'd first suggest to establish voting as part of a bigger decision-making policy. As for that still inexistent policy, we can create a decision-making brainstorming thread to combine various input from admins and mods into a policy. What do you say?

As for my suggestions on voting itself:

Limiting the right to vote to active admins and mods only. It sounds a bit elitist, but limiting voting would make the process much more concise. Without a cap, any type of user could affect the outcome of voting. Users whose edits are unreliable, users who barely contribute, users who haven't quite grasped how does the site work, users who don't really care about or understand the importance the matter being discussed but vote becuase they can, etc. Admins and mods have been granted certain rights due to the level of dedication they put into their contributions. I don't think it's fair their voice in important matters could have the same weight as that of a user that doesn't consider the Marvel wiki as a priority.

End of voting procedure: I agree with having the voting process run for one week. If voting rights are limited to admins and mods, I propose the following change: Voting should only end prematurely if all eligible voters have voted before the voting period ended. On the fifth day of voting procedure, eligible voters who have yet to weigh in should be directly convoked via messages in their walls. This gives them three days to join the voting process before it ends.
