<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">[[Image:Alert.png]] '''Status:''' ''This page is out of date, but still helpful. Please read the page on the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]] for current (ever changing) practices.''
</ul>

If you think there is a need for a new [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]], please proceed as follows:
# If you are unsure, whether this has been discussed already, you could ask on the [[Users Mailing List|UsersMailingList]]. Also please search the [[MusicBrainz Wiki|MusicBrainzWiki]] for related places where the issue might have been discussed already.
# Raise the issue on the [[Style Mailing List|StyleMailingList]].
# If people start to pick your proposal up, or if you need to describe it in detail, please create a wiki page for it.
#* Note that [[Wiki Name|WikiName]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s of [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]]s should have the form <code><nowiki>XYStyle</nowiki></code> and [[Editing Guideline|EditingGuideline]]s have the form <code><nowiki>DoThis</nowiki></code>. Check [[Good WikiName|GoodWikiName]] for more information.
#* The page should be of CategoryGuideline and CategoryProposedStyle. <ref>There is currently no category for proposed [[Editing Guideline|EditingGuideline]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s, go ahead and create it, if you need it</ref>
#* List your page on [[Proposed Style Guideline|ProposedStyleGuideline]] and describe it in a few words.
#* '''Important:''' Intertwingle your page. Link to it from related places in the wiki. If you do not do that, your page is likely to drop out of focus quickly.
#* Try to answer the questions on [[Checklist For Style Changes|ChecklistForStyleChanges]]
# If consensus is reached, your page will eventually be made official by a member of the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]]. Don't do this yourself.

That's about it.
