Proposal: [Core] backwards referential queue
Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Append to rule 1.5 “Proposals” the following text:
If a Proposal refers to another Proposal by name, it is assumed to be the most recent Proposal in the queue that has that name and was posted during the current dynasty.
This is to help prevent confusion or scams that might happen when people refer to a proposal in the queue and to compartmentalize proposals to their own dynasties if referenced by a proposal from a later dynasty.
Kevan: he/him
Hmm, I thought we already had a clause that covered this, but I can’t see it. But obscure edge cases should go in the glossary, not the core rules. And this wording endorses scams involving s future proposal (propose “enact proposal called X but without the subrule” in reference to a recent failed proposal, then, after some votes of support, propose “X” again as a new I-win proposal with a null subrule).
