"This policy does not apply to list or table pages such as Places and Trophy Descriptions (Super Smash Bros. Brawl), just actual articles."[edit]

...Why not?

If we just split off three of the biggest MarioWiki pages off into smaller articles, all three of which were lists and two of which didn't have ANY discussion about this clause to our policy first, then why does this clause exist on our policy if it's clearly not right anymore?

Also, why is this clause a thing to begin with if lists are the easiest & least problematic pages on a wiki to split? User:Somethingone/sig 06:43, August 7, 2022 (EDT)

Short articles and stubs[edit]

I think it's pretty ironic that, despite this page's name, it actually only deals with long articles plus when to split them, and not the other way around. From what I looked up, guidelines on short articles and stubs seem to be all over the place, and it came to my realization that in my latest proposal, virtually all voters argued that "a short article doesn't mean it doesn't deserve being one" while it's not exactly well defined in guidelines. Could this be expanded to address those such articles?
