Shouldn't this be a proper article?[edit]

Currently, this page is a disambiguation page for Thing stickers from Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Thing Cards from Paper Mario: Color Splash. However, this negates the fact that Things in their purest form are 3D objects that exist in the game's world; only after they are picked up can they be turned into either a sticker or a card.

It would make sense to have a dedicated article that properly defines what a Thing even is rather than relegating that explanation to mere mentions on two separate articles. Jdtendo(T|C) 03:06, July 2, 2025 (EDT)

Agree, plain and simple. Where else do we mention the Album can hold an infinite number of Things but not an infinite number of Thing Stickers? (Well okay, probably on the article for Thing Stickers, but hopefully the point still makes sense.) Or how Things are unique in that as long as Mario has a Thing in the album, be that in normal or sticker form, the Thing doesn't appear in stages. Or even have a list of the Things with effects before you pick them up, like the Fan and Faucet being the basis of entire stages or the Stapler (Thing) jumpscare. Can't really help you in writing it, I only have experience with Sticker Star. Salmancer (talk) 08:23, July 2, 2025 (EDT)
Seconding this. We don't think expanding this into a proper "Thing" page would be particularly contentious. Camwoodstock-sigicon.png~Camwoodstock ( talk contribs ) Camwoodstock-sigicon2.png 15:19, July 2, 2025 (EDT)
I think this merge is back from when individual Sticker Star stickers and Color Splash cards didn't get their own pages. It's overdue IMO. Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png 14:54, July 5, 2025 (EDT)
