MarioWiki:PipeProject

A PipeProject is a central page for a major project that often branches out into multiple articles. With the Super Mario Wiki growing day by day and more Mario games coming out in the next few months, such as Yoshi's Island 2, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart Wii (tenative), articles about and relating to those games could use some organization to be completed, hence PipeProjects.

Origin
Luigi's Mansion and its talk page and two side templates, ghosts and rooms was the first project worked on and inspired the idea behind PipeProjects. A total of 99 articles (49 ghosts, 49 rooms, and 1 main article), the talk page became cluttered and ideas on how to create some of the ghosts and rooms were split between the template talk pages and the main talk page, meaning the message was very hard to deliver. PipeProjects is meant to keep everything related to such a project into one page, with its talk page being a forum and the organizer of the project. It took 25 days to create all 99 articles, and hopefully PipeProjects will cut that time at least in half.

See PipeProjects' own talk page for more details on the origin from one of Super Mario Wiki's contributors.
