Classify Sonic Lost World as a guest appearance
Sonic Lost World for Wii U has a special Yoshi's Island Zone (released December 18, 2013), a playable zone where Sonic fights Piranha Plants and Shy Guys, as well as interacts with objects from the Yoshi series such as Egg Block.

 * 1) Wait, this wasn't already a guest appearance? Per proposal
 * 2) Per proposal. Sonic Lost World isn't a Mario game so it would be a guest appearance.

Oppose

 * 1) It isn't included in any version of the base game, so I don't think the game itself is worth being covered, but I wouldn't oppose giving the "Yoshi's Island Zone" DLC a full article instead.

, how would giving a free update (not paid DLC) the title of guest appearance work? Spectrogram (talk) 01:44, January 7, 2023 (EST)
 * It doesn't really make a difference if the content is free or paid. Sooner or later, like the Wii servers, the Wii U servers will shut down. Necessarily, as the content remains exclusive to the Wii U version, it will become far less accessible to the average person in the aftermarket. And for people who lose the data they already downloaded on their console, it becomes lost permanently unless they homebrew. If Yoshi's Island Zone was included in the physical "Deadly Six Edition" release, I'd support it, but it wasn't a day-one addition to the game. LinkTheLefty (talk) 06:57, January 7, 2023 (EST)

Make changes on Yoshi franchise articles
I want to support some changes on the Yoshi franchise articles. The article about the series of Yoshi platformers could be too excessive and could be deleted and merged into the article about the Yoshi's Island series to classify Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Balloon Trip, Yoshi Touch & Go, Yoshi's Island DS, and Yoshi's New Island as direct installments in the Yoshi's Island series and Yoshi's Story, Yoshi Demo, the Purple Yoshi tech demo, Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, Yoshi's Woolly World, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, and Yoshi's Crafted World as indirect games of the Yoshi's Island series. For example, Yoshi's Story's working title was Yoshi's Island 64, and the early logo looks similar to the SNES game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island logo, implying that Yoshi's Story was originally planned as a sequel to said game and would have been a direct title in the Yoshi's Island series. Another example says that third-party company Game Informer calls Yoshi's Woolly World an indirect title in the Yoshi's Island series, stating that the game is "the best Yoshi's Island since the original Super Nintendo title". In addition to this change, the page about the Yoshi puzzle games could be moved to "Yoshi (series)". For example, Tetris Attack could be a spin-off of the Yoshi series of puzzle games.

This proposal really needs more options; primarily to be able to support one or the other rather than only all at once. 20:43, December 31, 2022 (EST)
 * I also doubt the proposal format is appropriate for this. 21:30, December 31, 2022 (EST)
