Create "Unused appearances" sections in history
Unused appearances are currently covered in the "Other appearances" headers in history sections as a result of this 2019 proposal, however a more recent proposal refined the scope of other appearances sections to mostly cover third-party media that is otherwise outside of our coverage, while still retaining the unused appearances due to the earlier proposal, which seems very weird, in my opinion. So, I'm proposing to add an additional Unused appearances section which will go at the bottom of history sections and cover all unused appearances.

If the create with headers option is chosen, unused appearances sections will be divided by game and series, like normal history sections. If the create without headers option is chosen, there will be a single header where all information is kept. If do nothing is chosen, well, that's self-explanatory.

Create with headers

 * 1) Per the proposer, who, might I add, seems like a very neat person.
 * 2) It makes sense to separate this information from the “Other appearances” sections if they are generally only for third-party appearances now, and I feel that using headers would make it more organized.
 * 3) Per all, this sounds like it would make coverage of unused appearances a lot more consistent.
 * 4) Per all, this sounds like a good idea, especially by putting it at the bottom of the history section as mentioned in the proposal to reflect how it went unused and therefore are more of a footnote in that subject's history.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per proposal.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.

Create without headers

 * 1) Second choice.

===Rename "List of clothing" articles for the Mario & Luigi series to "List of gear", and merge "List of badges" articles for Superstar Saga and Partners in Time with those respective articles=== Regarding the former part, "gear" is the term more consistantly used in these games such as in the menu and in shops. Regarding the latter, lists for the different types of gear (e.g gloves and boots) are not split (and the badge list for Superstar Saga's remake is already merged), so this would make those more consistant with the other pages.

I will list the articles here for convenience: List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga; List of badges in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time; List of badges in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

 * 1) Per proposal
 * 2) Per proposal.
 * 3) Per Swallow.

Reminder I did pass a proposal to split all the individual items in them, but haven't yet gotten around to it due to the massive undertaking it will be. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:15, January 7, 2022 (EST)
 * We could still retain the list pages to link to all the articles afterwards. 15:19, January 7, 2022 (EST)
 * Yeah there's still no reason to not have these list pages. For one thing, we still have articles listing all the badges in the first two Paper Mario games which all have their own articles. 15:28, January 7, 2022 (EST)

Shouldn't these article names be "List of (game title) gear" anyway, to be consistent with every other list articles (ie List of Mario Party 6 minigames, List of Paper Mario quotes, List of Super Mario Odyssey media)? 17:01, January 10, 2022 (EST)
