Talk:Metal Luigi

Okay, should this article be a redirect to Luigi, or the Metal Luigi page itself? Lets let someone tell us. Paper Jorge ( Need to tell me something? Go to my talk page.&middot;Contributions&middot; ) 15:33, 8 October 2006 (EDT)


 * This article is legit, as it is a specific charater. If this was Metal Pikachu page, it would have no purpose as it would merely reiterate info about the Metal Box. -- Son of Suns
 * Yes, and I'm sure you'll have no problem showing me a single instance where anyone states or implies that Luigi and Metal Luigi are different beings. - A Link to the Past 20:23, 8 October 2006 (EDT)


 * This and all other character related forms and articles are considered separate articles. For example, if we did add them all to Mario, wouldn't it be confusing and cluttered? Repeat your actions again and you will be blocked.-Spike[[Image:Spike_sheild_badge.PNG]]
 * So basically you're saying that it is against guidelines for people to have an opinion that you dislike. WHY should it be a separate article? You would prefer that the Mario article be extremely short and have thousands of articles about every single form he has ever had over one article that is detailed? Under your logic, the Mario article on Wikipedia should be cluttered and confusing, but it is well-written and concise. - A Link to the Past 00:48, 9 October 2006 (EDT)
 * First, Metal Luigi is the same as Luigi, but it is a form that is stressed as a distinct representation of Luigi. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metal Luigi is not the result of Luigi getting the metal ability; Metal Luigi appears as a unique mini-boss. Second, the Mario article would become way too long if every single form of him was written about in depth in his page. For instance, information about how to transform into Frog Mario, Frog Mario's abilities, areas where Frog Mario is especially useful, along with any other trivia and other info, is not really relevant to Mario at all, only Frog Mario. Remember, this is the Super Mario Wiki. Everything about Mario's numerous forms do not need to be included in one article. In Wikipedia, an encyclopeida about everything, all the forms would be trivial and unneccesary. In the Super Mario Wiki, each form of Mario is important and should be recognized. The same applies to other focused wikis. Wookiepedia, the Star Wars wiki, has an article for IG-88, IG-88A, IG-88B, IG-88C, and IG-88D. These IG-88 robots are all the same, just different forms of the same character. Wikipedia, on the other hand, just has an article for IG-88, as articles for all four copies would be trivial in a general knowledge wiki. This is not Wikipedia. This is a focused wiki examining every aspect of the Marioverse. If you prefer Wikipedia's standards, please feel inclined to contribute there. -- Son of Suns
