Split the Badges of Paper Mario and The Thousand-Year Door into separate articles
'''Note: This proposal is not advocating to split the lists from the Badge article into separate articles. It is advocating for every single badge in those lists to have their own, respective articles. This is to prevent any confusion.'''

I'm well aware that I'm going on a bit of a splitting spree with these proposals, but stick with me for a second.

Yes, we already have lists on the main Badge page that seemingly sets up all of the badges' info in a tidy manner, but there are quite a few elements that could be added. Names in other languages, in-game descriptions (both on pick-up and in the journal), synergies/conflicts with other badges, better explanations of where they can be found besides "this whole area"... Besides, is there any real reason why they shouldn't have articles besides consistency? I mean, they're basically regular items that have permanent effects instead of one-off effects (there are quite a few that also act as special moves), and we have plenty of articles on items that are basically masquerading as keys to the next level, or even literal keys. I feel like there's certainly enough information to substantiate each and every one of these badges. For this proposal, the badges from Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will be the only ones covered (though discussion could lead to changes), since there are notable differences between the PM badges and the M&L badges and I'd like to take baby steps before diving in.

Articles For All

 * 1) Per.
 * 2) I agree. It's a good idea.
 * 3) Per Time Turner (Is this the first time I said that?)
 * Ok, now that I have understood better than thought before I typed, yes, I agree with this proposal. Badges like this have as much merit has having separate articles as Orbs and candies, both of which are supplemental, yet essential items for the gameplay and have their own names in foreign languages. Split these articles.
 * 1) Per all.
 * 2) Per all. But the stickers in  Paper Mario: Sticker Star  will suffer the same treatment?

@Baby Luigi: I think you've misread what this proposal wants to do...

Split the ghosts of ScareScraper into separate articles
In recent months the policy of the wiki has changed. We have created a separate articles for all the assistants and the Pokemon Super Smash Bros.. The proposal to create a separate articles for each badge is going well, even Alph also received their own page in spite of Super Smash Bros. is a simple alternate costume. So I think every single ghost deserves its own page.

Articles For All

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Per proposal, but I'm not helping...

Comments
Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at the Scarescraper page, it looks like each type of Ghost already has its own page.

Miscellaneous
None at the moment.
