Merge all YWW [X] Patch Articles with Their Non-Patch Articles
In Yoshi's Woolly World, some enemies, such as the Ruffin Tumble, have a patch form, that is simply a pixelated version of the original enemy; they're the exact same as the originals, except that they look different and that the patch forms are seen in blocks, and are released after the block is eaten. I don't think that one minor difference is enough to warrant separate articles for the original and the patch form. The only thing that might be a problem is their positions in the Scrapbook Theater, but I'm not sure that warrants separate articles either.

Support

 * 1) My proposal.

Oppose

 * 1) Looking at the Dream Team enemies, the R enemies all have separate changes, despite being only recolors with different stats. For consistency, the patch enemies should keep their own pages.
 * 2) per Superchao
 * 3) - Per Superchao.
 * 4) I don't necessarily agree with comparison Superchao is trying to make. We separate R enemies because they're treated as separate enemies, supported by stats and a recolor. We do sometimes merge mere aesthetic variants such as the Scarescraper ghosts. I do oppose because there are only four patch enemies in the game, so all we're getting are four harmless small articles on a minor aesthetic variant. You can also argue that the methods for encountering them is different compared to the standard enemy as another case to leave them split, but just the amount of articles alone tells me it's okay to leave them as standalone.
 * 5) Per Superchao and Bazooka Mario.
 * 6) Completely different enemies. Per all.
 * 7) Per Bazooka Mario.

Comments
It may be an issue if all enemies have a patch form, but it seems to me that we have only Bullet Bill Patch, Monty Mole Patch, Nipper Spore Patch, and Ruffin' Tumble Patch that exist. Maybe it's not so bad that we leave it as it is? 19:14, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Implement or Delete
I created this template as a draft with the idea of placing it on every wiki page for Mario Party boards. I do not, however, want to put it on before passing this idea to the community. I think this template would allow for easier navigation and support its implementation for that reason.

Implement

 * 1) per proposal
 * 2) This definitely works and will benefit navigating the wiki although I must agree with my sister. Next time, create a draft page in your userspace first so you can edit and stuff without having other users possibly notice this template and then start using it, especially if you're just going to end up creating a proposal on its existence.
 * 3) Per Bazooka Mario.
 * 4) - Per Bazooka Mario.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Seems extremely useful, implement it.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) This is useful indeed! Per everyone!
 * 9) Per all.
 * 10) Per all, noting BabyLuigi's comments below.

Comments
You should have created a specific draft page for your project before you create an official template. Anyway, your colors are all wrong. Look at how other Mario Party games format their cell colors (an example being Mario Party 5's nav template). Your first style background should be #FAFA00, not #FFFF00, and the second color should be #FFFF33. And if you're going to separate the boards into two categories, you need to specify and create specific cells for each type (split the single player and multiplayer boards into their own cells, not lumped under a single game). The text on the left cells should be centered and bolded. I do support the addition of a navtemplate for the Mario Party boards, as I think it could get one considering Mario Party is a big series, like Mario Kart, that probably should get navtemplates in a similar vein to how it gets racetracks, but please format it correctly when you create new navtemplates. 17:50, 5 April 2016 (EDT)
