Allow users to make a user subpage for 'Shroom sections
The subpages allowed for userpages are for only for things like signatures, archives, wiki projects and other stuff. What you cannot make is a sub page filled with all the 'Shroom sections you have made. In this proposal I am wanting to change the rule so that you can have a user sub page for 'Shroom sections. In it, users would either link to all their sections or transclude their sections onto their page (e.g. ).

That would make it easier for users who want to read all sections made by a particular user, or to simply find a certain section to read. It is hard to find a particular 'Shroom section in the archives because there are so many issues released, and if you don't know Roman numerals finding an issue before issue 100 would be hard! This new sub page would also make it easier for 'Shroom writers and other users to count how many sections they've written, without having to look through every issue of The 'Shroom.

 * 1) Per my proposal.

Comments
A couple of comments before casting a vote: doesn't work for transclusion, it transcludes the entire page; when you mention it's hard to find a particular section in the archives, do you mean like "I want to read Guess That Game! from Issue 80" or "I want to find that review of Super Mario 64 but I have no idea which issue it appeared in"? -- 05:00, 22 March 2017 (EDT)

Interesting idea, but I've been including my own sections on my userpage for some time now :P The thing with this though is that the writer would still have to manually include their section into their userpage. Some of the 'Shroom writers are no longer around, so, unless this particular userpage was unprotected like a talk page, it'd be difficult to maintain. Additionally, and I just tried this myself, you can search for a writer's segment in The 'Shroom using the search function. Simply type in a user, go to "Advanced", check only The 'Shroom, and you'd end up with this. It's not exact, but it'll get you close. 12:01, 22 March 2017 (EDT)
 * @Alex95: I still have no opinion on this, but the comments might be of use. I'll keep myself posted. 18:26, 22 March 2017 (EDT)

If translusion wouldn't work, then just link to your sections on your userpage. I don't think it's necessary to have a separate user subpage for them. 18:34, 22 March 2017 (EDT)
 * That's exactly what I was thinking. The links would probably not clog your page up. Even if you did write that many sections, there would be ways to make it not clogged. 20:00, 22 March 2017 (EDT)

The main reason I created this proposal was mostly so that users can put their Shroom sections on it. Linking it was just something else you could do (though if you created the extra Shroom subpage, it would be easier to find your sections without searching through your userpage). There must be some other way to easily translude their sections onto that page. Otherwise, users would just have to copy their section the long way. But there's nothing wrong with doing that (unless you have written like 50 or more sections, and that would take forever!) If you have enough patience, you could create a nice looking page filled with all your 'Shroom sections! 04:23, 23 March 2017 (EDT)

Merge Redundant Paper Mario Items
There are several items from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door which are clearly intended to return in Super Paper Mario, but have different pages due to having different English names. Considering that they look identical and usually have the same name in every country except the US, they should probably be merged as per the precedent set by more proposals than I can count. As for the items having slightly different effects between games, that happens all the time.

Here's a list of the proposed changes:


 * Koopa Bun would be merged with Koopa Dumpling
 * Mango Delight would be merged with Mango Pudding
 * Mousse Cake would be merged with Mousse
 * Omelette Meal would be merged with Omelette Plate
 * Shroom Roast would be merged with Roast Shroom Dish
 * Spaghetti would be merged with Spaghetti Plate

If there are any I missed, let me know.

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) I would question whether or not this proposal is necessary, but either way it would be nice to have a single proposal to point towards should the issue ever come up again.
 * 3) I am wondering about whether it should be a proposal. Either way, Spaghetti and Spaghetti Plate are the only ones mentioned that actually have a big noticeable difference. Besides that, Roast Shroom is slightly different texture from Shroom Roast. That said, I am not 100% sure if we should merge Spaghetti and Spaghetti Plate, but I am 100% ok with the others merging.
