Talk:Dragon Wario (Wario Land series)

Should Dragon Wario be included in the Dragon Category and Template? -
 * No, because it's a form of Wario, not an actual dragonn
 * Id like to counter that. The Ice Template has Ice Mario and Ice Luigi in it. Why can't the Dragon template have Dragon Wario then?

Fire Creatures
Wario isn't really a creature, so could I remove him from this template?

 * No, the Fire Template shows everything that is associated with fire, including Wario. As for "creature", my dictionary's definition is "anything created, especially a living being" which means Wario is a creature. We went with the name "creature" because of this universality: it covers characters (i.e. Wario), species (animals and plants) and things that are neither (like ghosts, and half the things on the template). - 22:24, 1 December 2008 (EST)


 * The fire template seems pretty pointless. Does anyone actually use it to navigate through "fire" articles? Is it even helpful? --
 * No not really. Many fire creatures have appeared in the Mario series, and it would also make some templates like the Ice and Dragon templates kinda awkward if we consider that. Think about it..."Does anyone need to navigate through Dragon articles?" IMO, the more templates an article has, the better it is.
 * I've used it to research species that use fire, and I've used the Dragon template for the same reasons. It's interesting and useful from a scientific point of view. - 22:39, 1 December 2008 (EST)


 * But a category does exactly the same thing, and in an orderly way (not scrunched links all crammed into a little box). I disagree with you Super-Yoshi - I think templates need to be extremely functional, or else they are pointless.  More templates does not make an article better.  Too many can make it worse.  This wiki over-creates templates.  Not every category needs a template - the category does it's job just fine.  Along with this fire one, we should also probably consider getting rid of the Ice and Dragon ones as well. --
 * Get rid of the elementals if you must, but I ask that we leave the Dragons. They're a valid group of animals, like the Shy Guys, Goombas and Koopas. Also, I didn't know if it's just me, but I find browzing via. templates much more appealing than staring at category lists. Templates make articles feel a bit more connected, IMO. But then again, I'm weird... - 22:46, 1 December 2008 (EST)


 * Yeah I dunno. I guess ultimately I don't care too much.  But these templates that are essentially the categories really bug me.  Like, what's the point?  So yeah, I dunno.  Let's get some other opinions, yes? --
 * Ask Stooben Rooben, he made a lot of the templates, and should definitely have a say in this. We might also want to make it a proposal, seeing as it'd affect a lot of articles, and we'd need to spread the word that categorical templates are to be discouraged. Personally, I like lots of templates because it helps small articles like this one get noticed; but I'll admit, it does makes the big pages like Bowser a bit onerous. - 23:09, 1 December 2008 (EST)
 * I don't think it's really worth a proposal since it's just a small change on the very bottom of each page. I still object to "creature" because even though it isn't wrong, I think it is awkward to call individual people "creatures"(I know I wouldn't like being called a "creature!")Same with Fire Mario and Fire Luigi--those are just forms, not separate entities or creatures from regular old Mario and Luigi. Don't care enough to fight for it, really.  Having templates-categories has always bugged me on this site, especially when they have the same exact things on both.  I don't think that we need templates aside form things like "power-ups", "bosses", or other important material.  Just my two cents.
