Talk:Yoshi's Island (series): Difference between revisions
→Merge into Yoshi (platform series)

This article's only purpose is to steal away information from our [[Yoshi (platform series)|other article]] about the mainline Yoshi games. Why does it exist? It's not like we have an article about the SMB or NSMB series, which are both subseries of the mainline Mario games. But the reason they don't have articles is so that they don't become an utter mess like the aforementioned mainline Yoshi article. So why do we have this? It's not only completely redundant with [[Yoshi (platform series)]], but that article screams incomplete because it's constantly referring readers to this article to see the other half of the series. | This article's only purpose is to steal away information from our [[Yoshi (platform series)|other article]] about the mainline Yoshi games.

Yoshi's Island is ''not'' an independent series. It is a subseries of the mainline Yoshi games, which also has an article which suffers because of the existence of this one. Other subseries, like New Super Mario Bros., don't have their own articles. Therefore, I propose that we merge this into [[Yoshi (platform series)]] | Yoshi's Island is ''not'' an independent series.

We can still distinguish the YI games from Story/Woolly/Crafted, but the specifics can be decided on later. This proposal only deals with merging. | ||

@Mister Wu: Hmm...you have a good point. Maybe we could merge this page, but add a section to the other article that describes the differences between the YI games and the others? -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 10:11, April 26, 2019 (EDT) | @Mister Wu: Hmm...you have a good point.

:If you want to update the proposal by adding this choice (a section covering the series, adding why it's not exactly like the other Yoshi platform games beyond the name) or you want to update the main choice, I'd be open to that. There are various possible implementations (separate table, special mark on the same table), but those can be discussed afterwards.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:50, April 26, 2019 (EDT) | :If you want to update the proposal by adding this choice (a section covering the series, adding why it's not exactly like the other Yoshi platform games beyond the name) or you want to update the main choice, I'd be open to that.

::I updated the proposal to reflect this; this proposal now only deals with merging, and the specifics will be decided on afterwards. But thus far, it sounds like a good idea. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 11:09, April 26, 2019 (EDT) | |||
