== Congrats on 10 Archives! ==

== Sections ==

I wanted to ask something else. Is there any rule about condensing sections? I'll go over a bit of my experiences and questions below:

== Luigi in the Mario lookalikes category ==

It was pretty much agreed upon in my proposal that Luigi, Wario and Waluigi shouldn't include the respective lookalikes categories, so I would like to remove it from Luigi's article again. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 06:21, January 3, 2024 (EST)

:I'd claim that Luigi would technically qualify in the proposal's provisions,[https://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/64#Rework_the_.22lookalikes.22_categories] that the categories should concern "[...]solely on subjects that are actual copies or clones of these characters such as Dark Bowser or Dreamy Mario." Luigi started out as a clone, albeit a named clone, but from a gameplay perspective, a clone for multiplayer. I'm reviewing what's currently in [[:Category:Mario lookalikes]]. He could be in a similar vein as [[Prince Mushroomkhamen]], where both are, for all intents and purposes, a kind of Mario, but were given names to distinguish themselves. Same goes for [[Giuseppe]], who isn't a cloned/copied Mario and doesn't even exactly look like Mario, just a resemblance to Jumpman. The proposal seems currently in effect, but if not I think you either remove some of these different characters that "happen" to look like Mario, limit them to just direct copies and clones such as Shadow Mario, Cosmic Mario, Metal Mario, and Dreamy Mario, or you include Luigi. It's otherwise not entirely clear to me why Giuseppe but not Luigi, but perhaps there's a good reason. {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:39, January 3, 2024 (EST)

::Someone thought my proposal was a joke, which hurt my feelings a bit. I do wish I had executed it better on the first post, since it was brainstorming aloud with digression and trying to make connections that weren't necessarily there. Now it's, as you said, "soliciting opinion" from others (including myself) as to the film's mainline status. The film was so successful, I thought it was reasonable and not a joke to assume it could be going into mainline of the ''Super Mario'' franchise. I wouldn't be opposed to if that had become the case, so that it can help ''Super Mario'' have more fans than just people who play video games, but I want to assure the proposal wasn't created as a joke.

:::You probably need to hash it out with Hewer that the question was a bit disrespectful. In my opinion, if you do think your ideas aren't very strong enough for a proposal, it might help to create a talk page discussion first on the appropriate page. {{User:Mario/sig}}
