I was wondering if we could do with a television show template and a film/anime template? The former would apply to many pages (Supercade, the DiC cartoons) and the later would apply to at the American film and the four Japanese animes. Would anyone else find them useful? And, more importantly, would anyone be willing and able to made them? {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 17:08, 10 February 2009 (EST) | I was wondering if we could do with a television show template and a film/anime template?

Those look a bit ''too'' detailed. Most readers probably don't care about a lot of the finicky things, like the number of cameras or the music composer. Take the general {{tem|infobox}} we use for games, it only has eleven headers (not including the Image stuff): | Those look a bit ''too'' detailed.

I noticed that users sometimes add names under "Foreign Names" that are ''exactly'' the same as the English one. For example, in Bowser's article [[Bowser#Foreign Names|we learn]] that Bowser is also known as Bowser in German. Going by that, every "western" language could be added where Bowser is named Bowser.

:Right now, I would wait to break up the big series articles until they are relatively complete (which they are not close to). But perhaps in the future it would be a good idea to take those larger sections and break them away from the main series article. Also, I would consider the couple future titles to be at least "mainstream cameo" appearances of the series as covered by [[MarioWiki: Canonicity]] and thus important for the articles. Especially since Rare has worked with Nintendo on developing the series further past its acquisition by Microsoft, it would be sensible to include non-Nintendo games for the sake of coherency. While the Microsoft content is not protected by the Coverage policy, I would say its significant enough for inclusion in the wiki. Walkazo said it best during the proposal discussion...something about a fish... basically, she said Banjo and Conker, in the end, still originated with Rare, and thus it makes sense to continue covering the series, ultimately allowing users to choose to read what they think is "true" for them. -- {{User|Son of Suns}} | :Right now, I would wait to break up the big series articles until they are relatively complete (which they are not close to).

For the second issue, I also agree with SoS in that we should wait before separating the list of characters/places/items/etc. from the ''Banjo'' and ''Conker'' series articles. However, I don't think those articles should then be dedicated to ''just'' the games: they should be structured like the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] article, with the major characters/places/items lists still included with the games (i.e. [[Conker]] and Berri would stay, whereas Heinrich wouldn't). For the third issue, I still stand by what I said during the proposal (including my "It's still Rare's fish" metaphor, which, if anything, proves I watch too much ''House''...), and again, SoS summed it up quite nicely, so I'll leave it at that. The only other thing I have to add is that maybe we should consider adding seperate articles for the games themselves; they're significant additions to the ''Mario'' "superseries" and a dozen or so pages reflecting this fact won't open the floodgates to articles about every single character/item/place/etc. within those games - those aspects are a different kettle of fish all together. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:41, 13 March 2009 (EDT) | ||

Well I tried merging all of the Luigi's Mansion articles (see previous proposal). I've started but I really see a big problem happening. The page itself is Outragously long and with it appearing in 4+ games, there is a lot of pictures, cateogries, templates and trivia. I'm not sure if it can be done. And there are headdings, then sub headings, then sub-sub headings and even deeper ones than that. I know we've had major discussions over this subject before but I just think that this really needs to be looked at again. | Well I tried merging all of the Luigi's Mansion articles (see previous proposal).

== Before he gets me here too... == | |||
Stooben has convinced himself that some troll(Maria?)'s word is incredibly trustworthy, and this troll told Stooben that s/he was ME. He's gone on a rampage banning me... he's already got me on his forum(Xephyr), the MarioWiki chat, and Userpedia. I know I have a terrible reputation here, but '''I AM NOT THE PERSON HE THINKS I AM'''. Before he said this he said that I said something sexual on the #mariowiki chat, but would not give any evidence... He gave me a 30 day ban for something I don't remember, and if it did happen it was probably one tiny line or something. Could someone help me out here? I will gladly take a short ban if it turns out I did anything ban worthy, but he's banning me all over using these terrible excuses and not citing any evidence.<br>BTW, if this comes out wrong, I apologize, this window is glitching up... But seriously, Stooben refuses to actually talk to me about these bans, could someone else talk to him for me or something? | |||
{{User:Uniju :D/sig}} | |||
I believe that Stooben has gone off his rocker. He can't ban you without any evidence. It just isn't plain right. I don't believe that you are Maria. I'll back you up 100% on that one. {{User:McCloud/sig}} | |||
I'll back you up, Uni. There's no way you're Maria. Stooby was just being stupid, and abusing his powers. I support you 100%. {{User:Master Lucario/sig}} | |||

Everything is back to normal. But we definitely need to keep an eye out on this troll.
