:I agree with this proposed policy: It is impossible by our current [[MarioWiki:Coverage|coverage policy]] to allow non-''Mario'' content in the articles, it would be nice to have our Featured Article system follow the rules. {{User:Super Paper Mario Bros./sig}} 09:26, 26 September 2009 (EDT) | :I agree with this proposed policy: It is impossible by our current [[MarioWiki:Coverage|coverage policy]] to allow non-''Mario'' content in the articles, it would be nice to have our Featured Article system follow the rules. {{User:Super Paper Mario Bros./sig}} 09:26, 26 September 2009 (EDT) | ||
I really don't understand what's wrong with the current rule preventing non-Mario articles from being featured. Looking at the article [[Ganon]] and being a ''Zelda'' fan, it just looks very incomplete to me, and I don't understand how it can be considered high quality enough to feature. It's adequate to understand the very minor way the character is related to Mario, but it's not an adequate amount of information for an FA, as it says virtually nothing about the character himself.

And looking at mario's wiener, I'm confused as to how a topic so tangentially related to Mario could ever be considered '''important''' enough to feature. It has to send a confusing message to guests when they come to the main page and get an infodump about a Mario-unrelated topic. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 04:56, 28 September 2009 (EDT) | ||
:D'oh, I somehow forgot about this discussion, sorry. Anyway: What is wrong with the current rule in my opinion is that since we're the Mario Wiki, nobody expects to read non-Mario content here. If people come here to read an article about, say, Kirby, they don't expect any information that has nothing to do with Mario. There are other sources of information then. See: Kirby's or Ganondorf's role in the Marioverse is bigger than some original Mario character's. It would be unfair to reject FA status for characters like Ganondorf when the only reason is that they originated from a different series. Articles should cover ''Mario'' content, that's our task. And any article that meets this requirement should get the chance to become featured. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 13:01, 2 October 2009 (EDT) | :D'oh, I somehow forgot about this discussion, sorry.

::Shoot, I forgot about it again >.< So, are there any objections left? Otherwise I'll amend the rule tomorrow (if I don't forget it again...) {{User:Time Q/sig}} 06:26, 7 October 2009 (EDT) | ::Shoot, I forgot about it again >.< So, are there any objections left?
