==Mention unofficial level names in articles to help minimise confusion==

{{ProposalOutcome|failed|1-7|DO NOT MENTION UNOFFICIAL NAMES}}


While I accept that these names are unofficial, they are used in many places on the Web and off. A lot of people know the levels by these names, and they might come here looking for more information. To help minimise confusion, I think it would be sensible to include these names in the relevant articles, with a note stating that the names are unofficial but widely used. While I know that unofficial information is not usually allowed on this wiki, this is a special case because of the sheer amount of places that use these names.

== Singular/Plural ==
The name of the page was ''Super Mario Advance 4 3 e-Cards'', and I moved it to ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Cards''. But now I wonder: should we move the page to ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Card''? The [[Goomba]] article's title is singular, but the [[List of characters|Characters]] article's title is plural. {{User:Banon/sig}} 10:24, 10 April 2013 (EDT)
:I believe "Characters" is plural because the article itself is a list of characters. This article is a list of E-Cards, so I think "E-cards" is more fitting than "E-card".

== Dead Links ==
So uh, the links on each card's page linking to an image of the card on some Japanese website all appear to be dead. Anybody have any idea how long this has been like this? More importantly, did anybody think to save those images in case something like this happened? [[User:Vent|Vent]] ([[User talk:Vent|talk]]) 07:28, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
== Mad Dash level ==
Where is "Mad Dash"?--[[User:Nate-Dawg921|Nate-Dawg921]] ([[User talk:Nate-Dawg921|talk]]) 15:13, 12 November 2018 (EST)
== Missing Card ==
In the article, there are 2 PR level cards. However, in the Wii U version of the game, there are 3 PR levels. Where's the missing level? {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 15:14, January 05, 2023 (CST)
== Level listing and level IDs ==
Each level has an ID, which can be a number from 01 to 73! The Star levels use IDs 01-05, Mushroom levels use IDs 11-40, and the three promo levels use IDs 51-53! The highest valid ID that can be saved on the list is 72, with the 73rd being strictly temporary! Any level that has been assigned 73 (no level officially released uses this ID) cannot be saved, nor will e-coin, Ace coin, Mario & Luigi clear data be saved with the 4 symbols being displayed as dashes! It is displayed as a single level with a new page at the end of the level list (thus, up to a possible 10 pages), and is removed from the list completely when a new level card is scanned! Anytime a level that shares an identical level ID is scanned, the old entry is replaced with the new one, and is not given a new entry! --[[User:Tiger21820|Tiger21820]] ([[User talk:Tiger21820|talk]]) 11:16, January 30, 2023 (EST)
== A few things. ==
1. Tiger21820, I'm confused on what this is supposed to mean. 2. I never heard anything about ROMS & emulators being illegal. How are people supposed to play games that they don't have on consoles they don't have? 3. My question hasn't been answered. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 12:35, February 1, 2023 (CST)
== Convert to table format ==
This article is very difficult to look at. Perhaps reorganizing it as as three tables will make it easier to follow. One question is whether they should be organized with the focus around the Japanese cards, which are complete, or the American cards, because of English source priority. Here are the three examples for headers:
*'''Option 1''': Card ID number, Japanese image, American image ("N/A" if non-existant), Description (English title first unless N/A, English flavor text unless N/A, Japanese title second, Japanese flavor text), Notes
*'''Option 2''': Card ID number, Japanese image, American image ("N/A" if non-existant), Description (Japanese title first, Japanese flavor text, English title unless N/A, English flavor text unless N/A), Notes
*'''Option 3''': Card ID number, American image ("N/A" if non-existant), Japanese image, Description (English title first unless N/A, English flavor text unless N/A, Japanese title second, Japanese flavor text), Notes
Which do you think is the most practical?--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 11:13, February 8, 2023 (EST)
