What

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

What is this category for? It sounds like it's for actual artifacts (e.g. the Volcano Vase), but includes things like Super Mushrooms and Wings. The description claims it's for "special items" with "mystical properties", which isn't really clarifying anything. Since the description says this is for things like Shine Sprites, it sounds like it's supposed to be for "legendary object"-type things, but most of this category doesn't fit that at all.

I can almost understand the use of the word "artifacts" as an object found in RPG games with a special use, but even that is too vague to justify why things like a Ground-Pound Switch can make it to this category. RPG games are able to use a more specific category to keep together such artefacts, for example Category:Super Paper Mario Special Items. My opinion is to delete this category, and use other, more specific categories for any "artefacts"

What is this category for, exactly? The name would imply it's for items like the Volcano Vase, while the description claims it's for "special items that have mystical properties", which is just about the most vague description possible. Judging by the name and the description referencing Shine Sprites, this sounds like it's for "legendary item"-type things, but most of this category doesn't fit that whatsoever. In reality, this is mostly used for:

• Things that should be in Category:Items
• Things that should be in Category:Objects
• Things that should be in Category:Power-Ups
• Things that should be in Category:RPG Items - Special
• The Game Boy Camera, for some reason

I'm thinking this should either be deleted, or limited to things specifically stated to be artifacts (e.g. the Ancient Globe or Artifact).
