I think the wiki is way too lenient on giving out the status of a "sub-species" to almost everything. Sure, a [[Paragoomba]] is a sub-species of [[Goomba]], because it has evolved wings. But why should a [[Sad Dry Bones]] be a sub-species of a [[Dry Bones]]? They are exactly the same, simply in a different mood. Also, concerning ''Super Mario RPG'' enemies, [[Gorgon]] is considered a sub-species of [[Enigma]]. Why? Because the Enigma is the first to appear in the game? They are similar, without doubt, but that doesn't qualifiy for being sub-species of each other. On terms of [[wikipedia:Subspecies|Subspecies]], all have to be treated equally as well. So "regular Goomba without anything" is itself a subspecies of "Goomba".<br> | I think the wiki is way too lenient on giving out the status of a "sub-species" to almost everything.

I don't think the whole concept of sub-species really fits into Mario games. Paragoombas lose their wings when jumped upon. That doesn't change them in any zoological way. The term "species" shouldn't be used in that case at all.

I pulled that from | I pulled that from {{fake link|this article}} before I changed it. Note how it says "they" after "player". This is not correct; it should be "he or she" (which is what I changed it to). Now, this isn't a problem strictly on this site – I've found it everywhere. "Player" is singular, while "they" is plural; these to words don't grammatically compliment each other. "Player" - "he/she; him/her" (depending on the context) – "players" - "they; them" (depending on the context). I know this probably seems like a small issue, but I wanted to point out the correct way to write it; after all – we want the most professional writing we can get. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 12:33, 13 May 2008 (EDT) | ||

We at the MarioWiki are guilty of neglecting many of these rules. I think we need a general reconception of how to handle our navigation templates. | We at the MarioWiki are guilty of neglecting many of these rules. I think we need a general reconception of how to handle our navigation templates. | ||
#Templates like {{tem|Yoshi}}, {{tem|SSB}} and {{ | #Templates like {{tem|Yoshi}}, {{tem|SSB}} and <nowiki>{{SMRPG_Enemy}}</nowiki> contradict the first of Wikipedia's points. They immsenly cram links into one template which are more or less not related to the current article. A SSB character template should, for example, only linking from playable character to other playable characters. [[Primid]] or [[Hammer Bro.]] are not related to playable characters enough to warrant a link in a related template. The same goes for the Yoshi enemies and the SMRPG enemies. The Yoshi enemy template could be split apart into sections for each game, or each enemy class if that gives enough links. | ||
#Templates like {{tem| | #Templates like {{tem|MK race courses}} and {{tem|MP}} are immensly huge. They violate the second rule: they could easily be split up into one template for each game, and thus be much easier to handle, read, and you could actually find what you are looking for. Smaller racecourses templates could be arranged in columns for the cups, and list the retro tracks of Mario Kart DS and Wii as well. | ||
#Templates like {{tem|Human}}, {{ | #Templates like {{tem|Human}}, {{fake link|Royalty}}, {{fake link|Magic}} and {{fake link|Undead}} give you an immense list of links you probably don't care about. They don't even provide links of articles you would want to check if you are already reading one with this template. [[Mario]] can do magic, but only for fireballs and similar things. He is not, like [[Kamek]] or [[Zelda]], someone who dominantly uses magic and thus can be called a magician. Mario isn't worth of being on the Magicians template. These templates only give you a list of very vaguely related stuff. This is not what navigation templates are for - we have categories for that, guys! | ||
#{{ | #{{fake link|8-Bit Club}} is way too small. Even more so, it completely overlaps with {{tem|Shy Guys}}. It doesn't do anything to help you finding an additional, related article. | ||
#{{ | #<nowiki>{{SMK}}, {{MKDD}} and {{Mario Kart Wii Playable Characters}}</nowiki> overlap heavily. They all contain Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Koopa Troopa and Yoshi, and two of them contain Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Wario, Waluigi, Daisy, Toadette, King Boo, Birdo, and some I forgot. They take up space but don't really provide any additional information for someone viewing Mario's page. They could simply be categories as well. | ||
We should work out a new style for templates and categories, to prevent having navigation sections like of the main characters, which are simply there but hopeless to navigate in or find anything that might else be of interest for you. {{tem|SMSS}} doesn't really need to link to Mario (!), for example. Thus, we could remove it from his page. In the end, those templates would turn out usable. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 19:09, 17 May 2008 (EDT) | We should work out a new style for templates and categories, to prevent having navigation sections like of the main characters, which are simply there but hopeless to navigate in or find anything that might else be of interest for you. {{tem|SMSS}} doesn't really need to link to Mario (!), for example.

I was wondering, for those of you who saw the ''[[Super Mario Bros.

I am aware that the term Alternate Dimension, even though it is the most official since [[Toad]] uses it in the movie, is not specific to the movie: it also appears within the Wario series and there is of course the fact that [[Smithy]] comes from an alternate dimension.

It appears that more than one quote template is used in the [[Pit]] article, resulting in an error Wayoshi had mentioned. Only one is allowed. However, if there's more than one quote, have the {{[[Template:quote2|quote2]]}} and slot it in. {{User:RAP/sig}} | |||
:If I recall, I've used that template on a couple final smash articles to show what Sakurai's thoughts on them were, and they showed up on the main page, too. Does that mean anything? {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 13:33, 20 June 2008 (EDT) | |||
Well, having one than one {{[[Template:Quote|quote]]}} templates results in an automatic combination due to the DPL picking up everything that detects the quote in an article and shows it in the main page (or more precisely the template that shows it). {{User:RAP/sig}} [[Special:Contributions/RAP|I better move this talk page to an archive...]] | |||

Hey, isn't my Proposal the latest one? If it says Latest Proposal, it should be the actual one, which is mine. Not that there was anything wrong with the currently showing one... | |||
