Revision as of 16:53, December 2, 2008
Should Dragon Wario be included in the Dragon Category and Template? - Walkazo
- No, because it's a form of Wario, not an actual dragonn
Goomb-omb
- Id like to counter that. The Ice Template has Ice Mario and Ice Luigi in it. Why can't the Dragon template have Dragon Wario then? uper-Yoshi
- Id like to counter that. The Ice Template has Ice Mario and Ice Luigi in it. Why can't the Dragon template have Dragon Wario then? uper-Yoshi
- No, because it's a form of Wario, not an actual dragonn
Fire Creatures
Wario isn't really a creature, so could I remove him from this template?

- No, the Fire Template shows everything that is associated with fire, including Wario. As for "creature", my dictionary's definition is "anything created, especially a living being" which means Wario is a creature. We went with the name "creature" because of this universality: it covers characters (i.e. Wario), species (animals and plants) and things that are neither (like ghosts, and half the things on the template). - Walkazo 22:24, 1 December 2008 (EST)
- The fire template seems pretty pointless. Does anyone actually use it to navigate through "fire" articles? Is it even helpful? -- Son of Suns (talk)
- No not really. Many fire creatures have appeared in the Mario series, and it would also make some templates like the Ice and Dragon templates kinda awkward if we consider that. Think about it..."Does anyone need to navigate through Dragon articles?" IMO, the more templates an article has, the better it is. uper-Yoshi
- No not really. Many fire creatures have appeared in the Mario series, and it would also make some templates like the Ice and Dragon templates kinda awkward if we consider that. Think about it..."Does anyone need to navigate through Dragon articles?" IMO, the more templates an article has, the better it is. uper-Yoshi
- But a category does exactly the same thing, and in an orderly way (not scrunched links all crammed into a little box). I disagree with you Super-Yoshi - I think templates need to be extremely functional, or else they are pointless. More templates does not make an article better. Too many can make it worse. This wiki over-creates templates. Not every category needs a template - the category does it's job just fine. Along with this fire one, we should also probably consider getting rid of the Ice and Dragon ones as well. -- Son of Suns (talk)
- Get rid of the elementals if you must, but I ask that we leave the Dragons. They're a valid group of animals, like the Shy Guys, Goombas and Koopas. Also, I didn't know if it's just me, but I find browzing via. templates much more appealing than staring at category lists. Templates make articles feel a bit more connected, IMO. But then again, I'm weird... - Walkazo 22:46, 1 December 2008 (EST)
