How come we don't have the Game Boy Color. -Nerdy Guy

The Gameboy Color Is a seperat system. It already has a link, but it doesent need a section. Conconcon5 16:11, 1 January 2012 (EST)

The Game Boy Pocket and the Game Boy Light are successors of the original Game Boy itself, so I wonder why both consoles are merged as sections in the Game Boy article itself. They're separate systems, just like the Game Boy Color. I think these sections should get separated and become articles.

1. Danimario9 (talk) - I think they're better as articles and not as sections.

Oppose

1. Raven Effect (talk) If this were a Nintendo Wiki i would say yes but this isn't a Nintendo Wiki it's a Mario Wiki and no Mario games are exclusive to one console so it makes no sense to split.
2. Walkazo (talk) - The established Super Mario Wiki convention is to give different generations of different pages, but leave within-generation variations of the consoles/handhelds grouped together. Splitting this but leaving the GBA, DS and even the SNES/Famcom/Famicom Jr./PAL-design SNES would be inconsistent, and splitting them all would just result in a bunch of short, unnecessary articles. It's much more efficient to keep the families together.

The deadline was wrong: TPPs run for two weeks, not one. - Walkazo 16:10, 12 February 2012 (EST)

Didn't knew. --Danimario9 (Talk) 16:12, 12 February 2012 (EST)

By the way, the Game Boy Color has its proper article, but the Game Boy Pocket and the Game Boy Light do not. They should have proper articles, too. --Danimario9 (Talk) 16:14, 12 February 2012 (EST)

The Game Boy Color has an article because it can play games that the Game Boy can't and if i'm not mistaken the GBC the GBP and the GBL all play the same games Raven Effect (talk)

GBP and GBL are successors of the GB so they should have proper articles. Isn't it strange the GB's successor in its page automatically skips to GBC? --Danimario9 (Talk) 16:17, 12 February 2012 (EST)

Look all i'm saying is that we only make seperate articles for systems that play different mario games like how we don't have a article on the Nintendo DS light but we have one on the DSI because the DSI has different Mario games than the DS. It's about it's importance to the Mario series and if they play the same games they should stay on the same page Raven Effect (talk)

If that is it, then… --Danimario9 (Talk) 16:22, 12 February 2012 (EST)

Yes that is the standard of the Wiki so while you are right they are seperate systems you are wrong because they have the same importance in the Mario series since they play the same Mario games. However if the GBP or the GBL were to appear in a Mario Publication than i would agree to spliting Raven Effect (talk)

If I am correct, in the German comic Rummelplatzquatsch the Game Boy with the Camera is a Game Boy Pocket. --Danimario9 (Talk) 16:38, 12 February 2012 (EST)

Doesn't matter: there have been things modeled after the DS Lite in games yet it's still part of the regular DS article. - Walkazo 16:42, 12 February 2012 (EST)

Also according to the wiki article on the Camera it's a game boy color Raven Effect (talk)
