===Delete the articles for ''Galaxy'' and ''Galaxy 2'''s conjecturally-named "minigames"=== | |||
{{ProposalOutcome|passed|2-13-0|delete only [[Bubble Blowing]] and [[Star Ball Rolling]]}} | |||
We currently have articles on four "minigames" from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', namely [[ray surfing]], [[Bob-omb Blasting]], [[Bubble Blowing]], and [[Star Ball Rolling]], as well as two more from ''Galaxy 2'', [[Crate Burning]] and [[Fluzzard Gliding]]. However, out of all of these, only ray surfing is officially called that in-game. I slapped {{tem|ref needed}} templates on the other ''Galaxy'' "minigames'" articles, but I'm pretty sure they're outright conjecture. The ones from ''SMG2'', [[Crate Burning]] and [[Fluzzard Gliding]], actually have {{tem|conjecture}} templates. Even worse, "Star Ball Rolling" and "Bubble Blowing" aren't even minigames. The [[Star Ball]] and [[Bubble#Super Mario Galaxy|Bubble]] are just game mechanics that change how Mario or Luigi move through a level, and these "minigames" only exist in this wiki's imagination. The Star Ball Rolling article is completely redundant with the Star Ball article. ''Galaxy'''s bubbles don't have their own article, but even if they ''do'' deserve a separate article, the correct answer would be to simply split them off, not create an article for a nonexistent minigame. Which is why when I brought this up on [[Talk:Super_Mario_Galaxy#The_so-called_.22minigames.22|''Galaxy'''s talk page]] a couple months ago, my thoughts were that these two specifically were the ones that needed to be put down. After all, Bob-omb Blasting, Crate Burning, and Fluzzard Gliding are conjecturally-named too, but at least they're actual minigames, right? | |||
But now that I've thought about it, those don't deserve articles either. There exist plenty of nameless minigames, such as the [[Hoohoo Spirit]] collecting and [[Guffawha Ruins]] platform jumping games from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', numerous [[Bonus Area|bonus games]] from the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]], and several racing games from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', which don't have articles, and I can't think of any that do. In other words, there's no precedent for the existence of articles on nameless minigames. Stuff like "Bob-omb Blasting" and "Crate Burning" can simply be described in the articles for the missions that feature these "minigames", which is how stuff like this is handled for other games (like the Blooper surfing missions or [[Roller Coaster Balloons]] from ''Sunshine''), so why should ''Galaxy'' and ''Galaxy 2'' be any different? So let's solve this inconsistency. Here are our options: | |||
*'''Delete all of the conjecturally-named minigames''': If this option passes, [[Bob-omb Blasting]], [[Bubble Blowing]], [[Star Ball Rolling]], [[Crate Burning]], and [[Fluzzard Gliding]] all go, with only [[ray surfing]] surviving. Any relevant content these articles contain will be merged into other articles. | |||
*'''Delete Star Ball Rolling and Bubble Blowing only''': If you feel that the others should stay, let's at least get rid of the "minigames" that can't even be called that. | |||
*'''Do nothing''': Self-explanatory. Star Ball Rolling and Bubble Blowing continue their meaningless existence. | |||

====Delete all of the conjecturally-named minigames==== | |||
#{{User|7feetunder}} My preferred option. | |||
#{{User|Owencrazyboy9}} Second preferred choice. After all, we'd basically be the Department of Redundancy if the articles stick around, but I digress. Per 7feetunder. | |||
====Delete Star Ball Rolling and Bubble Blowing only==== | |||
#{{User|7feetunder}} Even if my preferred option doesn't win, these ''need'' to go. | |||
#{{User|YoshiFlutterJump}} Yeah, we really need to say bye-bye to these. Why ''do'' we have these articles anyway? But I don’t quite agree with deleting the others; they’re minigames, just like ray surfing, and as such need to stay. The other minigames just need a {{tem|conjecture}} template, not outright deletion, and we do need to give the nameless minigames from other games articles as well. | |||
#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} Per YoshiFlutterJump. | |||
#{{User|Baby Luigi}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Alex95}} - Per all. I always wondered why they were there, but I never bothered to do anything about it :P | |||
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Owencrazyboy9}} Preferred choice. Star Ball Rolling and Bubble Blowing aren't minigames; they're just fancy ways to traverse the galaxies. Per all. | |||
#{{user|Mario jc}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|LuigiMaster123}} Per all. | |||
#{{User|Camwood777}} - Wait, we classed these as ''minigames?'' I didn't even know we did that. While the others are certainly mini-games by some definition, these... Aren't. They need to go. | |||
#{{User|BBQ Turtle}} It's practically the same as riding Plessie, and that doesn't require a separate article, but I think the others should be classed as minigames, per all. | |||
#{{User|Mister Wu}} Those two surely aren't minigames, but rather mechanics used in a few galaxies. | |||
#{{User|Ro money}} Per all. | |||
====Do nothing==== | |||

Create a template for FA archivescreate template 6-0 Let me know in the comments if there are any issues or possible fixes you have in mind with the templates. Proposer: Toadette the Achiever (talk) Support
OpposeComments@YoshiFlutterJump: This was Baby Luigi's intended layout, and I don't see how structuring it the way you suggested is entirely possible anyways. (T|C) 20:15, 11 February 2018 (EST) I suggest putting a few rows as example next time so we can see how the template looks when used properly.--Mister Wu (talk) 19:49, 16 February 2018 (EST) Add a small link to MarioWiki:Appeals in the reminder/warning/last warning templatesadd link 13-0 Here's an example of what I want these to look like
Any changes to wording or comments, please note. Proposer: Baby Luigi (talk) Support
OpposeCommentsRegarding a rule in MarioWiki: Appeals, (1#: Reminders and/or Warnings given by an administrator cannot be appealed.), I had challenged it on Discord and I want to see that rule removed, hence why I haven't added an extra line saying that "Keep in mind that X given out by a member of staff cannot be appealed). But I don't know what the staff's official final say on that rule is, so I will edit that line accordingly once I get official confirmation. Ray Trace(T|C) 22:17, 11 February 2018 (EST)
For reference, here’s what the old userspace reminder said:
