Oh, this rule. The rule that's caused the loss of so much information. Why don't the birds in front of Peach's Castle get an article or even a mention under a greater article but [[Delfino Oak Tree|a tree with a name originating from a tie-in toy]] does? The former can be interacted with, as in they fly away in a panic when they're approached, but nope! They have no "gameplay purpose," which somehow matters more than definitively existing, and they have no official name. But I digress. My main problem with this rule is that it tends to be arbitrarily executed and is completely open to interpretation, something we really should avoid on a wiki. [[Cow]], [[Bird]], [[Frog]], [[Butterfly]]....yes, they're all generic subjects, but so are [[coin]]s when you get right down to it, as they've had different purposes and appearances throughout the different franchises, as have [[Banana]]s and [[Mushroom]]s, and they haven't really been scrutinized like this. Hence "arbitrary." This rule is simply obstructive and annoying. | Oh, this rule. The rule that's caused the loss of so much information.
