Generic article?

Since a proposal was just passed to move List of Toad Town News in Paper Mario to Toad Town News (and turn it into a generic article), does it follow that we should do the same for this page too? --Dine2017 (talk) 22:26, June 25, 2024 (EDT)

I think I could go either way on this one; I was modeling it after articles like List of Huey's advice, but there are ones like Hint Envelope that include everything. Scrooge200 (talk) 23:39, June 25, 2024 (EDT)

"Partner Hint" is a proper noun, so readers might search it to find out which button activates it, how it differs from Merluvlee's predictions, etc. If we provide such information by creating an article "Partner Hint", then this page is likely to be merged to it, which is the same as turning this page into a generic article. Alternatively, we could redirect "Partner Hint" to a section of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) which describes Partner Hints and links to this page with {{main}}. --Dine2017 (talk) 02:34, July 1, 2024 (EDT)

With how long the remake's page is, we definitely shouldn't merge this into it. There's also not much info to be added to a potential Partner Hints article imo, and keeping it as a list makes it consistent with Huey's advice and with how Merluvee's predictions have their own list pages now. As for the bulletin board messages, there are much fewer of those, so it makes sense for them to be in a non-list article, and Hint Envelope requires an item infobox.
