| What is this list supposed to be showing? A character's first appearance based on the game, correct? So... why are there enemies like [[Tatanga]] listed, and certain characters, like [[Toad]], are misplaced. Are we listing enemies too? And are we listing based on the first ''playable'' appearance of the character?<br>Either the opening statement does not list enough information, or this page needs a serious overhaul. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:51, 11 March 2017 (EST) | | What is this list supposed to be showing?

| :I have been wondering about this page too. Is it even needed, since we already have a [[List of characters]] page? This page is pretty much the same, just in a different order. I also agree that the opening statement does not list enough information, as I recently had to revert some edits by someone who thought that enemy species needed to be listed too. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 13:56, 11 March 2017 (EST)

| :Well It's Definitely Not First Playable Appearance, Otherwise [[Peach]] Would Be Listed Under ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' And The ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Section Would Not Exist. I Recommend That {{tem|rewrite}} Be Put On This Page, Because It Looks Like This Page Needs One. <br> {{User:The Koopa Bro./sig}} 14:03, 11 March 2017 (EST)

| ==Move to "List of characters by media".==
| |
| So with [[List of locations]], it has a page similar to it called [[List of locations by media]], which is the same thing except it is categorized by media in order of release. This page is similar to that except it's for characters and it only lists games, not the TV shows, films, publications, albums and whatever else. Which is fine, but then there's [[List of enemies by game]] which actually makes sense because if something gets classified as an enemy, it needs to come from a game unless it's modern incarnation gets turned into one. So should this get the same treatment as [[List of locations by media]] and include other forms of media? Not just games?

| :This is an idea I've had before, but I think a better title would be "List of characters by first appearance", which I think is a bit more clear. I wouldn't mind renaming that location list to match. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 02:37, November 4, 2024 (EST)

| That actually makes a lot of sense! I was confused when I first went onto this wiki and I thought it was kind of strange they named it like that.

| ==Expanding and renaming==
| |
| {{TPP}}
| |
| Following on from the above section, I figured I should make this a proposal. This page is a list of characters by their first appearance, but for some reason, it only includes game characters, unlike the alphabetical [[list of characters]]. I can't really think of a reason to keep it like this, so I'm proposing we rename the page to "List of characters by first appearance" and expand the scope to cover non-game media as well.

| If this proposal passes, [[List of locations by media]], [[List of enemies by game]], [[List of moves by game]], and [[List of playable characters by game]] will also be renamed to "List of locations/enemies/moves/playable characters by first appearance" for consistency. However, the scope of these four pages will ''not'' change, as the location list already covers non-game media and the other three make sense to keep limited to games. The [[List of characters by game]] is the only page that will have more than just its name changed by this proposal.

| |
| #{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} The new name makes much more sense. If it says that characters are listed "by game", I'd expect Mario to show up hundreds of times.
| |
| #{{User|ViableBunnyBudd}} Per proposal.
| |
| #{{User|Rykitu}} I was the one who started this so per all.
| |
| #{{User|Nintendo101}} Seems like a fine idea.
