The recent Merchanidse articles by 3dejong need some major work. One sentence descriptions just don't cut it. We need to know the name of the companies producing these products, when they were released, where they were released and other notes. A lot of the merchandise seems like something a normal person could make out of clay. We need to know the official manufacturers. Without them, the merchandise has the same valididty here as fan games (i.e. none). -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]] | The recent Merchanidse articles by 3dejong need some major work.

::If we can't find enough information for each toy to constitute a page, maybe we should create only a few pages for each category of merchandise (ex: a '''Mario Toys''' page, a '''Mario Plushies''' page, a '''Mario Figurines''' page, etc) and add some info about the category of merchandise on the top, and have the rest be a [[Help:Gallery|gallery]] of all the images we have. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 15:26, 14 October 2006 (EDT) '''EDIT:''' Oh my, I just noticed Wayoshi sorta did that with the Yoshi plushies.

:::That's a good idea. We should try to combine similar merchandise. We also need to figure out if the merchandise is legitimate or not.

:::OK, on the Toad plush I just added, I put the date in. However, there just isn't much you can say about a Toad doll, so I'm thinking that, like Steve said, we should just have one article, like '''Plushies''', and have a large gallery of all the items, like with the Yoshi plushes. Should I go ahead and upload all the rest of the artices, or should we make a gallery? [[User: 3dejong|3dejong]] | :::OK, on the Toad plush I just added, I put the date in.

It has come to my attention that many of the 63 "dead-end" articles (articles that have no internal links besides categories to another page on the wiki, creating a 'dead-end') are merchandise pages. This is another issue that needs to be resolved. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#063;"><font size="5">'''{{color-link | It has come to my attention that many of the 63 "dead-end" articles (articles that have no internal links besides categories to another page on the wiki, creating a 'dead-end') are merchandise pages.

Although it would be cluttered and messy, we can separate it into sections, and that would be much better than so many short illegimate articles. As stated before, our goal is not to have many short articles but to have expansive articles. We already have a few gallery articles but this is what we'll have to create. It will be set up like this: | ||
