I personally don't see any point in having a Mario Wiki page about the MS-DOS, and as was mentioned in the Discord earlier, it validates articles such as a Windows article to be created.

:It's better as just a simple category. The current article is awfully detailed and off-topic. It seems like we ''don't'' have a category for this yet. Also, categorizing this as a Video Game system and putting it in the "Video Game Consoles and Add-ons" navigational template seems to be a bit of a stretch. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 15:26, 30 July 2018 (EDT) | :It's better as just a simple category.

Essentially, the Games section would become: "List of Mario games released for the MS-DOS". | Essentially, the Games section would become: "List of Mario games released for the MS-DOS". Similarly, the Wiki could hold categories for Mario games released on Windows, etc. | ||

#{{User|rollerC}} As discussed before in both the Discord and the above talk section, this article is incredibly off-topic to the subject of Mario, and the only relevant information is the list of Mario games released for the MS-DOS. {{User|Bazooka Mario}} makes a good point that the information in the article would be ''much'' better served in a category page, rather than include the unnecessary clutter that is the information on the MS-DOS, which most users visiting the website are probably not looking for anyway. | #{{User|rollerC}} As discussed before in both the Discord and the above talk section, this article is incredibly off-topic to the subject of Mario, and the only relevant information is the list of Mario games released for the MS-DOS. {{User|Bazooka Mario}} makes a good point that the information in the article would be ''much'' better served in a category page, rather than include the unnecessary clutter that is the information on the MS-DOS, which most users visiting the website are probably not looking for anyway. | ||

After this proposal is complete, I'll remove the unresolved conflict box.

In response to Doc, I'm not necessarily proposing that a Windows category should be created when an MS-DOS category is, however since a Windows article is valid ''because of this article'' as Glowsquid said in the Discord, I'd much prefer these articles become categories to nix that issue entirely, and if another editor decides a Windows category should be created because of the MS-DOS category (which I'm not saying I would necessarily agree with), I would much prefer that to a Windows ''article'' being created because an editor like pwwnd (I know, bad example) thinks the MS-DOS article warrants its creation | In response to Doc, I'm not necessarily proposing that a Windows category should be created when an MS-DOS category is, however since a Windows article is valid ''because of this article'' as Glowsquid said in the Discord, I'd much prefer these articles become categories to nix that issue entirely, and if another editor decides a Windows category should be created because of the MS-DOS category (which I'm not saying I would necessarily agree with), I would much prefer that to a Windows ''article'' being created because an editor like pwwnd (I know, bad example) thinks the MS-DOS article warrants its creation. While I think it is important that the games on MS-DOS were later ported to actual Nintendo consoles, ''I don't believe that is relevant to the general information about the MS-DOS on this article''.
