Editing Talk:Mario Toy Company

== Disambiguation ==

The world called "Mario Toy Company" in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' may need to disambiguated from the ''company'' called Mario Toy Company; based on this page's description and categorization, it appears to be conflating the two.

:Late, but I don't see a need for a split. The levels in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' take place in or around the company, so it makes sense to me to keep everything in one spot. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:23, 10 May 2018 (EDT)
::But [[Gangplank Galleon (world)]] and [[Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!]], which take place in or around the ship, are split from [[Gangplank Galleon]], which is their location. This is the same case for Mario Toy Company, since the world appears in only one game, whereas the company is (at least referentially) present in two games, MvDK and MvDK2. The world and the company are definitely two separate entities-- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 14:57, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

== Splitting the world and the location ==
As per discussion above, I'm currently drafting an [[User:CyonOfGaia/Sandbox/Mario_Toy_Company|article]] for the Mario Toy Company in general, to split its information off from information about the first world in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. If anyone could proofread it and help me finalize it, I could start splitting these articles off. As a side note, I found more small mentions about the company in instruction manuals and external material for ''Mini-Land Mayhem'' and in ''Minis on the Move'', so I figured that'd help suffice enough information for the split article itself. Thoughts? --[[User:CyonOfGaia|CyonOfGaia]] ([[User talk:CyonOfGaia|talk]]) 10:42, January 15, 2025 (EST)
:Alright, I've made the final changes to the draft. Please feel free to check it out and share your thoughts. I feel with this enough length, it's enough to split off the unnecessary info from information about the actual world itself. --[[User:CyonOfGaia|CyonOfGaia]] ([[User talk:CyonOfGaia|talk]]) 21:23, January 18, 2025 (EST)

== Split Mario Toy Company general information into new article ==
{{TPP}}
This is something I've been meaning to address for a while now to follow up on previous discussions in this article's talkpage. As you might have noticed, Mario Toy Company's general information (such as its involvement in theme parks) is currently in the same article where information about its relevant world in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and its [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] are put up, as well as redundant information like info about Donkey Kong's boss fight there that's already discussed in [[Level 1-DK]], which is linked here.

Originally, I proposed this with a split template, but I felt this only is suitable for splitting articles that are too large. I ended up making a talk page proposal instead to accommodate this idea, as per standard with other split page TPPs going on. Anyways, I've been working on a [[User:CyonOfGaia/Sandbox/Mario_Toy_Company|draft]] to collect most general information about the Mario Toy Company and split it off from information about the MvsDK world itself. As I've noticed, the article draft I made has sufficient information to warrant a split from the Mario Toy Company article, so this is one of my main motives for starting this TPP.

This proposal is simple enough, so there are two options:
*'''Split general information into new article''': If this split is successful, the draft will become the new Mario Toy Company article, while information about the world itself in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' will be put into a new article called {{fake link|Mario Toy Company (world)}}, which will now be formatted closer to the rest of the articles about the game's worlds.
*'''Do not split''': As per what it says - don't split general info from the Mario Toy Company into a new article.

====Support: Split general information into new article====
#{{User|CyonOfGaia}} Per proposal.
#{{User|PopitTart}} I find it heinous that the opening paragraph and infobox of Mario Toy Company are describing two entirely distinct things. Split away!
#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Makes sense to us. Two separate concepts, one the in-universe company and one the world of a video game? Split 'em up. Per proposal.
#{{User|Rykitu}} Per all.

====Oppose: Do not split====

====Comments (Split Mario Toy Company general information)====
Just wondering, why would this be split and not, say, [[Mario Toy Factory]]? {{User:Mario/sig}} 22:44, January 18, 2025 (EST)
:Is "Mario Toy Factory" used to refer to things beyond the world? The reason for this proposal as I see it is that "Mario Toy Company" refers to two very distinct things: a set of 8 levels in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', and an in-fiction corporation that is present in several MvDK games.--[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 23:04, January 18, 2025 (EST)
