Talk:Nintendo Switch System Games Online Quiz

Question

I noticed only two of the seven questions on this quiz are of a Mario game but then there is a similar quiz which five of the six questions are of a mario game. do any of you think we can establish some sort of precedent on these pages to better focus on only the mario questions? like if there were three zelda questions but only two mario questions, one splatoon question, and one kirby question then such a page would be better suited to a zelda wiki

It feels pointless. If it has a Mario question, it's easier to just cover the quiz than to worry about the edge cases. Spectrogram (talk) 16:06, May 19, 2023 (EDT)

Play Nintendo's quizzes act as advertisements of sorts, sometimes for only one game, sometimes for multiple games at once. In the latter case, the predominance of a certain franchise in a quiz isn't a statement on the importance of that franchise compared to others that are also represented in the quiz. That is to say that just because a quiz has more Zelda questions than Mario questions, it doesn't make it a "Zelda" quiz any more than it is "Mario". In line with the wiki's current understanding of the Super Smash Bros. series, this means that it should be considered and covered as a whole. The amount of material in this quiz is small enough that it can be neatly presented on a single page (much like Smash subjects are) and it would feel weird not to have the entire quiz covered.
For the record, these thoughts have been partially reiterated from my response on Talk:Trophy Creator, which also concerns a Play Nintendo activity. (I no longer think the "other wikis" argument I used there holds water though). -- KOOPA CON CARNE 11:21, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

I think they can stay but give more attention to the mario-related stuff so that it pops out to the reader more noticeably. CoolNintendo (talk) 12:06, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

What exactly does this mean? Spectrogram (talk) 13:44, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

It means get rid of the graphics of the questions that are not from Mario games and possibly convert the ones not Mario to list form like the classic mode route on the History of Mario page. CoolNintendo (talk) 14:04, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

Feels pointless. Besides, Nintendo often deletes these quizes now, and we're the only ones making pages about them. It's not a big deal to just keep the images to showcase the whole quiz. Spectrogram (talk) 14:11, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

Shall I mark this discussion as closed then? CoolNintendo (talk) 14:15, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

I was going to note that I actually have noticed Nintendo delete the 3DS / Wii U quizes as of late. I took a look in the Wayback Machine yesterday and realized that Play Nintendo is archived there quite thoroughly CoolNintendo (talk) 14:24, May 21, 2023 (EDT)
