I was going to make this a Writing Guideline, but I figured I'd get some approval via proposal before I created my draft. A new trend on the wiki is to create articles on generic objects, like [[Tennis Ball]], [[Basketball Hoop]], and [[Cage]]. The main problem with this is where does it stop? Allowing these articles could be precedent for a number of useless generic articles being created, such as {{Fakelink|Mud}}, {{Fakelink|Tree}}, {{Fakelink|Soccer Field}}, etc.. MarioWiki is also not a dictionary. We don't need articles on real world objects. I believe we should set a restriction for which of these generic articles can and can't be created. We should only allow articles on generic subjects that '''have a function which is different from the real world counterpart'''.  
As you can see, many articles such as (''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Smash Football]]'', ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'') and many more game articles are using other country's boxart and naming them as in that country such as ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'' even though in America we call it (''Mario Strikers Charged'') '''No Football''' I understand that the first English country goes first but I think we should make it the American verison instead and am not saying that we take off all the information from another country but just to change the name of the game by the American verison and change the boxart of the game to the American verison only not much more if possible. {{proposal-link|Using Another Country's Boxart}}

Using Another Country's Boxart

As you can see, many articles such as (New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Smash Football, Mario Strikers Charged Football) and many more game articles are using other country's boxart and naming them as in that country such as Mario Strikers Charged Football even though in America we call it (Mario Strikers Charged) No Football I understand that the first English country goes first but I think we should make it the American verison instead and am not saying that we take off all the information from another country but just to change the name of the game by the American verison and change the boxart of the game to the American verison only not much more if possible. (more...)
