Revision as of 18:51, July 30, 2018

Is this page worth keeping?

Question.svg This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

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. rollerC (talk) 01:45, 30 July 2018 (EDT)

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.

Agreed. I do like the idea of having it as a category instead. rollerC (talk) 17:54, 30 July 2018 (EDT)

Article to category proposal

Proposal.svg This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: Monday, November 25, 2024, 05:22 GMT

Turn this article into a category

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.

Proposer: rollerC (talk)
Deadline: August 13, 2018, 23:59 GMT

Support

  1. rollerC (talk) 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. Bazooka Mario (talk) 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.

Oppose

  1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) The fact that games on this system were later ported or remade to actual Nintendo consoles, unlike with Windows, I find to warrant its keeping.
