Question
It's ok in events that we have more than on FA put onto FA status at the same time, instead of choosing one and shunning the other for a week, that we use the choose extension so all get the limelight? 02:52, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
- They are all FAs. One is just spotlighted every week. Just beacause K. Rool is on the main page does not mean Goomba and Yoshi are not FAs. They are listed on the FA page and in the FA category. They are all FAs. -- Son of Suns
Recently Template
Do we need this? There isn't much news normally to warrant a whole section, the sitenotice usually does fine. 05:10, 15 September 2007 (EDT)

Smash Bros. Article separations
i have noticed the Smash Bros. Info in articles such as Mario, Yoshi, and Wario are very crammed in there along with their trophy info. I was wondering if we could mabey do separate pages for SSB Mario character info. Like call for example this article title: "Wario (SSB)" , which would be strictly Super Smash Bros. related to Wario. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 22:00, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

The information does not have to be smashed (forgive me) together. We have sections for stats and in-game information in these articles - trophy info can be moved to this stats section, instead of being in the Super Smash Bros. section. That is perfectly acceptable. -- Son of Suns

Rating Images
I was thinking of a more effective way to list the ratings of a game on the game articles, and I was thinking. Should we use the official Rating Images used on so many boxarts? You know, such as the green box with "G" in it, and the yellow box with "PG" in it. My Bloody Valentine
- Don't we already do that? We use the official "E", "T" and "M" ratings. We can add more official ratings for other regions though. -- Son of Suns
- Whoops! I meant just "M" (and have changed it). Although no Mario game has a "M"ature rating, it is another rating example. -- Son of Suns
- We don't need to use the images - just the words and letters so we can save space and list multiple ratings. -- Son of Suns
- As I recall, we used the rating images in the first place because we thought it would look cool to have them in the info boxes. And, honestly, it did. --
