Talk:Ruin

Ruins, ruins everwhere! (delete)

As a fantasy franchise, there are a lot of ruins in Mario & Friends. There's the Ruins, the Ruined Kingdom, the Desert Ruin, the Desert Ruins, the Chomp Ruins, the Thwomp Ruins, and a great many things using "Ruin" as an adjective in a way people might not search for. I don't think this minor object should be keeping people from reaching the search bar for the many more likely topics, especially as Rising Stone Pillar's claim to the title appears to be non title case pause screen text describing it. "Ruins Steeped in Mystery: The purpose of the distinctive ruins scattered throughout the island remains unclear. " - Lost Kingdom brochure.

(I say because I wanted to reach Ruins, the thing granted a proper name within the game being played and plastered up in a trailer for the game. Rising Stone Pillar just does not occupy a space in my head as the definitive Mario & Friends "ruin") Salmancer (talk) 13:31, February 3, 2025 (EST)

...is it weird that you've managed to convince me that we should turn this into a disambiguation page instead? rend (talk) (edits)

I could go either way. (picking all locations naturally lead to that conclusion, didn't it?) But disambiguation would mean deprioritizing Ruin Powder, an item with "Ruin" leading the name and and not tied to a "ruin" location. Salmancer (talk) 04:58, February 5, 2025 (EST)

We concur with a disambiguation page, honestly. ~Camwoodstock (talk) 02:32, February 5, 2025 (EST)

A ruins category would be more suitable in this case, not a disambig. This can then redirect to the category, but at the moment this term is too general to be redirecting to this page. Mario JC 07:43, March 3, 2025 (EST)
