I love those Pikmin

I'm PopitTart. I'm more of a casual here. My focus is on Pikipedia under the same username.

Proposal Draft

When going through the wiki, I often come across pages like Fwoosh that have infoboxes showing their first appearance in a game, and their latest appearance in... a port or remake of that game. Yes, Super Mario 3D All-Stars may literally be the latest release to feature it, but I feel like this misses the point of the inbobox entries. In my mind, it gives a quick look at the history of the subject. Bull's-Eye Blaster being introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3 and appearing in Super Mario Bros. Wonder quickly gives the jist that this is a historic subject that continues to see use today. Meanwhile, Bob-omb Buddy's appearances being Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 3D All-Stars just tells me that it was in 64, despite the extensive history that they actually have.

To remedy this, I propose that these infoboxes should distinguish when the latest appearance is in a reissue. When it is, the box will be split to have the reissue game displayed alongside the subject's most recent original appearance, in a fashion much like non-Super Mario characters list both their latest overall appearance and latest Super Mario appearance. This would have some caveats and nuances.

A reissue should only be noted as such if the subject also appeared in the original game. Triangular Block does not appear in Super Mario Bros. 3, so Super Mario Advance 4 is an original appearance.
Similarly, If a subject appears in new content within a reissue, then the reissue constitutes a new appearance. This would apply to Blockstepper as it appears in Bowser's Fury.
If a subject only appears in a game and its own reissue, then no note is necessary. The original game does not need to be listed twice, much like subjects that are only in one game.

Proposal 2 Draft

The wiki currently recognizes only a Yoshi's Island series, to which Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Woolly World, and the other platformers without "Island" in their names are merely related to, but not actually part of the same series. I think this is a pedantic view of the Yoshi games, and it's inconsistent with how the wider Super Mario games are treated.

Imagine if the wiki had a page called Super Mario Bros. (series) instead of the actual Super Mario (series) page. It would only cover the 2D platformers which have "Super Mario Bros." in their titles. Everything else is just games in Super Mario (franchise). That would be a bit silly, right? Just because they lack the word "Bros.", doesn't mean Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and the rest are any less significant as Mario platformers.

Well, that's how Yoshi games are treated. Yoshi's Woolly World clearly takes a lot from Yoshi's Island, including but not limited to: a structure consisting of six worlds, each with 8 levels, the fourth and eighth of each being a fortress and castle respectively; the Flutter Jump, Ground Pound, and Egg Throw moves; Smiley Flower, Egg Block, Winged Cloud objects in levels; Shy Guy, Tap-Tap, and Burt enemies; I could go on for a long while. So why aren't the part of the same series in the wiki's eyes? Because Baby Mario isn't there? I think that's a quite small thing to be stuck on considering all the other ways these 2D platformers are comparable. I recently edited Template:Yoshi forms to categorize the various forms by source, and having forms from Super Mario Run and Super Mario Galaxy 2 link to Super Mario (series) while forms from Yoshi's New Island and Yoshi's Woolly World link to Yoshi (franchise) seems just plain inconsistent. I should also make note of this official ad for Yoshi's Woolly World that showcases all the Yoshi's Island games and Yoshi's Story as part of the game's history.

I propose that Yoshi's Island (series) be dismantled and turned into Yoshi (series). It would consist of the following games:

Yoshi Topsy-Turvy and Yoshi Touch & Go are... edge cases. They're certainly closer to these games than they are to Yoshi's Safari, but are still somewhat distinct, and particularly not included in the aformentioned Woolly World ad. I think they should count as much as Super Mario Run is a mainline Super Mario game, but I can see both sides.

Wording around the wiki would also be changed to match this perspective. There would no longer be recognition of a specific Yoshi's Island series, instead described more like the Super Mario Galaxy games are.
