Power Moon articles
Do these really need their own individual articles? There are at least 900(!) Power Moons in the game, most of which serve more as collectibles scattered around the kingdom than actual goals/objectives like in 64, Sunshine and Galaxy, and don't really provide us with much information to go on other than "[Power Moon name] is a Power Moon in Super Mario Odyssey. It can be found in [location]." With the Power Star missions from previous games, you have a set goal, how to get there, and what you find along the way, all of which vary between missions, but with a lot of these Power Moons, you just have a location. If anything, the Power Moons that would have enough information to be separate articles are the objective-based ones (the ones found on the pedestals that trigger an event within the kingdom when collected), Multi Moons, and the secret areas.

- Yes, actually. We have coverage on Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door missions from the Trouble Center, missions from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and even cover secret missions from Super Mario Sunshine. Plus, these are technically missions, so they should get full coverage in separate articles as per policy. As for the issue of content, I think I can work around that.
