===Organize Quotes pages by Characters=== | |||
I came across several quotes pages.. And I say: they aren't organized correctly.. They need to be organized by characters, because a character may have an official quote said on the Nintendo's sites, which does not belong to a specific game. And beside that, Several characters have a quote said on '''all''' the games they appeared in. ("Mamma mia!" quote that was said by Mario in almost '''all''' games) | |||

MarioWiki:Quotes
Quotes are ex-supages given to games/characters that feature enough meaningful and/or notable quotes to warrant a separate page. If the game/character got few quotes which can be included in the game/character's article without creating an excessively long quotes section, a separate page is unnecessary. This policy page outlines standards that must be followed when creating a gallery sub-page.
Organizing
<span style="color:The Name of each quote page would be "List of Quotes by Character". Each quote page will have a standardized header: "This is a list of quotes by [[character]]." (this will be added to MarioWiki:Subpages Policy). The first section will be "General", and list quotes that appear in more than one appearance; if they only occur a couple times, the appearances can be listed (put these quotes at the bottom), but otherwise, just leave them. Try to put the most stereotypical quotes at the top (i.e. "Mama Mia" for Mario, "Help me, Mario!" for Peach, etc.), and remember that generic quotes are allowed here - just not things like screams ("ahhh"), nonsense and other stuff that sheds absolutely no light on the character ("hi", "okay", etc.); when in doubt, or when there's disagreement, take it to the talk page. After that section, go by genre/media type: Platformers first, since they usually have less quotes, and after that comes Sports, then Spinoffs (including all the random things), then the RPGs (since these are likely to be the big, hefty sections), then the "Non-game appearances", and finally, a Misc. section for commercials ("Mario, Mario, Mario ja nai!" - Peach, NSLU), websites, and other things like that.. Specific series may be given headers, and specific games too, if they produce a large amount of quotes (typically, games sections will be reserved for the RPGs; spinoffs and sports will at least get series headers often, I suspect); otherwise, just put what game each quote is from following the quote All sections should follow the "unsorted" quotes; use chronological order for everything at every level as much as possible. For the non-game appearances, sections can be given for the different shows, movies, publications, etc., or just list them "unsorted" like the games/series with few quotes.

Upcoming Proposals
Organize Quotes pages by Characters
I came across several quotes pages.. And I say: they aren't organized correctly.. They need to be organized by characters, because a character may have an official quote said on the Nintendo's sites, which does not belong to a specific game. And beside that, Several characters have a quote said on all the games they appeared in. ("Mamma mia!" quote that was said by Mario in almost all games)
