Potential to split

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: Sunday, November 24, 2024, 01:33 GMT

I was just wondering if we could split this page into the one dedicated to the original Wii U title and the one dedicated to the Nintendo Switch port.

Proposer: Teh Other (talk)
Deadline: December 31, 2022, 23:59 GMT

Support

1. Teh Other (talk) Per proposal
2. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - If it should have a separate page, it can have a separate gallery. Not enough images for a gallery page? Then put them in a "gallery" section on said game's page. I prefer to avoid mingling these if we can help it. It's why I was so gung-ho about keeping SM3DAS images from being intermixed with the originals'.
3. Somethingone (talk) Per Doc.

Oppose

1. Waluigi Time (talk) In its current state, there's not enough images specifically for the Switch version that it needs a split.
2. Hewer (talk) Per Waluigi Time and Starry Windy in the comments.
3. Swallow (talk) Per all
4. Killer Moth (talk) I've got to agree with Waluigi Time and Starry Windy on this, if we do this then would we be doing the same for other games such as the Mario and Sonic series.
5. Koopa con Carne (talk) Placed a supporting vote and removed it a split second later. I agree with Doc that the gallery related to the Switch version should be moved to the port's own page, but the proposal has to be rephrased with that goal in mind as the current amount of content won't suffice for a page of its own. (Per rule 14, you got about 5 hours left to do that from the moment I cast this vote.)

Comments

I wanted to take a note regarding this proposal, because other gallery pages for games with similar title names, like several Mario & Sonic titles and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, didn't have separate pages while being released for multiple systems. If the split happens to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, do we have to do the same with these pages as well? Starry Windy (talk)

I feel like Doc Von's comment about moving the images to a gallery section of the switch versions's page should be another option for this proposal, I probably would support that. Nightwicked Bowser 21:11, December 17, 2022 (EST)

Why would it need a separate option? There not being enough now doesn't mean there won't be later. It's about the principle, not the bulk. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:15, December 17, 2022 (EST)

Because the support option is solely for creating an entire page which I don't agree with (and Teh Other attempted that before I reverted for being undiscussed). I believe the "bulk" is often what determines this sort of thing anyway. Nightwicked Bowser 11:26, December 19, 2022 (EST)

Tell me where it says "create a new page." All I see is "split off," which is open-ended. My point about the bulk is that's what determines what is done with the images. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:22, December 19, 2022 (EST)

I think the proposer should answer that then. Nightwicked Bowser 13:31, December 19, 2022 (EST)

It does say "split this page into the one dedicated to the original Wii U title and the one dedicated to the Nintendo Switch port", I think that's pretty clear that this would make two pages. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 13:49, December 19, 2022 (EST)

I read the "one" as "gallery," which would include a section gallery. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:46, December 19, 2022 (EST)

Considering Teh Other never even mentioned the word "gallery" and used "page" instead, I can easily see how someone else would interpret "one" as "(gallery) page" instead of just "gallery". rend (talk) (edits) 06:29, December 20, 2022 (EST)

@Koopa Con Carne: Talk page proposals actually have the amount of time to rewrite or delete the proposals doubled (6 days instead of 3), as stated in rule 14 as well, just like how a talk page proposal's duration is doubled compared to a regular proposal. So actually, as of writing this, Teh Other still has about 3 days left to rewrite the proposal. rend (talk) (edits) 06:20, December 20, 2022 (EST)

Just like how the page Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was split into the page itself and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch) per proposal, I was wondering if we can split the gallery into two? GuntherBayBeee

So I guess that means one gallery page for the Wii U version, and one gallery page for the Switch version. rend (talk) (edits) 08:49, December 20, 2022 (EST)
