I think the idea was brought up somewhere, but this really should have had a proposal first. Nightwicked Bowser 16:58, May 19, 2023 (EDT)

I saw a link to MarioWiki:Article size in the edit summary and it says that >100KB pages "almost certainly should be divided" so i think it's a rule here i guess. i actually think i approve of the rule because my computer in general sometimes lags when going on those articles -CoolNintendo

Yeah I decided to split because our policy outlines it explicitly (it also helps with accessibility immensely, as you said with your computer; it's not easy loading with mine either and mine is a good pc), and it even has a listed example concerning Mario's page, mama mia. "For example, summarizing the "History" section of Mario to give a much more top-level overview and using {{main}} to link to a new page entitled "History of Mario"." Bowser's article SHOULD get a split, pronto too. The only reason it hasn't happened is that IMO the initiative hasn't been taken yet (it's not an easy undertaking). I decided just today to take it.

What about Wario -CoolNintendo

Probably. As long as Nintendo continues treating him like a major recurring character, he's going to eventually need his own history. This probably also applies to recurring objects like Super Mushroom or Pipe, depends on how large the articles are for those, but I think we should focus on characters first. Mario^-HOHO!
