    Identifying a character from a history video game

    That's along the lines of what I expected, but I sincerely appreciate the confirmation nonetheless. The question remains as to why the developers included this fictitious detail in an educational game, but I don't think I'll ever get an answer for that.

    Identifying a character from a history video game

    Thank you very much for the help. I'm also having trouble identifying someone else, but in this case I don't even know who he is. Mario is speaking to someone who claims to be the King of England in London circa 1831. He does not provide his name at any point. He is attending Michael...

    I'm fine with scrapping it entirely. Sure, if you're answering a five-year-old question, then the original asker probably isn't on the wiki anymore, but if one person had a legitimate question to ask, then it's very likely that someone else currently has that same question as well. If, through...

    Both are grammatically correct. Though "Mike's brother's book" is kind of clunky, you can layer as many of those as you want without breaking any rules. Personally, if I was writing this into a paragraph, I'd try to avoid the situation altogether by mentioning the name of Mike's brother...

    I've noticed a few talk page proposals who had passed and put into effect despite only having three votes. This goes against rule 8 on the Proposals page: This has been around since at least November of 2007, and the proposals I have in mind happened long after this was put here. Would it be...

    What is an ally?

    Maybe it would be worth making a preliminary proposal that calls for either the removal of allies or the retooling of allies, and, if that passes in favor of retooling it, a second proposal would then follow covering the suggestions here.

    Is it necessary for pages like World 4-7 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition) and World 4-B (New Super Mario Bros. 2) to have their identifiers? They're the only levels literally titled "World 4-7" or "World 4-B", but they carry the identifier presumably because of the disambiguation...

    What is an ally?

    Subspace Emissary doesn't have a protagonist or a major character - Mario, Kirby, Peach, and Zelda share the spotlight at first, but everything diverges so much that it would be really hard to even pinpoint a principal group.

    What is an ally?

    So it's entirely Mario centric? Especially for the Paper Mario partners, they're just as much on the journey to Bowser as Mario, so it seems weird to give them lesser prominence.

    It's at times like these, when I have a bunch of ideas on how to take care of something but no clear consensus as to what would be best, that I like to make a proposal and throw it to the wolves. I'm tempted now to take everyone's suggestions and lump them into one proposal... though to be...

    But your plan was to rename ally to friendly NPC, and we have a category for allies (Category:Allies).

    What is an ally?

    At that point, you're being too broad, and there's a pointless amount of overlap with the other categories. Non-playable character already has the connotation that it's not an enemy. Bosses are NPCs, the species are NPCs, and at that point, what's the point of it?

    Actually, this might be a good way of drawing a line in the sand. Take any standard shopkeeper who sells helpful items to the player, like Boodin, who never goes out of their way or otherwise does anything to help the player: are these kinds of shopkeepers considered allies (or friendly NPCs or...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario Wiki

    At the very least, it discourages fan votes, i.e. voting to not merge a character because you really like them or attempting to nominate a character as a featured article because you just want to see the pretty star in the corner. I do think our standards for voting reasons are a bit too lax...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario Wiki

    Ideally, every game article with enemies would have some sort of table like the SMB and SMB2 articles, but there's no set standard as to what they should look like. From the examples you posted, the SMB2 table may be the best for the future (our site really isn't kind for mobile...).
