Re

Thanks! Being a "collectathon" enthusiast, I've played BK, BT, and GR all the way through 100%, but considered the Wikia to probably be a lost cause at this point. Nice to see an alternative :) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:39, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Hahaha, this wiki's already on its way to becoming more successful than Wikia counterpart. Have a good New Year's (Eve). Results May Vary (talk) 02:44, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. I was in a depressed rut earlier today, glad to find something interesting and new to do. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:17, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Jinjo colors

Having articles for each Jinjo color is rather excessive, in my opinion, when most of them only appear in the same single shared game and its port-with-higher-resolution. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:56, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

If you'd like, you can merge them all into one page. The list is under Category:Jinjos, and some are still under the import namespace. I'll delete the respective pages once you and me are done merging all the pages (with redirects made in their place). Results May Vary (talk) 10:45, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

BK icons

I'm about to mass-upload a bunch of static N64 B-K talking icons (with the much simpler naming template of "BK [name] icon.png,") so be prepared for that. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:03, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Sounds awesome, thank you Results May Vary (talk) 04:33, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Uploading is now finished. Moved a few duplicates; there may be more that had square boundaries instead of hugging to the icon like mine did. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:50, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Icons to sprites

It makes more sense to be more general with image types, lest we get into things like "group artwork" categories distinct from "single artwork." Giving icons their own category is like giving character images their own category, in that it makes no sense to do so for a franchise that had a total of 5 released games, not counting remakes (meaning that those red links need to go). Additionally, for searching sake, the game should come first. I also personally frown on abbreviations outside templates. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:59, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

To be perfectly frank, SmashWiki is not the model you'd want to follow if we're trying to go away from fandom-type things. I know you mean categorization-wise, but still. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:05, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Obviously. That was probably the worst thing the wikia did. That's why on the MarioWiki, I was so hellbent on getting LM and LM3DS separated, and why I went through and moved all the sprites in the Donkey Kong character gallery to be actually in a relative order, and not "all versions of each game together" like it was previously.
