You know how articles with unofficial titles have a [[Image:Unofficial Lingo.png|24px]] in their top right corner while featured articles have a [[Image:Featured.png|24px]]? Well, I just had the idea to put similar icons in articles that denote the article's game(s) of focus. So Mario (SSB) would have a [[Image:SSB64 Icon.png|24px]], wavedash would have a [[Image:SSBM Icon.png|24px]], Cracker Launcher would have a [[Image:SSBB Icon.png|24px]], Green Greens would have both the SSBM and SSBB icons, and so on. I've seen this kind of system in use on other wikis to differentiate content from different areas without having to be so explicit about it in the page content (for example: the Star Wars wiki, Wookiepedia, uses it to show what era in the timeline an article's content is from). Would this idea have any merit here? [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Chilled 16:25, 8 June 2011 (EDT)
