We (well, [[User:Omega Tyrant|Omega Tyrant]]) got rid of game articles with barely any or no relevance, but now it has come to my attention that a good percentage of this Wiki's mainspace articles are [[:Category:Games|games]]. I propose that we '''merge''' all games of a series to one article or on the universe pages. For example, we could have an article called ''Paper Mario (series)'' and it will have sections describing ''Super Paper Mario'', ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'', and ''Paper Mario'' and their relevance to the ''Super Smash Bros. series''. I will need the community to agree with me on this movement, and I would also like all of you to help should you agree. <font face="Eurostile" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">BNK</span>]]</font><sup> <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:EditCount/Blue Ninjakoopa|E]]|[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Blue Ninjakoopa|C]]]</sup> 01:33, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

:Seems poorly designed and unlikely to be of use, especially when there is no series for pages to be contained in. A merge to a universe page could work, but then again, why are we documenting games that don't appear in the game anyway? <span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadowcrest</span>]]</span> 23:23, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

::I agree with merging with universe pages instead, but in response to your question: I'm not sure, I was suggesting that we merge games like [[Super Mario 64]] to a series page (now a universe page) because the games category is ridiculously long and, to be honest, isn't needed. <font face="Eurostile" size="3">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#00008B">BNK</span>]]</font><sup> <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:EditCount/Blue Ninjakoopa|E]]|[[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/Blue Ninjakoopa|C]]]</sup> 00:06, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
