Talk:Wii Balance Board

Deletion

The current setup I was working with was that stage element characters have to do something other than appear silently in the background to warrant having a page of their own. This includes things like 5-Volt (damaging hazard), K.K. Slider (affects the music), or Peppy Hare (voice acted). Unless we want to significantly increase the number of pages we have on very minor appearances of characters (which I'd oppose), this page is outside the current setup. The only saving grace for the Balance Board that gives it a chance of surviving is that it's also part of the WFT's entry animation, but I don't think that's enough to save it from disambig status.

1) at least give the conversation a proper topic title rather than just having it floating in nothing

2) well then if that's the case then this page can stay up until that project of yours is done, and then we can move the information there.

I mean really, there are plenty of background characters who have their own pages, I see no reason why He cant as well. I mean he appears with the Wii Fit trainer in both versions of the game, via their intro, is featured as a background element in the wii fit stage, and has his own trophy. But again, with this project of yours, we can simply keep his info here until your new project is complete, and we can move his info there.

I think you misunderstood me. The current plan is for pages like this not to exist, like at all. Otherwise we'd be signing up for an absurd number of additional pages that we don't need: every background Pokemon, every background Animal Crossing NPC, etc. This page existing would set a bad precedent that I'd rather not. If you want to argue for this page's viability, understand that's the concern you're pushing up against. Miles (talk) 01:41, 17 July 2015 (EDT)

Well then I'm going to have to say i'm against your idea then. One thing I find rather odd is when Wiki's purposely withhold information on on anything, be it characters, items, or background elements, simply because they find it easier. The whole point of a Wiki is to provide as much information on the wikis subject as they can. If you wanna withhold information, regardless of how small it is, simply because its easy for you, then why are you even here?

The main reason I want the Balance Board to have his own page is because, unlike most games featured in smash bros, we don't have a Wii Fit wiki to link too for others to read this info on. Most franchises included in Smash Bros. are often linked to the wiki's of the other games that are included in it. So if people want to read up on Pokemon, or animal Crossing NPC's, they can go to the Animal Crossing Wiki and Bulbapedia to do that. For games like Wii Fit, the SSB Wiki is the only place to go to for info regarding it.
