Recently, I've been bothered by the idea of having pages beginning with the given two words. I feel like certain pages don't deserve this title. For example, we have a Copy Ability page, but not an Environmental Elements page; instead, we have a "List of Environmental Elements" page. I think the former name would be fine over the current one. Aside from that page, which I feel is used quite frequently, there are others: Cameos, Items, Glitches, Treasures, Kirby games, Kirby: Right Back At Ya! episodes, Minor characters in Kirby: Right Back at Yah!, Checklist tasks in Kirby Mass Attack, Copy Abilities in the Super Smash Bros. series, Trophies in the Super Smash Bros. series, and even a "List of Copy Abilities" page also all begin with those words. For starts, I can't say all of these pages are truly "lists." We generally provide detail regarding each element collected into the page. Besides, we have category pages as our basic form of listing, to say that all the elements have seperate pages, such as each anime episode. I propose to make a name change to some of these articles, and perhaps delete some of the less relevant ones, in which their information can be displayed elsewhere. Cameos, Items, Glitches, Treasures, Environmental Elements, Copy Abilities in the Super Smash Bros. series, and Trophies in the Super Smash Bros. series can stand on their own. As for it, here's what I think of the others: what is the point of the "List of Copy Abilities" page? We have a template, currently on the top of the Copy Ability page and various other places, that displayed all of the Copy Abilities (excluding Smash Bros.) in a much more compact fashion. It doesn't show their debut games, but I don't think that's that big a problem. Besides, the mix abilities are made fairly obvious, as well as the anime exclusive ones and that Super Abilities only appear, so far, in KRtDL. The list of Kirby games is already present on the Kirby (series) article, albeit slightly different. It doesn't include the virtual console releases, but I don't think that's a big deal; that information is in the game's article anyways. The Kirby anime episodes, however, aren't present anywhere else as far as I'm concerned; however, the Kirby: Right Back At Yah! article features a "main article" link to it anyways. The page can include the content from that page, or the template listinf off the episodes; the template is more compact, but has less information however. For the minor characters, do we really need a full out article for it? It's practically bare bones. I think that's why we have category pages. Checklist tasks in Kirby Mass Attack may be able to stand on its own, but if we have one for it, we should also have one for Air Ride. In short, I want "List of Copy Abilities," "List of Kirby games," "List of Kirby: Right Back At Yah! episodes," and "List of minor characters in Kirby: Right Back At Yah!" to be removed, have the rest receive proper name changes, and eventually add a KAR checklist page if one doesn't exist already.
I would appreciate that you focus on giving feedback on the idea I am telling more than my grammar, so if you have anything to say on that standpoint, please do
This all seems fine to me. I'm not sure why we made them all "Lists of," to be honest. I think we may have done it to follow other wikis. All I really remember about it is Starman125 renaming 'Environment' to 'List of environmental elements.'
Go right ahead with the proposed plan. Be sure to leave redirects for each one; it'd be a ton of work having to manually change every link.
I don't really mind the idea either. The only one you shouldn't change is the List of Copy Abilities- but we'll have to discuss that at some point too.
In my opinion, I don't think that's a strong reason for deleting this page. First, it's more in-depth than that compact template- for instance, it shows the first appearance of each ability, what abilities mix, etc. It's also more print-friendly.
