According to the wiki's [[MiiWiki:Coverage policy|coverage policy]], only aspects of games not part of the Mii series get coverage if they are related to Miis, but I've noticed quite a few aspects from ''[[Go Vacation]]'' (which is not part of the Mii series) have their own pages. It also appears to be the only non-Mii series game to have a decent amount of related pages on this wiki (the game's category page has a total of 16 pages listed, only being beaten by ''Tomodachi Life'' and ''Miitopia''), but I seriously question if a game like that really needs to have any articles other than just the game itself.
While it is true that ''Go Vacation'' does have an option to use Miis as the playable character, the player can also use the game's own custom avatar system instead, and none of the pages related to ''Go Vacation'' seem to be exclusive to playing as a Mii if my research is correct, so just having all these pages that aren't necessarily intrinsic to Miis feels rather excessive to me.
To give an example of my point, this would be like giving every kart from ''Mario Karts Wii'', ''7'', and ''8'' (don't know about ''Tour'') its own page just because the Mii emblem can appear on all of them if the Mii is the driver. As these karts can be used by any character, and their respective emblem shows up on the kart instead of the Mii emblem (e.g. a big "M" for Mario or a "DK" for Donkey Kong), only the Mii emblem is intrinsic to the Mii driver, not the kart. If the kart otherwise doesn't have any Mii-related qualities that are still retained by non-Mii drivers, then I see no reason to give it a page.
Do note that stuff like the Mii Fighters from ''Super Smash Bros.'', Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu from ''Mario Kart 7'', or any of the Mii-related microgames from ''WarioWare'' are a different case from what I'm talking about altogether, as while their respective games are not part of the Mii series, they are still heavily tied to Miis or the Mii series no matter what (Mii Fighters have their own distinct movesets and don't have a non-Mii equivalent, Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu are directly based on a ''Wii'' series location, and some ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' microgames can only use Miis).
In my opinion, non-Mii series aspects that are technically related to Miis, but aren't strictly tied to them, should, at best, only be mentioned in the game's article and nothing more than that.

Regarding articles on aspects related to, but not intrinsic to Miis in non-Mii series games (April 22, 2024 - May 6, 2024)

According to the wiki's coverage policy, only aspects of games not part of the Mii series get coverage if they are related to Miis, but I've noticed quite a few aspects from Go Vacation (which is not part of the Mii series) have their own pages. It also appears to be the only non-Mii series game to have a decent amount of related pages on this wiki (the game's category page has a total of 16 pages listed, only being beaten by Tomodachi Life and Miitopia), but I seriously question if a game like that really needs to have any articles other than just the game itself.

While it is true that Go Vacation does have an option to use Miis as the playable character, the player can also use the game's own custom avatar system instead, and none of the pages related to Go Vacation seem to be exclusive to playing as a Mii if my research is correct, so just having all these pages that aren't necessarily intrinsic to Miis feels rather excessive to me.

To give an example of my point, this would be like giving every kart from Mario Karts Wii, 7, and 8 (don't know about Tour) its own page just because the Mii emblem can appear on all of them if the Mii is the driver. As these karts can be used by any character, and their respective emblem shows up on the kart instead of the Mii emblem (e.g. a big "M" for Mario or a "DK" for Donkey Kong), only the Mii emblem is intrinsic to the Mii driver, not the kart. If the kart otherwise doesn't have any Mii-related qualities that are still retained by non-Mii drivers, then I see no reason to give it a page.

Do note that stuff like the Mii Fighters from Super Smash Bros., Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu from Mario Kart 7, or any of the Mii-related microgames from WarioWare are a different case from what I'm talking about altogether, as while their respective games are not part of the Mii series, they are still heavily tied to Miis or the Mii series no matter what (Mii Fighters have their own distinct movesets and don't have a non-Mii equivalent, Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu are directly based on a Wii series location, and some WarioWare: Smooth Moves microgames can only use Miis).

In my opinion, non-Mii series aspects that are technically related to Miis, but aren't strictly tied to them, should, at best, only be mentioned in the game's article and nothing more than that.

Support

  1. Agreed, I don't see any reason to make pages beyond the game pages themselves for things that aren't tied to Mii games or exclusively tied to Miis themselves. ---PinkYoshiFan 20:15, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
