Split objects[edit]

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal. |
Split objects 4-0
This is a trial run for a larger proposal I may make later on.
In terms of shows, comics, games, and films, unique objects are split to their own articles. For instance, we split all types (for the most part) of platforms, collectibles, items, power-ups, etcetera. This game features multiple unique objects and levels (the latter of which will potentially be subject to the aforementioned later proposal) that are currently merged to this article. Each of these objects have enough information in regards to where they are and what they do (with some expansion) that they could comfortably warrant their own articles. This also wouldn't be the first time that something solely appearing in a browser game has been split (for instance, Jimmy (NES Classics microsite), Pixelland, Toad's Game Board). In short, I believe the unique objects (some of which are currently redirects) appearing in this game should be split to their own articles. Variants of existing enemies (i.e. Buzzard a.k.a. Necky) could stay merged.

This is a second trial run for a larger proposal I may make later on.
Per my reasoning in the above proposal. As I said in the above proposal, unique levels are also split to their own articles. We split bonus minigames, we split battle modes, we split all types of levels in Super Mario video games. This game features multiple unique levels (which feature a substantial amount of information) currently merged to this article. The only thing that these levels don't have is a name, but.. well.. technically, neither does World 1-1. This wouldn't be the first time something solely appearing in a browser game has been split, and these levels could fill out their own articles (for instance, their time limits, their contents, other stuff in each level). Thus, I believe these should be split.

Support Maze 2[edit]
- Nelsonic Maze 2 (talk) Per proposal.
- Camwoodstock (talk) We're genuinely unsure if this needs a proposal... We'd wager the only reason these levels remain merged is the obscurity of the source material, rather than because of some weird stipulation that the levels in this game don't count as levels for one reason or another.
- Rykitu Barrel Maze 2: Electric Boogaloo (talk) Per Camwoodstock. If the items and objects in the game are split, I don't see why the levels shouldn't be split.
- Wilben (talk) Per all.
- Power Flotzo (talk) Per all.
