Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Remove featured article status
- Super Radio (talk) Although a well-documented article at surface, the glaring issue of this page is the Worlds section. It just lacks subtance, it fails to complete the mission of thoroughly informing the user about that aspect of the game. Red links are everywhere in there, with no place nor order, but that's not it: the lack of information extends over to even the existent articles. Have a look-see at how inconsistent each world page is one from another, how some are treated as featured articles simply because they have a ton more information than other. To be fair, the latter don't even count as informative ("This article is under construction"..."The high score of this level is [period]" etc., know what I mean? That kind of frustratingly unhelpful stub bullshit that you find on Wikia) Also, what do the Expert Levels mean? How does one unlock/play them? What happens when we finish them? There's just a screenshot of their select screen plastered over nothing. Though I understand this might have been an addition long after the article got nominated, much like the "more media" template. At least the e-Reader section looks pretty explanatory. There's not much else wrong with this article, but levels are surely a big part of the game that has been neglected in here. Beyond all this, I imagine the reception section should contain a table with the critics' verdits and ratings.
I believe pages should not be nominated for their facade alone, but for related content too, that which should exist to inform the reader further about the game because that information couldn't be included in the main article. Mario vs. Donkey Kong, the article, doesn't excel at that.
