Talk:Merchandise

Would it be better if all merchandise pages are merged into this page? ™ 15:34, October 10, 2014 (EDT)

I think that as the Merchandise section expands one page will become insufficient very quickly. However, I do think we need to think a bit more about how we want to organize our Merchandise section. Right now it is organized according to item type. I think that this is a good start, but as it stands our pages do very little other than provide pictures of merchandise. In the future I would like to see suborganization by game (most merchandise is released to promote a specific title or work) and brand with some information on each item's release date and if possible, price.

I would also like to bring up a very pressing question- what about amiibo and amiibo cards? The animal crossing e-cards are hidden away in the Merchandise section. Do amiibo belong there too?

Lastly, SuperHamster, you condensed the styluses and cases into Merchandise/DS Accessories. I think that is fine for the time being, but we need to incorporate content from Merchandise/Cases, and we need to figure out how to organize the sections listed on Merchandise since Accessories no longer has subsections. Lastly, I question whether we should have 3DS merchandise listed on a DS Accessories page. I recognize the 3DS is a continuation of the DS line, but I think it's a bit confusing nonetheless.

Great points all around. As I looked over the pages yesterday, I started brainstorming the best way to do all this too, but it's a tough question with multiple answers...do we want a sortable table format, similar to our furniture series? Or perhaps little info cards for each item, like what Bulbapedia has? I'll have to think on it some more, along with the solution to amiibos. ~SuperHamster Talk 00:46, July 6, 2016 (EDT)
