General Discussion

Writing lags behind language evolution: "so" is becoming increasingly popular as an intensifier in speech and informal writing, but generally isn't seen in formal stuff, so maybe just to avoid others coming and saying statements like "X is so powerful" are wrong and changing them, I'd say just try using "very" and other more accepted terms. But I think things like "X is so powerful, it destroyed Y." should be fine. But that's just my take on it.
 
Though the word has been used as an intensifier, it's also commonly used as a means of connecting two sentences, such as "Mario was too weak to beat Bowser, so he decided to get a Star." Would you still consider it acceptable in that sense?
 
The best course of action would be to re-merge Template:Spinoffs into Template:Mariogames and eliminate the problem of ambiguous terms like "spinoff" altogether.

After all, looking at it as the core "Super Mario" games being the games that are spun off of, the template already has plenty of "spinoffs" in the platformers section (i.e. "Hotel Mario" or "Mario's Bombs Away"), and looking at it as adventure games vs. match-based games, RPGs makes sense in with the platformers while the sports and things are off on their own. However, neither definition is what was used to split the template in the first place, but rather, the idea that "spinoff" = games that Nintendo didn't make, which seems pretty flimsy and as far as I know, was not discussed or approved (no one replied to his talk page comment) before the user went and made the changes (and then no one cared enough to change it back, I guess).

Having all the games in one template wouldn't be too large when you compare it to some of the RPG templates, and then the games can be sorted by genre and then subseries using two tiers of headers. I'd be happy to do it: I love messing around with templates~
 
I would love for you to do it. I'm not exactly fond of updating links in every single article anyway.
 
Licensing sometimes confuse me, specially for personal-images. What license should fit the Fanworks? What license should fit the edited sprites? Probably more, but that what is in mind now.

Alright, I wasn't sure that fanwork can be considered as a derivative of the official artworks.

dunno, don't feel it. Aren't you supposed to go to creative common to license it yourself or what?
