Righty, so the Mariowiki.com is unanimously voting to delete their Pokemon article. This gave me the idea of creating a Pokemon article for the Mario fandom wiki from ground-up:
https://mario.fandom.com/wiki/Pokémon
Hope this helps!
(p.s. i msg'd here because i don't think the other staff on mariowiki fandom want mariowiki.com issue/drama-related discussion there, and it harder for me to contact you)

Here's some messages from those supporting the deletion

Pathetic! Not a single person opposes such an abhorrent removal. They’re reasons are once again flawed, we’d better get ready to start migrating over to Mariopedia as well!

I also noticed that they once again merged the "Urchin (land)" page again… Just wow!…
- Copy Link
Not clued up on Urchin (land), but I do remember importing the Pokemon article to Mariopedia. I have all of the images backed up (I backed them up about 2 years ago actually for when I was planning to do a spin off Pokemon wiki to elaborate on the material on the Mario Wiki)
It really is. The only good thing that can come out of this is that these ignorant removals are going to cause MarioWiki Fandom to increase in traffic because the things that once made mariowiki.com great & beloved are being inherited by MarioWiki fandom and, more directly, Mariopedia

Yeah, it is a shame that they'd willingly kill the traffic of their own site like this but hey, it'll only help the other two become more recognized, also, the "Urchin (land)" page exists on both MarioWiki and Mariopedia as "Ground Urchin" on both, the latter was somewhat original as at the time I made it, I wasn't aware that the SMW had the two pages split. I do remember trying to split the two pages back in 2016 during my time there, they were merged back like a couple hours later and now it seems as though it's happened again, their loss of viewers (in that department) I guess.

They are in line with NIWA's agenda, no matter how badly it hurts them. I was told that perhaps if we wait a while, the wiki will become a joke that no one will take seriously anymore because every single month they do something to make it worse and worse & add more and more unnecessary rules.
- Copy Link
They've been doing it for years now, it's pretty much a compound effect. Heck in some cases, if you look at their page sections (when looking at certain enemies), they're only have a couple sentences whereas MarioWiki has been expanding and elaborating on each section (complete with screenshots as well). It's only a matter of time before people start to view the site as a joke, especially when we've got MarioWiki and Mariopedia which have kept the same level of quality and the rules don't change like every five seconds (even extending to some of the other Mario-related wikis such as Mario Kart Racing Wiki and this one), it's only going to nullify the SMW even further.

Makes sense why I've been passionate enough to add over 1,000 articles to the Fandom wiki this year, doesn't it? I think my efforts have resulted in more traffic probably

Some reason he doesn't want the Pokemon page that I did
