:I was a nerdy child. I grew up reading encyclopedias and there are quite a few behind me as I type this. All of these books were curated. They were made to be read. It is not inherently unencyclopedic to make curatorial choices on Super Mario Wiki, and if anything it is an inherent component of the craft.

:It also feels disingenuous to how things actually function on Super Mario Wiki. If folks were not making curatorial decisions and just amassing assets for a depository, we would have no need for writing guidelines, policies, proposals, etc. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 21:35, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

I'd like to point out that the [[Kanaami Road]] article has only one of these images per course. If we're really not drawing a line ''anywhere'', then that article has to go up from an already massive 248 course icons to — and yes, I counted — '''''eight hundred and ninety-three'''''. I would not consider it a failure of the wiki's coverage to not have every course icon on the articles in the same way I do not consider it a failure that the Kanaami Road article does not have 893 images on it. (It isn't lost on me that the only reason I could get that number is because the course icons were on this wiki, though, so I am in favor of having them ''some''where.)
