-==Dream Friends pages' colored titles, revisited (March 4th, 2023 - March 18th, 2023)==
-Two years ago, [[WiKirby:Proposals/Archive-2021#Add Colored Titles to Dream Friend Pages (January 19th, 2021 - February 2nd, 2021)|a proposal]] was made to give featured [[Dream Friend]]s articles a special treatment by making their page titles colored. The reasoning for that was, that important characters deserve having their pages be unique and that it would be a nice, little detail. However, there are few problems as of currently.
-First, the proposal only affected Dream Friends, who at the time were basically synonymous with "major character". But then the next game came along with [[Elfilin]]. Under what was established in the proposal, his article can't get a special color, solely because he had the unluck to debut in a game after ''Kirby Star Allies''. And the ''Kirby'' series will still continue, and more characters will appear... It was not future-proof.
-Second, the inconsistency. I don't believe that featured articles should be divided into better and worse just because they happen to cover a certain topic, and colored titles make that division. In addition, a lot people are confused on why some pages get that treatment and some don't--that's certainly not helpful either.
-So, my solutions are:
-* '''Option 1: Give every Featured page special color''' (that would be my preferred)
-* '''Option 2: Make every Featured page white''' (opposite of Option 1)
-* '''Option 3: Revert to how it was before the 2021 proposal''' (Kirby had pink title font, everything else white)
-* '''Option 4: Give special color to every major character, not just Dream Friends''' (if the first issue is a concern but not the second)
-* '''Option 5: Do nothing''' (it's fine as it is)

-#At this point it just makes sense to give colors to featured articles as we wish. We could perhaps try to find some sort of rules but ultimately I think we can do our own call. And we can keep some others as white anyway when there is no color to represent the article really. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 15:24, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

-#"''I want to emphasize that this creates an even larger inconsistency amongst page design and it's one that I would drastically prefer to not exist''"—Jegman 2021. It looked terrible from the moment it was implemented and should never have gone forward to begin with. Revert pre-2021. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig Jegman]] - 15:15, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

-===Discussion===
-Personally I like the idea of the title colours for the unique extra flair they provide, but the part that bothers me most is that only featured articles can get this treatment. Given that these colours are based entirely on the subjects of the articles, I don't think featured status should make a difference at all, and yet [[Marx]], [[Gooey]], [[Ribbon]], and all three Mage-Sisters are excluded by this requirement. The title colour isn't even applied consistently among articles that ''are'' featured since it's missing from [[Rick]], [[Kine]], and [[Coo]] for some reason. So my ideal solution would be to just consistently apply these title colours to all Dream Friends (as well as Elfilin by the logic I explained [[Talk:Elfilin#Title colour|here]]) regardless of featured status.
