Another gallery needing some cleanup! *dull "Hooray"*

Let's take a look at this wonderful page and see if anyone in the comments is smart enough to give consensus on this serious stuff.

Alright, first paragraph. Mostly just talks about his channel content and video-making techniques. What about how he is characterized in bloopers? SMG4 usually plays the sane man in contrast to Mario's hysterical behavoir, but he has been used extensively for comic relief. I get this page is kinda trying to talk about a character and a YouTuber at the same time, which is something the article struggles with. In general, though, more of the YouTuber stuff should be moved to Real Life SMG4.

The first heading should be renamed to YouTube Account "About" page, even just About or something. Let's not have a heading start with an adverb. As for the content, well… move it into a collapse box? In fact, do we really need a section for this? Why not put it in the first paragraph, or the infobox, or something, as I don't think SMG4's About info is really relevant to the page.

So then we have the counterparts thing. It actually states that counterparts have no relevance to SMG4's vids. So why would you put this stuff on the wikia specifically made for stuff relevant to SMG4's vids? This stuff should stay on the MM54321 Wiki as it has nothing to do with this wikia's purpose. I don't care what the big admins on either wiki say. The articles can link over to the other wikia as much as necessary; in fact, there should be a template linking to the corresponding page on the MM54321 Wiki. I'm perfectly fine with these wikis being sisters. I disagree on the front that everything should just be copied over between them. It ruins the point of updatable article content, and goes against the purpose of specialized wikis in the first place. Same with some of the trivia. If MM54321 made him a protagonist in one of his vids, great! Just put that stuff on the relevant wikia.

…

What? That's it, the article just jumps to (poorly organized) trivia? There is nothing about SMG4 in his videos, except for a counterpart not relevant to his videos? What about his relationships to other characters? What about his characterization? I don't care if we have to split the page into Meta and Character sections (and then delete the Real Life SMG4 and move its contents to the Meta section because of it), we need SMG4 as he appears in his own videos! He is a main character in his own videos, and has been ever since Account Loss – when he was just getting the hang of video editing, and look where that's gotten him now! – and there's nothing about that here. People might come to this wikia and expect information about SMG4's character, you know, the one that appears in the main bloopers series, and those people will find nothing.

Well done, everybody. You have made an article on one of the main characters of SMG4's bloopers. You have been editing and repairing it since the page was created on July 17. This was the first article to be featured, from what I've heard. And in case you didn't get the memo, that means that this article has been, for all this time, considered to be one of the best articles the SuperMarioGlitchy4 Wiki has to offer. This has been the standard to which pages for other YouTubers and characters have been held, and it will be the standard to which all of those pages are held until nobody cares about SMG4 anymore. And the featured thing isn't just about this page. It seems like pages are featured just because they're popular. I, for example, initially came across the page for Mario and found it in disrepair. I don't think I had an account back then. At the very least I had no knowledge of wikitext and never used the VisualEditor's dropdown menus or advanced features. But despite the featured template warning me not to hastily edit, I figured anything I could muster was better than what was already there. This page is the same deal, but there's just so much stuff that needs adding and fixing that I refuse to fix it all myself. Because, again, you all have made a page about one of the two main characters of SMG4's videos. You have made a page about SMG4's own avatar in his own videos. And other than an unrelated, mentioned-only character who was only mentioned in someone else's videos, and a really crappy trivia section and gallery, do you have anything about this character? Is there anything at all?

No.

Because at the end of the day, if you are looking for how SMG4 is portrayed in bloopers – which is likely the only knowledge of him that a random bypasser will have… this page has nothing.
