What is acceptable and what is not
Regarding related games, mobile collaborative efforts that have no more than a paragraph of information pertaining to anything Tales does not warrant its own page on this wiki. Making note of the collaboration on the game involved is all that is needed, especially when we're trying to justify the creation of a page through the single paragraph of relevant information and other brief facts about the game that make it nothing more than a fancy stub article. Frankly, it's an insult to the wikis devoted to these series, who have far more information on the topic than we. That is because they focus on their series, which is what we should do on this wiki. This is a Tales wiki, and any collaborative efforts are linked through the collaborating games in question.

That being said, there's exceptions to this. What I left in this category falls in line with these exceptions because these are not mere mobile collaborative efforts. NXC, PXZ, and PXZ2 are fighting games featuring Tales characters, and some storyline is integrated within. Likewise, it's important that all arte appearances are documented on this wiki, and it wouldn't be ideal to repeatedly link to another wiki each time an arte from one of these games is listed on an arte page. Keroro RPG is also different because it is technically a spin-off of the series. Notice how there's plenty of information on each of these pages to justify them.

I don't want mobile collaborative efforts. I didn't even want the colossal amount of time and energy being dumped into ToLink when there's an entire wiki dedicated to it, but I understand that arte pages should be comprehensive and the ToLink data pages compile all this information for easy reference. The mobile games market is an absolute mess, and I cannot wait for the trend to fly out the window.
