Line 16:
I'm proposing that we split this article. The ''Makin' Magic'' invisible friend is very different from the ''Generations'' invisible friend. the only similarity seems to be the name itself. The bulk of the article seems to be devoted to the TS3 version of the invisible friend, and the TS1 version is only tangentially related. I think it would make more sense to split them up.

:I'm not really sure. I agree with your reasoning, but this case is a bit common with several ''Makin' Magic'' topics, such as [[werewolf]] and [[Nectar Making]]. I don't mind having ''Makin' Magic'' section in the page since it only takes up a bit of the content (separating the articles will make ''Makin' Magic'' page stub in the process). I don't mind this page to focus on ''Generations'' imaginary friend completely either, as long as it doesn't result any stub pages.

::I don't think the ''Makin' Magic''-related page would be a stub. Of course, this gets into a discussion of what constitutes a stub in the first place. While page length obviously is a factor in whether or not something is a stub, certainly if an article gives a comprehensive explanation of a feature, it couldn't be considered a stub. If we were to split the articles, the ''Makin' Magic''-related page, while short in length, would contain comprehensive information about TS:MM Imaginary Friends, and could stand on its own as a complete article.
::Additionally, there's a reason why I'd propose splitting this page and not, for example, the article on Nectar Making. Ultimately, the feature described in the TS:MM section of this article is fundamentally different from the feature described in the TS3:Gen section. In TS:MM, the imaginary friend is conjured by magic and is a temporary NPC. The TS3:Gen imaginary friend is much more complex and flushed-out and is a bona fide life state in its own right. The similarities between the two, aside from the name and the fact that both IFs are associated with child-aged Sims, are limited enough to where I see them as being two separate topics. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 23:32, February 27, 2015 (UTC)
