== Re:Spike Bar/Spike Roller ==
Would you believe that all of those different behavioral types you mentioned are considered the same spiked roller object? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 08:18, 15 May 2018 (EDT)
==Re:Images==
You see, a large number of gifs really makes the website look like one just disappeared, and that too many gifs make something like that to happen. I'm sorry, but I assure you that all the gifs I added are all fine. It's just so hard explaining errors sometimes...
Also, I layed out the sprites on ezgif.com and animated them without cropping. Plus, the internet connection was a bit too slow for me...so I don't know what.

== Re:Pete (+ Fryguy) ==
[[Talk:Flopsy Fish|Flopsy Fish]] was merged with Cheep Cheep due to the identical name and more traditional design, but the behavior differences with Piscatory Pete sets it apart. I think the fact that the Shogakukan ''Super Mario Advance 3'' guide gave them both separate entries is reason enough to keep them as their own articles, considering the same guide is somewhat selective and doesn't do the same for others such as the different-colored Bullet Bills or Potted Spiked Fun Guy. The green Cheep Cheep in ''Yoshi's New Island'' is in a similar situation, but trickier - it's also given a separate enemy entry in the Shogakukan guide, but this wiki [[Talk:Koopa Troopa#Split Red Koopa Troopa and Green Koopa Troopa|usually doesn't separate enemy variants based on color]] (though [[Red Paragoomba]] seems to be an exception). Considering it a Deep Cheep is a way to keep them in separate articles without breaking that rule, since the game files '''do''' actually indicate that the developers consider it a Deep Cheep (although, as noted, their attack pattern is different - still closer than ''Super Mario Maker'', but it moves up and down as it swims left without regard to the player's position, whereas the red Cheep Cheeps in submarine sections simply move directly left as they usually do). Unfortunately, filenames and Shogakukan appear to contradict each other here, and there's no other official source to my knowledge, nor is the green Deep Cheep's design exactly transformative enough like Bat or Morty Mole.
On another note, I noticed your edit on [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Fryguy&curid=3238&diff=2439220&oldid=2434715 Fryguy.] I've been meaning to rewrite part of the [[Fryguy (species)|species]] article for some time, but according to it: "''once a Mushroomer is exposed to extreme amounts of heat, it will metamorphose into a Fryguy, becoming increasingly destructive and dangerous.''" I checked out the original story, [[Beauty and the Beach]], and as far as I can tell, this explanation dating back from the article's creation is filling in the blanks (in fact, the most they ever say about it is literally right {{media link|Beautybeachpage.jpg|here}}). Does the volcano have special properties that turn victims into Fryguys? Who knows, and frankly, I don't think the writers put very much thought into it or realized anyone would care enough to bring up "[[Musher]]" biology on a ''Mario'' wiki years later. It could be there there's more than one way to make a Fryguy; either way, as the end of the species article states, the cartoon (which the comics and books were often loosely based on) seems to be where the idea of more than one Fryguy originated, and since the cartoon calls it ''a'' Fryguy, logically it's a Fryguy. Let's call a spade a spade, no? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:30, 24 May 2018 (EDT)
:I might agree if the article was just about the game boss, but it's also about appearances in other media in general. It's almost like removing Kong from the Donkey Kong infobox because the other members came later, which is technically true but really comes across as splitting hairs. ''Zelda Wiki'' simply does things a little differently; for example, they still consider [[Zeldawiki:ReDead Knight|ReDead Knight]]s to be their own thing and not the ''Twilight Princess'' interpretation of [[Zeldawiki:Gibdo|Gibdo]]s, which is confirmed in English sources through ''Hyrule Warriors'' but that apparently doesn't count because of their stance on canon. That reminds me: Mouser should probably have a species article if Fryguy has one due to the Nintendo Comics System.

::I seem to remember '''one''' line in the "A Mouser in the Houser" issue referring to them as Mousers, but that could be mistaken. The thing about Mouser is that even though the boss encounters were palette-swapped in the original version, ''BS Super Mario USA'' treats it as one character (and incidentally treats the three colored Birdos as separate ones), and so does every other bit of media to my knowledge, so my impression is that Mouser is in a similar situation to the also-recurring Tryclyde. I gather it's kind of up in the air, though. Those ''Yoshi's New Island'' file names look good, by the way. (And although I find it rather worrying that they would drag out the dreaded Dragmire debate out of nowhere, I agree that the revised ''Zelda'' website is overall better than the [[Zeldawiki:Community:Zelda.com#Bad_reputation_amongst_fans|old one]].)

== Re: Is this allowed? ==
My knowledge mostly involves screenshots, 3D renders, and sprites, at least spotting places it can stand to do better. Game art is not something I specialize in, unless I can trace the original source myself, which I have with only a handful of images and any images archived on [[bulbapedia:PidgiWiki|PidgiWiki]]. I also try to enforce proposal outcomes, such as the poor transparency and image format conversion proposals, but that is now covered by [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|our policy]]. Otherwise, I am rather more relaxed with those kinds of images. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 23:34, 24 May 2018 (EDT)
:Still, I am rather inexperienced in that regard. In cases like that, I would rather not modify a thing. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 23:38, 24 May 2018 (EDT)
== RE: After a few RE's: Identifiers ==
I still think it can go without the specificity as it is the more well-known title and has been released on multiple other platforms since its original arcade release (most notably the NES only a short time after, which I'm sure was the more popular platform for the game). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:04, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

I must have missed that message. ...Oops. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 10:24, 27 May 2018 (EDT)
:I'll also point out that 7feetunder marked the proposal as implemented after he split out the ''Wario: Master of Disguise'' info, so I naturally assumed he was done. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 10:34, 27 May 2018 (EDT)
== Obstacles ==
Even so, I would still like to see a wider discussion concerning [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Template:DKCTF&curid=170518&diff=2441233&oldid=2441227 this]. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 08:54, 29 May 2018 (EDT)
:To add: The truth is, some hazards are interchangeably treated as enemies and obstacles ([[Bullet Bill]]s are usually treated as obstacles, though they are actual enemies in the RPGs, and one speech-capable Bullet Bill character exists in ''Mario Party Advance''.). {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 09:01, 29 May 2018 (EDT)
:::Yeah, maybe [[Bill Blaster]] is a better example. It's treated as an obstacle in the ''Super Mario'' series and as an enemy in the RPGs. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 17:09, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

== RE:Identifier ==
Yeah, I ''do'' know Boomer is a bear to some extent; I just used that example to show that nothing is confirmed about his species. Frankly, it wasn't my best argument, but in four franchises where species are inconsistent with each other (I'm sure you know a good example off the top of your head), Boomer's species is probably not a bear, but rather something considered a bear in their world. Also, I'm not sure if "Brothers Bear" can be used, since that's an organization, not a species. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 09:26, 8 June 2018 (EDT)
== RE: Smash image category ==
Because it was [[:Category:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Images|created separately]], not moved. I think it should have been moved, but the user likely didn't know about its existence - it really doesn't matter either way. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:00, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
== Glimmer the Tadpole Fish ==
Judging by the German artwork (and even the in-game model, actually), the Glimmer in DK64 appears to be some sort of fish-tadpole hybrid or an evolutionary step between fish and amphibians that somehow made it into modern times. It's obvious in that he (it?) has a tadpole-specific tail, but also pelvic fins. For the record, these traits, complete with the fact that the "Lightfish" Glimmer is carrying a lamp and doesn't have a bioluminescent appendage like Glimmer Anglerfish, are enough to keep them split. I think this biological discrepancy between the two Glimmers is worth mentioning in their articles. What are your thoughts? -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 06:17, 13 June 2018 (EDT)
:You want to give me a heart attack?!<br>I still think the Lightfish is supposed to be closer to those prehistoric {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobe-finned fish}} than anglerfish. Again, the Lightfish does not display a natural rod of some sort on its "forehead", it's clearly an accessory. That is enough to exclude the possibility of him being an aglerfish, because he, well, cannot angle. -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 06:31, 13 June 2018 (EDT)
::My scenario is that Glimmer the Anglerfish's original model was quickly reshaped to look closer to Lightfish's in-game model after the editors of the German guide demanded a proper artwork render of the character from the developers. I think the Lightfish was supposed to be a different character altogether from the get-go, but there's also the possibility they simply changed Glimmer's design as in the examples you brought up. I think it would be best to merge the two articles to avoid overcomplicating things--I seriously doubt the developers thought whether changing the character's species with something millions of years apart on the evolutionary scale would affect his identity. -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 06:49, 13 June 2018 (EDT)
== Wanted to run this by you first... ==
I was thinking last night about [[Rogueport]] and the [[Pianta]]s that live there. It hit me that the Piantas being part of a crime syndicate is a reference to Italian-American gangsters, especially since Rogueport seems to be based on an economically polarized northeastern U.S. city (probably somewhere in Massachusetts) and [[Isle Delfino]] draws several inspirations from Italy. My issue is that this seems kind of controversial (bringing up a specific ethnic group). Considering our history, it wouldn't feel right adding this to the Rogueport page, and I figured that since you came to me to reach a compromise on Kachuka (btw, you can revert my edit whenever you want), that I'd come to you to reach common ground. This seems like a big piece of info (one of TTYD's many cultural references), but at the same time seems really risky since I'd have to bring up an ethnic group which is uncommon if not non-existent on the wiki. What do you think? [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 23:13, 15 June 2018 (EDT)
==RE: Deep Cheep==
I can't actually remember doing this, but I think that you made your second change during the time I edited it myself, so I edited the version with your first change.

== Peach/Toadstool on Super Mario Advance. ==
For the first time when referring to her we use "Princes Toadstool" (as she is referred to in the original NES Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario All-Stars versions) to be more respectful. We then note that she is simply referred to as "Peach" in the game in the Textual changes. --[[Special:Contributions/99.227.180.3|99.227.180.3]] 19:50, 26 June 2018 (EDT)
== Re:''Jungle Beat'' boss species ==
I was thinking of bringing it up in a talk page since I noticed those names from the site after the fact. The only reservation I have is that the current names have more obvious connections to their respective derived enemy mooks that these alternate names naturally lose (namely the Mini Slump Birds and Mini Elephant Cannons, and Coco Pigs are also similar to Goro Pigs). However, internal files are considered development names (lowest priority) as opposed to in-game sources (highest priority), so title deference according to naming policy would go to the website - though there might as well be a new article for the Evil Kings separate from Kongs on top of that.

I also have found an artwork depicting a white Sluggy with red cheeks and pink spots. Sorry for the bad orientation, but this and Yoshi's New Island are all i have.

::True, even most of the characters have color discrepancies.
* Cloud Drop: It face looks like  the Lava Drop's face in the artwork, but it sprite depicts them differently.
*Crazee Dayzee: Their feet were shown to be pink.
*Sluggy: It was a white color with red cheeks, pink spot and eyelashes, but had a shading, lacked cheeks and those spots were redder.
*Bumpty: In an artwork, it was just a recolor of the Raven.
*Poochy: Some depictions depict his spikes on the collar yellow, but are in the artwork, Tetris Attack, early Paper Mario, and Super Mario Odyssey a white color.
*Eggo-Dil: The artwork depicted it hairless, with orange petals, a beige face and round red cheeks. The sprites depict them with yellow petals, 3 hairs on it head, pink face, and darker pink swirl shaped cheeks. Tetris Attack used the same design but lacked hair just like in their artwork.
*Huffin Puffin: Their feet are yellow in their artwork, but the sprites have a different color. In Yoshi's Story, they are green and they have legs.
*Fang: They are purple in their artwork.
:Barney Bubble: They were white with red feet on their artwork, though the sprite had different colors.
*Cheep Cheep: An artwork depicted them in red, though the fins were white.
*Stretch (Shy Guy): They had hair in their sprite, but the Super Mario Kun cover depicts them bald. The drawer may hasn't noticed these hairs.
*Zeus Guy: In it artwork, it had beige gloves, but in their sprite, they were white. This is likely due to the graphical limitation. Yoshi's New Island had their arm and gloves color inverted.
*Salvo the Slime: He was beige in his artwork (both beige and light blue in the artwork in this wiki) but was green in the sprites.

== About Roger Lift ==
「ロジャー」 is a direct transliteration of the name Roger (or the word lodger, but that somehow makes less sense to me), though I feel like I'm missing an obvious meaning or pun. The only thing I can think of is that it could possibly be loosely referring to the Jolly Roger since it's made of water instead of a spirit like Blarggwich. The ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide doesn't give it a proper name; the closest it does is a generic mention in the first sentence under the heading "'''TOWER OF WATER'''" on page 34 about Salvo The Slime's Castle: "''Jump on the liquid lift for a counterclockwise tour of the castle's basement.''" I believe Time Turner has a copy of the ''Super Mario Advance 3'' guide if you want to ask if it changed. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:20, 6 July 2018 (EDT)

== Re:Harry Hedgehog illustration ==
That scan comes from [https://hit930.sakura.ne.jp/hitjapan/book10/P140929101.JPG this book,] which is not from Shogakukan; the Shogakukan guide for the Super Famicom version is [https://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/funfunhomes/boko0005gm15531x19508.html this] [https://www.ebay.com/itm/YOSSY-ISLAND-Nintendo-Official-Guide-SFC-Book-SG34/311796459208 one.] However, if you look at the scans, you'll see that it doesn't appear to have the artwork you're looking for, whereas the first book has it. Shogakukan is preferred because it's reliably a Nintendo licensee, but the first book also has a Nintendo copyright on it, so it seems like it's official as well. Also, you can see [https://hit930.sakura.ne.jp/hitjapan/book11/P150130315.JPG here] that the Slime enemy is referred to as "Block Slime" and [https://hit930.sakura.ne.jp/hitjapan/book11/P150130316.JPG here] in the top-right corner that Harry Hedgehog's name starts with "Super" - which calls into question the alternate names they have in another book (and puts others such as Lantern Ghost on notice). Basically, while both of these guides in particular are official, we should probably start being more selective and make sure that all third-party sources are properly licensed, since it's entirely possible that we've allowed the citation of unofficial Japanese guides.

== About Bamboo Dancers ==
The reason I changed it from derived species of Spear Guy is because of the edits going around shortening the lists of derived species to immediate derivatives, and while Dancing Spear Guy is blatantly derived from Spear Guy, Bamboo Dancers looked like it was sorely missing from the Shy Guy article. I've already added it as a related species on the Dancing Spear Guy article, with which it has the most similarities, so it shouldn't need to be on both. On that note, Hulu is called a Bamboo Dancer in Japanese (and, as far as I'm aware, doesn't use a spear).

[[File:SMW2 YI Grinder.png|thumb|left|Note how the Ukiki's lower jaw was by mistake though, colored in brown instead of beige.]] Also, for Salvo, i've found an official [https://hit930.sakura.ne.jp/hitjapan/book10/P140929106.JPG artwork] depicting the battle. --[[Special:Contributions/83.156.220.80|83.156.220.80]] 02:51, 18 July 2018 (EDT)
::Yes, i notice. We should also note that the official artwork of Salvo the Slime (showing the battle as an artwork) anyways depicts Salvo green instead of beige. Notably, sometimes, it's not only the color, it's the design. Take exemple on the Melon Bug, it has big eyes with sclera and small pupils in the artwork with either blue or yellow stripes on it body depending on the artwork, but has beady black eyes on the sprite and the stripes are yellow instead. Cloud Drops have the same face that Lava Drop do in the artwork (likely a recolor of the Lava Drop only looking at the different side) but in-game it face is different. Yoshi's Island DS oddly put the same face on the Cloud Drop of the Lava Drop and in Yoshi Touch and Go, but Yoshi's New Island and Yoshi's Woolly World along with Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly, Cloud Drops retain their face from the game. Also, Mace Guys have black Maces with white spikes on their artwork, but in-game, they are light blue with yellow spikes. I know we already discuted about that though. Yoshi's New Island redesigns [[Dancing Spear Guy|Dancing Spear Guys]] in term of color, the mark on their mask are green along with their shoes which are green too. --[[Special:Contributions/83.156.220.80|83.156.220.80]] 03:21, 18 July 2018 (EDT)

Yeah I was watching a video when compiling the sprite into an animation with GIMP, so I couldn't really see the different sprite. I'll update it if I get the chance, but if you're willing to update it, be my guest.

I think classifying a derivative even if "conceptual" is valid here.

== Re:Super Mario: The first 30 years ==
I'm sure part of the reason for the delay was quality control, so I have faith that the localization will be less stiff than ''Art & Artifacts''. Although, speaking of that book, I do find the fact that several Zelda Wiki editors replaced a lot of existing references with it and further claimed that the alternate names are "no longer considered canon"  to be a little silly, given there's a recent "Helmhead Bridge" in ''Breath of the Wild'' and, like many other landmarks in the game, is clearly named after a previous figure in the series (in this case, Helmethead was chosen instead of Jermafenser). I wonder if they're aware of that? Also, doesn't it make more sense maintain the earliest source of the name? Oh well. At any rate, if those names don't get new localizations and the translation ends up just like ''Art & Artifacts'', at least it'll still remove some outstanding foreign tags and probably a few macrons.

Also, to be a bit blunt, when have I said you should "always agree with Porplemontage"? I only said that he disagreed with you due to a message he actually left on his talk page saying he's not fond of your proposal, and never meant to say that "you are entitled to agree with him", especially since I've disagreed with him a few times before myself.

Okay, due to our little... "debate" on the Solid Snake page regarding the trivia section, I think I'll post a list of each game in the Bayonetta, Metal Gear, and Castlevania franchise, as well as what rating they were.
;Bayonetta
*Bayonetta (M)
*Bayonetta 2 (M)
;Metal Gear
*Metal Gear (M/NR)*
*Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (M/NR)*
*Metal Gear Solid (M)
*Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (E)
*Metal Gear Solid: Integral (M)

*Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (M)
*Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (M)
*Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (M)
*Metal Gear Acid (M)
*Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (M)
*Metal Gear Acid 2 (M)
*Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (M)
*Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus (T)

*Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (M)
*Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (M)
*Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience (M)
*Metal Gear Survive (M)
<nowiki>*</nowiki>The games weren't rated at the initial release, although it is counted as an "M" rating due to being included in ''Subsistence''.
;Castlevania
*Castlevania/Vampire Killer (E)
*Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (E)
*Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (E)
*Super Castlevania IV: (E)
*Castlevania Chronicles (T)

*Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (T)
*Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (T)
*Castlevania: Judgment (T)
*Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (T)
*Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (M)
*Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate (M)
*Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (M)
<nowiki>*</nowiki>While it didn't have an ESRB rating until later on, it was later given this rating when put onto the Virtual Console)
As you can see, the Bayonetta franchise is exclusively M-rated games, with not even one game with a lower rating than that, whether E, E10, T, heck, even KA or EC. Metal Gear has a slightly better track record by having one E rated game and two T-rated games, but even that is majority M-rated games. By stark contrast, we only have two actual M-rated games in the Castlevania series, five if we count the Lords of Shadow games, while the vast majority are T-ratings, with a smattering of E or K-A in between (which depending on whether one counts the Lords of Shadow games either outnumbers/is equal to the M-rated games or is outnumbered by the same). Hence, Castlevania is ''not'' an M-rated franchise. At most, it's a T-rated franchise. So we can't count Simon and Richter Belmont and their franchise as an "M"-rated series.

:The exact words of that Trivia point wasn't "a series with M-Rated games", it was "M-rated series". There's a difference between the two, as the former, as you said, has the mean being irrelevant (only requires that it at least have one M-rated game), while the latter has the mean being very much relevant due to it effectively implying just from the word choice that the vast majority, if not all of the games are M-rated.

[https://tcrf.net/File:SMW2BonusShy.gif This] animation? Well, it was intended to be for the normal Shy Guys. The sprites look nearly identical to Woozy Guys, but open-legs and mouth were instead used for the spear guys, Stretch uses copy of these. For the normal Shy Guy, well the open-leg and mouth, you see the additional black pixel? Well, this Shy Guy sprite was unused due to the black pixel. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 02:35, 2 October 2018 (EDT)

== Re: Super Mario Land (series) ==
My idea was turning it into a disambiguation page, much like the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series currently has. I don't think we need pages for sub-series of sub-series, since most ''Super Mario'' titles fall into one of those (''Bros.'', ''Land'', ''New Super'', ''Galaxy'', ''3D''), but a disambiguation page could help clear up some of the confusion. Admittedly, the whole status of the ''Super Mario Land'' games is kinda confusing, but I feel that it'll be for the better once we escape this weird transitional period. --[[User:CompliensCreator|CompliensCreator]] ([[User talk:CompliensCreator|talk]]) 13:58, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
:Is there anything officially connecting those to the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games? If not, keep them on their own page for the time being. If there's a source that confirms them to be part of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, however, I say merge those titles into that. --[[User:CompliensCreator|CompliensCreator]] ([[User talk:CompliensCreator|talk]]) 14:07, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
==re: First ban = 1 week? ==
I'll be honest here: the subject of ban length was brought up in the community discord and the topic naturally spilled over to TTA's ban. Agreeing with the notion that 2 weeks may be a little too lengthy as a first time ban for a well-meaning veteran contributor, I (''too'') quickly made the decision to lower it without really consulting anyone beside the one other sysop that was in the room at the time. When I came back this morning, other admins pointed out to me that [[MarioWiki:Blocking policy]] states 2 weeks for the exact scenario at hand and that you had been given the full two weeks ban for it.
So yeah, ''I'' messed up. I regret not doing the same when you were blocked, or take yours into the account before making my decision. I realize apologies may not mean much because the whole situation really is quite unfair to you, and for that I am truly sorry. But over the coming weeks, I'll try to make the case to halve the sentence precognized by the blocking policy because I really do think two weeks instead of one is  a bit much for the first block of a veteran editor, wheter it's you, Toadette the Achiever, or anyone else. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 11:48, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

:The manual also says "Speak to Toad" under "How to Save", and the website refers to him (at least the one in the foyer) as such as well. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:20, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

==re:your Jumpman entry on the Urban Legends page==
The claim that "''the name "Jumpman" in regards to this game was only ever used in the American cabinet operation manual intended solely for arcade owners and employees''" is not quite true: "Jumpman" is also used multiple times in the [https://imgur.com/GgGz1gn marquee card] that came with some iterations of the cabinet (it's taped to the side of [https://www.arcade-museum.com/images/107/1076953837.jpg the cocktail cabinet for instance]) where it's more clearly a proper name. There's some merit to having an entry about how the "Mario was originally Jumpman!!" thing is a bit overstated so I'll let you edit the entry accordingly. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 10:22, 22 October 2018 (EDT)

== Species ==
There was [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_47#Do_Something_With_Game-Specific_Species_Categories|a proposal]] to use the species category for non-hostile species only, to avoid overlap with the enemy categories. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:20, 30 October 2018 (EDT)
:The point of the proposal was that for the purposes of categorization, species and enemies are distinct from each other. Otherwise a plethora of pages would be on the species category. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:26, 30 October 2018 (EDT)
::There's a reason that [[:Category:Donkey Kong Species]], [[:Category:Wario Species]], and [[:Category:Yoshi Species]] are under the list of affected categories. The birds category is in no way relevant to that proposal. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:35, 30 October 2018 (EDT)

:::::How? It's not valid information since enemies and species are distinct, and the point of the proposal was to exempt enemies from species categories. I should know, the proposal stems from a discussion between Niiue and I. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:47, 30 October 2018 (EDT)
::::::There's a reason that the voting options only stated "species categories" and nothing more specific than that. The language of the proposal primarily discusses game-specific species because those were the most prevalent categories, but saying that every enemy necessarily needs to appear in the main species category on a technicality is unhelpful. And what do you mean by "wide range of meanings"? The meaning of the categories was exactly what was voted on. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:57, 30 October 2018 (EDT)
To be frank, your arguments are leaving me confused with how many haphazard elements are being brought up without a natural cohesion between them (especially when bosses are [[:Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Bosses|subcategorized]] under characters which isn't even relevant to this discussion). The original proposal is what it is; if you want to argue against it, the best way to do that would be to lay out all of your arguments in a proposal. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 13:06, 30 October 2018 (EDT)
:Unless you plan to add every single enemy to the top-level species category, you're taking a technicality to an extreme. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 13:21, 30 October 2018 (EDT)
