This proposal concerns merging the Cogs from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door into the Cog (obstacle) article. While Cogs do appear in various shapes and sizes and have differing roles, they are still the same generic object. This page has an issue where it only covers Cogs in the form of being obstacles, not in a wider variety of contexts, even though all of them being the same generic subject, cogs, just with roles essential to gameplay in the Super Mario franchise. Fireballs have had even more roles throughout the Super Mario franchise, yet the Fireball page covers them as not only objects that can be thrown by Fire Mario, but also as an item in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, as obstacles thrown by fire-elemental enemies like Fire Bros., and as moves in the role-playing games.
Cog (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins) is exempt from this proposal, since it's completely different from the cogs that are mechanical object. Should this proposal pass, the Cog disambiguation page will be overwritten, and we'll use the About template on the merged "Cog" page to link to the Cogs from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
Cogs in the Super Mario franchise have no traits setting them apart from their generic counterparts, aside from perhaps an unusual color or texture.

- Super Mario RPG (talk) Per my points given above.
- Camwoodstock (talk) - This is definitely long overdue. This is a pretty generic subject and having these all haphazardly split up just muddies the waters.
