On a more general note, I don't understand why people are saying this will set a precedent. This is an extremely unique scenario that, as far as I know, has never been repeated. As I said previously, any other attempts to go against game manuals using this to support it would likely be comparing apples to oranges; they'd have to go through a proposal just like this one, and they would be supported or opposed on their own merits, not based on the outcome of this one. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 17:39, March 3, 2023 (EST) | On a more general note, I don't understand why people are saying this will set a precedent.

:I don't think the King Boo hypothetical is appropriate here, for two reasons: (1) I realise I'm being anal about the lang-of-origin aspect, which I noticed you disagreed with in the past, but I must state that the Japanese version of SM64DS [https://youtu.be/2eoNjlg0STY?t=3146 correctly identifies the character as "Kingu Teresa"], already rendering "Big Boo" improminent; and (2) outside of that, King Boo has had a vast amount of media and material, in various languages, that identified him as such, validating any fan rectification along the lines of "this character is called such in this game, which is wrong". As even you said, the Construction Site Fight sitch, with the sole two sources repeating the same (alleged, by wiki standards) error, is possibly the only instance of this thing in all of the media that falls under the site's coverage, and should any other identical situations surface, this proposal's outcome would apply to them as well. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 18:15, March 3, 2023 (EST) | :I don't think the King Boo hypothetical is appropriate here, for two reasons: (1) I realise I'm being anal about the lang-of-origin aspect, which I noticed you disagreed with in the past, but I must state that the Japanese version of SM64DS [https://youtu.be/2eoNjlg0STY?t=3146 correctly identifies the character as "Kingu Teresa"], already rendering "Big Boo" improminent; and (2) outside of that, King Boo has had a vast amount of media and material, in various languages, that identified him as such, validating any fan rectification along the lines of "this character is called such in this game, which is wrong".

@Glowsquid, out of curiosity, can you link to the SMRPG discussion, if there was any? {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 19:17, March 3, 2023 (EST) | @Glowsquid, out of curiosity, can you link to the SMRPG discussion, if there was any? {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 19:17, March 3, 2023 (EST) | ||
:I don't know of any discussion regarding ''SMRPG'' CamelCase, but there ''was'' [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/45#Move Mario Party 3 Duel Maps back to their old capitalization|a successful proposal]] to ignore the ALLCAPS-ification of ''Mario Party 3'' duel boards. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 19:27, March 3, 2023 (EST) | :I don't know of any discussion regarding ''SMRPG'' CamelCase, but there ''was'' [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/45#Move Mario Party 3 Duel Maps back to their old capitalization|a successful proposal]] to ignore the ALLCAPS-ification of ''Mario Party 3'' duel boards. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 19:27, March 3, 2023 (EST) |
