Talk:Baby Yoshi

Are you kidding?! The Yoshis in Yoshi's Story are tiny!!!

They grow up to adult if they eat any item, try to do it with a mushroom or feather.

The Yoshis in Yoshi's Story aren't Baby Yoshis. --Xeze 13:31, 13 February 2008 (EST)
 * They are. The intro refer to them as such. --Blitzwing 13:47, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Merge to Yoshi (species)?
The information on this page doesn't necessarily merit an individual article. Baby Yoshi aren't a species, sub-species, or even a form; they're simply infant Yoshi. This article amounts to no more than a list of appearances of infant or child Yoshi in different media, but dresses it up in a flashy way with lots of pictures. A similar issue was brought up and proposed not too long ago, about knowing the difference between characters as infants, and the Baby characters. The two are not one and the same, and this was understood and the two separated per that proposal.

Because of all this, I feel the relevant information on this page should be merged into the Yoshi (species) article. It would fit appropriately under the Biology section, and result in a much more comprehensive article on the subject. It should also be noted that none of the images found on this page would be lost due to this proposed merge. In fact, all the images are taken from other articles for the purpose of filling up this page. Nothing serious will be lost, except for a list, if you find that important.

Merge to Yoshi (species)

 * 1) - Per proposal
 * 2) Per Redstar. I split Blue toad for you FYI.

Leave un-merged

 * 1) I am Zero! I changed my mind, Baby Yoshis seem to have a slightly different role in mario games then regular yoshis. Zero signing out.
 * 2) The same could be said about Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and the like.
 * 3) Baby Yoshi is treated like a separate character in some parts of the article. Merging a "separate character" with the species sounds strange.
 * 4) Baby Yoshi is totally different from regular Yoshi.

Comments
@Reversinator, LeftyGreenMario, and Supermariofan14: You all seem to think this proposal is about merging Baby Yoshi (character) into Yoshi (character). This is not what this proposal is attempting to do. It instead attempting to merge the infant stage of Yoshi into the Yoshi as a race page, which covers biology. Infant Yoshi are a stage in Yoshi biology, so keeping the information unmerged is needless. This proposal is nothing like merging Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, etc. into their adult forms.

 * Well, I still stand up for what I previously said, Baby Yoshi is a character.

I'm not participating in this proposal because the Baby Yoshi article is like the Metal Mario article before it got split and the Yellow Toad article.
 * @Supermariofan14: Umm, no. Not every infant Yoshi is the character Baby Yoshi. Redstar 01:08, 3 March 2010 (EST)
 * No, but all the babies are still characters, and should be treated equally.
 * That's not really true. This article is about the biological state of a Yoshi as an infant, not a collection of information on infant Yoshi characters. They can be treated "equally" on their respective articles; not here. Redstar 04:45, 4 March 2010 (EST)
 * And the other articles are about the biological of the other characters as infants. See, concistency rules here.

Merge relative info into Yoshi (species), Little Yoshi and Fearsome 5
As Redstar states above, we need to merge info where Baby Yoshi was considered a species. But, in Paper Mario, there was 5 baby yoshis called the Fearsome 5, and In Tetris Attack, there is a yellow Little Yoshi. The info can be merged into the respective articles. Sections are split into: *Little Yoshi
 * Yoshi (species)
 * Super Mario World
 * Yoshi's Story
 * Tetris Attack
 * Fearsome 5
 * Paper Mario

Proposer: Deadline: March 17 2010, 23:00

Oppose

 * 1) Little Yoshi redirects to Baby Yoshi and the Fearsome 5 are very important characters and have a lot of info. If we do this, then we'd have to merge all the Glitz Pit Battle Teams into their respective articles, such as Craw Daddy.
 * 2) Per Gamefreak75.

Why did you make this proposal when mine, just above, is proposing essentially the same exact thing? Redstar 01:08, 3 March 2010 (EST)
 * No it isn't. It is going to merge the Paper Mario info into the Fearsome 5.
 * The Paper Mario section of this article wasn't covering the Fearsome 5 as characters, but by their role as baby Yoshi. (If that isn't entirely clear, then the section should be re-written to make the coverage of that role more obvious)


 * In any case, my proposal only received its deadline today, so it was well within its limits to be amended or expanded. You could have simply asked rather then make another too-similar proposal and confuse any potential voters for either. Redstar 01:19, 3 March 2010 (EST)
 * But aren't there many baby yoshis in the Fearsome 5???
 * That's kinda the reason why they're mentioned on here. Redstar 01:31, 3 March 2010 (EST)
 * This is Baby Yoshi (character), not baby Yoshis.
 * No, it's not. The main focus of this article is on infant (baby) Yoshi, not Baby Yoshi the character, whom is a Star Child. Information on both are on here because Baby Yoshi (character) doesn't have enough information to hold its own. Redstar 01:40, 3 March 2010 (EST)

Baby Yoshi should appear in more games/spinoffs
The only info are in somewhat like the info format in Blue Toad, just that Blue Toad has more info.
