Talk:Vampire Wario

Split Vampire Wario and Vampire Bat Wario into separate articles
NO QUORUM 2-0

Vampire Wario and Vampire Bat Wario (aka Bat Wario) are extremely similar, but as the latter suggests, Wario only gains the powers of his bat form. Moreover, the transformation in Wario Land 4 doesn't apply to two categories at the bottom of the current article: Shapeshifters and (necessarily) Undead, which is more of a fit for the Wario Land 3 incarnation. It's not too different from, say, Raccoon Mario and the original Tanooki Mario, where they have the same basic powers but one has an additional move over the other.

Proposer: Deadline: December 21, 2014, 23:59 GMT.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) I think a split is pretty much needed since being a vampire that can transform to a bat and being only a bat are two slightly different, but noteworthy things.

Comments
Just for clarity, are we going to mention Vampire Bat Wario in both articles, or are we moving relevant information from Vampire Wario to Vampire Bat Wario? 17:23, 11 December 2014 (EST)
 * Basically, since Vampire Bat Wario is really a similar but separate form in Wario Land 4 (especially since there's no actual "vampiric" transformation involved like in Wario Land 3), the idea is to move the Wario Land 4 info away from the Wario Land 3/Dr. Mario 64 stuff. Although it may not be be a bad idea for the articles to have a note at the top saying that they're not to be confused with each other. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:01, 13 December 2014 (EST)

Split Vampire Wario and Vampire Bat Wario into separate articles redux
PASSED 5-1

See above for reasons; it was short two votes, but I'm giving it another chance to reach an actual conclusion.

Proposer: Deadline: January 5, 2015, 23:59 GMT.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Per all, including the above proposal.
 * 3) Per proposal. The only thing that concerns me is that the articles may be too short, but I think that they could work.
 * 4) - My knee-jerk reaction was to leave it merged since the forms overlap so much, but I suppose the different names forces our hands. Still, it's a very hard call: if I hadn't resolved to try and vote on all the TPPs this round, I probably would've just abstained.

Oppose

 * 1) Bat Wario seems like a different version of the form to me, not a different form altogether. The difference between this and Raccoon/Tanooki Mario stated in the older proposal is that they appear in different games. Just as Ice Mario remains a single page despite the form having radically different operation between Galaxy and NSMBW, this should remain one page.

Comments
You probably need to ask some people to vote or have an opinion. No, I wasn't thinking of fishing people for votes, but I believe that your proposal was overlooked, or maybe people were swamped by those other proposals. :P 16:46, 22 December 2014 (EST)
 * Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to help spread the word a bit (as long as it isn't considered cheating or whatever). But yeah, I admit, maybe a bit overboard on those proposals there, but figured it's better to get more concensus out of the way.. LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:22, 22 December 2014 (EST)
 * Actually, you're not allowed to solicit votes. I didn't vote on anything because, yeah, there were so many right at once and I didn't have time to properly read up on wach one right away, and then I kept putting off / forgetting to get back to it (two weeks seems like plenty of time to circle back to things - but then it's suddenly past deadline). Maybe stagger the proposals a bit more next time. Anyway, I'll try to vote on things this time - I'm starting to have more free time again. - 20:19, 23 December 2014 (EST)

Well, you might need another run, LinkTheLefty. Third time's the charm, I guess. 17:09, 3 January 2015 (EST)

@Person-who's-username-I-forgot-but-opposed-it. The thing with the Ice Marios is that they share an official name. Racoon, Tanooki, like the proposed, are different names with different moves. Toad   and his brigade!  17:56, 4 January 2015 (EST)

@YoshiK: I think the articles will be at a decent length. 18:06, 4 January 2015 (EST)
 * Yea that's the conclusion I came to, sorry if I was unclear about that. It was just a minor concern I had. 21:03 4 January 2015 (EST)

Names in Other Languages
The Names in Other Languages section is very confusing right now. It lists "(Wario Land 3)" in the meaning column for all the Vampire Wario names and includes several translations for "bat" with no explanation (I'm guessing those might be for his bat form...?). Either way, I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me and something might have gotten lost along the way.---vellidragon (talk) 18:06, December 19, 2021 (EST)
