Template talk:Conjecture

Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia issue
A discussion in Discord with Camwood777 about Pattan's name in the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia had me double-check the page, and I noticed something we should probably clarify in this template. As it is now, it reads "If an official name appears, it is requested that the article should be moved to the correct name." Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. is, for all intents and purposes, an official source of information; it's just not one we recognize due to the heavily "borrowed" content it uses from us.

Wondering if we should change the sentence to read this: "If an official name appears that is not from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, it is requested that the article should be moved to the correct name.", with a link to Naming to clarify why we don't source them.

This will also be for the line in Template:Another language.

Support

 * 1) - I realize some users may just ignore reading the template and template information altogether, but that's their problem.
 * 2) - I agree on this, although there could be future examples of more sources that take names from Super Mario Wiki.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) I'm all for this clarification. Per all.

Comments
I was actually considering creating a proposal to make one exception to how the wiki handles Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia (namely the Super Mario Land 2 course names, which are just over a page-worth of direct translations that seems the least likely content to have been taken from elsewhere), but if this proposal passes then I'll probably nix it.
