Talk:Cog

Split the two Cogs into separate articles
The item from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and the items from Donkey Kong Country 3 are obviously supposed to be different. That should be plainly obvious by the fact that they're not even from the same series, let alone the same genre, but one is an individual item whereas the other one is collected in bulk, one is used for a crane machine while the other is used to awaken a volcano, one is obtained as a reward for level competion and the other is just sitting on a shelf... Elevator Key has already set a precedent for splitting items that are obviously not supposed to be the same thing, and this should be no different. Also, MarioWiki:Good writing already discusses how stuffing every remotely similar subject into one article is not good regardless of how related they actually are; let's adhere to that.

At the very least, I find it worth noting that both are used to activate a crane. However, the one in TTYD was obviously not intended to invoke the ones from the sort of-obscure DKC3. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:58, 3 October 2017 (EDT)
