Talk:Unlucky Space

Bad Luck Spaces
Bad Luck Spaces have a function significantly different from Unlucky Spaces in previous games, so maybe...split instead? 12:03, 12 October 2018 (EDT)
 * They have the same Japanese though. -- 12:04, 12 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Having the same Japanese name does not qualify for a merge by itself. 18:13, 12 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I agree, the Bad Luck Spaces are a lot more similar to Bowser Spaces than Unlucky Spaces. -- 21:05, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

Split Bad Luck Space and Extra Bad Luck Space
This stems from the discussion above.

Throughout all three games they appear in, Unlucky Spaces simply cause something bad to happen to the player who landed on it. Bad Luck Spaces, on the other hand, are more like successors to Bowser Spaces from previous games, as they force the player to spin an event roulette; also, as Mario jc pointed out, they even have different Japanese names from each other. I was considering splitting this out already, but Mario jc suggested I just start a proposal anyways to ensure everyone is on board with the split (as well as my previous undiscussed split of VS Space and Minigame Space).

Split; cover Bad Luck Space and Extra Bad Luck Space in separate articles

 * 1) My preferred option.
 * 2) Second choice.
 * 3) Read my comments.
 * 4) I prefer the Extra Bad Luck being split as it’s like a form the Bad Luck Space, given it coming at a different time. Regardless, the spaces should at least be split from this article, as they are entirely different with different names with no evidence of being the same.

Split; cover Bad Luck Space and Extra Bad Luck Space in the same article

 * 1) It's clearly closer to the Bowser Space than the Unlucky Space, so it really shouldn't be covered here. I don't think the Bad Luck and Extra Bad Luck Spaces are different enough to warrant two articles, though.
 * 2) - Per Waluigi Time.
 * 3) They're  clearly different from Unlucky Spaces, but I don't think the two are really different enough to be split, as one just has worse effects.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Per all

Keep merged

 * 1) JUST because they have a slightly different function, and English name does NOT mean they're not the same thing.

Comments
@FanOfYoshi Their function isn't "slightly" different from Unlucky spaces. Bad Luck Spaces are actually a lot more like Bowser Spaces.

I think there should be an option for merging this with Bowser Space. 22:59, October 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * I could be wrong though. It could be because the other Japanese names aren't noted that i oppose, though, this is speculation. -- 02:24, October 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Out of curiosity, can anyone check the filenames, even though it might spoil the filename? -- 02:37, October 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * If it turns out they have different Japanese name, would they be split into separate articles? -- 05:59, November 5, 2019 (EST)
 * Yes. Even if they had the same Japanese name, they're still different. 14:55, November 5, 2019 (EST)
 * Most of the consensus votes for them to be covered in the same article, so it's not really spliting. It's just reorganizing the article. What's the point of making a proposal if it's just to reorganize the page? I'd agree for a separate page then, even if we don't know the other type's Japanese name. -- 15:34, November 5, 2019 (EST)
 * It’s not, though. Bad Luck Space is being split from this page, and in the second option, the Extra Bad Luck Space is being covered on the newly split Bad Luck Space article. The Unlucky Space is still going to be in this article, and thus pages are being spit in both options one and two. 15:51, November 5, 2019 (EST)

Re-merge them
When I saw the split in the subject, I got angry. I disagree with this in every way. I know the Bad Luck spaces behave more like Bowser spaces, but they are still the opposite of the Lucky spaces. Plus, The Extra Bad Luck Spaces are even MORE like the Bowser Space. If you disagree with me, remember that I was the one to discover the Bad Luck Space's name similarity, and the opposition of the Lucky space.--Partier (talk) 21:18, February 10, 2020 (EST)
 * I don't see why Bad Luck Spaces being the opposite of Lucky Spaces means they should be re-merged. If you feel that strongly about it, you can start another proposal, but given that only one other user wanted them to stay merged I don't think it's going to change anything. -- 21:24, February 10, 2020 (EST)
