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)?
KEEP SPLIT 2-6

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 relative info into Yoshi (species), Little Yoshi and Fearsome 5
NO MERGE 1-4

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:
 * Yoshi (species)
 * Super Mario World
 * Yoshi's Story
 * Little Yoshi
 * Tetris Attack
 * Fearsome 5
 * Paper Mario

Subject of the article
ForeverDaisy's attempt to remove the section on the cartoon raises an interesting question: what exactly is the subject of this article? The introduction and most of the sections seem to indicate that the article is meant to cover the biological aspect of a Yoshi in its infant stage, and how infant Yoshi are depicted in various media.

However, some of the sections (such as the above mentioned cartoon section) are written with the focus more on the character rather than the presentation of the character's biology. I think we should re-write the article to avoid this focus on the characters rather than the biology; however, as per my above proposal, more than a few people seem to think this article is about Baby Yoshi (the character) rather than infant Yoshi. Any thoughts? Redstar 22:31, 4 March 2010 (EST)

I don't get why you undid the edit then. ForeverDaisy09 23:13, 4 March 2010 (EST)
 * Because it was an example of an infant Yoshi in the cartoon. Rather than simply being removed it should be refocused. Redstar 23:17, 4 March 2010 (EST)
 * No, it is a section about Yoshi from the cartoon in baby form. The mentioned proposal made it so that baby characters from cartoons could not be associated with video-game counterparts. ForeverDaisy09 00:21, 5 March 2010 (EST)
 * You're not getting it. This article is about the biological state of infant Yoshi. The character Yoshi was an infant in the cartoon. That section is meant to point out the characteristics of an infant Yoshi in the cartoon, of which the character Yoshi is the only example. Rather than being removed, it should be refocused to make the example more clear along the lines of the articles subject. Redstar 00:52, 5 March 2010 (EST)
 * Uhh... the Baby Yoshi in the cartoon was the infant version of Yoshi too.
 * That's exactly my point. Redstar 04:20, 12 March 2010 (EST)
 * Ohhh. I get what you mean. Yeah, I agree with Redstar.

Split from Baby Yoshi
NO QUORUM

Some sections explain the Baby Yoshi as a species (like the Super Mario World one), and this article should only explain the characters Baby Yoshi. There was a proposal splitting the Yellow Toad page, and this is the exact thing I am doing here.

"Paper mario series" section
Do we really need that? 23:57, 14 May 2010 (EDT)

Why not?
