Names in Other Languages organization for Mario episodes
I've been getting a little tired of seeing the Latin American and Spanish names of Mario episodes in one row, like this:

The same goes for Portuguese names. This also counts for rows like this:

In case of that one, I would edit it in a way that makes it result in this:

So one of the decisions I made about it is to separate the Spanish/Portuguese language rows from one another, in a way that looks like this:

I already did this to most, if not all, of the Mario episode articles. But you can help contribute to this.

Proposer: Deadline: November 11, 2015, 23:59 GMT.

Support

 * 1) I support this, considering that I am the one who proposed this.

Oppose

 * 1) "NOA" and "NOE" are the wrong abbreviations to use, implying that Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe played a hand in the localization, and that's not true. The explanations in the section do their jobs well enough. If something like the Latin and Spain language differences are a problem, then we should change the templates themselves. The NOA and NOE parameters were created with the games in mind, and I simply don't think it's a good idea that we stretch it to include cartoon dubs.
 * 2) Per Bazooka Mario.
 * 3) Per Bazooka Mario.
 * 4) Per BM.
 * 5) Using "NOA" and "NOE" would be misleading, so per Bazooka Mario.

Comments
But NOA stands for Nintendo of America and NOE stands for Nintendo of Europe,both which are localization and promotion branches for Nintendo. Are you sure they played a part in localizing languages outside of English (since the show is American)? 13:10, 4 November 2015 (EST)
 * Not at all, but I think it feels good because it also tells the language types apart. 18:32, 4 November 2015 (EST)
 * But that would be misleading, since it leads readers into thinking that the abbreviations are Nintendo of America/Europe localizations when in fact they're not. Also, an original dub is different from a redub and has nothing to do with the different localization branches of each Nintendo of country companies. 19:38, 4 November 2015 (EST)
