Talk:Lever Switch

Split Lever Switch and Switch (Donkey Kong) into separate articles
Lever Switch comes from the name of the lever object that originated in the Super Mario Galaxy games; the similar puzzle element from Game Boy Donkey Kong is only known as a "switch", and can be grabbed and shifted around rather than only hit with a star spin.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2)  Per all.
 * 3)  Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) They look quite similar, and appear to be the same kind of switch in Galaxy as in Game Boy Donkey Kong. Also, if we split the article, the two new articles will be very short, and may even be (forbidden) stub articles. I am not convinced.

Comments
@River Piranha, short articles aren't an issue, and as long as the articles have all the relevant information then they won't be stubs. Stubs are only articles that lack information.

One more difference I forgot to mention earlier is that Donkey Kong's switches are exclusively designed around the control of locks and platforms, whereas the Lever Switches of the Galaxy games are more unpredictable and have a wider range of uses (and, if I recall correctly, cannot be interacted with once activated).
