So... About those two... I saw your edit on the Torpedo Launcher about an alternative to implement the "Encyclopedia" template, and i saw you mentioned that a proposal would be necessary for this. Even before seeing your edit summary, i was considering a proposal too. At first, i thought a proposal on its talk page would work, but then i remembered Eye Beamer, so i figured it might need to be a general policy proposal directly made on [[MarioWiki:Proposals]]. Were you referring to a general policy proposal, in your edit summary? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 05:30, December 5, 2023 (EST) | So... About those two...

:Well, there's a few things I wanted to touch on regarding the new template. The first thing was already addressed [[Talk:Marimba Block|here]], and it's looking fairly smooth, so I don't think a proposal is needed. The second thing I wanted to get to was getting a firmer guideline on what to use when internal and foreign names overlap, like, as a former example, Banekiti. My take is, "hey, if internal data is our official source for transliterations, we might as use them," but with a second template in the picture and the name isn't English, it raises the question of which template is appropriate (partially why I resisted the template for a while). Third thing I wanted to discuss was a continuation of Doc's proposed templates [[MarioWiki talk:Naming#Comments 3|here]]. A limitation of the template is that it's not worded to include things like the ''Wario Land 4'' source assets, which came from an outside source (pre-compiled rather then post-compiled game data). If the scope were expanded to include other development sources, it would cover those things adequately. These might be possible with discussion if they're not contentious. Now, in regards to Eye Beamer/Launch Pads... Those would still have to be templated under the encyclopedia banner (unless we use "torpedo tube" from the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' Prima guide, but that looks off when those ones are different from usual and it doesn't account for the red version). But if you wanted to swap naming tiers so that Encyclopedia material had more priority over internal/development stuff, that would definitely have to require a new proposal altogether since Encyclopedia's partial-unbanning was explicitly the lowest tier at the time and website filenames were deemed even below that (though I don't think it happens in practice). I'm a little more open to it now, but I'd still want Comet Tico to be marked as an exception since that's flat-out citogenesis.
