{{ProposalOutcome|failed|2-6|don't split}}
The above proposal went with the decision to merge the (''Mario vs.'') ''Donkey Kong'' Sparky with the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Wire Trap, but looking back, I believe there is ample reason to split further. While the name "Wire Trap" implies that they are objects that travel on wires, they are actually on ropes, which are thicker. Sparkies are electrical balls that generate from one side of the wire itself, move to the next, and disappear. Wire Traps, on the other hand, have a shell-like form, and while the red ones similarly exit and enter funnel-shaped objects at the ends of their rope, the blue ones bounce back and forth. Sparkies are fairly different from Sparks, which mostly circle around platforms, but they are still different enough from Wire Traps that sharing the same article also seems a bit forced in retrospect. Splitting will affect the wire and rope articles, as the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' ropes are currently considered wires.
