What proposals do you have in mind? Regarding Boss Bass, I'm mostly neutral at the moment. I really don't mean to be fence-sitting, but I can see where both the prospective merges with Cheep Chomp or Big Cheep Cheep are coming from, so I'm starting to think we should play it safe for a while longer. We already see notions to resplit Big Bertha from Boss Bass in response, and I imagine Bubba from Cheep Chomp wouldn't be that far behind afterward, which is giving me second thoughts about moving forward with another merge proposal at the current juncture. Hope you understand. Regarding King Boo, it seems correct (may look again later); however, I also think the "Big Boo (boss)" article should be addressed. If there is already a boss article, could that King Boo and potentially other Big Boo bosses be merged with that article, or should these Big Boos have separate articles as bosses? Either way, I feel it would just be inconsistent to merge the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' King Boo while still leaving the ''Super Mario World'' Big Boo boss unaccounted for. By the way...what did I miss on the Zelda wiki front? Did something wrong happen during the Zeldapedia and Triforce Wiki merge?

:With Boss Bass, there's probably always going to be some lingering doubt after merging (i.e. "should it have merged the ''other'' way?"). With Big Boo, I think something should be done about it as well - could make it the same proposal even. The rest I think I can work with. About Zelda...I don't really need to know about the drama, but what I do want to know is if the wiki is only down temporarily.

::Yes, Big Boo boss and King Boo ''Sunshine'' can safely be put in the same proposal I think. As I say, I think I can assist with the rest - though I should mention that, regarding Gold Bowser Statue, "Gold" enemies seem to be exempt from how we usually handle color variantions, and regarding Lightfish, it's possible, albeit unlikely, that Glimmer might have been localization since English is the language of origin in this case (it's a good idea to contact one of the developers for definitive answers on this and other Rare questions); regarding Bin, I agree with splitting now since I no longer stand by keeping the object and enemy merged, because that was when we kept foreign articles to a more strict minimum. Anyway, I'm relieved that at least one of the wikis will be safe - when I saw they they were both down, I remembered how I was the one who rationalized merging Triforce Wiki with Zeldapedia, and thought whatever happened was my fault. Let me know when it's back if I miss it. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 15:40, November 3, 2019 (EST) | |||
