Talk:Koopalings

Line 862:

:The fact that minor ported text happens to be verbatim and possibly overlooked (again, just like an identical optional line in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'') means little in the long run - in a franchise where the translators have [[Koopalings#Family relationship|relative freedom]], it must contend with '''all''' the instances and appearances where the Koopalings are referred to with (only) their first names. By my count, that is about '''fifteen games straight''' of material. If we backed off every few years a random localizer threw fans a bone and referenced older material out of the blue, our ''Dr. Eggman'' article would be ''Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik'' by those standards, except that is plainly and obviously not the common name and has no place being the title. That is the whole point of this proposal - "[[MarioWiki:Naming|''the name of an article should correspond to the '''most commonly used English name''' of the subject'']]" and the fact that this topic keeps getting brought up every so often shows that it is cyclical. Also, as mentioned, there should be no conflict with Roy because it already currently redirects to Roy Koopa as the most recurring subject despite a disambiguation page existing separately.

::Maybe hold off until Super Mario Maker 2, but i don't think they will appear. More info should come in. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:13, May 14, 2019 (EDT)

@Opposers: As {{User|Link the Lefty}} pointed out, [[MarioWiki:Naming]] states that article titles should use the most commonly used official names. So what if one or two modern games have a minor reference to their full names? The most commonly used names are their first ones alone, and I ask that you reconsider your votes in light of this. -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 00:02, May 16, 2019 (EDT)
