#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Even if on the surface it seems inaccurate, it still is accurate in that the species itself is called "Red Electrokoopa" in English. Additionally, from what I can tell it was ''never'' identified simply as "Electro-Koopa" itself, making that title inaccurate from an official literature-standpoint. "Huge Red Electrokoopa" is not "inaccurate," per se, it's simply a misnomer, which happens plenty ([[Buzzy Beetle]] and the "sized" Boos from SMRPG for example), even in real-world species names (take the amount of species that have "-fish" or "-fly" in their names despite not being fish or flies). In fact, it's only a misnomer on the surface, because again, it ''is'' a huge version of the red ones, and is even defeated the same way.

#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} Per all. To expand on the clunkiness of the other names: Electro-Koopa can refer to any variant (which is partly why the [[Electro-Koopa|disambiguation page]] has references) and the proposed identifier [[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia#List of English translation mistakes and names from the Super Mario Wiki|came from us]], and Giant Koopa was also [[Big Koopa Troopa|taken]] and the articles' "about" template already mentions the situation adequately; while Dennoko King doesn't have these problems, we should still maintain an effort to adhere to the "another language" template's phrasing "If an official name from an English source is found, the article should be moved to its appropriate title," despite [[MarioWiki talk:Naming#Make an exception to source priority for articles with identical names|recent]] [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 52#Citing the Super Mario Encyclopedia|exceptions]]. Also, I meant it when I wrote that Red Electrokoopa and Blue Electrokoopa should be moved if this does.
