Talk:Café
Change name to "Café" (with acute) per the music name
I was thinking on making this a talk page proposal, but I won't yet just in case.
So the name of this page, and thus, how this wiki calls the in-game establishment is "cafe" which comes from the game files.
This type of establishment in real life is called "café", with the "e" having an acute, thus, with an "é" instead of an "e".
Though, while that made me think that this page, and thus, how this wiki name said things should be moved to "café", I saw that the in-game name of the music that plays in this location (number 239) is called "Café", with the acute. I have seen that the name of a music track in PPTOK is usually called in the same way as the location where it plays; the theme that plays on Whispering Woods is called "Whispering Woods", the themes of Toad Town are called "Toad Town", the theme of Diamond Island is called "Diamond Island" and so on.
With that, it makes to me that the theme called "Café" plays in the location named "Café".
In short, I think that this page should be moved to "Café", adding the acute to the "e", primarily because the name is already given in-game through it's music theme, which is a way more reliable source than the game files (and I think that the reason of why the game files doesn't have the acute is because punctuation marks like these aren't relevant to files names like those), and also because in real life those locations are called "Café", although that isn't my primarily reason.
And this isn't relevant to this topic but, for page name changes like these, should I normally comment first like this, or do a talk page proposal instead? I am new to Super Mario Wiki's way of doing things, so I am not sure how to do these things :P -Kirbeat (talk) 19:06, February 3, 2022 (EST)
- Personally I'd go for the in-game music title over the files. Those should only be used as a last resort, and I think the intention is pretty clear here. Regarding proposing name changes, starting a regular discussion is perfectly fine. If you get enough consensus you can just make the move without a proposal at all (unless the current name is upheld by a previous proposal). --
