::::I'd argue that the wiki's allowed to correct errors and inconsistencies in official material without overstepping its bounds as an encyclopedia. If we didn't do that, we'd have separate pages for Spike/Mace Penguin, Boo Balloon/Blue Boo, Cheep Cheep/Flopsy Fish/Goby, Koopa Leaf/Turtley Leaf, etc etc etc. I'm not a fan of keeping things split/merged solely because the localization team got confused about something, especially not in a situation as clear-cut (imo) as this. Ultimately, the ''only'' reason to consider SPM's Moon Clefts the same as TTYD's is the English name. All other evidence points toward them being regular Clefts. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 07:18, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

:::::Before this becomes another name game, I want to point out that Doc is right that the location being important to the enemy. As Moon Cleft's tattle description in ''The Thousand-Year Door'' states: "''It's your basic Cleft living on the moon.''" (Goombella) / "''A Cleft living on the moon.''" (Log). Yes, it does reappear in the Pit of 100 Trials, but that's because it's more of a bonus challenge where all sorts of enemies throughout the game reappear. As far as the main game progression is concerned, these Clefts are named as such for a reason, which begs ''some'' sort of reorganization.

::::Both quite correct, the Pit of 100 Trials context clue is pretty important here. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 07:46, March 16, 2020 (EDT)
