@Fawful's Minion: This isn't about your vote, but part of it. The name you suggested (Mini Pokey) falls under conjectural. There is an official name (which is Pokey in Minis March Again) so there is no need to have this article named Mini Pokey unless it is an official name in a different game. Also, if there ever comes a time where mini pokey is a form (kind of like [[Mini Mario (form)]]) then the article would have to be moved again if it was named Mini Pokey without being conjectural. Please take note of this and see whether or not you want to change your vote on the name. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 01:04, 23 August 2016 (EDT) | @Fawful's Minion: This isn't about your vote, but part of it.

@YoshiKong They rely on a wind-up key in the later game, Tipping Stars, as shown by the key on its back, however I'm not sure about how they look in Minis March Again.

The article should at least be changed to {{fake link|Pokey (Mario & Donkey Kong series)}} or something along those lines, as the Pokeys in at least one game have been shown to be different, with the Minis March Again part possibly merged. - {{User:Ninelevendo/sig}} 05:05, 23 August 2016 (EDT) | ||
:@Ninelevendo on the subject of ''Minis March Again'': They have a wind up key in this game too. It only appears half of the time approximately. This is why you don't see it in the screenshot. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 09:02, 23 August 2016 (EDT) | :@Ninelevendo on the subject of ''Minis March Again'': They have a wind up key in this game too.

:I like the idea of having the Mini enemy articles all merged into their main article. The issue I see with it though is that we would want to make sure the links to those Mini enemies actually redirected you to the correct section in the main enemy article. For example, if I'm looking up information on Mario vs. DK, and I decide to click on a link to [[Pokey]] on that page or a page related to it, I want to be redirected to the exact section of the Pokey article that will tell me about the versions in Mario vs. DK. Obviously, that's not impossible, but it also would be convenient to just have a link to "Mini Pokey" that would take you right to the information you wanted, and not to the whole Pokey article. On the other hand... the "Mini Pokeys" are hardly different from the normal ones, so part of me says that they don't deserve an article. I'm just spouting off some thoughts. I don't know what I want to vote for yet regarding this specific article. {{User|Fawfulfury65}} | :I like the idea of having the Mini enemy articles all merged into their main article.

::The problem is that some enemies are intended to be toy versions, but others aren't so much. On one hand, we have Boos, Bloopers, Thwomps, and Pokey, which appear organic, but the Shy Guy and Snifit here appear to be more toy-based, with the Shy Guy even receiving their own name, Mini Shy Guy (but also called mere "Shy Guy" in another game). Finally, this proposal reminds me of the relationship between [[Polterguy]] and [[Boo Guy]]... {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:29, 29 August 2016 (EDT) | ::The problem is that some enemies are intended to be toy versions, but others aren't so much.

Looks like Pokey (toy) is the main choice. No changing it without proposal. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 20:30, 1 September 2016 (EDT) | |||
