I was the user who renamed this article from the conjectural "[[Mini Pokey]]" using the in-game ''Minis March Again!'' help menu and the ''Tipping Stars'' Construction Zone object label. I similarly renamed "[[Mini Spiky Snifit]]" from ''Minis March Again'', leaving alone the plain "[[Mini Snifit]]" from ''March of the Minis'' and ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'' (as I never got around to checking that particular title or the more recent ''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''). On the subject of the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series, it would probably be more accurate to respectively have [[Mini Shy Guy]] and [[Mini Fly Guy]] as “Shy Guy (''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'')” and “Fly Guy (''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move'')” per [[MarioWiki:Naming|naming policy]], as these appear to be used practically everywhere else outside of the one ''Minis on the Move'' Toy Collection screen instance, which only lists them as “[Color] Mini Shy/Fly Guy” individually; that, and “[[Mini Bob-omb]]” most likely being unofficial, leads me to be suspicious of the [[Mini Ninji|other]] [[Mini Crab|'Mini']] [[Mini Spear Guy|enemies]] ([http://www.hit-japan.com/book10/P1710539.JPG as well as all the English names for all the first game's enemies unlisted in the manual] [http://hit930.sakura.ne.jp/hitjapan/book10/P140808166.JPG for that matter]). As for this proposal, I'm wary of renaming with the toy identifier since it's not necessarily true and could be seen as presumptuous. While I feel merging would be the safer option of the two, I would also be okay with leaving the article alone since that might raise the question of whether the other 'Mini' enemies should be merged as well (although I feel more strongly about Mini Bob-omb than anything else, as in addition to actually sharing the same name it has no distinguishing characteristics from a regular Bob-omb whatsoever).

: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}} | |||
