Why isn't this page called "Stretch (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)"? You could argue that it's because ''Yoshi's Island'' was remade, but there exists the article [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)]] as well, using a game identifier. Boo Stretches don't appear in ''Yoshi's Island'' and Shy Guy Stretches don't appear in any games besides ''Yoshi's Island'', so I'm not sure why this page doesn't use a game identifier. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 01:44, December 11, 2019 (EST) | Why isn't this page called "Stretch (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)"?

:Looking at page history, it was done for consistency with [[Stretch]], which had just been moved from [[Stretch|Stretch (Super Mario Bros. 3)]] to [[Stretch|Stretch (Boo)]] due to Stretches appearing in more than just Super Mario Bros. 3. Now that the identifier was removed from that page, though, it's less justified now. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 01:49, December 11, 2019 (EST) | :Looking at page history, it was done for consistency with [[Stretch]], which had just been moved from [[Stretch|Stretch (Super Mario Bros. 3)]] to [[Stretch|Stretch (Boo)]] due to Stretches appearing in more than just Super Mario Bros. 3.

::I stand by my "not giving people carpal tunnel syndrome as that's friggin' life-wreaking just because the people who localized the game decided to give it an overly long title for no freakin' reason" reasoning. That alone is justification. Additionally, Spiny above has no base species aside from just "porcupine."

:::And I stand by my "use the redirects to deal with your carpal tunnel syndrome" reasoning. No-one's saying that "Stretch (Shy Guy)" can't be a redirect to "Stretch (''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''). {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 08:01, December 11, 2019 (EST) | |||
::::As the person who moved the page in the first place (mainly for consistency), I wouldn’t have a problem with moving the page back now that [[Stretch]] no longer has the “Boo” identifier. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 08:08, December 11, 2019 (EST) | |||
:::::According to [[MarioWiki:Naming#Determining_the_identifier|Naming]], we go by what the subject is, and then by game title. Shouldn't the current identifier be fine in that case? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:46, December 11, 2019 (EST) | |||

::::::Well when you're typing out pages and linking to stuff, see, it's nice to not have the additional stress on your wrists of typing out overly long identifiers when piping....
