::At the same time, TOK uses a different JP name in-game than any previous ones. I think "using a concept so similar that having them separate is splitting hairs" and "assuming continuity" are two completely different things.

:::Thing is, this page is already pretty big, splitting hairs would benefit the readers if they look for information only on ''Paper Mario'' or ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', but creating pages about concepts? I can see the point of it, more than once this was discussed, but I think that with the current wiki structure pages that put together a lot of related objects to deal with concepts only create humongous pages. It’s an interesting idea, and I personally like seeing the evolution of these concepts over time and the different takes the various development teams had on those, but we need a better way to do that.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:30, August 27, 2020 (EDT) | :::Thing is, this page is already pretty big, splitting hairs would benefit the readers if they look for information only on ''Paper Mario'' or ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', but creating pages about concepts?

I'm planning to make pages for all the items in the shop that you can buy (In TOK Section.) [[User:Bowser64|Dreamy Bowser]] ([[User talk:Bowser64|talk]]) 07:59, March 24, 2021 (EDT) | |||
::::By "concepts" I am not being absolutely nebulous here; Mushroom Castle Town and Toad Town are just as the same basic thing as Mushroom Castle and Peach Castle. I doubt SM64 was trying to make continuity with SMRPG with "Princess lives in Mushroom Castle," but sense dictates they're the same thing regardless.

:::::The main problem is that at that point we should be making a page about a very generic concept of “town that sometimes is found in front of Peach’s Castle”. There isn’t consistently a town in front of Peach’s Castle, the Japanese name often changes along with the appearance, sometimes the town isn’t even named, references between the various renditions are quite frequently nonexistent. I’m not fond of putting together what we consider to be “same things” in a page that is already generously sized. At this point I would rather go for a further split of the differently named Toad Towns, as it would make the individual pages easier to read and information easier to find for the readers.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 23:57, August 27, 2020 (EDT) | :::::The main problem is that at that point we should be making a page about a very generic concept of “town that sometimes is found in front of Peach’s Castle”.
