==Honey, Maple & Jelly==
Not to long ago, I merged Jelly Shroom, Jelly Super and Jelly Ultra. Super and Ultra had very little information, making the great for merging. So, keeping with that format, Honey Shroom/Super/Ultra and Maple Shroom/Super/Ultra should be merged too. However, these pages have way more information than their jelly friends. So, should be merge them, or resplit Jelly Shroom and expand it the same way? -- [[User:Ghost Jam|Ghost Jam]][[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:21, 9 February 2007 (EST)

The second choice. {{User:Knife/sig1|????|who am I?|Image:Last_stand_badge.PNG|Blue}}

This is stupid.--{{User:dummmmmmy/sig}} 16:17, 5 January 2008 (EST)

These kind of galleries would be possible, however the images would be marked as "Unused". We have to be careful, you never know when a sysop looks too quickly. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 08:23, 27 January 2008 (EST)

==Fire Wario==

If it's possible, could someone remove the category link from [[User:Fire Wario|Fire Wario's userpage]] {{User:Koopa-Troopa/sig}}

== Hungus Fungus, Make category for mushrooms and rename this page as Fungi ==

{{TPP}}
When I usually go to the Mushroom category, it's because I'm looking for Super Mushrooms(Like Boo Mushroom, Drill Mushroom, Etc) and their variants, but it's difficult to find them because the page includes too many mushrooms in general.

My suggestion is to create a separate category for mushrooms and rename the current page to Fungi to facilitate navigation.

First, Mushrooms have a large number of variations, enough for their own page.

And by creating a dedicated page for Mushrooms, I think it's perfect to change it to Fungi, since this name includes all mushrooms in general. 

Finally the Mushroom category would be positioned above the Fungi category, just like Goombas and others.

'''Proposer''': {{User|Sorbetti}}<br>
'''Deadline''': April 10, 2025, 23:59 GMT

===Let's Make Fungus Hungus(Support)===
#{{User|Sorbetti}} Per proposal.
#{{User|DryBonesBandit}} As it was my idea on Discord, I should vote this. The changes would be positive in my opinion.

===Use the Fungicide(Oppose)===
#{{User|Waluigi Time}} I understand the idea behind this proposal, and it's not a bad one, but I don't think the proposed implementation is very clear. A category should generally be what it says on the tin, and just calling it "Mushrooms" isn't very intuitive for readers or editors about what the scope of the category actually is when it excludes other subjects that are still mushrooms.

===Fungitastic Comments===
Uh... aren't most of the pages contained in this category mushrooms already? Why go rename this one to "fungi" and then create ''another'' "mushrooms" category? Wouldn't it be simpler to just create a "fungi" category instead and move all the non-mushroom fungi to that category?<br>Speaking of which, what articles in this category do you ''not'' consider mushrooms, anyway? Anything that ''isn't'' a derivative of the Super Mushroom item? That does not make a lot of sense considering that there's many non-item species that are ''also'' considered mushrooms in a way. This ranges from subtler enemies like [[Capnap]] to more obvious ones like [[Trompette]]. This train of logic also makes no sense when you realize that [[:Category:Flowers]] is about ''any'' type of flower instead of any derivatives of the [[Fire Flower]].<br>Speaking of which though, there's a subcategory in there that offers a more suitable solution to your issue than this roundabout renaming nonsense: [[:Category:Flower power-ups]]. Why not rebuild this proposal so to create {{fake link|Category:Mushroom power-ups}} and leave the name of this category alone? Or were you wanting to include all the 1-Up Mushrooms or the Mushroom healing items from the RPGs as well, and were unsure if they count as power-ups? {{User:Arend/sig}} 20:29, March 27, 2025 (EDT)
:In the wiki's discord this was discussed better and this conclusion was reached, as the proposal implies, the goal is to create a page for mushrooms (such as drill mushroom, gold mushroom, etc.), this is due to the problems that can arise when one specifically searches for that type of mushroom but cannot find them, as I mentioned there are enough variations for its own category, and as I explained again, it is better to change the name of the page to fungi since this name encompasses the concept of mushroom better and would avoid confusion with the new category that this page is trying to create.

:Also, because of what you mentioned and the fact that the first mushroom from which the other variants originated is called mushroom,  is the cause we want to make the name change.[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]]) 21:00, March 27, 2025 (EDT)

::Supporting Sorbetti here. This is about making a separate category for Mushrooms, capital M (mushrooms sharing the design of the Super Mushroom), and renaming this general category to Category:Fungi. Not all '''M'''ushrooms are power-ups, so the "Mushroom power-ups" subcategory would not work well. The name of this category would have to be changed to give the "'''M'''ushrooms" name to the proposed category. Besides, "Category:Fungi" would probably work better for this category as users such as Sorbetti and I, and likely some people, would think "Category:Mushrooms" contained the Super Mushroom design-sharing ones rather than fungi in general. {{User:DryBonesBandit/sig}} 21:08, March 27, 2025 (EDT)
:::{{@|Sorbetti}} {{@|DryBonesBandit}} Then name the new category {{fake link|Category:Mushroom items}} instead? This still feels like a roundabout way to solve a marginal problem. {{User:Arend/sig}} 02:08, March 28, 2025 (EDT)
::::There’s still another problem with that as some are not items (e.g. [[Ghoul Shroom]]). [[Special:Contributions/100.1.209.240|100.1.209.240]] 06:15, March 28, 2025 (EDT)

{{@|Waluigi Time}} What do you think it should be called then? It's the default name used for all mushrooms, as I mentioned above, as well as drill mushrooms and bee mushrooms. Hence the name change. This current page will be called fungi to better encapsulate the concept of Mushrooms in general and thus leave mushrooms in their own category.

I know it's confusing to call them mushrooms, but it's the official and most commonly used name.[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]]) 15:30, March 28, 2025 (EDT)
:I'm afraid I don't really know what a better solution would be, but I would rather not push a solution that's going to be this confusing. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:50, March 28, 2025 (EDT)
::What do you think about the Super Mushrooms Category? It would be more obvious what it refers to, and with the renaming of the current category to Fungi, does it seem better to you?[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]]) 15:57, March 28, 2025 (EDT)
