Editing Talk:Backward Somersault

==Uh...==
Uh, the jump in Super Mario Bros. 2 is elsewhere referred to here in the Wiki as the Power Squat Jump, and it's technically NOT a Somersault. Should I edit that part out? {{User:Dinosaur bob/sig}} 23:07, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
* If I remember correctly, Super Mario Advance gives the Power Squat Jump its own animation different from the usual jump, turning it into a backflip. [[Special:Contributions/76.177.198.199|76.177.198.199]] 14:44, 26 November 2014 (EST)

How do you get the name 'Somersault' from a back-flip move?  I think we should move this to a page called Backflip, since when Luigi performs it, it is called a Helicopter Backflip. -{{User|Cmario17}}

The prima official game guide for Super Mario Galaxy calls it backflip. {{User:GalacticPetey/sig}}

In the instruction booklet, it says this is Back Flip too. And there's an article called [[Back Flip]].... {{user:Mario jc/sig}}

All of those are true, but the game [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]] refers to it as a somersault. [[User:Koopa K|Koopa K! The KoopaTrooper User!]] ([[User talk:Koopa K|talk]]) 07:41, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

== Merge [[Backflip]] here or split backwards somersault info and merge that to backflip ==

{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|1-6-0-0|Split backwards somersault and merge that with backflip}}

These are the same thing. Having them split ''could'' make some amount of sense if back and side somersaults were split as they have elements of both, but they aren't split, and even then it could work. Also, more people are going to search for "backflip" anyways.

===Merge here===
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Per above

===Split backwards somersault and merge that with backflip===
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Per above
#{{User|Alex95}} - I'd rather see the two backflips merged on one page than just jamming two different types of flips together.
#{{User|Trig Jegman}} Back ''flip'' and back ''somersault'' are the same backwards height oriented move but not necessarily side somersault.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all.
#{{User|Power Flotzo}} Per all.

===Just split backwards somersault===

===Do nothing===

===Comments===
I'd rather see backflip and side somersault split first before this happens, tbh. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:01, February 11, 2020 (EST)

== So about the proposal ==

It's confusing how to proceed since it's been listed as passed, but not enacted in the proposals page at the time of this writing. What is more confusing is the present state of the page. There is an edit by a user that hasn't participated in the proposal (making me feel that they didn't realize their actions could've interfered with an oldish proposal a few months ago) and [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Backward_Somersault&diff=2979407&oldid=2930908 removed ''all'' information that isn't the backward somersault] in July 2020 (proposal was done in February 2020) and then moved the page to [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Backward_Somersault&diff=next&oldid=2979407 backward somersault]. Is this edit even allowed to happen? Should it have happened and remained there? Anyway, what we got at the time of this writing is some weird result where all content we have currently actually has to be fully merged to [[backflip]] to enact the proposal. In other words, this article is currently duplicate material with backflip. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:18, November 29, 2020 (EST)

::That's fair. I'm just wondering how to proceed with this article and have the proposal be enacted. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 15:54, November 30, 2020 (EST)
:::So when are you going to proceed with merging? it's almost been a year since you said that. --[[User:LewisCat28]] 19:25, July 15, 2021 (EDT)
::::Currently, I've been working on the backlog of my other projects, such as splitting the Super Mario RPG lists and uploading animations for enemies. I'll probably get to it after finishing the PM64 enemy animations. Note I ''do'' have an actual job now, so the amount of time per day I can use for this is limited.
