I think that Big Magikoopa should be moved to '''Giant Magikoopa''' because there are not any sources that indicate that it is their confirmed name. One such Big Magikoopa in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' is referred to as "Giant Magikoopa", and ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' refers to [[Kamek]]'s Giant form as [[Giant Kamek]], not by using the word "big". | I think that Big Magikoopa should be moved to '''Giant Magikoopa''' because there are not any sources that indicate that it is their confirmed name.

# {{User|Camwoodstock}} Now, hear us out here--we don't think you're wrong in asserting the Sparks of Hope Magikoopa is unique. But we don't think renaming this page is the way to go, for one key reason; in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', a game which released within the last console generation (2017), they do name an ordinary large Magikoopa as "Big Magikoopa", so the generic name for these guys is probably still that. However, the Sparks of Hope Magikoopa's unique appearance and (from a glance, we never played that game) unique abilities, in addition with the Japanese name being entirely different and making zero such mention of size, we think what's probably better is if the Sparks of Hope "Giant Magikoopa" were '''split off from this article''', rather than renaming this article to suit its needs, especially seeing as there are many more distinctive traits to him than just his above-average size. This is kind of an edge case, however, and we'd like to know if anyone else feels a split is better than renaming this. | |||
#{{User|Tails777}} While I could support this idea by saying we moved Shell Shocked to Tread Carefully after only one appearance with a new name (despite having two appearances prior under the original name, one being on the [[Mario Party: The Top 100|3DS]]), I agree more with what Camwoodstock is saying in that its more of a unique case. | |||
#{{User|Mariuigi Khed}} I feel that the "Giant" nominative is just to make it sound similar with the other Giant enemies in the game. Take the Goomba, in Italy (might be irrelevant, but the game was also developed here) all giant Goombas that have a boss status are referred to as "Mega Goomba", with the only exception for the M+RSOH one, since, I presume, it's because all giant bosses have "Giant" in their name. I think for the Magikoopa is the same thing (in English, since in Italy, it's still named "Giant Kamek" in other games and most big enemies are named "Giant [enemy name]", so no differences anyway). I'd keep it "Big". --{{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 13:15, November 3, 2023 (EDT) | #{{User|Mariuigi Khed}} I feel that the "Giant" nominative is just to make it sound similar with the other Giant enemies in the game.

#{{User|Sparks}} This option makes the most sense after hearing feedback from others. The Giant Magikoopa is unique enough to receive its own article, plus it is named "Dark Magikoopa" based on the Japanese translation. | #{{User|Sparks}} This option makes the most sense after hearing feedback from others.

:You can just add the splitting option to this proposal, I'm pretty sure it's allowed to stay a talk page proposal if it only concerns a couple of pages. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 15:15, November 3, 2023 (EDT) | :You can just add the splitting option to this proposal, I'm pretty sure it's allowed to stay a talk page proposal if it only concerns a couple of pages. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 15:15, November 3, 2023 (EDT) | ||
::It would work for giving the Giant Magikoopa its own page, but another talk page proposal would have to occur for the Giant Goomba. As for right now, this proposal is focused on the Giant Magikoopa, so I will add the split option for this proposal. The Giant Goomba proposal will happen eventually, but the Giant Magikoopa comes first. {{User:Sparks/sig}} November 3, 2023, 15:19 (EDT) | ::It would work for giving the Giant Magikoopa its own page, but another talk page proposal would have to occur for the Giant Goomba.
