===Rename to Big Trottin' Piranha Plant===
Before we even make the article, can we rename this to Big Trottin' Piranha Plant? Despite the internal name calling it "Big Run Run Packun", the regular sized variant was also called "Run Run Packun" in its' internal files and yet it has been officially called the "Trottin' Piranha Plant". I think it is reasonable for anyone to conclude that if the internal name for this enemy is also called "Run Run Packun" but with "Big" before it then it's English name should be "Big Trottin' Piranha Plant". I understand people are very particular with this subject so if necessary we can add a title-box at the top of the article stating something like "The name is an educated conclusion based off of the known official sources. If the official English source is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title." By doing this we can make the enemy gallery much more clear to understand for visitors on this wiki.

This isn't just for the Big Trottin' Piranha, there are lots of practice naming examples like "Bone Run Run Packun" or "Kodeka Maimai" that could also benefit from this change. I understand this is treading on new ground but I hope we can put aside the bureaucracy and make a reasonable change so these articles become more user friendly.

This same basic idea was raised among the admins, and that lead to #5 [[MarioWiki:Naming#Acceptable sources for naming|here]] being updated for it. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 18:40, January 12, 2024 (EST)
:So does this mean I can go ahead with renaming the article? It sounds like the issue has already been addressed.--[[User:Sgt. Sarge|Sgt. Sarge]] ([[User talk:Sgt. Sarge|talk]]) 19:02, January 12, 2024 (EST)
::...The article doesn't even exist yet. You can probably cancel the proposal. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:12, January 12, 2024 (EST)
Yes, since it's the current policy, this proposal should be canceled and you are safe to make the changes. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 19:22, January 12, 2024 (EST)
: Ah good, this was my first proposal so I wanted it to be on something with low stakes. I'll make the article tonight.--[[User:Sgt. Sarge|Sgt. Sarge]] ([[User talk:Sgt. Sarge|talk]]) 19:26, January 12, 2024 (EST)
