:Boo Buddy Block is official as it comes from the ''Mario Mania'' Nintendo Player's Guide, but Boo Block may not be since the page neglects to mention [http://themushroomkingdom.net/mania/books/guide which ''Yoshi's Story'' guide] it came from, and if not Nintendo Power then it'd basically be irrelevant for the article title under the [[MarioWiki:Naming#Acceptable sources for naming|naming policy]]. Assuming it isn't - while consistency is nice, it shouldn't be moved like that; like Hyper Spiky Goomba over "Hyper Spiked Goomba" or Para-Goomba over "Para-Galoomba", a species name change only affects the name of the species, not its varieties. Currently, Boo Buddy Block to Boo Block would technically be an unofficial move. (Search me as to why all the different types of Boos from ''Super Mario World'' get their own pages and they're not organized together like Chargin' Chucks.)

::There's a definite difference in behaviour between them, but perhaps the different Boos are a bit too close to the Koopas and their shell colours. On the other hand, we have [[Dancing Spear Guy]]. If, hypothetically, a proposal were to be formed about doing something with the Boos, which Boos would be included? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} | ::There's a definite difference in behaviour between them, but perhaps the different Boos are a bit too close to the Koopas and their shell colours.
