Shouldn't an official published name be prioritized over an internal file designation? I am inclined to believe that the article name for this enemy should be "Kobone", not "Skeletal Fish Guard". - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 17:32, January 16, 2021 (EST)

::Maybe, but is that site policy? Because I feel as though an internal file name should not be prioritized over a published name regardless of language. The internal file designation used for these types of models often reflect the purpose of the character in-game, not always what their name is. I am inclined to think that is the case here. They are a "skeletal fish guard", as that is how they look and conveys their function in the Kingfin boss fight, but that may not be the intended name for these enemies. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 19:39, January 16, 2021 (EST)
:::It has been [[MarioWiki talk:Naming|discussed and debated]], and we settled with internal filenames falling under [[MarioWiki:Naming#Acceptable sources for naming|development names]] as long as they are legibly English.
