#{{User|Glowsquid}} - The "enemy group" pages are repetitive and convey basically no useful information of their own. Never liked 'em.

#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} I'd say merge all of them '''except''' Brothers Bear, which appears to be a regular species name instead.
#{{User|Waluigi Time}} Per proposal.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} I support merging the articles, as the information could easily fit on this article, and a large amount of the articles are taken up by galleries, which are already found on this article.
#{{User|LudwigVon}} Per all.
#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} Per all.

#{{User|LUIGIRULES71}} i Don't Like This idea...at all... Why Merge This One While The DKC2 ones Stay The Same? Why Not Remove The info on Dixie Kong's Photo Album and Leave Only The names? Plus i Think Dudim Phreykunoutonthis is Less Deserving of a Page Due To Having only one species in it. The album is simply a character cast. We Don't Have Kremling Kuthroats Merged With The Credits, Why Only The DKC3 Ones?
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} You know what? I prefer official groupings to get their own pages. Expansion and rewriting might just be the better option for these.
#{{User|Niiue}} Per Doc.

Another thing: will this affect the enemy classes from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', such as [[Projectilia Ritebakatchia]]? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 05:56, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

:I asked that right above, when I said "or all including any other existing ones." I had alreadly brought up [[Dudim Phreykunoutonthis]] on his talk page, so he knew about them when I asked.

:To reference my reply, "This proposal is just in reference to the ''DKC3'' ones." My proposal previously suffered from a lack of clarity, but now I've clarified it's specific to ''DKC3'' photo album groups. If this proposal goes through, I may start a more general enemy groups proposal, but that's ''not'' what I'm currently suggesting here.

'''@Toadette the Achiever''' I didn't actually intend for Brothers Bear to be part of the proposal, that just slipped in from a copy-paste error. I've corrected the proposal.

I just wonder if we can recreate the categories as...well, categories (size permitting), since we do so for the DKC2 enemy classes... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:42, 16 April 2018 (EDT)
:I don't see a real use-case for the categories. While they do group together characters by type to a certain extent, the categories would have so few members. In fact, Aquatic Attackers is listed as the example in [[MarioWiki:Categories#Size and scope]] of how "small lists can simply be placed on an article that's central to the subject at hand". The example page link in Size and scope will need to updated, but the same principle still applies: these enemy group designations are exclusive to Dixie Kong's Photo Album making the photo album "central to the subject at hand".

@LuigiRules71 I said the Dudim one because it was the only one I could fully remember off the top of my head TBH. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:20, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
'''@LUIGIRULES71''': This proposal does not include the ''DKC2'' enemy groups because there's not an obvious consolidated article for them (a possibility is to create "Enemy groups of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''"). As for Dudim, it very well may be less-deserving of a page, but that's not related to this proposal; if that doesn't deserve to be its own page, make a proposal to merge or delete ''it'', don't oppose another proposal just because of inconsistency. Wikis are by their nature inconsistent in certain ways, and it's up to us editors to define the most useful standard.

@Doc von Schmeltwick: The thing is, there's not really any more viable content that could be added, because the enemy groups are only referenced in one scene; they aren't really that important. It's not like the enemy groups won't redirect to Dixie Kong's Photo Album anyway, so I don't think there's any fear of lost information here.
