| :::That's not page 10 that's page 18. {{User|Marshal Dan Troop}}
| |
| ::::Sorry. That was the page 10 of the pdf, where one page is two pages of the paper version. Anyway, should we rename the page ?
| |
| :::::I don't know since we already have a page on blocks which covers all blocks that is called block. {{User|Marshal Dan Troop}}
| |
| ::::::I agree, but an official name, even ambiguous, is better than a conjectural name, no ? I don't know what to do. We could rename this page "Block (type)" and the current page to "Block (category)". But the problem is that it is not a category.

| :The three last games where [[Question Block]] appear are : Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario 3D Land and New Super Mario Bros. 2. I checked the SMG2 manual : it is written "Block". In the SM3DL, they don't say its name. I haven't checked the NSMB2 manual. {{User:Banon/sig}} 06:36, 7 November 2012 (EST)

| ::I own both of thes guides, and they call them "blocks". I read another guide and it called them "regular blocks". {{User:Pokémon Trainer Red/sig}} 13:17, 20 November 2012 (EST)
| |
| :::Which guide call them "regular blocks" ? {{User:Banon/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| '''How about''' we put a {{tem|distinguish}} on [[Block]] and a {{tem|Diff}} on [[Used Block]]. That way, there is less confusion between the two "Blocks" and we still give attribution for the official name.

| ::That would be better than the current situation. But why not add brackets ? This article should not be named Used Block, because an official name has been found. Why not : Block (type) or Block (category) or Block (general) with a {{tem|distinguish}} and Block (Question Block) or Block (Used Block) or Block (Used Question Block) with a {{tem|distinguish}}. It may sound confusing, but... {{User:Banon/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| How about renaming the page "Block (used)" Still official, yet distinguishing.

| |
| :Yes, that's true and I totally agree with you. But wouldn't it be "better" if we'd rename it "Block (used block" ? After all, it may be redundant ! Can we rename the page "Block (used)" now ? {{User:Banon/sig}} 13:02, 13 December 2012 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| Yep, go ahead and rename it. Remember to remove the {{tem|Conjecture}} template and update as many words and links as you can. I'll help you out if you want.

| :Ok, I did it, but now I have to edit [[:Special:WhatLinksHere/Used_Block|all those pages]]. But, for an unknown reason, every page that has "Block" in its title and "used" in its article is listed here... {{User:Banon/sig}} 16:53, 13 December 2012 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| That would be because all those pages were being linked via [[Template:Blocks]]. I updated the link there, so that got rid of a few.

| == "Used" ==
| |
|
| |
| It's found in some games, such as [[Super Mario Land]], completely empty by default. Thus, this should be "Block (empty)", as "used" could be misleading. {{User:Misty/sig}} 16:55, 13 May 2014 (EDT)
