The current name of this article comes solely from Mario Portal, which was from about a year ago, whereas the name "Silver Chomp" was used in-game (albeit for a mission title) which is even its onky appearance. I want to point out that a recent proposal to move Pianta Thrower back to [[Chuckster]] passed with overwhelming support for a similar reason to this one, a name that has been used in a game still taking priority over a newer name that hasn't. | The current name of this article comes solely from Mario Portal, which was from about a year ago, whereas the name "Silver Chomp" was used in-game (albeit for a mission title) which is even its onky appearance.

#{{User|Pseudo}} This is more clear-cut than Stompin' Chomp to me since there are other types of Chomp in that level as well that the title could easily refer to and that title leaves out the "rompin'" element. On top of that, I don't think there is strong reason to believe that Silver Chomp is meant to be a generic descriptor as Doc von Schmeltwick describes — it is a very direct descriptor compared to something like Stompin' Chomp that seems more colloquial I guess. | |||
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} I'd say this is more comparable to [[Giant Wiggler]]. Per proposal, and all. | #{{User|FanOfYoshi}} I'd say this is more comparable to [[Giant Wiggler]]. Per proposal, and all. | ||

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} The [[Chuckster]] proposal was mentioned, so we'd like to bring something up in specific with that example that isn't the case here--without a [=3DAS=] to set the record straight that Nintendo still calls them Silver Chomp instead of their later name, this is a ''lot'' less clear-cut than the Chucksters. The combination of the vague syntax of the original name (the capitalization leaves it unclear if it's the name or just an adjective for "Chomp") leaves us with a very, very strange edge case for Silver Chomp literally only ''possibly'' being the "official" name because of grammar, and unless more concretely spelled-out information comes out, we might as well defer to the lower-priority but way more concretely stated name in the meantime. THAT BEING SAID: if someone were to pull a hail-mary, email Nintendo, asked "Is it Silver Chomp?", and if Nintendo said "Yes, it is, we just capitalized that wrong.", we'd be inclined to support this whole-heartedly; the main hurdle here, after all, is the ambiguity, and that'd clear it up. | #{{User|Camwoodstock}} The [[Chuckster]] proposal was mentioned, so we'd like to bring something up in specific with that example that isn't the case here--without a [=3DAS=] to set the record straight that Nintendo still calls them Silver Chomp instead of their later name, this is a ''lot'' less clear-cut than the Chucksters.

:::@7feetunder: I ask mostly cause the Prima guide is consistent with capitalizing the S in Silver; at every point Silver Chomps are mentioned, the capitalizing is consistent. I know this could already be known information, but I was hoping I could just provide any further info that could be helpful. {{User:Tails777/sig}} | :::@7feetunder: I ask mostly cause the Prima guide is consistent with capitalizing the S in Silver; at every point Silver Chomps are mentioned, the capitalizing is consistent.
