Editing Talk:Jar

==Name==
It has been suggested this be moved to jar. However, this is not the solution, as there are multiple different objects here. The ones derived from the ''Doki Doki Panikku'' ones should be moved to jar, yes, but the ''Yoshi's Island''-based ones, which are completely different other than being based off of a similar cylindrical vessel, should be moved to '''pot'''. "Vase" should become a disambiguation page between [[Magic Vase]], [[Ghost Vase]], [[Vase (enemy)|that VBWL enemy spawner]], and the other two objects listed here (jar and pot), as they are still vases. Also maybe a link to [[Merlee's Mansion#Breaking the Bank|Breaking the Bank]] for Mimi's vase.

:Magic Vase should be the main Vase article, though the ''Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and ''Yoshi's Island'' objects do appear to be two different subjects. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 05:55, 5 December 2017 (EST)
::Except there already is a [[Vase (enemy)|vase subject other than this]]. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 05:58, 5 December 2017 (EST)
:::"Vase (object)" then? Either way, I think Magic Vase has had enough time for someone to find a source. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 06:04, 5 December 2017 (EST)

== Arbitrary sorting of information ==

{{talk}}
We have [[Jar]] here, we have [[Jar (Mario Kart series)]], we have [[Vase]], and we have [[Vase (Yoshi's Story)]]. There's information scattered between these three pages that functionally overlaps (particularly minor ''Mario Kart'' appearances; the ''Yoshi's Story'' page is the only one ''without'' an MK section), they all look about the same, and they're all at least based around the same generic object. I'm not sure what specifically, but ''something'' needs changed here. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:11, January 18, 2025 (EST)
:Perhaps that means they have to be merged. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 13:22, January 18, 2025 (EST)
:Honestly, thinking about it, we could just split off the jars from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', merge the ''Yoshi's Story'' vase to that, then maybe merge the remains with each other. We'd basically have an article for jars/vases that work like Warp Pipes, and an article for regular jars/vases. We could possibly also keep the ''Yoshi's Island'' vase in its own article and move the ''Princess Peach: Showtime'' info to the Jar article, but that may leave the remaining Jar article rather barebones, with only info for ''Mario Sunshine'', ''Mario Kart'' and ''Peach Showtime''. {{User:Arend/sig}} 13:26, January 18, 2025 (EST)
::That suggestion works. I do recommend a merge at the very least. {{User:Mario/sig}} 13:52, January 18, 2025 (EST)
:::Also, none of the pages seem to cover the ''Luigi's Mansion'' vases/jars/pots. Like the ones the Poltergust can spin and make treasure come out of them, or Jarvis's objects of varying roles.

::::Are those even covered at all in this wiki? If not, well, time to expand some pages... {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:27, January 19, 2025 (EST)
