Editing Talk:List of enemies by first appearance

=="Under Turb's permission"==
I'm assuming he's referring to {{User|Turboo}}, but there has been no visible communication regarding that, and why is a new user making this page? When I attempted something similar, it got shot down. I'd like some Admin verification, if that's not too much to ask for.

:I'd like to apologize for the lack of transparency; this user contacted Glowsquid and I on our IRC channel, and I can get logs of our conversation if required. I was rather unsure and still am about whether it's allowed (a sortable chart on the original page might be a better solution), but there seemed to be no significant objections to him creating the page while the discussion was happening. If there are any other issues, I'd be fine with discussing it with the other admins at length. - [[User:Turboo|Turboo]] ([[User talk:Turboo|talk]]) 22:37, 7 February 2018 (EST)

== Some Missing Enemies ==

While looking over this page I realized Klepto and Foos are missing from the Mario 64 section. Is there any specific reason for that? I'll keep looking for anything else missing in other games and update my post here. --[[User:TheAFM|TheAFM]] ([[User talk:TheAFM|talk]]) 09:49, July 2, 2019 (EDT)

I added [[Cannon]], [[Cannonball]], [[Spike ball]] which are first appeared in the [[Super Mario Bros 3]] . [[User:Mario123456789|Mario123456789]] ([[User talk:Mario123456789|talk]]) 02:51, February 11, 2020 (EST)
:...those are obstacles <_> [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:11, February 11, 2020 (EST)

 But in [[Super Mario Run]] enemy notebook there is a [[Cannonball]] . [[User:Mario123456789|Mario123456789]] ([[User talk:Mario123456789|talk]]) 02:56, February 12, 2020 (EST)
:It's still an obstacle by the rawest definition of the word. Note how we don't have things like barrels in the DK section. That's deliberate. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 04:45, February 12, 2020 (EST)

One more thing... In DK section there is Donkey Kong which is a boss. And in Super Mario Bros. Turtle cannon it isn't an enemy... [[User:Mario123456789|Mario123456789]] ([[User talk:Mario123456789|talk]]) 10:21, February 14, 2020 (EST)
:Donkey Kong is absolutely not a "boss" by the typical definition. While he is the antagonist, he isn't truly "battled" in any quantifiable way except in the GB remake. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:42, February 14, 2020 (EST)

Ok. But what about Turtle Cannon? [[User:Mario123456789|Mario123456789]] ([[User talk:Mario123456789|talk]]) 12:18, February 14, 2020 (EST)
:Bill Blaster seems to be "alive" to some extent in Paper Mario games and ''Superstar Saga''. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:19, February 14, 2020 (EST)

Oh now I understand. :) [[User:Mario123456789|Mario123456789]] ([[User talk:Mario123456789|talk]]) 02:41, February 15, 2020 (EST)

== Autoconfirm protection? ==

{{talk}}
This page is a near endless target for well-meaning but misguided IPs adding things like obstacles and bosses, removing non-boss enemy characters, and adding enemies to sections after their respective debut. Should it just be protected so only registered or autoconfirmed users can edit it? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:35, May 19, 2020 (EDT)
