| Well, I don't mean Auto-Updating, I just mean, like, sorting in a table. {{User:Max2/sig}} We would still have to update Manually, but you could search by series or title. | | Well, I don't mean Auto-Updating, I just mean, like, sorting in a table. {{User:Max2/sig}} We would still have to update Manually, but you could search by series or title. |
| :That would require a template to be included on every species page out there with a game and/or series parameter – then the contents could be transcluded, and put in a table with <tt>class=sortable</tt>. Alas, that's 100s of articles to add that to. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 15:28, 19 September 2007 (EDT) | | :That would require a template to be included on every species page out there with a game and/or series parameter – then the contents could be transcluded, and put in a table with <tt>class=sortable</tt>.

| |
| Oh. ok. {{User:Max2/sig}} Just a suggestion.
| |
|
| |
| == Meows ==
| |
|
| |
| All of [[AirMeow]], [[BigMeow]], [[Meowbomb]], [[MeowMaid]], [[PatrolMeow]], [[SecuriMeow]] and [[SurpriseMeow]] are classified as sub-species. How to sort them in? - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 14:51, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Their categories should be switched to "species", as there is no main form. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
| |
|
| |
| == Cross Species ==
| |
|
| |
| Should [[Pidgit Bill]] be listed as a Pidgit, as a Bullet Bill, or as both? - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 15:22, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Hmm...probably both. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
| |
|
| |
| ==Robots?==
| |
| Shouldn't things like Shroids, Robo Shy Guys, and Meowmaids be removed, since they aren't really living and therefore not really "species?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that abiotic machines are not usually considered species. Please respond! [[User:Goomb-omb|Goomb-omb]] 20:39, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
| |
| edit:I"m going to make a proposal about this
| |
|
| |
| :Around here, "Species" is just a general term used for all types of beings, be they biotic, undead, robotic, or whatever. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 11:42, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

|
| |
| == Humanoid/sapient ==
| |
|
| |
| We should put an article only about the civilizated species... actually every species on the Mario world are sapient... so, an article about species that sighly resemble human beings (being biped, for example).

| |
| Not everything biped resemble humans. For example. Goombas don't resemble humans, and they're bipeds, they resemble walking mushrooms.

| |
| Are centurions a specie {{User:Tucayo/sig|???}}

| == Referring Directly to the Reader ==
| |
| The article refers directly to the reader. Is that intentional, or should we fix it? <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User talk:Yoshario|Y]]'''oshario'''</font></span>[[File:Yoshi Mario Hat SM64DS.png|30px]]
| |
| :This should be fixed. Also, the introduction reads very informal und biased. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 11:13, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

|
| |
| ==Amiguity of Definition==
| |
| There was discussion yesterday in #mwikichat about whether [[Bullet Bill]]s are actual species, since they, as far as we could tell, never spoke in games. Similarly, there are other enemies that may not be living creatures at all, so I thought an established set of requirements to be considered a species would be good. Any thoughts? {{User|Garlic Man}}
| |
| :No because than that will ruin all the hard work I did on the bullet Bill section (I added a lot.) And they are still species. {{User|KS3}}
| |
| ::Bullet Bills speak in Mario Party Advance, as do Bob-Ombs. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
| |
| :::I don't think it's really worth thinking about which creatures actually live and which ones don't. Just leave it as it is. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 18:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

| |
| == Species and Subspecies ==
| |
|
| |
| Is "Subspecies" a real word? Or are most of the "Species" we're talking about actually <i>Genus</i> and <i>Families</i>, and "Subspecies" actually <i>Species</i>? {{User:Gary koopa/sig}}

| Should the weaker enemies have their stronger variants with them, because enemies like Spring-Oings and Trashures have their stronger variants with them. {{User:Fiery Spyro}}

| == Species Missing ==
| |
|
| |
| What kind of species should I add?

|
| |
| == Drop-down list ==
| |
|
| |
| Do we have a [[wikipedia:Template:Drop down list|drop-down list template]] or something similar on the wiki? The current list is very confusing to navigate on mobile and something of sorts would help:
| |
|
| |
| [[Shy Guy]] V
| |
| * [[Animal Trainer Shy Guy]]
| |
| * [[Bandit]] V
| |
| **[[Badge Bandit]]
| |
| **[[Big Bandit]]
| |
| **etc.
| |
|
| |
| The V's represent arrows that can be tapped on to reveal all the "sub-species" of a certain species. Categories on Wikipedia work this way. -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 13:44, 26 November 2018 (EST)

| ==Tattle Log / Catch Card order in the ''Paper Mario'' series==
| |
| Generally, parent species appear first while variants appear later, with few exceptions. ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door bestiary|Tattle Log]] and ''Super Paper Mario''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[List of Catch Cards|Catch Cards]] are both structured as follows: the basic version of a given enemy is listed first, followed by derivatives (in overall order of appearance in the former and directness in the latter), and bosses like Big Blooper are usually separate at the end (with some exceptions like Gold Fuzzy). According to the lists, however, some parent species were technically introduced in a later game than their derivatives. This includes Dull Bones (which is already implied by the name of [[Dry Bowser#Names in other languages|Dry Bowser]] in Japanese and certain languages, and despite the fact that it would look identical to Dry Bones, it was Dull Bones that received a [[Dark Dull Bones|Flopside Pit of 100 Trials counterpart]]), Dark Puff, Ember, Bald Cleft, and Dark Wizzerd. It also implies that "[[Pale Piranha]]" should be the basic form of Piranha Plant (considered a mere color variant in some languages), with the game's "[[Piranha Plant (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Piranha Plant]]" as a derivative (as the name and guidance in certain languages would suggest). Should we adhere to this order? Note that this doesn't always match internal order, and some like Ember would probably have been reversed if it appeared at a later point in ''The Thousand-Year Door'' (like it did in the original ''Paper Mario''). I do think that we should consider at least going by the order further supported by ''Super Paper Mario'', which only includes Dull Bones and Bald Cleft. Or is it safer to continue to consider these weaker versions as derivatives that happen to appear earlier in those games, which mostly aligns with their filenames (with notable exceptions like Pale Piranha and Moon Cleft)?
