| ==Alternative names in foreign languages==
| |
| I wasn't sure where else to put this, so I used the talk page of an article where it applies. How exactly should alternative names in a language different from English be listed? The German Super Mario World strategy guide includes some names that are different from those that appear in other sources; Magikoopa is referred to as Koopalini (instead of Kamek), Urchin as Aqua-Wummp (instead of Igluk), etc. so I was wondering if there is already a guideline on how to list those.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 12:46, 1 December 2009 (EST)
| |
| :I don't know a guideline, but there are already lists with more than one name for one language, e.g. [[Fawful#Names in Other Languages|Fawful]] in European Spanish. It should be clear what name is the current one. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 12:45, 9 January 2010 (EST)

| == Magikoopa or Kamek? ==
| |
|
| |
| I say we remove the Yoshi's Island artwork and the NSMB Wii info. This article is about Magikoopas, not Kamek. Regular Magikoopas aren't found in those games, Kamek is all you see. {{User:Supermariofan14/sig}}
| |

| :However, Kamek is a magikoopa, and if she is a magikoopa, then we should add the <nowiki>[</nowiki>general] info about them here as well. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}

| == Mario Party 9 ==
| |
|
| |
| In Mario Party 9, is the playable Magikoopa a Magikoopa or Kamek? Due to translations, the English version labels the Magikoopa as "Magikoopa" and the European version labels this as "Kamek". Now, what should we do? My suggestion is to say that the Magikoopa "''is playable in ''Mario Party 9''... However, in the European translations, this Magikoopa is called ''"Kamek"'' and we include this information in the Kamek article as well.
| |
|
| |
| I think it's just to avoid confusion, although we base our information on what region the game is first released. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 00:07, 8 March 2012 (EST)
| |
| :I think it should say that in the American version Kamek is mistakenly called Magikoopa or something like that as to reference the fact that the playable character is really Kamek but he's called Magikoopa in America. Also policy states that we use the European information since it came out in Europe first. {{User|Raven Effect}}
| |
| ::If something says it's Kamek, it's Kamek, end of story. It doesn't matter what region it is or which came first. Generic "Magikoopa" is a lack of information, and if one region's lacking but another one has more complete info, go with the more complete set (it's like how we use the region that makes the most sense when it comes to splitting and merging species, or in situations like [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)]]). All this page should say is that Kamek appears in ''MP9'', but that he was only identified as "Magikoopa" in the American version, with {{tem|main}} linking directly to the appropriate section on Kamek's page. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 01:02, 8 March 2012 (EST)

| It was said that the American localizers made an error and accidentally named Kamek "Magikoopa".

| ==Section Inconsistency==
| |
| Why is there a sub section "Paper Mario Information" under Official Profiles and Statistics with the Info Boxes for Paper Mario and TTYD? Shouldn't it be there in their respective game section, like the others articles? In fact, the Super Paper Mario info is in the game's section too.

| ==Magikoopa Transforms in Mario Maker==

| Should we have a proper list of what Magikoopas can transform blocks into in Mario Maker when normal/winged/big/big winged?

| == Mario Party 8? ==
| |
| This article says 2 of the voices in the fun bazzar of mario party 8 are named after kamek. For some reason, in the copy of the game that i own, they are named magikoopa voices. maybe it's like mario party 9, where the name depends on the region? i have the NTSC version if i'm not mistaken.

| == Alternate colors ==
| |
|
| |
| This is an inconsistency that bothers me a bit. While admittedly other enemies in PM and TTYD don't have color variants that aren't a wholly different enemy (barring Red Spike Top in the latter), the other appearances of them ''do'' have color variants, and the abilities aren't that consistent anyways. So, I ask: why are the color variants split? Should they not be merged? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:20, September 2, 2020 (EDT)
| |
| :I feel like the blue-shelled Spike Tops from two of the ''Paper Mario'' games could possibly be split into "Spike Top (blue shell)" with Red Spike Top merged into the main article, but that's neither here nor there. My question is, what about Kamek's color clones from ''Dream Team''? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 21:33, September 2, 2020 (EDT)
| |
| ::Could probably merge them with Kamek, though given the clone aspect a case could be made for keeping them...for now. (Also Spike Top in the first one did have a red shell, it had a blue one in TTYD and Super...and also there's the blue ones from the ''Maker'' games). [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:41, September 2, 2020 (EDT)
| |
| :::Honestly, I think it's OK to keep them split, since besides the color they still have unique traits to further distinguish them from the regular Magikoopas, such as their individual skills in the first two ''Paper Mario'' games. Other types of species such as Yoshis and Shy Guys probably don't have different colors split because there aren't enough differences. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
| |
| ::::Problem is said "individual skills" don't carry. In TTYD, Green Magikoopas got the abilities of yellow and gray ones while losing their original ones to Red Magikoopas. This is therefore very much like Shy Guys since the lack of consistency of abilities is what keeps them merged.

And as for the two Paper Mario Magikoopa types that's a completely different thing, as the game does not give them any unique names or appearances & they're treated as the same thing.

| :::::::A full merge is non-negotiable for me, the RPG ones need to stay split for consistency. But at that point I don't see why we shouldn't just cover all appearances on those pages. A (color) Magikoopa is still a (color) Magikoopa, and it's consistent with how we handle appearances of big/small enemies. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:18, May 29, 2022 (EDT)

| :::::::: As, I've said, we should then do something about ''all of the other pages'' I've just mentioned because they have different abilities but we still have them merged. [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 15:54, May 29, 2022 (EDT)

| :::::::::Not necessarily. It's a case of if the subject qualifies for a separate article (i.e. differences in RPGs which we do split for), then we should be covering all appearances of that subject and not arbitrarily excluding any. Honestly I'd support splitting color variants for stat differences but it's not something we necessarily have to do for consistency if we keep the Magikoopas fully split. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 16:06, May 29, 2022 (EDT)

| ::::::::::I agree with "''if the subject qualifies for a separate article (i.e. differences in RPGs which we do split for), then we should be covering all appearances of that subject and not arbitrarily excluding any''" for ''this'' specific instance, but we also need to be aware of times when x=y but y=/=x (like how [[Red Boo]] is about the specific ''Mario Party'' series helper and not every instance of a generic Red-Boo-that's-just-called-a-normal-Boo). Since none of the Magikoopa Colors are ever just called "Magikoopa" and have had functional differences(except for purple), This situation isn't like Red Boo.

| ::::::::::Like Swallow said though, I would be okay with just merging Purple Magikoopa, due to its lack of F.D. {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 09:11, June 8, 2022 (EDT)

| :::::::::::I'll support merging Purple Magikoopa exclusively. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 21:52, June 11, 2022 (EDT)
| |
| :::::::::::There is no separate page for Red Koopa Troopa. Seems logical to merge the different colors of Magikoopa into one page. {{Unsigned|Blushock}}
| |
| ::::::::::::"''The only functional difference between the koopas is that one walks off edges and the other doesn't. The magikoopas have way more functional differences than the two koopas do, and when it comes to color variants function is what usually decides if article or not.''"
