Is it okay to just link to [[Musee Champignon]] for the media list? Or should we give the game its own media list? There are some tracks I want to upload, such as the "item collected" jingle and the Ring Trainer battle theme, that aren't in the museum sound gallery. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 22:42, May 11, 2021 (EDT)

Would it be okay to create such a section on this game page, or is it kind of an antiquated practice (I'm afraid it could attract complaining)? It's on articles such as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and ''[[Mario's Early Years! Fun with Letters]]''. I've found a few typos, such as Olivia referring to the Sea Chart as a "See Chart", an improperly capitalized instance of "it", numerous spelling errors in the museum descriptions, Luigi's hat being mirrored at one point, and the claim that [[Nipper Plant]]s can spit fire when they actually can't in this game. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 16:16, May 29, 2021 (EDT)

:The See Chart one might have been intentional considering Olivia's personality, and immediately follows up with her saying "it was hard to understand anything he (Captain T. Ode) said". If the section does get created, there should probably be some kind of disclaimer saying that this is the sort of thing the section is for. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 16:41, May 29, 2021 (EDT)

I want to make a table for the weapons, but I think descriptions such as "a strong hammer", "a stronger hammer", "the strongest hammer" would get repetitive. Should we go with the in-game descriptions? This wouldn't be consistent with the Useful Items section, though. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 16:08, July 16, 2021 (EDT)

Considering how SMRPG's special attacks have pages, should we do something for the PMTOK's attacks too? Especially considering how many of them (like the [[Headbonk]], [[Shell Shot]] and [[Flop]]) have appeared in other games.

I dare even say that some attacks are basically identical to others that, even considering they have different names in Japanese, we could merge them (like [[Bomb Bump]] with [[Body Slam (Paper Mario)|Body Slam]], [[Shell Shot]] (PMTOK) with [[Shell Toss]], [[Flyin' Shell Attack]] with [[Shell Shot]] (PM), [[Flyin' Kick]] with [[Sky Dive (Paper Mario)|Sky Dive]], just to name a few: they're way too similar to differentiate them) {{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 04:05, August 20, 2024 (EDT)

:Thing is, in Super Mario RPG it's only special/magic attacks that have their names shown and many of them are shared with lots of other enemies/bosses, and basic attacks still go unnamed. With Origami King, it's every single enemy attack that is named including the most basic ones that are only used by one enemy each and are usually ramming/bumping into Mario, and making articles for all of those could get very excessive. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 06:51, August 20, 2024 (EDT)
::On the very least, the most used ones? We could also regroup variant attacks (like the Headbonks) in one. {{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 12:36, August 20, 2024 (EDT)
:::"Most used ones" and the whole regrouping thing could get arbitrary. To be honest, the only justification I'm getting out of this is the fact a name is shown for enemy attacks, whereas there was more to it with the Super Mario RPG special moves. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 12:47, August 20, 2024 (EDT)
::::By the way, we have the Japanese names for these attacks, from [https://www.marioboards.com/attachments/21131/ these] [https://www.marioboards.com/attachments/21132/ three] [https://www.marioboards.com/attachments/21133/ scans] posted by the Monty Mole person, and they have some odd differences from the English names. For example, "Shell Shot" is actually supposed to be "[[Shell Toss]]", and "Headbalonk" uses the normal name of "Headbonk".

:::::Coming back to this discussion, using the guide scans, I compiled a [[User:Blinker/Sandbox#Origami King attack names|table]] of attack names (ignoring stuff like group attacks), a while back. Interestingly, the moves "Battering Ram", "Flyin' Fish", "Flyin' Headbonk", "Blush from Above", "Blump" and "Bumble Bump" all have the same name in the Japanese version. The pun-based English names are a nice touch, but it would be so much simpler to cover them all on one page together with [[Belly Flop]] if they hadn't done that... And, just, in general, maybe it would have been more feasible to make pages for these moves. Oh well. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 12:19, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
