| You know the alternative logo Rare use when they go by the name of "Rareware"? I think it should be uploaded here, but get their permission first! [[User:Mr Man|Mr Man]] 14:37, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

| ==Why aren't the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Conker'' series detailed on this wiki?==
| |
| This question may have already been answered elsewhere, but why aren't the [[wikipedia:Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]] and [[wikipedia:Conker (series)|''Conker'' series]] detailed on this wiki? Since both [[Banjo]] and [[Conker the Squirrel|Conker]] debuted in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', wouldn't that make both series spin-offs of the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]? --{{User:Dry Bowser rules!/sig}} 08:06, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
| |
| :It was decided not to cover the series in [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/25#Remove_Banjo_and_Conker_from_our_coverage_policy_and_delete_Banjo_.28series.29_and_Conker_.28series.29|this proposal]], and there is also a section mentioning it in the [[MarioWiki:Coverage#Mario series|coverage policy]]. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 08:22, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
| |
| ::While they ''first appeared'' there, both ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Twelve Tales'' were already in development prior. Even before ''Diddy Kong Racing'' was even mean to ''have'' Diddy Kong in it.

| == Move to Rareware? ==
| |
|
| |
| Wouldn't it make more sense to move this page to Rareware? Not only was it the name used under Nintendo tenure, and this is a wiki about a Nintendo property, but also more people are probably looking for this page with that title than "Rare Ltd.". Should this page be moved? {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 12:46, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :Rare has had exchanges with Nintendo under the "Rare Ltd." brand, right? Like for handheld remakes and ''Smash''? In that case, the article's probably fine. On the other hand, I think the Nintendo Cube move was a little early. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:11, October 6, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::That is true, but I still believe the name "Rareware", or even "Rare" makes more sense. The "limited" isn't often included in ''Mario''-related media, and anyway, [[iQue]]'s full company name is "iQue Ltd.", yet we still shorten it to "iQue". What makes Rare so different? {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 16:00, October 8, 2024 (EDT)

| |
| Shoudn't the "History involving the Super Mario franchise" and "Appearances in the Super Mario universe" sections be merged? They both cover times when Rare has appeared in the games, so I don't see why they should be separate. [[User:1468z|1468z]] ([[User talk:1468z|talk]]) 13:06, December 2, 2024 (EST)

| |
| Okay, hear me out here.
| |
|
| |
| I'm not the biggest fan of having this page named as "Rare Ltd." for reasons I'll get too later. But penultimatly; I want this page moved to either Rare of Rareware.

| |
| <big>'''Moving to Rareware'''</big><br>
| |
| The name "Rareware" was used when this company was under Nintendo tenure; and this is a wiki based on a Nintendo character. I also bet "Rareware" is the most common search for this company on this wiki due to this name being used throughout their ''Donkey Kong'' releases.
| |
|
| |
| <big>'''Moving to Rare'''</big><br>
| |
| Let's use [[iQue]] for an example here. iQue's full company name is "iQue Ltd.," but for simplicity's sake, as well as it being used and searched for more, we use the name "iQue". Shouldn't this be the same for Rare?

| ===Move to Rareware===
| |
| #{{User|Rykitu}} Per proposal.
| |
|
| |
| ===Move to Rare===
| |
| #{{user|Super Mario RPG}} Secondary choice.
| |
| #{{User|Altendo}} Primary choice. Shortening to "Rare" is fine; the link "[[Rare]]" redirects here anyways.
| |
| #{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per Super Mario RPG; they are not called Rareware anymore, but if we truncate "iQue Ltd." to just "iQue", it should be fine to prune it here too.
| |
| #{{User|Ahemtoday}} Per Camwoodstock.
| |
| #{{User|EvieMaybe}} per Camwoodstock, too
| |
| #{{User|Salmancer}} Rare isn't fictional. I disagree with treating the names of fictional things and real things in the exact same manner. It also appears we're also cutting the Ltd from [[Nintendo]], so I guess that's the wiki stance then.
| |
| #{{User|PhGuy12}} My preferred option. Also, [https://web.archive.org/web/20000818115852/http://www.rareware.com/recent/scribes/ "Rareware" was not the company name]; it was a trademark name used for their games.
| |
| #{{User|Technetium}} Per Camwoodstock and Salmancer, I'd like consistency with how company article titles are handled. Plus it's not just the two they mentioned, but all of the companies I can think of: [[Acquire]], [[AlphaDream]], [[ArtePiazza]], the list just goes on and on… why is Rare the exception here?
| |
|
| |
| ===Do nothing===
| |
| #{{User|Super Mario RPG}} No. Rareware is no longer their current name, and they have officially collaborated on ''Donkey Kong'' remakes post-buyout. I don't see any reason to get rid of the "Ltd.", either.
| |
| #{{User|Altendo}} Secondary choice. I feel like keeping the current name is fine.
