Editing Talk:Ring (projectile)

Do we need this? {{User:Mr. Guy/sig}}

{{settled TPP}}
{{proposal outcome|passed|5-0|Move to ring}}
Let's quickly go over all the names this item has had in the games it was in/mentioned in:

*SMB3: Here they are striped, and are known as '''candy rings''' by Nintendo Power and '''lifesavers'''/'''life savers''' by PRIMA.
*NSMBW: In this game, they're now yellow and are known as '''deadly rings''' and '''death rings''' by PRIMA, but just '''rings''' in the trading card.
*NSMBU: In this game, they are referred to as '''energy rings''' by PRIMA.
*SMM2: No name given by external sources and/or the game, and I doubt the internal name is anything noteworthy.
*M&LSS: Called '''golden rings''' by the Player's guide and '''magic rings''' by PRIMA.
*M&LPJ: No external name or in-game name given.
*M&LBIS+BJJ: In-game they are referred to as '''boomerang rings''' because they act like boomerangs now.
*PMCS: Wendy calls her ring a '''golden ring''' in-game.
*MK8: They're called '''magic rings''' in Wendy's bio.
*M&S2016: The dialogue in-game just calls these '''rings'''.
(you can find all the sources for these names on the main article page)

Since it's clear there's not going to be a single consistent English name for this subject, and I don't want to gore this page up with 15 options, let's just decide on two possibilities; do we move it to "ring", or leave it as is?

===Rename to ring===
#{{User|Somethingone}} I prefer this one personally, as the "candy" part of them was lost after SMB3
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} "Ring" is a constant part of the name (except for that one time), and clearly the original "candy" part was referring to the candy cane-like version only in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and older ''Super Mario Maker 2'' styles.
#{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - the original coloration was due to sharing a palette with Wendy anyways; her original sprite had red-and-white bracelets.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per proposal.
#{{User|RHG1951}} - Per all.

===Leave as candy ring===
