| [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/62#Change full names of crossover characters to the more often used shortened versions in article titles|One particular proposal]] has determined that crossover characters should have their article names shortened to their most commonly used name. This led to Shadow the Hedgehog's article to be renamed to [[Shadow (character)]], resulting in the awkward current position of this well-known ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' character that's been a playable character in a variety of Mario and Sonic crossover games, being given inferiority over... some random ''Super Mario RPG'' enemy.
| |
|
| |
| That's like if the [[Peach]] redirect was one to [[Peach (item)]] instead of [[Princess Peach]]. I'm pretty sure someone would more likely look for the Sonic character that was in a bunch of Mario games, over an enemy from one game's early dungeon, when they search for "Shadow".
| |
|
| |
| To be fair though, said game's gotten a remake a year ago, so it might be recent enough to be in someone's mind still, and there might be precedence against giving a crossover character the priority here. So I have two options:
| |
| #Give Shadow the Hedgehog the priority
| |
| #Give our "Shadow" [[Shadow (disambiguation)|disambiguation page]] the priority
| |
| In any case, the current "Shadow" article should be moved to "Shadow (enemy)" (or "Shadow (Super Mario RPG)" in case we get another enemy named "Shadow"), because I don't think this minor enemy should be prioritized ''over'' a major crossover character (but, I'm okay with the two entities being given ''equal'' priority), hence the inclusion of the second option

| ===Option 1: Move the SMRPG enemy to "Shadow (enemy)", move Shadow (character) to "Shadow"===
| |
| #{{User|Arend}} Per proposal.
| |
|
| |
| ===Option 2: Move the SMRPG enemy to "Shadow (enemy)", move Shadow (disambiguation) to "Shadow"===
| |
| #{{User|Arend}} Also per proposal.
| |
| #{{User|Hewer}} A little surprised this needs a proposal but sure, I support this. [[Red]] and [[Ninja]] are good examples for precedent.
| |
| #{{User|LittleLum}} Per proposal.
| |
| #{{User|Jdtendo}} If there's no clear-cut way to tell which of the two Shadows is the more prominent subject, we might as well make "{{fake link|Shadow}}" a disambiguation page.
| |
| #{{User|Rykitu}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Technetium}} I still think we should just focus on a proposal to unshorten the names, but sure why not on this. Especially since I assume Shadow the Hedgehog would need to be listed on the Shadow disambiguation page too.
| |
| #{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Rename back to Shadow the Hedgehog!
| |
|
| |
| ===Option 3: Keep the SMRPG enemy as "Shadow"===
