Anyone else feel like the internal name "todo" just means "to do" and they never changed it? [[User:Mrbeast6000|Mrbeast6000]] ([[User talk:Mrbeast6000|talk]]) 17:40, December 3, 2023 (EST)
:Pretty sure that's just something Annalisa10 left as a placeholder while adding the internal name section, not an actual internal name. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 18:25, December 3, 2023 (EST)
::Correct. I filled in the internal name to minimize further confusion. {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:01, December 5, 2023 (EST)
:::It was me that set it as "todo", as I couldn't check the internal name myself and I wanted someone else to do it, why did people think it was an actual internal name {{User:BetterDonutGalaxy/sig}} 20:09, December 9, 2023 (EST)

== Rename back to Slidon ==

As with [[Morocon]], the internal name "Slidon" is a perfectly valid transcription of「スライドン」(''Suraidon'') and is the only official romanization of the name that we have, so I think we should rename this page back to "Slidon". {{User:Jdtendo/sig}} 04:05, January 24, 2024 (EST)

-: I agree (also because Slidon just sounds cooler) {{User:MawioMawiolol/sig}} 06:17, January 25, 2024 (EST)
-::Additionally, was there even a discussion prior to renaming it to "Suraidon"? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 12:29, January 25, 2024 (EST)
-:::There was [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/64#Clarify_stance_on_Japanese-derived_internal_names|this proposal]] I created that passed, but I didn't consider instances where the internal name is the ''same'' as the Japanese name. I guess the move to Suraidon follows the proposal? (With the way I worded it, I mean.) I wouldn't be opposed to a follow-up proposal where Japanese-name priority is only applicable to enemies that don't have a romanization of their final Japanese name as their internal name, though...

-::::Whether internal names can in some cases be considered as official romanizations remains an open question, but now that we have an official English name for this enemy, we certainly won't rename this page back to Slidon. {{User:Jdtendo/sig}} 03:01, January 26, 2024 (EST)
