For reference, "<tt>WanwanRollingMini</tt>" is Chibi Wanwan's internal filename in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. Perhaps this name can be sensibly reversed since, internally, type is written after object (for example, the Golden Chomp is "<tt>WanwanRollingGold</tt>")?

:If you're suggesting to move the page to "Mini Wanwan", then I don't support it. The change would be minuscule ("Wanwan" still remains in Japanese), and with "chibi", though it's certainly not an English word, I'd still say that a decent number of people would still recognize it. Even then, knowing that the subject is small doesn't help if they don't even know what the subject is. It's too remote for my liking with not much of a benefit. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 21:17, 22 October 2017 (EDT) | :If you're suggesting to move the page to "Mini Wanwan", then I don't support it.

::::Oddly enough, ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' actually has two separate entries for this enemy: 「ミニワンワン」 (128) for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and 「ちびワンワン」 (160) for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. The former supports the in-game Mini Wanwan and should be a more preferable name, at least until/unless the book gets its English release.

:::::I'd say, we move it to Chomp (small), as the above discussion says. I'm opposed to rename to Mini Rolling Wanwan, because Wanwan is the Japanese name (i know that Rolling in Japanese is Goro, but this may be a "loanword", as LinkTheLefty calls them), and is not given by Nintendo of America, Prima, or any officially licensed english guide. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 11:44, 20 January 2019 (EST) | :::::I'd say, we move it to Chomp (small), as the above discussion says.

::::::I've entertained possibly opening the idea of splitting the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' Chomps in their own | ::::::I've entertained possibly opening the idea of splitting the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' Chomps in their own articles in general, since they might more accurately be considered "Rolling" Chomps and hence why they exhibit specific behavior different from other Chomps. Though for this case, we had a [[MarioWiki_talk:Naming#Make_an_exception_to_source_priority_for_articles_with_identical_names|proposal]] against using identifiers if it can be helped with a viable alternative. If there looks like there is a consensus against it, we can move to "Chomp (small)" in the meantime.

:::::::What does that leave? Rolling Chomps appear in ''Mario Kart'' games, and the ones in ''Yoshi's Story'' are basically simplified Chomp Sharks.

::::::::It would leave ''Yoshi's Story'' | ::::::::It would leave ''Yoshi's Story'' and the earlier ''Mario Kart'' games. Or those can be split as well, with "Chomp" redirecting to the Chain Chomp article (as it's gone under that name several times).
