| 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.

| :::::::::So, because of the Japanese name "Wanwan", Chomp is intended to be the normal Chain Chomp enemy, with just the lack of the chain. I'd agree to merge the "Wanwan" parts of Chomp to Chain Chomp. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 09:42, 21 January 2019 (EST)

| ::::::::::@LinkTheLefty, by consensus, you mean a counterproposal? If so, yes. I don't like internal filenames, being used to say, that it is their english name while it's actually their Japanese name. Case in point: [[Whimp]] and [[Hatopop]]. I'd prefer to use the priority name depending on the guide. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 10:18, 22 January 2019 (EST)

| :::::::::::@FanofYoshi consensus means a general agreement, so it would not necessarily mean a counterproposal. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 10:46, 22 January 2019 (EST)

| |
| :::::::::::Ultimately, "Chain Chomp" and "Chomp" (both "Wanwan") were never used alongside each other in the same game (the closest is "Unchained Chomp", which is actually supposed to refer to its state after it breaks free of its block), so the articles are using a bit of guesswork. I'll probably make a proposal about reorganizing them. "Whimp" is definitely a "[[Winged Strollin' Stu|Soarin' Stu]]" [[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia#Controversy|situation]]. Anyway, yes, as Doomhiker said. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:45, 22 January 2019 (EST)

| :::::::::::::::Here's my question - did [[MarioWiki talk:Naming#Make an exception to source priority for articles with identical names|this proposal]] apply to foreign names? If so, then I suggest leaving it as Mini Wanwan, since it's pretty clear that "Chomp" is one of the Prima guide's oversights (along with grouping together the other scaled enemies, suddenly flipping Prickly Piranha Plant's name to Spiky Piranha Plant, completely neglecting the other Beamer enemies, etc.). If not, then Chomp (small) it is. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 06:45, 17 February 2019 (EST)

| :::::::::::::::I reached out to the proposer and got the answer that it applied to foreign names; in light of this, let's leave it as Mini Wanwan for now. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 09:28, 17 February 2019 (EST)
| |
| ::::::::::::::::Doc von Schmeltwick once told me that a Super Mario Encyclopedia counterproposal would not work, as it wouldn't pass given the margin of the original and it would annoy people. (i noticed that most of those who opposed are inactive recently though), so yeah, i think we should keep-as-is, at least, for now. I don't think you'd agree for a counterproposal either, so we keep-as-is too. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 09:33, 17 February 2019 (EST)

| {{Proposal outcome|passed|4-3|rename}}
| |
| One thing is for sure: ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' was released after ''Super Mario Galaxy''. As a matter of fact, I was wondering if there's a possibility to move this page to "Small Chomp", since their latest appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise other than games from the ''Super Mario'' series included in ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'' is in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.

| ===Support===
| |
| #{{User|GuntherBB}} Per proposal
| |
| #{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Supposed more recent name, no harm to it.
| |
| #{{user|Nintendo101}} In line with site policies.
| |
| #{{User|Hewer}} The names were released simultaneously, but I feel like there's not really another valid reason to pick one over the other beyond personal preference, which should be avoided, so per all.
| |
|
| |
| ===Oppose===
| |
| #{{User|LinkTheLefty}} The rationale isn't really applicable since the names were released on Mario Portal simultaneously. In this case, "Mini" is a little more common/universal, so I'd prefer sticking to that.

| #{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per LinkTheLefty.
