| Tentacles are explicitly mentioned in this very article to be no more than the limbs of Bloopers, and the [[L. Tentacle]] and [[R. Tentacle]] links already redirect to the main [[Blooper]] article instead of this one. I really don't think a Blooper's arms deserve a seperate article just because the player may be able to target them in one game. Any usable information from this article should be merged into [[Blooper]] if not already mentioned there. | | Tentacles are explicitly mentioned in this very article to be no more than the limbs of Bloopers, and the [[L.

| All right, proposal passed. Now what do we salvage from this article to merge into the other? {{User:Reversinator/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| Alright, I merged usable stuff from this into [[Blooper]]. Not much remained, mainly the fact that Bloopers use tentacles to move and the picture from the article; the rest of the information was either already mentioned, superfluous or incorrect. I don't know what is to be done with the talk page though; can someone please tell me?

| == Delete this? ==
| |
| This currently redirects to [[Big Blooper]] due to the TTYD boss, but [[King Calamari]] also has targetable tentacles. I thought about making this a disambig, but there's no such disambigs for other targetable body parts like Queen Bean and Cackletta's arms, so maybe this could just be deleted?

| |
| :The redirect lacking a pipe makes it not very useful either. It's also very generic and can apply in various other enemies such as Gooper Blooper. We probably shouldn't have this. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:23, November 21, 2023 (EST)
| |
| ::Princess Shroob too... Does this require a proposal or something, or can I go ahead and [[Template:Delete]] it? [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 14:42, November 21, 2023 (EST)
| |
| :::Disagreed. Tentacles in TTYD and SMRPG are gameplay elements and are given a label like any targetable enemy; because of that, "Tentacle" should lead wiki users somewhere when they search for it, and because this body part appears in two separate bosses, it's better to turn this term into a disambig page for Big Blooper and King Calamari. If there are other bosses with separately-targetable body parts that have names of their own, the obvious course is to do the same thing with them. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 14:59, November 21, 2023 (EST)

| ::::I don't think we should split body parts or other peripherals (that are generically named in particular; we still have [[Support Shroob]]s and [[Shroob-omb]]) from the main bosses. Otherwise we'll have [[Shadow Queen]]'s hands <s>and her toaster</s>, [[Cortez]]'s weapons, [[Queen Bean]]'s arms, [[Cackletta's Soul]]'s hands (the soul does not have its own page), [[Trunkle]]'s tree, [[Hermie III]]'s parts, [[Elder Princess Shroob]]'s parts, Cackletta's illusions, [[Mrs. Thwomp]]'s small forms, and so on as their own pages. Tentacle's issue is further compounded that players can interact with this element outside the Mario RPG games, such as Super Mario Sunshine with Gooper Blooper. I believe when people want to look up a boss's parts, they'll search for the boss instead. {{User:Mario/sig}} 22:44, November 21, 2023 (EST)

| :::::If and only if they remember its name... but as an interactive target with a given name, it's still useful as a disambig in that respect. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:08, November 21, 2023 (EST)
