{{ | {{ProposalOutcome|blue|cancelled by administrator}}<small>This doesn't need to be a proposal. As mentioned in the comments, "thorny flower" is the in-game name, which [[MarioWiki:Naming|takes priority over the guides]].</small> | ||
Seeing the {{tem|better source}} tag on this page, I think we should decide on the name of this page. I have no preference either way, but I think we should probably look into this. | Seeing the {{tem|better source}} tag on this page, I think we should decide on the name of this page.

I have the go-ahead to reopen the above proposal. When it closed, only two names were known, but I've dug around and found many more. The name of this object apparently changes on the writer's whim, and hardly ever lasts for more than one game. The relevant ones are represented in this proposal. I'll go over each one. | I have the go-ahead to reopen the above proposal. When it closed, only two names were known, but I've dug around and found many more.

#{{User|Doomhiker}} The in-game name always should come first. If a random person comes to the wiki and looks for this plant, what would they look for? Only people that search internal files or actively edit on the Mario Wiki would know about the "Needle Plant" name, and the names from PRIMA are more obscure than an in-game name especially with strategy guide sales declining, so the random person would most likely search for and know the only in-game name for the plant. Sure while Thorny flower is slightly generic, all of the names are and this name is the only one that is officially said in-game.

Doomhiker - It's obviously still going to be a redirect and a mention in the article, so that scenario about someone searching for it and apparently just not finding it is moot.

:@LinkTheLefty it is more that if Thorny flower is a redirect then it is '''harder''' for the random person to find the page as redirects only show up in the search bar when you type them in word-for-word, so from nothing showing up after they type in half of the redirect's name they may assume that a page for it does not exist and give up. Also, thorny flower is its most recent name | ::::::@LinkTheLefty it is more that if Thorny flower is a redirect then it is '''harder''' for the random person to find the page as redirects only show up in the search bar when you type them in word-for-word, so from nothing showing up after they type in half of the redirect's name they may assume that a page for it does not exist and give up.
