Our guideline on this wiki regarding [[MarioWiki:Minor NPCs|Minor NPCs]] is that any named character should get their own page. That's why it's so strange to me that the high-ranking members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], the main antagonists of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', lack their own pages despite being named, not-even-minor characters. If this proposal passes, pages will be created for {{fake link|Kalimba}}, {{fake link|Maraca Gang}}, {{fake link|Gong Oh}}, {{fake link|Banjo Bottom}}, {{fake link|Wacky Pipes}}, {{fake link|Xylobone}}, and {{fake link|Cordian}}. Their entries on the Tiki Tak Tribe page would remain as they are now, though Kalimba's Smash trophy and reference in ''Luigi's Mansion 2'' would move over to his individual page. The split would also allow us to explain the origins of each member's name, and add foreign name sections to Kalimba, Gong Oh, Banjo Bottom, and Xylobone (the ones mentioned in Smash Wii U / 3DS, see below), which is info we lack at the moment that I think the wiki should have. | Our guideline on this wiki regarding [[MarioWiki:Minor NPCs|Minor NPCs]] is that any named character should get their own page.

It is worth mentioning that only Kalimba, Gong Oh, Banjo Bottom, and Xylobone have official names (from Smash trophies; the latter three lack their own trophies but are mentioned in the descriptions of others, see the references section of the Tiki Tak Tribe page), while the names Maraca Gang, Wacky Pipes, and Cordian come from dev data. However, the dev names for Gong Oh, Banjo Bottom, and Xylobone match their Smash trophy names, meaning it is almost certain that the dev names of the others are also their official names (though we would still keep the dev data name template on their pages, this is just for the sake of the proposal). Even if all these names were dev data, once again these are main antagonists of the game with unique designs and story/gameplay roles. | It is worth mentioning that only Kalimba, Gong-Oh, Banjo Bottom, and Xylobone have official names (from Smash trophies; the latter three lack their own trophies but are mentioned in the descriptions of others, see the references section of the Tiki Tak Tribe page), while the names Maraca Gang, Wacky Pipes, and Cordian come from dev data.

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Wait, we don't already do this? ''And'' we already split the Snowmad commanders?! We're... Genuinely shocked that these guys aren't already split. It's enough to snap you out of a trance! | #{{User|Camwoodstock}} Wait, we don't already do this? ''And'' we already split the Snowmad commanders?! We're...

#{{User|Arend}} Pretty much an artifact from ''years'' ago, when we ''didn't'' know their names (see discussion ''way'' above) and you don't technically fight them unlike the Snowmad commanders. Also worth noting, Kalimba has two other names: Krazy Kalimba (SSB4 Wii U trophy title) and Kalimba Tiki (US SSB4 trophy description) | #{{User|Arend}} Pretty much an artifact from ''years'' ago, when we ''didn't'' know their names (see discussion ''way'' above) and you don't technically fight them unlike the Snowmad commanders.

I think some of the points raised in [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/51#Give_the_seven_boss_Tikis_from_DKCR_their_own_articles|this proposal]] were a major reason why they weren't split.
