Editing Talk:Toad mechanic

==Name==
So, this Toad runs both Toad's Automoboots and Toad's Automoboats. It's kind of strange to include only one, so should we change this page's name? {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 20:11, August 22, 2020 (EDT)
:Is there any name you have in mind? {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
::I was considering something like "Breezy Tunnel mechanic," "Toad mechanic," or "Boot Car mechanic" but they all have the same problem. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 20:19, August 22, 2020 (EDT)
ENGINEER = NOUN = (1) a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works (2) the operator or supervisor of an engine, especially a railroad locomotive or the engine on an aircraft or ship. "Toad engineer", or something the lines of such, could be the title of this article. {{User:The Mansion/sig}} 16:15, September 19, 2020 (EDT)
:Yeah, I think that one would work. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 16:42, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

== Possible official name ==

So, <tt>\romfs\msg\US_English_Final\msg.msbp</tt> lists styles and formatting for various characters. One of these is <tt>Kinopio_engineer</tt>. It comes between <tt>[[Oarsman|Kinopio_Sailor]]</tt> and <tt>[[Professor Toad|Kinopio_Archeology]]</tt>, and the Toads are listed in order of appearance, so I'm pretty sure it refers to this one. Would "Engineer Kinopio" or "Engineer Toad" work as a name? (I'm actually not sure if we translate this or not, considering [[Informant Snifit]] does and [[Bridge Kinopio]] doesn't.) {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 21:16, June 22, 2021 (EDT)
:Also, this seems consistent with ''Color Splash''.
:*<tt>\content\script\fld\map\O2\O2_TogeEntrance.bin.lz</tt>, <tt>\content\script\fld\map\OB\OB_TerminalStation.bin.lz</tt>, <tt>\content\script\fld\map\OB\OB_Train07_Guard.bin.lz</tt>, and <tt>\content\script\fld\map\OB\OB_Train08_Boss.bin.lz</tt> refer to him as <tt>KNP_Engineer</tt>.
:*In ''CS'', his graphics filename is <tt>EKNP</tt> (this is also used for his dialogue). In ''TOK'', it's <tt>KNPE</tt>. Slight rearrangement for consistency, but it's still the same. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 15:35, June 23, 2021 (EDT)
:Maybe we should merge this with [[Sunset Express conductor]]? {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 15:35, June 23, 2021 (EDT)
::I would say no to this merge. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 21:02, June 23, 2021 (EDT)
I was going to just mark this as resolved due to inactivity, but this raises a good question... why is there inconsistency between [[Informant Snifit]] and [[Bridge Kinopio]]? Should the former be moved? I would also say sure to moving this page to "Kinopio engineer", though I do want to hear some more thoughts on this first.
