So "Yo'ster Isle" is another one of those inconsistent translations according to the trivia. Then it should be merged with [[Yoshi's Island ( | So "Yo'ster Isle" is another one of those inconsistent translations according to the trivia. Then it should be merged with [[Yoshi's Island (place)]]. There seem to be quite a few inconsistencies in SMRPG (how could they name Cheep-Cheep "Goby"?). --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 12:34, 17 January 2010 (EST) | ||
:I believe this exact discussion has happened time and time again. I both support the merge, but also oppose it because there's quite a bit of info here that could stand on its own. I'll wait until others that have been here longer (and were involved in those discussion) become involved. Feel free to set up a merge proposal template, though.

::How is the information being able to stand on its own a reason not to merge these? I'm sure a lot of articles have sections that could theoretically stand on their own and we still don't split them because of that.

I'm sure a lot of articles have sections that could theoretically stand on their own and we still don't split them because of that. All the information from this article would fit in well in the Yoshi's Island (place) article, as a section on its appearance in ''Super Mario RPG''; in fact, the article already has this section, mentioning that Yo'ster Island is simply the name used for Yoshi's Island in ''SMRPG''. Since the Japanese name is indeed the same for both (ヨースター島), I would definitely agree with a merge, since this appears to be no more than a mistranslation, and we merged Shy Away with Beezo and Goby with Cheep-Cheep as well.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 13:47, 19 January 2010 (EST) | ||
:::I fully agree. All information can be transferred. And even when the island is called "Yoshi's Island" in English, the place's appearance changes more or less throughout the series, yet it's still all in one article. The same can be said about many other places in the Mario universe. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 13:57, 19 January 2010 (EST) | :::I fully agree. All information can be transferred.

:::::Well, Yo'ster Isle is an island where Yoshis live; Yoshi's Island is an island where Yoshis live. Both are named ヨースター島 (yousutaa-jima) in Japanese; the Japanese name is more than just an ambiguous term referring to an island of Yoshis, it's a rather unambiguous name for a specific place, so it strikes me as logical to assume two similar places with that specific name were intended to be the same place. Of course, we cannot prove that the island in ''Super Mario RPG'' and that in the rest of the series were not, in fact, intended to be different places with the same name, but how likely is it that that exact same name would be assigned to two islands with the same basic concept if they were intended to be different locations? If we keep this split because we cannot prove with 100% certainty they are the same thing, we also can't assume that the person named Mario appearing in most games is intended to always be the same character. If two reasonably similar things having the same name in the original versions of the games is not enough of a reason to cover them in the same article, half of the articles on the wiki would probably have to be split into individual appearances.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 11:25, 10 March 2010 (EST) | :::::Well, Yo'ster Isle is an island where Yoshis live; Yoshi's Island is an island where Yoshis live.
