Template talk:Dry Bones

Expand to include other skeletal enemies?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Over the years, we have gotten a whole bunch of skeletal/bone versions of enemies that aren't really skeletal Koopa Troopas like Dry Bones is: Skeleton Goonie, Fish Bone, Bone Goomba, Skellokey, Bony Beetle, Bone Piranha Plant, etc. There's probably enough for an entire navigational template, but we wouldn't be able to include Dry Bones and variants because this nav template already exists, thus making it redundant. Then again, not including Dry Bones would make a nav template for skeletal enemies feel incomplete. Would it be okay if this template could be expanded to include skeletal enemies in a separate grouping, or is it perhaps better to just make a new navigational template and only include some notable Dry Bones species (or only Dry Bones itself), like what appears to have been done with {{Koopa Troopas}}?
(Also I've been thinking that there's enough flying/winged/"Para"-enemies exist for a navigational template for that too, but that's a discussion for later) rend (talk) (edits) 17:58, June 12, 2024 (EDT)

I deliberately removed a bunch of overinclusion on this template several years back; this template is intended to be an extension of the Koopa Troopas' template. I guess a "relatives" or "similar" or "other derivatives" section could be added. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:05, December 19, 2024 (EST)
