If Category:Felines can't be called Category:Cats, or Category:Canines can't be called Category:Dogs, why can't this be called the more fancier "Swines"?

Oppose

1. Yoshi876 (talk) I think it'd be better to rename the Categories Felines and Canines to Cats and Dogs respectively. Names should be as simple as possible.
2. Icemario11 (talk) Per Yoshi876.
3. Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) And mabye put their Latin name (Suidae)??? I think it is fine as it is.
4. Randombob-omb4761 (talk) Per Yoshi876.

@Yoshi876 - Well, when has this wiki ever been known for simplicity? False Bowser isn't Fake Bowser, Phony Bowser, etc.. And just look at the first couple sentences of [[Cranky Kong]! You can't say that "cantankerous old curmudgeon" is simple at all.--UM3000

In names it should be as simple as possible, I find False Bowser actually quite simple it's Bowser, but not the true Bowser. And something that is meant to aid in navigation should be as simple as possible, so that younger readers don't get confused. Kids may not know what a Swine is, but they will likely know what a Pig is. Yoshi876 (talk)

I believe that the name "False Bowser" was confirmed as an official name in Super Mario 3D Land, so as the official names take precedence we don't look for simplicity unless it's a conjectural title.
