Split Category:Reptiles and Amphibians to Category:Reptiles and Category:Amphibians

No Split 4-14

Amphibians are completely different animals from reptiles. I suggest that we should split this category into two separate categories. And if you say the category is too minor to be warranted into separate categories, Squid has its own category.

Split

1. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) No really, they are completely different animals.
2. Master Koopakid (talk) I agree, in Science we had this thing about Reptile and Anphibian DON'T LAY THERE EGGS IN COOL ENVIROMENTS AND REPTILES SOMETIMES HAVE GILLS! I think
3. Brianne the Frank (talk) Well DUH. I mean if there were only like two each I'd get it but there's a ton! And yeah they're completely different. It's a nobrainer! Wait before I say that I guess I'd better read the opposition... Response to Walkazo: Frogs are amphibians and there are quite a few frogs... Yoshis are amphibians (apparently) and there are a ton of Yoshis... I am sorry but I have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Response to Liamroche: They're different ENOUGH. I mean have you ever seen a frog with scales, or a snake with smooth slimy skin? Response to Bowser's luma... most of them I could tell the difference. Geesh. Not that hard.
4. Magikrazy51 (talk) See my comment below. Slippy's only defense was that both him and Leon had long, stretchy tongues. So I'm on Leon's side. Team Star Wolf!

Leave it as it is

1. Walkazo (talk) - Reptiles and Amphibians do actually get grouped together in science (i.e. Herpetologists study both), so this is not that bad. Plus, the resulting amphibian category would be too small, and on that note, Category:Squids should be deleted (it's just the Bloopers plus two extra things with "squid" as/in their names: its absence will not harm navigation). Splitting this would be too much work, not enough gain.
2. Coincollector (talk) - There is no science in the marioverse, and many of the creatures's descriptions involved in this say reptile or amphibian-like but not specifically one or another.
3. Marioguy1 (talk) - What is a reptile? Is there a specific Mario game that has reptiles noted as reptiles? Or are we just looking to put categories on pages? If it's the latter, this should be deleted, not split.
4. MrConcreteDonkey (talk) - Per all.
5. Ultramariologan (talk) Per all.
6. Bowser's luma (talk) We would have to determine which was which, and that would be a waste of time. Per all.
7. SWFlash (talk) I am Zero SWFlash! Failing this proposal to open kill proposal. SWFlash continues contributing.
8. Rise Up Above It (talk) But there are six cute little sub-categories! Six! *puppy eyes* And soo many pages!!!! *moar puppy eyes*
9. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) Per all.
10. WigglerWhoopin'Warrior135 (talk) Per Walkazo.
11. Liamroche (talk) They are similar creatures.
12. New Super Mario (talk) Per all. It doesn't much matter anyway.
13. Volatile Dweevil (talk) Per Marioguy1.
14. AnimalCrossingCool (talk) Per all.

Or just delete. Nothing will change. SWFlash

Yes, in my opinion deleting is the best course of action. There are no confirmed "reptiles and amphibians" - this category is completely useless and it is based on speculation. When this fails, I'm making a "kill this category" proposal. Marioguy1 (talk)

Why can't you just ask BLOF to delete this proposal and make a new one? The process will go by much faster. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:34, 8 January 2011 (EST)

BTW, why can't we kill the human, bird, dinosaur, dragon, bat, fish, arachnid, etc. category either? What makes the other categories so special? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:38, 8 January 2011 (EST)

Exactly how long will the amphibians page be? I've said this before, a detailed wiki is good, but one with excess pages about a similar subject is not. Mpeng (talk)

@Brianne the Frank: I know what a frog is, thank you, but even including all the frogs (and toads and Muddee if you count him as a salamander), there's still only 17 amphibians, and that's too small for categories like these (i.e. common sense categories meant to supplement the ones based on official stuff to make cross-game navigation easier, or at least, that's how I think of them). And Yoshi's aren't amphibians: that's a fan theory, and it's completely wrong; they're dinosaurs, which are reptiles. (On a side-note, they were originally designed as Koopas, which are also reptiles.) - Walkazo 00:00, 16 January 2011 (EST)

I, Magikrazy51 (talk) remember seeing an arguement like this in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Anyway, when Falco uses a codec on Wolf at Corneria, Leon Kowalski mentions how nice the water is. Slippy Toad mentions how his and Leon's class needs water to survive. Leon yells at Slippy for confusing their separate classes.

Considering the sheer number of snakes in the Mario series, I don't see why there isn't a subcategory for them, especially considering that there's a subcategory for frogs.

For the record, the only reason I'm making a proposal for this is because Category:Snakes was deleted recently by an admin.

1. Niiue (talk) Per proposal.
2. Time Turner (talk) It's got more entries than Category:Hedgehogs and nearly as many as Category:Jellyfish. Per proposal.
3. TheFlameChomp (talk) I don't see any problems with having this category. Per all.
4. Ultimate Mr. L (talk) Per all.
5. Yoshi the SSM (talk) Per all.

Comments

It would help this proposal if you had a list of some of the snakes in the Mario universes. I don't want to vote until I agree that there are enough snakes for a category.
Ultimate Mr. L (Talk-Contribs-Stats) 12:27, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

Alright, here's a quick list:

• Cling Cobra
• Cobra
• Cobrat
• Earth Link
• Giant Snake
• Giant Snake (Wario Land 3)
• Hisstocrat
• Mad Adder
• Nyololin
• Queen Hisstocrat
• Rattly the Rattlesnake
• Slippa
• Snake (enemy)
• Snake (species)
• Tryclyde

Is this an all-inclusive list? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 20:12, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

It is, as far as I know. Note that there are multiple viable subcategories with less pages. Niiue (talk) 20:19, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

OK, this is completely ridiculous. Anyone who has even looked at a zoology textbook for 3 seconds knows that Reptiles and Amphibians are classified completely separately, and Birds are closer to Reptiles than Amphibians are. The loss of the last proposal regarding this seems to have been to a serious lack of understanding of taxonomy, and these need to be split. In science, they are never classified together, period, except for that they're both Vertebrates. The 5 main groups of Vertebrates are Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals, none of which are classified within each other. This needs reversed. It's just confusing. If this goes through, the two categories will be split, and each article and subcategory on the current "Reptiles and Amphibians" category will be moved to the respective category that they belong to. If it doesn't, this won't change, but I'll probably have my faith in this site damaged immensely.
