Category talk:Super Mario Bros. 3 species

Necessity

There's so much overlap between this and Category:Super Mario Bros. 3 Enemies that it's incredibly redundant to keep both of them. As far as I can tell, the only differences I've noticed is that one gets Boom Boom the character and another gets Boom Boom the species, and the enemies category gets a few non-sentient obstacles such as Giant Cannonball and Roto-disc (although calling these obstacles "enemies" may be stretching its definition). Since the aforementioned pages won't be suddenly orphaned if the category no longer exists, these differences are too small to warrant having both categories. This may also extend to other enemy/species categories, such as NSMB2:Enemies and NSMB2 Species, but I haven't properly looked at them yet. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 23:39, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

Is this really necessary?

This is almost exactly the same as Category:Super Mario Bros. 3 Enemies, with the only differences being Beanstalk and Boom Boom (species) as far as I can tell. Niiue (talk) 19:54, 31 July 2017 (EDT)

Glad we're in agreement. However, an awful lot of the species and enemy categories overlap with each other, to the point where it'd be better to overhaul how the species category works from the ground-up and then decide which categories should be deleted.

Imo, species categories should probably only be used for non-enemy species (e.g. the birds in Super Mario Sunshine). Niiue (talk) 19:59, 31 July 2017 (EDT)
