Huh??

? Block from Super Mario World 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.

Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi are in this category?? Blinker (talk) 16:53, January 11, 2024 (EST)

Pirate Land, probably? DK and Wario are here too. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 11:43, January 12, 2024 (EST)
I think we need to remove them from the category because it's not a recurring role of theirs. Super Mario RPG (talk) 11:49, January 12, 2024 (EST)
This is a problem I have with these career- and role-based categories. They're perfectly useful for characters whose role or career is a defining part of their characterization (e.g. Mario in Category:Plumbers), but come across as out of place when used for characters who only serve such a role in a few select appearances. Swallow had a proposal on the elemental creature categories to tighten their definition to subjects strongly associated with the element in question, so perhaps one of us could do something similar with the career and role categories? Granted, such a proposal would span many, many categories — and I'm still in the middle of discussing Category:Thieves! SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:59, January 12, 2024 (EST)
Since it was done for elemental creatures, it would make sense to do the same for here. Super Mario RPG (talk) 15:01, January 12, 2024 (EST)
Would you be up to pitching this massive change to our status quo, or do you think someone else should propose this instead? SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:38, January 14, 2024 (EST)
Donkey Kroc from the episode Ape-Nesia from the Donkey Kong Country television series
To be fair, DK was briefly a pirate in the cartoon episode "Ape-Nesia" after being fooled by Skurvy. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:24, January 14, 2024 (EST)

Super Show episode "Pirates of Koopa" This man owns a seedbox for anyone to use, and while he's torrenting, his download/upload ratio for all the several thousand files of Switch ROMs and illicit kpop and R&B girl group music he's seeding is 1:8. No I don't think Mario should be classed as a pirate even if he took a pirate alias in Pirates of Koopa. Mario It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 13:31, January 14, 2024 (EST)
Indeed, I think the only "pirate alias" character that should be classified is K. Rool, since it was important in the games he had it, and even when he doesn't, he still tends to hang out on a pirate ship. Maybe Wario too because his "Captain Wario" guise is somewhat important in Game & Wario... oh wait, that actually has its own page. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:34, January 14, 2024 (EST)
Yeah it was central to a plot of an entire game. Not like Bowser who's just playing pretend for the occasion. The guy couldn't even get himself a parrot, while Captain K. Rool tried to but found out he was allergic to pulviplumes found on Squawks. Mario It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 13:39, January 14, 2024 (EST)

Category:Magicians I also implore you to look at. The picture here should give you hint enough on how what kinds of characters are in there too. In fact just look at some subcategories in Category:Characters such as Category:Royalty (guess who's also categorized under this??) and anything in Category:Workers. I also believe it is a crime that in spite of all this, this wiki does not have a category on cowboys. Mario It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:39, January 14, 2024 (EST)
