Talk:TEC

Now wait. How can TEC-xx have a gender? TWG

I have no idea. So should I change him and other male proverbs to it?

Coloring TEC's quotes

While I love the idea, it is very difficult to read on a white background. It should probably be changed back. --Technetium (talk) 20:09, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

Agreed, there is little reason for this flavor text to be green at all. Ray Trace^(T|C) 20:55, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

Maybe I should have made the text a darker green but I don't mind. -User:Jude da Dude

Move to TEC

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Following the recently passed proposals for Bobbery and Grodus, this is another Thousand-Year Door subject whose name needs to be looked at. The name TEC-XX only comes up when he first meets Peach, and the exact quote is "I am the TEC-XX. Many call me TEC." Following that "TEC" is what he's always called everywhere else in the game, and does appear to be the intended name for TEC as a character rather than TEC-XX which could just be the system name.

Comments

I've been having similar thoughts on Lord Crump's page too. Do you think it should also undergo the same treatment? - User:Jude da Dude

Probably not, "Lord Crump" is his target name in battle and Goombella calls him that in her email at the end of the game. Nightwicked Bowser 13:11, September 2, 2024 (EDT)

Yeah, he's almost always called Lord Crump. I mentioned this on Grodus's talk page I believe, but they even changed an instance of "Crump" to "Lord Crump" in the remake. Technetium (talk) 13:26, September 2, 2024 (EDT)

I have a question. Couldn't we just move the pages to the name they're always called normally instead of needing a proposal? PrincessPeachFan (talk) 08:58, September 3, 2024 (EDT)

If it were that easy, then I would have done it already. There are cases where other users would disagree with a move without there being a discussion and would move the page back so a proposal is the best necessary way to get an agreement for each case. The Koopalings' articles for example probably would have been moved to their shorter names but the latest proposal on the matter didn't pass so their articles have not been moved. My entire point is, we cannot just make these kind of changes on a whim and doing so is a level 2 offense in MarioWiki:Warning policy. Nightwicked Bowser 09:26, September 3, 2024 (EDT)
