Talk:Rare reef

How should we handle foreign names?

I feel like each individual reef deserves to have its foreign names listed, but how would we handle that? Having 20 subsections of names in other languages would look awful, but trying to fit them to be with each reef wouldn't work with the table format we currently have. But is this really enough to warrant a separate "List of rare reef names in other languages" page? What ideas do you guys have? Technetium (talk) 22:25, December 2, 2024 (EST)

I propose we make a new page for every reef, adding the respective poem, pictures of its replica, its relative location on the map, and the earliest point in the game when you can spot it (since some reefs are gated by closed currents) on the page. And of course, the names. Johnny-2076 (talk) 03:11, December 3, 2024 (EST)

That's what we were originally going to do, but then we thought it would be too much. You bring up good points though, maybe we should just make separate pages too… and then for the M&LB template we just link to this list instead of each separate one to keep it shorter. I'd still like to hear from others though. Technetium (talk) 06:30, December 3, 2024 (EST)

We could include another column in the table for foreign names as with the Luigi's Mansion Boo lists. Nightwicked Bowser 06:33, December 3, 2024 (EST)

That would probably not work. Luigi's mansion only have two other languages aside from English, and the table in that page only have the Japanese names. M&LB has seven different languages. Johnny-2076 (talk) 07:47, December 3, 2024 (EST)
