Talk:Special Moves

Weird redirect?

Wouldn't it make more sense for this to redirect to List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars special moves or something? Or if there's more uses of the name I'm unaware of, a disambiguation page of some sort? Blinker (talk) 16:59, November 15, 2023 (EST)

"Special move" is also used in Smash, PM64, and TTYD. I'm not really sure there is a better option for a redirect here when SMRPG, Smash, and PM "special moves" are all so mechanically different, but do share the fact they are listed here. Hmm… Technetium (talk) 08:07, December 30, 2024 (EST)

If they all share the name Special move then it would make sense to make a redirect page. — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 08:16, December 30, 2024 (EST)

Just not fully sure what they'd each link to. I guess for PM64 and TTYD you could just link to the Star Spirits and Crystal Stars, but I have no clue on what to do about Smash. Technetium (talk) 08:26, December 30, 2024 (EST)

A new category page perhaps? — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 08:29, December 30, 2024 (EST)

Oh never mind, there is one already. We should make a disamb page then - I'd call it "Special move" and make "Special Move" a redirect to that though, it's typically not capitalized. Technetium (talk) 08:34, December 30, 2024 (EST)

Actually this begs the question, what is the source for those names? Are they just being called that by the wiki because they are unique moves or are they formally called special by the games or other official material? — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 08:38, December 30, 2024 (EST)
