A discussion in Discord with Camwood777 about Pattan's name in the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia had me double-check the page, and I noticed something we should probably clarify in this template. As it is now, it reads "If an official name appears, it is requested that the article should be moved to the correct name." Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. is, for all intents and purposes, an official source of information; it's just not one we recognize due to the heavily "borrowed" content it uses from us.

Wondering if we should change the sentence to read this: "If an official name appears that is not from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, it is requested that the article should be moved to the correct name.", with a link to MarioWiki:Naming#Super_Mario_Bros._Encyclopedia to clarify why we don't source them.

This will also be for the line in Template:Another language.

Support

1. Alex95 (talk) - I realize some users may just ignore reading the template and template information altogether, but that's their problem.
2. Results May Vary (talk) - I agree on this, although there could be future examples of more sources that take names from Super Mario Wiki.
3. Waluigi Time (talk) Per all.
4. Power Flotzo (talk) I'm all for this clarification. Per all.
