Two things:

1. Is the Super Mario 64 ring even called a Coin Ring? I think it should be called Water Ring because it comes from a Manta and the jet stream underwater (as {{conjecture}} if no source confirming the name is found)
2. The coin rings in SM64 operate very differently than the coin rings in 3D Land and 3D World. The SM64 coin ring gives no coins but rather air and a secret number to get a Power Star while 3D Land and 3D World give the player 5 coins.

I propose a split, but I give you two options to work with along with an oppose vote.

Proposer: Wildgoosespeeder (talk)
Deadline: October 13, 2016, 23:59 GMT

Move SM64 Contents Into Template:Fakelink

1. Wildgoosespeeder (talk) Per proposal. Very fond of this option as it makes the most sense.
2. Reboot (talk) Per. (Will change vote if a source confirming "Coin Ring" for SM 64)
3. NSY (talk) Preferred choice, per all.
4. AfternoonLight (talk) Per all!
5. Yoshi the Space Station Manager (talk) I think this is a splitting of the two. per all.
6. Bazooka Mario (talk) Split sounds reasonable here.

Keep Coin Ring for SM64 but Move 3D Land and 3D World Contents to a Different Page

1. Wildgoosespeeder (talk) Per proposal. Not fond of this option but a split should occur.

You can multi-vote per proposal if that is what you mean. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:32, 29 September 2016 (EDT)

SM64DS Prima pocket guide: "You have to swim through five of the rings it trails behind it [the Manta] in a row."
SM3DL Prima eGuide: "Many levels contain large golden rings called coin rings. These are typically used to mark suggested paths. Pass through a coin ring to collect five coins"
SM3DW Prima eGuide: "Step through a Gold Ring to instantly snag three Coins without having to worry about a time limit at all."

That's all the guides I can access. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 13:02, 29 September 2016 (EDT)

We got our source for the 3DS games but SM64 is vague and has no official name. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:31, 29 September 2016 (EDT)

"Manta Ring" is not the best name for these rings. In Dire, Dire Docks, a jet stream spews out several of these rings. It would be better to call these "Water Rings" and use {{articleabout}} template to help readers guide to the appropriate ring. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:17, 29 September 2016 (EDT)

I was thinking that as well. I agree. Makes sense. I'll make the change. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:31, 29 September 2016 (EDT)
