Split the toy from the article

Template:SettledTPP Template:ProposalOutcome This proposal is meant for consistency with the other toy versions of enemies being split from their main counterparts, such as Shy Guy, Snifit, Pokey, Monchee, etc. While they aren't outwardly shown as such in the original game, the Nitpicker is depicted as having metallic wing joints in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!. The Mario vs. Donkey Kong appearance is a bit hard to make out, but it appears to be the same design used in future games. Additionally, the toy enemy is, to my knowledge, not referred to as a Nitpicker.

Proposer: LinkTheLefty (talk)
Deadline: February 4, 2020, 23:59 GMT

Support

  1. LinkTheLefty (talk) As explained.
  2. FanOfYoshi (talk) Per proposal.
  3. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) Per all.

Crap, I hadn't noticed this, if I had, I'd have definitely supported... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:36, February 5, 2020 (EST)

So, seeing that there are only 3 voters, it means we should wait 4 weeks to reopen the thing, right? --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 02:38, February 6, 2020 (EST)

To be honest, I don't think there will be be any problems if we just go ahead with the proposed change anyway - there was no opposition and it's only consistent with similar Mario vs. Donkey Kong series pages so I don't imagine it'd be controversial at all. You can always say that Doc's vote was in spirit. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:43, February 6, 2020 (EST)
