Vine

I guess this is just the same as Vine? / Time Q 10:39, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

I Think so. Xzelion^ETC

Um?

Yeah. Um, where did the second image come from? CrystalYoshi 14:30, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Piranha Plant?

I'm wondering if the beanstalk in SMB3 - NSMBW is a type of piranha plant? (Not hurting Mario/Luigi/Yvan & Wolley)

The biggest Spike ever!!!

Vine

Should this article be moved to Vine, seeing as it's the most recent in-game name? TheDarkStar 13:53, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Probably. Same may go for moving "Warp Pipe" to "Pipe", which is also more common and recent. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:11, September 16, 2019 (EDT)

For what it's worth (if anything), I second both. AgentMuffin (talk) 01:35, September 17, 2019 (EDT)

I still believe the article should be moved per the "If a subject's name has changed over time" step of Project:Naming. The object is called Vine in the Super Mario Maker games, suggesting that this is the current official name of the object from the 2D platformers. The only newer game that the article relates to this Vine is Luigi's Mansion 3, and I haven't found an official name for this appearance.
Although I think this is a fairly clear-cut rename, and I've supported it here and raised the issue multiple times on the Discord server since September 2019, nothing has come of it. I recall no dissent, but no action, either, so I've become nervous to seek further consensus. If there was an expectation that someone steps up and moves the article themself, I don't have the permissions for this: the target page has revision history from 2007, before it became a redirect to this article.
I'm sorry if I come off as frustrated—I hold no ill will toward any party involved in this situation—but is there anything else I should do to try to get this discussed further or resolved at last? AgentMuffin (talk) 05:34, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

If a discussion isn't gaining traction after a while you can always start a proposal about it, those typically get more attention than talk page discussions do. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 14:49, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

Should probably be moved to "Vine (climbable)" to allow for a page on swinging vines as well (which are currently in a weird place on the rope page I believe). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:45, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

Well the swinging ones are technically climbable as well, but the beanstalk vine should take priority over it anyway. Agreed on the "Beanstalk"->"Vine" move; I think no one bothered to do it yet because it's a big page with many links, but if more recent games have been using that name, it should be moved.

While the changes are being enacted, I'm also going to recommend changing the earliest appearance to Donkey Kong Jr., especially if the swinging vines are going to be restructured here. Both the English and Japanese versions refer to them as vines as well (though sometimes the metallic objects in later levels are called chains), and they need coverage somewhere. They're even climbed a similar way in the original Super Mario Bros., as Mario/Luigi grabs the vine from the side like Donkey Kong Jr. did. They don't always come from blocks, after all.

Or, since the rope article seems to cover a very similar type of object under the "Donkey Kong (Game Boy)" section, would it be better to cover the Donkey Kong Jr. vines and chains in that article instead? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:12, November 12, 2021 (EST)
