Talk:Ring Beamer

New/Old name

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

The English Mario Portal site gives the name "Pulse Beam" for Ring Beamer, different from English Encyclopedia (which was "Ring Beam"). Seems like this should be an easy move since the current source is internal data. However, the problem is that pulse beam is also the name of a different offshoot from Super Mario Odyssey. How do we go about this? Move both articles but give the Super Mario Odyssey one the identifier since it's only in one game? Refer to both with their internal names and turn Pulse Beam into a disambig? Or do something else? LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:26, August 14, 2022 (EDT)

According to at least one of the Japanese guidebooks (check the third sample page here), the ones in Odyssey are also called "リングビーマー" (Ring Beamer). It seems like they're meant to be the same thing; perhaps a merge is in order. PopeLuigi (talk) 19:56, August 14, 2022 (EDT)

Interesting. This would explain what happened there. I'd be in favor of that, then. LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:13, August 14, 2022 (EDT)

I'd be in favor for a merge. -- FanOfYoshi 11:44, November 28, 2022 (EST)

Would a proposal be needed here? It seems pretty straightforward. Blinker (talk) 09:35, October 28, 2023 (EDT)

I don't think it would, but we never know. -- FanOfYoshi 10:03, October 28, 2023 (EDT)
