Talk:Fire (enemy)

Move to Fire (Donkey Kong)

I don't think the name "Fire (100m) specifies what game he's from, should this be moved to Fire (Donkey Kong)? - Starluxe

I agree, considering some conversions have them overtake Fireballs in other levels. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:15, August 4, 2024 (EDT)

Agreed, the identifier is very strange. Are there any other article titles that uses a level as an identifier?--Platform (talk) 10:19, August 4, 2024 (EDT)

Not that I could find, it's even stranger how "Fire (Donkey Kong)" redirects here too. This should defiently be moved for consistency. - Starluxe

I disagree, because that could easily make people think it was Fireball (Donkey Kong) which it often shares a designation with. Having the identifier specify the level makes it so it's clear which it is without having to visit the page itself. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:16, August 8, 2024 (EDT)

Still, the page should be moved to something else due to ports including this enemy on stages that aren't 100m. Someone might also get confused what "100m" is, they might it means the 100m Dash from M&S games. Fire (enemy) could also work as a new name. - Starluxe

Okay, due to a previous discussion, I feel like it's best to make a proposal out of this on what the name of this page should be.

• Fire (100m) is the current name, which is pretty weird due to it's different identifier, also, ports of this game include this enemy on the levels that aren't 100m.
• Fire (Donkey Kong) is a better name, however it might get confusing with Fireball (Donkey Kong), but, notices exist.
• Fire (enemy) is another better name, however it would be kind of inconsistent on what has the name of the game or "enemy" as the identifier.

Keep as is

1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - This makes the most sense as a way to differentiate from the Fire that is used in every other level in most (including the original) versions of the game.

Move to Fire (Donkey Kong)

1. Starluxe (talk) Personal preference
2. PrincessPeachFan (talk): Way more obvious.
3. Platform (talk) Per all
4. Ahemtoday (talk) For clarity and consistency.
5. Camwoodstock (talk) How the heck did "Fire (100m)" escape scrutiny for so long, anyways? Per all.

Move to Fire (enemy)

1. Hewer (talk) I believe this is the option supported by MarioWiki:Naming, as "type of thing" identifiers ("enemy" in this case) are top priority, and I don't think any other enemy is primarily called "Fire". As for the other Donkey Kong enemy, it's called "Fireball", not "Fire", so Template:Distinguish can handle that.

Comments

@Hewer: Only thing I could find is an alternate name for Flimflams. Is that enough to knock us down the identifier priority list, do you think? Ahemtoday (talk) 01:23, August 16, 2024 (EDT)
