Talk:Jar

Name

It has been suggested this be moved to jar. However, this is not the solution, as there are multiple different objects here. The ones derived from the Doki Doki Panikku ones should be moved to jar, yes, but the Yoshi's Island-based ones, which are completely different other than being based off of a similar cylindrical vessel, should be moved to pot. "Vase" should become a disambiguation page between Magic Vase, Ghost Vase, that VBWL enemy spawner, and the other two objects listed here (jar and pot), as they are still vases. Also maybe a link to Breaking the Bank for Mimi's vase. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:26, 5 December 2017 (EST)

Magic Vase should be the main Vase article, though the Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2 and Yoshi's Island objects do appear to be two different subjects. LinkTheLefty (talk) 05:55, 5 December 2017 (EST)

Except there already is a vase subject other than this. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:58, 5 December 2017 (EST)

"Vase (object)" then? Either way, I think Magic Vase has had enough time for someone to find a source. LinkTheLefty (talk) 06:04, 5 December 2017 (EST)

I thiiiiiink I might recall the name from hint block text? Not sure though. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:32, 5 December 2017 (EST)

Arbitrary sorting of information

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.

We have Jar here, we have Jar (Mario Kart series), we have Vase, and we have Vase (Yoshi's Story). There's information scattered between these three pages that functionally overlaps (particularly minor Mario Kart appearances; the Yoshi's Story page is the only one without an MK section), they all look about the same, and they're all at least based around the same generic object. I'm not sure what specifically, but something needs changed here. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:11, January 18, 2025 (EST)

Perhaps that means they have to be merged. Super Mario RPG (talk) 13:22, January 18, 2025 (EST)

Honestly, thinking about it, we could just split off the jars from Super Mario Bros. 2, merge the Yoshi's Story vase to that, then maybe merge the remains with each other. We'd basically have an article for jars/vases that work like Warp Pipes, and an article for regular jars/vases. We could possibly also keep the Yoshi's Island vase in its own article and move the Princess Peach: Showtime info to the Jar article, but that may leave the remaining Jar article rather barebones, with only info for Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart and Peach Showtime. rend (talk) (edits) 13:26, January 18, 2025 (EST)

That suggestion works. I do recommend a merge at the very least. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 13:52, January 18, 2025 (EST)

Also, none of the pages seem to cover the Luigi's Mansion vases/jars/pots. Like the ones the Poltergust can spin and make treasure come out of them, or Jarvis's objects of varying roles. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:41, January 18, 2025 (EST)

Are those even covered at all in this wiki? If not, well, time to expand some pages... It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 15:27, January 19, 2025 (EST)
