Rename to Big Goombrat
I thought Policy allows for this name now, how come it was changed back? --Sgt. Sarge (talk) 22:17, February 9, 2024 (EST)
- Consider: Kodeka Kuribo isn't Big Goomba, it is Hefty Goomba. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:12, February 9, 2024 (EST)
- "BigKakibo" is the internal name for it in Mario Wonder, but if that is the same conventions used for "Hefty Goombas" internal name then lets call it "Hefty Goombrat"--Sgt. Sarge (talk) 09:34, February 10, 2024 (EST)
- There has been some confusion in the page's move history on where to move it to. For the time being and per MarioWiki:Naming#Derived_names (where we know the source enemy's English name, Hefty Goomba, we know this enemy's Japanese name, and the qualities of this enemy are similar to Hefty Goomba's qualities), I've moved it to Hefty Goombrat. This edit in MarioWiki:Naming[1], I believe, is the change in policy RHG cited[2] when moving the page.

- That section is non-sense and seems to have been stealth-edited into the policy. Why use a fanmade name when there's an official name for this thing?! -- KOOPA CON CARNE 12:24, February 10, 2024 (EST)
- I don't believe it's a "fan-made name", we're piecing it from official sources and relying on relatively predictable name. Note our policy also says that English names take precedence over the Japanese ones. We decided to change the policy over issues naming the Wonder-variants of the enemies: it's all over the place with English and Japanese names despite a very predictable naming scheme. I don't see how it's beneficial to be overly cautious and rely on using "Deka Hoppin" or "Wonder Hoppin" rather than "Big Hoppycat" or "Wonder Hoppycat". It's me, Mario!
