Talk:Empty Block

Is this even considered official? :| RAP... That name sounds pretty unofficial to the wiki... :|

No. That's why I put the "conjecture" template on it. I was gonna request a deletion, but... — Stooben Rooben 21:57, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

I for one feel this page is unnecessary. Any other opinions? Phoenix Rider 03:58, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

I think it's fine. Those Blocks are common gameplay elements in the Mario series. Time Questions 07:15, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Refill

Anyway, does used block is refillable?

Has Nintendo ever addressed the issue? If not, then we need not worry about reporting it on the article. · SMB (Talk) · 23:54, 15 May 2010 (EDT)

Another Name

"Used Block" is fine, but I think "Empty Block" would be better, since say that the block is empty is more understandable than say that it is used. Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 12:16, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

I can see what you are saying here, actually. Since not all Used Blocks have been 'used' by Mario/Luigi before getting to this phrase, 'Empty Block' makes more sense in context. Don't rename it yet, though, because some people may disagree with you. RandomYoshi^{(Talk • PMs • C)} 12:58, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

These types of article names are on a first come first serve basis Raven Effect (talk)

I see. Thanks for telling me so that I won't make the mistake of making a similar comment next time I see something similar. RandomYoshi^{(Talk • PMs • C)} 13:07, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

I didn't understand. Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 19:39, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

I think what Raven Effect said was that once there is one article name, it should stay like that (I don't necessarily agree with that statement.) It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:42, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

Thanks :) (But I still think Empty Block sounds better).

And I can't even do a proposal, right? Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 17:07, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

It's generally frowned upon since neither name is official Raven Effect (talk)

Official Name Found

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.

In the Super Mario Galaxy manual, page 10 (see the pdf here ), the official name of this block is "Block". Should we change the name of the page ? Block is a very "large" word, but it's the only official name found so far, so... PS : The SMG2 manual, page 11 (see here) also call this block "Block" Banon (talk) 18:00, 31 October 2012 (EDT) EDIT : I also checked the SMB, SMB3, SMW, SML, NSMB, NSMBW, SM3DL (not the NSMB2 or the Lost Levels) manuals and its name is not mentionned, but sometimes, under the list of the blocks or other stuff like this there is written something like "There are others surprises to discover", inclunding the empty block. Banon (talk) 18:26, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

I read through the manual and I din't see the word mentioned on either page you referred to. Marshal Dan Troop (talk)

This is a screenshot of the page 10 of the SMG manual : image Banon (talk) 03:52, 1 November 2012 (EDT)

That's not page 10 that's page 18. Marshal Dan Troop (talk)

Sorry. That was the page 10 of the pdf, where one page is two pages of the paper version. Anyway, should we rename the page ?

I don't know since we already have a page on blocks which covers all blocks that is called block. Marshal Dan Troop (talk)

I agree, but an official name, even ambiguous, is better than a conjectural name, no ? I don't know what to do. We could rename this page "Block (type)" and the current page to "Block (category)". But the problem is that it is not a category. Banon (talk) 04:19, 1 November 2012 (EDT)

One possible solution if we rename this is to make this "Block" and make this "Blocks", with the proper templates to avoid confusion and such. -- 1337star ^{(Mailbox SP)} 11:51, 1 November 2012 (EDT)

I think that it would be perfect, but does it exist a rule which forbid the plural in the title ? I have a doubt.

Are you sure that's the latest name? If you can find a newer one use that instead! Kelton2: Your neighborhood wiki helper. (talk) 08:14, 5 November 2012 (EST)
