Lanky Kong distinguish template

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.

Earlier, I had put a distinguish template on this regarding Lanky Kong due to him being referred to as "this crazy Kong" in the DK Rap, and it was removed because "no one would search for that looking for him." I object to that statement on numerous counts: the DK Rap is the most well-known aspect of Donkey Kong 64 due to its highly memetic status (as in, it is a standard template for many video/audio remix practices), and the song does not actually mention him by name. It isn't unlikely at all, therefore, that someone would misconstrue the line as referring to his name. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:32, January 7, 2024 (EST)

Because we don't really do meme status when it comes to searching for things on this Wiki? PrincessPeachFan (talk) 13:04, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Ok but the touch-and-go situation described by Doc is pretty realistic nonetheless. If all of your knowledge on the DK franchise is the DK Rap and you're curious about the funny orangutan character from the third verse, "crazy Kong" is the closest to name you can latch on to. The distinguish tag would aid you on that. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 13:50, January 8, 2024 (EST)
