Splitting the Capsule article SPLIT 14-0 There's something strange around here: The capsule from SSB and the capsule from Mario Party series are merged INTO ONE ARTICLE, but, THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! I think we shoud split in into two articles: Orb, because it IS the Mario Party Capsule; and Capsule (SSB). Now you see, Orb is the redirect page, but this mustn't be a redirect; instead, the remaining article after the split will be an disambiguation of course. Still thinking to remain it so? There are reasons to split it: They look different (SSB capsules are looking like those medicine capsules (look at the Megavitamin), MP capsules and orbs are just... round capsules. You can even see what in a MP capsule/orb contains, never in a capsule). They ALSO work different, even because the game style differs (Orbs and MP capsules are placed on spaces, SSB capsules can be thrown anywhere). Effects are different TOO (SSB capsule: 1 o' the 8 chance it explodes, other seven will contain items, MP capsules and orbs will change the selected space in a Character Space, which effect will start when been stopped on). Color variations (The SSB capsule will always stay White/Red, the MP capsule/orb has a transperent part and a part which differs what for sort effect it has). Have I proven truth now? Do you think so as I? Give your own opinion. Proposer: Arend (talk) Deadline: December 11, 2008, 17:00 Support Arend (talk) - Per myself, of course Blitzwing (talk) - Per Arend. Stumpers (talk) - The merging of two subjects who share a name but are different characters is something we should be combating per the results of the Star Rod proposal awhile back. Canama (talk) - Per all Walkazo (talk) - Per all. Princess Grapes Butterfly (talk) Per all. Super-Yoshi (talk) - Per Stumpers and Arend. Tucayo (talk) - Per Arend, but they should be split in 3 pages, (Orb, Capsule (MP5) and Capsule (SSB)) Stooben Rooben (talk) - Per all. Randoman123456789 (talk) - Per all. Why are two completely different things merged into on article? Dom (talk) - Per all, especially our good old friend Logic. Yoshi Boo 118 (talk) - Per all, especially Arend. Ralphfan (talk) - Per all!! Master Hand (talk) Per all, mah boi! Oppose Comments To Tucayo: An Orb is just a different name for a Capsule, just as Toadstool is a different name for Peach, and we don't have an article for "Toadstool" and an article for "Peach." -- Son of Suns (talk)
