Kazooie

He is no longer an implied character so someone give me the permission to move it. Look at the article.

Images and Infoboxes

Can we include any images on this page? For example, should we put a real image of Annette Funicello here? We could also include images of their exact mention if they are mentioned in text. We could also do infoboxes if the "List of Implied Characters" header wasn't on all of them. Stumpers! 02:06, 4 January 2008 (EST)

5-Volt

I was wondering if 5-Volt should be included on this list? Stumpers! 17:38, 4 January 2008 (EST)

Yes! HyperToad

But wasn't she somewhat seen? That wouldn't really make her "implied". --Trogga 13:40, 10 January 2008 (EST)

Well... you can see what appear to be a sillhouette of her in Touched!, it could be her, but then, it could also be anyone.

5-Volt definately doesn't belong into this list. There is really only a sillhouette in Touched!, which wouldn't be worth an article. But in Twisted!, she appears in the epilogue of 9-Volt's story and tells him to go to bed. There her feet are visible. Later she looks after 9-Volt in his bed and tells him that he has to put his GBA away. Her sillhouette can be seen in the doorway. I think a character who is partly seen and even speaks doesn't belong here. --Grandy02 08:24, 8 April 2008 (EDT)
Speaking alone doesn't merit an article, but you're right. We included Mario and Luigi's Parents are not on this list. For consistency, we should either make 5-Volt its own article or include a link to M & L's parents (because if sillouetting defines a character as implied, then they are implied in the games and definite in other mediums).

List of

Rather then just characters can this be List of Implied Elements or something, to include things like The Blubbening? HyperToad

We decided that we should separate the Implieds by subject (we also have List of Implied Organizations and List of Implied Events,) otherwie, that list would be freaking huge.

Blitzwing

But neither helps with The Blubbening HyperToad
There ya go

Johnson

We saw Johnson, as we saw the rest of Lord Clump's troops in that opening scene. If no one protests, I'm splitting his section out of this article. Stumpers! 00:05, 20 January 2009 (EST)

On Talk:Johnson (X-Naut), it was agreed that he would be put here. He's never actually seen separate from all the other X-Nauts, so it's impossible to tell which X-Naut he actually is. — Stooben Rooben 00:09, 20 January 2009 (EST)
I just diagreed on the Johnson talk page, so there is no longer consensus (and thus I already seperated them). -- Son of Suns (talk)
The definition of an implied character is that (s)he never appears. Johnson, on the other hand, was seen as were all the other X-Nauts working for Crump at that point in time. Stumpers! 00:49, 20 January 2009 (EST)

Splitting Sections and Big Changes

I removed information on real world characters from other media, as well as extremely minor character's relating to already minor characters. It is assumed that characters like this can easily be mentioned within a sentence eon the characters actual page. I also cleaned up each character section to fix spelling errors and speculation. It might seem like mass deletion, but it's really mas cleaning.

ALSO: This page should be split up into sections like in game and other media. It is confusing to think a character could be relevant when they were only mentioned in something as the cartoons which have little relevance to the canon of the games. FD09

There is no such thing called canon in the Marioverse. It is purely speculative and has no value in this matter (see MarioWiki:Canonicity). Also, your ambitions are fine, but if you want to move content to another article, you have to actually move it there, not just delete it on one article and forget about it. Also: To decide which implied character is of importance and which not is not alone your decision! If you want to make some "big changes" to an article, you have to go through the propper channels and make a proposal first. You have still to adhere to the rules. - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 22:35, 20 October 2009 (EDT)
