Is there a reason this is called "Big Bertha (Blaster)" instead of "Big Bertha (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)"? Niiue (talk) 17:50, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- Probably because the identifier is more descriptive of the enemy rather than the game name, per MarioWiki:Naming.

- Yep. Only if there's multiple uses of the same name for the same general type of thing should the identifier be a game - otherwise, it should just be the subject type itself, since that's simpler. - Walkazo 22:09, 27 January 2016 (EST)
- Then shouldn't the two Stretches be renamed, seeing as how "Boo" and "Shy Guy" are about as distinct as "Blaster" and "Cheep Cheep"? Niiue (talk) 03:56, 28 January 2016 (EST)
- Such as Template:Fakelink and Template:Fakelink? Yup, that makes sense. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:09, 28 January 2016 (EST)
