Split Lava Bud

Considering that Crystal Bit has already been split from Crystal King, but also considering that the Lava Bud was merged with a proposal, is it necessary to make a proposal to call for its split? I'll also throw out that Petit Piranha exists as an independent article. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 14:04, 11 August 2017 (EDT)

I mean, considering that this is the only boss-created enemy from a Mario RPG that doesn't have its own article (as far as I know), I don't really see why it'd need a proposal. Besides, both other types of Piranha Plant buds have their own pages, and they don't even have official names. Niiue (talk) 20:31, 12 August 2017 (EDT)

With Crystal Bit split from Crystal King via proposal and Petit Piranha already split from Lava Piranha, I don't see why the Lava Bud should be left by the wayside. Yes, they're extensions of the Lava Piranha - so are Bungee Buds and Naval Buds and the previously mentioned enemies. Otherwise, the game treats them as individual enemies in every regard, with different names, different stats, and different abilities, like a proper enemy. If they're considered to be separate in-game, their articles should also be separate.

Comments

Because there was a proposal to merge these and until this proposal passes that is the law of the wiki Chester Alan Arthur (talk)

Shouldn't we just cancel this proposal and enact the changes immediately, given the mass support and need for consistency? ^(T|C) 23:37, 21 August 2017 (EDT)

No this proposal hasn't passed and therefore hasn't overturned the previous consensus. Chester Alan Arthur (talk)

I just wanna mention not too long ago we just about unanimously axed a dedicated "Piranha Bud" page, as seen here... now we're bringing it back almost unanimously. Guys, make up your minds, pls. ~Camwood777 21:03, 29 August 2017 (EDT)

They're not the same thing. "Piranha Bud" was a fictitious species that assumed that Lava Bud, Bungee Bud, and Naval Bud were derived species of it despite there being nothing to support this idea beyond their similar appearances. Lava Bud is the real enemy that appears in a real boss battle with real traits that set it apart. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:11, 29 August 2017 (EDT)

Fair point. I still don't understand why we didn't just make that thing a disambiguation page, though. ~Camwood777 10:26, 30 August 2017 (EDT)
