 I've noticed that many games' pages are inconsistent with what are considered "enemies". Like for example, things like Fire Bars are listed with "enemies" on some pages, "objects" on others, and sometimes not even listed at all.  We should really decide whether things like this are "enemies" or not.

+== The ultimate proposal for division of variants ==
+{{Settled TPP}}
+{{Proposal outcome|cancelled}}
+Well, this is probably my most important proposal so far. I designed this proposal to address a problem that has existed for a long time on the wiki: the separation of enemies that are variants of different colors or different appearances. This has been a huge problem for the wiki, causing very questionable mergers and splits, causing arguments between users. For my part, I find it unfair that, for example, enemy variants with different names and different functions are merged because they are the same individuals, while other enemies, such as Sub-Goomba and Itsunomanika Heihō, are split, having minimal changes compared to their original variants.
+The proposal is simple: for an enemy to have its own page, it must meet at least two of the following rules:
+. It must have different mechanics than the original variant
+. It must have a different appearance than the original variant
+. It must have been recognized by Nintendo as a separate enemy on official pages or guides
+. It must have a different name in Japanese and other languages
+. If it appears in more than one game, it must be considered a separate enemy in at least 50% or more of its appearances to get its own page. Ex: Biddybud Red/Blue/Yellow no
+but Green Koopa/Red Koopa yes.
+Above the comments section there will be a list of enemies that will be divided that will be updated over time, if you want to add one, add it, it would help me as long as you take into account the rules above.

+===Support the proposal and start splitting===
+#{{User|Sorbetti}} Per proposal.
+===Oppose and leave the wiki as it is===
+#{{User|Power Flotzo}} To be honest, this proposal feels hastily written, especially considering someone else is working on a more detailed version of this, so I have to oppose.
+===List of enemies that will be divided===
+.Koopa Troopa= Green Koopa, Red Koopa, Yellow Koopa, Blue Koopa, Mask Koopa
+===Comments, suggestions and questions===
+I had already shared this with Sorbetti on their talk page, but I have been working with another user on a very similar policy proposal for multiple months. The (mostly complete, but still <u>unfinished</u>) draft can be viewed [[User:Nintendo101/flowerpot|here]]. It is aimed at clarifying our enemy coverage on the site, and would create the breathing room for colored variants to receive their own articles. The draft I have been working on has been a very big time commitment and incorporates some nuances not reflected in Sorbetti's proposal, and I asked them if they would be willing to withdraw there's. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 15:40, March 16, 2025 (EDT)
+:I understand, in that case I will cancel this proposal and wait for a more detailed one from you.[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]]) 15:44, March 16, 2025 (EDT)
