::::::::::The ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' material is new so it's [[Talk:Super Mario Bros. Wonder#A note on the Game Informer source|in flux]], but that's beside the point. The conjecture override was an idea I spitballed off the cuff and didn't expect would get greenlit so soon. Dev info is one thing since we already take some leeway in rendering them (e.g. Bob-omb Fish is not bobombfish), but I think it would be fundamentally unencyclopedic to use fan-translations/localizations as subject titles. The example of Big Run Run Packun, having such overlap with the [[Talk:Super Mario Bros. Wonder#Japanese Enemy Names|Japanese name]] (でかランランパックン), makes me believe that safeguards are at the very least a necessity before this goes off the rails.

:::::::::::You know, when the "Kodeka" enemies get actual English names, the "Kodeka" will probably be translated as "Hefty" anyways, so as obvious as stuff like [[Big Goombrat]] may seem... it's still much a temporary "until we get an official name" thing.

::::::::::::...''Is'' the giant Goombrat that obvious, though? In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', they're the equivalent of that game's Big Goomba, whereas in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', they're the equivalent of that game's Hefty Goomba. So if they're are anything like the Goombas, they're technically two separate things, but are merged for convenience sake. That means giving an "educated guess" name for it doesn't really make sense since you can argue they're not even the same. That's just more flaws in this idea, in addition to what I said [[Talk:Mega Kantera|here]]. I believe I'd oppose if we got consensus on it.
