And again more things befuddle the Stone Statue situation. I watched a playthrough of Unicorn's Cave to refamiliarize myself with the 'Dogger, and I saw ''two'' obstacles that could fit under the Stone Statue obstacle umbrella. The first was this goofy gargoyle in side-scrolling segments that looked vaguely like SMB1 Bowser's head (and I'm pretty sure was used as a target for a hookshot or counterpart in some game(s)), which was similar to the mounted Mau or Ra except only firing energy balls straight forward. The second was this relief that appeared in a row constantly (and noisily) spitting fire that needed blocked with a magnetbol, and thus was similar to LA's Flame Fountain as well as some of the fire-breathing statues in ''Spirit Tracks''. Any knowledge of any official names for these? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:59, 6 December 2020 (MST)

I have found the alleged "seikizō" pun is [https://youtu.be/jZ4rsCrdykA?t=364 nonexistent, it's just sekizō]. With this in mind, should we simply merge the decorative "Rocklops statue" and perhaps the fire-shooting "Eye Guard" to it? In FS, some of them are decorative and used as arrow switches, much like specific ones in ALttP and LA.

I regret to inform you that my only real exposure to that franchise is ''Super Mario Bros. Crossover'' and an overabundance of stuff about some flower pot character.

== Stalfos->Gibdo->ReDead? ==
Hello, I was wondering if you'd agree with putting Gibdo as a variant of Stalfos and ReDead in turn as a variant of Gibdo, the logic being that Gibdo started (and usually is in later fixed-camera appearances) a stronger counterpart to Stalfos, while ReDead started out as a weaker counterpart for Gibdo for their behavior in free-camera appearances. Currently, they are simply listed as relatives. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:03, 29 December 2020 (MST)
:They seem pretty different to me, as the functional difference is Warrior has a sword while normal Stalfos are bone-throwers. Admittedly, a lot of the devs were returning from ALttP (having previously returned for FSA), but Warrior seems a bit more like how ALttP Moblins became Boarblins for the GB games.

== Re: Kirby ==
My ban there didn't really make much sense, but there's a user that I dislike, Trig Jegman, and there was this Project Cleanup project that was enforced around WiKirby. Even the slightest of maintenance tasks had to be marked off on there manually when all Project Cleanup is are [[Special:SpecialPages]] lists copied over but without updates. He expects users to mark stuff off his list, and sure that does help keep track, but it can come across as counterproductive, especially on active wikis where new images, redirects, etc. are changed all the time. At least with special pages, the lists are automatically updated and removed. Manually updating the lists -- and therefore expecting others to manually mark things off -- is counterproductive and a waste of time.
I was the first person on Super Mario Wiki to rename files, and Trig took it to a completely different level. I never meant for it to go this far. He flooded the recent changes with renames that sometimes were plain unnecessary. I complained to Mario Wiki staff about [https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Log/Trig_Jegman entirely unnecessary file renames]. For instance, moving File:Lakitu-NSMBU.png to File:NSMBU Lakitu Artwork.png isn't that necessary because the file name still describes that it's an image of Lakitu. Go even further and you'll find renames like File:Diddy Kong Racing - Midi fade (unused).png to File:DKR Unused Midi Fade Sprite.png . I fear that Trig would have not made Mario Wiki user friendly by essentially going around and enforcing his file naming views on others. He preferred listing game abbreviation first in a file name whereas me and a few others preferred listing the subject name first.
In some cases, [https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Greenfist_Wario_World_screenshot.png?action=history such as here], Trig would unnecessarily rename a file that I uploaded, so I renamed it back (although admins said it was unnecessary for the back and forth in general). In one case he [https://www.mariowiki.com/File:World_4-1_SMA_Flurries_screenshot.png?action=history ironically made the file name less specific]. There was nothing wrong with "World 4-1 SMA Flurries.png", but he moved it to "SMA World 4-1 Screenshot.png", and then I did it back. The only thing he made more specific is that it was a screenshot, but removed the mention of Flurries. Small and unnecessary excuses like that to rename a file. Renaming something like Luigi.jpg is more understandable since it's ambiguous file name, but a world 4-1 Flurries screenshot from ''Super Mario Advance'' should be specific enough on its own, even without the word "screenshot" in the title. I felt responsible for starting something that every other user did in moderation but Trig did too much of. 
Around the time Doomhiker booted Trig from Super Mario Wiki's community (in March 2020), Trig decided he would take his projects elsewhere. He managed to be promoted to patroller/moderator on wikis such as WiKirby and Wars Wiki and even ambassador on WikiBound. The reason's for Trig's ban I did not originally agree with, but over time I began to see him as untrustworthy and as someone who was trying to rewrite the Mario Wiki policies to his liking under the guise of helping the wiki.
Okay, so back to WiKirby, in September, I publicly called out Trig for trying to enforce something unnecessary on the community. The main admin (Samwell) tells me in chat that I was being a bully (I was not trying to be though, even if I admittedly might have had a harsh tone) and that Trig was being safe harbored at WiKirby after his Mario Wiki ban. I'm probably looking too much into this, but I couldn't help but feel that Project Cleanup was an act of nepotism to "give Trig a second chance". In any case, it should be entirely someone's choice whether or not they want to help, especially since Special:SpecialPages exists. I even tried to explain Special:WhatLinksHere to Samwell, but he wasn't having it. He banned me for disrespectful behavior (for 3 months), and then an indefinite ban when I angrily insulted him and Trig on my talk page, which was then deleted. There's some more details, but I gave the main points.
I admit guilty for trying to enforce a Mario Wiki style on other wikis, ironically to make it more user-friendly. Seeing as NIWA isn't competent (and feels like the United Nations in that both call themselves an organization but have certain fields of overreach in each of the wikis [or countries if we're talking about United Nations]), I eventually found that it was Mario Wiki that I was for. I didn't want to see a Gamepedia wiki linked to on Mario Wiki, especially since Mario Wiki is the best and proudest independent wiki, and I felt it would contradict its proudly independent message.
My mistake was trying to fix NIWA all along. Rather than that, if I disagree with them a lot and that there's numerous things in which I think could be improved upon (that would not go through on the wiki), then the solution is making an alternative. This is why Triforce Wiki exists. So  I've done a lot of wiki projects in respect to Mario Wiki (as it bothered me how behind wikis are). Takes a long time to build it all up, and eventually felt there were enough wikis to make a simple link exchange, especially to help keep track. I ensured it would not be a NIWA ripoff and would have its own unique wikis and build upon NIWA's flaws while also having its own originality. The main focus are smaller franchises like Crash or Banjo, although members like Final Fantasy and Triforce are still a part of it but are not the main focus (though ironically Triforce Wiki could qualify as the flagship seeing as a lot of the inspiration/history stems from this wiki). If anything, it's a link exchange of extended Mario Wiki-related (or similar) projects (not including NIWA ones like WiKirby because, well, it's in NIWA), and appeared to be the very goal I was working toward all this time. Communities outside Mario Wiki could join if they wanted to, but one of the main messages is the acknowledgement of Mario Wiki's universal flexibility and the goal to create and develop more wikis like it. I wanted to originally have Jiggywikki in NIWA, but due to NIWA's lack of interest, apathy, and incompetence (Zelda Wiki), I decided that it's not worth trying. I'm glad Jiggywikki did not end up being part of NIWA, as Gaming Wiki Network reflects what I've been aiming for all along.

==Creating a Champion==
So this Christmas I received ''Age of Calamity'', ''Cadence of Hyrule'', and ''Creating a Champion'' (<s>and a whole mess of clothes</s>). Have you any knowledge or opinions as to how we should go about its text? Since it deaals almost exclusively with concept art, it's mostly like the relevant section of HH and as such is unlikely to have as much fancruft with it regardless, but a few things still pique my curiosity, such as the blights being identified as Phantom Ganons and the multiple ideas about the evolution of Gerudo ears (natural evolution from crossbreeding with Hylians or supernatural result of shame from producing Ganon?). (<s>Also I dang near squeed at seeing Goriya and Vire on the back of the Cadence package</s>) [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:34, 31 December 2020 (MST)
== Almost Armos ==
Do you have any thoughts on whether the "Armos Warrior" from ''Oracle of Ages'' is an actual Armos?

== Belligerent torch ==
So what do you think about naming for the obstacle torch that acts like the Stone Statues from the first game? Through our source priority, I think "Face Lamp" is the highest, but since the name is only relevant to LA I was wondering if we should use an alternative. The FS PRIMA guide uses "Blazing Watch Tower" which is more broad, and we could alternatively have "torch (obstacle)" (or a full merge to "torch (object)").

I'm thinking we can give these strings a special level of priority between in-game and from-guide, because in this case, we at least know that people who were actually in development and/or localization created these names and most likely intended for them to be seen by players at some point in development.

== Hylians and other "precursor" civilizations ==
So, after thinking through it, I believe "Hylian" should refer to specifically the civilization descended from the Goddess Hylia's reincarnation, as that seems to be what it is used for (or at least initially). I cannot remember if ALBW mentions them in any capacity, however. On that subject, there are also the Mudora, Zonai, and other such civilizations that are only really present through relics, how should they be covered? Under 'implied characters?'

== Demon Tribe ==
So someone in the Discord brought up how many instances of "Demon Tribe" in the Japanese script of various games are omitted from the localized versions. I know Agahnim called it the "tribe of evil" when taunting Link and "Demon Tribe" is used to describe Ghirahim's swords in ''Hyrule Warriors'', but is there any notable other instances of it in Japan I should know about, and if so, does it connect to how enemies like Mo[l]blin and Goriya were initially described as "devils" and how Ganon's minions were said to be from the underworld? I figured a demon article wouldn't be a bad idea, but we'd need all the concrete info we can get. Of course, in ''Spirit Tracks'' and ''Skyward Sword'' they effectively drive the plot with all the "Demon King"/"Demon Lord" type of stuff, particularly in the respective backstory where a war against them culminated in the Demon King being imprisoned, but I digress.

== Zelda's Adventure (in the Netherlands) ==
So, inspired by your LA list, I went through scans of the Dutch official CD-i magazine and compiled a [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick#Zelda.27s Adventure: The Legend of the Celestial Signs enemies|list of enemy names]] from it, and aside from a single miniboss is absolutely comprehensive in that regard (having an assortment of names not even ZeldaWiki has). However, some enemies are referred to in generic, lowercase (and Dutch) terms, like "reuzeninktvis" and "schildpadden" for a giant squid and sea turtle enemy, respectively.

== Stalfaux ==
So a number of skeletal characters I am unsure of whether to consider Stalfos or not. These include the giant bosses Stallord and Skeldritch (who at least have association, but do not seem to have sapience...or feet), a reaper-like boss in a Gibdo-infested tomb in ''Zelda's Adventure'' named Malmord, as well as NPCs Gar & Dion, the "Piratians" (which itself may simply be a Subrosian-missing-the-point of a name), and their Cap'n. Stallord is also a hangup to me for clearly not being human, so it would make sense IMO to leave it on the same level as Stalkoblin, which I also do not consider a direct variant (though I consider Stalblind a Stalfos due to at least being sapient and presumably having been human(ish) at some point if his backstory at all relates to the original Blind's, though I'm digressing hard here).

Two of them seem to double as strategy guides by giving items, locations, and enemies bios throughout, though the fact that there's an actual story with Rumiko Takahashi-esque art (similar to what the Cagiva mangas did) seems to indicate its officialness above, say, the Million Publishing guide (the other has a kinda weird looking Link with a face a little too big for his head, and tends toward doing its own thing with the story). Additionally, the guidelike one gives separate sections for Fire Bago-Bago and Jermafenser II and has actual on-model solo art for the non-boss Great Palace enemies (those and Volvagia being the only ones really without due to how the final volume handled bosses). Note that the guide ones seem to have multiple authors, while the others are a work of a Ran Maru.
Anyways, I found all of these on archive.org:

I do see "(c) Nintendo" on the covers, but bearing in mind what Mister Wu said I wanted to be cautious. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 06:10, January 3, 2022 (UTC)
== Twilight Dark World ==
As I finally replaced my damaged nunchuck, I am starting a replay of TP anew (meaning activity here will probably increase from the nothing it has been). Right offhand, I notice highlighted references to Twilit Hyrule as a "'''world of shadows'''," "'''dark realm'''," "'''realm of shadows'''," etc. I recall HE and ZE listing TP as an appearance of the Dark World (akin to it sometimes being the "Evil Realm" or "Dark Realm"), so I was wondering if the Japanese script just called it the dark world instead of playing coy with syntax like the English one does.

== Zol name meaning ==
Been meaning to ask this for a while. A jRPG I like, ''Phantasy Star IV'', has a slime enemy called [https://youtu.be/DZelfpM9Y90?t=7645 Zol Slug], which, when there are exactly two, fuse together into a giant "Meta Slug." Do you know if [[Zol]] has any actual meaning that would connect this to the extremely similar ''Zelda'' enemy?
