I don't see why "Dexivines" are part of this article. They look similar to Tailpasarans, but the similarities end there. They don't behave like Tailparasans at all. Jimbo Jambo 20:28, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

{{split|Dexivine}} ;)
I agree 100%, by the way. —Ando (talk) 20:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Aha. Makin' sure this hasn't been discussed before. Jimbo Jambo 20:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Ok, well the situation first came about as a result of this edit over 2 years ago, claiming that they are Tailpasaran. To try and rectify this (without being too radical) I changed that section to indicate that they were not the same, only similar. Admittedly (as JJ points out) the similarity starts and ends with their shape...
The real problem with this enemy is that it doesn't have an official name, since they don't appear in the Nintendo Gallery in-game. Having said that, I think we're all in agreement that it's not a Tailpasaran. However, I don't think that we can justify moving to "Dexivine", as it's just a fan-created name. I'd actually suggest {{Merge|Dexihand}}, since they're far more similar (hence it being the source of their unofficial name!) Adam [ talk ] 21:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
But they are their own enemy, even if they don't have a name. Don't you have a conjectural title template or something? Jimbo Jambo 22:30, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Surprisingly not, although it seems crazy that we don't now that you mention it! But yes, if it was moved to Dexivine with a notice about the unofficial name, I'd have no problem with that. Adam [ talk ] 20:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Actually a bit surprised this never went anywhere. The {{split}} tag was removed last August without any reasoning. If there are no actual disagreements then I'll go ahead and make the page with a fan name warning header to go along with it. Jimbo Jambo 19:23, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

It should've been its own article anyway, as they barely even resemble Tailparasans, outside of the "hand-like" head. — ciprianotalk 04:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
