Post-SPM games[edit]
Since the term "Tattle" isn't used at all in Sticker Star, Color Splash, or The Origami King, should it still count? They're just called "hints" or "advice." Scrooge200 (talk) 23:17, November 11, 2020 (EST)
- It's not called "Tattle" in Super Paper Mario, its usage is technically exclusive to the Goomba partners. I'd be okay with splitting the information for whatever is used by Tippi/Kersti/Huey/Olivia, maybe including a "see also" section if it'll be multiple articles. Thing is, is "hint"/"advice" too generic? "Tattle" is unique enough that just about everyone knows what you're referring to, whereas words like that can pretty much refer to anything.

- Considering it always has at least one of the functions of ordinary Tattling (enemies and objects or field tattles) I don't think it's too much of a stretch to cover them all here. Splitting would just make things confusing especially since they don't seem to have a unique name applied to them in later games. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:41, November 16, 2020 (EST)
- I'm not saying to split it, I'm just saying that we should stop using "Tattle" to refer to non-64 and TTYD games. We can note that the ability is similar, but it's not the same. The post-SPM enemy analyses can't be done in battle either. Scrooge200 (talk)
- I was specifically responding to LinkTheLefty's suggestion of splitting them into at least two pages. I agree that if it's never specifically called Tattle in a specific game, we shouldn't be calling it that. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 15:15, November 16, 2020 (EST)
- I misunderstood. That way works too, would be much easier. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:53, November 17, 2020 (EST)
