::::Alright, that makes sense. I appreciate you arguing with me in such a nice and polite way, unlike the admins at BULBAPEDIA (yes, I do edit there) Kirby is one of my favourite series of all time, and using my knowledge I will edit this wiki the most I can! I am looking forward to eventually becoming an moderator, or even admin. | ::::Alright, that makes sense.

::::So, it's worth noting that, officially, the two are considered the same "mechanic"; see in the [https://www.kirby.jp/ability/special/helper_friend.html Kirby Portal website], so I'm against a split. However, we do use more recent names in the wiki, so I don't agree with the argument that "Helper" should be used because ''Super Star'' can be considered a more important game that ''Star Allies''; if anything, both are important on their own ways to the series. If that argument stood, we would need to rename pages like [[Mekkai]] to their ''Super Star'' name "Mecheye", or apply a similar logic to pages like [[Jukebox]]. Point is, since HAL apparently considers both names to be valid and the same thing, we should use the most recent name, "Friend". The only argument in favor I can see is that "Helper" was used in two games of the series, although in a way that's cheating since one is a remake. Anyway, I think it makes more sense per our policy to use the most recent name here, the other will still be a redirect anyway. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 02:45, 14 February 2023 (UTC) | ::::So, it's worth noting that, officially, the two are considered the same "mechanic"; see in the [https://www.kirby.jp/ability/special/helper_friend.html Kirby Portal website], so I'm against a split.

:::::Perhaps I'm just being an old fogey (or a Sakuraite :P), but ultimately I would not have a problem with this page being named Friend. I will abide by the Editor-in-Chief's wishes. --[[User:Samwell|Samwell]] ([[User talk:Samwell|talk]]) 02:58, 14 February 2023 (UTC) |
