As I said before, problem with using it in those instances is that it leaves out which came first and what is based upon what. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:55, April 27, 2024 (EDT)

:Perhaps, but subject origin has the inverse problem in that it does not in itself suggest a relationship between species, only that it is what the species is based on. Personally, I'd prioritize species' relations to each other over the fact that one took design inspiration from the other (especially in cases where it's ''really'' obvious like with the Galoomba and Goomba, or [[Thwomp]] and [[Whomp]]).

Alternatively, we could expand the scope of the Comparable field instead, or perhaps even introduce a ''new'' field that's inbetween Related and Comparable, since [[Gamboo]]s, [[Burrbo]]s and [[Beanie]]s and such aren't necessarily ''related'' to Goombas, but they are definitely ''similar'' to them, yet the Comparable field currently is for similar enemies that are ''not'' necessarily based on one another (putting [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Wild Wendell]]s as examples), even though Gamboos, Burrbos and Beanies are definitely ''inspired'' by Goombas in some way. {{User:Arend/sig}} 13:21, April 28, 2024 (EDT)
