:Since there isn't much information on this specific type of watercraft (unless more is stated in the guide?) I think it'd be best to simply add it to this article for now, with a possible redirect here. --[[File:Carrot signature.png|75px|link=User:Raycarrot]] 07:53, 30 October 2019 (CET)

::This article was originally about the mechanical fish, but due to its ambiguous wording, information about wooden boats and even paper boats was added to it. I think it is indeed a good idea to rename it, and then why not re-create a more general "Hoodlum watercraft" article that mentions all those types of boats. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 13:41, 1 November 2019 (CET)

:::In the meanwhile I created a section for each type of watercraft, changed the first line and added a link to create a new page for the Mechanical Fish. Another option could be to add the information of this page to the [[Hoodlum]] article (Hoodlum devices section) and leave a short description for each item of the list (as well as a links to the main articles), so it has the same format that can be found in the [[Robo-Pirate]] page. --[[User:Elite piranha|Elite piranha]] ([[User talk:Elite piranha|talk]]) 06:16, 2 November 2019 (CET)

::::I've narrowed down this article to the Mechanical Fish only, moved it to a more fitting title, and I've recreated the [[Hoodlum watercraft]] page with your changes, adding Céloche to it. Let me know what you think. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 19:45, 3 November 2019 (CET)

:::::Céloche is more like an amphibious vehicle/device (since it can also move on land), however watercraft can also include vehicles like seaplanes or even underwater robots (at least according to Wikipedia), so I see no problems there. The only thing that worries me is that it might be kind of redundant to have a list of devices (in the [[Hoodlum]] page) that includes Céloche and also Hoodlum watercraft (that includes Céloche), however since it is a boss in the game, it would be kind of weird to not mention it in the page. --[[User:Elite piranha|Elite piranha]] ([[User talk:Elite piranha|talk]]) 01:14, 4 November 2019 (CET)

::::::Fair enough. To a certain extent, the need to mention a couple wooden boats and a even a paper boat is rather questionable. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 20:19, 5 November 2019 (CET)
