The most common scription for takoyaki in Japanese is たこ焼き.
This is just a quick comparison of the different versions and the googled results at the time of this writing:
たこ焼き 3,730,000
たこ焼 807,000
蛸焼き 507
蛸焼 753
章魚焼き 1,030 - Most frequent pages found were direct copies of the previous edits of this article.
章魚焼 129
鮹焼き 21
鮹焼 28
I conclude that the overwhelming representation of takoyaki in Japanese is たこ焼き and have therefore made it the first to appear. While たこ焼 is also relatively common, less than one fourth of all responses, the missing okurigana き is the only difference and it seems pointless to include this scription in the article. The other previously listed option 章魚焼き was much less than 1% and therefore I see it highly unnecessary to include this in the article.

I think the reason the bot is linking to poffertjespan isn't because it thinks they're the same thing, but because the poffertjespan article on the Dutch wikipedia also contains a section about takoyaki. Perhaps they shouldn't be in the same article, but that's a problem with another wiki, and as long as they are in the same article then I think the link should stay.

literally
"literally fried or grilled octopus" removed because 1) the dish is not fried 2) the ocotpus never touches the grill so how can it be grilled and 3) these "literally" comments do nothing to help the understanding of what the subject is. It's a nuance of the Japanese language that is better explained in the body of the article as it is this article already.
