King Slime
I reverted your edits to King Slime because minibosses aren't really a supported category or grouping on this wiki anymore. There are a few stragglers, but for the most part, enemies such as Paladins and Ice Golems have been reclassified as uncommon normal enemies. King Slime meets all the necessary requirements to be qualified as a boss: it's a large, unique enemy that spawns either through special circumstances or through use of a summoning item, it's announced through text at the bottom of the screen, and boss music plays during it. If dropping a tool or material key to progression is the only remaining category, then I'll go ahead and reclass Duke Fishron as a miniboss as well. Otherwise, it's a subjective claim, in which case precedent should probably stand, and the current precedent is that minibosses are an unnecessary half-step that clouds the area between strong enemies and optional or early game bosses.

Bosses are known quantities in the context of Terraria. Allowances are explicitly made for their recognition- these unique strong enemies referred to as bosses in patch notes, and the music that plays on their appearance is titled "Boss (number)". Minibosses, on the other hand, are debated by the playerbase to the extent of being useless, and it's difficult to actually support the claim that any given boss is worth less or more than any other. I'm not going to war over it or anything though. Gearzein (talk) 16:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
