Oh, no...

Why would Wayoshi do this to us? I don't understand. [1]Lord Dice Is HERE

And by the way Wayoshi, I think, plans to block me (I gave him a lecture on his talk page) so if I get blocked please unblock me. Thanks, Steve.

Okay. --Steve (talk) 16:03, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

Please demod me on the forum, there's a protection thing on there. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 18:51, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

Users

Why is everyone leaving and is this some kind of joke they're playing on us?F g

I don't know, and they're not joking. --Steve (talk) 20:35, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

Um... did you demote Wayoshi? Max2 (C)

Nope. He stepped down. --Steve (talk) 21:57, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

No, Wayoshi demoted himself. Don't you read teh news?<<< Knife 21:57, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

NameChange

I would like a name change to Lord Dice, please... [2]Lord Dice Is HERE

Okay. --Steve (talk) 19:01, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

Main page

Can you please give your opinion on this.-- Aipom --

Hey hey!

There's a discussion over at the Main Page about how you got the Users online thing on recent changes. I started it and a user told me to ask you why it isn't working and how to fix it. So, well ,yeah. Toadbert101 18:18, 27 June 2007 (EDT) (I should make a sig shouldn't I?)

It's an extension for MediaWiki. It can't be installed unless you have access to the wiki files on the server. --Steve (talk) 19:05, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

Dumbfounded

I think we all are. It's such a... I dunno... disturbance. Don't you think? Max2 (C)

Yep. I would have never seen it coming. --Steve (talk) 22:25, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

Template:title

Can we use Template:Title to change page titles? Plumber 14:45, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

Doesn't look right. --Steve (talk) 17:15, 29 June 2007 (EDT)

Scroll Box

I never asked your opinion of them. Since you are the man, I need to know: Is this template any good?Saudy^Talk!

What template? --Steve (talk) 17:16, 29 June 2007 (EDT)

{{scroll box}} - 17:18, 29 June 2007 (EDT)

Poll

Is it OK if I make a wiki poll for the Anniversary at User:3dejong/Poll? 3D, like Spike used to make?

Poll for what, how will you create it?--Steve (talk) 17:02, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

It's going to be like "Spike/Knife's" old polls. User questions, wiki questions. I'll make a page for it, then have people PM or e-mail me their votes. 3D, 3DMAAAAAIIIL!

Hey, you remembered!<<< Knife 17:10, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

I remember Parayoshi getting the Best User Page and me getting Best Files Uploaded. 8D 3D, har har har.

Not able to acces

Hey Porplemontage, Yesterday i was able to get on the wiki while at my neighbors house. But however at my house I am still unable to acces the wiki, forums, or even your website. Is it possible as Knife staed that you blocked my IP from entering websites on your server? PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

You're not blocked. I don't know why you can't access the site. Let me walk you through some steps. Can you see a messed up version of the forum here? --Steve (talk) 19:01, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

Yes. PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

I've gotten a couple of complaints of either can't-get-on at all or extremely-slow today. Also, the max user connections error is popping up more frequently. I definitely notice a slow-down. If I remember correctly, this happened because the server became too small for us. Has that happened again, or is it just maintenance on the server? Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 14:09, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

*ahem*

Well? What's your verdict on whether or not I can hold a poll? 3D, CSS and trolls and Yoshis, oh my!

SURE. --Steve (talk) 19:01, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

SWEET. I SHALL UPLOAD IT ONCE I GET HOME. 3D, WAYOSHI HAD OUTLAWED THEM FOR A WHILE. WHY AM I IN CAPS?

Upload what? --Steve (talk) 19:35, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

The poll. I have it on my home computer. Currently, I'm at my grandparent's on their Mac. 3D, I am WAY too used to Windows.

Can you change my name to Silver Mario?

Hello, Wayoshi and Jorge want you to got on the chat. Gofer

Wiki's Back!

Is it back for sure this time, Steve? Max2 (C)

Yes. --Steve (talk) 18:17, 14 July 2007 (EDT)

Server

I'm wondering if GG and I could scrape up enough money each month to have the Userpedia hosted on your server. I can't say anything now, but I'll discuss it with him first chance I get.Saudy^Talk!

Alright, sounds good. --Steve (talk) 23:57, 15 July 2007 (EDT)

...

What kind of wiki is this? There's Wikia,Editthis and this wiki. What type is it?Toadbert101 15:54, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

This runs off his server as a mediawiki. It is not a wikia or edithtis. Its a "Stiki."Saudy^Talk!

lolToadbert101 19:16, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Sysophood

Could you make me sysop? And could you rename me "Paper Jorge" again, I'm really starting to miss the name. Also you don't have to. Paper Jorge, the one who gives paper cuts.

Hk-47

Can you please do something about his recent edits and chat antics? Hk has been, well, a bully, to say the least. I saw them on chat cheering that some good user had left, and he tore me apart like paper with inults and flames. I'm not saying block, only for something to be done. Max2's Friend, speaking for Max2.

Funny. You didn't actually describe the incident, or my side of the story. I was reprimanding him for flaming. Get over it. What kind of justice can be served if it is served in favor of a flamer? Saudy^Talk!

Forums

Hi. I heard that you did this for some other users, so, could you help me get on the forums without a password.Toa Waluigi If so, thanks.

Help Needed

Steve, sometimes when I logged in it says that the super mario wiki has technical difficulties and can you do something about it?F g

Hk-47 and Gofer

Can you please do something about them? Gofer has been insulting users icluding me, Xzelion, and Fg, and Hk has been disrupting the peace on the Wiki and chat. Max2 (C)

Hk has not. Anyways, how do you get the external links section below the sidebar? Plumber

You have to edit the Monobook.php file. It can't be done without access to the wiki's files. --Steve (talk) 12:45, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Aww man. Oh well, thanks anyways. Plumber

Shroobario

Shroobario has been causing some problems in chat whenever there are no ops around. Can you come help us?Saudy^Talk!

Teh Big Problem

Yes, it's me, back to annoy you further. I'm sorry I have to do this, but Xzelion has seriously disturbed the peace at MWuserpedia. here is a log of our arguement:

MURZON: Um, why'd you delete Troll possession tragedy? [3]Lord Dice Is HERE

XZELION: Cause its part of my comic and you had nothing to do with it, I was the only possesed in the event. --Xzelion (Talk)

MURZON: The comic was canon, right? Right. So if it was canon, other things than what was shown in your comic could be happening then, right? Okay. So yes, I was not in your comic, and I don't pretend to be. In the actual event, in the storyline, I was there but no one saw me so I wasn't in the comic. Get it? [4]Lord Dice Is HERE

Xzelion:You have nothing to do with it, not even there in the shadows. --Xzelion (Talk)

MURZON: I didn't think you cared. And Xzelion, on an unrelated note, you are walking down the same path that wayoshi did: Nice user then, stricter then, stricter then, stricter then, unfriendly then, very very frustraing. Okay? You overreacted about the pics of Dark Wayoshi, and you're overreacting about this! Why didn't you just delete the part with me in it? Sigh, Xzelion, you get harder to work with every day. [5]Lord Dice Is HERE NOTE TO PORPLE: Yes, I admit that at this point I overreacted a bit. But that's not the worst thing that happened.

XZELION: Shut your face dummy, you don't know anything. you always act like you're important well you're not. You're just some annoying brat, so go bug someone else, don't ever bother me again. ~~Xzelion

MURZON: I AM TRYING TO HELP THIS WIKI! You half-witted freak, this is why so many users are leaving! BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR OH-SO-SPECIAL SYSOP BUDDIES ARE DRIVING THEM OUT! [6]Lord Dice Is HERE

XZELION: And what do you do to help the wiki jackass nothing you're just someone that drives everyone insane. I'm sick of you you're just some idiot with a dumb name. And Hk isn't a Sysop FYI. --Xzelion (Talk)

AIPOM: Whoa! Settle down. Why don't we just meet in the middle to solve all conflicts?-- Aipom --

MURZON: Ohh, I don't know, why don't you just look at his most recent comment on my talk page? THAT might explain it! [7]Lord Dice Is HERE

XZELION: What the hell do you know, you're just as annoying as the crybaby-overreactor Max. --Xzelion (Talk)

MURZON: What do I know? I know this: You've changed with your name. The great gonzo is gone. And in his place is someone who ridicules users instead of helping them, insults those who disagree with him, and is overall a carbon copy of what wayoshi had become before Reform. [8]Lord Dice Is HERE

Okay, that's it. Please do something. [9]Lord Dice Is HERE

Steve currently has no administrative authority over MWUserpedia. If he wanted any, he'd need say the word, but as it stands now, you should direct this complaint to me.Saudy^Talk!

Hk-47

Max2 was right about hk and please block him cause he is irriating me and being disruptive.F g

DKWiki Portal

What use is it if it doesn't have a link from the main page? Plumber

The DKWiki has been phased out. The portal remains for those who liked the DKWiki and want to keep the portal in their bookmarks or something. --Steve (talk) 16:46, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

MarioWiki Map

What is the map use for?F g

ANd why does it say "Are you in miami,fl USA?F g

The map has no real purpose. I don't know why it says what it says. --Steve (talk) 16:46, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, the map is strange. It lists my position twice. It goes into detail, even naming my street. Pity it's not the street I'm living in and not even the town I'm living in. But the location is close enough on the world map. You are the admin of the map? You can remove my second location. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:52, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

Okay. --Steve (talk) 16:59, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

Chat

Earlier in the mornings and at other times throughout the day, people tend to spam citing the lack of ops. I seem to be in the room for most of these spamfests, and they seem to bug several other users. I propose that i be an auto-op. I would de-op myself when there are other ops present who can handle things. Just throwing this idea out there and informing you of the situation.Saudy^Talk!

We'll see how it goes. --Steve (talk) 00:54, 22 July 2007 (EDT)

That is a strange thing to ask, but I guess it might work. As long as you don't stay an Op for all that time. Pokémon DP

Just wondering, can the same be done to me, or not? Pokémon DP

If we need more ops. --Steve (talk) 12:39, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

Could you give me some sprites? Thats all you have to do.;){{User:Toadbert101/sig}} 20:01, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

I can't make sprites, though. --Steve (talk) 20:04, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

I always see them in other peoples comics though,maybe someone else has them?{{User:Toadbert101/sig}} 20:05, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

They're out there somewhere. --Steve (talk) 20:09, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Do you know where?{{User:Toadbert101/sig}} 20:11, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

I believe Aipom made the bowser sprites of me. See what he has to say. --Steve (talk) 20:16, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Okey Dokey.{{User:Toadbert101/sig}} 20:26, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Ads

The row of Google ads is appearing inside the wiki content space, before categories on pages that have them. Shouldn't it be on the side? Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 17:56, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

There are ads on the side as well. I'm trying out ads in both places to see how it affects revenue. --Steve (talk) 19:43, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Can you do it at least below the categories or even better outside of the wiki content box, at the bottom of the page? It's a jutting ugliness. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 21:42, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

 ? Glitch

I'm getting a weird glitch; whenever I use the search bar to search up a name with question marks in it (such as Bowser???), the question marks are omitted and I'm redirected to an article without them, even if such an article doesn't exist (which is the case with pages like Toadstool's ???). Would it be possible for you to fix this? YellowYoshi398

I think this is a glitch in the MediaWiki software, and therefore I can't fix it. --Steve (talk) 19:43, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Forums

Hi, sorry to bother you but earlier I asked you about something but you diddn't respond. I heard you helped some other people get on the forums without e-mail could you do the same for me.--Toa Waluigi 19:35, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Start by registering on the forums, and make up an email address in the email field (make sure it's not in use, i.e., ffd433f@98fhsd35n.net). Then, post the account username here and I'll activate the account for you. --Steve (talk) 19:43, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Thanks. It's just Toa Waluigi. Also, would like to be in my comic?--Toa Waluigi 19:49, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

You're welcome. You can login now. And, as with all comic questions, you can put me in your comic if I don't have to do anything. --Steve (talk) 19:57, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

 ? Glitch solution

we should move pages like Toadstool's ??? to something like Toadstool's XXX and put a "technical difficulties" thing on the page. Max2 (C) Comments?

We're not going to do that. --Steve (talk) 20:05, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

OK. It was just a suggestion. Max2 (C)

I understand. :) --Steve (talk) 20:11, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

The New Advertisements

I understand that they are required to stay since the server costs more money, however can you place it under the category area? Since it's placed between the content and the categories, it looks a bit confusing.<<< Knife 22:50, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Exactly what I was trying to ask earlier today. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 00:01, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

I understand the dislike for the new ads and their location. However, they really need to be above the category box for the illusion that the ads are at the bottom of the article, and not just below the article at the bottom of the page. I've tested them below the category box and it really makes the page look weird. On the bright side, it looks like that rectangle at the bottom of the page is going to help to generate enough revenue that we won't have to pray on people donating in order for the site to stay up, and all that is getting pushed a little farther down is the category box. I appreciate it that the wiki members aren't letting these new ads distract from enjoying and editing the wiki. --Steve (talk) 18:05, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

Crats

Are we going to get another Crat? PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

KPH should be your first choice, Steve. He is most up for the job.Saudy^Talk!

I'd like to have a new one. I'll look into it. --Steve (talk) 18:05, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

And, hey, I almost fainted when I saw you had a :gasp: mainspace edit! J/k. Saudy^Talk!

Ads

Um... hello? There are a bunch of really disturbing ads, and they're messing up my computor (I have these parental pop-ups) is there anyway you could try to remove those ads? I know it's probably going to be a no, but... yeah. Max2 (C)

How do the ads trigger parental pop-ups? --Steve (talk) 13:41, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

His parents have some weird stuff. He suicided on chat once by cussing at me. Then he got server killed anyway.Saudy^Talk!

Special:Checkuser

When I recently used special:checkuser, i typed in a name and the page looked messed up, and I got a message saying Entry not added. Do you know why?PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

See how it goes now. --Steve (talk) 14:08, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

Alright its fixed. Thanks. PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

New Skin Proposal

Do you think MarioWiki:Proposals#Monobook Reskin should be automatically scrapped? Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 15:46, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

Yes. The default template will not be changed. Fans of black should make the necessary CSS changes to their monobook.css. If it looks nice, that can be made a template for others to easily access. --Steve (talk) 16:04, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

While I respect what you've said, I want to point out one little thing. This was never about LOOKING NICE. It was about conservation. Just pointing that out to you wiki no tenno henkai.Saudy^Talk!

Can you say that again in English? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:10, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

It means "His Majesty, the Wiki's Emperor" in the perfect language.Saudy^Talk!

I know the proposal wanted to change the template to conserve energy. If you want a template that looks like shit but conserveres energy, go ahead and edit your monobook, but I'm not going to make an official wiki template unless it looks nice. --Steve (talk) 16:15, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

Donations Not Needed

Does this mean you've found a good source of revenue?<<< Knife 22:56, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

Harvest Moon

I was curious as to if someone had created a Harvest Moon wiki yet and happened across this: [10] The creators name is down as Steve and was curious as to if this was one of your other, possibly forgotten, projects. I've done some minor editing already and would be interested in getting things running. -- Chris 08:30, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

I don't think Steve would do a Wikia, though I may be entirely wrong. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 12:16, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

Hey, I hope its our Steve's! I love Harvest Moon..... If it isn't Steve's.... and for some reason Ghost Jam (unlikely) changes his mind, I'd love to help get it up and running.Saudy^Talk!

Nope, not mine. --Steve (talk) 12:38, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

Hmm. Alright then. I'll see about adopting the wiki. Help is welcome from anybody who's interested. -- Chris 16:58, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, I remember that whole thing. I didn't make the animation, though. --Steve (talk) 19:22, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

Sprites

Do you know where I could find them?{{User:Toadbert101/sig}} 14:02, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

What kind? --Steve (talk) 14:04, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

well,toa Waluigi said you had only two sprites for the comic. Do you know where though?{{User:Toadbert101/sig}} 23:54, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

Nope. I know nothing about where sprites are. --Steve (talk) 08:09, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

Licenses

Can we update our picture licenses to include the not-free poster license. There's going to be a slew of new Mario-related movies, possibly even a trilogy of Super Mario Bros. movies, and a narrative Donkey Kong movie. I don't know where exactly you might find this license, but it would be useful in the future.Saudy^Talk!

If you figure out the license you're free to make the template and I'll get the category and drop-down menu setup. --Steve (talk) 20:17, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

Question: Wouldn't posters as such go under {{promophoto}}, since it's promoting the movie? Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 20:20, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

Yes! --Steve (talk) 20:22, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

So that means an extraneous license isn't necessary? Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 20:26, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

It isn't actually that simple. A movie poster is still copyrighted, so it falls under not-free poster, we can use it as long as we have justification, which I can just copy from wikipedia, as they justified their use.Saudy^Talk!

Well, I added a template. Just add it to the list, and we're all done with this!Saudy^Talk!

Main Page Banners

Is it alright if we change them to these (Credit to WarioLoaf) PRETxZELion ^{E T C}:

Those are cool!{{User:Toadbert101/sig}} 21:20, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

Looks good to me. --Steve (talk) 21:31, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

Can you revert these back for now? There's disagreement among the community due to the fact that different type of artwork was used; I'll work on a simpler, same-artwork set later this week. Wa _T^C_@ | Mi Youtube 18:34, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

They're fine staying up. If I believe a new set of banners look even better, I'll make the change, but there's no good reason in my opinion to take the current ones down. --Steve (talk) 19:25, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Erk... I see no problem with them, either, but that hasn't stopped me from starting to design my own set using similar artwork on each.Saudy^Talk!

Personal Message

do you know if you could make something like a personal message?

Not on the wiki itself. Private PM's should be handled through the forum or wiki email function. --Steve (talk) 23:24, 29 July 2007 (EDT)
