A Series of Polls on the Forums

Hey steve,

can i do a series of polls on the forums?

Master Crash

How many and what about? --Steve (talk) 17:10, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

well, say every once in awhile, I put up a poll on the forums, say a poll: who do you prefer more, Mario or Luigi? or whos the better bad guy Wario or Bowser?

Master Crash

That's fine. --Steve (talk) 17:21, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

sweet! what section do i put it in?

Master Crash

The Marioverse or the Mario subforum. --Steve (talk) 20:59, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

Improvement Drive

The Improvement Drive proposal passed. One part of the proposal called for an addition to the main page - a small section stating the current featured collaboration. All the box would have to say the current collabration is the name of the article. No other content is needed - just the name of the article. -- Son of Suns

I put a little box there for it in the main page history. We'll put it back when the first article is ready. --Steve (talk) 15:06, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

New Games Headline

Hey there. I just inquired about the following suggestion to Xzelion, and he said that I should see you about it:

Do you think that maybe, for the main page, we could create a section for new and upcoming games? With the News Template, there just isn't enough room to list titles AND news, especially now with all that daily SSBB info. It could list maybe the the most recent release, the next upcoming game, and the latest Virtual Console game. Maybe title the header "New & Upcoming Games". -- Booster

I don't think Mario games are released often enough to justify a section. --Steve (talk) 22:10, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

Sig

Hey Steve!~Lil ' Boo Ciao! Like my new sig?

Yah. --Steve (talk) 18:38, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

New Extension

Could you download the countdown extension? I think it might come in handy for The 'Shroom deadlines. Plumber 18:42, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

We've tried this one and it doesn't work. --Steve (talk) 19:38, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

Oh. Plumber 19:48, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

Just to let ya know, My sibling has joined teh wiki :) ~Lil ' Boo Ciao! He says it rox here!

Shroom

Can you put it on the sitenotice that The 'Shroom has been released? Plumber 14:27, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

In the featured articles pages should there be fanvotes like "I like ____" Mr. Guy the Guy Talk!^E

Hi Steve! LilB is my older brother if your wondering... ~TheYoungBooKid ! MWiki Rox.

PlugIn Problem?

The UserScore has a problem in its coding. When you click the links of the users' contributions, you are redirected to:

http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=User:Username

In fact, it should link here:

http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Username

Without the "User:" in front of the username. Is there a way to fix this? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:00, 12 October 2007 (EDT)

Thank you sir, it is fixed. --Steve (talk) 14:57, 12 October 2007 (EDT)

YO!

Would you mind if I used you in my new comic strip? I'm trying to recruit everyone I know. 3D, this is a form letter. OR IS IT?

Yoshi

Um Steve could you make a Yoshi sub-forum for the forum cos some people have voted that yoshi needs a sub-forum and you don't need to add every big-8 character like I said on that topic. Super Yoshi10Lookey This

They're not character forums, they're series forums. I don't think Yoshi has enough independent games to constitute a forum. --Steve (talk) 15:24, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Ok Super Yoshi10Lookey This

Hey dude.~Lil ' Boo YOU PWN

You're too kind. --Steve (talk) 00:15, 21 October 2007 (EDT)

Vandals on the loose

Steve, it seems that User: Jordanandtanner has been vandalizing the wiki. can you stop that, please? ¢oincoll€ctor ?

Too late. --Steve (talk) 15:30, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

Why?

Why did you get rid of the "list of registered wiki users"? That thing was useful. Peachycakes 3.14

To upset you. [1] --Steve (talk) 15:30, 22 October 2007 (EDT)

Chat

Hey Steve,

Whats with the chat? seems emptier.

Master Crash

I do not know the cause. --Steve (talk) 17:06, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Pivot

Hey steve when i tried uploading a file called a piv. it stopped me from uploading it. Could you allow these files?Yosh Raptor BTW piv.files are for pivot stickfigure animator were you can make a stick figure animation.

I don't think a wiki would allow those.(Toadbert101||Give a yell|Sez:Lol,internet.) 02:13, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

How will allowing .piv files to be uploaded benefit the Super Mario Wiki and our goal of creating the ultimate Mario knowledge-base? --Steve (talk) 02:16, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

I just want them on my userpage like with youtube.Yosh Raptor

Wasn't there a proposal for this? Weren't more users voting to not allow it? PRETxZELion ^{E T C}

All I know is that we're not a file hosting site and that it's not needed here. --Steve (talk) 15:10, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Hey Steve! Was you aware that plumber made you new sprites cause I found em on Userpedia. ~TheYoungBooKid !

AgentSeeThroo

When was the last time you saw agentseethroo?F g

I don't know. Why? --Steve (talk) 17:25, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Because I heard that he was the first user to join the wiki besides you the founder and wanted to know if he's still active.F g

No, he was never really active here. He was just the first person I told about the wiki since at the time it was part of his wiki network. --Steve (talk) 17:32, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Lil'Boo

GAH! No one can access my page and neither can I! What should I do? ~Lil ' Boo Ciao!

Okay. --Steve (talk) 17:36, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Did you fix my page? If so then thanks! ~Lil ' Boo ALL HAIL TEH LORD(steve)

You're welcome. --Steve (talk) 22:59, 12 November 2007 (EST)

Mariowiki

Is there any way of solving the problem when the wiki's down? perhaps? F g

Yes. We'll get there. --Steve (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Slideshows

Hello Steve I was just wondering if you can allow slideshows here like form imageshack or something King Mario

and how exactly would he do that?

Master Crash

Yeah, you would have to present me a MediaWiki extension to look at. --Steve (talk) 22:59, 12 November 2007 (EST)

Logging in

Hey Steve. Sorry to bother you, but my computer logged me out on it's own (It does that for some reason sometimes.) and I moved my cursor over "CReate an account/log in". After a few seconds, that little yellow box popped up and said "You are encouraged to log in, although it is not manditory.". Is there any way you can change this? It might be a little mis leading for new users who come. (Toadbert101||Scream|My comic]|Sez:NO WAI, A SIG WITH OUT {{PAGENAME}}! :O)

BTW, somethings wrong with my sig. Whenever I try to type a little messaeg in it, it usually doesn't work. Do you know what's wrong?(Toadbert101||Scream|My comic]|Sez:Testing...)

I've changed the message. It looks like your sig doesn't include the message if you include an equals sign (=) in there. --Steve (talk) 21:39, 13 November 2007 (EST)

Hm, odd. know this didn't really matter, but... =3 (Toadbert101||Give a yell|Sez:Lol,internet.) 23:25, 14 November 2007 (EST)

Viper

porple can you meat me in chat

SM 97

can you change my name to Viper

SM 97

Umm, okay. --Steve (talk) 23:01, 13 November 2007 (EST)

Birthdays

It was my birthday on November 15th :P ~Lil ' Boo Ciao!

Mine's on the 23rd. --Steve (talk) 14:49, 16 November 2007 (EST)

Wow

Hi Porple can you change my name back to Super mario97?

cause no one knows who i am :(

SM 97

Alright, but don't expect another name change anytime soon. --Steve (talk) 13:32, 17 November 2007 (EST)

Name Changing

Do you get tired of people when they ask you to change their username?F g

Maybe. --Steve (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2007 (EST)

Just as a random question, how many times are you allowed to change you name?(Toadbert101||Give a yell|Sez:Lol,internet.) 16:51, 18 November 2007 (EST)

There is no set rule, but it's not something to make a habit out of. Any more than a few changes within a year would be too considered a bit much. --Steve (talk) 18:40, 18 November 2007 (EST)

Name Change

Please change my name to HyperToad. I don't like Gowser anymore. I was trying to make a joke about how Mario has Wario and Yoshi has Boshi and... Yeah, you probably don't care where I got my name from. Please change it to HyperToad though. --Gowser 15:16, 19 November 2007 (EST)

ok... --Steve (talk) 15:23, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Wiki creating

How did you create an edit wiki like this one? I want to learn how to create my own internet wiki called Nintendo Wars Wiki. A website that talks only about the Nintendo Wars games.(Super F22 Pilot 00:31, 20 November 2007 (EST))

The cool way is to find yourself a web host and install MediaWiki on the site. That's the software which most wiki websites use these days. However, that's not easy for someone without website-building experience. I would suggest requesting a Wikia wiki or creating it on a site such as EditThis or ScribbleWiki. --Steve (talk) 02:21, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Sorry. I am a former Wikian or something. I just not get along with users and they got me blocked out from all Wikias and now Angela requested me to be blocked longer from the Wikipedia. I tried Wikia but it failed so I must find different ways to create a Wiki so I can run the new Website for the public.(Super F22 Pilot 03:41, 22 November 2007 (EST))

Minor request

Should we be able to send Private Messages to users that no one else can see? It'd be cool.Fly Guy 2

Email user function or take care of it on the forums. --Steve (talk) 20:37, 24 November 2007 (EST)

I don't mean to nag but...

How come once & awhile we get a database error? I do an edit and wait 5-10 minutes before I can save it! Crypt Raider^{E T C El}

Cause our server can't handle how big the wiki is. I think Im right... :D (Toadbert101|Hohoho!|Give a yell|Sez:Merry Christmas!) 13:39, 2 December 2007 (EST)

I noticed a different problem as well. When looking at my contributions, I notice that my earliest edits date back to January 2002, where the Wiki wasn't even created yet. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 07:22, 8 December 2007 (EST)

Requests

Could you change the sitenotice to say that The 'Shroom Issue X is out, and unprotect Template:Featured? The sysops haven't changed it for two weeks. Plus, it sometimes has errors on it, like not italicizing game names and such that no one can correct. Plumber 09:04, 8 December 2007 (EST)

Okay, this is Lemonface. I asked for Wayoshi's opinion and he told me to go to you. I forgot my password, but it can't be e-mailed to me because when I signed up to the wiki, I didn't give my e-mail address. Yesterday, December 13 2007, I signed up for the "Tips and Cheats" section of The 'Shroom. Today, my computer logged me off and I can't get in! My user page is REALLY long and I don't want to lose all of it. Is there a way you can give me my password? My e-mail is..... geodespat1@yahoo.com. If you can't recover my password, could you transfer my user page over to Lemonface2? Please, please help me!! --Lemonface

I tried fillng out one of the forms and it didn't work D=!Yosh Raptor

Could you finish up the rename because I'm not a beuracrat nor is anyone else besides XzellionYosh Raptor

Of course it doesn't "work" for itself. This is a list, which the bureaucrats look at every day and they then change the username. Read the description on the page carefully and be patient. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:24, 16 December 2007 (EST)

I know that but know its payed off because now I'm officially Storm Yoshi....You'll have to change on the forums and Userpedia aswellYosh Raptor|No pressure

Broken file.

Not easily. --Steve (talk) 15:00, 17 December 2007 (EST)
