June 2015 Pipe Plaza

 * Apologies for lateness in the warning. Please send section in by that date otherwise there may be issues featuring it.

Re:Forum block
Hello, some of the posts that were counted as spam were included in the warning I sent you, but here's some of the posts: 1 2 3 4. As stated in the warning, it might be the work of your brother, but your account is still your account. Please be more wary next time. --

Wii U Cool Thing
I noticed you uploaded a screenshot of a YouTube video (File:SM3DWColorPanels.png) for Super Mario 3D World. Did you know you can play any Wii U game live and submit a screenshot using the Wii U's built-in web browser functionality and the image will be 1280x720 right here to MarioWiki? This is different than Miiverse's 800x450 images. Here's some more info: User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox -- 18:46, 29 April 2016 (EDT)
 * I was hoping to turn it into official policy instead of just a help page. From others' feedback, the first draft was a tad too strict and it would end up not being very acceptable as a policy. Right now, it is somewhat more lenient but it still needs more work and other details need to be worked out. The guide started with a talk on 's talk page. With other admins, he said that it would be a good idea to implement officially. One other snag is that a few users have had issues with my and others' usage. It got me to think that the template by itself is insufficient for the size of this wiki and it needed expansion. I proposed new template ideas but that failed miserably due to confusion so I canceled the proposal. The proposal was so underdeveloped that I requested discussion how to make things clearer so the proposal has a higher rate of passing. You can see the details here. The first thing I want to pass are the template ideas because they are essential to improving the guide. -- 19:55, 4 May 2016 (EDT)
 * It seems like my expertise was game screenshots only. That's what made my proposal so underdeveloped. I didn't consider other types of image submissions. It baffled me that people thought it was OK to submit sub-par screenshots and not tag them if they couldn't do any better. Also, people had access to so many better ways to take screenshots than to take a screenshot of a YouTube video that I don't think they realized it. Since November of 2015, I have been redoing a load of bad screenshots for various games. It got the attention of, , and . They praised me for my efforts (still on my talk page). I kind of wanted to share my knowledge after that if those users think I am doing quality work. has been the most helpful in Target Audience. He brought up a good point about taking shortcuts instead of replaying a game to obtain a particular screenshot later in the game. I have yet to include that in my guide. -- 22:05, 4 May 2016 (EDT)

RE:Hey
Yeah, I do. I haven't been here much as you can see. How are you doing? 18:14, 30 April 2016 (EDT)
 * I see, stuff has changed but I'm doing good. And I'm not really on the chat anymore so I'm not sure if it's active anymore. 20:21, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

Aboutfile reminder
I'll try my best to do so soon, however, I'm current still uploading pictures to improve an article and so once I'm finished, I'll add the templates to all the photos I've uploaded. And higher quality photos if possible as well. --Jjrapper100 (talk) 20:40, 3 May 2016 (EDT)


 * Even though I was going to add the licensing today this afternoon myself, I would just like to thank you for adding it for me on all my recently uploaded pictures! I apologize for wasting your time, but it sure does mean a lot that you happened to help me on that particular problem. --Jjrapper100 (talk) 18:52, 4 May 2016 (EDT)


 * Oh, I do recall and I'll make sure to do so in the future. --Jjrapper100 (talk) 19:06, 4 May 2016 (EDT)

RE: Bot work
Ignore the Perl comments because that doesn't work (or at least I couldn't get it to work). Read the comments related to the Python Wiki Bot (Pywikibot). Follow the step-by-step instructions from the link gave how to set that up. Use Python 2.7.11 because 3.5.1 gave me a few issues. -- 14:59, 21 May 2016 (EDT)

Re: Template
Did you say to actually remove it or to just remove the lastwarn symbols. 18:53, 8 June 2016 (EDT)

re:Forum
The usual process is contacting one of the mods through their wiki talk page. --Glowsquid (talk) 21:00, 17 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes. --Glowsquid (talk) 21:21, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

Deleting Anonymous talk pages
Hey I am not sure if it is allowed to delete anonymous talk pages, what if another innocent user with that ip wants to join and makes a mistake. So yeah we should just leave it as it is. 18:58, 21 June 2016 (EDT)
 * What I meant was what if another user (not the same guy) wants to edit from there. But yes I will stop edit warring because it's a bad path to go down. 19:04, 21 June 2016 (EDT)

RE:Forums
Okay. I guess you could still email me or something if you still want to contact me. 19:16, 21 June 2016 (EDT)
 * I do check it every day, so yeah. 19:37, 21 June 2016 (EDT)

RE: Email
Sorry for replying so late, but I never received an email. -- Smasher 22:06, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I already checked, so go ahead and try again, I suppose. --[[Image:Ssbemblem.png|35px]] Smasher [[Image:MasterhandSSB64.jpg|35px]] 11:44, 3 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Yeah, sorry, it's not working on my end. Could you try sending it to Superchao? --[[Image:Ssbemblem.png|35px]] Smasher [[Image:MasterhandSSB64.jpg|35px]] 19:45, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Misunderstanding, try messaging him one more time. --[[Image:Ssbemblem.png|35px]] Smasher [[Image:MasterhandSSB64.jpg|35px]] 21:08, 5 July 2016 (EDT)

RE: Vandal
Thank you for informing me, the user will be block, if does it again.

Your Signature is Broken
Testing to show you how your signature is broken: asdf asdf You have replied to my talk page before. Your signature breaks my talk page. Try this code for User:Driftmaster130/sig:

-- 22:52, 7 July 2016 (EDT)
 * For the time being, fixed it. -- 23:03, 7 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Feel free to move the tag to wherever you want, just remember to always close your tags :) -- 23:15, 7 July 2016 (EDT)
 * The green box width is a combination of personal preference, the automatic nature of web page table rendering if a setting doesn't strictly define it, and reserving space related to past talks. It bothered me that there was a lot of white space going unused caused by the Table of Contents that MediaWiki causes. I know I can hide it, but I find it useful. So what you see is just a result of compromising. -- 20:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Re: Vadalism policy
Hey there. There was collective agreement among the admins about the redundancy of Mw:Trolls after the proposal you presented. But no active action was taken until less than a month ago.

Re: Admin noticeboard
That was considered. For the time being, we shall leave the code on the page. It's not as long as the one seen on MarioWiki:Proposals. Also, the instructions on the noticeboard says to edit the header. If users do this, they they won't see the coding at the top at all. And anyway, the page would be very closely watched. If someone edited the code, we'd definitely notice. If there is a major problem down the track, then we may consider making it a subpage. But for now in the Noticeboard's early stages, we'll keep it as-is. Get my drift? Lol

RE: lowercase name
Haha, you're welcome! I try to make sure I spell everyone's name correctly, though I mess up sometimes (I keep spelling Toco Bell as Taco Bell :P). It helps that your name was right there to look at :) 21:59, 13 August 2016 (EDT)
