Monthly Report

Written by: Paper Yoshi (talk)
Hello, readers, and welcome to the October Issue of Monthly Report! Unfortunately, as Yoshi876 told you in the previous issue, I was unable to write my section last month, but now that everything has been sorted out, I'm back to bring you all the wiki stats from October, along a comparison between the August and October stats.

(Credit goes to Stooben Rooben (talk), Super Mario Bros. (talk), and Viper26 (talk) for the table coding (I based this on Stooben's coding, which was later modified by SMB, myself, and Viper26 when each one of us wrote this section)

Tip of the Month

Written by: FunkyK38 (talk)

Spacing on the wiki is different than spacing would be on a regular word processor like MS Word. Today I'll go over a few spacing effects that you should be aware of while you're editing articles. (DISCLAIMER: This is written for most PCs. From what I know of Apple they shouldn't vary too much, but just double-check if you're on an Apple computer before writing a novel.)

  • See this nice bullet list? You can create one by using an asterisk (SHIFT + 8 on most keyboards). You shouldn't usually need to make a list in a regular article, as that's what section headers are for, but here it is for reference.
  • Unlike most English teachers I've ever known have said, you don't need to start a paragraph off with an indent when you're writing here. The TAB button is not really helpful here. I usually just stay away from it entirely.
  • Don't start a sentence/paragraph/text block off with a space from the SPACEBAR. Just don't. You'll get
 this ugly blue box

around all of the text contained in that block, which looks awful and will cause pages to display incorrectly when loaded.

  • If you're trying to separate paragraphs, most often you'll need an extra line space (press ENTER on most keyboards). When you're trying to space paragraphs, press ENTER twice after the last sentence of the first paragraph to get the correct spacing for the start of the second. Using the preview button is a good way to get a feel of how the spaces look and if you need more or less.

RECENTLY PASSED PROPOSALS
PROPOSER SUMMARY OUTCOME DEADLINE
Wildgoosespeeder (talk) Move TOC to various Infobox templates.

A proposal to move TOC into various Infobox templates. The proposer argues that the default spot where the TOC shows up is before the first header to the left and this gets in the way if images are put in a similar spot and creates white space.

Wildgoosespeeder (talk) Implement Reminder template about categorizing images by game.

A proposal to implement a Reminder template about categorizing images by game. The proposer argues that categorizing images helps us keep track of uploads better and allows us to save time identifying duplicates. The proposer also argues that some people forget to add an additional category when uploading images, such as those from Category:Images by game.

Time Turner (talk) Allow certain implied sections to be split from the "List of implied ..." articles.

A proposal to allow some sections from the "List of implied..." articles to be split and get an article. The proposer argues that there are plenty of subjects that would benefit greatly from having full-fledged articles and that some implied subjects have had much more of an impact than others, so they deserve an article.

9-1 (read more) September 19, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
NSY (talk) Split all remaining courts/boards based on recurring places from their parent articles.

A proposal to split courts/boards based on recurring places from their parent articles. The proposer argues that articles based on new places from sports games and Fortune Street get their own article, but those based on recurring locations are merged with the article about those recurring locations. Whereas, recurring locations that appear in popular games such as Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. get their own articles, creating an inconsistency.

Yoshi the Space Station Manager (talk) Pixl Queen, Waffle Kingdom, and Croacuses (rulers).

A proposal to split Pixl Queen, King Croacus I, Queen Croacus II, King Croacus III and Waffle Kingdom from the list of implied characters and list of implied places respectively. The proposer argues that Pixl Queen had a major part of the story before Super Paper Mario happened, that Croacuses are former rulers of Floro Sapiens, a location that appears in Super Paper Mario and that in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, characters from the Waffle Kingdom appear in the game.

RECENT TALK PAGE PROPOSALS
PROPOSER SUMMARY OUTCOME DEADLINE
Niiue (talk) Stop calling Sky-Blue Spinies relatives of Buzzy Beetles.

A proposal to stop calling Sky-Blue Spinies, relatives of Buzzy Beetles. The proposer argues that the only evidence of Sky-Blue Spinies being a relative of Buzzy Beetles is because of the German name.

10-1 (read more) September 10, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
Niiue (talk) Merge Mini Bob-omb with Bob-omb.

A proposal to merge Mini Bob-omb, an enemy from Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, with Bob-omb. The proposer argues that Mini Bob-omb looks and acts exactly like a regular Bob-omb and that the only real evidence they're different is that they're smaller.

8-0 (read more) September 10, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
Qyzxf (talk) Stop referring to the Koopalings with their full names.

A proposal to stop referring to the Koopalings with their full names (Ludwig von Koopa to Ludwig). The proposer argues that only a few games ever actually use these names and explains how the article of Princess Peach is called Princess Peach instead of Princess Peach Toadstool, because the surname is not used anymore.

3-15 (read more) September 10, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
Wildgoosespeeder (talk) Merge List of Sammer Guys with Duel of 100.

A proposal to merge the list of Sammer Guys with Duel of 100. The proposer argues that the list is actually the Duel of 100 and having two separate articles may be in violation of MarioWiki:Once and only once.

1-5 (read more) September 11, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
Tails777 (talk) Either rename Duke, Lulu and Rockman to The Dino Riders or split the three characters into separate articles.

A proposal to decide if the article Duke, Lulu and Rockman should be renamed to The Dino Riders or if each character should have an article. The proposer argues that the article name could be better. The proposer also argues that renaming the article is better, because not enough is known about them individually and the fact that they are always together means they aren't worth having separate articles.

8-1-0 (read more) September 18, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
LudwigVon (talk) Move Fred (boss) to Furious Fred de Fillet.

A proposal to rename the article "Fred (boss)" to Furious Fred de Fillet. The proposer argues that we should not take into consideration how Kamek names the bosses, (which was the reason why it was moved to Fred (boss) ), because sometimes, instead of name them by their full names, he nicknamed some bosses.

11-0 (read more) September 24, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
Lord Bowser (talk) Merge Shy Guy (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!) with Shy Guy (toy).

A proposal to merge Shy Guy (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!) with Shy Guy (toy). The proposer argues that besides the spear that those Shy Guys carry in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, there isn't any real difference between these Shy Guys and the rest of the Shy Guy toys in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.

6-0 (read more) October 3, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
A51_Trooper (talk) Split Banana Coin from Banana Bunch Coin.

A proposal to oppose the split of Banana Coin and Banana Bunch Coin. The proposer argues that the only difference between a Banana Bunch Coin and a Banana Coin is that the former has a picture of a banana bunch on it, the other has a single banana. The proposer also argues that both coins shares the same purpose, so they should not be split.

ONGOING PROPOSALS
PROPOSER SUMMARY LINK DEADLINE
Time Turner (talk) Create or delete categories about an area's citizens.

A proposal to decide if we should create categories others than Category:Rogueport Denizens and Category:Glitzville Denizens for others areas of RPG games or if we should delete the two existing categories. The proposer argues that it seems rather inconsistent for these two areas, densely populated as they are, to be the only ones to group an area's characters together.

PROPOSER SUMMARY LINK DEADLINE
RickTommy (talk) Add lists of implied species from franchises other than Pokémon.

A proposal to decide if we should remove the "List of implied Pokémon" section or if we should add relevant sections for every other franchise. The proposer argues that we have a section for Pokémon that are mentioned in passing in SSB trophy descriptions, but not such sections for any other Super Smash Bros. franchise.

Wildgoosespeeder (talk) Coin Ring - Split Super Mario 64 (and DS) with Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World.

A proposal to either move Super Mario 64 content into Water Ring or keep Coin Ring for Super Mario 64 but move Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World content to a different page. The proposer argues that the Super Mario 64 content should be moved to Water Ring because it comes from a Manta and the jet stream underwater. The proposer also argues that the coin rings in Super Mario 64 operate very differently than the coin rings in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World, where in those two games, the Coin Ring gives the player five coinss.

Yoshi the Space Station Manager (talk) Split Croacus rulers from List of implied characters.

A proposal to split the Croacus rulers from list of implied characters. The proposer argues that the Croacuses are the former rulers of Floro Sapiens. Despite that the players only meets the fourth one, the other three are mentioned on portraits of them with their reign in Super Paper Mario.

Time Turner (talk) Retool Category:Children.

A proposal to retool the category for young characters. The proposer argues that this category is being used for two groups of people: anyone whose parents have been seen or mentioned and anyone who looks particularly young, but this category also lists people who never had parents or characters that are too old to be called children.
