The 'Shroom:Issue 119/Pipe Plaza
Director’s Notes
Isn't Pipe Plaza lovely? Isn't Pipe Plaza beautiful? Isn't Pipe Plaza precious? Sorry there... got a bit carried away what with it being Valentine's Day earlier in the week. I had a fairly quiet one, stayed inside watching films and TV, but it was still a special day. And Pipe Plaza is a special section in The 'Shroom, because where else will you find great stats, fantastic tables, and ripped dinosaurs? Okay, don't answer that last point, apparently it pops up everywhere in The 'Shroom.
Only one big announcement, and that's a thank you to all our readers. As you'll soon read below one of our sections got nine votes! Now this may not sound like much, but usually we struggle to get ten votes overall, so thank you all for tuning in, and I hope you continue to read Pipe Plaza, we may not be the most fun of sections, but our writers still pour everything into their sections, and it'd be a shame to miss them.

Monthly Report
Written by: Paper Yoshi (talk)
Hi, everyone, and welcome to the February Issue of Monthly Report!! I wasn't able to write this section in January, but now things are back to normal, which means...
...it's time to check the current wiki stats, and see how they measure up to the ones from December 2016!!
(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
Looking at a page you edited and something seems off? Maybe the formatting is a bit wonky? You can compare past revisions of a page with the current revision by using the "History" tab at the top of the screen. You can compare two revisions at once, and you can undo a current revision to restore a page to a past revision. You should only use this option if a page has been drastically changed, or vandalized. Minor edits can be made through normal editing. Note that protected pages, such as the Main Page, can only be accessed through admin authority, so if you spot a problem on a protected page, it's best to let an admin know about it.
