The 'Shroom:Issue 120/Pipe Plaza
Director’s Notes
Hello readers! I do hope you're enjoying our collect-a-thon edition of The 'Shroom. And hopefully you're here to collect all of the information about the wiki in the month that has gone by. For first time readers we have articles on the featured articles, all of the new articles that have been created in the past month, as well as the latest analysis on the month's polls. What we don't have are Power Stars, to give away, I tried to get them, but someone must have beaten me to them.
A few announcements to make, veteran readers will know that around this time of the year Lakituthequick (talk) joins us, and updates us all on the plans about the MarioWiki's anniversary celebrations, well this month is no different, and I'm pleased to announce that he has returned. Lakituthequick isn't the only returning writer we have this month: Alex95 (talk) is back, but this time he's writing Upcoming Games, and not New Articles. However, we do have to say goodbye to one of writers. Shokora (talk) has resigned from Projects Seeking Contributors to focus on university studies. I wish him the best of luck.
We may not have gotten as much votes as we did last month, but we still got plenty of votes in our Section of the Month poll, so thank you for sticking with us. Also, we actually have a nice little leaderboard, as none of the top three drew for votes. Read on, and enjoy dear readers.

Tip of the Month
Greetings, readers, today, I'll be teaching you how to create a hyperlink to an outside page in an article so it doesn't appear as a massive, ugly link on the page. For this, I'll be using the Wikipedia page for Mario. When coded correctly, your link will look like that in your article. Here's how you do it.
The button on your editing menu that has the globe will give you the formatting automatically, but if you want to manually enter it, it's one set of straight brackets, followed by the ENTIRE hyperlink (yes, even the http// part) and then to rename your link, leave one space between the end of the link and the beginning of your new title. Be sure that the new title accurately describes the link you're referring to. When you're finished, the code should look like this: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_(franchise) Mario]

| PROPOSER | SUMMARY | OUTCOME | DEADLINE |
| Wildgoosespeeder (talk) | Create {{ongoing TPP}}. A proposal to create a template to make linking to talk page proposals easier. The proposer argues that it's tedious to copy the same code over and over again for bolding, linking, and saying deadline. |

| Byllant (talk) | Split Template: Mario games into several, more practical navboxes. A proposal to split Mario games template into several navigation boxes. The proposer argues that it's clogged with so many links it's tiresome to look at it. The proposer also argues that it is more appropriate to have several navboxes each focused on a game series rather than having them all together in an box. |

| Alex95 (talk) | Move Power Suit to Varia Suit or delete it and move info to Zero Laser's page. A proposal to move Power Suit to Varia Suit or delete it and move the info to Zero Laser's page. The proposer argues that the information is actually incorrect. What this page calls the Power Suit is actually Samus's Varia Suit. The proposer also argues that it doesn't seem to have any purpose for either the Mario series or the Super Smash Bros. series and the only time the Power/Varia Suit needs to be mentioned is during Zero Laser's Brawl's information about how it falls apart. |
