The 'Shroom:Issue 122/Pipe Plaza
Director’s Notes
Hello readers! Welcome to Pipe Plaza, the only 'Shroom sub-team that sounds like an actual location, well I guess apart from Critic Corner (and no, I was not hypnotised into saying that last part).
Paper Yoshi (talk) is still studying for his exams, and I'm certain he'll do brilliantly at them. Other than that, Pipe Plaza is running as usual, which is what I like to call "Tabled Chaos".
We managed to get 21 votes this month, so we still have a bit of a mountain to climb to get up to the other teams, but I'm sure with our perseverance we will be able to make it. I'll see you here next month.

Tip of the Month
If you're like me, worried that something will go wrong while you're editing the Wiki, then you may write up the information you want to put in an article in a word processor first, save it, then copy and paste it into the Wiki. This can be good help, because you have access to Spellcheck and grammar checks from your word processor, but be careful: text pasted from word processors doesn't translate very well into Wiki code at times. The biggest stumbling block is often single apostrophes, which are used for bolding or italicizing text. Before you hit submit, make sure that you view a preview of your section to check and make sure that the words you want in bold or italics appear the way you want them to.

| RECENT PROPOSALS | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| PROPOSER | SUMMARY | OUTCOME | DEADLINE |
| Lord Bowser (talk) | Repurpose {{userspace}}. A proposal to repurpose the Userspace template. The proposer argues that the main concerns are that it seems redundant to hand out when a user overly edits in their userspace, and that the template itself is too wordy and takes too long to get to the point. Also, many users with high userspace edits often have it due to experimentation with wiki coding, which is a productive use of editing if it is meant to go onto official articles. |
14-1 (read more) | April 12, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| Wildgoosespeeder (talk) | Discourage OGG Extension (Not Format). A proposal to discourage OGG Extension. The proposer argues that this make things more easily identifiable on the Super Mario Wiki. The proposer also argues that the *.ogg extension is a generic extension to describe the *.ogv and *.oga file formats and that would be like clumping several formats (*.html, *.xml, and *.rtf formats) to be included with the *.txt extension. |
10-0 (read more) | May 3, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| Niiue (talk) | Create an infobox regarding Paper Mario series items. A proposal to create an infobox for Paper Mario series items. The proposer argues that pages for Paper Mario series items don't really have a consistent format. |
12-0 (read more) | May 4, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| YoshiFlutterJump (talk) | New {{spoileralert}} template. A proposal to create a template indicating sections with spoilers. The proposer argues that this template would go directly beneath the "Story" heading in game articles. The proposer also argues that like other readers of Super Mario Wiki, he have made a mistake by reading the "Story" sections of game pages and that those sections with spoilers don't make the game as fun. |
CANCELLED BY PROPOSER (read more) | May 12, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| TheDisneyGamer (talk) | Create a new template requesting more references. A proposal to create a template requesting more references. The proposer argues that it would be much easier to add a notice to the top of the page indicating that the page as a whole is in need of citations. |
5-10 (read more) | May 13, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| Alex95 (talk) | Create a new template for the Super Smash Bros. mugshots. A proposal to create a template for the head images of the characters in Super Smash Bros.. The proposer argues that it'd be easier and more efficient to have templates for the heads instead of writing the filename in article like Equipment. |

| RECENT TALK PAGE PROPOSALS | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| PROPOSER | SUMMARY | OUTCOME | DEADLINE |
| 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. |
FAILED TO REACH CONSENSUS (read more) | April 15, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| Wildgoosespeeder (talk) | Split List of references in video games. A proposal to split List of references in video games into several articles. The proposer argues that the list is unruly and excessive. The proposer also argues that this page needs to be split into more manageable articles. |

0-10-0 (read more) | May 8, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| Niiue (talk) | Split Mario & Luigi series Mushrooms into separate articles. A proposal to split various RPG items into seperate articles. The proposer argues that those items have unique names and effects, and should not be sharing a page. |
7-2 (read more) | May 13, 2017, 23:59 (UTC) |
| Niiue (talk) | Split Bros. Flower from Fire Flower. A proposal to split Bros. Flower, a Bros. Attack in the Mario & Luigi series from Fire Flower. The proposer argues that while Bros. Flowers are very similar to Fire Flowers, they are used slightly differently and have different names in every region. |

| Time Turner (talk) | Delete List of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episodes featuring Mouser. A proposal to delete List of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episodes featuring Mouser. The proposer argues that Mouser's only appearance as a character is in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, and leaving this information into this article leave the main article unnecessarily short. |
