Tip of the Month

Written by: FunkyK38 (talk)

When you reference the title of something in an article, you need to format it correctly. Names of characters (Mario, Peach, etc.) don't have to be formatted. Just link to the page the first time you use them. Names of publications or games (Nintendo Power, Super Mario Bros., etc) should be italicized. You can easily put something in italics by typing two apostrophes in front of and behind the word/s you want to be in italics. Make sure, though, that you don't use quotation marks instead of two apostrophes. Place the apostrophes before and after the brackets for a link or a hyperlink to another site. Your font change should be the first and last thing in the code. To put something in bold, use three apostrophes instead of two in front and after the desired word. You can also combine bold type and italics by using five apostrophes.

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

A proposal to decide if we should create categories other 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.

Reboot (talk) Move Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Wario (series) pages to * (franchise) and retool.

A proposal to move Yoshi (series), Donkey Kong (series) and Wario (series) to Yoshi (franchise), Donkey Kong (franchise) and Wario (franchise) respectively. The proposer argues that the commonality between them is that they feature the named character, usually in the title, being motley mixes of platformers, puzzles and "other". In addition, there are a bunch of series-within-these-series (including Wario) that get their own pages with nigh-identical content based on a subset of the page.

3D Player 2010 (talk) Change the rules of BJAODN.

A proposal to change five rules of BJAODN. The proposer argues that this could allow funnier things to happen and if necessary, implement a rule similar to the Userspace policy where excessive BJAODN editing is a warnable offense.

Reboot (talk) Prohibit the use of {{color}}, {{color link}}, {{color link}} and {{Color link external}} other than for legibility reasons.

A proposal to prohibit the use of four templates ({{color}}, {{color link}}, {{color link}} and {{Color link external}}) other than for legibility reasons. The proposer argues that the only valid use of these templates should be where the default text color would be hard to read against a background.

RECENT TALK PAGE PROPOSALS
PROPOSER SUMMARY OUTCOME 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 coins.

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.

Shokora (talk) Merge Mad Scienstein with Arewo Shitain-hakase.

A proposal to merge Mad Scienstein with Arewo Shitain-hakase. The proposer argues that a three-part translation emerged, which translates the Wario interview seen on the official Japanese Wario Land 4 gamepage. According to the translation, Arewo Shitain-hakase confirmed himself to be Mad Scienstein.

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.

Ultimate Mr. L (talk) Make an article for Giant Bowser of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.

A proposal to create an article for Giant Bowser from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. The proposer argues that an article for Giant Luigi from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team already exists. The proposer also argues that he is called Giant Bowser in-game which is probably the only time he is officially named in this form.

7-0 (read more) November 3, 2016, 23:59 (UTC)
Mario jc (talk) Merge Bouncy Mushroom with Mushroom Trampoline.

A proposal to merge Bouncy Mushroom with Mushroom Trampoline. The proposer argues that since "Bouncy Mushroom" was an article with a conjectural name and "Mushroom Trampoline" is an article with an official name, the former should be merged with the officially named object, as both share the same basic function of "bouncing the player upwards".
