The name is just a reference to the Rogueport Restoration Committee, don't worry.

Introduction

It's been a year since the TTYD remake released, but even after all this time, coverage on the game's subjects isn't the best. Blatantly wrong pieces of information are being found on pages to this day still, and many other pages aren't the most well written. As such, the goal of this project is to go through every TTYD related article, making sure the information contained on them is accurate and understandable.

Besides page rewrites, other goals of the project are:

  • Clarify mentions of regional differences (there are many comments like these on pages that are seemingly about the original game only)
  • Nominate articles to be featured or unfeatured
  • Add missing foreign names and NIOL citations
  • Better format and document remake text changes (assuming my proposal passes)
  • Find sources for official artwork and upload higher quality versions of them (looking at you, Pa-Patch)
  • Remove excessive screenshots (especially bad with Chapter 1 and 2 of the original game)
  • Resolve any ongoing discussions that exclusively revolve around TTYD
  • Double check Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) bestiary stats
  • Add Super Mario-kun TTYD adaptation info (many subjects have stub notices)
  • Replace Tattle Log images for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) bestiary (per this proposal)

Finally, I hope this project will inspire similar projects for other games in the series.

If you're interested in helping with this project, add your name here! That way, we can be in easy contact with each other to better plan this project (for instance, if someone wants to focus on a particular article, you can list that you're doing it here).

  • Technetium (talk)
    • Focuses: Project planning, NIOL citations, (more to be added)
  • LadySophie17 (talk)
    • I have a text dump so I've been slowly adding tattle quotes to NIOL sections. Might as well put my name here.
  • GeneralDonitsky (talk)
    • I have redone a few pages, so would love to help! A lot of the pages that are relatively well-written can also suffer from bad formatting, so this is definetly desperatly needed.
  • Spencer PK (talk)
    • I'm interested in getting technical info documented, as a lot of it is either explained in a misleading or incorrect way. Status effect infliction mechanics specifically is something I noticed is not good on the wiki. The Super Mario Files has tons of this technical info and much more already documented and is an excellent resource. I'm a bit afraid of joining this as I feel like I currently have a lot of Mario & Luigi documentation to do...
  • Conkdor (talk)
    • I have played through all of TTYD, so will probably be adding small info here and there.

Articles to check (WIP)

I am working on a public Google Sheets spreadsheet to better keep track of everything. I will post the link here when it's ready to go.

Artwork missing sources

Higher quality needed

Quality fine but a source would still be great

Basically everything else here: Gallery:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Artwork

  • Maybe check if any of these could use the image-quality tag added

Ongoing discussions (WIP)

(Add in split/merge suggestions too)
