Re: King Koopa's Kool Kartoons[edit]
Hey there! I want to ask you to slow down with this show's coverage. You don't need to make a page for every show that was aired as part of it, the nature of these kind of variety shows means that a lot of unrelated things are going to show up. You also don't need to make pages for the prizes featured on the show, either. If you want this to change, you're going to have to raise a proposal about it. Nevertheless, thank you for your contributions. — eviemaybe

- I didn't add the prize pages for Kool Kartoons, in fact I only added the Muppet Babies page because the prize pages exist - the logic being (admittedly a bit arbitrary in hindsight) "The show's called Kool Kartoons, not Kool Prizes, the cartoons are the central attraction". I'm fine with Muppet Babies being deleted (and the other cartoons not getting pages by association), but I do think that there should be some reconsideration of if the prize pages should be kept. I guess there's the argument to be made that King Koopa interacts with the prizes but not the cartoons (at least directly, not counting him just stating that they're coming up/just ended)? That seems statisfactory enough to me. Thank you for being polite. --BubzieBobkat (talk) 00:10, March 14, 2026 (UTC)
- I, personally, think just listing which object was awarded as a prize in each episode is enough, under the logic that while King Koopa is a character being played on-stage, the prizes are just real objects. I certainly wouldn't expect a wiki for any other game show to have pages for every prize they've featured on the show. Thank you for being polite too! — eviemaybe

Re: "About" templates and redirects[edit]
I hate to have to message you twice about similar issues, but I (and other staff members) want to ask you to please slow down with adding dubious {{About}} redirects on pages. Those exist to guide people to pages they might be looking for, and I doubt anyone is searching for, say, Funky Kong by the name of "Cranky". I know it is technically a name Funky has been called, but being technically correct should not be prioritized above being clear and useful. The same goes to most of the other redirects you've added recently, which I am going to have to ask you to revert for now.
If you are unsure about whether a change in the wiki would be a good idea, I recommend discussing it with other users first, either on the wiki itself, on the Mario Boards forum, or the official Discord server. — eviemaybe

- I have reverted the tags on Wrinkly Kong, Whispy Woods, Chunky Kong, Squeaks, and Flapper, but kept the redirects, mostly going off of the precedent of the Roger the Potted Ghost "about" being reverted but not the other Ness redirects (I've also reverted the edit on Scene A to adjust for this). Disambig pages and redirects seem a lot less likely to be intrusive than a piece of text on the top of a full page. If the redirects and disambig edits need deleting (I'd assume that includes the Ness alternate names and Sonic beta names?) I can add the deletion tags and remove the disambig entries - my mess after all - but it could take a while. --BubzieBobkat (talk) 00:08, March 31, 2026 (UTC)
- Re-reading this, I think the message is actually just to delete all the redirects? I'll add delete notices to all of the Ness and Bonus Bonanza redirects, but keep them for the Sonic redirects since it lines up with redirects like Maurice. --BubzieBobkat (talk) 00:27, March 31, 2026 (UTC)
- I personally don't agree with Maurice existing either, to be honest. Generally, just because something is already done by the wiki, it does not mean it is the right way to do it. Regardless, I appreciate your openness to feedback, and I thank you for the swift response. — eviemaybe

Linking to redirects[edit]
When linking, please make sure you link to the exact title, and not through redirects (for example, [[List of implied characters#Aunt Maria|Aunt Maria]] instead of just [[Aunt Maria]]).
