Ha ha! I chose 777 because is is both the number of God and considered 'lucky'. Hey, if you need simple help, I may be able to help you. But you may be better off contacting an administrator or bureaucrat. DarkBowser777(talk) 20:25, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

RE: Trivia

It's not that trivia is outlawed on the wiki, it's just where possible we do try to incorporate trivia into the main body of the article. I do apologise if my summary came off bad or rude towards you. Personally, I felt the Super Mario RPG part fitted well in the intro, hence why I thought it should stay there. But in all honesty, the second point probably is better of as a trivia point. Yoshi876 (talk)

RE: Spotlight

Will certainly take a look at including Skillit in a future edition, thanks for the suggestion. As for the Oxford comma, do you have a forum account? If you do, then I'd suggest starting a discussion here. If not, just let me know, and I'll start it for you. Yoshi876 (talk)

No worries, I'll start a discussion soon for you. Yoshi876 (talk)

Shiny enemies

In regards to this proposal, may I ask why you support giving the paper enemies separate articles but not the shiny enemies? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 17:58, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

May I ask why splitting the shiny variants would be too much? Keep in mind we have already split pages like Gritty Goomba and Gritty Goomba, among others, due to the two species having different appearances and different stats. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 19:03, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

We don't necessarily need a monolithic, set-in-stone policy page to decide how things work; a policy page won't be able to cover every single nuance in the games, especially as the franchise comes up with new ideas and throws new gimmicks at us. At the same time, through proposals like these, we can create a precedent that can then be followed for future articles. Proposals give us freedom that a policy page may not give us. With that in mind, we've already had proposals that decided to not merge the Gritty Goombas and not merge the "R" version of enemies, so I don't see why this should be any different. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 19:13, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

Tips for Proposal

Hello. When making a talk page proposal, please remember to add the {{TPP}} template to the top of the section. Also, TPP's end two weeks after the proposal's start. Regular proposals on the main page end after one week. 14:04, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

Re: Nerd rage

It's a simple mistake on my bit, I'm not too familiar with the subject but the important part is that we will be theming Issue 128 on 2D Mario games. Meta Knight (talk) 01:16, 17 September 2017 (EDT)

RE: Yes, it's Cam again (shroom spotlight?)

Don't worry it's not annoying in the slightest :) Sadly, it was too late to include in this edition of Spotlight, all of our focuses were already decided upon, but we will take a lot at it for our November issue, October is usually a themed one. Yoshi876 (talk)

Skillit

Hello! What information is needed for the Skillit article? I have easy access to the game, so I could probably find more information on him if I know what is needed. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2017 (EDT)

Ok, I will try to find some more information (though it may be a few days, as I'm busy at the moment). I don't really think it needs more information about his personality; from what I remember about him, I feel that part is complete.--TheFlameChomp (talk) 11:16, 21 September 2017 (EDT)

Re: Question

Hello!

I used this website to create the picrosses. Once they're generated, I used Snipping Tool to get a picture of them, and then I cropped and recoloured them in paint.NET. Sometimes the website makes mistakes when generating the puzzle, so I had to check over them to make sure the answer and the puzzle match up. If not, I just edit the numbers to make it match. Feel free to ask about anything else! (T · C) 17:19, 21 September 2017 (EDT)

The website doesn't generate a solution for you; instead, you'll have to Snipping Tool the original puzzle you drew, then paste that on top of the puzzle to get a cohesive solution. Have fun. (T · C) 10:49, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

Re: Question

Hello!

Your entire application is sent through a forum PM, as well as future submissions, so you can just submit your images in the same PM making a note of which image is which and things like that. For example, when I first applied I had my image I wanted in standard coding, and provided image links and/or the image itself outside the demo portion of the application but within the same PM. If you need anything else let me know, and I'm glad to see you're interested in writing! Meta Knight (talk) 18:24, 22 September 2017 (EDT)

Proposals

Pardon me for bothering, but I've responded to several of the concerns that you raised on a couple of proposals: removing rule 4 and deleting the Minor NPCs category. I'd appreciate it if you could respond to them whenever you're able to. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 12:11, 10 October 2017 (EDT)

This ain't clutter; it's Fun Stuff!

Greetings, beautiful Camwoodstock! This is Roserade, letting you know that your sections are due at November 14th. Please PM me your completed section on the forums by the listed date. Let me know if you'll be late! For Fun Stuff, Roserade (talk)

Sorry for the lateness, I'll be more lenient on deadlines this time around cause of it. Thanks! LB (talk • edits • forum) 00:39, 10 November 2017 (EST)

Rocky Wrench

Currently, Rocky Wrench is said to be a derivative of Monty Mole. Since we don't separate "versions" of these, this is saying that the mole and turtle are related. However, it is also saying that Rocky Wrench is based off of an enemy that wouldn't appear for four years, which makes no sense. I'm trying to rectify that. Also, a bat is related to a sea slug, which is even further apart from this, and I see no complaining about that from anyone. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:38, 9 May 2018 (EDT)

Wario Ware characters

Seeing as you have improved most of the characters stories in the WWIMM article (Good job), I probably might suggest you to improve some of the wario ware characters article paragraphs; I recall you having a replay of the WWIMM game.  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  06:11, May 8, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you very much! We might take a stab at it at some point, but for now, though, we've already got enough on our plate with the MMG article itself, alongside a few other things (mostly proposal related), so that'd probably be something we go after later. ~Camwoodstock (talk) 10:26, May 8, 2023 (EDT)

Talk:Wario's Warehouse#Delete page and anything related to it from the wiki

Just letting you know I've updated the proposal with a new option: "Move page to the BJAODN archive and remove anything else related to it from the wiki". -- KOOPA CON CARNE 16:15, May 27, 2023 (EDT)

Recurring themes proposal changes

Hey, just a heads up that I amended my proposal about recurring themes that you voted for, so I would recommend you go take a look at it and make sure you still agree with it. I changed the proposal to clarify/reword some points, include a list of definitions of terms, and adjusted the standard regarding remakes to be more consistent in response to people’s comments. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! ToxicOJ (talk) 03:07, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Oops! Proposal stuff

I'm kinda confused on what the question is. I voted in the proposal because I feel the page is unneeded because Hip Koopa is a recurring character and the shows he was in didn't last very long. TheUndescribableGhost (talk) 11:02, November 12, 2023 (EST)

Okay, I am on board for it affecting other articles as well. TheUndescribableGhost (talk) 13:16, November 12, 2023 (EST)

Feedback for cleaning up Category:Thieves

Hello! Swallow and I are discussing a cleanup of Category:Thieves. Mind sharing your feedback? You were a great help in cleaning up the lookalike categories! SolemnStormcloud (talk) 17:10, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Here ya go! 12k characters of category-analysis goodness. Hopefully we can move talk of what to do for the category over there now, since we've got the list there and all. ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 20:32, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Thanks for your hard work again! SolemnStormcloud (talk) 20:52, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Just so you don't miss it, I updated my final comment in the talk page to further clarify my definition of "career thieves". SolemnStormcloud (talk) 01:14, January 15, 2024 (EST)

Wario's mother section on List of implied characters

Question does this piece of info that appears on the Wario's mother section of the List of implied characters article actually appear within Wario's Warehouse "Wario's Warehouse also states that Wario's mother perceives her son as so goofy that she never threw him a birthday party. Consequently, Wario does not know his age."
(unsigned by Jkgkffdfb (talk))

A very cursory search yields no results for "party" or "birthday", and "age" doesn't result in anything useful. This might be a fib, though admittedly, we're not the ones to ask on this, however--we're not exactly a massive authority on the Deep Wario's Warehouse Lore, and there's a very real chance we missed something in our cursory searches. We could confirm that the "he stole from his mom" line is 100% true however; just the first sentence of the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle section. ~Camwoodstock (talk) 11:57, January 28, 2024 (EST)

In regards to the Smash category proposal

For clarification, was that solely for the series categories, or are the Smash redirects supposed to be de-categorized, period? (Like say, Charizard with category:Dragons and category:Fire creatures). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:10, March 1, 2024 (EST)

While we'd like to do the latter at some point (albeit on a more broad scope than just the redirects that happened to be in the "series" subcategories), we made the proposals with the former in mind. ~Camwoodstock (talk) 21:38, March 1, 2024 (EST)

Proposal cleaned up

I cleaned up my proposal by adding the <pre> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks? GuntherBayBeee 21:02, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

BJAODN page for the aliens

Phew, finally free from that pink ape... Thanks for saving me! I saw your suggestion on splitting the Alien (Club Nintendo) entry on MarioWiki:BJAODN/Characters into its own article as a cautionary tale, and I wholeheartedly agree with doing that!

I've copied the entry in question to my sandbox, but I'd like to expand on this idea of yours before I think about launching this page. Regardless of infamy, I personally consider MarioWiki:BJAODN/In the Clouds too short to have its own page and may (don't count on it) start a proposal to merge it to the Locations subpage. I allow anyone to edit my sandbox, so be my guest(s). SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:57, April 3, 2024 (EDT)

Ah, we mentioned splitting it mostly so we could feature a before-and-after with it, rather than just its old incarnation; both as a cautionary tale, but also as a showcase of how even the most dubious of articles can be made into something more worthwhile and quality. We'd feel a little weird about writing that framing ourselves, though, as the people who fixed the article; so uh, if you want to take a shot at it yourself, be our guest! ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 16:53, April 3, 2024 (EDT)

I can't really think of how to write this framing, so I guess I'll just leave it as-is in the Characters subpage. Thanks for the feedback, though! SolemnStormcloud (talk) 19:30, April 3, 2024 (EDT)

Enacting proposal

I've been helping to enact your proposal for you. Many things are tagged for deletion, but hopefully this will help clear up to everyone what will be "pruned" from the wiki and what won't. Assist Trophy and Final Smash pages now have only Super Mario content, and the list pages have all of the Smash Bros. content (plus, I updated all of the redirects to the list pages accordingly). Super Mario RPG (talk) 17:59, April 12, 2024 (EDT)

Wait, this is in regards to the proposal about categories, correct? (To be fair--we meant to run proposals on slimming down the Final Smash page in particular, and we might do it for Assist Trophies as well. But the first proposal was specifically about the various "<x> series" categories being inundated with redirects to the exact same few List pages.) ~Camwoodstock (talk) 19:45, April 12, 2024 (EDT)

Yes, it was that proposal of yours. I slimmed down the Assist Trophy and Final Smash articles to cover only Super Mario content, while List of Assist Trophy characters and List of Final Smashes has all of the content on it. Super Mario RPG (talk) 19:53, April 12, 2024 (EDT)

Listen, we're tired, so maybe we're just misunderstanding, but if we have things right, uh, we might have a problem. The proposal was specifically about the categories listed in the proposal, and specifically, removing the various redirect articles from those categories (e.g. removing the Bonus Fruit redirect link from the Category:Pac-Man series category) or, in the case of some categories that were either majority or all redirects, wiping the category clean (e.g. removing all of the instances of the Category:Fatal Fury series category and, by proxy, wiping its description as it no longer has a use). In essence, the proposal was to clean up categories, not the articles themselves--that was something we planned to hold a vote on later. ~Camwoodstock (talk) 20:03, April 12, 2024 (EDT)

I didn't tag any articles for deletion, only the redirects and a few disambiguation pages not concerning the Super Mario franchise at all (e.g. Thunder Jolt). Super Mario RPG (talk) 20:10, April 12, 2024 (EDT)

To state this in clearer terms--no articles should be deleted, so at least that's true. However, the categories mentioned as exceptions in that Proposal (Duck Hunt, Fire Emblem, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Pikmin, Punch-Out!!, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, Dragon Quest, Game & Watch, Final Fantasy, Ice Climber, The Legend of Zelda, Pac-Man, Rhythm Heaven, Sonic the Hedgehog, Splatoon, and Street Fighter) should've had all the redirects/disambiguations in them lose the Series categories, while all the redirects within the categories that were not exceptions (so, every other Category mentioned in the proposal's opening that wasn't a part of that list) should've had all articles that mention its category lose the category, and wipe the now-orphaned category description. The Final Smash and Assist Trophy articles were not mentioned in the proposal, thus, they shouldn't have been touched at all--not yet, anyways. ~Camwoodstock (talk) 20:18, April 12, 2024 (EDT)

What was the main page design idea that you had?

I think you said you wanted to show in Paint.NET how you envisioned the explore/navigate cells looking in the proposed main page design. Super Mario RPG (talk) 23:57, May 20, 2024 (EDT)

Ah, shoot, it slipped our mind entirely. The past few days, we've kinda been tied up in something. (For today, it's mostly been wrestling a nasty tooth cavity.) We'd like to hopefully get around to it before the proposal ends, but admittedly, it's a pretty low priority for us... ~Camwoodstock (talk) 01:05, May 21, 2024 (EDT)

Smash Bros. proposals

I think I'm going to stop doing Smash Bros. proposals, since you and the community here seem to have a better idea on how to handle Smash coverage.

Was going to say (and this is not at all directed at you) that the argument of "I don't like this wiki" (which I've seen someone say about SmashWiki in a proposal) should NEVER be an excuse to keep loosely or entirely unrelated content. It's also selfish when considering that are more dedicated wikis that could really use the help with such content, especially NintendoWiki, and the right course of action was moving the Memory Card page over to there. Super Mario RPG (talk) 14:32, June 5, 2024 (EDT)

Vandal interactions

Hey, thanks for reverting the vandal, but please don't talk to them in the summaries with insults. This is from someone on last warn for making this mistake; just leave the edit summary blank. ^S _o ^m _e ^t _h ⁱ _n ^g _o ⁿ _e ! 17:07, June 7, 2024 (EDT)

Aye, fair enough. though also, admittedly, we doubt many people are going to swing to bat at a vandal that made exactly 4 edits, ~Camwoodstock (talk) 17:08, June 7, 2024 (EDT)

Yah, just affirming what Somethingone said. But no worries, either of you. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 17:29, June 7, 2024 (EDT)
