Babel

I added Bengali - বাংলা: ba but it appeared red in the final preview. Why is that? MarioManiac1981 (talk) 11:10, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

Not too urgent

But I was in the middle of rewriting that section when you made those small edits. Not that I mind - in fact, I'd like you to take a look at the section now and see if you could slim it down any. -- Lord G. matters.

Hello

Hi, Mario jc. How are you during COVID-19? Did you have a great Easter? YoshiFan08(Talk)(Edits)

Thank you - Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)

Thank you for the change in the non-playable characters section of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii). I forgot to put 100m Freestyle and Badminton Doubles on the same line for Birdo and to link Blue Birdo to the Birdo (species)'s page. It's really appreciate, thanks! Ouimet (talk) 12:18, 18 April, 2020

About Pink Birdo

Hi, I'm about to publish every Team Birdo Pictures from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games's Games, where Pink Birdo appear with Blue Birdo and others Colours, would you erase all content that Pink Birdo appear as a members of her species? This is very frustrating to takes hours to made somethings that one person can erase it in 5min. I don't saying you are wrong to doing this, but can you just advise me before changing things??? Ouimet (talk) 13:44, 20 April, 2020

Unbiased

I'd like your opinion on how to handle situations like this and this (specifically, the term used for the name in PAL regions). RickTommy (talk) 09:19, April 26, 2020 (EDT)

Additionally, the Manual of Style has a typo that I've pointed out on its talk page. RickTommy (talk) 22:18, May 3, 2020 (EDT)

Shouldn't we disable the option for IPs to edit?

Many IPs have been straight-up vandals. They change PNG and JPG images to weird names (e.g. [[File:Mario.png]] to [[File:Mari.png]]), add content containing bad words, and even just changing pages in general! Is there an option to require all contributors to log in like Bulbapedia and formerly WiKirby? That would add an extra layer of defense to our wiki.

Octoling Rendezvous 08:41, April 27, 2020 (EDT)

Board Bowser's Sub

Here you undid my revision, saying "The first star of the game?" No, Big Bob-omb on the Summit can be substituted for Behind Chain Chomp's gate or Find the 8 Red Coins (IDK if the latter is possible thiugh because of the cannon, same with Shoot to the Island in the Sky). However, Board Bowser's Sub must be required to. unlock BitFS, which is required to unlock BitS, to beat the game.

Octoling Rendezvous 01:38, April 30, 2020 (EDT)

Are you secretly JC Rodrigo from Nintendo? I just found out about him in this video.

User:TheDarkStar

Sorry for sending you so many messages.

User:TheDarkStar has red links that I need to fix. As shown on SMW:WP, it is a level two offense, but fixing coding is not. Can I fix that? Thanks. Octoling Rendezvous 02:35, May 4, 2020 (EDT)

Attacky Sack accounts

There have been many accounts regarding the enemy Attacky Sack. Can you check their IPs and if the same, block their range? Thanks!

Octoling Rendezvous 05:05, May 6, 2020 (EDT)

Please

I posted a new name here but neither you or Porple are reading it. Can you please read about it? Thanks! Octoling Rendezvous 02:10, May 15, 2020 (EDT)

PORPLE IS BEING ATTACKED!

I searched up Porplemontage's name on Google and this came out:

"Porplemontage, also known as Steve, is the evil creator of the Super MarioWiki. The reason why he created the place is because that he wants to deliver false info of the Mario Series so he could (somehow) take over The Known Galaxy. Currently, the plan is failing. However, the Mario Wiki community is growing slowly. Thankfully, the MarioWiki Terrorists are here to save the day, although they always get banned in the end. Other than all of this, he is one of Bill Cosby's greatest foes, as Bill is the true creator of UnMarioWiki! Well, we only said that if you didn't know if he is...

AND THE GUY YOU PLAY AS IN MINECRAFT"

We have to do something! Report it! RESPECT OUR LEADER! Octoling Rendezvous 02:00, May 18, 2020 (EDT)

Why???

As shown here, everyone else wants me to add an infobox. I was adding them until you reverted them! I am adding a new revision with different descriptions but why do you have to revert them when everyone else agrees? That is my second favorite Mario game, outside of SMO!

And what is wrong with Story Mode? Isn't it a main mode?

BTW don't re-comment on my message wall and please just comment here instead.

Octoling Rendezvous 07:45, May 18, 2020 (EDT)

I never said adding a table is wrong. I said what you're doing with it is wrong: copying/pasting the information from the previous NSMB games' articles. Start the descriptions from scratch based on what you've played of the game, and why not add something that would distinguish it from the others (like a first level appearance column)? the You even have plenty of time before the deadline. Being a favourite game isn't why an article gets featured.

And I've already explained why the "Story Mode" section is inaccurate: There are parts that still apply to outside of Story Mode, like Controls, and parts that don't apply to Story Mode ("Extra modes"), so having them under "Story Mode" doesn't make sense. Please read the summaries more carefully. This layout is fine as it is and isn't a reason why it shouldn't be featured.

Commenting on your talk page is the only way for you to be notified. Mario JC 07:56, May 18, 2020 (EDT)

Can i re-add it but change the descriptions and maybe the images? Octoling Rendezvous 08:32, May 18, 2020 (EDT)

EDIT: I made a draft page to plan my drafts for when I want to use them later. Octoling Rendezvous 20:05, May 18, 2020 (EDT)

Very sorry about that. I just kind of wanted to test the idea out, although my work isn't lost because I'm hosting it elsewhere. Results May Vary (talk) 01:20, May 21, 2020 (EDT)

Ug trivia

Do you mind solving the dispute going on with this, because Octoling Rendevous won't budge on it unless an admin gets involved. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 09:21, May 30, 2020 (EDT)

Sorry

Hello Mario jc.

I have came here to apologize for my past mistake: Forgetting italics, edit warring, giving undeserved warnings, and conflict with Mario Sakuraba, Doc von Schmeltwick, and a few admins (including TheFlameChomp, Alex95, and you). My last mistake was adding a {{conjecture}} to a page. I thought that in LM3, every room had no name (like the SMG planets). Do you think I deserve a last warning or even a block?

Also, if your nomination for a featured article fails, can you try again?

Octoling Rendezvous 09:21, June 3, 2020 (EDT)

Don't exaggerate. You don't get a warning or block for making a first-time mistake in good faith like thinking a name was conjectural. It's not an obvious or repeated breach of the rules or anything.

There doesn't seem to be a cooldown period for FAs, but you're likely going to get the same results if you nominate it again immediately after. Take time to improve the page as others have suggested, then you can nominate it again. Mario JC 21:58, June 3, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks. Octoling Rendezvous 22:28, June 3, 2020 (EDT)

Re name

I posted a request to change my name, and it's now been over a day and no one has gotten back to it. I'm not getting impatient, I just have a feeling that none of the admins have seen it yet. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 06:31, June 18, 2020 (EDT)

Thank you so much Keyblade Master (talk) 07:47, June 18, 2020 (EDT)

Sorry

Hello Mario jc,

Thanks for the warning, Please forgive me for my grammar. I will try to be more careful about my Grammar and words to use so that the paragraph or sentence will not be too long. I am working very hard to give true Facts about Mario Kart, but my grammar is the one who is giving false information. Please forgive me, I will check my grammar every time that I edit a page. I'm also sorry to the people that is correcting my grammar.

Thank your very much for understanding -3l!jah 07:30, June 20, 2020 (PST)

Edit snipe?

I saw you reverting it on the Luigi's Mansion 3 page and I was just trying to be helpful. I didn't even know you were planning to do the same with the blue toad and yellow toad pages. Keyblade Master (talk) 07:33, June 20, 2020 (EDT)

Block me

I came to this wiki to be promoted. But with a Last Warning, I cannot. Plus, you gave me that last warning after Alex95 game me an informal reminder. I didn't war ever since he said that. And what did you do? You gaave me a. Last Warning. I am so mad at Keyblade Master that I want to tell him this:

"If you didn't join this wiki, Porple would've given me bureaucrat rights by now! But instead... Instead... I'VE LOST EVERYTHING! BECAUSE OF YOU!

{{lastwarn}}"

Now there is a 0% chance of getting me promoted. Please block me. Forever. No is not an option. I will vandalize pages if I must as a way of getting blocked if you will not now. Octoling Rendezvous 02:34, June 21, 2020 (EDT)

tbh, I should've given the Last Warning myself. I didn't look through your archive before making my message, so that's my fault. 12:09, June 21, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks

I just want to say thanks for the advice, from Yoshidud64

Balloons page

I thought I was fixing a grammar issue. Such a hard sentence to fix. Sorry.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 16:26, June 23, 2020 (EDT)

Why I do this

I believe that some users have bad faith and are reverting my good edits on purpose just so that you guys can give me warnings. That is why I revert edits unless an extremely good edit summary is added. I conflict with Keyblade and Doc because I think that they have bad faith. If an admin undoes it, however, I know that good faith is in them. The last warning I got is too harsh. Maybe reduce it to another regular warning? I am in hot enemy ink.

BTW warnings should expire, as a permanent {{lastwarn}} will block me with even a level one offense. Also, admin warnings should be able to appeal.

RE: Images

Did I do it right with [[File:Girls bonus 2.jpg]]? [-]€40 vv@(talk · edits) 11:58, June 28, 2020 (EDT)

Screwtop Shroom

Hi, I have a question regarding naming policy again. Apparently the unnamed "Screwtop Shrooms" in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U have the name "Neji-shiki Kinoko" in the Shogakukan guide. Is that a suitable name, or should the translation of the name (the article's current title) be used instead? ^(T|C) 10:43, July 1, 2020 (EDT)

Alternately, I think the internal "Spin Kinoko Lift" is a more usable name since it is common to both games and there is some more English in it (not entirely, but since "Kinoko" is already present in many other articles, I think readers will be able to easily deduce that kinoko means mushroom). LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:18, July 1, 2020 (EDT)

Casing and identifiers

Regarding shared titles - do articles like the New Super Mario Bros. U goal ring and arrow lift use identifiers if they are lowercase and thus techincally not identical to Goal Ring and Arrow Lift? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:18, July 1, 2020 (EDT)

Evoland coins

actually I'm going to have to disagree with you, sometimes resemblance can be a reference. I can see the carapace enemies referencng spinies invalid but if you zoom in on the coins you can clearly see a yellow eyed Power Star.Pikmin theories (talk) 14:56, July 6, 2020 (EDT)

I do not have a screenshot. I'm playing the Switch version and only noticed it cause a coin spawned after breaking Jaitai's pots and the camera zoomed in on him. did take a pic of a coin during the flying section and used the systems zoom in feature to confirm. but I wouldn't know anything about moving it to where i can put it here or if it would be possible to zoom in from here.Pikmin theories (talk) 23:03, July 6, 2020 (EDT)

try to zoom in on this, you should be able to see the tiny little yellow eye dots https://imgur.com/I5fl5Bj 15:18, July 7, 2020 (EDT) thumb

Nintendo Power priority

Actually, that rule only applies to Prima guides pre-Super Mario Galaxy; since Super Paper Mario is the last game properly covered by Nintendo Power, the more recent New Super Mario Bros. U Prima name would be a more appropriate title than the older Yoshi's Island Player's Guide. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:25, July 15, 2020 (EDT)

Note that source priority mainly changes between different formats, however; I don't want to emphasize policy, but it has a few choice phrases that make strategy guides different from that example:

2. Name from a Nintendo Player's Guide – A name from a Nintendo Player's Guide (also commonly known as a Nintendo Power guidebook) is an acceptable alternative. For games released after 2007, this source can no longer be used since this source is currently discontinued. Super Paper Mario is the last game in the Mario series to be covered by Nintendo Power.
3. Name from a pre-Super Mario Galaxy Prima Games Strategy Guide or any other third-party guide – A name from an officially-licensed Prima Games Strategy Guide (when they were published concurrently with Nintendo Power) is also an acceptable alternative, though in case of contradictions, the Nintendo Power name takes priority. This also applies to other official third-party guides by companies such as Bradygames. For Japanese names, guides published by Shogakukan (Nintendo's official guidebook licensee) take priority over other publications.

Perhaps it can be reworded to be a little less confusing, but the way I interpret it, the bold (especially for third tier) would only make sense if, albeit implicitly, post-2007 Prima Games Strategy Guides are second tier. In fact, I know I'm not the only one who sees it that way, since the wiki already upholds several article titles such as Super Note Block and Big Deep Cheep with this logic. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:33, July 16, 2020 (EDT)

Should we add a warning spoilers template for latest Mario game releases?

So we do know that when a new game is announced, a new page is created with some information, and more is added when more of the game is revealed until full release. If there is some people on this wiki looking about the game and have not played it before (Paper Mario: The Origami King for example), there should be a warning template about spoilers if they have not played it before, and the section of the story is hidden until they select "continue" and thus opening the story. And maybe discuss about removing the spoiler after about one or two months after release. Think this is a good idea? MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 15:51, July 16, 2020 (EDT)

I think there was a proposal before to stop doing this, and I once tried to propose holding back on spoilers until a game was out (not adding information only revealed from leaks or anything unofficial such as Prosafiagaming), which didn't pass. It's why I haven't been contributing to anything related to Paper Mario: The Origami King. I still wish spoilers would at least be cooled for new games. Nightwicked Bowser

We added a new policy page if you'd like to read it. Mario JC 23:10, July 17, 2020 (EDT)

Mmm, this makes sense now, so then we should be able to avoid stories of latest releases at all costs while playing to not lose our interest. But people these days out there might just spoil the game elsewhere on the internet which it may all happen to us before, but as long we avoid it, everything should be fine. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 02:03, July 18, 2020 (EDT)

Obnoxious IP

Would it be possible for the site to just blacklist "''[[World " with "(New Super Mario Bros. Wii)]]''" to stop this? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:38, July 20, 2020 (EDT)

Toad Captain

Hi, so I was thinking of a more suitable conjectural name for this article. Would "Violet Isles captain" work? The reason I ask is because another Toad captain also travels the Violet Isles, and the current name doesn't work at all since the legendary captain is himself a sea captain. ^(T|C) 16:23, July 21, 2020 (EDT)

Dragon links

The rest of the links are in Talk pages and The Shroom articles, should those be removed as well before the article can be deleted? Nightwicked Bowser

Also, the remaining article links are for the Yoshi's Story Dragons, and should therefore be kept up. ^(T|C) 10:11, July 23, 2020 (EDT)

Thank you! - Longtime4321

Quotes vs. no quotes in song titles

I've noticed that the titles you've used for songs in Paper Mario: The Origami King are without quotes (such as Happy & Sappy), though the majority of the game's song articles are with quotes (such as "Thrills at Night"), given that they're also key items whose titles use quotes. For the sake of consistency, what standard should be used? ^(T|C) 18:23, August 6, 2020 (EDT)

2 Questions

1. Is it still okay if you edit an archive just to fix broken file links and red links?
2. For the Paper Macho Parabomb, could you find the Musée Champignon collectible treasure description for the "Paper Macho Crater Crushers"? Thanks in advance! DarkNight 16:15, August 17, 2020 (EDT)

EDIT: Never mind about the second one. DarkNight 17:00, August 17, 2020 (EDT)

I was discussing the file that you deleted with Doomdorm64 (talk), although he hasn't responded yet. What I said was that the file I uploaded had worse quality but more of the pepper, but the other one had a better quality, but the pepper blended in with the mouth, so you couldn't see most of it.

Wario trivia

I have the game and manual here with me, in fact I wrote that part of the trivia. I know that it is wrong because I have it in writing in front of me stating otherwise. The "eyesight used to be perfect" is fine, but the rest is unnecessary. Pallukun (talk) 13:04, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

This was a conversation point that occurred in a Discord server last night. We discovered that the trivia section was inconsistent with information from the United States instruction manual, and checking with a German user confirmed that their information more closely resembles ours. I'm wondering which region your copy is from? Roserade (talk) 14:18, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

Said user has now provided us with a PAL copy of the manual, and it seems there are some differences between the NA and PAL manuals that are not just direct unit conversions (for example, changing the eyesight from 20/70 in the NA version to 20/40 in the PAL version). We'll look into the differences and note both versions. Hooded Pitohui (talk) 14:34, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

My region is pal and language is english. I didn't realise some information was just different in other regions. If both versions are listed, then I don't see any issue. Pallukun (talk) 14:51, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

I know I probably should have waited for your input first, but I'm posting this on behalf of LinkTheLefty: should this Arrow Lift take priority over this one? ^(T|C) 17:35, August 19, 2020 (EDT)

Forum talk

There have been a few times where I removed things from talk pages assuming it was forum talk, and it was put back by you or someone else saying it was valid enough to stay on the talk pages. So I need you to clarify this for me to make sure I don't keep doing this, if someone posts a question relating to the subject on the talk page about their appearance (e.g. "when does this appear in the game") can that sort of thing stay on the talk page? You said in your edit summary the answer could be put in the article. And regarding actual forum talk, it would only be stuff like "what is your favorite moment of this subject" that gets removed from the talk page on sight? Nightwicked Bowser

Seriously!?

Boo (Mario Party Advance) I use, a VERY decrepit browser...

How am I supposed to create a page without time!?

I can't snap my fingers and have an article!

The redirect was understandable, but the WIP?

I give up! Everything I do is undone - I thought this one would be appreciated. Obviously not.

I'm done. I can't create without time to do it - especially for my browser.

I'm leaving. No point in wasting time just to have a revision. CappyThrow (Talk) 02:38, August 28, 2020 (EDT)

I understand, but I had actually just finished de-captain goomba-ing the page like, a minute later. It should be obvious I have inhibitions using a 3ds, I get maybe tops a minute before it forces a reload, I have to move quick, save a lot, and watch the clock. Without 5 minutes leisure time (lack of better terminology), I can't do a thing. It's all been lost many times before. Copy-Paste has a highly limited character usage,(somewhere around a single paragraph) so doing the whole article in one copy is entirely out of the question. No, I do not have ANY other available device.

Could you think it over, look through all my records, and find A SINGLE EDIT that lasted for even an hour? (Userspace doesn't count) Ones I'm particularly proud of... And, in this example HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED YET.

I find no reason to stick around. I can't make any edit for one reason to the next. It's not about discouragement (while it plays a role to be sure) But even logic dictates, if you know the outcome, if you know it's a waste of time, don't do it. Would you honestly stay in my situation? You're an idiot to say yes. CappyThrow (Talk) 03:42, August 28, 2020 (EDT)
