Moving pages

I know I'm not the person you're asking, but I'll still answer. The reason you can't move pages is because you are not autoconfirmed yet; this will happen one week after your account was created (this case being the 26th) and have made at least ten edits. There will be a "move" tab available at the top of the page then. The page you want to move however, does warrant an identifier since the name is shared with another "Steve".

Figured I'd just add here: no problem, but in the future, if you run into conflicts moving a page, you can either tag the redirect to be moved with {{delete}} or ask one of these fellows. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:20, July 31, 2022 (EDT)

Naming

If you're annoyed with how the wiki handles naming, you could go to either Mario Wiki on Fandom or to Mariopedia. Both handle naming based on the English names and, well, common sense (e.g. are they green Cheep Cheeps or Deep Cheeps? this can be identified from their behavioral patterns). In my opinion, the Japanese naming can be listed as trivia points whereas on a Japanese wiki it would make more sense to sort subjects based on Japanese names. Things can often be different in localization, and I would not count out subjects being the same in one region but different in another based on naming alone. 104.129.57.143 23:41, May 29, 2022 (EDT)

Then why not post this on EVERY SINGLE OTHER user's page who believes we should separate based on Japanese names? PrincessPeachFan (talk) 09:35, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

Who else? 104.223.103.115 10:26, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

A lot of people, read the talk of SMW:NAMING for a few. Somethingone (talk) 10:31, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

Looks like there's a few. I dunno, is this situation bad enough for many to point of wanting a separate Mario wiki altogether? Point of no compromise? 104.223.103.115 10:37, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

Why would anyone want to make a new wiki over a simple naming priority inconsistency? Naming issues are going to always be here if we want to aim for the most accurate representation of things, and there's no point in trying to make a one-size-fits-all for splits and merges(there's times where Japanese names do dictate them and times where they don't). Somethingone (talk) 10:45, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

That's a good point 108.59.6.106 10:45, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

The point is, several enemies share the same Japanese name and they look the same no matter what (e.g. the Big Cheep Cheeps) and should be merged or at the very least point how incredibly similar they are and others share the same Japanese name but are clearly different things (e.g. Hachhi which can be used to refer to Bzzaps! from Paper Mario or the Propellor Bees from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat). My apologies if that didn't come across that way. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 10:52, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

I'll save you the trouble: we are not interested in other wikis. For one thing, your own Deep Cheep example contradicts itself: if you're using "common sense" behavioral patterns to determine definite appearances, you're saying that you support the notion of trimming the Super Mario Maker info off the page, unlike what we and those other wikis you listed are doing, which I don't think you're trying to get at. Secondly, saying that localization changes the regional intent is total fluff; not only do official translations obviously constantly change hands and are handled by people who are on a time crunch and may not have the time and, frankly, resources that more dedicated fans do, but this comes dangerously close to making canon arguments, something that at least one of those wikis is keen on doing (our approach is basically this I believe, and personally, this is absolutely not something that any responsible wiki should be dictating to their readers unless their series has an explicit canon policy, as it is especially subjective for long-running franchises, but I digress). And yes, this goes both ways - changed/shared names are clearly, demonstrably possible in the original language - but this is more due to other reasons such as occasional lapse of communication between developers rather something as tricky and filled with individual touches as localization, and as such, this is more prone to happen in translation. For that matter, among other reasons that have been outlined numerous times in the past, the majority of users that agree with this approach are well aware of cases like the big version of enemies where it would be largely impractical to break up no matter how you split it. We've always discussed these matters on a case-by-case basis, hence why this is mostly proposal and not policy. Fact of the matter is, going full localization or literal-blind will cause more problems in both the short and long runs than the way things are currently run. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:50, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

I also want to point out that Japanese names do not matter nearly as much regarding the Donkey Kong games, as English is the language-of-origin for those. Nightwicked Bowser 12:09, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

RE:Construction Site Fight Proposal

Rule 10 on the MarioWiki:Proposals page states that "If a proposal with only two voting options has more than ten votes, it can only pass or fail by a margin of three votes". At the time of this proposal's third extension (and thus before Spectrogram removed their vote), there were a total of 16 votes with a 2-vote difference between the support and the opposition. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 19:05, March 31, 2023 (EDT)

Can't expect everyone to instantly and automatically know all the rules of a website. But I understand. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 19:13, March 31, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Ice Piranha Plant

I opposed before as well for the same reasons, though there's not much that can be done if the support is overwhelming. Regardless, I stand by my opposing stance. Outside of that, I'm always glad to find people I agree with. Tails777 Talk to me!

Re:Gnawty

I think it's fine the way it is. Donkey Kong 64 material was known for using generic names for whatever reason. For exclusive enemies, this means these are the only English names they're known by (the Japanese names tend to be more unique, though it's unclear if that's the work of localization or contact with Rare). Gnawty is not only a returning enemy akin to Klaptrap or Zinger, but the manual that the game came with is considered the highest-priority source next to the game itself.

Can the Hermite Crab appear as early as you first get the hammers? NEMRISE1294 (talk) 20:14, July 3, 2024 (EDT)

Erm, I'm not sure. I only first noticed that the Hermite Crabs first appear when Boss Brickle gets stuck in the fountain. I never really checked if they appear when you grab the hammers. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 21:51, July 3, 2024 (EDT)

Can you please try it out for me! NEMRISE1294 (talk) 16:54, July 4, 2024 (EDT)

Moving pages via cut and pasting.

Uh, hi. I don't think moving pages by cutting the contents from one page and pasting it in a second page is allowed. I think this has to do with page histories. By moving the page in this manner, a reader can no longer see which users built up the page and what they added. I'm no media wiki technician, but I think pages are supposed to be moved using that tool because it moves the history of the page along with the contents. Salmancer (talk) 13:10, January 6, 2025 (EST)

Pages are meant to moved first, and then the redirect's talk page gets deleted. I will do this properly. Sparks (talk) 13:12, January 6, 2025 (EST)

Voting in proposals

After your recent vote[1], some users noticed some of your prior votes in proposals veer into being overly terse, despite being accompanied by a comment explaining the reasoning.[2][3][4][5][6] While there is an emergent pattern of users making light-hearted votes in place of well-reasoned explanations or siding with other users for their vote, I recommend to show some more respect for people's proposals in general and try to avoid phrasings like "no", or "no way" or "not a chance". If you don't agree with a proposal but have no additional comments to provide, you may be best off simply saying "Per all". If you do have comments, such as what you attempted in several the diff links here, instead of writing "no" in your vote and then supporting it with a lengthy comment, write something like "see comment below" in your vote. In other cases, such as your vote in Hurricane (move), you should simply write your comment as your vote. Some of your posts have left people commenting on your behavior, such as in Hurricane (move), which is avoidable.

Similar to above, you've also replied to a comment in a similar manner[7]. When engaging with users, please be more thoughtful in your responses. If you disagree with what is written and need to voice your disagreement, invest more time assuming good faith and explaining why you do not agree, to encourage healthier debate. It's me, Mario!

Please stop making abrasive votes in proposals on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing. If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

This[8] is exactly the sort of comment I was advising you to refrain from. Do not write these kinds of votes and then try to justify them in the comments section. Instead, I recommend to write your comment as your vote. Once again, please heed to my warnings. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 23:04, October 14, 2025 (EDT)

Plagiarizing a community member

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (Taking the comments of another user word for word, and building a proposal around their ideas without their involvement or consent) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Hello, PrincessPeachFan. As you have probably seen in this revision, the proposal you raised on the Sticker article has been vetoed by site staff for plagiarism. I understand writing in one's own words when inspired by those of another can be difficult, but taking a fellow user's words without their involvement, consent, or even credit is very discourteous behavior, especially within the context of shaping a proposal wholly around their ideas. This is not to happen again. Please be advised that this is coming off of a reminder from another staff member a little over a month ago that was also centered around discourteous behavior directed towards other users. Editing a wiki is a communal craft. It necessitates collaboration or at least respecting other users in order to function efficiently. I hope this is something you will keep in mind.

Going forward, if you want to create a proposal based around the ideas of someone else, you are to reach out to them first to ask if they are comfortable with that. You can even work together, as a proposal codifying co-authorship of proposals passed earlier this year. It is a common courtesy on this site and other facets of life not to just take someone else's words and try to pass them off as your own. I hope you received this message well. - Nintendo101 (talk) 23:22, November 26, 2025 (EST)

Hello, again. I noticed you launched a new proposal that does credit Salmancer, which I am sure they would appreciate. However, from what I see from Salmancer's and yours respective edit histories, it does not seem you established dialogue with him. Is this impression correct, or did you two touch base someplace else? - Nintendo101 (talk) 11:33, November 27, 2025 (EST)

Hi. I reached out to Salmancer and he clarified to me that you did not coordinate with him to launch that second proposal, which goes against the directives I gave you yesterday. In case it was not clear, I was not making a request. You must coordinate with him if you seek to pursue this specific proposal idea further, and you are not to use another user's words or ideas to launch a proposal as if it was your own.

In contrast to Doomhiker's Nipper Dandelion proposal, where they quoted several other's points (as well as their own) with unambiguous credit to build a larger case. Firstly, Doomhiker used their perspectives to build a unique case that was legitimately his own and was amassing the comments others had for clarification of what different people thought. They did not take the words and ideas of someone else to pass them off as their own, which is what one does when they just take their words without proper credit or tries to act upon the ideas of another. Everyone was fully credited straight-off-the-bat in Doomhiker's proposal and none of them voiced their discomfort with the proposal. Salmancer did with you. For additional clarification, I recommend reviewing the Wikipedia article on plagiarism, this guide on what constitutes as plagiarism from Harvard University, or this 4-minute video uploaded by PBS. Please let me know if you understand. - Nintendo101 (talk) 13:03, November 27, 2025 (EST)

Yes, I understand.

Proposal request

Hi PrincessPeachFan, as far as I know, you haven't implemented your proposal about Shield Guy yet. You know, I love everything related to enemies, so I'd be thrilled if you wouldn't mind letting me implement that proposal. I get to do what I love, and you save yourself the time of implementing it. What do you think? We both benefit. Oh, and by the way, the name of the Shy Guy will be Barrel Guy because of his relation to barrels. Sorbetti (talk) 16:58, December 2, 2025 (EST)

Sure, go ahead. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 08:50, December 3, 2025 (EST)

Leaving

I am officially quitting. I will not be doing anymore editing here. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 08:14, December 28, 2025 (EST)

Wait why are you leaving? Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 17:15, December 29, 2025 (EST)

Because I am sick and tired of the way I have been treated on this wiki. For instance, Salmancer claims I needed to "coordinate" with him to do a proposal about splitting Scrap from Sticker but I launched proposals on the talk pages for Prohibited Command and Magic Wand after Salmancer brought up the issues and there were certainly no coordination things there.
