Baby Yoshis
You say the Yoshis in Yoshi's Woolly World are Baby Yoshis, but I don't think that's quite right. Can you provide a source for your info? If I'm proved wrong, I'll correct my mistakes. 19:46, 4 October 2016 (EDT)

Minor Edits
Hi there! Just a quick reminder (well, not an actual ), remember to check the box that says "This is a minor edit" for, well, minor edits. I'm talking about this edit. Thanks for reading and keep contributing! 22:17, 27 November 2016 (EST)

Optimizing PNGs
It's a good idea to optimize PNGs before uploading. Here's why. Not in trouble, just a recommendation based on your recent uploads for Hotel Mario. -- 23:37, 16 December 2016 (EST)

Moving template pages
Pardon me for maybe being ignorant on the matter, but have you gotten permission to move the template? Moving a template to a new page can break a lot of links, and it usually involves input from the staff before moving it. Additionally, if you haven't gotten permission, a may be issued, as you have made a major change without the approval of higher-ups. Not trying to sound nagging here, just letting you know. 13:48, 16 March 2017 (EDT)
 * I do not think it is correct to move to . We already have  for that.  is for articles that are poorly written and lacking detail. You should create proposals before making changes like that. -- 14:24, 16 March 2017 (EDT)

Learned you have moved the template without any discussion from the staff or other users. Please make some sort of discussion before enacting a major change next time. 14:22, 16 March 2017 (EDT)
 * I agree with this sort of change (like Bulbapedia), but for a change like this, you need to create a proposal and consider as many aspects of the change as possible. Here's some other templates that should be considered:, , , , , , , and other templates I may have missed. Half-baked ideas don't do so well compared to fully formed ideas. -- 15:19, 16 March 2017 (EDT)

Moving Contents
Be sure to check everywhere the article turned into a redirect links to (your redirect and article). Mostly, the namespace template will do the majority of the links, which will make the transition way easier. -- 18:26, 17 March 2017 (EDT)

Mario Kart 8 image
http://nintendonews.com/news/wii-u/diddy-kong-birdo-kamek-mario-kart-8/ Rumor: Diddy Kong, Birdo, Kamek Spotted In Mario Kart 8

The image is photoshopped. Diddy, Birdo, and Kamek are not in Mario Kart 8 and will not be, since Nintendo is focusing more on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that they aren't going to release anymore DLC for the original game. Please do not add the information again. 11:28, 11 April 2017 (EDT)

Template Pages
I'm not seeing any discussion about the creation of the tt and tt2 templates. You've been warned about this before, so please show me the discussions if I have missed them. Otherwise, the templates may be deleted for being created without approval. You can't just go making templates. 17:44, 14 May 2017 (EDT)
 * About the templates, they are useful, but I'm wondering if you created these from scratch or if you copied the code from somewhere else. Please respond within 7 days, or we're just going to delete them due to administrative oversight. 12:43, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

Also, did you discuss the creation of Template:Wikia with anyone? Additionally, I'm not sure copying a template from another wiki like you did with the templates mentioned above is allowed. -- 10:30, 16 May 2017 (EDT)

Templates
To add to Lindsay151's comment on https://www.mariowiki.com/Template_talk:Tt, there are many reasons why nicking a template from another wiki is not acceptable:

-Beyond the fact that simply lifting coding from another NIWA member wholesale looks bad, Bulbapedia's and Mariowiki's copyright clauses are different and thus, incompatible.

-Even if the two licenses were compatible, nearly all wiki licenses require borrowed content to be properly attributed to the original editors. Which you did not do.

-Even if there were no such clauses in the licenses, asking someone if they're fine with you borrowing their content is the moral and professional thingto do.

So yeah, please do not copy templates wholesale from other wikis, unless the licenses are compatible and you properly attribute the original coder, or ask for their permission. Doing otherwise is a serious ethical problem and could give the wiki real bad PR. I hope you realize that. --Glowsquid (talk) 11:01, 16 May 2017 (EDT)
 * I replied there to Template talk:Tt. I think the template idea is a good one, but a proposal needs to be created before proceeding, which many members have tried to tell you before and you ignored it, including myself. Also consider 's notes about copying. -- 14:59, 16 May 2017 (EDT)

I noticed your signature insersion  is inserting raw code instead of your actual signature. Here's Help:Signature to get that back to working based on policy. -- 15:08, 16 May 2017 (EDT)
