Something wrong on the Forums
Today I got a message from someone on the forums and in the message box under the logo it says My Messages [1] and I replied to it already, it keeps saying I have a new message and there is none. The My Messages [1] won't ever change. I don't know what is wrong, can you help me?


 * Log out, clear your cookies, and log back in. Check your messages a few times and let me know if it's still an issue. -- 13:38, 17 August 2011 (EDT)


 * OK thanks, I will try it.
 * It didn't change at all when I did that.

Dynamic Page Lists
They are gone. Now since you've deleted (or was it because or MediaWiki uppdate?) some articles, including MarioWiki pages are now left with "Invalid tag extension name: dpl". Examples: Super Mario World (television series), Personal Check/Personal Images. I hope you'll reinstall it.


 * It wasn't working after the update and was a little too heavy on the database. Let's see how we do without it. -- 10:05, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
 * So, is there any hope that it will return? I'm asking, because Help:DPL is linked from most of the talk pages from welcome template, as well as being mentioned on Help:Contents.


 * I've removed those links. I'd really love for us to work around not having it so we don't need to add it again. -- 11:17, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Also broken stuff: Changing username, Pipe Plaza. Link that needs to be deleted: Rules. Also, the Help:DPL needs to be either deleted or marked as "doesn't work anymore".

Thumbnails
It seems the thumbnail for some of the large images (ex: and one of the revision of ) does not display correctly. Mind investigating that? --Glowsquid 13:40, 20 August 2011 (EDT)


 * I decided to revert back to using the MediaWiki default maximum image area for creating thumbnails: 12.5 million pixels or about 3500x3500. Reasoning is that this puts less of a strain on the server, and it's not like we're using images anywhere near this size on the actual article pages. I'll help resize and reupload. -- 14:33, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I was wondering why the 4000x4000 pixel images that I uploaded two months back were having thumbnail errors today. At least I now know why that is.  17:32, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Question
How did you get this whole (awesome) Porplemontage Enterprises idea? I'm curious. WikiofSmash&quot;The EarthBounder&quot; 20:02, 20 August 2011 (EDT)


 * Well, I started picking up wikis with the formation of NIWA and wikis jumping ship from Wikia (as you know). "Porplemontage Enterprises" is just what I decided to call my collection of wikis since I wanted something like a portfolio to throw up on my porplemontage.com website. -- 20:32, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

Please, don't erase the article named Wario enemies! I know that there exist a category about this, but I want to make an article! -- Super Radio 07:47, 21 January 2012 (EST)

Minor question.
Did you updated the wiki? Looks like the parameter cellspacing of the tables isn't working (unfortunately, that's the only error I've seen for now) and the galleries are no longer centered... do we have to center the galleries manually? Another question: why the collapsible boxes of my userpage doen't work? well, they do work only when I log in but not if I log out... is it posible to fix that?


 * I don't know why cellspacing wouldn't be working now; maybe you could link me to an example on that? The galleries would need the center tag to be centered, see Gallery:Super Mario Galaxy 2 vs. Gallery:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. I fixed your collapsible stuff; it was a matter of clearing the cache for that page. -- 01:47, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Oh, wait... I think I see the problem of the cellspacing. It seems that the thumbnail thing of the images inside the tables show them like that. No problem, I'll fix it myself and as for the collapsible tables in my userpage, thanks.

Forum Update
Do you know how long it will be until the forum is working again?


 * Maybe an hour. -- 04:23, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

Ok thanks

The wikis you run are having downtime more often. Why is this? Dr.Wario &#39;&#39;In a big country, dreams leave you.&#39;&#39; 18:04, 11 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Combination of a couple factors. A modification I made kept getting reset, but that shouldn't happen any more. I picked a bad day to do something, and I may want some more RAM. -- 18:40, 11 September 2011 (EDT)

Userpage help
Hi, I'm Pichi-Hime6, I just became Autoconfirmed yesterday, and I would like some help with my userpage. I have no idea how to edit it, upload a picture, create a userebox tower, ect. I've tried looking on all the Help pages for that stuff, but I just can't seem to be able to do anything. --That's Bohogos 16:18, 25 September 2011 (EDT)


 * I couldn't explain a given topic better than the help pages already do. Click on your username, add text, and save. View the source of other userpages for an idea of how to do stuff like userbox towers. The file upload link is in the toolbox on the sidebar, and it's pretty self-explanatory: browse for a file and hit upload. -- 21:39, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

Oh, I finally got my page up. it looks pretty good, actually! Thanks for the tip on viewing the source that was a big help. Now all I need to do is figure out how to make my sig look really cool......... --That&#39;s Bohogos 20:06, 10 October 2011 (EDT)

In unrelated news, can't the admins just ban KKR's IP? Or is he using different ones? He's incredibly annoying now. I'm sure everyone is fed up of seeing Recent Changes flooded by yet another KKR sock. One last question: Is he Plumber690 as well? I'm not sure. 12:27, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

Pop-up Issues
I've been noticing lately that whenever I access the Mario Wiki now, I end up getting a pop-up whenever I attempt to log on. Can you do something about that? 10:43, 16 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Most browsers have a pop-up blocker built-in. -- 16:19, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Change a name
I am retiring and giving up my account to my sister, and therefore I want to be renamed Nasta-Peacha.


 * This thing? -- 22:07, 18 October 2011 (EDT)

Personal images
Personal images needs to be renamed into Personal files (because of ogg being allowed on this wiki). I'll let you decide, but here's the list of the pages that uses this phase:
 * Template:Personal-image
 * Template:Personal-image-sig
 * Template:Personal-image-abandoned
 * Template:Personal-image-warning
 * Personal Images
 * [ Some pages from this list]


 * Or we could just say "No personal ogg files." This isn't exactly a priority of mine right now. -- 20:04, 20 October 2011 (EDT)

Wiki
Hey, I was wondering, how do you create a non-Wikia wiki and put it in the NIWA? I want to create a Yoshi Wiki.

Please answer.


 * You need to buy a domain name, acquire web hosting, and install MediaWiki. Google search those three things and you'll have more than enough info to get started. Once your wiki has been around for a while with a healthy set of editors, you may apply to NIWA. Since this wiki covers Yoshi, I will have the final say on whether you may join. So you might want to get on my good side. -- 22:02, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

Maintenance Issue

 * Sorry to bother you, but there's a problem that I found while checking the list of double redirects. I saw that the 8-bit Club redirects to 8 bits, which redirects to 8 Bits, but for some reason, whenever I try to fix up the 8-bit Club redirect, the wiki acts like that article doesn't exist.  08:07, 27 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Should be good now. -- 11:33, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

Preview thumbnail images
Hello Steve. Is there a way to turn off seeing the preview thumbnail images that appear in the image page? For instance, whenever I go into an image page like, I can see a set of preview images at the bottom. Is there any way I can disable them? -- 05:35, 30 October 2011 (EDT)


 * The file history thumbnails? -- 05:40, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes. -- 05:45, 30 October 2011 (EDT)


 * The best you could do is hide them with CSS such as

table.filehistory img { display: none; } -- 05:49, 30 October 2011 (EDT)


 * No way to make the option user-friendly? It would be useful to those who don't want to waste bandwidth due to bandwidth caps. Anyway, gonna plug this thing. -- 05:52, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

The hidden image will probably still be downloaded; the CSS is just hiding it. I don't think those little thumbs are killing anyone bandwidth-wise. -- 06:05, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
 * How can you tell Steve? -- 06:08, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

They are about 20 KB each on that page. I hope you don't accidentally click on the 5.44MB image, since it's equivalent to 278 of those 20KB thumbnails. You visit more image pages than anyone else. It's not something a general user would need. We have a small percentage of users who visit a ton of image pages time a small percentage of users who even have to worry about bandwidth times the fact that the thumbs are small to begin with. And you better use them to compare images since if you click on an image you're throwing any bandwidth savings from hiding the thumbnails out the window. -- 06:21, 30 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Probably not so - since I'm not an admin anymore, I can't really delete those duplicate images (assuming that most of them are duplicates). Seriously, 278 thumbnails? With the stuff you said, you observe all that data with Google Analytics? -- 06:53, 30 October 2011 (EDT)


 * No, just division. -- 14:37, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

Double Redirect (again)

 * I found another double redirect, which requires Sysop assistance. This time, it's User:Chris Helper/Story Corner/The 3DS Uproar/Story, which redirects to User:Chris Helper/Story Corner/The 3DS Uproar/, which redirects to User:Chris Helper/The 3DS Uproar.  08:02, 1 November 2011 (EDT)


 * Ok, because it's in the userspace. -- 11:25, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

Is this useful? Mario &amp; Luigi


 * It's useful if we italicize page titles, but last I checked we don't do that. -- 21:35, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

Broken Redirects

 * I recently ran into a good deal of redirects that are broken, but they require Sysop assistance to fix. The broken redirects seem to be related to the double redirect issue that I told you about earlier; the one relating to Chris Helper's user page sub-pages.  07:53, 2 November 2011 (EDT)


 * It's because you can't edit his userspace. -- 10:20, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
 * I'm aware of that, which is why I asked you to handle that request. 08:17, 3 November 2011 (EDT)


 * Next time just say it's in the userspace. Calling it a "double redirect issue" makes it sound like an actual problem. It's expected that you can't edit his userspace. -- 11:16, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Template:Foreignname
Hello Porplemontage. Nintendo of Europe confirmed Mario Kart 7 will get a Dutch, Portuguese and Russian translation. These three languages need to be put in the Template:Foreignname. Dutch and Portuguese are already in the template, but Russian isn't. Because you protected the page it's impossible for me to edit it (I'm a patroller). Could you please add Russian to the template? Could you also change the order, so Portuguese comes behind Italian and Russian behind Portuguese? Thank you.


 * I took care of it. --Glowsquid 12:28, 4 November 2011 (EDT)


 * Thanks guys. -- 16:13, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Sonic the Hedgehog characters external links
Hi, I noticed that all of the Sonic characters' pages have external links to SonicRetro. The Sonic Wikia has more information on these subjects, so I think we should change the link to that website. Is that okay?

-- 14:57, 7 November 2011 (EST)


 * Honestly, the first word of an article shouldn't link to any other wiki. You can put both wikis in an External Links section at the bottom of the page. -- 15:04, 7 November 2011 (EST)

Okay, thanks for the info.

-- 19:38, 10 November 2011 (EST)

One orphaned page un-orphaned, about a gazillion to go
Hey, I added a link to the Mushroom Kingdom Tribune on Fawful's page, so now it's un-orphaned, but the orphaned pages list still says its orphaned. Can you change that? Thanks

-- 19:37, 10 November 2011 (EST)


 * Those lists update once a day. -- 20:09, 10 November 2011 (EST)

Personal Check
Hey Steve, why shows the Personal Check not longer images and signatures? 13:21, 11 November 2011 (EST)


 * We've done away with the tool which made those automated checks possible. -- 05:17, 12 November 2011 (EST)

Okay, I'll just tell you. UN-STUBBED!
Hey Steve. I think I un-stubbed Charmy Bee and maybe Lemmy's Castle. Could you see if they are un-stubbed, and if they are remove the Stub-warning. Thanks

-- 20:51, 14 November 2011 (EST)


 * Well Donaldthescotishtwin removed it on Charmy Bee and Lemmy's Castle is still a stub. Not sure what you mean by Stub-warning. -- 20:58, 14 November 2011 (EST)

Okay, thanks. and by Stub-warning I mean whatever you put up there that says "this page is a stub, you can help the Mario Wiki by expanding it"

-- 21:15, 14 November 2011 (EST)

Apple Touch
Recently I read this page, tested this wiki with it and saw it didn't works. May this be funny for us? (Image tips: this and this) 13:02, 24 November 2011 (EST)


 * I like the idea and it looks good. -- 13:21, 24 November 2011 (EST)


 * I saw you made work of it, looks great! Thanks! 08:21, 25 November 2011 (EST)

Hey, I'm Tails777. I have a question. Have you ever considered making a Facebook page for this site?


 * We have one right here. -- 02:00, 25 November 2011 (EST)

Pokémon Trainer Red

 * I recently spotted some double redirects, which involve the user, Pokémon Trainer Red; User:Mario Bros.! redirects to User:Mario & Luigi, which redirects to User:Pokémon Trainer Red. If you have the time, can you fix up the redirects?  10:08, 2 December 2011 (EST)
 * Oops, looks like I forgot to read your message after the last userspace double redirect problem. For that I apologize.  Anyway, this is just another usersapce issue.  10:11, 2 December 2011 (EST)

Other Users

 * I spotted some more userspace related problems while checking the "Wiki Maintenance". If you have the time, can you fix them up?  07:55, 7 December 2011 (EST)

Cream's page
Okay, so I wanted to give Cream an infobox like everyone else has. You know, like Full Name: Cream the Rabbit First Appearance: Sonic Advanced 2 (GBA) And that kind of stuff, but she has two pics on her page and I don't know where I'm supposed to put the one I'm not using as her Infobox image. I don't want to remove either of them, but do I really need to make a gallery for only 2 pics? And if not, where do I put the other one?

-- 15:41, 8 December 2011 (EST)


 * Neither image is great. It'd be nice to get a close-up shot which isn't blurry. The main text of the article is short; it's fine if there's only one image. -- 17:21, 8 December 2011 (EST)

Okay, I'll work on getting a better image for her. I'll probably upload some official artwork from like SonicRetro or something. Thanks for the info.

Procetion of user talk page.

 * Yeah.. -- 12:30, 23 December 2011 (EST)

Mario Kart Wii
Do you have it? I think I versed you in it today. I versed a Mii named Steve playing as Mario who looks like he came from New Jersey on the globe. I was playing as Toad and using my cousin's profile, Bobo. Either this is a big coincidence or it's a small world.


 * Sorry, I haven't played Mario Kart Wii in a while. Funny coincidence! (If "I" won, then it was me :P) -- 12:30, 23 December 2011 (EST)

Wiki loading very slow
I've noticed the wiki's been loading slower than usual lately. Is there anything you can do about this?-- 17:42, 27 December 2011 (EST)


 * It's not slower! -- 17:57, 27 December 2011 (EST)

Sandbox problem
Something strange is going on in the edit history of the sandbox. As the oldest edit, there is an edit from Cobolt at 1 January 2002! And when you click on it there is the option for an even older edit which is in 2007! What is that? 10:07, 29 December 2011 (EST)


 * Looks like the edit date is corrupted. -- 12:54, 29 December 2011 (EST)

Question about the forums
I recently joined the forum and have a question about profanity. How do the Super Mario Boards handle swearing? Are there auto-censors?


 * Yep, profanities will be censored unless you decide to turn off the censor in your settings. -- 17:27, 20 January 2012 (EST)
 * The problem with auto-censors is that sometimes they censor even words that contain swear words.

Admin Discussion
Hey Porplemontage, the admins have been discussing something and we'd like you to weigh in. This is where the important part of the conversation starts. Thanks! - 19:31, 21 January 2012 (EST)

Hello Steve! We've never met before. Hi! I'm YoshiKong! I'm just wonderng, what is a Monobook? I did ask Phoenix, but he wasn't quite sure and he refered me to you.


 * Monobook is the skin used for this wiki. See also Monobook. -- 05:49, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Hey, Steve!
I have more than two problems with the auto-censors on the forums.

1. I can't find where to turn them off. 2. They won't let me talk about Cofagrigus, a Pokemon from the new game.

I checked the settings and nothing about the censor showed up. So how do I change the settings of the censors?


 * It's under Modify Profile -> Look and Layout. Talk to the admins about removing the wildcards and making a rule not to merge swear words. -- 21:48, 22 January 2012 (EST)

Wow
Wow, after 4 years I just realized you had all platforms (something I think a true gamer requires). You are REALLY admirable. Just a curious question, what game series do you most often play on The Playstation and Xbox? And how often?

I'd like to report
I'd like to report that user King K. Rool on the Rampage has blanked an article. I looked it up and that is a level 4 offense,. I already reverted his edit, but please block him.

 * Cool! I never thought I would meet the guy who created this wiki! You must have worked hard to start it out and create the user creation and the first few articles and especially the MarioWiki Bot. You are AMAZING!M&amp;L+No Moar Picklez=Wurld War III=&#91;&#91;Image:SMG YellowLuma.jpg&#124;45px&#93;&#93;&#124; 21:00, 8 February 2012 (EST)
 * Since you are Porplemontage and really the creatoor of the wiki, wanna be friends? Here's my userbox:

I hope you like it! Thanks! 09:20, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Archive

 * Hey, Steve? Can you archive my talk page and protect it? And make it so that there's a new talk page that's blank and put the archive template there, please. I'm still new, and I messed up uploading an image, and I really think that if I'm that bad I could end up deleting my userspace, so that's whi I'm asking you. Oh, and just Archive it under the title "Archive 1" as I may archive again so I need them numbered. Thanks in advance!SuperPickle Visit the Pickle Shop on my userspace or else! 22:36, 12 February 2012 (EST)
 * Never mind, I accidentally asked someone else (you had been gone) so I don't need your help anymore. Sorry for bothering you and all!SuperPickle Visit the Pickle Shop on my userspace or else! 20:12, 13 February 2012 (EST)
 * Can you block this for me so nobody can edit it? Thanks!SuperPickle Visit the Pickle Shop on my userspace or else! 21:17, 18 February 2012 (EST)

Thumbnail images in lists...part 2.
Hi Steve/Porplemontage, remembered I asked you the last time if there was a way to disable viewing/seeing thumbnail images whenever I go into file pages, and you provided me coding for my monobook? I really appreciated that nod, leaving me to do my productivity faster (without having my browser lagging from the brief image loading...it's minor, but very irritating when I try working very fast); now I'm asking you again. Recently, it seems you guys have updated your wiki, and when I went to Special:ListFiles, there are thumbnail images - is there any code that would disable viewing thumbnail images from those special pages? It hampers my work just as the same as the previous one I told you. The main difference is that you have to scroll down longer to scan for stuff, even with Ctrl+F. Thanks. -- 01:08, 19 February 2012 (EST)

.TablePager_col_thumb img { display: none; } Try that. -- 03:10, 19 February 2012 (EST)


 * Cool, it works! But hmm, it appears it doesn't outright remove the images at all, it just hides it. Checking through Google Chrone's developer tools, it appears I'm getting the data regardless if it is hidden away or not. Is there any way to truly stop it? -- 03:25, 19 February 2012 (EST)


 * Not that I know of. -- 03:26, 19 February 2012 (EST)


 * You sure? Well, alright. Thanks anyway for your help. By the way, would you mind providing me info on modifying monobooks or anything that has to do with skins (with a link per say)? I'm interested in tweaking around it for NintendoWiki. -- 03:31, 19 February 2012 (EST)


 * I don't have any links. The best thing you can do is inspect the page and play around with the CSS using those dev tools. That's all I did to get the name of that "TablePager_col_thumb" class. Then try-out the CSS in those tools and you can mess around without actually making any changes. -- 04:40, 19 February 2012 (EST)

CheckUser issue
When we try to check the IP addresses of recently blocked users, we get this error: Fatal error: Cannot access protected property Block::$mId in /home/mariowik/public_html/extensions/CheckUser/CheckUser_body.php on line 433. I was just wondering if you know what is going on and why, as none of us really do. Relevant discussion starts here.


 * Thanks; it should work now. -- 21:09, 3 March 2012 (EST)
 * Looks like it does. You're welcome, and thanks yourself.

Videogamerznet
Hello, I am Bullet, known as Starphoria on NIWA, Starfy Wiki Staff, and Icaruspedia and F-Zero Wiki Staff. I'd like to report that user for stalking. After I declined his request to help him with a site, because I was busy at the time, he proceeded to stalk me everywhere, and harass me. I ask kindly you ban this user. He has already gone to Icaruspedia, and I do not want him coming here as he is stalking me. --Bullet 18:47, 7 March 2012 (EST)


 * Users will be judged by their actions on the site. If he behaves inappropriately towards you or anyone else, it will be taken care of. -- 18:53, 7 March 2012 (EST)


 * Alrighty,. I'll keep an eye on him then. --Bullet 18:55, 7 March 2012 (EST)

Special:WebChat page.
If I'm not entirely incorrect here, you are the only one here who can actually edit Special pages, am I correct?

What I'm mainly asking you to do here is to update the Special:WebChat page because it has some outdated information pertaining to whom specific chats belong to.


 * Information that is incorrect
 * #paperchat isn't 's anymore, because owns it nowadays.
 * #userpedia 's founder is, not.
 * Last time I checked with ChanServ, is now the owner of #mwshroom.

I don't know about the other chats that are listed there, because I haven't looked at their access lists at all. 05:59, 12 March 2012 (EDT)


 * Here we go. -- 09:19, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
 * Ah. Thanks! Now I can make the relevant edits myself, so that you won't have to bother with it. 09:26, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

F-Zero Wiki
Apparently, this is the newest NIWA member. Would you mind adding it to the main page and/or to the NIWA template? Thanks.


 * I need a little 18px image for it. -- 16:56, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
 * Seems you took care of that (I would have uploaded something). Anyway, thanks!

Ads
When viewing the site on a tablet an advertisement pop-up opens on a background tab, and creates an annoying message on top of the screen, can you do something about that? Pop-ups in general are annoying, by the way. 16:57, 16 March 2012 (EDT)


 * Yeah, the pop-up is part of our current advertising strategy. Guests get one and then are free from it for 12 hours. I'm going to try something else without it, but the guaranteed way to avoid it would be to login on the tablet if that's an option for you. -- 18:35, 16 March 2012 (EDT)


 * Is an option, but I don't want to stay logged in (public home-tablet), so the next time I come here there is a new pop-up. :( 05:43, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Horrible!

 * Quick! Look at the Whittle article, STAT! I was looking at it and there is a lot of meaningless crap in it! SAVE THE ARTICLE BEFORE IT ENDS UP ON BJAODN!SuperPickle Visit the Pickle Shop on my userspace or else! 11:17, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Freakin' ads
Could you please block this user? He or she inserted an advertisiment ("buy pistachios") in the Characters article, which was instantly undoed. -- Super  Fa  mi  co  m™   64  02:57, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Jump (page)
When i go to that page, i want to edit the translates, i want to add dutch, i added it but if i publish it, you cant see it. Do you know what the problem is? MarioMan51


 * Dutch is Dut on the template. -- 10:01, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh, ok. Now i see. Thanks.

Support Language
If you could, can you support Serbian?


 * In ? -- 12:25, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

No, i mean here ---> http://www.mariowiki.com/Category:User_Languages


 * You can add  to . -- 16:39, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

I created and supported Serbian. It works. Thanks for the help! :)


 * Cool, good job! -- 15:09, 27 April 2012 (EDT)

aboutfile-reminder
Hello Porple! We have all noticed that the syntax automatically appears when uploading files, and I think it's a great idea! But not all users format the template correctly, and it ends up looking like (that upload was intentional, by the way). Users have to go through Recent Uploads to check for incorrectly used templates. I think we should create a template to remind users to use it correctly, and to teach them how to if they don't know already. I've created a draft at User:YoshiKong/aboutfile-reminder. Just tell me what you think of it, and maybe it can become an official notice...?


 * Sounds good to me; perhaps make the template a little less-wordy. -- 12:25, 26 April 2012 (EDT)


 * Less wordy? Okay! But I will keep everything that is absolutely necessary. Thanks :)



Friend request
plz?

Undeleting issues
Hey Porplemontage, you probably already noticed this (or read this post about it), but deleted page histories don't seem to be accessible anymore: yesterday, anything deleted before the 19th was empty, and today the histories don't even seem to remain after 24 hours. It's a bit alarming... - 21:00, 28 April 2012 (EDT)


 * It's ok, I deleted that stuff. -- 21:37, 28 April 2012 (EDT)

It seems I (and indeed, other admins) have the same problem as Walkazo. While I can view/undelete anything deleted in the past 24 hours just fine (such as this page), it seems anything that has been deleted longer than that (like this) can't be viewed or restored - the prompt say there's no page history and clicking "view/restore" doesn't do anything. Is that an intentional change? --Glowsquid 22:24, 28 April 2012 (EDT)


 * Yes, just a cleanse of deleted stuff. -- 22:26, 28 April 2012 (EDT)

Sockpuppet
is a sockpuppet of. Please block him.

Wii Friend code
Can you add my Wii friendcode and add me as Armin. My Wii friendcode = 7488 1759 3811 4685. I'll add yours. And, do you have a 3DS? If you have, can i have your 3DS friendcode then?


 * Sorry, I don't have my Wii with me where I'm living now. I'll add my 3DS code to my userpage at some point. -- 19:50, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

:)
thanks 4 the awesome wiki! how about joining mine? http://whiskerpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Whiskerpedia_Wiki


 * Nice cats, but I don't have much to add. -- 19:50, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

you could add pages (I dont care if they're stubs) about things i haven't made pages on yet for example you could make an article about Manx cats.


 * Also,(awkwardly),c we don't have a 'Cat' page.

Deletion
Hey, Porplemontage my brother originally had an account called Spiny thrown' lakitu we thought because of a computer crash Spiny thrown' lakitu was erased, to find out we were only spelling it wrong to log on. It has been abandoned for months, and I just figured that out on Cinco De Mayo. We would ask if you would erase Spiny thrown' lakitu because it is only an empty talk page and we made a new account for him. Sincerely,


 * We don't actually delete accounts, so it will have to remain abandoned. You can put up this explanation on the talk page if you'd like. -- 20:36, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

MarioFanonNewsNetwork
Could you make the Super Mario Fanon News Network? The account associated with Mario Fanon Wiki has been suspended.


 * No, sorry. -- 12:30, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

MediaWiki:Chat
Because you created it, do you know what that page does?


 * It's not used anymore. -- 13:10, 5 May 2012 (EDT)


 * What was it used for?


 * The title of our old chat page. -- 13:37, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

My chats
How to make a user a successor?


 * What? -- 13:38, 9 May 2012 (EDT)

It's no need anymore.

Uh...
You have created two MediaWiki pages that are only one word. May I ask what they do?


 * Are you the MediaWiki page police? Names for the patroller usergroup. -- 13:38, 9 May 2012 (EDT)


 * I was just wondering about it because MediaWiki pages are usually fairly important.

MarioWiki:Redirect
There are more than a few redirects I had marked for deletion under the original guidelines for the redirect page, but now that you've requested a rewrite for it, should the deletion tags be removed? GreenDisaster 16:03, 19 May 2012 (EDT)


 * Yes, redirects don't need to be deleted unless they are completely nonsensical. -- 16:13, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

Also, would spellings mistakes be acceptable redirects, like Jungle Rythym... for Jungle Rhythm...? GreenDisaster 17:42, 19 May 2012 (EDT)


 * Yeah, don't worry about them for now. There will be guidelines for when it's ok to create new spelling mistake redirects, but once one exists there's almost no point in deleting it. -- 17:55, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

Problem with the forum
I can't post, simple as that. What's going on? Wait, it's fixed.


 * Yeah I goofed for a second there. -- 23:33, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

File upload problem
Hey Steve, I'm trying to upload a better version of File:Mario-Kart-7-Box-Art.jpg, but it doesn't seem to be working. I was thinking it wasn't working because of the amount of revisions it has. Is this the case?--


 * Don't know of a limit on those. -- 18:10, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

Um...
Yea, could you unblock Meeper? He's been calling me every day for a month now, so I made him promise to NEVER troll again.


 * Don't talk to me; I didn't block him. -- 17:47, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

Its about the shroom
Hey should I edit the shroom without telling anyone or should I get your or someone elses permission or if im not aloud to do it at all? Marioexpert3


 * Well it depends what you're editing on there. There's a system for becoming a writer and not everyone will be able to do it; anything else I'd ask about on the page's talk page. -- 21:41, 9 June 2012 (EDT)

sorry my family is going on vacation that day and the rest of the week sorry

Unban
I know its wrong to sockpuppet, but I am toolsotrade trying to contact Admins to unblock me because I forgot to put my email on my account Toolsotrade. My email is Toolsotrademail@yahoo.com. I am sorry for any bad edits and rules broken. I am trying to clear myself(Toolsotrade) that I(my toolsotrade account) am not a sokpuppet.

MarioWiki:Thank You!
It has been six years since anyone has edited that MarioWiki page, excluding Phoenix when he fixed a spelling error. Do you know of anyone else that could be added to the list? GreenDisaster 11:03, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

That page... has been sunsetted. -- 18:22, 20 June 2012 (EDT)

Request
Is there a request to be an admin or crat? Or is you're talk the request? -- 11:51, 3 July 2012 (EDT)
 * Requesting to be an Admin or a crat can get you banned. You'll need to do alot of constructive edits, among other things, to become an admin. Neptune99 13:36, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

Hi. I suggest to upgrade this wiki to the latest version. -- 08:57, 5 July 2012 (EDT)


 * Don't bother me with such a suggestion again. -- 13:19, 5 July 2012 (EDT)


 * ...sorry, didn't want to. -- 13:21, 5 July 2012 (EDT)

I'd like to report
I'd like to report user SmartieMaxx on the grounds of editing out factual knowledge found on Charles Martinet's page regarding voice work taken straight from the Voice Over page on his official website on the grounds of nothing more than his own opinion. This edit has since been reversed. You'll find the user has quite the list of warnings and foul play behind him. Thank you. Kyubihanyou 13:55, 6 July 2012 (EDT)

Personal Images
What is the reason for maximum 4 Personal Images? -- 17:06, 7 July 2012 (EDT)


 * Because our primary focus is the Mario encyclopedia and we don't want personal images to overshadow the project. -- 17:26, 7 July 2012 (EDT)

Oh, okay. -- 17:46, 7 July 2012 (EDT)

Good Day, people of the U.S. Mario Wiki
I came in name of the Italian and German MarioWikis. We would like to propose you an Interwiki partnership with other wikis.

The Italian one, in which I am an administrator, is just a newborn wiki. It started many years ago in the Wikia server, but it was so full of vandals, stubs and bull***t that we decided to move to another server, sadly canceling all our 3000 articles. The old wiki still exists, but it's unactive. Today we only have 320 articles, but we're growing.

Waiting for an answer, --What&#39;s my name? (talk) 01:46, 26 July 2012 (EDT)


 * Hello and welcome (although I see you've been contributing for a couple years). I'd like some input from the community before I make a decision on this, so please create a proposal. Thanks! -- 22:38, 28 July 2012 (EDT)


 * I'm going away for a few days, so I'll not be here when the proposal expires. If you could please wait until wednesday, it'll be wonderful. --What&#39;s my name? (talk) 03:21, 6 August 2012 (EDT)

Question!
Hey, I'm NinjaYoshi! I was wondering if I can in-fact upload an image of another person to put on my userpage? Is it allowed? It's photoshopped so it's not just a straight photo... Thanks!  Ninja Yoshi 


 * A public figure, yes. Otherwise you need their permission. -- 19:53, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
