I am not done working in it, that's why it is incomplete.

Ok, I'll try to remember that

Naming
I have a question, is it possible to change your username?
 * See this page and read the instructions there.

Links
Hello, you can link the plural form of a link by using this coding:, rather than. Thanks! 22:51, May 20, 2019 (EDT)

Thank you! I apologize for the previous errors. ToxicOJ (talk) 22:56, May 20, 2019 (EDT)

Rosalina in the Observatory
Howdy! This article could potentially be helpful material to look at. I came across it while revising the game's article. It talks about "Rosalina in the Observatory" specifically. - Nintendo101 (talk) 21:04, June 25, 2023 (EDT)


 * Thanks! I'll look into it! ToxicOJ (talk) 21:19, June 25, 2023 (EDT)

RE: Delfino Plaza (theme) / Isle Delfino (theme) article title
There isn't really an established rule for musical themes, but the general rule in place is that we use the most recent English name. But since a theme can get new arrangements with titles sometimes specific to those arrangements or games, such titles wouldn't really be suitable for a page that's meant to be for the theme as a whole, so it's better to use the most recent English name for the original theme, and if one isn't available, use an arrangement's name that fits the overall theme best. 10:44, June 26, 2023 (EDT)


 * Ok sounds great. Thank you for the clarification! ToxicOJ (talk) 10:47, June 26, 2023 (EDT)


 * Forgot to mention, the type of source is also usually taken into account (e.g. in-game content is prioritised over soundtrack CDs). 10:51, June 26, 2023 (EDT)

Regarding the Mario appearances tables, don't give songs a name if it's not official. 09:16, June 27, 2023 (EDT)


 * Sorry about that! Thanks for the heads up! ToxicOJ (talk) 15:27, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

Despite how some of the soundtrack articles on the wiki appear, the English track titles are not official and were just translated from the original Japanese titles, since the soundtrack never released outside of Japan (many of those articles need work since they can mislead readers into thinking the soundtrack is in English when it's not; they're on my to-do list). Just be wary of which soundtracks were Japan-only and avoid using those translated titles; in these cases, the Japanese titles should be used (VGMdb has those), but if you don't know them, just leave them blank. 11:06, June 29, 2023 (EDT)

Deletion
If there's a page that needs to be deleted, just tag it with ; you don't need to post on the talk page. 23:50, July 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * Ok cool, thanks! ToxicOJ (talk) 23:51, July 14, 2023 (EDT)

RE: Mario Movie Soundtrack
Okay, that makes sense, I didn't realise all three NSMB themes were all together. 07:20, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

Map 1 World
You created Map 1 World. Do you plan to create Map 2 World, Map 3 World, etc.?? 99.157.99.148 07:48, July 20, 2023 (EDT)
 * Map 1 World is the Japanese title for the musical theme heard in Grass Land. It's commonly referred to as simply "Grass Land" in English, but that title has never been made official, so that's why the article has that name. I created a page for it since it's been included in 8 different games (not counting remakes and reissues) per this proposal. The themes from the other worlds in Super Mario Bros. 3 have not made enough reappearances to warrant creating articles for them. ToxicOJ (talk) 10:16, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Theme renditions
Reiterating my original deletion reasoning, the proposal actually says eight renditions across eight games, not eight game appearances alone, since this would encompass a lot of themes that have simply been reused throughout several games. Because of this, the theme articles you've made since Enemy Course (theme) (which were mostly reuses of the original theme and/or reused arrangements from past games, and only a few new renditions) don't meet the criteria, so they've been moved to subpages under your username (in case you want them for reference, as drafts etc.) and can be moved back if there are enough renditions. 06:31, August 18, 2023 (EDT)

 * I have it on my sandbox, but if you want that as a draft page for yourself too, I can restore the original and move that to your name as well. Sorry about this, I understand the effort that went into these. 08:57, August 18, 2023 (EDT)
 * That would be awesome if you could do that. And no worries about the deletions, I totally understand. You're just upholding the proposal that I misinterpreted, so that's on me. What is the process for creating a new proposal? Considering that the original proposal was decided unanimously, I imagine that there would probably be support for expanding the qualifying criteria for theme pages.

 * Proposals outlines the steps; in this case, you'd make your proposal under "Changes" on that page using the format shown under the rules. 09:14, August 18, 2023 (EDT)
