MarioWiki talk:Administrators

Maybe more about Patrollers? I  am   Confused  22:05, 8 May 2007 (EDT)


 * We do have our own page here. Great Gonzo

I thought this was a general page about all admins. It seems to be more about sysops. Why not name it MarioWiki:Sysops? I  am   Confused  22:15, 8 May 2007 (EDT) "Administrators are users on the Super Mario Wiki who have sysop rights." Not patrollers. 16:47, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

can you guys fix my page it is toattally messed up!so can you help me

Ummm... you should really go ask on MarioWiki talk: FAQ. 21:19, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

That doesn't say ANYTHING about how to even become an administrator. the only reason I went on that page was for that.


 * FAQ. -- 11:41, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

[Clears throat to try to get a Sysop job]Yes,how do I become one of the Mariowiki:Sysops?I think i could be good at being one![i try not to space alot]
 * No offense, but you're lacking quite a lot for becoming a sysop. Most of all, main space edits. Plus: Don't ask for becoming one. See here for our criteria. 18:41, 24 September 2009 (EDT)

Uploading images
Hi i want to upload a image of fire mini toad, as requested, but I'm not allowed. should I sent it to someone?


 * Hm... You could probably upload it on a webspace host and then post the URL here. - 08:22, 22 December 2009 (EST)
 * Here it is Fire mini toad . I'm not sure if his jacket is right cause it's hard to see on the little ds screen
 * Ok, I uploaded the image here and put it in the article here. - 08:48, 22 December 2009 (EST)
 * thnx. But it is no official artwork so maybe we should call it "image of a fire mini toad"

Images Needing Deleting
There are duplicates of images I previously uploaded. is his and is mine. and is mine. Note that I uploaded the images before he did. And does anyone know where I can contact a admin/moderator.  Pikmin  1254 
 * I'll take care of it in a moment. - 00:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, in the first case, I decided to keep your version because it was already compressed. In the second case however, I decided to keep the other version, because it was a png, and pngs have higher quality than jpgs. The duplicate images have been deleted. - 00:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks.  Pikmin  1254 

A question from Kraken
Do we delete user pages?


 * Um, yes. Sysops can delete pages.

Now THAT'S scary.

Image Deleting
I want to point out that the statement saying that deleted images can't be restored is false. You actually can restore deleted images. 17:40, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

please
May I please be a sysop I actually had a dream about becoming a sysop anyway please accept I have a pretty clean record and i dont do bad stuff.

I am no enemy
Please help me, I am a blocked user who has been trying to get help somehow in one way about me being blocked. My real username is, "BalloonBoolicious9090" or so it used to be. I know I am not allowed here, or to edit pages. But let me tell you this: I've heard from my emails I've been blocked for trolling and being a sockpuppet, using a username called, "Unknown9999" and it also has my IP address. But that user, was not me. People thought it was me, but it is actually some person that hacked into my account somehow, I think but I'm not sure. I know I wouldn't commit those foul actions. I am actually a nice guy. Would a nice guy like me put up with foul fights? Last year, I've helped this wiki, then I decided to relax. Then when I came back, that's when I found this crisis. So please, tell me what can I do to save myself. I am in deep need of attention for help. --User Talk:Note9090
 * We have sent you one final email. Your claims of being hacked hold no water whatsoever, and you will not be unblocked. Please do not sockpuppet again, because you are only further reinforcing our decision to ban you for breaking wiki rules. Stop wasting your time trying to badger us into unblocking you, and move on. - 23:34, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

Active or Inactive
I know have this Special:ListUsers/sysop, but can we have another list stating which are active and inactive? The Awesome  08:54, 28 December 2012 (EST)

My Userpage
When I go on my userpage I was gonna create it but it said I do not have the permission to create this page please help. Pokebub (talk) 01:50, 3 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Ya need to make two more edits. See Autoconfirmed users.

What I can do
I am posting here because the link from the edit page told me to contact the people on this page. I don't have much Mario knowledge but am happy to fix links, clean up phrasing, standardize punctuation, and other edits that require no specialized knowledge, and I think that's still a valid contribution. If you must use a CAPTCHA, please do the standard skewed picture of text. It feels not only a bit trying but also somewhat exclusionary requiring that editors answer fanclub questions.
 * Answering the question should be as hard as a simple Google search, but you're obviously too good for that. GBAToad (talk) 06:35, 10 November 2013 (EST)

I have a quick question...
What is a "sockpuppet"?

ToadBoy1999


 * A sockpuppet is an extra account created by someone who already has an account. Usually, the sockpuppet account is made to avoid a block, "start fresh" after the first account is given a warning or some other punishment (again, including blocks), or simply to stir up trouble by vandalizing. If a user forgets their password and has to make a new account, the new account isn't a "sockpuppet", but the user should contact an administrator to let them know what happened and get the old, unusable account blocked, since only one account is allowed per person. Siblings should also alert admins right away and/or make it clear on their user or talk pages that they're different people so that they're not mistaken for sockpuppets. - 15:55, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
