Vandal
has vandalized/spammed the Power Star page, but he also made a few good edits before, so i'm not sure what to do. 12:14, 20 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Banned him, since it is a new account and it involved adding inappropriate content to the article. -- 12:19, 20 August 2018 (EDT)

Some file i uploaded and some opinions about characters
Hey man! Ikr! I hate Wendy too! Oh! You may look at a picture i've found that i uploaded. From the Kodansha manga. A Zeus Guy training Baby Mario with punching a Needlenose, a Cactus Jack and some Mildes. -- 10:20, 8 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Hi, nice image! I always like seeing images that could be hard to find getting uploaded. -- 10:23, 8 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I also have a custom picture. What do you think? I used a personal screenshot i made, and edited it. -- 10:36, 8 September 2018 (EDT) Yoshi personal win.png. Note that the Bandit's expression is accurately based on Toad's expression here.]]
 * Nice job, I think it looks good. I like how you based the Bandit's expressions off of Toad's. -- 10:42, 8 September 2018 (EDT)

help
My image SMB Pinball-Front screen-litup.jpg is flipped but when i uploded it it was flipped. How do I de-flip it? And how do i make it smaller?Thanks!
 * Sorry I didn't notice this right away, but I'm glad to see that it was fixed. -- 17:14, 9 September 2018 (EDT)

Friend request
Oh, hey! You can add me as a friend if you want! If i did, then you could too! -- 12:18, 11 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Sure! Do you have a userbox that I can use for my list? -- 12:24, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

for the code. -- 12:28, 11 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks! I added it to my userpage. -- 12:31, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

Huffin Puffin
I've just started a proposal. You could vote if you want. -- 11:19, 13 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks, I’ll look at it when I have more time. Thanks for sending me a message, but just so you know, per policy, you shouldn’t usually contact people just to let them know about a proposal, unless they are involved in it some way. -- 11:54, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

About Thwomp
Hum... Maybe we should merge if the Japanese name is the same? ドッスン Dossun, also romanized as Dosun. -- 10:48, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Do you agree with my opinion? -- 10:55, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I agree. It seems like most of the other names are the same as well. -- 11:05, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

Congrats!
You already know I supported your promotion, but congrats on the step up! And thanks for helping out on the Lylat and Starfy Wikis as well ;) 21:07, 16 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks, again! I love helping out the wikis! -- 21:10, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Yes, congratulations! You've done so much exemplary work for this wiki alone, I thought you were a bit overdue for a promotion. 21:47, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Oh, congratulations! Just got back. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:12, 16 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Congratulations for the promotion! Very well-deserved. - 00:08, 17 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks, everyone! -- 06:35, 17 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Congratulations TheFlameChomp! You've reached the Admin rank! -- 06:56, 17 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks! :) -- 06:57, 17 September 2018 (EDT)
 * You're welcome! :D -- 06:58, 17 September 2018 (EDT)


 * Everyone's already said it all, but congratulations!
 * 18:50, 18 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks! -- 18:51, 18 September 2018 (EDT)

Files
I see you are deleting some files Results May Vary told to delete because of uploading new ones. Speaking of files, how do you like my second personal image? It represents the particular way i draw Bandits. -- 07:04, 21 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Yes, I like how different variants/actions of Bandits are shown on there, and how you draw the expressions. -- 07:07, 21 September 2018 (EDT)

My least favorite character
Like you, my least favorite character is Wendy O. Koopa. (though your is Pink Gold Peach and Wendy is only one of your least favorite characters) I want to put that Wendy is my least favorite character on my userbox. Could you give me a coding please? Thanks! -- 09:42, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
 * The coding used for the least favorite character userbox on Userboxes is . This can be edited to include a picture of Wendy, along with her name. -- 10:01, 22 September 2018 (EDT)

Check out it, i even specified the reason. -- 10:11, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Nice! If you want to add an image, you can replace the "fan-0" part of the code with a file link. -- 10:14, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
 * An I.P. was vandalizing? I was about to cancel his edit, when you did. Then, i was about to report him, but you blocked him before i did. Hmmm... Patroller or Admin isn't an easy work, you know? -- 10:52, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
 * It can definitely be hard work at times, especially due to the fact that admins are often targeted by admins, though I enjoy working as an admin for the wiki. Specific admin tools such as rollback make reverting vandal edits easier. -- 10:56, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Did you give some condoleances for Walkazo? I did recently. What happened to her account though? -- 11:10, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I believe I did somewhere, as it is terrible that her career was cut short by what happened. I believe her account was locked and can no longer be used, and it will keep its admin ranks. -- 11:23, 22 September 2018 (EDT)

...
Hey, i forgot to read the policy before welcoming a newbie, could you delete his talk page User talk:MarcycinTheViceKingBoo? Thanks! I completely forgot to read the policy before i check the template page. Is it ok? -- 11:11, 26 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Done! It shouldn’t be a problem. -- 11:16, 26 September 2018 (EDT)

Unused accounts
What happens to accounts when they are being older and unused, and instead create another one to contribute? -- 08:27, 29 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Someone created the account Dedenne, and then created Pokemanguy, which are both related to Pokemon. Could you check both their I.P. to see if it's the same person please? -- 08:36, 29 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I'm going to ask to Mario jc while you are offline. Ok? -- 08:41, 29 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Sorry I wasn’t online, but yes, like Mario jc said, there doesn’t seem to be a connection and the Pokémon references are likely just a coincidence. -- 09:04, 29 September 2018 (EDT)

Beanie
Have you any idea if the bean enemies from Yoshi's New Island are actually called Beanies or not? Sometimes, the boss's name isn't directly refering to the species, such as Snifberg, despite the enemy is called Ice Snifit. This would make Beanie an unsourced name. Have you any source aside from the Big Beanie boss's name?
 * Sorry, but I don’t have the game or any guides that could possibly tell me a source. Someone who might have guides could help you, or you could ask, since he created the article. While a boss having a name that isn’t related to the species doesn’t automatically mean it isn’t possible for other enemies, it is probably still a good idea to try to find a source. -- 12:01, 29 September 2018 (EDT)

Dizzy Dandies
Yeah, sometimes i get fooled by Dizzy Dandies when i'm not really looking at them. Speaking of it, i have a new custom picture. Since you like em, i'll show you. So, what do you think? Take a close up. You can tell me your opinion about it. -- 13:03, 3 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I think it's good! I like how you use other resources to base parts off of, such as using the Bandit expression for the Dizzy Dandy. -- 13:05, 3 October 2018 (EDT)

help
Hello I accidentally uploaded https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Luigis_mansion_remake_Bogmire.PNG as I did not know that there was already a image for similar artwork on the wiki, may you please delete it? I do not know how to delete the image. Thank youDoomhiker
 * You can mark images for deletion by adding to the file. However, is this the similar artwork you are referring to? If so, the one you uploaded could probably stay as well, as it comes without a background, and also has slight color differences. -- 12:47, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

Gangplank Galleon Lyrics
Mario jc is dismissing and removing the lyrics we posted for Gangplank Galleon: he's stating that the song has no English lyrics and that it is pure gibberish. What do you make of this? How should we proceed? Pikazilla (talk) 10:21, 9 October 2018 (EDT)


 * Since is a bureaucrat, you should follow his instructions and try to find a source that shows that those are the actual words. I believed I could here some words in there when I listened to it yesterday, which is why I didn’t remove the lyrics when you added them, though it is very difficult to make out specific words, and it very possibly could just be gibberish. -- 10:28, 9 October 2018 (EDT)


 * I honestly don't know why this 'it could be gibberish' mentality even exists when you can just hear the song to confirm the lyrics. I will admit that finding an official source of the lyrics is difficult, but that does not mean Nintendo won't release those lyrics in the future, especially once the game releases. Once that source gets posted, the lyrics should be posted. We can wait until then, but we shouldn't dismiss the lyrics once confirmed. Pikazilla (talk) 16:57, 9 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Just by searching "Gangplank Galleon lyrics" online, I get a few different versions of lyrics. I’ve also seen it stated that the lyrics are in Japanese, so at the moment, there is no way to confirm what it says without an official source. -- 17:05, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

Vandalism
An ip adresse username called ‎83.21.105.84 has been vandalizing the WarioWare (series) page with false information, by adding the game wario ware silver and bronze, a game that does not exist, on said page. The info under the wario ware silver and bronze section is just a copy-and paste of the game and wario section, and the reference the the user as given is a link to a website announcing the game game and wario in 2013, not an e3 2019 announcement for wario ware silver and bronze like the user is claiming it to be. Should I remove or wait?Doomhiker Edit: never mind, the vandal has been stopped. He already blocked him before you asked him to do so. -- 08:45, 14 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Also, i've been afk. TheFlameChomp, i do report vandals, and asking for deleting revisions, but is that all to do before getting promoted to be a Patroller? I can't revert directly, and can't block vandals. -- 08:48, 14 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Fighting vandalism is definitely one of the requirements to become a patroller, though there are a few other things that are required, listed here. -- 08:55, 14 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I think i have enough to become patroller and fighting vandalism on my own. -- 09:01, 14 October 2018 (EDT)

Deletions
Hi, would you mind deleting Featured Articles/Unfeature/A/Waluigi as well? Thanks! 12:17, 15 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Done! -- 12:18, 15 October 2018 (EDT)

Just so you know
You missed Featured Articles/N1/Bike. 07:46, 24 October 2018 (EDT)

MarioWiki:roposals
Yeah, for Super Mario Encyclopedia i voted oppose because it's taking many conjectural names from the wiki. For the Giant Raven, my oppinion is that the Giant Raven is treated separately from Raphael and that even if Raphael and other bosses's Japanese names are just generic, they're all considered as characters in Tetris Attack (some of the developpers are from the original, some are from Nintendo, and some are from Nintendo of America) -- 12:15, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I am opposed to citing the Super Mario Encyclopedia as well, since the book is very messy with the names it uses. I don’t really have an opinion currently on the Giant Raven proposal at the moment, though. -- 12:17, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
 * You also have the choice to not vote at all. :P -- 03:08, 29 October 2018 (EDT)

Talk Page
From I do not like the content of my talk page, can I remove it and replace it with something else?
 * I am very sorry, but per policy, the only types of things that are allowed to be removed from talk pages are vandalism and flame. The contents of talk pages are allowed to be moved to an archive page using the method listed here, though that should not usually happen until there is much more content on the page. -- 16:51, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Container for trophies
Orange or blue? I'm assuming orange. Even though that's yellow/gold. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:48, 19 November 2018 (EST)
 * Yes, it was the Orange Cube. I couldn’t find the article, as I did believe it was gold, and I was struggling to find an article that linked to it. Thanks! -- 17:51, 19 November 2018 (EST)
 * I literally only found it because I was looking through the SSBB template and wondered what the "orange cube" link I saw was for. Didn't think it'd be what I was looking for XD Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:55, 19 November 2018 (EST)

Mariachi Guy
Should we leave the talk page, or delete it? Since it's a talk page of a deleted article, and there is a proposal that passed, what should we do? -- 11:33, 22 November 2018 (EST)
 * The talk page should be kept, since it has the proposal on it. All proposals are kept, since they are linked on the archive. -- 11:37, 22 November 2018 (EST)

MK8 Shy Guy Models
I have just posted the Mario Kart 8 Shy Guy model yesterday, and I was wondering if you and this wiki can help with the other Shy Guys. I need someone to get around the Zip texture stuff for the other colors, like the Pink and the Black Shy Guys. Here is the link for the Shy Guy model I posted:. --Hamshamcart (talk) 11:00, 28 December 2018 (EST)
 * Sorry, but I can't really help with that, as the devices I use to edit the wiki have trouble uploading images. -- 11:49, 28 December 2018 (EST)

I understand. Please have someone else do all the other MK8 Shy Guy models in your steed. We need the Black and Pink Shy Guys.--Hamshamcart (talk) 12:08, 28 December 2018 (EST)

Question about Sliding Catch
Hello, I was planning to move the page Sliding Catch to Super Dive if it was agreed that the page should be moved, as Super Dive is the move's most recent name and as it has appeared in two equally-popular games according to Naming ''If a subject's name has changed over time, the more commonly used modern name should be used as the title, rather than the historic name. For example, Princess Peach's original English name was "Princess Toadstool", however, she is usually called "Princess Peach" in recent games, so the article's title is "Princess Peach".'' meaning that Sliding Catch would qualify for a move to Super Dive if it was agreed upon that it should be moved. However Super Dive is already a redirect to Sliding Catch, which usually would not be a problem as you can move pages to a redirect if the page does not have a previous editing history, however, the Super Dive redirect has an edit history involving the redirect creation and a redirect move, thus meaning that Sliding Catch cannot be moved to Super Dive normally. Is there a way that Sliding Catch could still be moved to Super Dive normally, or would it require a different method? Thanks! 19:28, 3 January 2019 (EST)
 * It is able to be moved if the current Super Dive redirect is deleted. I can delete it now, unless you want to create a discussion about the move (which, I’m not sure is necessary, since the policy supports it). -- 19:48, 3 January 2019 (EST)
 * Personally, in this case, a discussion would not be needed due to it being a small article and the policy supporting the move, so it would be appreciated if the redirect page is deleted. Thanks for the reply! 19:51, 3 January 2019 (EST)
 * Done! -- 19:55, 3 January 2019 (EST)

Where can I find the prerequisites to be an administrator here?
Thanks, in advance. Mario1993 (talk) 16:58, 5 January 2019 (EST)Mario1993
 * These are the prerequisites to become an administrator. 17:01, 5 January 2019 (EST)

I don't know if this is a stupid question....
Are you guys associated with Nintendo actually? Or are you guys just a Wiki-fanbase? By fanbase I mean a place where fans can edit. Mario1993 (talk)Mario1993
 * We're just a fanbase, though I think I’ve heard of times where the wiki was acknowledged by Nintendo workers. -- 20:37, 8 January 2019 (EST)
 * But this Wiki is not associated with Nintendo? Nintendo doesn't endorse it? I was hoping to speak with an ACTUAL Nintendo employee. Know where I can contact them? Mario1993 (talk) 21:34, 8 January 2019 (EST)Mario1993
 * Unfortunately, the wiki is not directly associated with Nintendo and I am not aware of anywhere in the wiki community where an actual Nintendo employee can be contacted. Sorry if this is not of any help. -- 21:43, 8 January 2019 (EST)
 * It's okay. Thanks for your help buddy ;) Mario1993 (talk) 21:50, 8 January 2019 (EST)Mario1993

Wow...
I can't believe you've made almost 31,000 edits during your two years on the MarioWiki! How are you able to squeeze your edits in despite having lots of schoolwork to do? Mari0fan100 (talk) 13:32, 13 January 2019 (EST)
 * Thanks! I just tend to to finish work quickly, allowing for me to have time to do other stuff, such as edit the wiki. However, it has been slightly more difficult recently, which is why spaces in between my edits have increased. -- 13:34, 13 January 2019 (EST)

And Another Wow...
What makes you a unique admin is the fact that you're the only admin who joined the MarioWiki after Walkazo's death. Plus, I can now see evidence that even admins can slip up sometimes. Mari0fan100 (talk) 14:31, 27 January 2019 (EST)
 * Admins definitely do make mistakes at times. I’m sure I’ve made many during my time as an admin. -- 14:34, 27 January 2019 (EST)

My spade article should be branched to all SMB3 Articles
I got the message that you removed my "Spade" article. That is ok, because I actually want the Spade section to be moved or branched to the SMB3 articles. Ok? Thanks! -SWPlaysMC SWPlaysMC (talk) 09:55, 1 February 2019 (EST)
 * It was deleted for being a stub article, but if you want to branch it out or create an article, please add as much content to it as possible. -- 10:13, 1 February 2019 (EST)

Bobo, Funfun, and Zekisu artwork
I see you deleted the artwork for 3 of the Black Sugar Pirates' commanders. The "ripped from an image on tumblr" I meant by was the Bom Bom Comics adaptation for Wario Land. (https://66.media.tumblr.com/c1632c3a0c7db6a27f7fbeff91b3324a/tumblr_pkx1kbasad1x9zgtro1_1280.png) If you want to restore the artwork files you deleted, that's fine. If you don't want to, that's fine too.--Hamshamcart (talk) 10:38, 1 February 2019 (EST)

All pages hide redirects
What happened to that option? Wariopig (talk) 13:49, 2 February 2019 (EST) Wariopig
 * The wiki was recently updated, so I’m guessing that was a feature that wasn’t carried over. According to, it is disabled in the mode that is used by the wiki, unfortunately. -- 13:52, 2 February 2019 (EST)

Unprotect
Hi, would you mind unprotecting Green Fire? Its protection is left over from persistent vandalism throughout 2016, and since it's been more than two years now, I figured it might as well be unprotected again. 07:57, 5 February 2019 (EST)
 * Unprotected it, since it has been awhile since it was targeted. -- 08:07, 5 February 2019 (EST)

Change nickname
Hi, could you change my nickname from "Sonic98" to "Alternis"?--Sonic98 (talk) 09:36, 6 February 2019 (EST)
 * I’m not a bureaucrat, so I don’t have the ability to rename users. If you put your request on Changing username, a bureaucrat will be able to see it and change your username. -- 11:46, 6 February 2019 (EST)

General Question
Hello TheFlameChomp,

i am wondering about the fact, that i am not allowed to create my own userpage (german: "Benutzerseite"). What is the reason for that?

Greetings, Hydro 15:18, 23 February 2019 (EST)
 * In order to create a user page you must be autoconfirmed by making at least five edits and having your account for at least four days. 10:06, 8 February  2019 (EST)
 * I have fulfilled the conditions now, but i am still not able to create it. Hydro 15:18, 23 February 2019 (EST)
 * It appears you have had your account for over four days, so I am not sure why you would be prevented from creating it. -- 15:04, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * It seems like Porplemontage has changed the values so it now takes one week of having an account and making seven edits to be autoconfirmed instead. 15:10, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * Forgot to ask, but may you change the sentence "Some rights gained upon being autoconfirmed at the end of the four day waiting period include:" to "Some rights gained upon being autoconfirmed at the end of the seven day waiting period include:" on the Autoconfirmed users page to reflect this change? Thanks! 15:18, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * Fixed that. 15:55, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * Although I fullfilled every condition now, it still does not work! Hydro 15:18, 23 February 2019 (EST)
 * You only filled the edit requirement once you added the above comment, and your account was made on 15:21, 7 February 2019 (EST), so you will have to wait to when it is exactly a week from then to be able to create your user page. 5:58, 17 February 2019 (EST)
 * Thank you! Hydro 15:18, 23 February 2019 (EST)

RE: Super Mario Maker 2
Whoops, my bad. Apologies for those edits, then. -- 18:52, 13 February 2019 (EST)

"Glitch Pages are Always Semi-Protected"
Are glitch pages always semi-protected so anonymous users don't vandalize said pages, or is it because those pages are subject to falsification? Mari0fan100 (talk) 14:04, 17 February 2019 (EST)
 * It was a result of this proposal, and it seems to be a mixture of both. -- 16:52, 17 February 2019 (EST)
 * Ok. That makes sense. Mari0fan100 (talk) 17:06, 17 February 2019 (EST)

Request
Hello, with Mama Luigi just being featured, may you please update the section of Maintenance/Main Page page to add Mama Luigi under Assist Trophy on the Main Page Rotation list due to articles that recently got featured taking precedence on the list? Thanks! 18:16, 19 February 2019 (EST)
 * Done, thanks! That part of the page is actually a transcluded template. -- 18:20, 19 February 2019 (EST)

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario sprites
Can I complain about some TTYD and SPM sprites and how to improve them? -- Mr Yporolsa (talk) 18:46, 21 February 2019 (EST)
 * If there is an issue with any sprites, you can definitely bring it up or try to fix it. -- 11:24, 21 February 2019 (EST)

I have problem with Koopas. I fixed their beaks, but I can't remove white color near their shells -- Mr Yporolsa (talk) 22:08, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * I’m not able to upload images easily on the device I use, but if you need something fixed, you can put it on the image’s talk pages.-- 15:26, 22 February 2019 (EST)

Remove Protection Request
I just saw that L151 semi-protected the Super Mario Sunshine page for an indefinite period of time, but it's been a year since sockpuppets of Bobbywall03 have been edit warring on that page, and no one seems to be vandalizing it. Do you think you can unprotect that page? Mari0fan100 (talk) 10:50, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * To be honest, I’m not completely sure if it should be unprotected yet, so I’ll see if the other admins feel it can be unprotected.-- 11:33, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * For now, at least, it is best that it stays protected. If a page is protected indefinitely fo s9mething, it should usually stay that way for a long time. -- 11:34, 23 February 2019 (EST)

Glossary
This page should be admin-only protected, as it is considered a help, policy, and writing guideline page. 20:13, March 23, 2019 (EDT)
