DO you play Mario games?

Hi
Why can't we ask for sysop powers? Also I have tagged some pages for deletion so will you please kindly delete it? Thx


 * Because I'm sure a lot of people want to be a sysop, and the administration has better things to do than field all those requests. Being a good user gets you there; it's not something that you ask for and then receive. Also the images will be taken care of at some point; you don't need to notify me about them. -- 16:21, 28 February 2011 (EST)


 * My apologies sir. I am just wondering why we can't ask. Even if I want to be one. I wont ask so I will work for it even if it will take like 2-3 years...


 * Why don't we have many sysops on here even if users such as BabyLuigiOnFire are good-faith users? That doesn't make much sense to me >-<. When will my sysop privilige time come?


 * You're looking at it backwards. We don't make all good users sysops. Instead, when we decide to add a sysop, we choose a good user. Becoming a sysop is not something you should be concerned about at all. Your time may never come because you're already thinking about it too much. -- 20:58, 4 March 2011 (EST)


 * OK then I'll wait for the time....

The server is so slow!
Why the site was closed for like a hour? Did you update something on the site?


 * Computer trouble; Stay in touch next time! officialmariowiki+emergency at Google email system. -- 14:51, 1 March 2011 (EST)

Fix

 * Can you fix the Template:Affiliates plz. Thx

Template:Block

 * I have done a mistake on this wiki seeing that I have put block templates all over the wiki on many banned users. Do you mind helping out doing it seeing that I am not a sysop.
 * It's alright. We have the situation under control. - 16:01, 5 March 2011 (EST)
 * What do you mean? You don't seem to be doing anything at all :/.
 * We have assumed bot status to not flood the Recent Changes with our edits. Click on "show bot edits" if you want to be wiser. - 16:14, 5 March 2011 (EST)

 * OK... you don't have it anymore or you don't play it
 * Don't play it. -- 14:55, 6 March 2011 (EST)

Sitenotice
Can we bring it back? -- 15:21, 6 March 2011 (EST)


 * It would only be visible to logged-in users. -- 21:56, 6 March 2011 (EST)


 * That's fine. Could be useful for editing tips and policy changes.-- 23:43, 6 March 2011 (EST)


 * What does it do?

00:29, 7 March 2011 (EST)


 * It's just a message atop every page, and sysops use it to keep the community informed. -- 00:32, 7 March 2011 (EST)


 * Alright, sounds good to me! :)

00:38, 7 March 2011 (EST)

P.S. - But if you don't mind me asking, what does he mean by "bring it back?"

00:54, 7 March 2011 (EST)


 * It was a feature originally, visible to users and guests, but was disabled due to guest caching. We still cache guest stuff; that's why it can be brought back for those logged-in. -- 08:47, 7 March 2011 (EST)

I see 14:42, 7 March 2011 (EST)

"BREAKING: SiteNotice 2.0 will exist!"...what? When can we start using it for other stuff?-- 10:36, 8 March 2011 (EST)


 * Whenever. -- 12:55, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Yo Steve
Cool new sitenotice feature. I would love to have that as a feature. What Mario games do you own? I can't list them all cuz there is too many.


 * All the big releases beginning with the SNES. -- 08:47, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Hi

 * Do you mind fixing the user Double Redirects please seeing that I am no sysop? Thanks...
 * BTW can you change my username? Thanks...


 * No; don't come to me for such mundane tasks. -- 16:19, 7 March 2011 (EST)


 * Not even change my username? See here for info.

You've already used your two renames; see you in 2012. -- 16:28, 7 March 2011 (EST)


 * What do you mean 2012?


 * Only two name changes per year. Next time, think before you waste them. 16:31, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Sitenotice suggestion
You can put "Did you know?" facts, "Mario & Nintendo News", latest proposals, featured articles, etc. with template. Also, to make it easier, link a template from MediaWiki:Sitenotice (like ).
 * I hope the content will be more specific than main page stuff or random stuff. Can you explain how editing a template is easier than editing a MediaWiki page? I don't follow. -- 12:55, 8 March 2011 (EST)
 * MediaWiki: Only sysops can edit it. Template: You can choose who can edit it. I've suggested the random stuff because there's barely anything to put in the sitenotice.


 * It would be a sysop-only thing anyway, and I think it was used decently before we got rid of it. Every now and then sysops will ask for its return, so they must have something to say. I just don't want it to become the random fun fact at the top of the page. -- 14:21, 8 March 2011 (EST)
