Proposal
...THANK YOU! (Also, i had a dream of going To College)

Hi there
I'm planning on changing my username. But the name I want is taken be some users who haven't been active for years. Can you do something?-- 16:10, 27 June 2014 (EDT)


 * I'd rather not: the rule reads that names only get transferred "provided you have a good reason for wanting the name (i.e. it's your established nickname on the forums)", which doesn't seem to be the case here, and it's not like the old accounts were trolls or accounts that never edited, so I would prefer to leave them alone. - Walkazo 16:20, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for blocking the IP
Thanks for blocking this IP address ‎96.2.42.160, I did message Turboo about it on his talk page.
 * Just doin' mah job. - Walkazo 22:16, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Can you please remove its two revisions 22:59, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Mmmmm ok. - Walkazo 23:04, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Out of Master Hand
Hi, can you do something about User:PrincessJojora? That user is putting false comments with other users sigs, as seen here in the latest comment. Could you please do something? - 22:05, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 * She's already been given a Reminder for it; I would've given her a Warning but ah well, too late now: one more misstep and then she'll get a Warning. - Walkazo 22:22, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Hey, if she(?) learns and does something productive, it'll be a win both ways. By the way, is it only you guys who can issue warnings? - 22:38, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Well, I'm guessing it's a she based on the "princess" part, but I could be wrong (most people guess wrong about my name, lol). Anyway, nope, anyone can issue warnings: if you want, check out Warning Policy for more information about the procedure and what sort of behaviours warrant warnings and such. - Walkazo 22:41, 30 June 2014 (EDT)

Shadow Swingstress
Does that page even need to exist? I mean, it's about a generic person with no affliction or role in th game whatsoever. I've almost beat the game, and I haven't seen them once. Can someone just delete it or should I make a TPP? - 01:39, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
 * If an NPC's named, it gets a page regardless of how minor it is: see Minor NPCs. The more articles the merrier, an the more complete our coverage is, the better. - Walkazo 02:05, 2 July 2014 (EDT)

PrincessJoroa or whatever that users name is.
Should she be blocked yet? She's made made a sockpuppet account, made minor vandalism, pretended to be another user, uploaded useless images and created a fan made page. - 01:16, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
 * There's no reason to be rude with a header like that: it's not a hard name to remember, even if the user does make 99% useless edits. The other account claims to be sibling, not a sock; what minor vandalism are you talking about? Anyway, I've blocked PrincessJojora's userpage since asking her to ease off doesn't work, and have issues a last warning in general since she really is running out of leniency. - Walkazo 01:34, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
 * I wasn't trying to be rude or forceful, I simply have trouble remembering her username. Mainly the "Jorjoa" part. But I was sort of wondering how much slack a user can be given. I understand the sibling part, that sounds reasonable. - 02:04, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
 * If they're not doing damage, just wasting time and space, then they'll get more slack than if they were messing around with mainspace or harassing people to the point of disruption. But it's not an exact science at all; a lot of it's played by ear, and it can even depend on who gets there first, tbh. I.e. maybe I'd give someone a Warning for doing stupid stuff, but if someone else gives them a Reminder before I get there, then I can't do anything and they get off easy (or the other way around, with someone else giving a stronger warning than I would've). There's flexibility, which is good when it comes to managing big, diverse communities like this: there's guidelines and whatnot, but ultimately, there's still the allowance to do things case-by-case, which is a necessity sometimes. - Walkazo 11:52, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

Block the IP
Since you blocked Lhs970317, can you also block his IP address too ( 50.117.34.115), who also makes spam edits? 22:13, 7 August 2014 (EDT)
 * If he tried to edit anonymously from the same IP he was using for his account, it'll get autoblocked. They don't show up in the regular blocks logs, just Special:BlockList. The autoblocks are only 24 hours each, but will happen each time the user tried to edit with that IP, afaik, so it works just as well as manually blocking the IP. - Walkazo 22:51, 7 August 2014 (EDT)

NSMBU is a Mario Baseball game?!

 * Removed by the administrator.

Please stop putting false information on the Toad page. I read through edits to see who did that. I don't know if I should put this here, I know little, I will try reading rules, please ask Steve if I don't get it. I don't know, this is not a joke reminder, I saw the history because the edit before this one didn't have NSMBU in the Mario Baseball series section, but the one you did had it in there. I am not sure for the last time. I am not doing it as vandalism or trolling. It is false, and I have NSMBU but no MB games. There is no baseball in NSMBU. Again, this is not vandalism/trolling. I go on Poptropica so if I am blocked I can be on Poptropica for that block? Reply on User talk:Unshy Guy. Unshy Guy 20:46, 18 August 2014 (EDT)
 * P. S.: Can I still be on Poptropica.


 * Lolwut, you can't give me a Reminder. Even ignoring the fact that I'm an admin, that was just an honest, one-time, two-month-old mistake and doesn't deserve an official warning at all. I was practically reorganizing the entire History portion of that page: there were sections being rewritten and flying around everywhere, and it's not unsurprising that one got misplaced. I don't even know what the hell Poptropica is: do whatever you want there, just don't go throwing wildly inappropriate warnings around here. - Walkazo 22:47, 18 August 2014 (EDT)

Also, again, I will fix (not remove the edit by undoing it) the Toad page by putting NSMBU in the correct place. Unshy Guy

Rumors
I didn't copy and paste... I had the revision history right to the edit window. Oh, I wrongly clicked ENTER when writing a description, so most of what I writed was poofed. Hope you will have unsterstand it, I have tried to make it as much different I can.

user name
I know you are one of the ppl who change usernames and I requested a change on friday so why as noeone approved or rejected it? Green 6017 King Of The Slowpoke 23:11, 20 September 2014 (EDT)
 * I'll step in and say that be patient, the admins check that page and they'll decide at some point 23:13, 20 September 2014 (EDT)
 * Yeah, sorry, I try to check it daily but it got buried under a bunch of other stuff in my Watchlist and I missed it. It's done now. - Walkazo 13:03, 21 September 2014 (EDT)

Mario Fanon
Please make a Mario Fanon Wiki on the NIWA. There is a Pikmin fanon, time for Mario! Trainiax (talk) I want my name changed! Help out! 19:53, 2 October 2014 (EDT)
 * Our wiki's not really aiming to make any new fanon ones: if a Mario fanon wiki's made, it'd have to start out life on its own separate from us and then try to join NIWA. It's a fun idea, so maybe somebody someday will do just that! - Walkazo 20:01, 2 October 2014 (EDT)

RE:Undoing edits
Thanks! Never used that but next time a vandal does something like I'll do it! :)

Another thing about naming...
"The newest name will have priority over older names when mentioned in articles," as Naming says, but currently there's nothing about how Virtual Console is factored into this. Not that Virtual Console makes handheld enhanced ports as well as other remakes and such obselete, but it generally being Nintendo's preferred method of re-release for a while does end up making certain game versions obsure over time. As an example, since Super Mario Advance 4, Super Mario Bros. 3 has been released on Wii, 3DS & Wii U Virtual Consoles, whereas Super Mario Advance 3 has been favored for Virtual Console over Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. So in cases like that, since they are the most widely accessible re-releases for modern systems, maybe they should be considered for the naming update (ie. Goal Roulette, Ultimate Castle Challenge, Dark Land, ect.)? LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:47, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

Question
When is my next name change allowed?
 * The one you just got was your first, right? That means you can get another one whenever you want. But after that, you have to wait until at least the one year anniversary of your first rename to get a third one. - Walkazo 17:12, 16 October 2014 (EDT)
 * Oh okay, never knew that.
 * It's the first bullet point in the box at the top of Changing username... - Walkazo 17:18, 16 October 2014 (EDT)

I'm Kind of Scared
I want to correct grammar and maybe edit some things, but I'm scared. If I make a mistake, will I get banned? Or is that just for vandalism and being rude to other people? I just made this account, and I don't want to get banned. User:Madz the Penguin
 * No, you won't get banned for making editing mistakes. As long as you don't vandalize articles or troll people, you should be fine, but when in doubt, there's lots of policy pages you can refer to regarding whether specific things are okay or not. And even if you do inadvertently break rules, you'll be contacted on your talk page about it and given either an informal heads-up or an official warning: you have to do something really bad to get a block right off the bat. - Walkazo 18:29, 29 October 2014 (EDT)
