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!

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)

 * I played Diamond when it came out but not anymore. -- 14:53, 6 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)

"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)

Porplemontage.com
What is that website about?


 * My wiki network. -- 20:41, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

Spam filter on Pikmin Fanon
Can you unblock all of the "blacklisted" words on Pikmin Fanon? It turns out some of them are on valid pages (such as your talk page) and they are inaccessible now. Also, we are trying a different method now, so it won't affect the spam that much. Volatile Dweevil


 * Yeah. -- 23:42, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
