Image that's not related to Mario series!
File:Stephan.png

Is in User:Alex95.  Music Video 123  (talk) 10:54, 26 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Yes? Stephan is a character I created. We are allowed to have up to four personal images on the wiki, and the image of Stephan is one of mine. 10:58, 26 July 2017 (EDT)

Super Paper Mario edit
How is that Mario Party reference not a reference? I don't understand that. Please explain. 22:48, 26 July 2017 (EDT)
 * I know I've barged in a lot, but I'll go ahead and do it again. Given how obscure a reference that would be, it's more than likely a coincidence. Especially given he was brainwashed. 22:10, 26 July 2017 (CT)
 * There's also no evidence that it is referencing Mario Party. It's also very rare for the Paper Mario series to reference the Mario Party series, so this just seems like a stretch. 23:13, 26 July 2017 (EDT)

RE:DKCTF Image
So do all DKCTF screenshots that I have uploaded lately go against the policy? I used the Wii U Image Share service to take them, and they were originally jpg images. Should every single one be deleted and recaptured in jpg, or can they just be converted back to their original format? --
 * Okay, then... there's a grand total of about 350 pictures that were originally jpg (counted from when I started uploading in PNG format), so I'm gonna need a wee bit of help :)
 * I used Photoshop to simply save them as PNGs. After you reply to this message, I will start saving the existing images, then I will convert them back to JPEG in Photoshop, as I am not willing to download any other conversion software. Problem is, the size of the converted JPEG file is bigger than that of the raw JPEG file, and I have deleted almost all original images. I messed up so badly, sorry for being so stupid... Hold on, I discovered they were just lurking in the Recycle Bin. Not all of them, but most; I don't have the pictures from here anymore. As for level and Capsule Toy Machine-related images, they're up and about! --
 * Alright! We should get started, but how do we organize ourselves? Will you begin by deleting the PNGs one-by-one as you said and then I come and replace them with JPEGs, or vice-versa? --

Just to clarify policy (because I proposed it and it passed), the conversion did shouldn't have happened in the first place. It was so much effort with little payoff. The policy applies to both JPEGs that weren't uploaded to yet as well as already uploaded JPEGs being converted to PNG. It was meant to defend against uploads like File:Thwomp Wario's Woods.png, originally done by, but eventually redone by me. Another protection is fan transparency on JPEGs of artwork, because JPEGs are incapable of transparency. Editors should just wait to see if a lossless alternative turns up. This shouldn't be confused with recaptures, which I do and doesn't violate the policy in any way. A lot of confusion stems from what the difference is between conversion and replacing and how JPEG and PNG formats work. If that needs to be clarified, just ask me about it. Editing this wiki has gotten me ridiculously experienced with image formats. -- 16:39, 30 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Yes, yes, I know! My actions were driven by the thought that someone would apply PNG Monstrous on the images and that would make them more compact. I had forgotten the image policy, though I had read it beforehand. So my decision to convert the pictures to PNG after taking them was idiotic to put it shortly. Sorry for that. --

Italics
You claimed on an anon's talk page that italics shouldn't be used for Kodansha manga. Manual of Style contradicts this, saying print publications should be. This is done with Nintendo Power, so I don't see why Kodansha should be different. 12:08, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up! 01:11, 2 August 2017 (EDT)

File revisions
Hey, can you please delete the two other file revisions for File:SMB-Line-Mario-1UP.gif? I got the latest one to display correctly, but the two broken revisions are severely slowing down the file's load time. Thanks! 05:57, 4 August 2017 (EDT)

Watch
Hi, could you please move Watch to Watch (enemy) and also move Watch (Mario's Time Machine) to Watch? I'd do it myself, but I'm currently stuck with a mobile device and can't move the pages myself. Thanks! 10:54, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Watch, or even Watch (item), could be easily confused for a Stop Watch or a Timer. I do not support moving it. 10:57, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * In that case, it might be good to create a disambiguation page for that reason, maybe Watch (disambiguation)...?
 * It's also worth noting that articles with conjectural titles usually get identifiers over similarly-named nonconjectural articles; in this case, the Wario Land enemy should have an identifier. 12:20, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * The enemy's name is not conjectural, it's official from another language. 14:47, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Oh, well in that case, let's just move Watch (Mario's Time Machine) to Watch (item) and create a disambiguation page. 15:11, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I already covered that in my other post. 16:05, 8 August 2017 (EDT)

Is there any reason why the edit summaries on Super Mario Sunshine were hidden, but not the revisions themselves? Niiue (talk) 01:43, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

Re: Vandal
Alright, I just wasn't sure if it'd be a good idea to leave the page in the unique state it was in, especially since I wasn't sure when an admin would be on. Niiue (talk) 01:49, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

Proposal
Since I no longer agree with my reasoning behind it, can you cancel my proposal to delete Template:Goals? Judging by the rules on Proposals, I just missed my window of opportunity to do so myself. Niiue (talk) 05:30, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

Does moving an image to a new name change the image's resolution/quality in any way, because I moved File:Mkwii MooMeadows.jpg to File:MooMooMeadows MKWii.jpg and now it appears much blurrier on the course's page than it did before. 01:45, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

Coins
Your recent edits made me curious about something: is it Coin (with a capital C) or coin (with a lowercase c)? The Coin page uses the lowercase coin near-consistently, but I've seen articles use both. 22:27, 25 August 2017 (EDT)
 * That's very helpful and not at all frustrating for this encyclopedia of ours. Maybe it'd be worth making a proposal to set a standard? Something akin to the one we had for minigame/mini-game. 22:38, 25 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I should probably space out my proposals more, especially since I'm still working on the archive and the MTM articles, but I'm too used to striking while the iron is hot. The coin proposal's up here. 00:18, 26 August 2017 (EDT)

RE: Chef Bro

Images
Hi, so wants to upload images on the battle maps in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle he created himself, but also wants to know if there are any additional permissions required to upload them. I don't see anything about permissions in Image use policy, so if you could, could you please direct me to any policy that points out any permissions on self-published images? Thanks! 10:20, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

Proposal archive
With this recently passed proposal, old proposals should be updated to reflect the date that they were canceled or withdrawn. I can take care of the talk page proposals easy enough, but the main proposals are in protected archives. There isn't exactly a neat solution for taking care of this, especially since not every archive has a withdrawn proposal and the archive's history pages aren't always indicative of when the proposals were pulled (though time doesn't matter per the proposal, the date may still be off by a day). For the moment, I'm digging through the main proposal's history page and collecting dates (something I should have done before, I'm aware), but when everything is set for editing the archives, how should it be done? Would it be more appropriate to unprotect the necessary archives and let me edit them, or tell an admin what edits need to be done and let them do it? 22:28, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I'll be sure to do that once I actually make the list. 22:44, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
 * While I was digging through the archives, I came across a proposal that was canceled by its proposer but never added to the archive. Going by its date, it would fit into Archive 17 and require a lot of shuffling around to accommodate... supposing that it's archived, of course. Rule 12 says that "All proposals are archived," but at this point, should this one still be archived? 23:04, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

Finally finished the list! In short, the archives that need to be edited are #2, #4, and everything after #15 except for #25. I'll also try to slot in the proposals that weren't archived. 17:31, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I've finished! The necessary proposals have been updated, and I've slotted in the missing proposals I noticed (barring one; I'm waiting on some clarification from the original person who removed it). Thank you very much for your help! 17:56, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Pardon, but is there a reason that the archives between 10 and 19 aren't protected? 23:07, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Ghost Jam gave me the go-ahead to archive it, so #43 can be protected. 18:00, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

Locations in SMO
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give those locations articles, especially if they're named? The Llama's Temple's temple isn't merged with Angry Aztec, Hotel Delfino isn't merged with Sirena Beach, Behind the Waterfall isn't merged with Hazy Maze Cave, and I'm sure there are other examples. It seems likely that people would be searching specifically for them, so I don't see why we need to compress them into other articles. 21:40, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

Looking for advice
Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to make proposals more "visible" to users that doesn't involve canvassing, because the proposals I currently have up have rarely, if ever, been voted on so far. Any suggestions? 08:12, 18 September 2017 (EDT)

if I'm wrong, I'm WRONG. and if i'm right, i'm RIGHT.

Use old versions of images
Hello. Is there a way to use an old version of an image? Because I want one for my signature, thank you. 21:32, 14 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Just upload the older version as a, but remember, you have three already. -- 21:35, 14 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Thank you. Yes, I know. I'll replace the current image. 21:36, 14 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Or upload it as a, which won't count towards your three, but it must be square and scaled to 35px or less. 21:38, 14 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Oh, so it's going to be a signature image? It can then be tagged as, which fills up the signature slot. You are allowed four regular personal images and one signature image. I have seen people use more than one signature image, but then they will be using the slots available for regulars. 4:1 is the common ratio for personal:signature. As for , do you think the two templates and categories be merged? -- 21:43, 14 October 2017 (EDT)
 * I don't see a pressing need to merge the two. I think it's more convenient separate. 05:04, 15 October 2017 (EDT)

Image Use Policy Update
Image use policy isn't reflecting a policy change years ago. Would it be appropriate to make the necessary fix to the policy page? Maybe it can go before or after the current second bullet point? -- 02:02, 21 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Pretty good way to word it but I would make these slight tweaks:  If you think the wording can be even better than what I suggest, make the changes. The reason I suggest this is because sometimes artwork may have a non-white color background. I hope to not go into too much detail as  has a WIP about a complete overhaul of the image use policy. I'm only suggesting patchwork edits. -- 16:19, 21 October 2017 (EDT)

Thank you for fixing what I wrote, I just read and put what Koizumi said in the Famitsu article, the team wrote the song, and then Nintendo of America translated to English for everyone to understand it (it's the most spoken language without counting Chinese or Spanish), he uses the word "heart", like if it was in Japanese it would be difficult for the rest of the world to connect with the song. Oh and the Upbeat part it's just a simplification of what Koizumi also said about the music. He mentions other things I can also tell. Really good interview! --181.47.138.57 00:36, 26 October 2017 (EDT)


 * No problem. Sounds like an interesting read; I know some Japanese, but it'll take me ages to fully interpret what they're saying. Someone will have a translated version eventually. :P 01:08, 26 October 2017 (EDT)
 * We're on the same channel, I used Google to help me translate the text I couldn't fully understand, but really, they talk a lot of things, including that in Super Mario Sunshine originally there was going to be real humans, but the designs of those humans end up being too cartoony to actually call them humans, so they went with the cartoon style we all know. The director of SMO remembered that story and that's how we got the humans in NDC ("Let's do it this time lol" exact quote, I laugh my pants off with that particular sentence) --181.47.138.57 01:16, 26 October 2017 (EDT)

 * If you could, that would be nice. 21:35, 4 November 2017 (EDT)
 * Wait, the original images were already duplicates. One was a direct scan and the other was a countertop photo. Why is Howzit being penalized for that? 21:38, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

Admin Noticeboard
I have been using Admin noticeboard for reporting users where I am unsure what to do and let staff figure out the right course of action. Why?

Inappropriate File Movement
A user moved to  despite the former name making more sense for the game in question, and didn't fix the links to it on any page.
