Let's just say you should revert your edits before you go at the end of the day. I'm not very fond of 1337 talk. ;) Wayoshi

LOL, that's cool, HK. I intended to have the red cap before (not to be Mayoshi), but nice waste of your time. :P Wayoshi 16:23, 1 August 2006 (EDT) And oh yes, I hope you can return when school starts again and it won't be so strict as you're making it sound.

Give PeteyPiranha one more chance. It is quite annoying, I know, and I posted about what you meant by productivity. And to PeteyPiranha: a three to seven day ban is coming if you don't watch out. Wayoshi 18:37, 31 July 2006 (EDT)
 * PeteyPiranha just made the article he requested on the Enemies talk page, that's an improvement...I don't feel comfortable talking about a possible ban anymore. Either in emails or IM. Wayoshi 19:16, 31 July 2006 (EDT)
 * In that case, you can only email me about the sysop issues, and I'll rarely respond. What's the problem with contributing to a Wiki, though? Wayoshi 23:29, 31 July 2006 (EDT)


 * I have activated my email here and even have it listed. Email me your email, which you have hidden, and we can talk privately. No counterpart Wiki identities. Wayoshi 19:23, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

Reply: Yes!
And now our talk pages will prosper again... Glad to be back. On the weekend I'll be working heavily on The 'Shroom, if not before. Let's get back to work on those! Wayoshi 16:46, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

Don't worry about it. PeteyPiranha should have checked first for the article. Wayoshi 14:24, 25 July 2006 (EDT)

Does unpatrolled mean not looked at or not edited? Wayoshi

Rollback Feature
How do you use the "reverted changes of ______, changed back to last version by ________"? Wayoshi 19:09, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

Well, I go to the contributions of the user who made the edit you want to revert, and rollback there. There's probably an easier way, and I've just missed it. H K

Whoops! I double-reverted Sightings. Thanks for the info, I bet that is the only way. Wayoshi 20:42, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

Reply: Sysophood
You're one too, you know. You should thank Porplemontage :) Wayoshi 16:22, 24 July 2006 (EDT) I did. I did. When I congratulated you, it was before he made me a sysop. H K

Help Me
It is complete! Look at the Recent Changes to see links to the pages. Wayoshi 12:02, 24 July 2006 (EDT)
 * OK... stop thaking me now. No problem. :P

Vacation
I'll be going on vacation starting Monday and will be back in about a week. It's up to you and Wayoshi to maintain the quality of this wiki while I'm gone. I listed you as a souce for people to turn to for help on my User Page. Thanks for all your good work and good luck with the Pipe Plaza! --Son of Suns
 * Problem, as I just replied...I'll be gone Tuesday to Monday as well...so HK, we'll be counting on you! Wayoshi 00:05, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

I'v always wanted to be a souce

Community Portal
If you would like to make a community portal I can help you get started, but I would like you to try to maintain it, if you could. If people like the idea we'll keep it. However, if people don't use it or need it, the community portal will probably disappear like those New pages we saw the other day. -- Son of Suns
 * Toad House is a good name. Maybe Pipe Plaza (that's one I thought of). You should probably name it: whatever.  --Son of Suns
 * You seem to know more about community portals than me, so I'll let you create the name and we can discuss other names if needed. Good luck on this big project. -- Son of Suns
 * Pipe Plaza or Toad House or whatever name suits you. We can always change it later. Be decisive! =) --Son of Suns

Alone?
How are you alone yet? Are you noticing my contributions? :P I'll be around for another 20 minutes if you want to start something, maybe creating articles for the rooms? Reply on my talk page if you're interested. :) Wayoshi 15:25, 23 July 2006 (EDT)
 * Also, if you need to talk constantly, we can IM, if you have a MSN, YIM, or AIM account. 15:28, 23 July 2006 (EDT)

Sorry, no IMing. H K
 * OK, good luck! :) Wayoshi

Hex Colors
Sorry for the wait.

Hex colors represent the red, green, and blue values, each letter being either 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, or F, going from dark to light. So 000000 = black, 999999 = gray, and FFFFFF = white. 000099 will produce a shade of blue (last two numbers), while 990000 will produce a shade of red. In Mediawiki, one number can represent two if they are the same: #4400FF = #40F. If you are using a complicated hex color, such as #195353, #2B8329, or any pair that doesn't match, Mediawiki will also accept the full version. There are 16,777,216 hex color combinations (16 different varieties of digits/letters and 6 of them, or 166), which is quite a bit. Try googling "Hex Color" for generators and lists of colors, or play around with a picture program. Wayoshi
 * 1) RRGGBB / #RGB

Reply: Toad Template
Yes! I'll start on Dryites at the bottom, you start on Major Toads, then you start at the top of Minor Toads, me at the bottom of minor toads. Wayoshi

...Other way around it is. Wayoshi
 * Nice job! I'm going to edit the template for nicer colors. Wayoshi 16:43, 21 July 2006 (EDT)

Template
I changed your new template (and even added it to some of my articles). How does it look? --Son of Suns 14:57, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

???
What do you mean by: "Sorry to seem like a bug on my birthday, but would you consider me a relative newcomer. Honestly." --Son of Suns 14:35, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Well, to make a template, type "Template: Whatever" in the search box. A screen will say that it does not exist and you can make it. Whatever you put in the edit box is what will appear on the screen when you place the template in the article. For a few examples, go to the main page and click the word "articles". Then, instead of (Main), switch the articles to "Templates" to see a variety of templates. You could even copy one of those than modify it to make your new template. --Son of Suns 14:42, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Big Eight

 * Mario
 * Luigi
 * Peach
 * Toad
 * Wario
 * Donkey Kong
 * Bowser
 * Yoshi

I know the Big 8 are underdeveloped, but there is a lot of stuff missing from our articles, such as history (both in-universe and out), abilities and traits, and game appearances. Also, a lot of the Big 8 articles were copy directly from Wikipedia. They should be written anew from a Marioverse persepective.

You could also pick a game you have noticed we have very little information on (but is a game you own) and research everything in the game to enlighten us.

Or go to random pages and add everything you know, or even research the first page that pops up and complete the article the best that you can.

Another project that needs to be worked on is seperating the Yoshi page to a Yoshi (character) page (for the main Green Yoshi) and a Yoshi (species) page, for information about the Yoshis as a race, not one character. --Son of Suns 13:42, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Luigi's Mansion
Have you played Luigi's Mansion? If so, I could use some help expanding the page. Meet me at its talk page if that sounds good to you. :) Wayoshi 14:35, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Ideas
Here are a few ideas:
 * Pick a major character (one of the Big Eight perhaps), and make major contributions to the article, making it very detailed and very resourceful. Some of the minor Mario character articles I have written, such as Bowser Jr., are much longer than the major players! This should not be.
 * Pick a favorite game and slowly play though it, taking notes as you go. Then transfer your notes to the appropriate articles (or even create new articles).
 * Go through the most wanted list or recent change list, creating new articles.
 * More Miyamoto???
 * Most of the game articles need a lot of work. Good info can be found at Wikipedia.
 * I dunno! Anything you can think of will probably be fine. --Son of Suns 13:34, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Picross
I usually use Wikipedia for game titles as a resourse. I know you're not a big fan of Wikipedians, but the site is a good source for info. Don't copy and paste the article though. I hate that. Put the info in your own words. --Son of Suns 11:47, 19 July 2006 (EDT)
