Possible security hole question
I would usually post these types of questions on the Main Page, but for anti-troll reasons I'll post it here where there's somewhat less traffic. Earlier, I was messing around on the MarioWiki when I came upon this page. Obviously, I'm not testing it out, but it appears that could reset anyone's password (not just yourself), given that you know their username. Of course, the new password would be sent straight to the targeted user's email, but until the targeted user figures that out, they could potentially be locked out. Is this possible? --Andymii (talk) 23:02, 11 June 2015 (EDT)


 * Hmmm, strange. Testing it out on an old blocked sockpuppet, it spits back "There is no email address recorded for user "Noname1".", so maybe if there was an email, it'd work? idk, ask Porplemonage about it - he'll know better than me. - Walkazo 23:09, 11 June 2015 (EDT)

Okay, I'll do that. Thanks for your help. --Andymii (talk) 23:21, 11 June 2015 (EDT)

BTW, Steve responded. He said that the original password will still work. Ultimately, it just shows that you should never share your email address. (On a side note, 'Shroom email subscribers are able to see other subscriber's emails. This may or may not be an issue that you guys might want to look into.) --Andymii (talk) 15:44, 12 June 2015 (EDT)


 * That's good. The Shroom operates separately from the admins, but yeah, that does sound like a questionable practice and they should probably look into using the BCC function to avoid that, or something. Maybe let SMB know about your concerns. - Walkazo 15:57, 12 June 2015 (EDT)

Thanks. I'll ask him. --Andymii (talk) 15:58, 12 June 2015 (EDT)

Blue Lava Bubble proposal
I add a new option to my proposal. You can change your vote if you want.-- 15:44, 12 June 2015 (EDT)

Ludwig von Koopa
You speak French ?

J'ai une question, pourquoi ta effacer ma modification ? --Captain Yoshi  07:04, 13 June 2015 (EDT)


 * Un peu... Les phrases sont inutile (parce que les couleurs des Koopalings sont contradictoire). En plus, ne pas utiliser le mot "it" pour les personnes. - Walkazo 12:49, 13 June 2015 (EDT)
 * Ah d'accord ! Je savais pas, :-) --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 11:43, 16 June 2015 (EDT)

Is it written in the guidelines that names stated in-game should not be sourced?
If it is, I apologise. I realize that it is stated in the page's of Gooper Blooper and Petey Piranha that they have that name in Sticker Star, so it is unnecessary their, but for King Boo and Wiggler? --Hiccup (talk) 13:38, 13 June 2015 (EDT)


 * Citation Policy: "For the most part, you don't need to provide a reference for basic information taken directly from the games. This includes [...] characters," - level/mission/etc. names aren't obscure enough to warrant citations. Names only found in guides or other 3rd party sources (i.e. not the games or their manuals) need to be cited, and just so you know, page numbers should be provided (otherwise they should be flagged with ). - Walkazo 13:44, 13 June 2015 (EDT)

Rhythm Tengoku
From what Glowsquid's adding, the amount of Mario content seems limited to small cameo appearances, mostly assorted characters appearing in the background. Punch-Out has Little Mac directly fighting against DK, and Starfy has Wario directly aiding him, so it doesn't really strike me as being on the same level.
 * Nvm, Glowsquid's reply proved me wrong.

renaming account
I'm not going to be on here anymore, so when you get a chance, you can come to the "MarioWiki:Changing username"page and check my section at the very bottom. Fiddle (talk) 19:02, 19 June 2015 (EDT)Torey
 * I'm not gonna waste my time renaming your account when all you really want is it to be deleted, which it can't be. If you wanna leave, just leave. - Walkazo 19:21, 19 June 2015 (EDT)

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about making that proposal that I just made. 14:48, 21 June 2015 (EDT)
 * Ok. Just don't do it again: use the talk page to suggest changes rather than trying to force them, but for the most part, the admins are happy with the system, so it's usually a waste of time to get into these debates at this point, in all honesty. - Walkazo 15:06, 21 June 2015 (EDT)
 * I'm also sorry about making so many formatting errors when archiving it. 15:21, 21 June 2015 (EDT)
 * That's okay. The first proposal of a new archive is always a bit harder since there's nothing right there to copy. - Walkazo 15:23, 21 June 2015 (EDT)

Block 73.9.16.5
I need to say something? This kid don't stop from being a vandal!

Help me !
Help ! This user: SRYU He attacks me, he asks to ban me, hé said a bother people, I have nothing yet, what to do ?? :-/ Answered me please... :-( --Captain Yoshi  06:47, 2 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Je t'ai répondue dans ma page de discussion. --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 11:17, 2 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Ah okay --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 14:09, 2 July 2015 (EDT)

Please help.
Hello Walkazo. Remember me? I'm Pants98. My account was blocked. I told people why it was blocked and why it should be unblocked. You said that I got in trouble and that the deeds of my brother BowserPants were just me reataliating. However I never got in trouble. There is one possible reason for you to think I did. please look closer and you will see that I did not get in trouble. If you still don't beleive me I will get evidence. Please help me get my account back.


 * No, I don't remember you. But looking through your contributions and what's said on your talk page to refresh my memory, I see no more reason to believe you now than I did back then. Sorry, but "my brother did it" is the oldest excuse in the book, and the timing is also very suspicious. Get over it. - Walkazo 17:59, 3 July 2015 (EDT)

Just saying hi
Looking through the User pages (I get reeeeally bored), I came across your brother's. I'd type something on his page, but odds are, he's not gonna see it. I also have Asperger's and Autism (as well as Tourette's and Marfan's), so I know what he's going through. It can be tough being really smart and unsociable. The most recent date I saw on his page was 2011, so I hope he's doing much better now! I have trouble talking, but I somehow have a lot of friends, so I know it can only get better as you go along. I have a younger brother with Autism as well, so I know how it feels to be a sibling of an autistic person as well. I wish you both good luck with your lives, Walkazo and Pantaro! (Alex95 (talk))
 * Thanks. I'll pass along the message to my bro. Good luck to you too. - Walkazo 13:53, 9 July 2015 (EDT)

User block
Could you please block a user or warning it from stopping him to add speculation on article, I'm also think that this user (Fidelc) is a sockpuppet of (Fidel Ofoajoku and Fidel ofoajoku).-- 14:08, 12 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the heads-up about the other "Fidel" accounts: the IP doesn't match so there's no hard proof it's the same guy, but it probably is, and their IP does match a different vandal IP anyway, so I blocked them. - Walkazo 14:20, 12 July 2015 (EDT)
 * I also look around and I see that two other more account name "Fidel" and "Fidel c. Ofoajoku" being block for sockpuppet. Just to inform you.-- 14:45, 12 July 2015 (EDT)

If you don't mind, there's another vandal that could probably stand to be taken care of soon.

Koopalings name
I didn't write "Koopalings" name because I tought it was a mistake, I don't really know where they was name "Koopalings" in NOA French version. Because before New Super Mario Bros. U, they where name Bowser's children instead of their group name. And they didn't appear since a long time, NOA's french was included almost only since 2007 with Super Mario Galaxy, before it, it was mostly english language only.-- 19:53, 15 July 2015 (EDT)


 * Well, someone added it, so presumably they were called "Koopalings" at some point somewhere, but maybe it'd be a good idea to add a to be safe. - Walkazo 20:53, 15 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Yes, I will add it. Thanks! -- 21:24, 15 July 2015 (EDT)

NX and XDS
2 nouvelles consoles pour 2016-2017 aux alentours, les articles seront crée ou pas ? --Captain Yoshi  08:40, 17 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Je pense qu'ils sont faux... - Walkazo 10:19, 17 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Nintendo l'ont pourtant officialiser !? Il y a une rumeur: c'est qu'elle sera avec une application Androïde un truc comme ça, a l'E3 2015 Nintendo on officialiser les consoles --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 10:51, 17 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Il faut attendre fin 2015 début 2016 maux vieux (Pourtant jùNintendo on officialiser ses 2 consoles la !) --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 10:57, 17 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Aside from the name, we don't know much about it. Et il y a beaucoup de rumeurs. Alors, nous ne pouvons pas créer un bon article. It would be better to wait until we have more official information. - Walkazo 20:35, 17 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Elle seront présenter réellement à l'E3 2016/Electronic Entertemaint Expo 2016 d'après ce que Nintendo on annoncer. (2016 sera une belle année en jeux vidéo, avec 2 nouvelles consoles) --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 09:08, 18 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Et après l'E3 2016, nous créerons l'article. - Walkazo 11:52, 18 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Si vous voulez, quand il y aura l'E3 2016 (pendant l'E3 2016) --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 06:24, 19 July 2015 (EDT)

Last Warning
Ah, that's fine then. I looked at the pages for Patrollers and Admins, but neither of them said anything about them being considered the same. As I do not have permission to do this, could you or the other staff members add this bit of information on to avoid confusion with other users? 14:20, 23 July 2015 (EDT)

About beveragarium
The word "bar" never shows up in the Super Paper Mario script at all, not to mention that it's improper use of the term since neither establishment serves alcoholic beverages as far as the game is concerned. Why call them something that they're not? LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:10, 26 July 2015 (EDT)


 * There are plenty of types of bars that serve non-alcoholic beverages, including coffee and milk bars, as well as juice bars and even soup bars. Meanwhile, "beveragarium" appears to be a made-up word: Googling it yields almost exclusively SPM-related results, and even if it's real, it's still so obscure, we are far more likely to confuse or at least perturb readers by using it as the identifier. It doesn't matter if it doesn't appear in the game: is Chap (blue) ever called "that blue guy"? Probably not, but the identifier makes sense, and it's not being billed as part of the canon name anyway, so we use it. And "bar" makes sense here too: these establishments are clearly modeled after bars (with bartenders and regulars and everything), they just serve other stuff instead of alcohol (for obvious reasons), which the articles clearly state, so we're hardly misleading anyone. Why call them some terrible, obscure jargon when we have a nice, simple word that works perfectly well? This is one of the many cases where the wiki's ability to use discretion and judgement is a good thing. - Walkazo 16:59, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
 * I almost guarantee no one actually shortens coffee bar, milk bar, etc. as plain bar. There's also a difference between a bar place in itself or as part of a restaurant, which is typically where juice bar and soup bar comes in. If we must use real-world terms, I'd really recommend using and  since those are more applicable descriptions. Of course, I'd say not using the same identifier for both articles makes them less simple anyway, but the word by itself isn't quite right. LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:10, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Excuse me for interjecting, but there's a small coffee bar near my mom's store, with "bar" in its name and everything, and we usually refer to it as a bar. Call a spade a spade, I say; it's simpler and people are still going to understand it (even if they lead in with alcohol on their mind, they're close enough and the article almost immediately talks about serving milk).
 * Good to know: I have a few non-booze "bars" around where I live too. I also asked my boss when he phoned me a short while ago for a second (now third) opinion, and he says "bar" seems like a general word for a place people hang out (whereas something like "tavern" does seem alcohol-only). Anyway, I feel very strongly that these names make sense, and that it's better that the two places use the same qualifier (like, I kept forgetting which one was milk and which one was coffee, and consistency looks good, like the two colourful Chaps); plus, it's best to avoid unnecessary accented words as not all devices can easily type them. I say leave the pages where they are: there's no good reason to change them. - Walkazo 17:38, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
