Dino Rhino/Reznor
Reznor's page said it is sometimes called a Rhino Dino. 16:34, August 3, 2020 (EDT)
 * It still mainly uses the name "Reznor" though, even in the Super Mario World credits.

Proposals
Hi, would you mind voting in these two proposals? No that I'm trying to canvass or anything, I just need one more vote to reach the necessary quorum. 18:20, August 9, 2020 (EDT)
 * Just done so, even though I've never played a Warioware game before.

mobile
Doing that many edits on your phone, must be extremely easy and fun.
 * I'm actually using an iPad.

Collectible Treasure Descriptions
I think it's better if we also include the number. As in: Collectible Treasure #46. 11:32, August 21, 2020 (EDT)
 * I must admit that it's something that didn't cross my mind back when I put these descriptions in for everything, and that I changed it for the Canned-food part-tay trio to be consistent with the rest, but now that you mention it I guess we could do so. I just don't remember if the numbers are also shown when viewing the collectible treasures in the museum (I copied them straight from my copy of the game).
 * In the article, it has the collectibles in numerical order. I'll start doing it now. 12:00, August 21, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks
I didn't see those until I looked at the edit history. I wasn't probably looking at the recent changes when you added that. 19:18, August 24, 2020 (EDT)

RE: Forum talk
Basically any comment that can be interpreted as intent to improve the article/wiki should be assumed as such and shouldn't be outright removed. And looking at the user's past talk posts, that was very likely their intent. Comments like "What's your favourite character" clearly don't have this intent, so they should be removed. 00:17, August 28, 2020 (EDT)

Paper Mario: Color Splash "Card description"
I don't need to discuss them, without wanting to violate the rules, the descriptions which are noted on the museums, they note them on the characters and enemies concerned, as we have always done. And the description of the cards of  Paper Mario: Color Splash  are not listed on their profiles. So, however, there is no harm.

Thanks
Thanks for correcting some stuff on the Dress-Up Photo Studio Page, I was almost completely sure I never used "you" on the page, but I guess something must have slipped by.

SM64 anti-piracys as game overs
Why do you guys not cover notices when those are considered Game Overs?--Crazy Muzzarino (talk) 06:43, September 15, 2020 (EDT)
 * The page is only meant to cover proper game overs, what you are adding in is not one.

Top Secret Area
It doesn't say anything about the Top Secret Area replacing it though.

Re:File names
I have dumps of the game files and file structures. 13:26, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

Terms on Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
Why did the trivia I added violated terms? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 09:18, October 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * See Trivia.
 * If this was the case, maybe you should add it to the characters page Benjaminkirsc (talk) 09:35, October 17, 2020 (EDT)

Anytime
Thank you for the suggestion. I have recently finished the game and will move on to doing research for certain characters. If I have any suggestions I deem essential I'll let you know, and vice versa? 20:40, October 18, 2020 (EDT)

RE: Anonymous user warnings
Just got your message regarding this; thanks for the heads-up on that. The comment itself to that said user still stands though because I detected a major red flag from them for flat out ignoring our calls for them to cease and desist "restoring" unconfirmed information. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 19:53, October 25, 2020 (EDT)

Happy Birthday!



 * Thanks very much guys.

Apology
Hi, Sorry about that, I didn't know that I create Users:Samueljoo/Hellen Gravely. ^u^ --Samueljoo (talk) 02:47, November 6, 2020 (EST)

RE: Kaden Pervaiz's talk page
I've seen other users do similar things on their talk pages before. As far as I know there's nothing that doesn't allow it, but I'll bring it up with the rest of the admins and find out for sure. -- 21:42, December 2, 2020 (EST)

Problematic IP
If there's an IP that is not listening to you, before you report them, you should at least attempt to communicate to them in their talk page. If they ignore it, then it's fine to report for admin action against them. I accidentally rollbacked your report instead of undoing it, so I'm unable to provide the edit summary commentary. 17:40, December 5, 2020 (EST)

RE: Japanese quizzes
Is it okay if I separate them into a new section? If it's still bad then I'll just create a new list page to put them all. EC2-Towards (talk) 10:25, December 19, 2020 (EST)
 * The currently found questions and answers should be still put somewhere for now. If that's the case, I'll go for the new list page first at this point, until further discussion on the article talk page. EC2-Towards (talk) 10:38, December 19, 2020 (EST)

Multitude of links
In regards to your comment here (permalink), those might be links from one or more navtemplates transcluded onto said articles, so I'm afraid there isn't really a usable filter for the links. 18:56, January 10, 2021 (EST)
 * Yeah, I suspected that was because of the templates. I even tried changing the link there first before I moved the page, which didn't work.

Shiny Crown in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Super Mario 3D World
The Australian website lists the crown in Super Mario 3D World as being named the Shiny Crown, so I believe they should be in the same article. There's also another crown in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker that might be a Shiny Crown as well, but that one has no source. B700465189a9 (talk) 09:45, January 14, 2021 (EST)
 * You may want to bring it up on the article's talk page if you're that insistant on it. But for the record, we shouldn't really treat them as the same thing just because of the same name.

Bowser Jr.'s Journey overworld move names
Whenever you get to them (eventually), would you also mind checking all of the other overworld move names in Bowser Jr.'s Journey's digital manual as well? I know you already did it for Sliding Haymaker, but Spin Jump (probably has the exact same name), Drill Bros., body slam, and spike ball still need verification. Thanks! 14:13, January 30, 2021 (EST)

RE: Official image
Not sure, it seems okay but I'll ask for the source. -- 20:52, February 15, 2021 (EST)

That Trivia Dragon Ball comparison
I didn't add that there. I only fixed the Trivia section because of the way it was poorly done. Didn't know that these kind of comparisons are not allowed, otherwise I would have removed it.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 13:51, February 16, 2021 (EST)
 * I know it wasn't you who put that there, I was actually about to revert it before your edit was submitted. No worries either way. 14:05, February 16, 2021 (EST)

Statuses
It seems to me that you’re online when I am and offline when I am. I don’t know what’s happening. Do you know? 06:33, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I actually come on and off most of the day. I'm often online when you're not as well. 06:38, February 17, 2021 (EST)

RE: 	List of enemies by game
I've gone ahead and semi-protected it since I feel notices would end up being placed everywhere, and placing one in one place would likely cause many anons to miss it. 20:20, February 24, 2021 (EST)

RE: RE: Need help with anything?
Well, if I get the TOK, I can certainly make that happen, also should the page for collectable tresures be also made, even though Musée Champignon has 3/4 of information? I mean the page would be THE exact location and image, like other collectible pages. Because other than the stuff you mentioned, I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what to help with. Mid188 (talk) 14:02, February 27, 2021 (EST)

I mean when you think about it, Musée Champignon has only the region of where the treasure is (Whispering Woods for example) but not the exact locations (for example, Whispering Woods: In the area with the revitalizing spring, Mushroom treasure is found at the end of the area, in the corner.). And if you need to do something specific to reach the treasure, this page would have it covered. That's why I think it would be preferable to create the page, mainly for take sake of consistency, since Hidden Toads, Not-Bottomless Holes and Hidden Blocks all have/will have their own pages and it doesn't feel right to leave out the Collectible Treasures. Mid188 (talk) 00:03, February 28, 2021 (EST)

You made a mistake in your userpage.
In your userpage, it says Super Mario is tied with Kingdom Hearts'' for my favorite game franchise. 04:08, March 20, 2021 (EDT)
 * I fixed the italicising for Super Mario, if that's what you're referring to. 06:51, March 20, 2021 (EDT)

Re:
Oh ok, sorry about that. I'll add a comment right now. Results May Vary (talk) 08:48, March 24, 2021 (EDT)

New file version
In the future, if you have a better version of an existing image in the same format (like the Sea Chart you uploaded), you can upload over it as a new version by clicking on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the existing file page, instead of as a separate file. 23:51, March 29, 2021 (EDT)

Re: Basin in Paper Jam
It's at the very start of the game. If Luigi tries to go through the door in the attic without investigating for the Scaredy Rat, Toad tells him not to leave yet. Eventually, Luigi gets either a heavy object (I think either a basin or a weight) dropped on him, making him dizzy. It's played comedically and in a similar fashion to the PM games. 13:37, April 12, 2021 (EDT)

RE: DK Country animal friend page moves
The page can't move to a redirect's name if the redirect has been edited, so you'd need to mark it for deletion. You can do that now or let me know when you're ready to move and I'll delete it then. 22:06, April 14, 2021 (EDT)

Parry would be "Parry (character)" per Naming. Basically mirror how they were prioritised before. Since "Ellie" already redirected to the elephant before this (due to it being more popular), it can just take the "Ellie" name. Since "Parry" is already a disambiguation (since both are about equally likely searched), the bird uses an identifier like Parry (move). 06:25, April 15, 2021 (EDT)

Twitter
Hey! Letting you know I just sent you a twitter dm about something important.

08:07, April 25, 2021 (EDT)

Congrats
Let me be the first non-staff member to congratulate you on your promotion. 10:23, April 25, 2021 (EDT)
 * Was pleasantly surprised to see not only you joining the Mario Boards but also the Wiki Patroller tag on your account. Congratulations from me, too! 12:43, April 25, 2021 (EDT)
 * Congratulations on the promotion! I'm sure you'll be a very valuable addition to the team. -- 13:41, April 25, 2021 (EDT)
 * I didn't see until now, but congratulations! 14:43, April 25, 2021 (EDT)

Thank you all very much for the kind words, I find it quite flattering to have been given the promotion. 13:55, April 25, 2021 (EDT)
 * And I'm also congratulating you! Although you gave me a reminder and almost a warning, you are still a good contributor. You deserved the permission. Since I first came across you, I kept wondering how you're not a patroller yet. 16:07, April 25, 2021 (EDT)

My congratulations as well. 16:35, April 25, 2021 (EDT) Gah, I'm really late, but still, congratulations for the promotion and the hard work that led to it!--Mister Wu (talk) 16:19, April 29, 2021 (EDT)

Re: Origami King enemy statistics
I've been able to decompress the battle scripts (they're ZSTD compressed), but I can't figure out what they mean. The numerical damage values don't seem to be listed outright. 17:56, April 30, 2021 (EDT)

Apologies
Hey, i was just writing this to basically say that what i said back in the MKTour thing was genuinely hurtful, i intended for it to be a harmless joke but i almost immediately realized that it just wasnt, and was just plain hurtful. dude, i hope u dont feel down at all from it and can understand my regret and emotions over what i said RSM (talk) 16:55, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

Re: Whistle Snifit
Whistle Snifits aren't named in glossary.msbt (or in-game). As with in Color Splash, the whistling graphics are included with the regular Snifit sprites. 17:54, May 11, 2021 (EDT)

SMM2
uhh in the 3d world style why do they put track blocks instead of snake blocks? theyre pretty much the same thing!!!!!!
 * I have no idea why you're coming to me of all people about this, 'cause I don't really know what you're talking about. SMM2 is a game I don't know much about. 13:13, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

Re: SMM2
Actually, Snake Blocks are available in the Super Mario 3D World style. User:Supermario12345

Megasmilax
Uh, Queen Flower? Also, you never responded to the last point I made on my talk page. (For the record, I'm not trying to sound confrontational, as in the past you have seemingly read some of my messages intended for a neutral tone in an aggressive tone instead.) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:18, May 29, 2021 (EDT)

This.
This. I think every person who edits/edited on this wikipedia should get a warning before a temporary or permanent block. That is what I think. That should happen. Regardless of what the person did. 107.146.244.150 17:28, June 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * That is how it works most of the time for registered users. As explained here, anonymous users are not given warnings, and simply get a talk page message or two if they are not following rules, then get blocked if they continue to do so. However, if a user is blatantly vandalising, anonymous or registered, there is no point trying to tell them to stop and we go straight to blocking. 17:35, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

I also think that users who vandalizing/vandalizing should and need to get warnings before they are blocked. Users could have gotten warning before they were blocked like the user who said "I LOVE DAISY!" in Alex95's chat loads of times, I looked at a revise history of it. Luke is the best 66, NASACRfan0548, and more. I also respect your opinion. When or if I become a user on this wiki, I won't block anyone even regardless of what they are doing. 107.146.244.150 17:44, June 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * Blocking is something only staff members can do, and the reason I blocked Luke is the best 66 is because it was a sockpuppet account; basically someone trying to evade a block by creating another account, and staff members can check IP addresses to make sure of that. I believe NASCARfan0548 is also a vandal who has created multiple accounts which were all blocked. 17:55, June 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * People who vandalize the wiki are not going to be contributors. There has never been a case where an IP who has vandalized the site reformed to be a contributive user. There is no point in giving clear vandals warnings. 17:56, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

OK. 107.146.244.150 18:00, June 7, 2021 (EDT) That is true. I also graduated 8th grade today. 107.146.244.150 18:02, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

My user page warning
I know I cannot officially deny my warning for typing too much in my user page but I will still complain a bit. So I edit my page becouse the mario wiki already has every thing I know (I might be missing something but it is a big wiki so um...) thank you for reeding.
 * It was actually a reminder, and if you browse around you may find something that you could edit. 05:00, June 9, 2021 (EDT)

Ok. Here is a Yoshi gif for no reason:

Sorry for editing the Proposal on the Birdo Page
Yeah, I read I shouldn't re-edit the Merge section, so when I came to change it back, you already done it, so thank you and sorry for the inconvenient. I just want to know since the merging already start, do you will include Mario Strikers games information in that page? Ouimet (talk) 05:54, June 18, 2021 (ET)
 * I imagine that information will most likely be put on the page. 05:53, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

Bowser Jr. Prince
You were wrong to revert those edits people made the past few days to the Bowser Jr. page. Everything was correct, and Bowser Jr. is confirmed to the be the prince, as seen on the official Bowser’s Fury website from Nintendo. 
 * Still, there's never been an instance where he's been referred to as "Prince Bowser Jr." 14:48, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

Re:Cursa article
I've added the sources. Sorry for not copying it over but all the info on Cursa is sourced on the same link on the game page, and it's all the available info on the character now so it's not like the article is missing info. I'm not sure why the first instinct is to tag it for deletion instead of taking the two seconds to find the source in the game article and add it. Cursa was a glaring red link in the article so putting the known info, little as it may be, to start it off seems appropriate. -- 19:45, June 21, 2021 (EDT)

I started a discussion, but it's crickets from the crowd over here. 17:31, June 27, 2021 (EDT)

Shy Guy’s Toy Box Redirect Problems
Hi Keyblade Master, I saw my first nomination page for Shy Guy’s Toy Box had redirect problems, but what did it redirect to? Thanks, , 12:46 PM, July 14, 2021 EST
 * It still led to the Shy Guy's Toy Box page, but the apostrophe made it a redirect which is discouraged in general. 12:53, July 14, 2021 (EDT)

Regarding the inappropriate edit from the anon
In regards to the edit which I flagged as potentially offensive, to be honest, at first I was also unaware that this was inappropriate, but due to a lack of knowledge on Splatoon, I thought that I'd better check that the wrong-sounding name was truely illegitimate and found that it was a derogatory term, albeit in Dutch. Just letting you know that, in case you wanted to know more about the incident! 05:49, August 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * I don't know much about Splatoon either, but I've hidden the revision on the page now at least. 05:57, August 1, 2021 (EDT)

Article length
The only reason I particularly brought up length is due to it being the reason Baby Donkey Kong went unfeatured. Here's this for example.

grammar related trivia in MP4
Hello Have you ever heard of a child that has the best grammar ever? No? That is why Koopa Kid has bad grammar, because he is a child. So it is not speculation, it is a fact that he is a child (hence the kid part of his name), and children almost always have poor grammar. 199.101.61.254 09:59, August 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * That is still a baseless assumption why it is written like that regardless. 10:20, August 14, 2021 (EDT)
 * This is also inconsistent with how he usually talks, and there's also the incorrect Coin Star description, which isn't a matter of poor grammar. It's clearly an error on the developer's part. 22:22, August 14, 2021 (EDT)

Pale Piranha
Hey, I translated the interlanguage tattles on that proposal and they seem pretty adamant it's the same plant Mario's encountered on past adventures. Anyways, I'd appreciate if you'd give it another look and share your thoughts on that. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:21, August 22, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'm still a bit torn on the whole thing if I'll be honest, but I will at least consider thinking about it a bit. 07:20, August 22, 2021 (EDT)

My apologies
Hello, Keyblade Master. Please pardon the bit of attitude I had when you reverted my edit. Accidents do happen, after all. 20:51, August 23, 2021 (EDT)
 * The rollback tool is a bit sensitive. 20:55, August 23, 2021 (EDT)
 * As someone who has rollback privileges on a Fandom wiki, I highly agree with this. Banter aside, I think there should be a confirmation on whether one should rollback edits. You have a nice day (or night depending on your current time). 20:57, August 23, 2021 (EDT)

Smart Steering
Hi, I wanted to ask you something. There is a function in Mario Kart Tour known as Smart Steering. On one of the courses, I kept getting pulled to the wall, so I turned off the function. But then, I gained the ability to drive off-road. I tested the function on courses with shortcuts, and it allowed me to access shortcuts without Mushrooms. Should this be mentioned? 08:03, September 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * I haven't played Mario Kart Tour, nor do I know much about it, so I'm not really sure how to put it. 08:08, September 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * I wanted to ask someone about it, since this allowed me to access almost all of the off-road shortcuts without using Mushrooms. But I don't think this is covered on the wiki, and I'm not sure where to put it. 08:13, September 2, 2021 (EDT)

I'm sorry
Hi, sorry about using my account and IP to tell myself off. You see, I was just bored and had nothing to do, so I decided to do what I did. We all make mistakes sometimes, I won't do this again. It was not funny, but it doesn't really matter that much now. Hope you're happy with this apology. ItsMarioTime! (talk) 11:15, September 3, 2021 (EDT)

Ok
Ok Swallow. now I understand.

Monty Sworm
Regarding what Blinker was adding, Sworm's JP name is actually a pun on Monty's. Granted, the same can be said for Huckit Crab and Goomba. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:00, September 20, 2021 (EDT)
 * Similar names do not always instantly mean they are related however. We're not even making any connections between Huckit Crab and Goomba. 15:31, September 20, 2021 (EDT)
 * I am aware, I'm just explaining the thought process behind the edits. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:35, September 21, 2021 (EDT)
 * It's not just the Japanese name. The Spanish and Italian names also seem to be based on Monty's. As for looking nothing alike... that's fair. I could compare the Sworm's little hairs and big smile to the Presenter's, but that's probably a stretch. Maybe they could just be listed as comparable. Blinker (talk) 06:22, September 21, 2021 (EDT)

Apology to Swallow
I genuinely didn't realise that more than one quote wasn't allowed in this wiki. For that, I apologise. Next time, I'll not do this. (talk) 15:09, October 26, 2021 (GMT)

Contents aren't showing up
Hi, do you know why the "Contents" box, which normally appears near the top of the page, doesn't appear on my user page? Is it because of the coloured background I added? 09:01, October 30, 2021 (EDT)
 * I think you would need to put _TOC_ on the page where you would like the contents box. 10:07, October 30, 2021 (EDT)

Galleries
Should alternate artwork of a character be used in the gallery of the game the character debuted? For example: Should alternate artwork of Daisy be included on the gallery for Mario Kart Wii, if she appeared in it? After all, I think a gallery should contain as much pictures as possible. 12:10, November 4, 2021 (EDT)
 * Only if that artwork is used for that game. 12:12, November 4, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Chain Chomp unfeature nomination
I was not trying to rub it in, if that vote was removed, the nomination will be over.
 * That's not how nominations work, as I said the nomination has to run its course until the deadline date. 14:51, November 5, 2021 (EDT)

Possible flaming
About a month ago, Ray Trace said “shut up” to Bazooka Mario. Is this flaming and should get a warning, or has it been solved already?
 * Apparently the two are related, so it could just be banter. I should mention that Ray Trace is also a patroller like me. 13:19, November 22, 2021 (EST)
 * I see. Siblings always tend to say “shut up” or “doofus” or “clam it.” It’s probably just banter.
 * Bazooka Mario is a twin sister of mine so I'm allowed to say stuff like that towards her. 13:46, November 22, 2021 (EST)
 * I am not used to it because my baby brother is only six and he has feeling issues.

Why
Why'd you undo my comment. I didn't even though how old the discussion was and all I did was ask a question why is that bad. It's not like I was being inappropriate or something and if this is because the users in the discussion left the wiki then I didn't know. I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 19:59, December 10, 2021 (EST)
 * Commenting on old discussions is genrally discouraged because the majority of users who partook there would not even be around at all and things would have moved on. I noticed a lot of ancient discussions don't have timestamps, but when they were posted can still be seen in the edit history. This also applies to old offenses as I went through with you before. 20:10, December 10, 2021 (EST)

Oh, sorry. I&#39;manumber1 (talk) 21:00, December 10, 2021 (EST)

Reporting
I am reporting the following vandal: 195.195.245.20


 * Firstly, I already blocked that user for three days on the day it happened. Secondly, we have a page dedicated to reporting vandals and in the future I'd rather you reported there than here. 10:40, December 20, 2021 (EST)
 * Sorry. I could not find it.

Wracktail
I understand you seeing the good in people, but Wracktail did say he was going to kill them simply because they disturbed his rest. --99.75.146.78 20:45, February 5, 2022 (EST)
 * I wasn't "seeing the good in him", I just think that's a very poor reason to consider anyone "evil". 21:16, February 5, 2022 (EST)

Well, I don’t think I would want to kill somebody just because they woke me up from their nap. And he did say that he was wrathful. -99.75.146.78 22:00, February 5, 2022 (EST) I decided to settle on a compromise. --99.75.146.78 14:21, February 6, 2022 (EST)
 * Next time you put those edits back will be followed with a block. 14:26, February 6, 2022 (EST)

It wasn’t the same edit as before. --99.75.146.78 17:30, February 6, 2022 (EST) I’ve always felt that Princess Shroob was self-centered based on how she claimed the kingdom was hers. I’m trying not to make you angry though. --99.75.146.78 17:36, February 6, 2022 (EST)

Thanks for adding Paper Mario: Sticker Star
think you can add other recurring themes like some of bowser's themes?
 * I don't think those themes have their own pages, and not sure if they would warrant pages. 17:21, March 12, 2022 (EST)

Yeah i think they deserved pages.

I know your probably not the person to go to for this but I found a better quality version of the North American Mario 64 Print Ad for Mario 64 but when I tried to upload it, it said files that have txt/html are not allowed to be uploaded even though it's a jpg. There's an option to ignore warnings but I feel that would be wrong. I knew from the top of Porplemontage's talk page to check the help page but I checked that and the image guidelines and I couldn't find anything on this particular issue. So what should I do?

What I Wrote
In my defense, the Super Mario Wiki seems kind of big on flowery writing. I will admit I was making Hellen Gravely’s page longer than what you might want but Bowser’s page is giant. --Marioisfat (talk) 02:43, March 29, 2022 (EDT)

Name Shenanigans
I'm not implying anyone's stupid, I was merely sharing my feelings on when stuff like that happens for the ninety millionth time. It just gets exhausting in my opinion. That is what I was saying. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 20:38, May 29, 2022 (EDT)

Apology
I'm sorry (I don't know how to mention you in a reply) that I asked Frosty12345 questions but she is not a nice person. She hates Peach and finds her annoying but I do not find her annoying because I love her. And also swearing can get you banned. That's why I made unnecessary questions and comments. But now that you said she was inactive since 2013, I will stop.

Reasonably sure this is an old account of the same person (similar name structure, age then plus time passed matches up with age on this account, singling that specific one out to leave messages on...) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:20, June 4, 2022 (EDT)

No I am not Frosty12345

Re:Infobox variants
I don't care. Paragoomba is a variant of goomba, therefore, all variants of paragoomba are also types of goomba. For example, a falcon is a type of bird, but that doesn't mean that a peregrine falcon, a type of falcon, isn't a type of bird. That is correct (Sorry I need to know how to do a signature)

Question
How do you cite sources? I want to edit an article but they have a warning that you have to cite sources. ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345
 * You put the reference between the two tags . Make sure the page has a references section at the bottom as well. 07:35, June 9, 2022 (EDT)

Another question for you

How can you find a reliable source? YouTube videos vary because you have to know if it is true or not. ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345
 * If the footage is not clearly edited or hacked, then YouTube videos are valid sources. 14:41, June 11, 2022 (EDT)

Re: 100 Coin Missions in Mario Sunshine
Continuing this discussion on your profile as this goes beyond the Sunshine missions article

"We don't allow strategy writing like this as the best episodes/areas to get 100 coins can be subjective, and creating articles for these would be going a bit far."

What about for players that may be struggling to find 100 coins? We should have some kind of content to help them find it so users don't need to keep asking for help on "How do I get 100 coins in X level?". Would it be more appropriate to add such info in the layouts for specific levels/episodes? And I mean things such as "there are coins in X section/object" or "the 100 Coin Shine Sprite can be found in X location", more objective info like that. Bolt Strike
 * I think that would be appropriate enough, as long as we don't outright say "this is the best episode for the 100 coin shine. 16:39, June 10, 2022 (EDT)

About Copyrights
I have another question for you. How can you put pictures on your userpage from Mario Wiki, without copyright infringement? ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345
 * If you're talking about any image that is already used within the wiki mainspace, then there is no copyright infringement to worry about. You can just copy and paste the file link. 09:01, June 24, 2022 (EDT)

About that vandal
It seems you wanted to hide that spammer's name from view, but: I'm no expert on the subject, but isn't it possible to completely hide their edits? 15:22, August 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * Their edit summaries (which contain the name) are still visible.
 * The name is still visible in the reversions.
 * It's still possible to view their edits in the page history.
 * I did try to, but because I had already removed the username from the logs I wasn't able to hide the revisions any further. It looks like only the burearcrats can do that now. 15:53, August 6, 2022 (EDT)

Miyamoto
Its fine to keep Donkey Kong as a series Miyamoto created on his page correct? I'm trying to get through to a user that disagrees with that. Sdman213 (talk) 19:54, August 22, 2022 (EDT)
 * I believe it was from both franchises effectively being created from the Donkey Kong arcade game, so I would say so. 20:32, August 22, 2022 (EDT)
 * Great, Thanks! Sdman213 (talk) 20:34, August 22, 2022 (EDT)

Rare
I thought we'd want to keep it strictly mario-related, as that's what i assumed from this wiki being Mario-centered Mario Manga Reader (talk)

Banjo & Kazooie
Is it valid to have a table listing every game appearance for these 2? I believe it is but I am open to discussing it if it keeps getting reverted by others Sdman213 (talk) 13:46, August 23, 2022 (EDT)
 * I agreed to stop reverting, and I definitely do not want another warning. Mario Manga Reader (talk) 13:50, August 23, 2022 (EDT)

Signature
I have a question about some really cool things users can have. How can you make your own signature? ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345

Yoshi Koopa
25th anniversary book, translated from Tezuka (ie his creator): "Yoshi was originally meant to be a type of Koopa." I believe that speaks for itself (and it's sourced), especially since this book suddenly kickstarted him being considered primarily a "turtle" again. Also, note the Japanese word for the Koopas is just "kame-zoku" (turtle tribe), so calling him a turtle means basically the same thing (like with early Rocky Wrench sources), so that's just an inconsistent translation issue. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:22, October 17, 2022 (EDT)
 * I didn't really take the former part into consideration as "originally" isn't really relevant if it's not implemented into the final product in any way. I know I may be asking for a bit much here, since I didn't see it when I looked at the sources and I can't read Japanese, but is it possible the term "kame-zoku" was even used alongside "turtle"? If so, then maybe we could still note it on the Yoshi and Koopa Troop pages but I'd still take it slow about outright calling Yoshis "Koopas" (I kind of feel the same way about Rocky Wrench as well, since they're definitely not turtles anymore). 12:44, October 17, 2022 (EDT)
 * I can add that, in addition to more recent sources specifying the saddle as a type of (turtle) shell, this panel definitely states along of the lines of it being the same family of turtles as Bowser (ie. Koopas): ちなみにヨッシーの名前の由来は、「社内にいた吉村さんという女性のニックネームと、ネス湖にいると言われていた恐竜のネッシーから取りました. 」（同氏談）だそうで、「ですから、最初は恐竜だと思ってずっと絵を描いていたのですが、後になって本当はクッパなどと同じカメ一族のキャラクターだったと聞かされました. それで、だんだん時間が経つにつれてヨッシーのデザインがカメ的なものに近付いていったんですよ. みなさんお気付きでしたか？」（同）というのだから、小田部氏自身も含め遊び心が満載で実に微笑ましい. (Incidentally, the origin of Yoshi's name was “taken from the nickname of a woman in the company called Yoshimura-san and from Nessie, a dinosaur said to be in Loch Ness.” (his story) “Therefore, at first I kept drawing him thinking he was a dinosaur, but I was later told that he was actually a character from the same Turtle Tribe as Koopa and others. So over time, Yoshi's design slowly became more and more turtle-like. Has everyone noticed?” (him) These comments from Kotabe-san himself and others are quite playful, amusingly enough.) LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:31, October 17, 2022 (EDT)
 * I think that basically settles it. If there are no other complaints, I'm putting it back. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:58, October 21, 2022 (EDT)
 * I'd still rather get a community consensus, but for now my vote would probably be listing it as "relatives" and vice versa. 06:37, October 22, 2022 (EDT)

Japanese quotes
Heya, so I'm not sure if you saw me respond to what you said, but as you said "We normally only note localization inconsistancies if they are dead serious such as with a lot of things from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it's not really necessary for minor dialogue differences." however, the Larry dialogue differences I've brought up are PRETTY big dialogue differences, as well as more dialogue differences I still haven't brought up that are pretty big. --GoldyFish110 (talk) 14:01, October 21, 2022 (EDT)
 * What you brought up still seems trivial to me, compared to Sky Blue Spiny "pipes" and Chestnut/Goomba King. 14:03, October 21, 2022 (EDT)
 * Really? Can you show me those examples you're comparing to the Larry quotes? Even if you think of them as trivial, I think the Larry quotes are just as worth documenting as documenting the Japanese and English versions of the Super Mario Bros 3 Instruction Booklet quote was (well, the Mario wiki might have the Japanese version mistranslated since Japanese speakers on r/translator brought up a slightly different translation of the SMB3 Instruction Booklet quote) --GoldyFish110 (talk) 15:34, October 21, 2022 (EDT)
 * Goomboss, Dark Lakitu/Sky-Blue Spiny. 16:10, October 21, 2022 (EDT)
 * Honestly, those seem more trivial, more minor and less of drastic changes than the stuff I talked about with Larry's quotes. I don't know how the Larry quotes "seem trivial" and these don't, like, the Chestnut King is just a different name from what was originally used (slight disrespect to the source material at it's worst, maybe mistranslate at it's best) and the other is a silly mistranslated tattle. Larry's quotes had completely different meaning for the sake of fitting a different narrative by making him look "evil" when he's not. I mean, we're comparing those (I'd argue incredibly minor differences) to the differences between "Took you long enough, pal... I’m almost done digesting that giant steak I ate." and "Ah, Mario. You caught up with me? Not bad. I ate a lot at the restaurant so I wanted to rest a little more, but since you’ve caught up with me, I guess there’s no helping it." as well as the differences between "You grill a mean steak, Mario. You should have been a chef! At least that way, you would’ve had a nice long culinary existence. But instead, I’m gonna cook you up a tuna-fist sandwich before we get to Starlight Cape! Lord Bowser is expecting the Big Paint Star, and I have no intention of disappointing him. Have you even seen his disappointed face? It’s heartbreaking! Enough small talk. Let’s get this over with." and "Ahaha! It was really, really good! Why don't you become a chef? Uh, I don't have time to talk here. I have to defeat you before the train arrives at starlight cape, if I don't bring back the Big Paint Star, scary Lord Bowser is going to scold me! Well then, let's have a showdown here!" as well as the huge difference that is between "Ahaaaaaaaaa! I love the smell of impending doom!" and "Ahaha! Just as I plotted, you jumped right into the game!" like, these quotes are completely different, I don't understand how Chestnut King and "Spinies hatch from pipes" is more "serious" and less "minor" than these. I mean that in no disrespectful way, so please don't get the wrong idea. I just... really think the Larry quotes are more drastic and serious changes than those are. --GoldyFish110 (talk) 18:35, October 21, 2022 (EDT)

Re:Spike Ball (+ Super Mario Bros. 2)
I may need a bit more context for how the in-game guide is formatted, but regardless of that, here's the scene where it's obtained in the original and the remake - the text could have easily been updated, but it wasn't. It follows the wiki's "most commonly used" rule and it appears to be inapplicable to the original going by previous edit summaries. Additionally, capitalized "Spike Ball" is already taken in this game by a completely unrelated subject according to Spike's profile here, and I think keeping both as-is would be a source of confusion. By the way, I didn't see Wart earlier - I kind of like the way it was arranged before since it's closer to how other non-Mario-originating subjects are organized in their own infoboxes, plus I feel the current presentation gives the impression that Doki Doki Panic released the same year as Super Mario Bros. 2. LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:03, October 24, 2022 (EDT)
 * I guess it couldn't hurt to include Doki Doki Panic's release date year in the infobox as well, but as long as both games are still included. As for Spike Ball, the subjects are kept far away from each other to be confused (they're not even in the same mode), the context of the sentence should also make it clear which subject is being referred to. 16:27, October 24, 2022 (EDT)
 * I checked the remake to make sure the edits were correct. Here's what it says under Guide/Field Actions/Spike Ball:"An action performed by Bowser. Set the Action Icon to blue and press orange to begin. During this move, Bowser will curl into a blue. You can move him around with . In this form, you can walk through thorny terrain and use the spikes to climb up certain walls. You can also break blocks and statues if you roll through them."So the new text actually uses both capitalization and lowercase. I think the lowercase is more technically correct in context because that seems to be how the Guide formats Action Icon labels compared to their moves. For example: "Set the Action Icon to blue and press red to make Mario jump and green to make Luigi jump." The action is lowercase jump, and we don't change it to capitalized Jump due to the icon label. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:48, November 30, 2022 (EST)

Are you a Magician?
I don't know why it happened, but I clicked on the link you posted here, and now my phone is stuck in desktop view & I can't get it back to mobile view. How did you do that? 15:37, November 1, 2022 (EDT)
 * At the very bottom of the page there should be "mobile view" which if you click should take you back (and vice versa, which I do quite often). 15:41, November 1, 2022 (EDT)
