Quote Pages
As you know, we have a couple of pages for quotes (Mario (quotes), Bowser (quotes), and Luigi (quotes)). I really don't think we need quote pages for those characters. Might as well make one for every character. And quotes are tricky. Quotes can be pretty much anything the character says from "Mama-mia" to "Mario, we gotta rescue the princess!". It would be better if we just pick five or ten of the character's best quotes and add them to a section in that charater's article. Anyone agree? 23:22, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Yeah.----

Fully support reintegration of those pages. 16:06, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Or we could have no quotes, hows that sound? *nervous face* Anyways, I think the reason that Bowser got his quotes page was because it clogged up his already somewhat cluttered page. Mario and Luigi kinda just followed... -- Sir Grodus

Mario & Luigi barely say anything. I think Bowser's page should stay, the other pages could be erased.

The Bowser page is long, but that's still no reason why it shouldn't follow. Like I said before, it would be best if we just pick out 5 or 10 quotes that best represent the character. That's the whole point of having quotes. There are a lot of quotes that can be added, but there's no point if it doesn't help us know that character.

If we've gotten that out of the way, how many quotes should we have on each character page? I say 10 is a good amount of quotes to add. And after thats decided, what quotes should we pick to keep? 17:47, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Just keep the one's that are the most common, like "Mama Mia"----

I agree with having some of the most famous quotes on all the main characters' pages. But, I think 10 is a few too many. Perhaps 5 is a good number; our Mushroom Kingdom friends aren't all about talk, remember. ;)

Regarding Anniversary
Yes, the link's still red. Suddenly school has become very busy for me, and all the free time I have I am taking care of immediate issues here on the wiki (though none of this has to do with my promotion – things are still the same around here, folks). Fortunately, it's time for a WWD – Wayoshi Weekend, a wonderful time when I'm on a ton in a time span of ~56 hours. This page will be up tomorrow with all the details you'll ever need (hint: try to get yourself available on Friday nights!).

Also, while I'm on the general talk page of the wiki – 'Shroom Issue IV is not an April Fool's issue. Print and due day is Saturday, April 7th. Even though I got some promises of "half-true, half-fake" from some writers, I'm concerned the Issue would be a waste of time instead of something interesting to read for 10-20 minutes.

That's all for now. 22:25, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Un- or Fan- MarioWiki
Suddenly this idea has been revived from the dead and gaining interest rapidly. Here's the idea: Uncyclopedia, but for Mario. However, instead of tons of gay & sex jokes littered throughout the wiki, we'd be creating our own version of the Marioverse. See this forum post from Feb. 9th, and a quick editthis wiki as a test. We'd be looking for detailed yet clever articles that can be funny or peak our interest of "what if..." etc. While "Un-" implies you can add anything you want, even if it's out of the question, "Fan-" implies that fandom recreation we hope to strive for. So, it's time to vote yet again. 18:39, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
 * Support a Fan Mario Wiki on the same server as Mario Wiki, leaving them intertwined with each other, though still separate. Specify whether "UnMarioWiki" or "FanMarioWiki" sounds better.
 * Support a Fan Mario Wiki, but leave it at the Edittthis wiki already created or somewhere on a different website.
 * Oppose such a wiki in any form.

Support on Same Server

 * 1) Support. --

Oppose

 * 1) Pretty pointless.----
 * 2) Pointless waste of space and time. User:Gofer

Comments
If we allowed anything on the pages, it would be pointless, Aipom & Gofer. Even after reading what we have in mind both of you still think it's a waste? 18:49, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
