Sig
Hi! ok, look, I want to make a signature for me but the help page is WAY too confusing. So scince you created this wiki(Thank you) I was wondering if you can explain in a simpler way. I want it to have Wiggler and Swiggler and Lakithunder on it!Ratfink43
 * Well you can edit your sig page and add the appropriate images there. Then link to it at the end of your postings with . -- 17:23, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Wow... -- 17:23, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Main page
What do you think of the issue I brought up on Talk: Main Page?-- 19:19, 25 November 2009 (EST)
 * I've taken your advice; right now moving, uploading, and creating pages require membership for a week. -- 15:55, 26 November 2009 (EST)


 * Do the changes take time to be in effect? Because recently, a new user created some spam pages and the account was only one day old.-- 19:23, 28 November 2009 (EST)
 * What pages did he create? -- 00:09, 29 November 2009 (EST)


 * Sega is our enemy! and Fire Toadstool.--

Alright it works now! -- 00:31, 29 November 2009 (EST)

What does Sega have to do anything?--User:Tigger416/Sig}}
 * They wrote the Bible. -- 17:24, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Affiliation: Boo Mansion
Tucayo, said that I should ask you for the final ok on affiliation with [Boo Mansion]. Just take a look at the Affiliation talk page. Thanks! -BooMansion 04:11, 8 December 2009 (EST)
 * Looks good. Please add your button! -- 23:16, 8 December 2009 (EST)

Sig help
I need help on my Sig. I just need the link to make one. Please put it on my Talk. Oh and by the way, what was the last comment Andre [the user] posted? Thanks!
 * I hate sigs, sorry. -- 22:06, 23 December 2009 (EST)

A Modest Proposal
Please read this topic and respond. 20:59, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Hex Colors
Hey, Steve. I know I haven't been on for a year, but can I use the Color Code Page you made on the wiki I support? GreenBoo 21:57, 23 December 2009 (EST)
 * Yes. -- 22:06, 23 December 2009 (EST)

Travix M.
So you show yourself on my userpage huh, good. Nice wiki. Do you wanna be friends? And do you want to join my wiki? tell me ASAP. Thanks!

P.s. Im trying to get to the chat room but its not letting me. What do I do? whats the reason?
 * Your wiki doesn't make any sense to me. Make sure you're down with Java. -- 21:18, 24 December 2009 (EST)

I have Javascript, but it still won't let me through the chat. Travix M.

Also, can this wiki be an afflite to Mario & Sonic Thug Wiki?
 * Sure, just add the button. Also Java is not the same as Javascript. -- 21:38, 23 January 2010 (EST)

Would you know where the Affliates are? I downloaded Java. Do you want to be friends? Oh, and can I upload Bowser Jr.'s moter-boat from Super Mario Sunshine? As well as his hot air balloon? Travix M.

How did you create the button? Can you show me how? Cause I don't know how.
 * I didn't create it. -- 19:09, 1 February 2010 (EST)

Uniju
Could you make him a level 150 in chat, please? It's been decided that he deserves the promotion. 02:50, 25 December 2009 (EST)
 * Yeah... -- 03:20, 25 December 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks. 03:34, 25 December 2009 (EST)

Sitenotice
Hi Steve! I noticed Sitenotice was taken out for the need of extra ad space, do you think those ads could be moved somewhere else so sitenotice can still be used? Perhaps to the bottom of the toolbox thing in the left? -- 10:46, 27 December 2009 (EST)
 * The Announcement box on the main page was created as a substitute. What news do you have that is so important it needs to be displayed on every wiki page? Plus the caching would delay the message for guests. -- 15:38, 27 December 2009 (EST)
 * Well, I was thinking of announcing The 'Shroom, as it used to be done. -- 18:35, 27 December 2009 (EST)

Website
You know ya make MarioWiki? Can you tell me how to make a website? I really want one.
 * Search Google for web hosts. -- 16:03, 6 January 2010 (EST)

Forum
Hi Steve! Can you please check this and respond? Thanks! -- 11:48, 9 January 2010 (EST)
 * Sorry to bother again, but its very important you cehck this and this. Thanks! -- 22:23, 17 January 2010 (EST)
 * Yeah don't worry I'm in talks on this stuff. -- 22:52, 17 January 2010 (EST)

Interwiki LInks
Hi Steve! Sorry to bother, but could you please remove the interwiki link to Wikia? And perhaps add some to Bulbapedia and ZeldaWiki?? Thanks! -- 21:38, 25 January 2010 (EST)

Sidebar
Sorry to bother again Steve, but what do you think of including this in the bottom of the sidebar? -- 16:55, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * I like it with just text. -- 18:12, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Ok, then text it is :) -- 18:18, 8 February 2010 (EST)

Affiliation
Hello, Steve. I was wondering if an affiliation with the Super Mario Wiki and the Kirby Wiki would be possible. With the Zelda Wiki and the Bulbapedia already affiliated with the Mario Wiki, I think an affiliation between our two Wikis would be suited.
 * Are you refering to WiKirby? --


 * Actually, he was referring to this one.--
 * Actually, long story short, we're creating an alliance of Independent Nintendo Wikis (NIWA), so affiliation with Wikia may not be a very good thing. --

We're working on our own Kirby thing so give us all your articles and I think we can be friends. -- 19:29, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Can you elaborate on this "Kirby thing"?
 * I don't know anything about it. -- 20:00, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * So you're working on something you have no knowledge of?
 * He's kidding about giving us the articles by the way. I'm the one working on it and the one that paid for the domain and hosting. So, we are just getting started and still debugging some skins, creating articles and we don't want paste jobs from anywhere. The URL hasn't been submitted to Google yet, because we want to finish the groundwork and get a staff together before a full launch. Axiomist 20:19, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Per Axiomist. YOu will see more info in this month's Shroom. -- 21:22, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Alright, so no on the Kirby Wiki? BTW, Axiomist, will WiKirby be covering everything from the games to the anime?--
 * Why did you choose .info? -- 22:17, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * They say it seemed fitting for a wiki. And that its completely unregulated. And yes, anime will be covered as well. -- 22:21, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Ah, the animes are kinda hard to find these days. Well I'll just fix up a few problems here and there, but nothing major. .info seems pretty weird, though.--

We'll find em ;) And, Steve, if its in my palce to ask, what were those edits to Sidebar2 and the Sidebar3? WHere will the alliance box be? Thanks -- 22:38, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * SB3. -- 22:44, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Well, I feel I shouldhelp you guys out, so I can probably find you the English episodes on YouTube that I know of.--

Is it true?
I heard about this alliance between Zelda Wiki, Bulbapedia and Mario Wiki over on Bulbapedia. Is it true? Because if it is, it would be AWESOME. ZeroLatios 19:46, 15 February 2010 (EST)
 * To answer your question: Yes, it is. --

Red link
Hi, Steve. I've been going around removing useless red links, and I found quite a few broken links in your archive. Could you remove them, please?
 * Sorry. I don't want to touch my archive. -- 18:38, 24 February 2010 (EST)

Regarding the Table Button Proposal
It would be helpful if you told us if it is possible. Thnk you. LucariosAura (used to be specialk) 10:47, 24 February 2010 (EST)
 * Well it would need an extension. Even if there was one I probably wouldn't mess with it anyway. -- 18:38, 24 February 2010 (EST)

New!
we have great things about u and we want you to join us at VGH to help with articles and doing so involves $$$ the link to the site is down below as my name. it links to my user page on the site or u can reply on my talk page here as my user name is johnnylightning. if u help us with creating articles at VGH the reward is big $$$ Jonathan Smith
 * No thanks. -- 14:09, 11 March 2010 (EST)

Forum Problem
I changed my e-mail to my Gmail account, but I guess my Gmail account didn't accept the activation message and it was blocked as spam. In any case, could you please re-activate my account?


 * Ok. -- 14:09, 11 March 2010 (EST)

Galleries
The other sysops and I would like to add another namespace. Could you please add this to localsettings.php? $wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "Gallery"; $wgExtraNamespaces[101] = "Gallery_talk";

16:17, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
 * Sounds grand. -- 17:05, 14 March 2010 (EDT)

Archive
Hi Steve!Can you please tell me how to make a talk archive?
 * Move content to a new subpagge. -- 17:15, 14 April 2010 (EDT)

Sitenotice
Hi Steve. I come representing the Shroom Core Staff, and I wanted to ask you, is there a way we could put sitenotice to use again? I know it is used for extra ad space, but those can be moved to below the sidebar, or at the page bottom. Or perhaps use the sitenotice text below the ad? Thanks. -- 15:55, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
 * We've been over this. Answer is the same, sorry. -- 17:15, 14 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok. And do you think it would be possible to add a template for The 'Shroom on the main page? -- 17:20, 14 April 2010 (EDT)
 * You can look into taking over the "MarioWiki Community" box. -- 18:01, 14 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks :) I will show you a draft before I add it. -- 22:16, 14 April 2010 (EDT)

Subpages
Hi!It's me again,can you tell me how many subpages a user has the right to create?
 * No number limit. -- 18:34, 16 April 2010 (EDT)

Thanks man!

Some questions about dates
Hi Steve! I am doing some research about the wiki, and tehre are some dates I wanted to know, I hope you can tell them to me :) I would really appreciate if you could tell me those dates :) -- 18:10, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
 * WHen was the forum created?
 * When were DK Wiki, Yoshi Wiki and Wario WIki created?
 * When were they deleted?
 * The forum is my join date October 15, 2006, 12:30:54 AM. Don't know the others. -- 23:58, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks :) I will get to investigate them. -- 11:45, 12 May 2010 (EDT)

Ads
I'm pretty much new to this whole site, but I know you as the fellow who made the e-mail in sbemail #117. I also see you're the founder of the site. So I ask you, is there some way we can keep these annoying ads from appearing on the top, the right side, and the bottom of every page? The HR Wiki is ad-free, but why is the site not the same way?--Part Italian 01:11, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
 * The HRWiki is supported by donations. We tried that but it did not work, so we need ads. If you really don't like them, adblock is always an option. -- 13:49, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
 * Ohhhh, now I understand. I guess the same thing goes for the other sites, like Bulbapedia. --Part Italian 01:27, 20 May 2010 (EDT)

Can you help me?
Hi, I want to know, can I have permission merge some of the Donkey Kong related info from here to the DK Wiki? This wiki has quite a lot of DK info compared to the DK Wiki's. I tried asking on the main page, but a user said I should consult you. HavocReaper48 19:21, 23 May 2010 (EDT)
 * You may use the articles for information, but we ask that you not copy our articles directly. It's beneficial to both sites to have original content. -- 20:10, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080511072328/streetfighter/images/d/d6/Dan-snk-classic.gif Thanks ! HavocReaper48 20:22, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

Page
Could you create my page? --Toa11 14:48, 3 June 2010 (EDT)
 * Your user page? -- 14:51, 3 June 2010 (EDT)

Moving ads
Hi Steve! Is it me, or do the ads now move when you scroll the page? This leaves a huge space at the end of pages (at least in my computer) -- 16:28, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
 * Space should be gone. -- 16:30, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks -- 16:33, 4 June 2010 (EDT)

MediaWiki Upgrade
Hello, I had originally posted this on the proposals page but I was directed to you. I just joined this wiki and am currently waiting for autoconfirmed to start editing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and I've noticed that this wiki is running on an extremely old version of MediaWiki. Upgrading to MediaWiki 1.15.4 would not take very long (no more than 20-30 minutes per server but more like 5 if you have only one server) and it would introduce several bugfixes and new features that would make MarioWiki run more smoothly. I have experience running MediaWiki sites and will gladly answer any questions. Additional upgrade information can be found on MediaWiki's Web Site.
 * Okay. Thanks for your concern. -- 14:46, 5 June 2010 (EDT)

Wiki?
Steve? What's happening here? The wiki's words aren't visible and this morning, when I access this website, it says mario is not amused or something. Is there a problem?
 * I upgraded MediaWiki. If you run across any more problems report them too! -- 07:00, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Now we can't see Japanese characters, and Fawfulfury65's name from the MarioWiki Community box on the Main Page is stuffed up. And the who's online thing... (This is not a complaint)
 * Maybe the media wiki thing is the reason?

It definitely is. Japanese characters still work, but they need to be entered in again. -- 07:16, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Problemes
Okay, there are two recent changes links on the left bar(or whatever it's called), and the who's online thing on recent change doesn't work. All I can say for now!
 * The new Who's Online thing is a link; click it for the list of people. -- 07:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Japanese characters definitely do not work as of now. ??????????? 08:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * They work, but they were all lost. For example, I fixed Shigeru Miyamoto. -- 08:06, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Wait, Porplemontage, the Mario is not amused. thing is part of this thing right. I thought someone was trying to hack into my account! Thanks goodness, but anyways, it's looking good. --
 * Yes. -- 08:10, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

I can only see 3 question marks for Miyamoto's name. 08:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a problem on your end. -- 08:10, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, it's not. It's the same here. - 08:13, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * They just showed up for me too after I saw the characters. I'll look into it. -- 08:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Check it again. If it works now then we need to use a Unicode Converter. -- 08:48, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, take a look at the top of the king boo article!
 * Now I'm noticing some problems. I'll see if it's just for me, but can you check your userpage and everyone else reading this and can you see if the actions at the top (Userpage, Discussion, edit, etc...) and the boxes to the left (mario knowledge, navigation, search, etc...) are separated from, for example, the mario knowledge box appears at the top of my page, but everything else appears at the bottom. ANd Ralphan's sig is screwing up. --
 * That was a problem with the userbox template. -- 08:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It didn't seem to fix it unfortunately. The stuff on the left appears on the bottom on my page. If you want, I can upload a picture of my problem. --


 * Also, I think I found out the problem that I was having. I think it has something to do with the userbox tower that is screwing up my page, so if you can fix it, I'll greatly appreciate it. P.S. Sorry for my annoyance. --

You gotta close your tags! -- 08:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, 2257 fixed it for me.--


 * Also look here: Template:SSB Moves. And sorry for bothering you as well.
 * That template needs to be converted to the Javascript hider. -- 08:48, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, it's like that with every template that include those dots and can someone fix Ralphan's sig.--

Hello Steve. Do all the distorted characters have to be replaced manually or is there a different solution for this issue? And if it has to be done manually, could a bot be used to fix at least the common problems (e.g. the aforementioned dots and "Pokémon"? --Grandy02 10:32, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Please replace them with unicode and then this shouldn't happen again. -- 17:49, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing the problem. There is only one issue left, the version histories of the various Pokémon pages aren't accessible anymore (at least not for normal users). --Grandy02 21:13, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * This is fixable, but I'll wait until the site calms down a bit. -- 21:19, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Page Protection
Um, hello. What's going on with the wiki? My page has shrunk, coding shows up, some writing on your talk page doesn't show, the advert stalks us, and the wiki crashes in the evening. Now I hear that all userpages are unprotected? Also there are the other problems noticed by other users here. And why does it turn into UTC when I use the 5 squiggly lines? Please can you sort it somehow, since you are the creator(thanks)? This is madness! 10:50, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Userpages are protected again but that was to help you with your code! -- 17:49, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Steve! Do you think you could post a list of changes somwehere so we know what has changed? Thanks! -- 15:24, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Check out MediaWiki release history. Anything after 1.10 is new for us. -- 17:49, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks for upgrading, Steve! -- 02:32, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, and thanks for upgrading! The who's online thing still isn't working properly along with the funny symbols on pages. Also, why are we in UTC? 16:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Who's Online works fine. If you're referring to the code, the new code is  . What funny symbols? And I didn't change anything regarding the time. I'm guessing that signature times are in UTC now so there's no need to adjust for time zones. All the live times can be offset in your preferences as usual. -- 20:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Um, I think it's mainly Japanese characters, but some stuff on userpages had gone strange, e.g. Tucayo's sig. His talk link is TM, but is displayed as a square. 15:03, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Show/Hide
Another problem, the show/hide button doesn't work anymore.
 * @Mr bones: Use this. You'll be happy ;)
 * The extension has been abandoned. It's a matter of converting everything to our Javascript method. -- 17:49, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Special characters
Steve, since you were changing the Wiki, many special characters are screwed up. for example, look at my user page that uses many of them, and now they show other signs... Will be there a way to solve this?


 * Hmm, many sigs seem to be going haywire and someone's is making all the words invisible. --


 * Also, I cannot access the Mario and Luigi series pages due to problems with the ampersand. Do you know how to fix this?--


 * They are fixed. -- 18:58, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, that's good.--

Choose
Is the choose extension dead now? 06:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Just added it back. -- 06:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Upload by URL??
Hello Steve! Special:ListGroupRights says admins can upload images by URL. I had never heard of that... What is the link?? -- 20:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The feature was disabled but you can use it now! -- 20:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks!! -- 21:23, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * SOrry to ask so many questions, but I am getting used to the changes :P What is the new box in CheckUser, and how is it used? -- 22:01, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's say a troll is making edits from multiple IPs. You enter them as a list and it will give you the appropriate range to block. -- 22:20, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

About a Proposal
Hello Porplemontage. Could you check out this proposal and tell if the stuff proposed there is even possible? Because if not, the whole proposal is pretty pointless. - 20:45, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's possible and would simply require MediaWiki:Logouttext to be altered. -- 20:52, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. - 20:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

MediaWiki
Recently, I've been seeing some words in various articles being "eaten" or getting cluttered by the pictures and infoboxes. Look at Prince Pikante and Black Jibberjay for example. Do you think there is any way to fix the problem or should we just leave it as is?--
 * I don't see the issue. Post a screenshot/what browser are you using? -- 06:55, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I use Internet Explorer and I highlighted the problems in a red circle. Click to enlarge it. --


 * It looks normal in IE for me. Try clearing your cache or doing a hard refresh (CTRL + F5). -- 07:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's didn't work, but it's no big deal, I could live with it. --

ImageMap
As we are now compatible with it post-upgrade, could you install the ImageMap extension? I think that this would be useful in many different articles. 06:06, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * ImageMap is live. -- 06:38, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. 15:12, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Advertisements
After the recent update, I've been seeing a few advertisements covering parts of my userpage. Is there any way I can stop this from happening?
 * This is intentional. It is against the Adsense terms of service to cover the ads. A corresponding wiki rule has been added to reflect this. Something such as a status can be easily placed below the page title. Thank you for your cooperation. -- 23:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Is it me, or have we just been freed of all adverts, because the wiki seems supersized now? 11:05, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. -- 11:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
I just wanted to say thanks for getting rid of the ads. :)
 * Same here, thanks a lot Steve :) I saw we followed Bulbapedia system. -- 14:13, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. Trying new things. -- 22:48, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Forums Problem
I've been trying to access the forums for over a month now. I don't know what's wrong. I've tried everything. I've asked foor more activation e-mails about 3 times now, I've tried re-registering (that didn't work because it said that my username was already in use). Tucayo mentioned on my talk page that I could try asking you why they won't work. Can you help?
 * You can login now. -- 01:47, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Urgent
I'm hoping this is just my comp (Windows XP), but the template doesn't work. Not a major problem, but annoying. More importantly, iFrames isn't working, which could seriously f*** up the Awards polls (which open tomorrow). Could you please look into this?


 * Both these extensions were removed. Show/Hide can be done using JavaScript. If you create an HTML page with all the polls, I can upload it. -- 05:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually this is better: -- 06:03, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

So how exactly do you do show/hide with Javascript?
 * Set the class of the table to "expandable". -- 19:24, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

CSS
Hey Steve, it's SilverYoshi95 here (after a name change). I'm just wondering if there's a way to hide the Google ads on the right of the page using my css, as they really get in the way. Or at least make my main section thinner, so the Google ads don't get in the way. Thanks =D 06:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * They should be to the side of the main section. You can make the main section thinner, though:
 * #content{ margin-right: 130px; } -- 06:56, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Perfect! Thanks, Steve! 07:23, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You got it. -- 07:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Admin
Can I be an admin? User:Yoshirulesbrides
 * No thanks. -- 23:32, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Why? User:Yoshirulesbrides
 * You know you have to actually work to get it. Begging will only lower your chances. Listen to someone who has experienced it before.--
 * Read FAQ.

Reference/source link issues
After a few days of MarioWiki's mediawiki update - there are issues regarding the missing references. They don't show up in newer articles such as Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Mario Sports Mix when you're not logged in, while older articles like SSBB indeed show up. Please examine this. Any explanation? -- 00:04, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I noticed this too. Logged out users see a cached version of the page, and for some reason the list of references is not being cached. I'll continue to look into this; thanks for bringing it up. -- 00:26, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for attempting to fix it, but the issue still partially exists. Check Food (merchandise) when not logged in. I recently did editing that involves reference tags. -- 00:37, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I found a workaround to this bug. When logged out you may have to purge the cache of the page to see the references list. -- 06:37, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Template Box Problem
Hi Steven did you check the Navigation Templates because some of Templates won't let you hide some of the information list, here what i mean. Do you know whats the problem is? --Lindsay151 05:22, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem is that some templates are still using the code for the Show/Hide extension, which we no longer support. These templates must be updated to use our "expandable" class. -- 05:27, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Can help me fix it please i been doing what you said, but i just can seem to get it right can you show me?. --Lindsay151 09:41, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. The whole table is a lot cleaner now. -- 10:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank You --Lindsay151 14:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Er...
What's up with the ads? The sidebar ads follow the scrolling! I'm fed up with these homing ads! Can you put a stop to them? TyphlosionBlaze 21:21, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually logged-in users don't see them... -- 21:36, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * But I see them...and I'm logged in.--
 * Weird... try clearing your cache. -- 00:58, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If you don't like the ads, use an adblock extension. No more ads. -- 01:08, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

My @#%&ing XP
Do you know of a good windows xp tech support site? My XP has been generally screwed over, with bars of glitchy lines all over. I can barely read what I''m writing!

-YourBuddyBill
 * Nope, sorry. You're better off asking in a public forum rather than asking just me. -- 20:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Help? or where can i get it

Page views/Special:PopularPages
Shortly after the update of the MediaWiki version, the wiki still has the page views. After quite a while, I noticed that it disappeared from the bottom page. We can't tell how many views did articles received from being viewed by guests, and users - maybe even the Main Page (since we already reached 2 million views due to the release of SMG2). Any idea of how it happened? -- 07:46, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Page view stats were removed to reduce stress on the server. -- 07:48, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there a way to privately see them, or is this final? Just simply curious. BTW - I didn't even know page views causes server stress.-- 07:53, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No, it's final. It causes server stress because guests see a cached HTML version of the page, so they don't pull the page content from the database. But the page counter has to access the database anyway, so it's an extra hit to the database. Multiply by all the guests and it makes a difference for something that is not crucial. -- 08:05, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Automatic LOG OUT
Hi steve! There's been some kind of a small(big) problem after the media wiki upgarde. When you edit something that takes time(tamplates, tables...) and click on save page, all your work is gone! Because you'll log out without knowing that! I checke the remember my login on this computer but nothing!
 * Did this start right after the upgrade? -- 10:03, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * i think it starded two weeks ago.
 * I don't have a lot to go on with this. What browser? Maybe clear your cookies then check the remember login box and login to get a fresh set. -- 11:17, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Spanish
¡Hola!. Tengo una duda muy grande. He creado otro Wiki y sobre haberle dado al botón de previsualización sobre el cuadro de edición tienen unos símbolos que vienen ya con el Wiki:Te mucho estaría agradecido que usted me ayudaba en ello explicando gustan cambiarlo. Usted es saludado por el Príncipe Shroob.--Prince Shroob 13:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi! I don't speak this. You can check out the help pages. -- 16:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Galleries
Hey Steve, just to be curious, but why did you add in the category in Gallery:Mario Party 3 page? -- 09:34, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * So that in the category page the galleries are sorted by the name of the game/character and are not all filed under G. -- 09:41, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

CSS
Can you help me? I really do not understand what it is and how the coding for it works! 11:50, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It can change the way the wiki looks. If you don't know anything about it you're probably better off not worrying about it. -- 12:02, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
