huh!
It was legal to archive it, huh?! -- 14:16, 27 February 2013 (EST)

If it is I will (after it reach 225 edits) split the 3 archives as each 75 ok?-- 14:19, 27 February 2013 (EST)


 * No, you should have asked first and let us do it rather than assuming it was okay for just anyone to archive important pages like this. And no, you will not be changing around any of the archives: once the content is moved, it is protected and left untouched and intact with its history. - 21:30, 27 February 2013 (EST)

PNG and JPG
I'm totally confused on replacing jpg with png and related things.. so In short I need to ask.. Is this png artwork is good enough to be uploaded and to replace This jpg artwork. Please explain either yes, or no.-- 02:08, 31 May 2013 (EDT)


 * No, they shouldn't. The png artwork you uploaded have pixelated, unofficial transparency. And I also suspect that they are source-jpgs, meaning that they are still jpgs, just in the png format. So no, unless the artwork has official transparency or are better quality, source pngs, they shouldn't replace jpgs.

How do I make some profile art?
I really don't know how to make some of that profile art like what most users have. Can anyone tell me how to do it?--Mariobro101 (talk) 15:05, 18 June 2013 (EDT)
 * You could do that by using many programs: like photoshop or GIMP. all you need to do is find a character you like very much, download it and modify it as you like.. I could help you if you give me the character's name and modification you would like to do.-- 06:11, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

My username is FireWario. All I want is an icon like the ones used in the Fake News section of The 'Shroom. Oh, and make sure it matches my profile image! I don't wanna see any incongruity! I want it to compliment my pic, not contrast it! -- 17:21, 25 June 2013 (EDT)

Smileys
How do I put smileys on MarioWiki pages? I tried some in the Sandbox, and it wouldn't work! What the heck am I supposed to do? -- 18:05, 25 June 2013 (EDT)
 * What do you mean with smileys? there is no smileys on the wiki, but there is on the forum. and do you mean like http://forum.mariowiki.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif ?-- 19:00, 25 June 2013 (EDT)


 * Yeah, just paste the URL of smileys which exist elsewhere: there's no specific coding to put them on pages here. Although, you might want to check out the ones at Help:Chat.
