Sentence structure
Can you tell me what the "Power Caps" are in this sentence: "[Bowser in the Fire Sea's] own completion unlocks Snowman's Land; Wet-Dry World; Tall, Tall Mountain; Tiny-Huge Island; and Chief Chilly Challenge (DS only, supposing that the Power Caps and Luigi are both unlocked)." Also, which is correct: "a ! Block" or "an ! Block"? Dwhitney (talk) 11:15, December 21, 2021 (EST)

Italics
Sorry I keep not doing that, it’s just that on mobile the apostrophe button is different and doesn’t double as italics like it normally does (for example). Somethingone (talk) 07:53, December 22, 2021 (EST)
 * You need to click on the “.?123” symbol and hold the apostrophe button until you see more options. You simply need to press the “'” button.

Re:Reminder
I know, I know, but as a foreign, my English teachers/tutors/parents/friends never ever said anything about contractions, so it's basically stuck in my brain. I'm trying to avoid this, but it's hard to fight a 21 years old habit. About the Japanese naming, yes I know that too: that's me just confusing the Wiki rules with the Wikia's. About my Japanese translation method: at the beginning, I used this site to extract the Japanese text from a page and then compare the translations on the dictionary and sites (rarely but basically never I used Google Translate). This was when I was scarce in Japanese, now I'm a bit better: I hardly use that image-translator site to copy-paste the text (I directly write down the stuff), I still use reliable translation sites (like Reverso Context) and my knowledge from the lessons.

In the article's talk page or somewhere else? MariusM (talk)
 * I'm not Mario jc but on the article talk pages: I disagree with the page's outright deletion, however. 15:33, January 3, 2022 (EST)

Mario jc does it this way (apparently).
stated as such in a recent edit, and I must say, I've never really noticed (if that's true), just that the wiki has generally been inconsistent about it. Question: why format it that way in the first place? It makes more grammatical sense to me to add quotation marks outside italics. For instance, doing it this way makes it much more clearer when quotation marks are already part of a quote, making it a visual indicator that they are not part of the original quote, and also makes it more aesthetically appropriate when said quotation marks are at the beginning or end of an italicized quote. I don't think there's a hard policy on it, but my impression was always that adding quotation marks inside italics was a mistake that caught on from much copy-pasting or some imperfect editing tools. LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:28, January 5, 2022 (EST)
 * I'm also with LinkTheLefty and I completely agree with him, I use the same reasoning he does to italicize outside of quotes. Quotation marks should be in italics only if they are part of the quote, especially considering we italicize quotation marks already inside if a character or description is quoting something. 16:57, January 5, 2022 (EST)
 * I just wrote it that way out of personal preference; I never thought about that when writing quotes, but I agree with your reasoning. 04:24, January 6, 2022 (EST)

RE: 4Koma
Yeeeah, sorry 'bout that, unintentional. I don't know Japanese at all, and there's a lot of inconsistencies online to how people write it (4-Koma vs 4Koma or 4 Koma). When writing the articles, I used external websites for information and I just took the spelling that the web site author was using for that specific manga.

Question
Hey, kid! Why would you block my IP address if I didn't do anything wrong?


 * First, don't be condescending. Second, it should have been clear from the block reason; you vandalised under your alternate IP and immediately reverted the edits (which is still considered disrupting editing) knowing full well it was vandalism. 05:57, January 24, 2022 (EST)

MarioWiki:Japanese
The "General rules" section says: In addition to romanization, kanji can be phonetically rendered using KANJI (insert the kanji and hiragana where indicated; do not use katakana for this purpose ). Does that mean we have to spell katakana words in hiragana too if they occur as kanji readings (e.g. ページ as the reading of 頁, ギャラクシー as the reading of 銀河)?

My opinion is that we should faithfully reproduce the furigana in the original text. If the original text does not contain furigana, then simply indicate the reading in the romaji. This allows us to distinguish "ゴツゴツ山 (Gotsugotsu-yama)", where we have conjectured the reading, from "ゴツゴツ山 (Gotsugotsu-yama)", where the reading is in the original text and therefore "official".

(By the way, is "consonant-verb" in the next section a typo for "consonant-vowel"?)--Dine2017 (talk) 00:25, February 12, 2022 (EST)

Recent ban due to Cappy Throw account
Hello, Regarding the recent ban of CaptainCappy, Cappy Throw is in fact my sibling, who moved out over a year ago. I was poking around a bit, and it seems he was rather rude. However, I am not him and am simply his younger sibling. I emailed the mwikisysop thingy but I haven't heard back yet. While poking around to see stuff about Cappy Throw I stumbled upon something that said "Resorted to offensive language via email" for March 1st? I can't remember when I sent the email, but it wasn't offensive, and I am not Cappy Throw. Here is the email, directly copy-pasted: ''Hello, I am sorry but I believe we have entered a misunderstanding. CappyCapture is not me but my sibling. To be quite honest, the person behind CappyCapture has moved out entirely. I completely understand where the ban came from and have no hard feelings, as I see how easy and obvious of a mistake this is to make. Especially with how rude he was - I didn't realize until I was fumbling around for a contact address and spotted his comments on Mario JC's page. However I and CappyCapture are not one. I request unbannishment? It would be much appreciated. Sincerest apologies for the mixup. CaptainCappy'' Is this offensive in some way? I worked hard to keep it not offensive. I am very confused right now.

If there's any way I can clear this up, please let me know :) CaptainCappy


 * We received no such email at all from CaptainCappy, and there is no one named "CappyCapture". I was referring to an email sent by CappyThrow, and given that occurred soon after CaptainCappy was blocked, we're finding it hard to believe you're different people. The email could have been sent in reaction to my message here, but even then they didn't deny creating another account. 04:17, March 11, 2022 (EST)

Sorry, I forgot the name while I was writing. If you see the title, I did mean CappyThrow, just forgot what the second part was. Throw and Capture are similar here. But I did send the email, I don't know where it went. Perhaps I typoed while I was writing out the message. I would send a screenshot, but I don't think I can on wikis. I promise this link is only to a screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fh97ivFVO8E6Pt3YqhYC3c0FAmAy-T4e/view?usp=sharing. As you can see by the date, I really did send it. I more than likely misspelled the mwikisysops part or something.

I understand the point of view that I am hard to believe. I wish I knew of some way to prove it. I could call my brother and get him to come online or something, but that could easily be replicated by myself as well, were I to be a double-account. Perhaps if I did this and we were both online at once? I don't know. What do you suggest? I am open to ways of proving myself clean of this. CaptainCappy


 * You claimed the email you sent "wasn't offensive", implying it was sent before CappyThrow was blocked since it was in response to the block reasoning. However, CappyThrow was blocked on March 1 whereas this was sent later on March 2. You also said you "can't remember when you sent the email" even though it was only a few days prior. Either way, this still doesn't prove your case that you're a different person. Both your IPs are even very similar to CappyThrow's and their previous accounts. 01:38, March 16, 2022 (EDT)

I told you, we're siblings, we (used to) live in the same house. This means the IP is going to be similar if not the same. I was saying I don't know when what happened. I was trying to make sure I didn't get him in trouble. I meant I couldn't remember if I sent the email before or after the block. And I know it doesn't prove anything, I'm asking HOW I can prove it.

IDK I think I'm starting to wear out on this whole issue. I'm not sure what to do. I'm asking you what I can do to prove we're different.


 * CappyThrow can try logging in and posting on their talk page, but as I've said, the email CappyThrow sent us already pretty much confirms it was in reaction to CaptainCappy's block, and this combined with the fact that CappyThrow hasn't spoken up and denied creating another account (even after two weeks have passed) and the fact that you not only waited until five days after your own block to send the email but after CappyThrow's block (which gives the impression it was backpedalling) already casts too much suspicion. 02:23, March 18, 2022 (EDT)

I don't visit this site often, I wasn't expecting to be blocked so I just waited. I'll try and get him to do that.

Leak
There's a possible leak for the Booster Course Pass which is supposedly a picture obtained from datamining. Here's the link.

Stub vs rewrite-expand
Hi, I saw you banned a user for making stub articles. I made Go-Gurt and Super Mario Cereal articles earlier, as well as a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner article, for food-related Mario merchandise. I do remember in 2019 there was a proposal I made that set a precedent for merchandise to receive individual articles. Do the cereal and Go-Gurt articles count as stubs? I tried to make sure that they have all the essential information and even added some extra (like a wallpaper on the Go-Gurt article), so I felt the rewrite-expand tag is more fitting.
