Proposal
...THANK YOU! (Also, i had a dream of going To College)

Hi there
I'm planning on changing my username. But the name I want is taken be some users who haven't been active for years. Can you do something?-- 16:10, 27 June 2014 (EDT)


 * I'd rather not: the rule reads that names only get transferred "provided you have a good reason for wanting the name (i.e. it's your established nickname on the forums)", which doesn't seem to be the case here, and it's not like the old accounts were trolls or accounts that never edited, so I would prefer to leave them alone. - Walkazo 16:20, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for blocking the IP
Thanks for blocking this IP address ‎96.2.42.160, I did message Turboo about it on his talk page.
 * Just doin' mah job. - Walkazo 22:16, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Can you please remove its two revisions 22:59, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Mmmmm ok. - Walkazo 23:04, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Out of Master Hand
Hi, can you do something about User:PrincessJojora? That user is putting false comments with other users sigs, as seen here in the latest comment. Could you please do something? - 22:05, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 * She's already been given a Reminder for it; I would've given her a Warning but ah well, too late now: one more misstep and then she'll get a Warning. - Walkazo 22:22, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Hey, if she(?) learns and does something productive, it'll be a win both ways. By the way, is it only you guys who can issue warnings? - 22:38, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Well, I'm guessing it's a she based on the "princess" part, but I could be wrong (most people guess wrong about my name, lol). Anyway, nope, anyone can issue warnings: if you want, check out Warning Policy for more information about the procedure and what sort of behaviours warrant warnings and such. - Walkazo 22:41, 30 June 2014 (EDT)

Shadow Swingstress
Does that page even need to exist? I mean, it's about a generic person with no affliction or role in th game whatsoever. I've almost beat the game, and I haven't seen them once. Can someone just delete it or should I make a TPP? - 01:39, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
 * If an NPC's named, it gets a page regardless of how minor it is: see Minor NPCs. The more articles the merrier, an the more complete our coverage is, the better. - Walkazo 02:05, 2 July 2014 (EDT)

PrincessJoroa or whatever that users name is.
Should she be blocked yet? She's made made a sockpuppet account, made minor vandalism, pretended to be another user, uploaded useless images and created a fan made page. - 01:16, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
 * There's no reason to be rude with a header like that: it's not a hard name to remember, even if the user does make 99% useless edits. The other account claims to be sibling, not a sock; what minor vandalism are you talking about? Anyway, I've blocked PrincessJojora's userpage since asking her to ease off doesn't work, and have issues a last warning in general since she really is running out of leniency. - Walkazo 01:34, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
 * I wasn't trying to be rude or forceful, I simply have trouble remembering her username. Mainly the "Jorjoa" part. But I was sort of wondering how much slack a user can be given. I understand the sibling part, that sounds reasonable. - 02:04, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
 * If they're not doing damage, just wasting time and space, then they'll get more slack than if they were messing around with mainspace or harassing people to the point of disruption. But it's not an exact science at all; a lot of it's played by ear, and it can even depend on who gets there first, tbh. I.e. maybe I'd give someone a Warning for doing stupid stuff, but if someone else gives them a Reminder before I get there, then I can't do anything and they get off easy (or the other way around, with someone else giving a stronger warning than I would've). There's flexibility, which is good when it comes to managing big, diverse communities like this: there's guidelines and whatnot, but ultimately, there's still the allowance to do things case-by-case, which is a necessity sometimes. - Walkazo 11:52, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

Block the IP
Since you blocked Lhs970317, can you also block his IP address too ( 50.117.34.115), who also makes spam edits? 22:13, 7 August 2014 (EDT)
 * If he tried to edit anonymously from the same IP he was using for his account, it'll get autoblocked. They don't show up in the regular blocks logs, just Special:BlockList. The autoblocks are only 24 hours each, but will happen each time the user tried to edit with that IP, afaik, so it works just as well as manually blocking the IP. - Walkazo 22:51, 7 August 2014 (EDT)

NSMBU is a Mario Baseball game?!

 * Removed by the administrator.

Please stop putting false information on the Toad page. I read through edits to see who did that. I don't know if I should put this here, I know little, I will try reading rules, please ask Steve if I don't get it. I don't know, this is not a joke reminder, I saw the history because the edit before this one didn't have NSMBU in the Mario Baseball series section, but the one you did had it in there. I am not sure for the last time. I am not doing it as vandalism or trolling. It is false, and I have NSMBU but no MB games. There is no baseball in NSMBU. Again, this is not vandalism/trolling. I go on Poptropica so if I am blocked I can be on Poptropica for that block? Reply on User talk:Unshy Guy. Unshy Guy 20:46, 18 August 2014 (EDT)
 * P. S.: Can I still be on Poptropica.


 * Lolwut, you can't give me a Reminder. Even ignoring the fact that I'm an admin, that was just an honest, one-time, two-month-old mistake and doesn't deserve an official warning at all. I was practically reorganizing the entire History portion of that page: there were sections being rewritten and flying around everywhere, and it's not unsurprising that one got misplaced. I don't even know what the hell Poptropica is: do whatever you want there, just don't go throwing wildly inappropriate warnings around here. - Walkazo 22:47, 18 August 2014 (EDT)

Also, again, I will fix (not remove the edit by undoing it) the Toad page by putting NSMBU in the correct place. Unshy Guy

Rumors
I didn't copy and paste... I had the revision history right to the edit window. Oh, I wrongly clicked ENTER when writing a description, so most of what I writed was poofed. Hope you will have unsterstand it, I have tried to make it as much different I can.

user name
I know you are one of the ppl who change usernames and I requested a change on friday so why as noeone approved or rejected it? Green 6017 King Of The Slowpoke 23:11, 20 September 2014 (EDT)
 * I'll step in and say that be patient, the admins check that page and they'll decide at some point 23:13, 20 September 2014 (EDT)
 * Yeah, sorry, I try to check it daily but it got buried under a bunch of other stuff in my Watchlist and I missed it. It's done now. - Walkazo 13:03, 21 September 2014 (EDT)

Mario Fanon
Please make a Mario Fanon Wiki on the NIWA. There is a Pikmin fanon, time for Mario! Trainiax (talk) I want my name changed! Help out! 19:53, 2 October 2014 (EDT)
 * Our wiki's not really aiming to make any new fanon ones: if a Mario fanon wiki's made, it'd have to start out life on its own separate from us and then try to join NIWA. It's a fun idea, so maybe somebody someday will do just that! - Walkazo 20:01, 2 October 2014 (EDT)

RE:Undoing edits
Thanks! Never used that but next time a vandal does something like I'll do it! :)

Another thing about naming...
"The newest name will have priority over older names when mentioned in articles," as Naming says, but currently there's nothing about how Virtual Console is factored into this. Not that Virtual Console makes handheld enhanced ports as well as other remakes and such obselete, but it generally being Nintendo's preferred method of re-release for a while does end up making certain game versions obsure over time. As an example, since Super Mario Advance 4, Super Mario Bros. 3 has been released on Wii, 3DS & Wii U Virtual Consoles, whereas Super Mario Advance 3 has been favored for Virtual Console over Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. So in cases like that, since they are the most widely accessible re-releases for modern systems, maybe they should be considered for the naming update (ie. Goal Roulette, Ultimate Castle Challenge, Dark Land, ect.)? LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:47, 14 October 2014 (EDT)
 * I thought I should give you an update on the Mushroom World names! Earlier, I wrote that the Wii Virtual Console version had the "Land" names, but I wasn't certain if this had changed on the Wii U Virtual Console and I don't have my own copy to check. I stumbled on a Portuguese Wii U VC Let's Play that supported the "Land" names; however, I initially dismissed it because I wasn't sure it necessarily reflected the North American release (if I'm not mistaken, all PAL NES copies actually had the "Land" names). However, I later noticed something interesting on the game's Nintendo UK page: "Please note: Super Mario Bros. 3 on Wii U Virtual Console is the US version of the game." Given that, would you consider it sufficient evidence that the "Land" names are technically the current names? LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:13, 2 November 2014 (EST)

Question
When is my next name change allowed?
 * The one you just got was your first, right? That means you can get another one whenever you want. But after that, you have to wait until at least the one year anniversary of your first rename to get a third one. - Walkazo 17:12, 16 October 2014 (EDT)
 * Oh okay, never knew that.
 * It's the first bullet point in the box at the top of Changing username... - Walkazo 17:18, 16 October 2014 (EDT)

I'm Kind of Scared
I want to correct grammar and maybe edit some things, but I'm scared. If I make a mistake, will I get banned? Or is that just for vandalism and being rude to other people? I just made this account, and I don't want to get banned. User:Madz the Penguin
 * No, you won't get banned for making editing mistakes. As long as you don't vandalize articles or troll people, you should be fine, but when in doubt, there's lots of policy pages you can refer to regarding whether specific things are okay or not. And even if you do inadvertently break rules, you'll be contacted on your talk page about it and given either an informal heads-up or an official warning: you have to do something really bad to get a block right off the bat. - Walkazo 18:29, 29 October 2014 (EDT)

Thank you so much, Walkazo! I'll take baby steps, but I'll edit articles to make them better. However, the Prince Peasley page need some work, because the first sentence has a bad case of Captain Obvious ("Prince Peasley is a prince..."). User:Madz the Penguin

Is This Forbidden?
I've recently read this edit and I'm wondering if that is against the rules and if he should be in grounds to be banned (he's got a last warning for this kind of behavior in the past btw) 15:45, 7 November 2014 (EST)

I made a mistake! Help!
Can you delete Category:Scientists? The proposal was to split Category:Doctors into two categories, and I accidentally did. Madz the Penguin (talk) 23:37, 12 November 2014 (EST)
 * Done. - Walkazo 12:00, 13 November 2014 (EST)

Regarding a ban
Hey, This is the User known as Mecha-Boss Unit. I was wondering exactly what the ban was about. From what it seems, I seem to be banned because I was sockpuppeting as Boss Unit. I would like to say that I was never Boss Unit. I can assure you of this. I never even knew of Boss Unit until it was brought to my attention. It seems you think I have other sockpuppet accounts, but if you don't mind, I would like an explanation. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
 * The IP addresses you have been using match all the ones Boss Unit and "his" many sockpuppets used. Even all these years later, the addresses still match. It was you all along, and you should just consider yourself lucky that we didn't think to scrutinize your transparent impersonation story from the start. - Walkazo 18:18, 16 November 2014 (EST)

Subpage
Can I make a subpage about my Fleepsa characters, or will I get blocked? Just wondering...

If not I'll put it in my user page.


 * Yeah, it's not allowed, and that subpage you have currently isn't allowed either, so if you could move the content to your userpage and mark that subpage for deletion asap, that's be great. - Walkazo 21:44, 17 November 2014 (EST)

Just a Little Question...
Do we help other Wikis around here? Because I was thinking about that Mario Wiki could help Le Miiverse Wiki not be biased or anything. You know, we could help change their guidelines a bit, because they say things like, "Admins are evil!" or, once in the Mariolover article, "...who complains about MK8 helmets ALL THE TIME!". They don't even consider it vandalism; when Mariolover tried to change it, they reverted the edit, and she got really angry. You guys might not even care, but that wiki has to learn from other wikis and stop honoring or hating things on their wiki. Should we help them or should we get out of their business? Madz the Penguin (talk) 12:44, 28 November 2014 (EST)


 * It's not our place to go marching into other wikis and tell them how to conduct their business. Nothing's stopping them from looking at other wikis and copying things they like (we've taken inspiration from wikipedia and other wikis ourselves). If they want help, they can ask for it, but outside of NIWA, using our own time and energy to help other dabases isn't part of our mandate, and even for our associates, whatever's done for them is still purely voluntary by the individual users going out of their way to do the helping. - Walkazo 14:00, 28 November 2014 (EST)

?
Ok. I understand. Just one question. If I did get a new username, would I keep personal images, or would they become public images?
 * You userpage gets moved to the new name, so unless you remove the PIs yourself, they stay yours. If you don't want the PIs anymore, however, it's better to mark them as abandoned or even put a delete template on them, rather than just taking them off your userpage. - Walkazo 15:49, 30 November 2014 (EST)

Maybe a range block or four would be a good idea.
Lets look at some recently blocked IP's.

This group of IP's all share the same beginning 50.117. and either 34. or 41. as the next number so they are very similar and that group needs a range block.
 * 50.117.34.207
 * 50.117.41.22
 * 50.117.41.224
 * 50.117.34.77
 * 50.117.34.243

This group of IP's shares the same beginning too with 205.164.59. so they should also get a range block.
 * 205.164.59.216
 * 205.164.59.77
 * 205.164.59.72
 * 205.164.59.188

Also similar.
 * 68.68.96.236
 * 68.68.96.130

Also similar.
 * 146.82.18.103
 * 146.82.18.184

also this list is outdated since more ips with addresses similar to those on this list have came in since I originally made this list which was copy pasted from an old message I made on Toa95's talk page which Toa95 had ignored and the ip's had continued to spam the pages.

22:03, 5 December 2014 (EST)


 * From the blocking policy: "range blocks should only be used when the disruptive behavior is frequent and severe enough to make other methods ineffective." Frequent? Yes. Severe? Not so much. They're just blanking and unblanking pages - it's not like they're posting profanities or whatever. And their IP range changes periodically, so a range block probably wouldn't even stop them for very long. Other admins might disagree, but I'm inclined to just wait it out, rather than risking too much collateral damage. They'll get bored before we do. Hell, I'd say don't even bother reverting the changes for them. - Walkazo 22:12, 5 December 2014 (EST)

Regarding Apple Juice
Apple Juice has made no edits to the wiki, even if I gave her a warning. She treats this website like Facebook. She's not inactive: I looked at her edits and she still goes on here. What should we do? Madz the Penguin (talk) 20:15, 8 December 2014 (EST)
 * If she (if the user is a she? I didn't see anything saying she is...) keeps editing her userpage a lot with no mainspace edits, she can get a full Warning. However, she's only edited once since you gave her the Userspace Reminder, and that's not nearly enough to bother her again (you can't give people warnings for not editing period). I've seen userspace abuse FAR more flagrant than her, so I wouldn't sweat it. - Walkazo 01:23, 9 December 2014 (EST)

98.116.184.69
This IP has done nothing but altered accurate release dates to random ones. I've double-checked most of the release dates, every one of the alteration has been incorrect. I've messaged them but they doesn't seem to listen. 20:28, 26 December 2014 (EST)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. They're blocked now. - Walkazo 20:50, 26 December 2014 (EST)

PLEASE DELETE ME!!!!!!
Hi I never use the wiki anymore. Is there ay way to delete or hide my userpage somehow?? Please!!
 * Thanks! Could you please delete me and my user sig now? Thank you SO much!

Autocomfirm
I have been a member for 4 days and I have made more than 5 edits, but I am not autoconfirmed. Why? Thanks in advance. 57sugoi (talk) 11:25, 1 January 2015 (EST)
 * The days count from the moment you joined, not the calendar date: you joined December 29, 2014, 01:38 GMT, so you won't be autoconfirmed until January 2, 2014, 01:38 GMT, which won't be for another 9 hours or so. - Walkazo 12:04, 1 January 2015 (EST)

Oh okay, thank you for informing me. 57sugoi (talk) 17:11, 1 January 2015 (EST)

Grinder/Ukiki
Hi Walkazo! Apologies for the delayed response, but if you think a full merge proposal for Grinder and Ukiki would work out, then I give you permission to eliminate the current rename proposal if it's not too late. Also, one more thing - not too long ago, I made my first archive for my own talk page. In hindsight, I established it prematurely since I kind of expected/hoped to give the page a clean slate for the new year, so would it be all right if I moved my newer discussions from the past weeks into Archive 1? I know that's probably a bit silly, but I figured I'd ask if that were possible. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:00, 5 January 2015 (EST)

Proposal Info
Hello Walkazo, I was told to notify everyone who voted here that the template design has recently been completely changed. This may or may not influence voters to change their opinion. Thanks, Andymii (talk) 21:05, 12 January 2015 (EST)

Re:Proper nouns
Uh, I guess I paid more attention to the "title must be capitalized the same way they are from the source" more than the "unless it is a proper noun" part, which I've either forgotten about or glanced over. I think the level title style ought to be preserved (I actually ran into a bit of unexpected trouble with a few of them and was about to ask for assistance in fixing the remaining ones), but it does look like this rule would revert the names of the bosses themselves... LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:35, 29 January 2015 (EST)
 * All right, so in accordance to the rules, I went ahead and made the changes to the boss names and some others. From what I understand (going by the Insect Repellent article as an example), this would mainly affect the title of the article, so I otherwise mostly left the pages alone. Some of the Talk Pages had issues with moving (Black jewel, Cave master, Giant bee and Giant spear man), but hopefully deleting the respective Black Jewel, Cave Master, Giant Bee and Giant Spear Man talk redirects should make it possible to correct that. That should be about it...
 * Also, if you don't mind and you're okay with the Wario Land II level titles, could I ask you to move a few more of them for me? I got blacklist errors with a couple, which I guess would be the combination of lowercase and use of exclamation points, and I'm not sure how that should be handled. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:14, 30 January 2015 (EST)

Cool. In that case, the articles that should be renamed are as follows:


 * Drop the anchor!!
 * Through the thorny maze!!
 * Up on the rooftop!!
 * Storm the castle!! (disambig, Invade Wario Castle & Syrup Castle versions)
 * Find the hidden door!!
 * To the castle!!
 * Go to the cellar!!
 * Find the exit!!
 * Defeat the cave master!!
 * Steal the Syrup's treasure!!

I also gave the multiple "Defeat the giant spear man" and "Stop that train!" articles identifers based on their chapter titles, as I find them to be more helpful and less confusing than the numerical ones. One each has a "Go to the cellar" identifier, which should be changed to "Go to the cellar!!" If you can, please do the same for the "Storm the castle!! articles. That should be all of them... LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:58, 30 January 2015 (EST)
 * Invade Wario Castle is accurate, and I agree this is bizarre, but so is Ruins at the Bottom of the sea (the game has a capital S for Syrup, so I don't know what happened there). The chapter titles aren't all uppercase, though, since there's also "Go to the cellar!!" (you can go ahead and change those last two article identifiers for "Defeat the giant spear man" and "Stop that train!" to match - I think I just needed a quick fix since I already began changing the other identifiers). I used a YouTube playthrough of the Game Boy Color version because I wasn't sure at first if the titles were adjusted from the original Game Boy release, but the text turned out to be identical. Outside of the remaining identifiers, that's it! LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:21, 30 January 2015 (EST)
 * Now, this is entirely speculation on my end - but perhaps the minimal editing in the first place was really a consequence of the game getting released Internationally over half a year before the Japanese version/color conversion? As for stealing the Syrup's treasure - maybe it was meant to be "Steal the Syrups' treasure, meaning that it was a Syrup family treasure? That's the impression I got, but I could be wrong... LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:03, 30 January 2015 (EST)
 * Upon closer inspection, I think the reason for "the Syrup's treasure" is this screen - in the Japanese version, it refers to the treasure as Syrup-tachi's (or "Syrup's group"). It looks like someone without the right story context simply confused the captain with the name of her gang, which isn't too uncommon a mistake. I'm not 100% sure how this got into the level name itself, but I did notice that the English version bolds the "Time Attack" part of the chapter scroll (clearly in place of the "Story" label), whereas the Japanese version puts it on the same line as the story title. That could be a mere localization change (either deliberately or accidentally), but it may be an indication that, given the release gap, the translated version was based on an earlier script that was slightly revised later. Though that's just using one small observation and shouldn't be taken as proof at all... LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2015 (EST)

Re: Subpages
The subpages you mentioned were all a part of my userpage before I pretty much cleared it. As for the header one, I'd be glad if you could delete that, since, like you said, I could just put the code onto my userpage if I wanted to use it. 09:53, 31 January 2015 (EST)

Capitalize "Attack fx b"
Today I changed the article "Attack fx b" from a redirect to a disambiguation page, following the convention of most double badge names. If what I did wan't wrong, the article name should be corrected as "Attack FX B", too. But "move" doesn't work. Do you know how to do that? Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 02:22, 26 February 2015 (EST)


 * You couldn't move the page because Attack FX B already existed as a disambig page (and only redirects can be overridden by users, iirc). So I just went ahead and manually changed Attack fx b to a redirect to the preexisting disambig page. - Walkazo 10:45, 26 February 2015 (EST)
 * Ah, thanks. I didn't know there was already an "Attack FX B" page there. Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 21:22, 26 February 2015 (EST)

Mario Party 7 vandalism
The Mario Party 7 article has been vandalize a lots. Can we protect the page? Some user change the name of characters.


 * It's only been vandalized a couple times today and it's pretty minor; if it continues and escalates, a temporary semiprotection might be in order, but it's unnecessary as things stand so far, imo. Thanks for letting me know about it either-way: I'll try to keep my eye on the page. - Walkazo 11:08, 3 March 2015 (EST)

New message
I left you two new messages on the Proposals page. 15:40, 4 March 2015 (EST)

Proposal
I am so, so sorry. Today's been disastrous for me, and I'm mentally wrecked. I'll go change it back.
 * Bleh, I even forgot to sign. I'd greatly appreciate any help you could give me, especially since my internet has decided that today is the perfect day to be sporadic.
 * I think my snail is dead, it took me forever just to load this page and I'm pretty sure this won't last. Hopefully, I can get this thing working again.
 * The wiki really doesn't want me to edit right now. I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll see much of me today.

Doki Doki Panic Images
After it was decided to remove the character pages, the individual artwork was moved to the main Doki Doki Panic article. However, are they necessary additions? Every image is cropped from here, so it seems to be a bit redundant. This has a good look at the rare artwork from the original manual that would be more relevant to the gallery (and also shows that this is a crop as well).

About Account settings
Good Evening! after reading the rules and the help page, i finally gather the information that i needed. According to the Block page i made a Level 3 Offense or so, it was due to a mistake , but i would like to know if that's enough to get my account banned , if it isn't then i would like to ask you , an admin , to block it. I read that sysops and such are the ones that have this function in their hands, so please i would really appreciate it if there is a way get my account blocked from this wiki. Thanks for reading!--Swiftie Luma (talk) 19:32, 16 March 2015 (EDT)

MobileFrontend proposal enforcment change
A while ago I made a proposal to include the MobileFrontend extension into the wiki software. Said proposal ended up being a failure. However according to Special:Version said extension is included. Can you change the archive to reflect this? Thanks in advance ExPower talk 16:27, 4 April 2015 (EDT)


 * Done. Thanks for the heads-up. - Walkazo 16:43, 4 April 2015 (EDT)

Templates
Do users can put templates in article that need it? Or, it's only the administrators?-- 11:45, 5 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Anyone can add templates to pages that need 'em. - Walkazo 11:56, 5 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Ok, thank you...-- 12:09, 5 April 2015 (EDT)

Other Languages
I'd seen a few articles already leave out the section, so I thought the reason was that it was redundant if there was only a name from a language. (Maybe, at least for foreign language-named articles, the section title can instead be replaced with something more broad, along the lines of simply "Etymology"? Just a suggestion.) Either way, my mistake; I'll take heed and not remove or try to readjust that particular section on my own anymore. LinkTheLefty (talk) 01:54, 10 April 2015 (EDT)

Can you please block or warning a user that not stop putting false information on article...-- 18:34, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
 * It's ok, Glowsquid block it...-- 18:38, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Proposal
If a proposal not passed, how time you need to wait before doing the same proposal after the first one? Because, this user do the same proposal again and I don't know if it's correct he did it a another time.-- 20:25, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
 * 28 days, so the proposal was a week early and I deleted it. - Walkazo 20:30, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
 * OK, thank you...-- 20:30, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Oh and by the way, if I want to cancelled my proposal, can I do it by my self or it need to be made by a administrators? Because, I wanted to cancelled this proposal.-- 20:34, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
 * TPPs can only by taken down by the proposer within the first three days of creation, or at any time if both the support and oppose sides have less than five votes; seeing as it's just barely over the 3-day mark and there's 5 opposes, you can't take it down yourself now, but I'll close it for you seeing as you've changed your mind. - 20:43, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
 * OK, I will know it for next time, thank you...-- 20:48, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Sorry about that, I misunderstood the rule. Binarystep (talk) 20:44, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Vandal
I found the IP 86.10.53.51 vandalizing the King Zing article (replacing "King" with "K1ng"). Binarystep (talk) 21:59, 13 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Messaging me when I'm offline is a bit of a crap shoot, but it just so happens that I got home (after being away from the computer all day) shortly after you said something and was able to block the guy before another admin wandered by - although by the looks of it, it's long after they got bored and wandered off themself, but ah well, at least they can't try it again, I s'ppose. - Walkazo 22:30, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

Move Big Bob-omb to King Bob-omb
The name King Bob-omb appear in the three most recent games that Big Bob-omb appear in, so can we move the page to King Bob-omb? It's also one of the policy of the wiki I think (If a name change, go with the most recent one).-- 16:34, 16 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Yeah, sounds legit. But for the record, if you're unsure about a name change, you can also put on the article's talk page to get feedback, rather than contacting admins directly - unless it's to actually ask us to move the page for you, which I can do for you, but it'll be up to you to update the links accordingly. - Walkazo 16:39, 16 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Ah, ok, I understand. Thank you!-- 11:55, 17 April 2015 (EDT)

Can you move the page for me please? I don't know too much how to do it. It could help me for the next time.-- 17:05, 17 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Done. There's a "move" tab on the page - click that and then type the new name in the appropriate box. If there's a page with the title already, you will not be able to make the move - unless it is a redirect without a delete template, in which case, I believe the wiki will allow you to overwrite the redirect (but if you add the template, it stops functioning as a redirect and blocks the move). I updated the Gallery page and the templates that linked to the page, but there are many links on other articles needing to be updated. I will leave them to you. - Walkazo 20:09, 17 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Thank you, I will made the links now...-- 21:43, 17 April 2015 (EDT)

About Snifit Police...
There's actually been a little digging in the comments, and while Mario Party 2 still has Snifits and not Snufits, it turns out that the name that the Virtual Console version uses is Snifit Patrol and not Snifit Police. So there's a small conundrum with the current proposal - is it fine the way it is (since I think the focus is more on the fact that they're Snifits), should it be revised due to the Patrol difference, or is it better to just skip the confusion, drop the proposal, and make the move via naming policy?

About my proposal...
Hi, Walkazo. Now that my proposal has passed, do we need ask their permission to have their template, or we can just give credit? And can we just copy it or we have to write it our own way? 16:23, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
 * As long as we give credit, it should be fine. Also, we're not copying everything - just the template itself, not the how-to stuff, which we should write ourselves. - Walkazo 16:26, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Ah, ok. Thank you. 16:41, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

Prima map removal in pages
Hey there! I helped you with this project about losing Prima images in articles! Burningdragon25 (talk) 16:28, 26 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Next time, ask permission first, as it's considered discourteous to jump into someone else's editing project without asking them if they're okay with that. Usually, I personally don't like it when people "snipe" my edits, but in this case, I care more about getting this project done asap and don't mind that some edits were done for me. - Walkazo 16:45, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

Japanese Names
Hello, Walkazo! As you've probably noticed, I've been busy creating and polishing articles on the Paper Mario badges, which includes copying foreign names from the List of badge names in other languages. Considering your comment on my talk page, I was hoping you could answer my question: to use the All or Nothing badge as an example, its Japanese name in Paper Mario is listed as "ichi ka bachī ka" (イチカバチーカ), while in TTYD, it's listed as "Ichikabachiika" (イチカバチーカ). I don't know much about Japanese, to be honest, but even though the characters in both names seem to be the same, the romanizations have different spacing. Is this just a different in opinion on romanizing the names, or is there a specific reason for it? Also, if you're not busy, would it be possible for you to insert some of the translations for the badges on their articles, considering my lack of knowledge and whatnot? Either way, I would appreciate any help you could give me!
 * Japanese doesn't have spaces between words, but when romanized, spaces should be added to amke it easier to read and process - but obviously you can't do that when you don't speak the language, hence so many romanizations are missing the spaces (and/or people don't know/care to do it right). The "ichikabachiika" example has the added problem of the elongated in vowel being romanized incorrectly by being doubled rather than using a macron, although it is correct in uppercasing the first letter. Not all websites use uppercase since, like the space thing, Japanese itself doesn't have cases, but we decided to use capitalization around here for proper names - discounting particles and honourifics, that is (Japanese has more info). Anyway, I'd love to help with translations; unfortunately I'm really busy with RL stuff between now and the 7th, and my work computer (from which I do most editing binges these days, between customers) can't display Japanese characters, so it might be a while before I can get around to very much, but I'll definitely put it on my to-do list. But in the meantime, if you ever have specific questions, like about "ichi ka bachī ka"'s inconsistency, feel free to ask right away and I'll try to answer asap. - Walkazo 22:27, 29 April 2015 (EDT)

Changing Username
I was trying to change my username but I think I did something wrong. Do I need to create another account to change my username or do I just leave it be? 22:24, 8 May 2015 (EDT)
 * No, never create multiple accounts. Just post requests on Changing username, like you did, and then wait patiently for a 'Crat to rename you, as I just did. We can't be online 24/7, so usually users have to wait a few hours after posting your requests to have them granted. - Walkazo 23:26, 8 May 2015 (EDT)

Thank you so much! 23:31, 8 May 2015 (EDT)

Regarding Italian Translations
Particularly these three - I quickly got in touch with Gabumon, and he basically said he'd be fine with removing the Italian translations since he replied he may not have been referring to an official source at the time. (Also, regarding dashes in translation boxes the other day - just to clarify, it's only used when there is direct katakana or otherwise close spelling, right? I don't think there's a formal rule in policy about it, so I think I might have misunderstood when it should be used this whole time...) LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:25, 19 May 2015 (EDT)
