Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition

 * I thought that the name "Bowser and His Minions" was a PAL exclusive name, since the term "Koopalings" is never used in the PAL region games. Sorry if the edits that I've made didn't follow the game's coding. 12:43, 17 April 2016 (EDT)

Bowser's Inside Story edits
Hi Zootaloo, if you're wondering why I stated that Broque Bowser Broggy and Midbus aren't bosses, because you know how for those guys it just plays the normal battle music as a pose to the boss music. The Prima Guide marks them off as enemies. Fawful's Minion 20:33, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

Miiverse Screenshots
Just to let you know, Miiverse screenshots are in the JPEG format. Converting them to PNG doesn't increase quality but rather increases file size because the artifacts that JPEGs have are preserved when converted to PNGs. It might make things easier for MarioWiki so someone can supply a properly sampled image later, but that is the only benefit that only applies to Wikis. PNGs, if saved from a raw source (like a bitmap), do not exhibit artifacts because a PNG is just a bitmap with a lossless compression algorithm applied to it. JPEGs do cleverer compression techniques at the cost of losing pixel detail. More info -- 18:00, 4 May 2016 (EDT)

Mario & Luigi bestiary edits
The edit you just did on the bestiary of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time bestiary is classified as opinion, on Nintendo's official site, it states they're mini-bosses and the real bosses are found at the end of each area and have a gimmick to them. This wiki is meant to be an encyclopaedia, not a walkthrough or strategy guide. 23:29, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
 * I undid my edit on it. 06:11, 7 May 2016 (EDT)

An unofficial congratulations
The picture PMTTYDHiddenBlocks9R.png, which you uploaded on June 25, 2015, has been used to replace a lower-quality screenshot in the 43th issue of the 'Shroom: Congratulations! 22:57, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

An unofficial barnstar
I should have given this to you a long time ago, since I had already recognized that you're doing a lot of good work to the tables and bestiarys and whatnot in the wiki, so I feel like I should do something, especially since your edits aren't really recognized in the past. So here you go I guess. I'm sorry for being a bit awkward, but there's nothing more I can do to show my appreciation for your contributions other than this. Please, keep contributing to the wiki, and keep up the hard work! 19:35, 17 May 2016 (EDT)

PNG Monster
File:Green Gnarantula.png and File:Red Gnarantula.png were at 18KB for such dimensionally small PNGs. That seemed very odd to me so I used PNG Monster to apply the best compression algorithm to them. PNG Monster said it reduced both of them down to 2.09% of its original file size. It may not seem like much but this reduces server strain and page load times. Under optimized PNGs add up over time. It's more fair for those who don't have as good download speeds. I use it a lot when I upload PNGs. -- 18:11, 9 June 2016 (EDT)

Stats
There shouldn't be an issue with including them, as long as the stats can be verified or cited. I can't really speak for the other two users, though, so you'd want to talk to Fawful's Minion and Madbird about the specifics behind their information.

Plural Redirects
Please stop creating plural redirects. We don't need them. To pluralize links, add an 's' at the end ( Lakitus becomes Lakitus). -- 18:31, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
 * OK, check in with an administrator about this. -- 19:53, 2 July 2016 (EDT)
