Welcome back!
I saw a few moments ago that you want to work now on the bestiary of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Welcome back! I was worried when you disappeared so abruptly.--Mister Wu (talk) 20:08, 30 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Thanks! Yeah, I just grew bored with editing the wiki before and moved on to other things. With the new game out, I got really invigorated to put together the bestiary, so I logged back in here.-- 23:00, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

Hello! I know my edit here ended up messing things up, but is there a way to stop that from showing up on articles? -- 17:03, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I don't believe so. It's set up that way for all the enemy templates. Can you show me on what article its showing up?-- 17:13, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
 * It shows up on the articles with the vertical version of the template, such as MegaDragonBowser. While it could just be my iPad, it doesn't happen for the other enemy templates. -- 18:03, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
 * So, since removing the leftover |} broke the template, I added a {| to the beginning of the template and that appears to have fixed the problem. I checked the pages with the vertical template, and nothing seems out of the ordinary. 18:28, 6 September 2017 (EDT)

Collaboration project?
Hi, since you've returned, perhaps we could do a collaboration project where we work on the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle levels? I tried contacting Alex95, but he doesn't have a copy of the game, and therefore cannot properly write up information on the levels. My comment to him was as follows: Hi, I know you're currently creating articles for Super Mario Bros. levels, but is it possible for us to work on the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle levels together? I mean, we did do well in collaborating on creating the Super Mario Galaxy 2 missions, and besides, the level layout in Mario + Rabbids is pretty overwhelming in and of itself, so I want to see how YOU would do it! (Two is better than one in this case!) Additionally, my plan is to do the levels of the even worlds, while you would do the levels of the odd worlds. What do you say? So are you up for it? 01:28, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I mean, probably yeah. I was thinking about it already, figuring out how the battle maps could be displayed as a table and all, but that was about all I was thinking of.-- 19:57, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Then would it hurt to display a draft of the table setup on either my talk page or yours? 20:08, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
 * We need to find a way to accurately convert an excel table to a mediawiki table, preserving the cell sizes, borders, colors, etc. for this to work.-- 23:28, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Here's a bit of a mockup I did. I think I covered all the parts of the maps. https://imgur.com/a/rn6Qh -- 01:01, 8 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Looks pretty good! This format is definitely something I could get behind. Be sure to inform me (or someone else) when you finish those maps so that we can start creating articles on the levels in the game. ;) 15:45, 8 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Alright. I'll keep working on them but in return you need to find some way to convert them as I mentioned. There's too much going on with the tables to make them with code by hand on the wiki, so Excel is the only option for making the tables first. Unless we can get permission to upload screenshots of the tables instead.-- 22:41, 8 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Hmmm...that sounds easy enough. Why not try making it table format? I'll send in a draft once I'm finished with it. 23:42, 8 September 2017 (EDT)
 * "Why not try making it table format" What do you mean? And I honestly think our best best is to get permission to upload images of the excel sheet.-- 00:52, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Don't worry, I've realized my mistake by now. Clearly wasn't thinking it through. Yeah, I think we should try uploading them as screenshots. 01:04, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Go get the necessary permissions for this. I'm of course assuming we need it.-- 01:19, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

Yo. While I may not be able to help with the description of articles, I can help with the table-based map. Putting together a map chart using wiki table syntax shouldn't be difficult for me to put together. I just need to know what to put in it. As for the image, yeah uploading an image of the Excel sheet may not...look great. Second option, is there an in game map of some kind that can be used, like a minimap? 22:19, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I'd much prefer to be the one making the maps. However, if you can easily recreate the maps quickly and accurately, then by all means give it a whirl. If not, screenshots are the best bet. Making the tables by code manually will take far too long, especially given the size of the maps. Also, there is no minimap so I have to analyze the map manually by moving through it.-- 01:39, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
 * A template of some kind is the first thing that comes to mind, so the different parameters can be adjusted to make a map. There are plenty of variables to take into account, though, and going off of the image linked to above, there may be more than a template is able to handle precisely. The different pipe directions and character placements would especially be troublesome... Not impossible, though. Why don't you make a finalized version of a map image and I'll show it to the others and come to a decision on that? 08:36, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
 * How's this? https://imgur.com/aMWrPM1 It's the map of World 1 5-1.-- 15:51, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
 * That looks pretty neat! I'll run it by the staff and see what they have to say. 15:55, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Okay, so, the images can be uploaded, as long as they're kept simple like that and don't have any unnecessary enhancements or other details. A legend should also be included. Should an official map be created, then the images should be reuploaded. 11:34, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * That's awesome! could you be more specific about "simple", "unnecessary enhancements", or "other details"?-- 19:15, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * "Simple" meaning how you have it currently. No need to add any backgrounds, random character images, etc. to make the image "more visually appealing". Just simply show what you need to and it'll be fine :) 19:49, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I will likely make all the maps before posting anything, that way any changes I make to the format later down the line can be applied.-- 20:04, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Alright, I finished the maps for Ancient Gardens, except for the Challenges. Might do those later on? Idk, but I uploaded the images of the maps.-- 15:26, 13 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Yeah, they look pretty good, but um... Uploading them all at once will leave them unused until the article is created. Might've been best to upload them during or after the article's creation, imo. 15:45, 13 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Ah, yeah. Fair point.-- 15:47, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

File correction
Hi, could you please make a correction to this file and remove Ziggy from the legend, as they don't appear in that area? Thanks!

P.S.: How are the Sherbet Desert maps coming along? 01:30, 17 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Oh, sure thing. You can find it right HERE. I haven't started on the Sherbet Desert yet. The maps take some time to do, given their size, and the fact I have to replay levels to do them all. Of course, as I'm typing this I've just realized I could run through the worlds now and map them, and check out enemy/hero placement using let's plays. Anyways, please pardon my sass above. Saw an opportunity for a joke and took it. Idk what you mean. -- 01:42, 17 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Oops, I meant THIS file! 19:02, 17 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Okay, It's all fixed, for real now. Just a suggestion, maybe don't put the maps in a gallery on those pages, instead have them full sized.-- 18:36, 18 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I'll resume making maps by the end of the week. I need to focus on my finals.-- 18:37, 18 September 2017 (EDT)
