MarioWiki talk:Glossary

Could we someday make this section again? This time I promise it won't fail.

We have terms like Shroobified, Game Over, Level Up...heck we have almost all of them in Terms List. \

So can we make this go back to life? Paper Jorge
 * Would this be a list page or would it describe the terms a little bit? If the former, we should just link to the Terms category, if the latter, we should try again. 16:03, 9 January 2007 (EST)

Possible Name Issue...
I was thinking... Most people who look up "Glossary" are probably thinking about the enemy log thingie in Super Princess Peach. --YellowYoshi398 21:33, 13 February 2007 (EST)
 * I suggest creating Glossary (Super Princess Peach), and putting a note at the top of this page linking to that. 21:35, 13 February 2007 (EST)

Shouldn't?
Shouldn't this be MarioWiki:Glossary?
 * Yes. Why don't you ask Cobold to change it?  He's on as far as I know right now.  15:48, 1 February 2008 (EST)
 * I move it.
 * Thanks, Grapes. That was long overdue.  02:03, 15 November 2008 (EST)
 * Your welcome.

Abbreviations
Shouldn't the full names mentioned in the entries for abbreviations also be in bold? For example, should the current RPG entry be "RPG: Short for Role Playing Game..." or should "Role Playing Game" remain plain? - 22:58, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Too Precise?
Must we really put ALL the name's of the games that have a world 1-1?
 * We could create a disambiguation page for "World 1-1"/"1-1" and put that information on there, but yes, we do want that information somewhere for completeness. If you'd like to copy and paste the information here and then delete the information, that would be fine - then, when I'm under less pressure, I can take care of those articles.  18:21, 14 December 2008 (EST)
 * Maybe we should make a seperate page for the List of Levels. Including definitions on this page for "1-1" through "1-Tower", but not for any of the other worlds' levels seems odd. However, including all the levels on the glossary page would take up way to much space and detract from the other words' definitions. Plus, the level entries that are up are mind-numbingly repetative: "x-y is the xth level in the yth world of the Super Mario Bros platformers..." could easily be converted into a chart. One column's header would explain that unless otherwise stated (as in "1-Tower"), the names mean world-level; the other column would be for the games that level appears in. Once that's done, the article could even be expanded to list the non-numerically-titled levels: each game would have a section (with sub-sections for worlds), where the levels would be listed from first to last (to bonus). Here is what that part of the article would look like. - 23:24, 14 December 2008 (EST)
 * Of course it seems odd: the glossary is incomplete by about 90%, if not more. I have no opinion on the matter - if you have a better way to do it, it's up to you.  00:11, 15 December 2008 (EST)
 * I could set up a Levels Page, just give me a few weeks to work on it on my computer (I hate posting half-finished projects on mainspace). - 20:54, 15 December 2008 (EST)
 * That's just fine. I'm open to anything we can do to improve this page.  21:43, 15 December 2008 (EST)

Namespace
Shouldn't this be in the mainspace since its about Mario? Yoshario'''
 * I support that

This place is a craphole. I mean, stuff that is not MAIN to the series is on it, like 1-Chance Badge...or "Rare" Collectible Figurine...

REWRITE THIS STUPID PAGE ALREADY!!!
Come on, my proposal to rewrite this won 14-0! This place is so stupid. I MEAN ON THE MAIN PAGE IT SAYS IT HAS MARIO TERMS (Which it should NOT have and is useless anyway), AND ON THE HELP PAGE IT SAYS IT PROVIDES USEFUL WIKI TERMS! REWRITE THIS STUPID, USELESS PIECE OF GARBAGE SOMETIME IN THE NEXT MILLENIUM, PLEASE (I would do it but I think it would look better if a Sysop did it because everyone trusts them and also I am not familiar with many of the terms either).
