Please refrain from posting lots of images. I used to answer messages on others' talk pages but I found out it makes following/referencing past conversations more trouble than it should be, so I will answer all messages here. Thanks.

Questionable username
I'm not sure if this would count as an unacceptable username. Could you look into it please? Thanks. 13:06, 18 December 2015 (EST)
 * Hmmm... I'm a bit on the fence about it, I'll ask for input from the other admins. -- 14:04, 18 December 2015 (EST)

MarioWiki:Everybody is equal
I'm wondering if we can create a project page claiming that every user, whether new or long-lasting, is treated equally amongst each other, and are just as valuable as one another. Drilly  the   Elfhog  02:43, 21 December 2015 (EST)
 * Hello! That's a very good principle, but I feel creating a specific page to mention it is not entirely necessary, given it's mentioned here, here, and it would classify as common sense as well. -- 10:59, 21 December 2015 (EST)
 * I see, as long as they mention something like "Administrators are not kings and queens, and can still be penalized in the same way as normal users should they ever violate the regulations.". Drilly   the   Elfhog  12:16, 21 December 2015 (EST)

RE:Uploads
Thanks! I try to help out wherever I can! I'm also occasionally finding duplicates and end up reusing assets while tagging the inferior images to be deleted. One such instance was Rainbow Note and File:Shrinking_Tiles.PNG. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 18:59, 22 December 2015 (EST)

Deletion of Green Space (Mario Party 9) redirect
I remove all what's linking to this redirect. The only one remaining is from Toa 95's page, but I'm not allowed to remove it.-- 17:59, 28 December 2015 (EST)
 * Perfect, thanks! -- 18:02, 28 December 2015 (EST)

The 'Shroom Images
I noticed you and a few other admins have been untagging images for deletion if they are used for The 'Shroom. I get that this decision is made to preserve older issues of The 'Shroom but I tag them for deletion because if you look at MediaWiki Categories, they appear as duplicates because they have been categorized as such, such as Category:Super Paper Mario Images and Category:Mario Kart DS Images for examples. I was hoping an admin would make minor changes to The 'Shroom articles that used the outdated image to use the more up-to-date image. This has mostly been occurring with PNGs that used to be GIFs or JPEGs. Should I instead just remove the categorization for the outdated images so they won't be thought of as accidental duplicates? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 21:39, 28 December 2015 (EST)
 * There's no harm in keeping the outdated images in the older issues. Yes, the best would be to remove other categories form such images so that they don't show up twice. Thanks for all the work, it's very valuable to our wiki! -- 22:44, 28 December 2015 (EST)
 * Thanks for clarifying and adopting my idea. The only harm I see with the older image is using up server storage space. It just felt awkward to have two similar image pages be existing at the same time or even showing up in the category. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 00:19, 29 December 2015 (EST)
 * I believe server space is not an issue at the moment (though I could be wrong), so no need to worry about that now. If there are way too many images that fall in this scenario you can tag them with the Requested for Deletion template and I'll be sure to change the 'Shroom sections before deleting, but let's go with keeping both for the time being. -- 00:24, 29 December 2015 (EST)

Your signature
You didn't change the link in your signature yet; it still leads to User:Tucayo and User talk:Tucayo instead of you-know-what-they-should-be. I know Tucayo still redirects to Henry Tucayo Clay, but I'm just pointing it out. Drilly  the   Hedgehog  18:17, 29 December 2015 (EST)
 * It's not like it made any difference, as it still followed rule #2 on Signature. -- 18:46, 29 December 2015 (EST)

Thanks!
I contacted Pi about that vandal, but you seem to have taken care of it before him. Thanks for blocking them and thanks for hiding that edit on my talk page!
 * No problem, I'm glad to help! Pi probably had Recent Changes on Auto-refresh and was on another tab or AFK, it has happened to me. -- 23:35, 29 December 2015 (EST)

Other languages name
Salut ! I was editing the Lumacomète article, and I was wondering what's the wiki policy for the "Names in other languages" table if the article is named after an official non-English source. Should I add the French name in the table? Seems a bit redundant, but then again, why not? Cheers. 14:01, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * Salut! It's not explicitly stated but other articles do so, so sure, it should be added since it's still a foreign name. -- 14:04, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * All right then. Thanks! 14:08, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * So I guess the reference itself should also be on the table, rather than in the introduction? 14:13, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * For this I see it better to have the reference on the introduction, as it's the first mention of the name in the main body of the article and would be more useful there. -- 14:15, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * This is my opinion as well, actually. I looked through a few entries in here, and the reference location is pretty inconsistent. I'll edit those articles. 14:22, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * Ok, thanks! -- 14:24, 30 December 2015 (EST)

It seems that quite a few of these articles are actually named after translations of official Japanese names; however I can't always tell if it's a translation or a romanization. I know that the wiki policy is to use English names when the Japanese is loaning English words, but I don't speak Japanese. Do you think articles like Armored Stinger, Balloon Bridge, Bat (Donkey Kong), Beam Robota, etc. have proper titles? 14:49, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * I'm sorry, I can't give a proper answer on that :/ Maybe a post here could be answered by someone who speaks Japanese. -- 15:43, 30 December 2015 (EST)
 * I will. Thanks for your help! 16:21, 30 December 2015 (EST)

Zombienom
Very sorry about that. I missinderstood, also I have not heard about Super Mario Flash before. I was also trying to explain to him that he indeed needs to wait four days before making an article. Anyways, my apologies. 23:44, 1 January 2016 (EST)
 * Don't worry about it! Thanks for explaining him about the four days :) -- 23:46, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Wow, that was fast.
While I was trying to undo vandal edits, you just came in to undo these edits.. Glad you just came in time, Tucayo! CSR 14:12, 2 January 2016 (EST)
 * Heh, I always keep an eye on Recent Changes to spot any vandalism right away. Good to know you were also ready to undo it :) -- 14:14, 2 January 2016 (EST)
 * Watch out, Tucayo. It seems vandal under your name has appeared. CSR Lady_Bow_PM2.pngBoo-piranha.jpg 17:24, 2 January 2016 (EST)
 * Sounds like he's been on the wiki before. Golden   Yoshi  Blue Toad Artwork - New Super Luigi U.png 17:27, 2 January 2016 (EST)
 * I think that vandal with numerous edits with inappropriate words is a same person. Yup, that's just an imbecile person ranting in this wiki. CSR Lady_Bow_PM2.pngBoo-piranha.jpg 17:29, 2 January 2016 (EST)
 * Yup, just a random vandal sockpuppeting to evade his ban. -- 18:53, 2 January 2016 (EST)
 * This douche monkey is just too persistent; fun fact: he copied your name in leetspeak. I know I shouldn't resort to personal attacks, even to vandals, but he's just someone who deliberately wants to mess around by creating multiple accounts to help him do the job, which only gets him into trouble by people like you, RandomYoshi, Walkazo, Lindsay, etc. (for the case of H3nry Tuc4y0 C14y, it was Yoshi876). Also, consider doing a range block in case something is suspicious; I suggest going back and performing CheckUser on the previous blocked users.


 * @Csrspirit Also, Tucayo is an admin, so he has rollback powers, so of course he's supposed to be fast, since he does this with just one click. Drilly   the   Hedgehog  20:43, 2 January 2016 (EST)
 * Every single blocked user is checked, don't worry about that. -- 11:23, 3 January 2016 (EST)

Deletion Mistake!
You were supposed to delete File:WarioWoodsBOL.gif not File:WarioWoodsBOL.png! --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 00:00, 4 January 2016 (EST)
 * I fixed it for ya. - 00:46, 4 January 2016 (EST)
 * Thanks! --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 00:49, 4 January 2016 (EST)
 * Whoops, my bad, sorry!! -- 11:07, 4 January 2016 (EST)
 * All is forgiven. We all make silly mistakes sometimes. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 15:36, 4 January 2016 (EST)

Vandal
There was a vandal name "SquidSketch", can you block him. I also propose to protected the page "Waluigi Stadium (GCN), I look on the page history and there was a lot of vandalism on this page.-- 21:58, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Done, thanks for the heads-up. As for the article, I protected it again, turns out the previous protection had already expired. -- 22:10, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Sorry, this is a bit unrelated (but requires your protection powers), but could you protect this article until the release of the day of my birthday February 18, 2016, the day Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS) release in Japan? There's a persistent vandal who keeps adding false information in the article. 22:16, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Done. -- 22:22, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Sandbox Policy?
I would like to create a sandbox for myself located User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox. What is MarioWiki's policy regarding sandboxes for personal user creation, kind of like ? I see User:RAP/PNG for example. -- 22:00, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Per this page, you can have "Subpages that serve the wiki (These can include drafts for proposals, test templates, and miscellaneous works in progress.)". Sandboxes fit under this so you are free to have your personal sandbox(es). -- 22:10, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Thanks. I couldn't find that information. -- 22:15, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Check out what I created. User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox. I don't think any page like it exists on the wiki. -- 22:42, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Wow, there is indeed quite a difference between both images. I don't upload images often but it's good to know. -- 22:47, 9 January 2016 (EST)
 * Sorry I didn't reply to this. Some people RE: on the opposite user's talk pages while others just directly reply to the talk page like you did. Anyways, thank you. I added a few more details with how to take the best possible screenshots using an N64 emulator of some kind, specifically with the Glide64 rendering plug-in. I was wondering about Template:Mariowiki-image and how it works; can my tutorial page and images qualify for that template instead of being used as a Template:Personal-image? -- 00:08, 15 January 2016 (EST)
 * Sorry about that, I used to reply on the opposite user's talk page but that makes reading old discussions a hassle. Let me check with the other admins on that and I'll get back to you. -- 10:56, 15 January 2016 (EST)
 * Both methodologies have pros and cons. Anyways, I hope to hear back soon. -- 16:10, 15 January 2016 (EST)
 * I suspect we both forgot about this. Any updates? -- 17:11, 2 February 2016 (EST)
 * We got entertained with other stuff but it's still being discussed. -- 23:26, 2 February 2016 (EST)
 * I made appropriate edits unless we didn't communicate effectively. You are welcome to edit the page to get it to look more approvable by MarioWiki staff. -- 16:10, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Looks good. One question, though. What is the purpose of this section? -- 16:34, 4 February 2016 (EST)
 * I made quite a few changes to the page and it needs a look. I was trying to give examples of N64 games where 640x480 is supported. The only game covered by MarioWiki is Donkey Kong 64 and 64DD games (in theory, but I have no idea if N64 emulation can emulate 64DD). -- 18:27, 4 February 2016 (EST)
 * Alright, it looks good. I scrapped the other NIWA-only games as they wouldn't be relevant for the page and I added italics to all titles. About the missing files, are they files we can obtain easily or is it a wait-and-see-if-someone-uploads-them kind of thing? -- 23:08, 4 February 2016 (EST)
 * I requested an image by as she has Super Mario Strikers and can upload high quality screenshots, such as File:MKWii - Blue Fake Item Box glitch.png. As for Wii U, I am having a hard time finding good images to demonstrate each resolution. I'm not using Super Mario Maker press images for the 1280x720 and 1920x1080 examples because they are pre-release images. I kind of want to keep it like one of our editors took and uploaded the screenshot. -- 23:36, 4 February 2016 (EST)
 * OK, sounds good. We'll hold on until we have the Strikers image and then we'll see what to do with the Wii U. -- 23:38, 4 February 2016 (EST)
 * You wouldn't happen to know anyone on the forum that can capture 720p or 1080p PNG images from their Wii U via HDMI or has their Wii U GamePad hardmodded to intercept the video signal for screenshot capture? Maybe we can solve the problem that way. -- 00:02, 5 February 2016 (EST)
 * I'll ask. -- 10:53, 5 February 2016 (EST)
 * supplied the image I was looking for (and I also used it elsewhere where applicable). Now I am waiting for Wii U PNGs, if we can find/upload them. -- 20:02, 5 February 2016 (EST)
 * Alright, let's wait for a while to see if we can get them. I'll try to look around. -- 23:35, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Undelete
Can you undelete File:ToyDreamStory.jpg, it is a different version of the board, found exclusively in the Story Mode of the game.-- 16:27, 18 January 2016 (EST)
 * Done. I missed your edit since I had the file already open on my browser. -- 16:31, 18 January 2016 (EST)
 * ugh, why does this happen every time, thank you for doing that before you even read my message.-- 16:32, 18 January 2016 (EST)
 * No problem :) and don't worry, it's always better to leave a message since if Recent Changes had refreshed faster, I wouldn't have noticed it was untagged. -- 16:34, 18 January 2016 (EST)

BR
I started a new conversation on s talk page. I need some input. -- 17:24, 18 January 2016 (EST)

'Shroom Images Appearing in Special:UnusedFiles
I've been thinking about this for a while. I know not to mark 'Shroom images for deletion but so they stop showing up in Special:UnusedFiles, would it be OK to create an archival page of some sort for all 'Shroom images that appear to be going unused? That way we can make room for files not 'Shroom-related to show up in Special:UnusedFiles?
 * If you link me to them I can make a gallery in my user page and they won't show up anymore. Or alternatively I can talk to the Staff about creating something like The 'Shroom:Archive/images. -- 17:19, 19 January 2016 (EST)
 * That would take too long. I've seen a lot. I was thinking of using a MediaWiki search through Category:Shroom images and have MediaWiki list the ones that are going unused. Not sure how to go about doing that but I'm sure it can be done. -- 17:29, 19 January 2016 (EST)
 * Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. -- 18:26, 19 January 2016 (EST)
 * I guess the best method is to create 23 pages worth of The 'Shroom:Archive/images (2216 right now) for Category:Shroom images:
 * The 'Shroom:Archive/images/1
 * The 'Shroom:Archive/images/2
 * The 'Shroom:Archive/images/...
 * The 'Shroom:Archive/images/23
 * The 23rd page will be the starting place for future 'Shroom Images and new pages will be created once 23rd fills up. That way the images are guaranteed to be used at least once, freeing up slots in Special:UnusedImages. Of course we can work on how many images per page if 100 is too many. I already have all files logged into a text file on my computer to make this very easy to create. Does that sound like a good plan? -- 22:50, 19 January 2016 (EST)
 * I'd have to run this by the rest of the Staff to see if this would be something worth putting our time and effort on. -- 23:23, 19 January 2016 (EST)
 * Is there a thread I can follow? -- 15:48, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * No, sorry, this is being discussed privately. -- 15:51, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * Hearing the news about our archive suggestion being rejected has got me curious what the solution could ultimately be. Two things are coming to mind how the solution will take shape. The first idea is that MarioWiki will get a set-up similar to that of Wikimedia Commons. Another idea is that there will be a Wiki dedicated to just The 'Shroom, freeing up MarioWiki. -- 22:44, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * To be honest I think these two are way too drastic for something that is not actually a problem. If there is a much simpler solution that doesn't require a massive overhaul, we can work on that. I'll ask around to see if somehow a template could make images bypass Special:UnusedFiles. -- 22:53, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * This could help, but you'd have to run that by . -- 22:59, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * The simplest way is still the archive page way with my text file of all 2,216 files ready to go (preferably a gallery setup), but that was rejected unless you can put the images in new pages for your own personal use. Simpler would be a way to search through Category:Shroom images for the ones that aren't being used and take only those files to put into an archive (less files essentially but unsure how many that is), but you don't know how to go about doing that, if anyone else knows, or it is even possible. Supposedly is a self-proclaimed expert with MediaWiki. Maybe he can help with our dilemma. Also that MediaWiki help page you suggested could be another alternative if  approves. The only down side I can potentially see is that all unused images have a category for them. Note that images in Special:UnusedFiles are not showing up Special:UncategorizedFiles. -- 23:08, 20 January 2016 (EST)

This is apparently way more trouble than I thought it would have been. You can just ignore the 'Shroom images and proceed with the rest of the Unused Files, no need to overcomplicate things to free up less than 5% of the Unused Files list. -- 23:15, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * I honestly thought this problem would get solved with relative ease with pages to link them to force them out of Special:UnusedFiles. -- 23:29, 20 January 2016 (EST)

A note from one of the core 'Shroom staff; we're not doing the Archive thing, and a few obviously not-unused 'Shroom images in the category should really not be a huge problem. There is no benefit to having a massive Archive, and it's just excessive work on us for no gain, so I'm afraid we won't be doing that. -Crocodile Dippy (talk) 23:17, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * But an unknown number of them are showing up in Special:UnusedFiles (not the same as Category:URL-linked images). The ones I am seeing in the special page are not marked with . Marking them as such doesn't solve the original problem. I find it kind of annoying I am seeing Photoshopped versions of boxart for The 'Shroom as I go through. I keep mistaking these as duplicates of images used in the regular pages when they are clearly not when you click on the file link. -- 23:29, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * Well then that's your problem, isn't it? It's not that hard to determine what is and isn't the real deal amongst those images, bruh. -Crocodile Dippy (talk) 23:35, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * Also, in all honesty, Wildgoosespeeder, it's the 'Shroom staff's right to do as they please with their images, and it's inappropriate for you to continue pushing at this point. No one is forcing you to even go through the unused images, so if their few Shroom-tagged files are that much of an annoyance to you, maybe you should stop and find another project to do instead, because fixating on non-issues like not-unused images is more of a hindrance than a help. - 23:44, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * Yeah, I should put this topic down for now because it isn't going anywhere at this point. I'll continue to put up with the issue unless other people have something to say or if the extreme were to happen and that were to be that too many 'Shroom images show up in the unused files list. The only people potentially concerned with it right now are me,, and . -- 23:57, 20 January 2016 (EST)

MLSS tutorial images.
So, earlier this year, User:Yoshi876 removed many screenshots from the Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga special moves : Splash Bros., Knockback Bros., Chopper Bros., Swing Bros., Bounce Bros., Fire Bros., Cyclone Bros., Thunder Bros.. Because it fell under the strategy part. Unfortunately, that means that a lot of images went unused, I didn't want to tag them all with delete, because I'm still not 100% sure that they are completely unneeded, so I decided to ask you if you have any opinions on that matter, otherwise, if you have time, please delete them.


 * I'll ask from input for the other admins, I think they are along the line of what is strategy and what isn't. -- 18:26, 19 January 2016 (EST)


 * Ok thanks, and if it is possible, can you look back at the deleted revisions of File:CoasterWorld1.JPG, just to see what it was replaced with? (It probably had a delete template) Thanks-- 18:43, 19 January 2016 (EST)
 * There was no delete template on it, sorry. -- 23:23, 19 January 2016 (EST)
 * The images were deemed as unnecessary, regardless of whether they're strategy or not. I'll proceed to delete them. -- 23:41, 20 January 2016 (EST)

How do you get confirmed (to make a page and edit protected pages?)
I think it's 4 days and 10 edits, but I'm not sure. Cataclysm (talk) 08:24, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * It's four days and five edits. -- 10:21, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Not Unused
This seems like the best time to ask yet another question. I also feel bad that I keep bugging you about things. Anyways, I noticed you unmarked File:Shiver Snowfield Mirrored.png for deletion. I understand. What I have questions about is where the file is being linked from. I posed a question on Template talk:Not-unused. What are your thoughts about it? -- 15:48, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * Don't feel bad, I'm here to help. I admittedly don't know where it's linked from, but the user is in their right to keep it as it's following all policy. I'll chime in on that. -- 15:51, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Protect Mario Kart (series) page
Can you protect Mario Kart (series), because IPs always add false information about a Mario Kart 9.-- 09:55, 22 January 2016 (EST)

Scuttlebug seems vulnerable to vandalism. Just ask ; he seems to be dealing with it a lot lately. Is it time to change the edit rights to only allow autoconfirmed users? -- 19:56, 23 January 2016 (EST)
