Categories and Sub-Categories
Just a question about categories. So, if I understood the guidelines right, enemies that only appear in the Yoshi series should be placed in Category: Yoshi Enemies but not in Category: Enemies. Now, what about non-game characters? They go in Category: Non-Game Characters, but should one also add Category: Characters to the article? I've seen different ways of handling this. (And, btw, is there any guideline of how to order categories at the end of an article? Sorry if this is written somewhere, I didn't find anything.) 07:14, 31 October 2007 (EDT)


 * I don't believe we have any official rules for either (that is, non-game sub-categories and the order of categories). -- Son of Suns
 * When we have no rule, you can set them up yourself, by the way. Handle the non-game characters how you think it would fit best. When noone disagrees, it's a consensus. - 13:07, 31 October 2007 (EDT)


 * Thanks. In my opinion, it's useless to add "Characters" if there's "Non-Game Characters" already, so that'll be my rule... 13:19, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Is there a category someone could look in to see every enemy from a Mario, DK, or Yoshi game? 17:45, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Category: Enemies, Category: Yoshi Enemies, Category: Donkey Kong Enemies exist, but there's no category for all of them together. - 17:53, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Too bad. I'm guessing we don't want to duplicate Enemies to Mario enemies and then leave the enemies category for everyone?  18:00, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

Database Error
Help! I can't get back on my userpage! I was trying to put a link to my newly-made spritesheet on my userpage before I showed it to Minimariolover10, but when I did, I got this "database error" saying "A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery". MySQL returned error "1030: Got error 127 from storage engine (localhost)"." And now I can't get back on!! Half my life's work is on there! What can I do?? 13:03, 4 November 2007 (EST)

I WANT MY PAGE BAAAAACK!!!

Gaahhh!!! I'm so sorry!! That was all my fault! I have no idea why that happened!! I deserve to be punished!!

Really. I am. I would never do anything to jepordize this site. I love it here. I was only trying to get my version of one of my spritesheets up. Minimariolover10, I esecially want you to see them, but you'll have to go on my userpage, as I don't want to try and paste that link anywhere else.

I think we are overdue for a move. Glowsquid

We HAVE been getting a number of errors lately (the other day, an error page told me that Wayoshi's talk page was a glitched article), but that's not too uncommon. We normally have about a three day period every few weeks where things are a bit slow. -- Chris 18:31, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Background Images
Is it possible to put images of something...anything...and use it as the background for a userpage, or something like that? And if so, how?
