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.

Bundle Stuff
Hey Tucayo, I have a question, when a character is announced to appear in an upcoming game, why do we wait till it's released before we add it. What would be the difference between adding it now or when it's released. 00:32, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
 * What specifically are you talking about? -- 19:50, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
 * An example is like when y'know how when Paper Jam was nearly released some users put down Starlow's latest appearance as that game, why do we just wait till the game is realeased before changing the latest appearance. 19:54, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh, OK. We wait because technically nothing is definitive until the game is actually released. -- 20:00, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

Help:Signature
Thanks for updating the signature pages, while you're at it could you maybe change the colours on the "Usage" table in the page? It's hard on the eyes and almost impossible to read with white text on a yellow background. 20:02, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Sure thing. -- 20:05, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

Mario Party 2
In light of your recent proposal, what are you planning to do with the minigames from Mario Party 2, which includes TOAD in the Box, TOAD Bandstand, BOB-OMB Barrage, Hot BOB-OMB, and BOWSER's Big Blast? I'm just curious as to what you're planning.
 * I would like to move them as well, to be honest. I don't have MP2 so I can't see the in-game context of those being stylized like that or if it's just meaningless as with the boards in my proposal. If it's just random stylization, then I would be very inclined to move them. -- 21:32, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Judging by this video, the minigames use the stylized titles when played as normal and when the minigame is selected from the menu (and presumably when it shows up in other modes, such as Mini-Game Coaster and Mini-Game Battle). The Prima guide also uses the stylized names, which you can deem as important as you need it to be. I also agree with you on the random stylization: it kinda seems like they're capitalizing the names of enemies and characters, but other minigames like Shy Guy Says or Bowser Slots don't follow the same rule. One thing I didn't notice until after I linked to it: Hot Bob-omb didn't actually get moved alongside the other minigames, which is a big oversight that you could bring up in a proposal.
 * It's so inconsistent I would like to move them all to regular capitalization, but I don't know if I can do that based on my proposal or if some more consensus would be needed. I think the reason Hot Bob-omb is there is because it was written like that in MP1, which is still against our policy since we should use the most recent name and that would be Hot BOB-OMB. It's funny because in that article, the capitalization on MP2 is just disregarded as a stylization and it takes Hot Bob-omb as the actual name. -- 21:58, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Personally, while the circumstances are slightly different (board vs. minigame, fully stylized vs. partially stylized), I wouldn't disagree with you if you wanted to use the former proposal as justification.
 * I'll check with the admin team to see if I can go ahead and move them. -- 22:12, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

Protecting Mario Party (series)
Should Mario Party (series) be protected? So far, three anons have made the same false info edit. (And now that I think about it, I guess it was unnecessary for me to block them since you can just protect the page anyway...)
 * I'm not trying to sound rude here but you're a Patroller, can't you protect it yourself? 04:23, 20 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Only sysops can do that.
 * That IP is clearly Fidel. CrashBash (talk) 11:59, 20 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Yeah, protection would be best. The block is good since they were doing ban-worthy stuff anyway. -- 15:40, 20 June 2016 (EDT)

Vandal warnings
I issued a warning to because they blanked a page and then restored it; I couldn't tell if it was trolling or just done as a one-time joke but went with the latter (benefit of doubt). I know that particular user was blocked as a sockpuppet but in that type of case (quick vandalism then revert) are you just supposed to leave them to get blocked? -- 17:27, 20 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes 17:29, 20 June 2016 (EDT)
 * I'd appreciate if you'd let admins answer questions about admin stuff. Yes, users who join just to vandalize are always to be immediately blocked. -- 21:13, 20 June 2016 (EDT)

Proposal
Hey Tucayo. I want to have a proposal but it's for two pages, what do I do instead of just having the same proposal on two pages. 23:01, 22 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Have it on Proposals as one proposal, as long as the changes to both pages are of the same nature. -- 23:15, 22 June 2016 (EDT)
 * On an unlikely note, what would happen if the proposal was a tie like there were 7 supporters and 7 opposers. 18:59, 23 June 2016 (EDT)
 * It gets extended for a week. It can be extended up to three times before it's declared as a tie. -- 19:07, 23 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Hey Tucayo many people say my proposal isn't very thought out, how can I make my future ones better. 20:30, 28 June 2016 (EDT)
 * There's no simple guide to make good proposals. First off, it's indeed vague. You need to explain in more detail why the change is better. You also need to cover all possible consequences of the proposal, such as inconsistency issues. Take a look at articles that have a similar situation and then see if the change makes sense. -- 21:39, 28 June 2016 (EDT)

Sockpuppet
I spotted a sockpuppet of many different accounts:. There have been many KevinSquidys before so could you please check his/her IP. 22:45, 24 June 2016 (EDT)

Image
Hey Tucayo is it okay if I upload a new version of File:Gnaw1.jpg I am 98% certain that mine is better. 00:32, 27 June 2016 (EDT)
 * I assume you mean File:Gnaw1.JPG? Please use your better judgement. That image has very poor quality, so it can be definitely improved. -- 00:37, 27 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Though mine is actually png so should I just upload it separately? 00:39, 27 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes. -- 00:39, 27 June 2016 (EDT)
 * The image that uploaded is bigger and a little bit better, but has a factor of blurriness to it. File:Gnaw.png A better version can still be uploaded. I am almost never fond of using YouTube or similar as a source. Pretty sure it should be tagged with . -- 17:04, 27 June 2016 (EDT)
 * How's this screenshot took? -- 18:49, 27 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Userpedia:File:MvsFF 2 07 11.png It's better but not entirely the best replacement we can do. There's significantly less blur to that image but still a little bit though and there is some jaggedness to it. It's best to be retaken in the latest version of Dolphin (5.0 was just released a few days ago). I've been experimenting with graphical settings and my sandbox screenshot page could use some updates to get even better screenshots than ever before. Where did get that image? Also, what is the purpose of Userpedia? -- 00:34, 28 June 2016 (EDT)
 * Never mind. I went to GameFAQs and downloaded a "powersave" and then converted it with sq-dps (GBATemp) to be readable by either my Wii or Wii emulator. Problem solved. -- 01:13, 28 June 2016 (EDT)
 * I think Edo took it himself but I don't know the specifics. Userpedia is a wiki for user fiction and other types of works that wouldn't fit in the MarioWiki. -- 21:39, 28 June 2016 (EDT)

The 'Shroom
Hi Tucayo, I sent an application for The 'Shroom, did you have received it? I think I forgot to mention that I would like a confirmation in my message. -- 22:00, 29 June 2016 (EDT)
 * I did get it, thanks. I'm sorry, I usually confirm receipt on every message but I was on a rush and I forgot. Your application is now being reviewed. -- 22:07, 29 June 2016 (EDT)

Languages
Hello how many different languages can a user view this wiki in because I do know how to speak two languages (Macedonian and Chinese). 16:50, 3 July 2016 (EDT)

Protect or Block
Hi, can you please block the IP or protect Green Fire, because the same IP always make the same nonsense edit and change the Green Fire from a middleweight Kart to a Lightweight Kart. Maybe both would be a good idea. -- 20:06, 3 July 2016 (EDT)

Signature proposal
I know it's been a while since my proposal passed but I'm wondering why you decided to make a strong point of "encourage" instead of "mandatory". The signature guidelines already said that a datestamp is encouraged so that action would make the proposal ineffective. The proposal's goal was that a new rule should be added (maybe it wasn't clear enough in the proposal itself but I did say multiple times in the comments) making the timestamp (which, I don't see why is a big deal, it's not that hard to set up or can be inputted manually) a requirement for signatures, and that it would be enforced like any other signature rule (e.g. images, text, etc.) and would warrant an informal message at most, not a warning. With all of this, why did you choose to keep it toned down? I'm just curious over this; the current situation is perfectly fine and I'm not demanding to add that but I just want to know why the "enforce" part was quickly shot down. 20:32, 3 July 2016 (EDT)

romanization of Japanese names
I found that editors sometimes come up with different romanizations for Japanese names that include kanji. For example, ゴツゴツ山 could either read "gotsugotsu san" or "gotsugotsu yama" -- both are correct. Does the wiki distinguish "ゴツゴツ山 gotsugotsu yama", which means Nintendo has specified a reading of the kanji and the romanization is done accordingly, from "ゴツゴツ山 gotsugotsu yama", which means the romanization is conjectural?

By the way, when making edits like this, is it a good idea to upload a screenshot as a "proof"? 22:02, 3 July 2016 (EDT)
