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)
 * I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. The wiki and the content can just be seen in English. We have a German and an Italian affiliate (links found on sidebar). --Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) 20:53, 5 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)
 * Beaten to it :P --Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) 20:53, 5 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)
 * It's basically still a requisite but it's how I preferred it to be worded and seemingly how most other people did as well. I didn't like making it strictly mandatory to have a datestamp but rather make it strongly encouraged. A matter of semantics, if you'd like. --Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) 20:53, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Ah ok, thanks. By "strongly", though, does that mean important but still not enough to warrant an official rule? 21:34, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
 * What specifically did you have in mind? Rule 4 already mentions signatures should be followed by a datestamp. -- 21:51, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Exactly that; I didn't notice the specific at the end of Rule 4. 21:56, 5 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)
 * It's not officially distinguished but it's good you are doing it that way to there is no doubt as to the romanization. It could be implemented in Japanese so that other editors start doing that.
 * It wouldn't hurt to have a source backing that up so that other editors know where it's coming from. --Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) 20:53, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks. By the way, when should there be parenthesized Japanese name following the English name in the intro text? I'm confused as the Mario article doesn't have it but the Luigi one does.  02:53, 16 July 2016 (EDT)
 * There's no solid guideline but the best would be if articles had it in the same manner as Luigi. -- 11:28, 16 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Um... what about articles like this? If there isn't any etymological relationship between the English and the Japanese names, should the Japanese name still stay that way or be moved down to its foreignname section?  11:40, 16 July 2016 (EDT)
 * If there is no relationship at all, I'd say move it down. Take note, this is only my take on it. Maybe a discussion on MarioWiki talk:Japanese could give us more opinions. -- 11:49, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

Old User Personal Pages
has three personal pages that don't serve MarioWiki. I only noticed this as I was replacing Super Paper Mario images. Should those pages be deleted? There could be more, but I could only find three when typing User:PrincessJojora into the search box. -- 20:41, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
 * They should indeed be deleted, yeah. They are indeed the only such pages. --Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) 20:54, 5 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Fantastic! Thanks for deleting those pages. -- 20:55, 5 July 2016 (EDT)

Shroom Images and Not Unused Images
Remember a while back how I said some images tagged with and images tagged with  were showing up in Special:UnusedFiles (probably unintended), reducing that special page's usefulness? implemented an ingenious way to fix that problem! See our talk pages to find out how the problem was solved. -- 17:44, 6 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes! I remember it and I actually was recalling it when I saw YK and 22's solution; I'm glad it could be done! It goes to show all the things one can do in MediaWiki. -- 21:19, 6 July 2016 (EDT)

I have a small request. I did a slight tweak to so that way no thumbnail gets generated by the link hidden away but still keeps the file from showing up in Special:UnusedFiles. Can you apply my change to ? It should be slightly more friendly to the MediaWiki software running MarioWiki and users browsing to the image pages. -- 19:48, 2 January 2017 (EST)
 * I'm not 100% sure what that does but sure thing. -- 00:16, 3 January 2017 (EST)
 * Thanks. If you need an idea how  works for files, see Nintendo Switch or Electrodrome for examples with their citations . I also have an active proposal taking it one step further with the creation of a template. -- 04:31, 3 January 2017 (EST)

Forum PM
Hi Tucayo! I send you a PM on the forum about the suggestions that you send me with the message about my applications. I made some changes and I would like if you can look at this. Thanks! :) -- 23:27, 10 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Hi! I actually just replied :) -- 00:07, 11 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Hi! Sorry to disturb you again, I give you a new PM. :) -- 19:06, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Replied :) -- 20:51, 14 July 2016 (EDT)

Appealing Archive Warnings
Hey Tucayo I have a question, can you appeal warnings on archives. I personally feel I didn't deserve one of the warnings (definitely not the one you gave me) but another one, I checked both the warning and courtesy policies thrice and it isn't mentioned anywhere for the action I did, even though it's archived can I still appeal it as it wasn't deserved. 03:40, 11 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes, you can appeal those as well. -- 15:53, 11 July 2016 (EDT)

Vandal IP?
Special:Contributions/73.143.232.75 -- 19:05, 11 July 2016 (EDT)
 * This IP is at it again. The block is still enforced but the IP slipped through. This is weird. -- 21:34, 12 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Got it, thanks. -- 21:36, 12 July 2016 (EDT)

Giant Bowser and Giant Luigi
I have a quick question why is it Giant Bowser is a redirect to Bowser but Giant Luigi is it's own article? Shouldn't They both be split or merged either way doesn't really matter but it is just bizarre seeing this. 22:27, 11 July 2016 (EDT)
 * From what I can gather, there's not enough info about Giant Bowser as of now. Should there be enough info to put together an article, it should be split as well. -- 22:35, 11 July 2016 (EDT)

Main Images in Infoboxes
I noticed an IP changed the image of two pages on the Infoboxes for their respective articles. Back before when the other M&Ls came out we didn't change it (did we)? So the question is does the image in the infobox have to originate from the main series only or can it be like cartoon images as well? 18:07, 12 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Main series images are better as they are more representative. -- 21:30, 12 July 2016 (EDT)

IP adding false information
I just saw an IP add false information on two pages here is the said IP. (108.30.53.16) EDIT: I already told him to stop. 18:31, 13 July 2016 (EDT)
 * There's no point in telling them since they're just random vandals, it's best to just go straight to an admin. -- 21:35, 13 July 2016 (EDT)

Edit File For Me
I was going to edit File:NintendoClassicNES UK.jpg by inserting Category:Nintendo Entertainment System Images, but it is protected. Please do it for me? -- 14:51, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Sure thing. -- 15:18, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks! -- 16:39, 14 July 2016 (EDT)

Why, yes!
I know I have to do that! Is there any page whose information I forgot to update, regarding my moving an article's name to another? In this case, I am sorry for my lack of attention. -- 06:25, 16 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Skeleton (enemy) and Squid. Don't worry, it happens :) -- 11:28, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

Recent Issue
The user has been adding unnecessary (final appearance) trivia mainly on this page. Most of his edit history consists of adding that same trivia about it being the final appearance of a character in the game, the main article he's been doing this to is Mario Party 7, he did it to more earlier just so you can see here is a list of his contributions. I gave him a reminder earlier telling him to stop but he did it again a month later, he's also targeted Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. 16:30, 16 July 2016 (EDT)
 * He hasn't done it since you last told him about it so there's nothing that should be done. -- 17:54, 16 July 2016 (EDT)
 * He just did it again. Though this time it was slightly different but still unnecessary. I gave him a so what should I do if he does it again.  02:32, 30 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Let me know. -- 15:45, 30 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm kind of certain this is bad but he also did this. I found it pretty unconstructive mostly due to the fact that it's not a reference because they appeared in games before that such as SMG1 and SMG2 etc. so it's hardly a reference referencing their fourth appearance because we can't got to the NSMB2 article and say Goombas return as enemies in this game so he's already on a last warning so what do we do now? 06:37, 3 September 2016 (EDT)
 * I will take it from here. -- 12:03, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

Anonymous Vandal 2
I saw an anonymous person vandalize an important template here is the IP 97.92.33.126 18:31, 18 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Done. -- 19:19, 18 July 2016 (EDT)

Green Fire
You wanna protect the Green Fire page or something? Anonymous users keep changing it to be a lightweight when it very clearly isn't... EDIT: Seems it was protected earlier, but it expired. EDIT 2: This guy is a vandal. 15:51, 19 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Done. -- 15:59, 19 July 2016 (EDT)

Mini-Boss category
I noticed that in the bosses category, all bosses were listed regardless to whether they were once (or always) mini/mid-bosses in general (eg. Big Buzzy Beetle Kamek etc.) shouldn't there be a category for both? 00:01, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * What exactly do you mean by this? A category for one-time mini-bosses and a category for traditional mini-bosses? That wouldn't be necessary. -- 15:53, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * What I mean is like a category for all mini-bosses not two seperate categories. 16:20, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Category:Bosses has Category:Final Bosses as a sub-category; it should be assumed bosses who are only in the former and not the latter are mid-bosses and mini-bosses. I mean, a category for mid/mini-bosses could be made for the sake or organization, but it's not exactly needed. -- 16:35, 20 July 2016 (EDT)

Wrongful Move (Can't Undo Myself)
File:Goombo.png was moved to File:Galoomba1.png by. It's a personal image belonging to. I checked his talk page and there seems to be a personal image violation that never got resolved. Not sure how to proceed with this. -- 04:58, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the heads-up, I took care of that. -- 15:53, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the move-back but what are you going to do about the too many personal images problem that has existed for over two years now? -- 16:53, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I hadn't noticed that, I'll just delete some at random so he remains at 4. -- 18:32, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I moved it because... it's not a Goombo. It's a Galoomba. Goombos are an actual thing. It's like having a Koopa Troopa image labelled Shellcreeper.png - Reboot (talk) 17:04, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Personal images can be named whatever the current owner of the personal images wants, as long as it doesn't contain anything inappropriate, such as profanity or racial slurs. -- 17:59, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * ^That. Users can name their images however they please.

User Welcoming IP
welcomed an anonymous user. Are we sure that's allowed because no other IPs have that on their talk pages. Will the template have delete-request? Will the user get a reminder of any sort? 22:16, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Welcoming IP's is completely unnecessary but there's no reason at all to give the user a reminder. -- 15:39, 21 July 2016 (EDT)

about User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox
Hi. Wildgoosespeeder said here that you wanted his /sandbox stuff be passed as rules instead of recommendations. I wonder what that means? Will we be forbidden from uploading YouTube screenshots from then on? 12:34, 21 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I said "official page", I never said "rules". It should be noted the page does not forbid anyone from uploading YouTube screenshots and I quote: "If you are going to take a screenshot of a YouTube video (or equivalent media), save in PNG format and tag the image immediately with so a more appropriately captured screenshot can be uploaded at a future date." -- 15:39, 21 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I think there was some confusion when I first mentioned my emulator screenshot idea and you said it was approved by the other admins. A lot has changed since then. I think the page needs to see review by the admins again in its current state. Also will this be a rule/policy (MarioWiki namespace page) or recommendation (help namespace page)? -- 15:53, 21 July 2016 (EDT)
 * As you said, we'd need to review it again to make the call. When it's ready to go you can let me know and we'll take a look at it. -- 15:55, 21 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I don't think it is ready yet as a formal page but I would like to see how the other admins feel about the page as it currently stands. Think of this as a check-in to show how the project is progressing. Let's see if the other admins like the direction it is going in. -- 16:00, 21 July 2016 (EDT)

Different emulator allowed?
Sorry to trouble you again, but if YouTube screenshots are allowed, then I suppose screenshots taken with a different emulator are also allowed? Only two emulators for N64 have been stated on User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox and I'm using a third whose result doesn't differ much. Take a Paper Mario screenshot for example:

Is that allowed? And if it is, does my version need to be tagged because it does not comply with that standard?

Thanks again. I'm sorry to be such a trouble since I already have a complete set of savestates and don't want to replay the game from start with a different emulator. 20:55, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes, a screenshot is better than no screenshot and they can be taken from YouTube or from any emulator. I don't think them being taken with a different emulator calls for the quality template, and we're actually discussing about the tag being necessary in YouTube screenshots. We'll have a full update soon, but yes, your screenshot is fine. -- 23:50, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Whoa whoa whoa. I think this is getting out of hand., I did think your original screenshot submissions for Simon were fine and didn't need . I just wanted to upload a screenshot generated by a different graphics plug-in for comparison-sake. As for YouTube as a source for screenshots, I consider it a lazy way to satisfy an article tagged with or . YouTube videos vary in quality drastically, but all are lossy. It makes maintenance harder for screenshot submitters if they aren't tagged with  or are in the JPEG format (screenshots are better as PNGs). Emulators allow for full control of quality. -- 00:55, 23 July 2016 (EDT)

RE:
Thanks for getting back to me ! I was guessing that a policy was a long shot, but seeing its potential to be a help page, that's good news to hear! -- 00:27, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I'll be sure to change the fake title since this page will remain a sandbox for now until I can finalize some things.
 * Although showing examples are good, I think a little bit more elaboration would be a good thing too. See File:Thwomp Wario's Woods.png for an example. Even though it meets dimension suggestions, it was originally a JPEG converted to PNG and abandoned by . If a file size is oddly high, the person seeing the screenshot should upload a cleaner version of the image.
 * Post-processing: That would be applying filters after a clean screenshot was taken or using a filter as the game is running in the emulator (against Image use policy anyways).
 * Feel free to tweak the wording now if you want. I don't mind. I allowed it before.
 * I don't have much to work with when it comes to 3DS screenshots because I can't do it right now. There is no indirect link I can supply right now. That is as good as its going to get unless an exploit gets released that can be used by anybody on any firmware version (browserhax, free eShop titles that happen to be exploitable, etc.). I am only acknowledging the 3DS hacking scene can do PNG screenshots.
 * I'll be sure to do that.
 * What odd timing. Two days later, I am now able to run exploits on my 3DS using latest firmware by using browserhax that was updated. User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox was updated. Cheers! -- 05:17, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Sweet! -- 15:40, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

Another IP
An IP 76.2.233.252 has been vandalizing pages. I'm not sure if this is the same guy as before but he was vandalizing pages and then reverting his vandalism just as I'm about to do it. 16:17, 21 July 2016 (EDT)

Offensive message
I saw a highly offensive meesge on Walkazo's talk page. I was highly offended by it especially since she recently died. Can I remove that profane message as it is flaming. 20:53, 21 July 2016 (EDT)

Restore Image
I am a bit curious but I wonder what File:Screen6.gif contained. Also it breaks the pattern, which makes me even more curious:


 * File:Screen1.gif
 * File:Screen2.gif
 * File:Screen3.gif
 * File:Screen4.gif
 * File:Screen5.gif
 * File:Screen6.gif
 * File:Screen7.gif
 * File:Screen8.gif
 * File:Screen9.gif
 * File:Screen10.gif

Please restore the image? -- 17:19, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Images deleted before 2012 can't be restored, sorry. -- 17:24, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * What happened to make it impossible to be restored? -- 17:29, 22 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I don't remember the specifics but it had to do with an update. -- 18:55, 22 July 2016 (EDT)

A Paper Mario edit
Hey Tucayo, some IP (104.181.85.104) has continuously added some information on two Paper articles that there is nothing suggesting that those games took place within the Paper book when both Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Paper Mario: Sticker Star both start with a book. When both me myself and two other users reverted them even Mario jc a patroller reverted a few of his edits I already sent him a message telling him to please stop, if he/she does it again what should I do? 04:15, 24 July 2016 (EDT)
 * The way he worded it in his last edit to each of those pages makes perfect sense and I would not undo that edit. -- 11:21, 24 July 2016 (EDT)

Question
On 's talk, I gave him a about edit sniping but I see he has done this once before. Should the reminder I gave him be elevated to ? -- 16:34, 24 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Since the Reminder was already issued, then no, it shouldn't be changed. -- 18:59, 24 July 2016 (EDT)

Odd thing in who's online
I have a question, even after a user gets banned how are they still online? Because I saw, and even  online. How is it possible because when banned it automatically logs out the account. 23:10, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Glitch in MediaWiki when they try to log in. -- 23:12, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
 * From my understanding of MW, blocks simply mean all editing rights are taken. Shouldn't log the account out or anything. 00:28, 27 July 2016 (EDT)
 * ^That does make more sense. Thanks, SK! -- 00:31, 27 July 2016 (EDT)

Suspicious user
I saw a user called in the user creation log, could you check his IP, because his name is very similar to a vandal with a almost identical name, is it him? 05:14, 27 July 2016 (EDT)
 * The account hasn't edited since March. This is not something that needs action to be taken. -- 17:24, 27 July 2016 (EDT)

Sitenotice
Just a headsup, British" is misspelled. Also I saw the general discussion thread on the forums and from what I can understand, decided to implement the policy of all British→American spellings and override any possibly proposal options; is this policy going to be fully rolled out shortly or is it already decided and just need implementation?  17:03, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Wooops, it's been corrected now. It's already decided, it just needs implementation. -- 17:06, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

About the new American spelling only rule
I have a few questions about this rule, the first being what if someone's comment was spelt in British? Second question is in The Warning Policy the rule against that is still there aren't we going to have to remove that rule? 17:18, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Comments, obviously, don't fall within this rule. Only actual articles. That will be updated, yes, if you'd just wait. -- 17:22, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Should Lift be moved to Elevator then? - 19:50, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Also, some pages titles are in UK spelling, like Coloured Coin. I don't know what it's called in the US, but it may be something other than "Colored Coin" (since sometimes names differ by more than spelling in PAL). When linking to them, what to do if a US one is unavailable?  20:23, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm looking into that. -- 00:01, 29 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I'll directly quote, who helped me out on this one:
 * "Hmm. I don't see why Lift should be moved to Elevator. 'Lift' comes from Super Mario Maker, and 'Elevator' comes from Super Mario 3D World. Super Mario Maker is more recent, so should take the title."


 * "As for 'Coloured Coin', MarioWiki:Naming says that the North American name takes precedence. If the North American name for 'Coloured Coin' is available, then it should be moved, and 'Coloured Coin' be kept as an alternate name and redirect. But if no North American name is known, but the UK one is, then that known name is linked to and titled as normal."
 * -- 00:00, 30 July 2016 (EDT)

Hello. Does Category:Cancelled Games need similar treatment? -- 05:45, 8 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Hello. If I remember correctly, both spellings are used in American English, but "canceled" is by far the more common, so yes, it should be moved as well. -- 11:09, 8 October 2016 (EDT)

About preferred spelling
Does it apply to in-game quotes too? -- 23:26, 28 July 2016 (EDT)
 * No. -- 00:01, 29 July 2016 (EDT)

Report Vandal
When reporting a vandal, can users use a template like user/vandal to show an example of his/her actions or does the reporter just have to put the troll's name/IP and nothing else? 05:03, 29 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Whatever is fine as long as you don't make discussions there. -- 00:00, 30 July 2016 (EDT)
 * And also, can you report duplicate account as well? 03:30, 30 July 2016 (EDT)

Yes, under the "reported users" header along with a brief reason on why you suspect someone of being a sockpuppet. But unless it's extremely obvious that it's a match, then it's best to go to an active admin instead, where you can explain in detail why you believe that it's a sockpuppet. Remember that the noticeboard is no place for detailed discussions, as Tucayo said above.

04:23, 30 July 2016 (EDT)
 * The account in question was who switched accounts and he now uses . That is what I meant about blocking duplicate accounts like how you also blocked my  and  accounts (the latter of which was my friend) so yeah in purposes like that do the accounts get banned?  04:56, 31 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Regular users can't know which accounts are duplicate. We take care of that. -- 19:58, 31 July 2016 (EDT)
 * The thing is yes I don't have access to CheckUser but He admitted to it after being asked by another user. 19:33, 1 August 2016 (EDT)

Restore Template
I know I might sound picky about this but could you please restore Template:Troll-ip just in case we report anonymous vandals because it doesn't seem work on the original troll template so could you please restore it just in case thanks. 04:41, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Pages deleted before 2014 can't be restored. -- 15:37, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * But can I still re-create it? 16:27, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Do you have the coding? -- 16:39, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm pretty sure I do. 16:42, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Can I see it? -- 16:48, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I hope you're okay with this but I will be using the coding off the original troll template. 16:50, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Then use that template to report IP's. It does work: -- 16:58, 2 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh Thanks. 16:59, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

A User Focusing on their Userpage
I already warned about their edits exclusive to their userspace and forgetting to fill out or remove. Should I elevate both to a single ? -- 04:18, 9 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I'd wait a bit to see what he does with his next edits. If he keeps going at it, then yes, a Warning would be in place. -- 15:47, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

Buttons
I created the button icons for the Wii U and 3DS (I'm a fast worker :D). I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with them myself, though, so here's a link to the Dropbox folder. 19:58, 14 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Nice, thanks for that! I can work on getting those working when I get home. -- 20:18, 14 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Cool. 20:23, 14 August 2016 (EDT)
 * A differentiation between the two sticks as well as a different Home and Power button should be in the files. Also, I completely forgot to resize the stylus :P 23:07, 14 August 2016 (EDT)
 * What's wrong with the current Home button? -- 16:27, 15 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Nothing's wrong with the current one. The one I made just has a blue outline :) 16:47, 15 August 2016 (EDT)

Question about rules and what users are allowed to (or not allowed to) speak
Hi Henery Tucayo Clay. I responded to your message on my wall here. I would like to clarify on what freedoms users have in speaking opinions as I am concerned about what I can or cannot say after the warning issued to me. If you could respond and let me know when you get the chance, that would be appreciated. Thank you. Editorguy117 (talk) 21:42, 15 August 2016 (EDT)

'Shroom picture replacement
Hi. There is an image File:Queeniecloseup.jpg of which a higher quality version is File:PMTTYD Shadow Queen closeup.png, but the former picture is still used in the 'Shroom. --  03:14, 19 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Hello. Was the link already changed? I don't see it. -- 15:49, 19 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Sorry, mistook BJAODN for The 'Shroom. -- 02:53, 20 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh, it's File:Shadow Queen.JPG replaced by File:Shadow Queen holding Peach.png. Misremembered it. XD --  21:27, 20 August 2016 (EDT)
 * And File:Smorg.JPG -> File:PMTTYD Smorg screenshot.png. Could you please take care of that too? Thanks. - 22:16, 20 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Taken care of. -- 18:35, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

Seeing how you deleted some screenshots while using the better image for the older editions, want to do the same thing for File:CastleBleckInnerSanctum.jpg and replace it with File:SPM Castle Bleck Inner Sanctum.png? -- 21:27, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Sorry, that image is different enough and I'd rather not change it. -- 22:04, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
 * It's the same location, both physically and in the Chapter 8 script, just my version wasn't cropped. -- 01:18, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
 * There's no harm in keeping both since the version currently in The 'Shroom doesn't show the characters. -- 15:47, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I know. We've had this conversation before as I now and still default to removing game categories and adding/changing to (changing if tagged with ). That's what I did before contacting you in this talk thread. I just find it kind of odd that you deleted shroom images that  replaced but my replacements don't see a deletion. -- 16:03, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
 * It's got nothing to do with who proposes it, it's that Toad's images were exactly identical. -- 16:05, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I also try to do that as well. See File:BowserCastleBleck.png for example. Some rare cases, I allow myself some freedom, such as File:Super Jump.PNG as the image I gave better demonstrates Super Jump. -- 16:08, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Yup, I gotta give you credit for uploading identical images in most cases! If there's an identical image that can replace a 'Shroom image, let me know and I can change them. If the images differ I'd rather not change them because that would be editing the original content of the article beyond maintenance edits. -- 16:18, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I think I have shifted over some single frame GIFs and JPEGs to be 'Shroom Images over time (since the last conversation). You are going to have to look through Category:Shroom images to find them. -- 16:24, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

File:VanishCapUnderTheMoat.JPG -> File:SM64 Vanish Cap Under The Moat.png. By the way, can a 320x240 image replace a 640x480 one? The new version here was ridiculously 411KB large (even with PNG Monstrous applied). Rendering at 320x240 with Glide64mk2 results in 135 KB and angrylion may be able to further cut it down. -- 09:51, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
 * Is it really necessary to reduce it? From my point of view, we can live with that 411kb image. -- 17:58, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
 * From my point of view, a 640x480 faked resolution of Super Mario 64 would be in violation of Image use policy but since a heated discussion I had with happened several months back, I just leave those images alone. It is true that a real N64 outputs to 640x480, but there are two possible catches. The RCA standard enlarges the 320x237 digital image to fit the 480i screen through an analog standard (which is prone to degradation) and only sometimes does an N64 internally produce very close to 640x480. I do heavily believe the angrylion plug-in used to produce my screenshots of Super Mario 64 is accurate enough emulating a real N64's graphical capabilities because that is what its developer is aiming to do more so than Glide64 trying to give N64 emulation modern features. Having smaller images like this might be beneficial to those on mobile devices. No blur as all pixels are on-screen so no reduction is needed to fit it on their screens. -- 20:44, 10 November 2016 (EST)
 * To clarify, the reason I proposed 320x237 here was because 640x480 doesn't increase quality in this case, not because I want to eliminate diversity [640x480 is always]. Sometimes we can do better than these old hardware. -- 21:23, 10 November 2016 (EST)
 * I have revised my view on how screenshots can be submitted. If it has HUD elements present, try for a native resolution capture (angrylion is automatic). If it doesn't have HUD, then we can qualify that as a high resolution 3D render. I just hate to see HUD elements enlarged blurred instead of at the correct size. -- 04:36, 11 November 2016 (EST)

 * I'll get to those later today. Using is not the best option. A category would be good, but since it practically is my job to do it, then I guess the easiest thing is to keep coming to me. -- 03:59, 22 February 2017 (EST)

I don't know. I would go with the image that requires the least edits to articles to switch them over. Seems like the PNG is the easiest option. Your call.

I also have something to discuss with you:
 * User:Wildgoosespeeder/Template:Shroom-image-abandon - Being transcluded on File:Glide64 2.png for testing.

What do you think? This idea is based on a previous discussion we had, although brief. This allows 'shroom editors to make the changes and then any sysop can delete the image instead of just you. There are a few options for categories. We can have this mingle with Category:To be deleted and/or have Category:Abandoned Shroom images be a subcategory, kind of like what currently does (Category:Deletion requested). Right now, my test is not forcing the image or this page into a category. -- 04:11, 18 March 2017 (EDT)
 * I'll go over this with the Core Staff. -- 08:16, 20 March 2017 (EDT)
 * Seeing how this came up around 50 times (probably many more in the future) and most of the time you approved the deletions, I think the core staff might be in favor of this template to some capacity, if not entirely. The template is all based on me working with you and me thinking there could be a time where you need to become inactive on MarioWiki. That way, someone else can carry out the requests for changing to the requested image(s) and deleting the unused 'Shroom image. -- 16:15, 20 March 2017 (EDT)
 * Any word yet? -- 19:48, 25 March 2017 (EDT)
 * We can keep this same system going. If I ever go inactive, then the incumbent Statistics Manager will keep taking care of this. -- 05:06, 27 March 2017 (EDT)

Level up progressions in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition?
Hi. I was planning to make a "level up progressions" page for all the characters that can be leveled up in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition here eventually, like those for some of the other Mario RPGs, where every character has their own table listing their stat growths and EXP needed. While those games have only several characters, this game has a staggering 178 of them, each with their own stat growths and EXP requirements. Would this be an issue? --
 * That would be an incredibly large page. There's no precedent for it but my suggestion would be to make it and . -- 18:35, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

 * I sent it to you a few days ago did you get it? (I am just assuring you got my post). 19:03, 2 September 2016 (EDT)
 * Yup, I got it. You'll get your results via PM a couple of days after the week has passed. -- 19:16, 2 September 2016 (EDT)
 * Whew I guess it failed oh well, I might try again in about a week. Don't worry I'm not angry this could help me learn for next time. Thanks and I will try harder next time. 21:21, 4 September 2016 (EDT)
 * If I do another 'Shroom application very similar to the last one but I improve on the mistakes, will I get in. 23:32, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Since the "mistakes" were pretty much structural, I'd say you would have to start from scratch. -- 23:34, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

RE: Animated GIFs
I don't know too much about GIFs as much as I know about PNGs. My guess is that, by design, MediaWiki shows a static image if the GIF is too complex for an animated thumbnail. I would try GIMP by importing the source video and resizing from there so that way GIF artifacts aren't as noticeable. -- 22:15, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

File:146.jpg
This file is getting put up for deletion by. Personally I have no problem with this but it's linked on to well over 30-40 user pages. Who's going to fix the links once the image is gone? I could easily fix mine but what about the others? 21:53, 25 August 2016 (EDT)
 * We can't worry about red links on userpages. Each user can fix their own links if they so desire. If someone wants to adopt it as a PI then it could stay. -- 22:57, 25 August 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm not really liking that mentality anyways. It adds to the pile on Special:WantedFiles, which is useless now. -- 16:58, 28 August 2016 (EDT)

MVSDK2 Project
Hey Tucayo I am currently working on expanding the floors of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis as my project (the first two are complete). Should I mark the rest as under construction seeing as I will get to them. I am currently expanding Pipe Works now. 23:10, 25 August 2016 (EDT)
 * If you are not actively working on them, then no. Between the time you start actually working on them and the time you finish, yes. -- 23:54, 25 August 2016 (EDT)

Hey!!
It's good to be back! I don't know how long exactly I'll be active, but I'm enjoying my time here today. I really missed editing. Actually, I'm surprised to see you here because last I checked you were retired xD But we can never stay away from here for too long, I guess.


 * I sure hope I can stick around too! I'm on my two day streak. See you around.

Sockpuppet Alert
I just spotted a user called, his name sounds very similar to a vandal who attacked back in March. Is it the same guy? 19:25, 3 September 2016 (EDT)
 * Nothing conclusive indicating they are the same person. -- 00:11, 4 September 2016 (EDT)

Re:Hello
It's the name of my favourite YouTuber I like Fawful as much as he does. Do I have to change my name because of this. That's also why I added an apostrophe to my username. 20:52, 4 September 2016 (EDT)

Move That Causes Problems (Specific To The 'Shroom)
Special:Log/move, moved File:KROOLDKJUNLGE.jpg to File:KROOLDKJUNGLE.jpg, leaving several pages linking to the old file name that I can't edit. The 'Shroom seems like the pages should be edited but my pet peeve is screaming that the userpages should be edited. Please take care of this issue as soon as you can. -- 16:22, 17 September 2016 (EDT)

I've fixed the 'Shroom error. Tucky can fix the user pages, although I'm personally not that sure how much it matters, considering they aren't particularly active.

Regarding the reminder you sent me, I find that moving image names (especially if they have a major typo in their name) can be warranted under some cases. While image names are highly subjective, basic spelling should always be correct. It's a nuisance, yes, but it's the professional thing to do. --Andymii (talk) 16:57, 17 September 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh. I was just so used to the idea that only sysops can modify protected pages. :P I forgot is a shroomwriter and you have specific rights regarding shroom namespace pages. -- 21:04, 17 September 2016 (EDT)

IP
May want to check this guy. Been adding and expanding a block template on what I'm pretty sure was his original account before being blocked. 23:37, 18 September 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. -- 23:46, 18 September 2016 (EDT)

Allow Duplicate (Exception)
I'm conflicted. Should we leave these two images be or should the newly uploaded image be deleted? Gallery:Princess Daisy -- 14:45, 20 September 2016 (EDT)


 * Do we have any idea where was the older upload taken from? -- 15:54, 20 September 2016 (EDT)
 * No idea. They are both visually similar so that is why I ask what should be done here because the user knowingly edited a gallery containing the image to link to the other as well. -- 16:00, 20 September 2016 (EDT)
 * Until there's more information I guess we'll have to let both be. I think the older may be edited but right now there's no way to know for sure. -- 18:13, 20 September 2016 (EDT)

Two personal images
Yo Tucayo. I put the two Fawfus Minion images up for deletion and I'd like to use two images you deleted at the beginning of the year. King Sammer dancing.gif and King Sammer World of Nothing.gif. Can they be restored? I hope it's not too late. The RPG Gamer (talk) 16:52, 5 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Please link me to the latter. -- 22:38, 5 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Here it is File:King Sammer - World of Nothing.png 23:12, 5 October 2016 (EDT)

My second 'Shroom take
Hi Tucayo I just sent in a second application for the 'Shroom, I took all the reasons you posted me into consideration. I hope you like it. :) 20:02, 8 October 2016 (EDT)

Personal Image reverted
Hi Tucayo, one of my personal images (file Kenny James.jpg) was reverted to another version when I clearly stated that the April 7 2008 version was what I wanted displayed for my personal image. Could you please delete all revision on the image except for the first one thanks. If you're wondering why it's a personal image now it's because I already uploaded a PNG version of the existing file. 14:42, 9 October 2016 (EDT)
 * We don't delete revisions for reasons like that. -- 18:28, 9 October 2016 (EDT)
 * You may've misread it, I wanted the old versions of the file removed (much like what ) is doing right now and just keep the April 7 2008 version seeing as the article already has two better images and my personal image has excessive duplicate revisions. 20:24, 1 November 2016 (EDT)

User solely editing Userspace
Should I give a ? Because a high amount of his edits are on his userpage. 00:37, 16 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Seeing how he hasn't edited in almost a month, no. -- 11:45, 16 October 2016 (EDT)

Userspace edit amount
If someone has a lot of user talk edits but a small amount of user edits, do the user talk edits add up to the user edits and count as more Userspace than mainspace? 23:29, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes. -- 23:33, 17 October 2016 (EDT)

Sockpuppets
Are sockpuppets not allowed at all even if they're edits are very good because I noticed one and I have proof. 20:18, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Sockpuppets are absolutely not allowed. -- 20:41, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Okay well then how would you like to know about I'm not trying to throw accusations but his/her personality is very similar to  who was blocked by : Both use !s in summaries frequently, the two userpages say similar things also AfternoonLight's SmashWiki username is similar to Burningdragon25's (via ) on AfternoonLight's userpage. I don't want to sound like I'm being mean but I did notice it being familiar.  20:56, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Burningdragon25 was blocked for being a sockpuppet iirc, and those two users had pretty much the same posting and editing styles as AfternoonLight. I'm pretty sure he's using a proxy to bypass IP checking.  20:59, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Good catch, guys, thanks for bringing that up. -- 22:03, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I can see how easy it is to have a sockpuppet from another IP. I have a 2DS. If I could figure out how to log in using the 2DS, that would be a sockpuppet, even though IPs don't match. I don't plan on sockpuppeting, but if my computer were to not work and not have the information about the password transferred to my other computer, I would need to create a new account since the password is on this computer I'm using. Hopefully, that won't be the case. 23:54, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

I'm not trying to throw false accusations here, but could you please look if, a user who was created today, is a sockpuppet of , who also was a sockpuppet of , his editing styles looks similar (both use ! on edit summary and vote) and his vote on a current TPP (removed because it was invalid) are similar enough to those cast by AfternoonLight. I'm suspicious. -- 11:50, 24 October 2016 (EDT)

Deletion of a Template
Why was the protection template deleted? It's a pretty important notice template so why was it deleted this also applies to the twin of this template (the Unprotect one). 04:25, 23 October 2016 (EDT)
 * It's not important. The deletion log says why it was deleted. -- 11:52, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

Scam on old user's userpage
I noticed another user has a fake new message box on top of his userpage. What's more is if you click on the "no seriously don't" link it logs you out of your account. Shouldn't the fake box be removed per policy? 03:13, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
 * The user hasn't edited in over 7 years, it frankly doesn't matter. -- 15:48, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

Template editing
Whenever I make an edit to a infobox template a perfect example would be it messes up the template. I'm trying to add in a new section but it keeps stuffing up, how do I stop this from happening? 18:43, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Show me the coding you're using. -- 18:45, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
 * It should look identical you could see here if you want to I added a related section but it won't show up properly. 18:59, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
 * That link shows the current revision, but I saw yours and I couldn't find the mistake, sorry. -- 23:21, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

RE:Welcoming Users
Should that be an additional rule on the Welcoming users page, then? If the user hasn't made an edit in at least a month, there should be no need to welcome them? I'm all for being friendly, but I agree with what you said. Anything more than a month and it's basically welcoming an inactive user. 18:43, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I figured it was common sense, but sure, I?m all for adding that. -- 18:45, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Alright, cool. Though I think it should be a bit more apparent than that... 18:51, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

Question
Hello, I'm asking you this question because you are currently online and you're an admin. Why do many users, including admins, make images in their userboxes bigger than 40px when Help:Userbox says that they can only be 40px? 20:07, 28 October 2016 (EDT)

Sockpuppet Userpage
Could you please delete 's Userpage, from what I've heard Sockpuppets aren't supposed to get userpages. 01:02, 29 October 2016 (EDT)

Demote Some Shroom Images to be Regular Images?
Here's a question about screenshot uploads specifically for The 'Shroom. Two images (possibly many more), File:Alpine-Pass-shortcut.png and File:Dino Dino Jungle Shortcut MK7.png, would be really good images for Rock Rock Mountain and Dino Dino Jungle respectively. Would it be a good idea to demote their 'Shroom Image status and just link them to the articles as well as The 'Shroom pages? I could even upload higher quality versions of these images. -- 23:11, 4 November 2016 (EDT)
 * It's perfectly fine to use them for regular articles. When it comes to uploading new revisions, the images have to be practically identical to the old image; if they're not, it would be better to upload them as a new file. -- 18:00, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
 * They were changed to reflect they are for Category:Mario Kart 7 Images instead of and have been updated with captures from HANS to be as close as possible to the original capture made by  and . -- 20:32, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
 * Impressive, how is that achieved? Them being nearly the same. -- 20:57, 5 November 2016 (EDT)


 * ...game categories and aren't mutually exclusive. Or, at least, they damn well shouldn't be! - Reboot (talk) 21:17, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
 * @ I don't think that is what was referring to. I don't have any secret of getting nearly identical screenshots. I guess it just comes down to practice or luck because I have submitted thousands of images since last year around this time. It's even more impressive that I am doing this on real hardware because emulation, you can slow down or control frame advancement. The technique just has much more hardcore execution in TAS-ing. -- 21:49, 5 November 2016 (EDT)

Possible discourtesy
I don't know if this is discourteous but a user used my old name in a talk page discussion with no mention of my current name. I felt like he was acting discourteous towards me (especially since he added that to the comment). I am pretty ashamed of that name. Since he did that and didn't mention my current name (not to mention I'm ashamed of the previous one), does this count as discourteous behaviour? 06:04, 6 November 2016 (EST)
 * I have had a few run-ins with him like this as well like this but I dismissed them (wrong move on my part) and are irrelevant now to do anything about due to policies stating that they can't be punished after that kind of length of time. I think a is acceptable to give him, but wait until  gives the final word. -- 05:01, 7 November 2016 (EST)
 * We are currently discussing this, I'll update you soon. -- 09:58, 7 November 2016 (EST)

Re: Moving images
will do next time, sorry about that. thanks! 15:24, 11 November 2016 (EST)

User subpage in wrong namespace
There is a subpage belonging to the user in the Template namespace. Could you please move it to the user namespace because last time I checked all subpages must be in the user namespace. 20:16, 15 November 2016 (EST)
 * Please link me to it. -- 23:49, 15 November 2016 (EST)
 * Here you go. 23:51, 15 November 2016 (EST)

Mario Maker 3DS Voices
Since Super Mario Maker for 3DS is basically a remake of the Wii U version and all the voices are the same, does this mean that the voice actors are official. If so, can I add the game to the portrayals list of their respective articles? 15:30, 17 November 2016 (EST)
 * Ports for which no new material was recorded should never be listed as the latest portrayal. Regardless, it's fine to include them in the portrayals list, but they should be accompanied by a note saying something like "(voice clips were reused from Super Mario Maker). -- 16:19, 17 November 2016 (EST)

linking in hatnotes
Hello. Is this way of linking allowed? I don't recall the policy stuff but Porplemontage once ran a bot to eliminate the use of "|here]]" in hatnotes so I guess it's undesirable... -- 23:28, 20 November 2016 (EST)
 * If Steve ran the bot to do that, then yes, it's undesirable. -- 23:33, 20 November 2016 (EST)

Rollback Question
Can you admins rollback an edit on a page if the page only has one contributor? If so what will happen? 17:41, 22 November 2016 (EST)
 * It can't be done, it would have to be manually undone. -- 20:12, 22 November 2016 (EST)

What was a "Shop"?
I've seen mention of a "Shop" on several talk pages, but apparently a proposal passed a while ago (before I registered) and they were all removed. I'm curious: what were they and how did they work? 19:46, 23 November 2016 (EST)
 * Ah, the infamous shops. They were pretty big a while ago; users would set up a "shop" in their userpage in which they would "sell" items of their choice. Other users could go to your talkpage and ask to "buy" them. Not sure how you even earned coins, it went against every law of economics. -- 21:41, 23 November 2016 (EST)
 * Were the coins used for something, like downloadable games? Or was it more of a "just for fun" thing? 00:45, 24 November 2016 (EST)
 * No, it was entirely a "just for fun" thing. -- 09:06, 24 November 2016 (EST)
 * Interesting. Were they removed due to having nothing to do with the wiki, or for some other reason? 11:51, 24 November 2016 (EST)


 * This proposal should be worth a look.


 * 12:21, 24 November 2016 (EST)
 * Huh. Yeah, I'll go "Per Walkazo" on that one. The shops certainly seemed like a fun concept and appears to have been fun for a time. But, yeah, there wasn't really much of a need for them, was there? Though it'd be fun to see them return in some way, perhaps on the forums where they're away from wikispace. 14:16, 24 November 2016 (EST)
 * They were quite distracting and unnecessary, yeah. There's nothing preventing them from taking place in the forums, so I guess just no one has felt like making one. -- 15:58, 24 November 2016 (EST)

Some anonymous user(s)
There are a few anons (I'm pretty sure it's all the same guy jumping from different IPs. They've been making somewhat unconstructive edits and all their edit summaries just have the name of the article edited rather than a proper edit summary describing what was changed. for example when this anon edited the Recipes page he puts down Recipes in the summary. I think this kind of behaviour is really weird, I told one of the IPs to put more appropriate summaries rather than the names of articles but they continued. One of the IPs has also been blocked twice. What should be done. 13:23, 24 November 2016 (EST)
 * Just link me to them as they pop up. -- 15:58, 24 November 2016 (EST)

Radio Contest Toad
There's no official name for this character, but the event is referred to as the "Trading Event" (capitalized) in the game. Any ideas? -- 07:15, 25 November 2016 (EST)
 * Trading Event Toad may be a better name. -- 15:48, 25 November 2016 (EST)

Shroom Article Edit

 * Special:WhatLinksHere/Shine Block (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)
 * Special:WhatLinksHere/Shine Block (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)

As you can see, those pages are pending deletion and they are linked on The 'Shroom:Issue 115/Pipe Plaza. Adult Shine Block, Small Shine Block, and Shine Block are their own articles. See Shine Block (disambiguation). Proposal passed. Should the section be rewritten or should the red link be allowed to stand? -- 02:42, 2 December 2016 (EST)
 * Just adding on to that:
 * The 'Shroom:Issue LXIX/The Fresh Paper Mario Returns
 * The 2-Fold Goomba image found here needs to be updated to the new file name:
 * File:2-Fold Goomba PMSS.png
 * -- 03:52, 2 December 2016 (EST)
 * For the Pipe Plaza one, I included the articles that were new at the time. If the article ends up getting deleted in the future, then it's mainly there for historical reference. 12:49, 2 December 2016 (EST)
 * I'll fake link-them, that way the article is not changed and there's no red link. -- 15:56, 2 December 2016 (EST)
 * After giving it more thought, is right and  made a good call with that  thing. -- 22:22, 4 December 2016 (EST)

Hide revision
Hi Tucayo! Could you please hide the revision done by the vandal on my talk page, I found it inappropriate. -- 23:18, 7 December 2016 (EST)
 * Hi! Sure thing. -- 23:19, 7 December 2016 (EST)
 * Thank you. :) -- 23:19, 7 December 2016 (EST)

Problem on the Mario Boards
I just finished serving a 30-day ban from the Mario Boards and I can see the boards now, but I can't post, see anyone's profiles, or PM anyone on the boards. Why not? And how long until that fixes itself? Thank you. 19:36, 10 December 2016 (EST)
 * I have to start with the obvious: are you logged in? Are you sure the 30 days have passed? If the problem persists, please contact, he's a Global Mod on the forums. -- 19:41, 10 December 2016 (EST)
 * It just fixed itself, thankfully. Everything on the boards is fine now. Thanks for the help.  19:43, 10 December 2016 (EST)

Personal Sig Image
I couldn't help but notice I think your sig image isn't using the right copyright tag. I think it should use instead of  because it uses the Jade Raven, a sprite from a copyrighted game. I didn't want to edit the image page without running it by you first. -- 18:36, 11 December 2016 (EST)
 * You're correct, the latter would be better. Thanks. -- 18:40, 11 December 2016 (EST)
 * OK. Edit made. -- 18:46, 11 December 2016 (EST)

Image Placement
I think this would be a cool image to have on the wiki, but I have no idea where it should go. Think you can find a home? 22:37, 12 December 2016 (EST)
 * I can think of a potential home but it's honestly quite a stretch. List of Mario references on the Internet, add a section for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (since it was a YouTube exclusive) and mention that the video shows Miyamoto guessing the size of various random objects, among them a ? Block. Granted, the best image to have would be of him with the block. As I said, it's quite a stretch, the mage doesn't relate to Mario so the best would probably be a PI. -- 23:44, 12 December 2016 (EST)
 * Hm. I've already hit my max four. 'Course I could just make one a sig image and make the Miyamoto one my PI. Would that work? Like you said, the pic wouldn't exactly fit anywhere else, so I guess I'll do that. 00:30, 13 December 2016 (EST)
 * EDIT: It appears included it as part of Miyamoto's promotional photos. That a good place?  00:32, 13 December 2016 (EST)
 * Eh, it's by no means a promotional photo. I'm willing to let it stay there but don't be surprised if it gets deleted. -- 19:28, 13 December 2016 (EST)
 * If there really isn't a good place for it on this wiki, then feel free to delete it. I tried finding a good place for it other than as an PI, but I can't. Go ahead. 19:30, 13 December 2016 (EST)

Should something be done here
User doesn't appear to have any intent on being an contributing user, as they've been mostly keeping to their own userspace. The only time they edited mainspace was the five edits done before they became autoconfirmed. Should I go ahead an issue a userspace warning? 17:57, 11 January 2017 (EST)
 * Nvm. gave him one.  18:35, 11 January 2017 (EST)

Hoye Tucayo, ¿crees que se podría hacer artículos sobre las diferentes fuentes de letra que usan los videojuegos de Mario y relacionados?


 * Hola! Estuve hablando con otros administradores y no creemos que haya suficiente contenido para este artículo, a lo mucho podría ser una galería pero aún así habría que ver si hay suficiente contenido para una página bien hecha. Saludos! -- 21:07, 17 January 2017 (EST)

Talk:Nintendo Switch
Hey! Do you protect talk pages? If so, could you protect Talk:Nintendo Switch to prevent anons from adding forum talk, or is it not necessary? 18:20, 23 January 2017 (EST)
 * Seeing how none of the edits by anons have been productive, then yes, 2 months would be good, so that it expires a couple of weeks after the release. -- 21:48, 23 January 2017 (EST)
 * Maaaaaaay want to do the same to Talk:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Talk: Super Mario Odyssey as well. They've been receiving some anonymous forum talk too... 22:40, 23 January 2017 (EST)
 * Look at those pages' history, the unconstructive edits are not as many. I'll keep an eye of them and if they increase I'll protect them as well. -- 22:49, 23 January 2017 (EST)

Can You Fix the Poll Error?
"Animal Crossing" is supposed to be italicized like "The Legend of Zelda." It's a minor error, but fixing it will make the main page look more professional (new viewers might think "Animal Crossing" is some kind of weird verb). Can you fix it?  BNK [ E 09:10, 23 February 2017 (EST)
 * Fixed. Talking about fixing, please fix your sig according to this section so the code doesn't get pasted into every page. -- 11:27, 23 February 2017 (EST)

Off Waves
If possible, can you go into the history of Off Waves from before it was deleted yesterday and send me the information on the page from the most recent edit before it was marked for deletion? 13:04, 20 March 2017 (EDT)
 * Huh, what's even happening with that page? Here you go. Line breaks won't show in the page but you can take a look at the coding.

The Off Waves are an immensely powerful attack used by Tabuu in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's adventure mode, The Subspace Emissary. To use it, Tabuu reveals his wings and releases a red shockwave that can instantly turn fighters into a trophies.

Tabuu first uses the Off Waves when the characters enter Subspace. After Master Hand is defeated, Tabuu unleashes the attack to transform every fighter into a trophy. Luigi, Ness, and Kirby are revived by King Dedede's brooches and they begin reviving the fighters as they travel through Subspace. After traversing The Great Maze, they encounter Tabuu again. He prepares his Off Waves again, but Sonic attacks him and breaks Tabuu's wings, rendering his Off Waves unable to turn the fighters back into trophies.

During the final boss battle with Tabuu, he uses the Off Waves by flying into the background and releasing them across the screen. It is a One-Hit KO and can only be avoided by rolling or sidestepping. Tabuu will use the Off Waves every eighth move.

Wrong link
The link to The 'Shroom Spotlight that appears at the top of the site when I am logged in links to issue 119 of The 'Shroom instead of issue 120. Is that something you can possibly fix?

The redirect was recently deleted, but some people type with all lowercase letters. In that case, before it got deleted, I tried it and it didn't even take me to the actual page. If you try it, then you'll experience the same results. By the way, according to Redirects, typing "super mario galaxy" in the search box for example takes readers to the main page about the game. It doesn't work for this particular redirect. Could it be possible to restore the redirect so that it works properly? And if not, try to find some other way around it? – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 14:18, 8 April 2017 (EDT)
 * There you go, I moved the Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga redirect to all lowercase and now it works for both capitalizations. -- 14:25, 8 April 2017 (EDT)
 * Perfect! Just tested it myself and it worked flawlessly. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 14:31, 8 April 2017 (EDT)

Should the Unagi the Eel redirect be moved to ? The same problem happens with that redirect, along with the fact that the official capitalization of the name is "Unagi the eel" and not "Unagi the Eel". -- 21:24, 9 April 2017 (EDT)

and I have been discussing the redirect Afoot in the Foothills, which has a similar issue to the redirects mentioned above. Toadette says that the redirect should stay the way it is, while I said it should be changed to lowercase to fix the issues. Do you think it should be fixed like the above redirects, or should it be kept the same? Also, rule number 4 on Redirects was brought up, and we would like to know if it is saying that redirects must be obscure enough to not be on any MediaWiki searches, or if it is specifically saying that redirects like "Super Mario odyssey" or "New Super mario bros. wii" are unnecessary due to pages with the same name. -- 20:25, 23 April 2017 (EDT)
 * The thing about that redirect is that users may try to directly link to Afoot in the Foothills, so moving to lowercase will leave a red link in the proper capitalization. Let me consult with the admins so we agree on something consistent to be done. Regarding the rule, it's the latter; there's no point in a "Super Mario odyssey" redirect. -- 16:58, 25 April 2017 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks! I it didn't even occur to me that it would create a red link with the proper capitalization. -- 17:03, 25 April 2017 (EDT)
 * Steve has decided to allow both the all-lowercase and the proper capitalization redirects in cases such as this, so both Afoot in the Foothills and afoot in the foothills should be redirects. -- 02:38, 26 April 2017 (EDT)

Template needs a tweak
, I noticed that a magic word is wrong. should be. Why? it omits anything after the slash, which is the current talk page. -- 17:43, 4 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Sure thing. -- 18:13, 4 May 2017 (EDT)

Help solving sig redirect
When User:Slytherin was renamed to User:Lava Spire Daredevil Run, her signature page got a little screwed up, showing a redirect within her signature. Would deleting the original signature page fix the problem? 18:38, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Deleting that page would have caused red links, the problem was caused due to a previous rename leaving a double redirect in her original sig page. The problems should be solved now. -- 20:22, 7 May 2017 (EDT)
 * It is solved. Thank you so much for your help!  07:39, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
 * No problem :) -- 11:26, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
