Re:New account
Cool, I was going to suggest registering since you seemed to be fairly active already. LinkTheLefty (talk) 03:00, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

Thwomps and junk
There was. It was mentioned at the top. As for the Fat Guys, there's no way that was a mistake, it was a "King" variant. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:45, 27 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Well they repurposed a generic Boo artwork for Big Boo, so it wouldn't surprise me. This was for the same game that reused Chomp Shark's sprites exactly with no changes at all. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:52, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

Huffin Puffin and Fluffin' Puffin
In my opinion, it should be split or renamed. I actually suggested it a while back, but nothing ever came of it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:12, 28 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Since you're not yet autoconfirmed, I can propose it for you if you'd like. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:28, 28 August 2018 (EDT)
 * No, but you should be promoted to autoconfirmed status sometime tomorrow. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:41, 28 August 2018 (EDT)

Re:Green Toady's Japanese description
From Shogakukan:

フラフラと近 づき、ふれると急 にスピードアップして赤 ちゃんをさらって行 く. さらわれたらすぐに追 いかけてうばい返 そう.

My translation:

''Waveringly approaching, contact makes it suddenly speed up and snatch the baby. As soon as he's taken away, let's give chase and return him.''

Basically what you'd expect, I should think. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:53, 29 August 2018 (EDT)


 * I meant that the guides just describe whatever one happens to be pictured. So Shogakukan's [[media:Advance_3_Shogakukan_P16.png|Game Boy Advance]] guide shows and describes Green Toady, but the [[media:Super_Mario_Yossy_Island_Shogakukan_P4_P5.jpg|Super Famicom]] version has Kamek's Toady and the [[media:Yoshi_New_Island_Shogakukan_P20.jpg|Yoshi's New Island]] one has Solo Toady, and they all have the name Kokamek.

Image reuploads
Uploading a new version of an image can be glitchy. Press Ctrl+F5 to refresh your browser and have the most recent image show up. 13:04, 30 August 2018 (EDT)
 * You're welcome!  Now to delete all those image revisions.    13:09, 30 August 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, when you move images, be sure to correct the links that lead to it. You can find these links by clicking the "What links here" tool on the sidebar while on the page. The file redirect should also be marked for deletion. 13:20, 30 August 2018 (EDT)

Sure, I'd just prefer if the file-naming standard of the project was followed. And try to make them distinct. If I have them in a specific pose (such as the open-mouthed Hootie and Dangling Ghost), I'd like if that were still in the image, as it shows more of the enemy than otherwise.

Also

For this instance, the files you just uploaded would use Category:Yoshi's New Island Images. 02:09, 31 August 2018 (EDT)
 * For images, it's ""., for example. The category link would replace the  template's place.  02:13, 31 August 2018 (EDT)

Signature
Hello. Just letting you know that your signature currently violates a few rules outlined in Signatures: More information can be found on the signatures policy page I linked. 08:02, 1 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Your signature is too long. It should be shortened to fit in the box above.
 * Your signature should include your username, or a variation/nickname that lets others know it's you (just "Yoshi" isn't very recognisable).
 * You're adding your signature as raw code. Now that you're autoconfirmed, you should copy/paste your signature code to a signature subpage (User:FanOfYoshi/sig), then change your preferences accordingly (in the text field under "Signature", type in User:FanOfYoshi/sig, tick the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" check box below it, then hit save; your signature then appears as  plus the timestamp when you sign with   instead of the entire code (the individual Yoshi GIF, contributions URL etc.))
 * Yep, looks good. Just copy/paste that to your signature page and change your preferences. 08:08, 1 September 2018 (EDT)


 * You're still signing with raw code. Did you add User:FanOfYoshi/sig to the text field and tick the checkbox in your signature preferences?


 * This is just so your signature page is transcluded to every comment you sign, not the actual coding, so if you ever change User:FanOfYoshi/sig, the changes are reflected in all of your previous signed comments. This is also helpful if, for example, a larger version of the image is uploaded and it gets in the way of other talk page comments, since you can resize it on one page rather than having to go back and do it for every time the image was used. 23:23, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

gimp
From what I've heard, Gimp has terrible user-friendliness. Use Paint.net instead. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:24, 1 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Paint.net is a different program, which I use for sprite and art transparency. However, it requires a download, but is free and open-source. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:48, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

Re:Giant Raven's description in generic Raven?
From Shogakukan:

大 きくなったひなキュー. 地続 きの地形 なら、天井 や壁 でも歩 いて移動 する. 地面 にいるときに踏 んで倒 そう. <span class="explain" title="たお">倒 すと、<span class="explain" title="かく">隠 れたアイ テムが<span class="explain" title="しゅつげん">出現 することもある.

My translation:

''A bigger Hinakyu. It is on Earth-like terrain, as well as walks on ceilings and walls. A grounded stomp will defeat it. Upon defeat, a hidden item may also appear.''

The guide unfortunately doesn't give a name to the giant Raven. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:20, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

Project page
Your project page is meant for working on projects related to helping the wiki. What you have on your project page looks more like fan ideas that would be better suited to our forums. The information can be brought there, but it shouldn't be on the project page. 11:18, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
 * No. Subpages should only be used for wiki-related matters. There is a Fan-creations board on the forums, though. 11:26, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
