Sig
Hi! ok, look, I want to make a signature for me but the help page is WAY too confusing. So scince you created this wiki(Thank you) I was wondering if you can explain in a simpler way. I want it to have Wiggler and Swiggler and Lakithunder on it!Ratfink43
 * Well you can edit your sig page and add the appropriate images there. Then link to it at the end of your postings with . -- 17:23, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Wow... -- 17:23, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Main page
What do you think of the issue I brought up on Talk: Main Page?-- 19:19, 25 November 2009 (EST)
 * I've taken your advice; right now moving, uploading, and creating pages require membership for a week. -- 15:55, 26 November 2009 (EST)


 * Do the changes take time to be in effect? Because recently, a new user created some spam pages and the account was only one day old.-- 19:23, 28 November 2009 (EST)
 * What pages did he create? -- 00:09, 29 November 2009 (EST)


 * Sega is our enemy! and Fire Toadstool.--

Alright it works now! -- 00:31, 29 November 2009 (EST)

What does Sega have to do anything?--User:Tigger416/Sig}}
 * They wrote the Bible. -- 17:24, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Tucayo, said that I should ask you for the final ok on affiliation with [Boo Mansion]. Just take a look at the Affiliation talk page. Thanks! -BooMansion 04:11, 8 December 2009 (EST)
 * Looks good. Please add your button! -- 23:16, 8 December 2009 (EST)

I need help on my Sig. I just need the link to make one. Please put it on my Talk. Oh and by the way, what was the last comment Andre [the user] posted? Thanks!

A Modest Proposal
Please read this topic and respond. 20:59, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Hex Colors
Hey, Steve. I know I haven't been on for a year, but can I use the Color Code Page you made on the wiki I support? GreenBoo 21:57, 23 December 2009 (EST)
 * Yes. -- 22:06, 23 December 2009 (EST)

Travix M.
So you show yourself on my userpage huh, good. Nice wiki. Do you wanna be friends? And do you want to join my wiki? tell me ASAP. Thanks!

P.s. Im trying to get to the chat room but its not letting me. What do I do? whats the reason?
 * Your wiki doesn't make any sense to me. Make sure you're down with Java. -- 21:18, 24 December 2009 (EST)

I have Javascript, but it still won't let me through the chat. Travix M.

Also, can this wiki be an afflite to Mario & Sonic Thug Wiki?
 * Sure, just add the button. Also Java is not the same as Javascript. -- 21:38, 23 January 2010 (EST)

Would you know where the Affliates are? I downloaded Java. Do you want to be friends? Oh, and can I upload Bowser Jr.'s moter-boat from Super Mario Sunshine? As well as his hot air balloon? Travix M.

How did you create the button? Can you show me how? Cause I don't know how.
 * I didn't create it. -- 19:09, 1 February 2010 (EST)

Uniju
Could you make him a level 150 in chat, please? It's been decided that he deserves the promotion. 02:50, 25 December 2009 (EST)
 * Yeah... -- 03:20, 25 December 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks. 03:34, 25 December 2009 (EST)

Sitenotice
Hi Steve! I noticed Sitenotice was taken out for the need of extra ad space, do you think those ads could be moved somewhere else so sitenotice can still be used? Perhaps to the bottom of the toolbox thing in the left? -- 10:46, 27 December 2009 (EST)
 * The Announcement box on the main page was created as a substitute. What news do you have that is so important it needs to be displayed on every wiki page? Plus the caching would delay the message for guests. -- 15:38, 27 December 2009 (EST)
 * Well, I was thinking of announcing The 'Shroom, as it used to be done. -- 18:35, 27 December 2009 (EST)

Website
You know ya make MarioWiki? Can you tell me how to make a website? I really want one.
 * Search Google for web hosts. -- 16:03, 6 January 2010 (EST)

Forum
Hi Steve! Can you please check this and respond? Thanks! -- 11:48, 9 January 2010 (EST)
 * Sorry to bother again, but its very important you cehck this and this. Thanks! -- 22:23, 17 January 2010 (EST)
 * Yeah don't worry I'm in talks on this stuff. -- 22:52, 17 January 2010 (EST)

Interwiki LInks
Hi Steve! Sorry to bother, but could you please remove the interwiki link to Wikia? And perhaps add some to Bulbapedia and ZeldaWiki?? Thanks! -- 21:38, 25 January 2010 (EST)

Sidebar
Sorry to bother again Steve, but what do you think of including this in the bottom of the sidebar? -- 16:55, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * I like it with just text. -- 18:12, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Ok, then text it is :) -- 18:18, 8 February 2010 (EST)

Affiliation
Hello, Steve. I was wondering if an affiliation with the Super Mario Wiki and the Kirby Wiki would be possible. With the Zelda Wiki and the Bulbapedia already affiliated with the Mario Wiki, I think an affiliation between our two Wikis would be suited.
 * Are you refering to WiKirby? --


 * Actually, he was referring to this one.--
 * Actually, long story short, we're creating an alliance of Independent Nintendo Wikis (NIWA), so affiliation with Wikia may not be a very good thing. --

We're working on our own Kirby thing so give us all your articles and I think we can be friends. -- 19:29, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Can you elaborate on this "Kirby thing"?
 * I don't know anything about it. -- 20:00, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * So you're working on something you have no knowledge of?
 * He's kidding about giving us the articles by the way. I'm the one working on it and the one that paid for the domain and hosting. So, we are just getting started and still debugging some skins, creating articles and we don't want paste jobs from anywhere. The URL hasn't been submitted to Google yet, because we want to finish the groundwork and get a staff together before a full launch. Axiomist 20:19, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Per Axiomist. YOu will see more info in this month's Shroom. -- 21:22, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Alright, so no on the Kirby Wiki? BTW, Axiomist, will WiKirby be covering everything from the games to the anime?--
 * Why did you choose .info? -- 22:17, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * They say it seemed fitting for a wiki. And that its completely unregulated. And yes, anime will be covered as well. -- 22:21, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Ah, the animes are kinda hard to find these days. Well I'll just fix up a few problems here and there, but nothing major. .info seems pretty weird, though.--

We'll find em ;) And, Steve, if its in my palce to ask, what were those edits to Sidebar2 and the Sidebar3? WHere will the alliance box be? Thanks -- 22:38, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * SB3. -- 22:44, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Well, I feel I shouldhelp you guys out, so I can probably find you the English episodes on YouTube that I know of.--

Is it true?
I heard about this alliance between Zelda Wiki, Bulbapedia and Mario Wiki over on Bulbapedia. Is it true? Because if it is, it would be AWESOME. ZeroLatios 19:46, 15 February 2010 (EST)
 * To answer your question: Yes, it is. --

Red link
Hi, Steve. I've been going around removing useless red links, and I found quite a few broken links in your archive. Could you remove them, please?
 * Sorry. I don't want to touch my archive. -- 18:38, 24 February 2010 (EST)

Regarding the Table Button Proposal
It would be helpful if you told us if it is possible. Thnk you. LucariosAura (used to be specialk) 10:47, 24 February 2010 (EST)
 * Well it would need an extension. Even if there was one I probably wouldn't mess with it anyway. -- 18:38, 24 February 2010 (EST)

New!
we have great things about u and we want you to join us at VGH to help with articles and doing so involves $$$ the link to the site is down below as my name. it links to my user page on the site or u can reply on my talk page here as my user name is johnnylightning. if u help us with creating articles at VGH the reward is big $$$ Jonathan Smith
 * No thanks. -- 14:09, 11 March 2010 (EST)

Forum Problem
I changed my e-mail to my Gmail account, but I guess my Gmail account didn't accept the activation message and it was blocked as spam. In any case, could you please re-activate my account?


 * Ok. -- 14:09, 11 March 2010 (EST)

Galleries
The other sysops and I would like to add another namespace. Could you please add this to localsettings.php? $wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "Gallery"; $wgExtraNamespaces[101] = "Gallery_talk";

16:17, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
 * Sounds grand. -- 17:05, 14 March 2010 (EDT)

Archive
Hi Steve!Can you please tell me how to make a talk archive?
 * Move content to a new subpagge. -- 17:15, 14 April 2010 (EDT)

Sitenotice
Hi Steve. I come representing the Shroom Core Staff, and I wanted to ask you, is there a way we could put sitenotice to use again? I know it is used for extra ad space, but those can be moved to below the sidebar, or at the page bottom. Or perhaps use the sitenotice text below the ad? Thanks. -- 15:55, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
 * We've been over this. Answer is the same, sorry. -- 17:15, 14 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok. And do you think it would be possible to add a template for The 'Shroom on the main page? -- 17:20, 14 April 2010 (EDT)
 * You can look into taking over the "MarioWiki Community" box. -- 18:01, 14 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks :) I will show you a draft before I add it. -- 22:16, 14 April 2010 (EDT)

Subpages
Hi!It's me again,can you tell me how many subpages a user has the right to create?
 * No number limit. -- 18:34, 16 April 2010 (EDT)

Thanks man!

Some questions about dates
Hi Steve! I am doing some research about the wiki, and tehre are some dates I wanted to know, I hope you can tell them to me :) I would really appreciate if you could tell me those dates :) -- 18:10, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
 * WHen was the forum created?
 * When were DK Wiki, Yoshi Wiki and Wario WIki created?
 * When were they deleted?
 * The forum is my join date October 15, 2006, 12:30:54 AM. Don't know the others. -- 23:58, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks :) I will get to investigate them. -- 11:45, 12 May 2010 (EDT)

Ads
I'm pretty much new to this whole site, but I know you as the fellow who made the e-mail in sbemail #117. I also see you're the founder of the site. So I ask you, is there some way we can keep these annoying ads from appearing on the top, the right side, and the bottom of every page? The HR Wiki is ad-free, but why is the site not the same way?--Part Italian 01:11, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
 * The HRWiki is supported by donations. We tried that but it did not work, so we need ads. If you really don't like them, adblock is always an option. -- 13:49, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
 * Ohhhh, now I understand. I guess the same thing goes for the other sites, like Bulbapedia. --Part Italian 01:27, 20 May 2010 (EDT)

Can you help me?
Hi, I want to know, can I have permission merge some of the Donkey Kong related info from here to the DK Wiki? This wiki has quite a lot of DK info compared to the DK Wiki's. I tried asking on the main page, but a user said I should consult you. HavocReaper48 19:21, 23 May 2010 (EDT)
 * You may use the articles for information, but we ask that you not copy our articles directly. It's beneficial to both sites to have original content. -- 20:10, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080511072328/streetfighter/images/d/d6/Dan-snk-classic.gif Thanks ! HavocReaper48 20:22, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

Page
Could you create my page? --Toa11 14:48, 3 June 2010 (EDT)
 * Your user page? -- 14:51, 3 June 2010 (EDT)

Moving ads
Hi Steve! Is it me, or do the ads now move when you scroll the page? This leaves a huge space at the end of pages (at least in my computer) -- 16:28, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
 * Space should be gone. -- 16:30, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks -- 16:33, 4 June 2010 (EDT)

MediaWiki Upgrade
Hello, I had originally posted this on the proposals page but I was directed to you. I just joined this wiki and am currently waiting for autoconfirmed to start editing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and I've noticed that this wiki is running on an extremely old version of MediaWiki. Upgrading to MediaWiki 1.15.4 would not take very long (no more than 20-30 minutes per server but more like 5 if you have only one server) and it would introduce several bugfixes and new features that would make MarioWiki run more smoothly. I have experience running MediaWiki sites and will gladly answer any questions. Additional upgrade information can be found on MediaWiki's Web Site.
 * Okay. Thanks for your concern. -- 14:46, 5 June 2010 (EDT)

Wiki?
Steve? What's happening here? The wiki's words aren't visible and this morning, when I access this website, it says mario is not amused or something. Is there a problem?
 * I upgraded MediaWiki. If you run across any more problems report them too! -- 07:00, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Now we can't see Japanese characters, and Fawfulfury65's name from the MarioWiki Community box on the Main Page is stuffed up. And the who's online thing... (This is not a complaint)
 * Maybe the media wiki thing is the reason?

It definitely is. Japanese characters still work, but they need to be entered in again. -- 07:16, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Problemes
Okay, there are two recent changes links on the left bar(or whatever it's called), and the who's online thing on recent change doesn't work. All I can say for now!
 * The new Who's Online thing is a link; click it for the list of people. -- 07:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Japanese characters definitely do not work as of now. ??????????? 08:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * They work, but they were all lost. For example, I fixed Shigeru Miyamoto. -- 08:06, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Wait, Porplemontage, the Mario is not amused. thing is part of this thing right. I thought someone was trying to hack into my account! Thanks goodness, but anyways, it's looking good. --
 * Yes. -- 08:10, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

I can only see 3 question marks for Miyamoto's name. 08:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a problem on your end. -- 08:10, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, it's not. It's the same here. - 08:13, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, take a look at the top of the king boo article!
 * Now I'm noticing some problems. I'll see if it's just for me, but can you check your userpage and everyone else reading this and can you see if the actions at the top (Userpage, Discussion, edit, etc...) and the boxes to the left (mario knowledge, navigation, search, etc...) are separated from, for example, the mario knowledge box appears at the top of my page, but everything else appears at the bottom. ANd Ralphan's sig is screwing up. --
