RE: Nominating a character article to be a FA
So back on March 6, I nominated a character article to be featured on this very wiki. But as of today, it has not gotten any single response aside from mine. What is up with that? 08:17, March 9, 2023 (EST)
 * It's really just a matter of whether people see that it has a nomination going or not. 09:48, March 9, 2023 (EST)

Mario Movie Gallery Question
Hi there, This user threatened to report me if I undo their edits. It stemmed from a misunderstanding over at the Mario Mover Gallery. It truly was not my intention to cause any trouble, I'm just doing my best to clarify the context of the art. Hope everything can be sorted out!

Help with Images
Hello, I should have been more specific. I don't know how to get the images from my Switch to my laptop. - User:Luigi 1837

Thank you! I didn't know about the function. - User:Luigi 1837

Hello, can you please help me? I'm trying to make the Minecraft Blocks and Items list into a gallery with all of the images, but I'm having trouble making it. How can I do it? - User:Luigi 1837

Thank you for the info! I'll firstly finish uploading all of the images I have and then I'll go though them and add the licensing and other info. Another thing, should I get images for the characters too? - User:Luigi 1837 P.S.- By any chance do you know how to change the background color of user pages, because I've been wanting to change my user pages background color, but don't know how to.
 * I believe there are images for the characters in Minecraft already, and as for your userpage color I'm not sure how to do that either. You should probably ask someone who has done that with their userpage. 12:27, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

That's good, because it would be a painful process of going through them and adding the licensing and categories, I'll ask about the coloring to someone else. I'm not sure if the character images are uploaded, because they've been asked for in the spotlight. Thanks for the help! -User:Luigi 1837 P.S. Is there by any chance a way to upload multiple images at once or is it only possible by doing one at a time?

Sorry, if I have broken a rule or something! I didn't realize I had broken a rule. I thought it would be easier to just upload the images first and then go through and add the categories. I'm still new to the wiki, so I'm really sorry for breaking a rule! I'm going to ask you now about the descriptions, do I have to fill them in also or can I just fill in the licensing and categories? I don't want to break another rule. -User:Luigi 1837
 * The descriptions should be filled in too (wasn't sure if there was a reminder template relating to that as well), and any parameters that you won't use can be removed. 14:39, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

And does the artist section have to be filled too or not, because I don't know who to wright in it. -User:Luigi 1837
 * If it's an in-game screenshot, then the parameter can be removed. 14:46, March 15, 2023 (EDT)


 * Sorry, can you please explain what did you mean with removing the parameter, and does it have to be removed? And sorry, but I still didn't understand what I need to wright in the parameter. -User:Luigi 1837
 * Can you please check if I've done the info and things on the images correctly, when you've got time, Thanks! I'll be uploading the last images tomorrow, then making the gallery. I'm really sorry again for breaking a rule by mistake! -User:Luigi 1837
 * The three edits I did on the images just now show what I mean. 16:30, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'll make the changes tomorrow. -User:Luigi 1837

My featured article nom.
It has already passed the 19:28 schedule, when the article would get feech'd. Can you please incorportate the fa status into the affected article? Thank you 19:37, March 30, 2023 (EDT)
 * You can put the featured template on the article the moment the nomination is over and passed. 20:08, March 30, 2023 (EDT)

It had to be said
Your own username makes this block infinitely funnier than what would have otherwise been bland immaturity. Along with the word "block" being there. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:40, April 4, 2023 (EDT)
 * Honestly I'm not sure whether to feel embarressed or amused by this, especially since the reason behind my username is actually explained on my userpage. 11:48, April 4, 2023 (EDT)

Props!
Props for the promotion, you definitely earned it through your hard work on this wiki!—Mister Wu (talk) 07:21, April 6, 2023 (EDT)
 * Thank you for the kind words. I'll be honest, there's something that happened outside the wiki which I'd rather not talk about here, and I'm not in a very good way right now. Really wish things were better, just might take it easy for a little while. 07:27, April 7, 2023 (EDT)

Question 4 Ya
What happened to Mario Wiki on April 1? Was it vandalized? ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345

Updating MarioWiki:References
Due to two proposals which passed last year, one of which was by you, References needs to be updated. I left the suggestions in its talk page.--Platform (talk) 12:00, April 21, 2023 (EDT)

Question
Hey, I was just going to ignore this and I already message Waluigi Time about it, but this user is making backhanded comments about me and I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation. It started when they deleted a message off my talk page that I simply reverted as I want to respect that messages should not be removed from talk pages. I haven't been on much because of other commitments so I simply said on my user page I wasn't editing much. Now every time I made small edits such as in the gallery for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, []they []are []using edit summaries to call me out on this, when I feel I have not done anything pernsonal to them except ask politely to not remove messages from my talk page. Thanks for your time.

Sdman213 (talk) 11:46, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
 * That kind of behaviour definitely isn't acceptable, staff is currently deciding how to handle it. 12:10, May 10, 2023 (EDT)


 * Thank you so much, have a nice day! Sdman213 (talk) 12:12, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Merge templates
As i'm not as active as i once was, nor do i check up on pages that regularly, i couldn't know about that proposal. Thanks for letting me know. -- 04:13, July 3, 2023 (EDT)
 * Does it also apply to removing something from a page, like the Piranha Plant king? -- 03:28, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Re:Move templates
I'm sorry, but some of these are either policy-driven or self-evident, and thus don't require much of any discussion to begin with, just routine second-guessing the information present in the articles. All it does is slow down or obfuscate sensible moves that would have been made a while ago by editors more familiar with those subjects. What happens if discussion stalls anyway? We just leave certain outstanding changes to obscurity? I don't really get it since the meta category templates were hidden for a reason, I presume. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:18, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
 * The proposal didn't account for any exceptions, so either there's a discussion somewhere or the template doesn't go on the page, simple as that. The template gets removed if said discussion is deemed inactive. If anyone more familiar with these subjects comes across these and wants to move them, then it would be up to them to bring it up in the talk page and put the template on the article. 13:34, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
 * I need a little more clarification. Are you saying it's necessary for every article that dropped those templates to have their discussions (re)opened? That's not what I'm seeing in the proposal. It's just about the use of the templates. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:47, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
