User talk:Mario jc

User Page User Box Mess
kind of has an issue with his user page relating to File:Dry Bowser MSOWG.jpg as it covers up the navigation pane to the left. Would it be in MarioWiki's best interest for a sysop like you to edit the userpage by scaling down the image to around 70px width instead of its full width? -- 01:19, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Sig Suggestion
User:/sig, I have a suggestion:

M ario JC
 * Current

M [ ario] JC
 * Tweaked

M [ ario] JC
 * Click edit to see syntax

This is all thanks to Magic Words. If you don't want the arrow, you can ario or. This is just in case if decides to change the domain (URL). -- 03:41, 9 February 2017 (EST)

A User's Submissions
Special:ListFiles/Yes man - 's submissions kind of bug me. Is there any benefit to submitting a separate image where the background is removed? His latest submission, this is the source. Also he only links them to the gallery pages. I say he should just upload over the previous version so we have less images to keep track of. I've also had problems with these for more examples: I tried once to get him to change and nothing came of it. What do you think? What do other sysops think? -- 14:58, 10 February 2017 (EST)

 * File:Mario Kart DS Itembox.png - File:ItemBoxMKDS.png


 * I can agree to an extent if the isolated version is different than the full picture but I think that should try making his own renders instead of using high quality uploads as his base. That way there is enough variation to warrant his separate uploads. -- 23:39, 15 February 2017 (EST)
 * I wouldn't say that but the angle looks kind of weird. -- 05:01, 16 February 2017 (EST)

Need an Edit
Proposals/Header, a proposal just passed to create and I think it would be a good idea to make the talk page proposal section reflect that is now an official template, preferably somewhere in rule #1. -- 23:42, 24 February 2017 (EST)

So, he finally showed up. Thanks for taking care of him so quickly. 12:38, 26 February 2017 (EST)
 * The Airship page seems to be a common target, specifically for the content that PhazonCreeper started, as it's been attacked frequently. The page has been locked twice now I think, perhaps it might be best to lock the page to autoconfirmed and above indefinitely? 18:40, 26 February 2017 (EST)
 * Alright, but the IP isn't blocked indefinitely, and he seems pretty determined to ruin the page, so. 18:53, 26 February 2017 (EST)

Np
No problem. Although this coincidence happens a bit too often, at least it's kinda funny. 03:18, 9 March 2017 (EST)

RE:RogueSphere5678

 * I realized as soon as I saw your message that I had made a mistake. My friend is over and he made an account... on my computer. Don't worry, I'm not sockpuppeting. If this is a problem, I suppose his account could be deleted and he could remake it at his house, but that would screw up the one contribution he made. Is there a way to move the IP info when he goes home?

 * On the subject of RogueSphere5678, we were wondering if it would be legal for me to upload a file we made and for him to use it as a sig. Would that be cheating the autoconfirm system?

Protection
Hi, could you please indefinitely fully protect Proposals/Archive 46? Thanks! 21:22, 29 March 2017 (EDT)

Image Replaced but Used in a Template
File:Francis SPM trans.png replaces File:Normal lizardguy.jpg but the older image is still being used by and needs to be changed. -- 14:08, 4 April 2017 (EDT)

Please
Please unblock my account Polterpup, and my IP address, I lost the password for Mario 3 Fan. 165.234.100.15 09:24, 6 April 2017 (EDT)

RE: Wormhole (disambiguation)
Well, there is vortex and portal, but I am not sure to include them. Also there are many disambiguation pages with two subjects. Worm hole is tricky because of its conjectural name. Come to think of it, it has the same problem beehive once had. would support my page creation. That's why I went with it. -- 03:44, 7 April 2017 (EDT)

Thank you
Thanks for understanding. Keep up the good work! =) Polterpup (talk) 09:11, 7 April 2017 (EDT)

What do you mean?

What do you mean in Daisy page?

Hello!
What is don't adding false information to articles, adding fan made contents?

Koopa Troopa
Why did you remove my edit? Look at the Blue Beach Koopa and compare it to other Beach Koopas. --90.113.167.250 09:46, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

Shy Guy
Why did you remove my edit? It was correct. Unless it was poorly written and already written on a page... -_- --90.113.167.250 02:32, 23 April 2017 (EDT)

Moved File
I moved a bunch of files, one of them being File:Overworld Theme.OGG to File:Overworld Theme.ogg, but Help:Namespace needs to be edited to accommodate the change. Please fix it? -- 00:21, 28 April 2017 (EDT)

Now more modifications for Help namespace need to be performed because OGG files have been moved using a more appropriate extension:
 * Help:Namespace
 * Media:Overworld Theme.ogg - Media:Overworld Theme.oga
 * File:SMK MC1.ogg - File:SMK MC1.ogv
 * Help:License
 * Audio clips section will use  and video clips section will use.

For clarification editing Help:Licensing. There are other audio formats supported by the OGG spec, like Opus, Speex, and FLAC for audio, but those rarely, if at all, get used on the Wiki. More information: For daily MarioWiki editing and uploads, OGA use Vorbis, OGV use Theora or Theora+Vorbis. -- 21:33, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Theora - *.ogv
 * Vorbis - *.oga


 * Okay, done. Hope that's all correct. 21:50, 3 May 2017 (EDT)


 * Analyzing Xiph's documentation, my recommendations are as accurate as I can make them out to be while keeping things as simple as possible for editors. If you were wondering, a video with just Theora is just an image sequence missing the audio track (like Xiph's very own GIF format). Theora+Vorbis is what you expect if you understand Vorbis only. -- 21:58, 3 May 2017 (EDT)


 * Oh no, I wasn't doubting your recommendations, I was referring to my edits when I said "Hope that's all correct". 22:06, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

Looks like Help:Media needs to be updated, not just with File:Example.ogg to File:Example.ogv, but to reflect OGG being a discouraged extension. It should also be stated that some converters still output as OGG regardless of Theora or Vorbis content, but changing the extension will not affect anything. Ways to change the extension before upload (but not limited to): Here's my proposal as a reference. -- 14:14, 4 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Redlink to the file
 * Special:Upload when specifying the file name
 * Windows Explorer (or equivalent file manager)
 * Discussing the changes with the other admins, so I'll get back to you on that. 07:41, 5 May 2017 (EDT)
 * I've created a visual that could supplement the three bulletpoints, however the other admins decide to rework the help page. Would me creating a draft page help in revising Help:Media? -- 16:23, 5 May 2017 (EDT)


 * Sure, any help would be appreciated! 22:58, 5 May 2017 (EDT)

Here's a draft: User:Wildgoosespeeder/Help:Media More things needed updating and I corrected every instance. I even moved some sections around for better flow. I even expanded some sections. One section I recommend removal or it be moved to the recommended spot. -- 03:56, 6 May 2017 (EDT)


 * Thanks, changes have been made. Conveniently, it also covered the changes I proposed on the admin boards. I did some minor rewriting/reorganising and excluded some unnecessary parts, such as the method for formatting, as it's already found on the template page itself. I'll get to updating Help:Image eventually. 01:40, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Thanks for updating the help page. A few problems with the revisions you made to my draft. Firstly, I purposely chose to remove anything related to inserting text like this  because what if someone wants to view the file page to make an upload fix or something? I know that  exists. Yes, being able to directly download the media is compromised this way, but  does this with videos. Also, the MediaWiki software has a box below the HTML5 player to download the file directly anyways if you use the   or   method of linking. I also thought that acceptable content should be the first header instead of being a sub-header of audio and video because that needs to be upfront before anyone gets to work creating media files. I chose to change that header to Uploading and Embedding because audio and video is what the help page is already describing as my change is more descriptive how to work with media files. The only thing I thought was fair enough was the removal of an example formatting of how to use . The draft was designed to be thorough and decisive. -- 03:11, 8 May 2017 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I planned to rename "Audio and video" and move "Acceptable content" once I was done with Help:Image. Anyway, removed the part about "Media:". 03:59, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
 * I think you were performing the changes as I was typing but I submitted my message before you submitted the better change so, moot point. I'm glad to see a help page in much need of updating because I did find some misleading information as well. Glad I got that corrected. -- 04:37, 8 May 2017 (EDT)

Music Notes
Hi, I'm just letting you know that, just in case you don't know already, when patrolling new pages, be sure to check some categories (such as Category:Super Mario Maker Levels) as well to access new pages. An example of this would be the level article I expanded (Music Notes) which was once a redirect. Thanks! 19:49, 28 April 2017 (EDT)

I already said
What the hell do you mean for this:

Cannot find section

You tried to edit a section that does not exist. It may have been moved or deleted while you were viewing the page.

https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Costume_Mario&action=edit&section=40

What do you mean for don't issue a warning without admin preferences?
It was violating rule if they issue Template:Reminder Template:Warning Template:Lastwarn Template:Block Music Video 123 (talk) 08:32, 29 April 2017 (EDT)

I make a new section on my talk page

Deletion of redirect page "Inklings"
I have noticed that the redirect page Inklings has been deleted, simply for being a plural redirect. Per Redirects, "Redirects are only unnecessary when (1) they are completely nonsensical, (2) they are too general, and (3) the search function takes the user to the correct page without said redirect."

A plural redirect does not meet the three criteria listed above; the redirect "Inklings" does not constitute "completely nonsensical", it is specific enough, and the search function does not automatically take the user to said page without the redirect.

Furthermore, there are plenty of plural redirects on this wiki. Boos, Goombas, and Bullet Bills are just a few examples of plural redirects that exist here. There is no reason that the redirect page "Inklings" should not exist if there are many redirect pages on this wiki that are plural redirects.

Thank you,
