"Dream?"
I think it was Dream. I could be wrong, because I was watching a YT vid about it. (I think it's a legit game. I'll rewatch it, and tell you later.) 23:54, September 1, 2020 (EDT)
 * Actually, it's fanmade. 16:06, September 2, 2020 (EDT)
 * Wait... does this mean it's fanmade? (also I'm so glad you didn't archive this) 20:54, September 3, 2020 (EDT)
 * It's actually STEAM, not Dream. 20:55, September 3, 2020 (EDT)

Please Help
Can you help me finish creating the rest of the pages for these rooms in Luigi's Mansion 3 please? We're almost done, all we have left is Boilerworks, and Master Suites. Thank you. 23:20, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

"Meta category" visibility
I thought it was a weird glitch on my end at first, but something peculiar I've noticed recently is that "meta categories" are no longer visible when I'm signed off. I can understand maybe hiding something like the merge and split templates from casual readers since those are really meant between editors, but I don't know why the another language and conjecture templates are hidden from view unless you are signed on. I think it's useful to have those visible at all times, especially since we tend to not cite in-game references and thus readers can easily mistake a conjectural title for an in-game name, and while it didn't stop Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, I was optimistic that future writers will learn not to follow that example, which defeats the purpose of some of our criticism if those templates are now hidden. Additionally, not everyone browses the site signed on unless they're ready to edit, so these details can now be missed. Why was this change made, and can it be reconsidered? LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:03, September 4, 2020 (EDT)
 * Thanks. The another language and conjecture templates show up for me again logged off. Are the "proposal templates" (merge to/from, split, rename, and notice) going to stay hidden? That seems like something that should have been openly discussed first, unless that's also part of the error. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:29, September 5, 2020 (EDT)
 * Why not keep at least keep the meta categories visibly listed at the bottom of the articles with or below the main categories, where they're unobtrusive to casual readers but still noticeable to other editors who are signed out? LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:10, September 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * Would a proposal to restore partial (category only) or full (entire template) visibility be vetoed by admins? I feel a change like this should have had user consensus first, and for me at least, having pages change depending on whether you're signed in or out is confusing and not very intuitive. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:54, September 7, 2020 (EDT)

About the 3D All-Stars Reused Artwork
I understand that for most of these, they're just the same artwork but at a lower resolution. However, would it not be good to at least have Bee Mario art with a transparent background? I mean, we have black-BG and transparent-BG versions of the Dark Moon art for King Boo and E. Gadd. As well, a bunch of these artwork have a little bit of shadow outlining around the character, yet we still have shadowed and shadowless versions of artwork, in particular, Rosalina's art from Smash 4. I don't think all of the reused art needs to be uploaded, but I don't think that warrants dismissing all of them at once. (Unless there's some kind of Wiki policy that I haven't read.)

Resposta: Grammar
There's something weird about English

Example: Category:Super Mario World Levels

Why isn't it Levels of Super Mario World?

Why is the word of not used in English? Why is the word of replaced by 's?

Example: Yoshi's Island

Why isn't it Island of Yoshi?

I saw the word of in the name of a church, the name is: Universal Church of the Kingdon of God

Why is of used in this case?

The word of in English balances the words de, da and do in the Portuguese language, these 3 words are always used - Yoshiman2 (talk) 15:04, September 16, 2020 (EDT)
 * It is simple: it shows whom things it is. For example, if you are in the car that belongs to your dad, you may say:

It means exactly the same thing, but the 's is more often used becasue of a more comprehensive aspect. 05:04, January 11, 2021 (EST)
 * I am in my dad's car.
 * I am in the car of my dad.

Know-It-All Toads?
Hi, just asking about which types of identifiers to use in the following situation.

So we already have an article on the singular Know-it-All Toad in Paper Mario: Color Splash, right? Here's the thing, though: there's an entire group of individuals known collectively by the same name in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. So should the individuals in Paper Jam be known as ? Or should something else be put in place? 10:24, September 18, 2020 (EDT)
 * I see. Thank you very much. 11:37, September 18, 2020 (EDT)

Luigi Beta Voice Clips
Hello, I see you removed my edit about Luigi’s beta voice clips that were part of the “Nintendo Gigaleak” on July 25, 2020. Are you aware about this “Nintendo Gigaleak” that happened on that date? A lot of unused content from games such as this and Mario World have been leaked in the games files? I know up keep removing this edit but I think we should put Luigi’s unused voice clips from SM64 that were leaked. Why can’t we put in on there? We already have Toadsworth’s unused voice clips for MP8 so why not Luigi’s? Please let me know ASAP Thanks

MKT tier proposal
Is it possible now to add more options to my ongoing proposal about Mario Kart Tour tiers based on 's findings? If yes, should the proposal's deadline be extended and by how much? 16:11, October 12, 2020 (EDT)
 * It is fairly probable that users might have still voted for the first option even if those more official terms were to be presented in the proposal. From what I understand, there is no bottom tier indicator to go along with the "favoured / favourite" pair, which is frankly a little confusing in itself and mostly refers to the courses themselves anyway, not drivers or karts; the "Normal/Good/More Good" triplet (or its more grammatically correct counterpart, "Normal/Good/Better") is also flawed since "Normal" might be confused for the rarity classification of the same name. It would have been ideal to have those in the proposal since they're official, and I recognise that I should have asked Mister Wu for research first, but again, I think most users find little reason not to use the already highly-supported option. What do you think? 08:32, October 13, 2020 (EDT)

Gallery Changes
Who or what determines, if images of a gallery needs to be changed? Is it the file name? The resolution? Something else? (In my case, it's about the One-Way Wall article gallery) Trokayn (talk) 04:02, October 14, 2020 (EDT)

Grammar
Hello again, Mario jc. I am very sorry about the 50+ edits that includes the capitalization of the words “level” and “course” in the RMX and Retro courses of Mario Kart Tour. If you wish, I can change all the grammar errors included in all the courses of Mario Kart Tour. Thanks for reminding me, it won't happen again! 3l!jah (talk) 1:07, October 15, 2020 (PhST)

NIWA Accounts
Hey, Mario jc. I have a question about accounts on this wiki as well as other wikis in NIWA:

Is it possible to have the same account on other Wikis? (My account is CBFan5, so in other words, can it be used on other wikis?" CBFan5 (talk)

Back Space
Hi, back again with yet another naming question. See, I intend to start a proposal to split two types of Mario Party spaces: the ones that send the player a fixed number of spaces in either direction, and the ones that require the player to roll a Dice Block in order to move in the given direction. Since both space variants that send the player backwards are known as "Back Spaces" in Mario Party 10, I'd like to know what custom identifiers to use in this case. (Note that in the case of moving forwards, the ones with a fixed number of spaces are known as "Advance Spaces" whereas the ones requiring a dice roll are known as "Dash Spaces", so there's no problem in that case.) 18:58, October 20, 2020 (EDT)

Userspace violation?
Would you say this sandbox violates our userspace policy? It seems that way to me.

Is Mollusque-Lanceur really a Gushen?
Hey there. I have a question:

The Mollusque-Lanceur article states that Mollusque-Lanceur is a Gushen. Is there any source that specifically says that? CBFan5 (talk)

Castles/Forts in the Category: Volcanic Areas
Why are castles included in the list? They are not volcanic. Even though they are full of lava, they do not have some "volcanic" elements, such as rising lava (there are a few exceptions), lava geysers, and poison fog. CBFan5 (talk)

SMS Minor Locations
Hello, I was wondering if you feel defined locations for areas in Super Mario Sunshine, if connected to a mission or contain the mission, would justify their own articles? Those are currently redirects to the actual missions featuring those locations. This would be similar to Casino Delfino or Windswept Valley, and of course, this would only apply to minor locations with a purpose and official title. Would you consider this? 18:37, October 23, 2020 (EDT)
 * Thank you, I believe I will. Where should I create this proposal? 21:10, October 23, 2020 (EDT)

Is World 6-3 from the original SMB Snow-Themed?
Due to the grayish-white tileset and the white tree platforms, is the level possibly snow-themed? If so, it should go under The snowscapes category. CBFan5 (talk)

Favored phrasing?
For the Mario Kart Tour cup articles, which phrasing do you think sounds best?

"Courses in this cup appear/are featured as [character]'s favored or favorite courses."

or

"Courses in this cup are favored by or favorites of [character]."

I personally prefer the former, partly because I find it closer to what would be used in in-game text. Do you have other phrasing variants? 17:59, October 28, 2020 (EDT)

I prefer the former with "are featured as." [Mario JP, 00:43, December 6, 2020 (PT)]

Teeth Polease
Isn't it saying "police?" I know "please" would make more sense, but since when do microgame titles make sense? It seems to be going for a rhyme, and "police" with a lisp would rhyme while "please" wouldn't. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:31, November 1, 2020 (EST)

Figure-8 Circuit in Smash
I want to talk to you about... well, the subject matter. First off, I can see you disagree but I think the most important thing is that it literally, outright says "Eight Cross Circuit." Also, it's translated as such on the article for the MKDS course, so leaving it as "Figure-8 Circuit" is, in my opinion, both inaccurate and inconsistent.

(In response to your message) Right, I understand. Thank you for explaining. 94.10.30.69 06:44, November 22, 2020 (EST)

Hey Mario jc, I need help (Not just me)
Me and Archivist Toadette need help here.

Can you help us? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:03, November 24, 2020 (EST)

Favored phrasing? (Part II)
Hey there! I'm in the process of adding availabilities and making the writing consistent between articles on Mario Kart Tour karts. One difficulty that I've come across is finding the least confusing way in which a kart's special skill can be explained. The in-game descriptions are too succinct (Increases [Technique] boost time and points earned for performing one.) and I think it's our job to expand a bit on the phrasing and make it clearer. Here are some phrasing options; I would like to know which one do you think is best, or if you have better alternatives:
 * 1) Boosts last longer and yield more points than usual when using this kart. -- Puts too much focus on the "boosts" rather than on the main subject (the kart).
 * 2) When this kart is used, boosts last longer and yield more points than usual. -- Better than the previous, though it still implies that the kart is unusual. Stating that the kart "increases boost duration and points" would put it on the same level as other karts with the same special skill.
 * 3) This kart increases the duration of boosts and the points earned for performing one. -- Do we get points from the duration or the boosts? I know that the former wouldn't make sense logically, but at a first glance it might be a tad too difficult to read between the lines.
 * 4) This kart increases boost time/duration and points earned for performing one. -- Not only is this a confusing rearrangement of the previous phrasing (where "one" could syntactically refer to either "time" or "boost"), but it's also a mere reflection of the in-game text.
 * 5) This kart increases boost time/duration and points. -- Bit too short innit?

09:30, November 29, 2020 (EST)


 * Yeah, this is good enough. I think I'll use it. Thanks! 18:21, November 30, 2020 (EST)
 * One more thing. Should we say, "Jump Boost boosts"? It sounds repetitive, but it's the game's own phrasing, as if it differentiates the Jump Boost action from the actual speed boost that results from driving over ramps. 18:26, November 30, 2020 (EST)

Pokey
Okay, yet another naming question. So there are two types of Pokeys: the prominent kind debuting in Super Mario Bros. 2, and the not-so-prominent Needlenose varieties that have been around since Yoshi's Island. The problem is that the current title for the latter variety of Pokey is Pokey (Yoshi's Island series), which isn't a suitable identifier since both types of Pokeys appear in Yoshi's New Island (they even appear in the exact same level, Underground Pokey Patrol). Given this, what would be a more suitable identifier for the article in question? Given that the Japanese transliteration for the latter variety of Pokey is "Heading Sanbo", would work? 22:50, December 6, 2020 (EST)

Clarification
From 22:00 on December 15, 2020 (PT), I will follow up on (sections of) wiki pages on: ONLY.
 * Mario Kart Tour;
 * new drivers, karts and gliders on Mario Kart Tour;
 * new favorite and favored courses for existing drivers, karts and gliders on Mario Kart Tour; and
 * Chinese (Traditional) translations of drivers, karts and gliders on Mario Kart Tour [if possible]...

Are these fine to you, Sir/Madam (although I am not sure if you are the "boss" of Super Mario Wiki)?

Mario JP

I'm sorry
I'm sorry for saying about the section saying no one should change the characters in rival order on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. User:24.192.89.23 constantly changes the order without source (I reverted the user twice). Benjaminkirsc (talk) 06:32, December 7, 2020 (EST)

Using Third Person instead of Second Person

Hi Mario jc. For the wiki page of the Rosalina Tour, isn't the Baby Rosalina Tour the first tour "to be named directly after a character?"

Hi there! Several times, you and Alex95 reminded me that I must not convert jpgs to pngs as this will result into a quality loss.
