Patroller
How do I become a Patroller or Sysop? Tails777
 * Take a look at FAQ -- 22:25, 5 January 2011 (EST)

Question
Hi, while i have been looking through some pages I've noticed the words Sequel and follow-up. What is the difference between a sequel and a follow-up?

-IGGY7735
 * I don't think there's a very large difference, a sequel is a game that came out to follow-up the game before. So I'd say they are the same, or so similar that it doesn't really matter.

Hi, i cant edit my page,can you help?Minimario
 * You have to be a member of the wiki for a week and make ten mainspace edits before you can create and edit your userpage. It's explained on Autoconfirmed users. - 23:41, 3 February 2011 (EST)

What are the benefits of being a member on Super Mario Wiki?
 * You can edit the database. - 20:27, 11 February 2011 (EST)

How can I make my User page User:Jmt0404
 * Please see User space for questions about user space, but basically, you have to wait a week after joining, then click on the red link. - 22:34, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

This Big Box
I am a new user. HOW DO I GET THIS ANNOYING BOX OUT OF MY TALK PAGE???!!!??? --MushroomMadness1221
 * Do you mean the table of contents, or the welcome template? If you don't want a table of contents, edit the page and type __NOTOC__ at the very top of the editing window, in the line right above the welcome template (don't leave a space between them, or there will be empty space above the welcome template). If you don't want the welcome template, simply remove it (edit the page and remove the part that reads ). -  13:04, 22 February 2011 (EST)

The 'Shroom
Dear Super Mario Wiki,

I have a question. I see that many places on the 'Shroom are vacant, but some are not. Is there any way I could write on the 'Shroom too? I would really like to do the Fake Police Blogger, but it may not be vacant by the time you may answer me. But is there any way I can do the 'Shroom? My name is Nintendo Bro. and I am a "member", or something like that. But however, I just started. So please write back in your free time, Sysops or Administrators? I appreciate it. -Nintendo Bro--

--Nintendo Bro. 07:16, 17 March 2011 (EDT)

 * Here
 * What he means to say is, if you want to sign up for Fake Police Blotter, you should talk to this user - you can talk to the director of each subteam to sign up for that sub-team.

Q
Can anyone give warnings, reminders, ect, or do only Wiki Admins get to do that? I was wondering, that if we can't give warnings, do we report a person to a admin?
 * Anyone can give reminders or warnings, but make sure not to abuse giving them out. 17:54, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Also, always use the official templates: personalized warning/notice templates will be deleted (yes, people have tried to make them in the past, iirc). - 19:46, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
 * OK, so if I give a warning/reminder (not that I would do that in a hurry or frequently) does that count as a User Talk against my UserSpace Count? Or does it not count towards Userspace? I know it doesn't count toward mainspace, so what does it count towards?-- 22:58, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
 * It'd count as a User Talk edit, which is different than Userspace edits. If you go to the search page, it has all the different types of namespace listed (all of which are tallied separately in Edit Count); if you want to know which namespace a page fits in, just look at the prefix that comes before the colon (and of course, if there's no colon, it's mainspace). - 12:43, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

User:Robe
how you make a user page?


 * You have to be with the wiki you have to be a member of the wiki for at least one week, and have 10 edits. Also please sign comments with

Infobox
How do you make an infobox?

Will anyone answer me?
 * As in make one from scratch? Find an existing infobox similar in design to what you're planning and copy its coding, then tweak it to fit your needs. Remember to check to see if your new coding makes the infobox look like how you want it to look using the Preview button, rather than saving and re-editing it over and over again. - 12:52, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

OK. Thank you.

Wrong Image
I tried to upload a new version of a file, but I got the same version of the image instead of the new one. Why did this happen?
 * If you're talking about the change you made on this image, your version shows up fine for me. Try to clear the cache? --Glowsquid 09:32, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Well, I removed the backround & when I did upload it, the BG was still there. o~0
 * Sometimes the image doesn't appear to change right away. Try checking on it again later (or, as Glowsquid suggested, clear the cache, which should update it right away). - 19:47, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

How do I clear the cache?
 * Your browser should have an option that allows you to access your recent history (in terms of what sites you've visited over a given period of time). Clear that information, and there you go.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggg! #2
I am trying to make a table for a PipeProject and I can't set up a table! How do you do that? User:Boochoomba P.S.: Gowser, that was a cool title with the userboxes.

Why do you need a table? 16:05, 9 May 2011 (EDT)
 * @Boochoomba Go here. 16:23, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

User Page?
i really wanna create a userpage i know i need to be autoconfirmed but how do you know you're that and where you have to click for that?

Link
How do I make my text a link(those in blue)?!!?KoopaMan 16:03, 23 May 2011 (EDT)KoopaMan


 * Just click on the  blue  button above the typing box and type in the article you want to make a link of, or you can type in two square brackets:  on each side of it, for example: Mario - you type in Mario . Look at Help:Link for more info.

How can I add text ?
How can I add text, images,etc. to my userpage?

The most of what you ask, just use the toolbox seen above when clicking the "edit" page.

Donkey Kong Wikia copypasta?
Not the NIWA-affilated Donkey Kong, but the Donkey Kong from Wikia apparently. If I am not mistaken, this wiki and Wikia do not share the same license. Here's an example of their article K. Rool. Luigifan95 23:38, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
 * I'm not exactly sure what we're supposed to do about this...

That's their way to get info, unfortunately. Each wiki provides original research based on the sources taken and used as references. The info in the wiki can be used by anyone as it of free-content and thus can be edited or deleted by anyone. As our information the we give has no license (it's free-content) they can use them whatever they like, even copy-pasting for their own wikies. In short, there is no way to stop them.
 * Well, that sucks.
 * Free content or not, it's still plagiarism and we have a right to at least ask that they do something about it. In fact, if you look on General disclaimer or on wikipedia (and wikimedia in general), you'll see that the Creative Commons License we use says that info can only be copied and redistributed if the contributing authors are attributed. If the DK wikia doesn't note that we wrote the info, they're not actually supposed to use it (as quoted from wikipedia: "public domain content is plagiarized if used without acknowledging the source''"). By the way, the guy who copy-pasted our stuff is a user here (although he hasn't edited either database in months). - 18:22, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

Youtube
I have embedded a video but only a large amount of text and a few links leading to the page appear. How can I make the video itself appear?


 * You don't need all that coding: as explained in Help:YouTube, just type in  ("jGRjovnsbKI" being the ID of your video). -  18:07, 19 June 2011 (EDT)

Shortcuts
Hello. I'm wondering if I'm allowed to post star/shine shortcuts in an article --AgentCats 11:43, 18 June 2011 (EDT)
 * What exactly do you mean by "Shortcuts to star/shine"?

Well I mean like shorcuts to them, like in Pianta Village where I know a good shortcut on "Episode 3: The Goopy Inferno". More specifically, I would make a video of the shortcut. --AgentCats 23:20, 18 June 2011 (EDT)

Picture Removal
Hello. I am wondering if I can remove an image. If not, can ya'll remove it? AgentCats

Depends. What image exactly?--

This one AgentCats

Oh. just put on it.:P--

Thanks! AgentCats

Your welcome.--

ID
How can I get an ID of a Youtube video?--Yoshidino 09:32, 25 June 2011 (EDT)
 * The Youtube ID is the string of characters after the watch?v= part of the URL. For example, the video ID of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS956FdMPfc is "nS956FdMPfc". --Glowsquid 09:41, 25 June 2011 (EDT)

User Box Tower
Hello. I am wondering how to make a user box tower.

Check out this page.-- 21:32, 26 June 2011 (EDT)

Thank you!

!!!!!
You saw me say that thing about how do I make those links in blue, right?........It was NOT me!!!! Some guy FORGED my signature!!!!!KoopaMan {Talk}
 * According to this, it was you who made that comment (the comment was then moved down to a new section by a different user, but the only bit they added, besides their answer, was the header). No other user forged your signature. - 12:41, 27 June 2011 (EDT)

sockpuppet
ok, i was just wondering, if helping a brother edit the wiki, is a form of sockpuppetry. the thing is, my brother is busy sometines, so when he leaves, he leaves a list of things he wants to change, and his exact wording for what the edit is. he leaves, and i have to edit what he left for me. im concerned that someone might claim its sockpuppeting, so im asking this here. if it is, then i'll stop doing that, and never do it again. Mario and Toad&#39;s Fan 10:48, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Hello! My question is still unanswered! If anyone missed it, its: Is it sockpuppeting for the above reasons. Somebody please answer this. Mario and Toad&#39;s Fan 09:49, 8 July 2011 (EDT)
 * No, if a sibling has an account, it's not sockpuppeting. For example, Xzelion's, a Sysop, brother has an account, but it's allowed.
 * Or he's asking about whether or not he's allowed to edit using his brother's account on behalf of his brother. You're not really supposed to do that, but it's not something we actively disallow. Unless you're maliciously impersonating the account's owner (which isn't the case here), you're not going to receive any warnings or other sorts of punishment. If the account's owner is fine with the arrangement, no harm, no foul. - 13:32, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

Bad video ID
When I put a youtube video correctly, it says "Bad video ID!" after I save it. How can I stop this?


 * The point of this page really isn't to troubleshoot Userspace problems. If you can't figure it out on your own, based on the information on Help:Youtube, perhaps you should just give up. It's better if you focus your attention on editing anyway. - 00:20, 4 July 2011 (EDT)

Disappearing
Why if I write something (being official), it is vanished? Why? User:Goomblob
 * There are many reasons for why an edit may be revered. The information might not be important to that particular subject (Trivia, in particular, gets removed a lot), or it may have already been mentioned elsewhere in the article. If the quality of the writing or formatting was poor, it could have just been removed on those grounds. If it's not widely known to be official, it might have been mistakenly removed as false info or speculation (it's also possible that it was false, and you were the one who was mistaken). Users are strongly encouraged to provide reasoning when they undo an edit, so if you find that something you wrote was removed, you should look at the page's history to find out why. If the user didn't give a reason and the answer's not obvious, you can contact them and ask, or ask about it on the article's talk page. - 23:48, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Moving Images
how do i put images in different places other then the far right? Mini-Ian
 * You can move it to the far left like this: NAME, and while it's not done very often, you can centre images by typing "center" instead of "left", otherwise, the thumbnails automatically go to the right. - 14:27, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

User Page Locked
I edit my user page and the next day... its locked even from me why?


 * One of the Sysops probably locked your userpage because you were editing it too much. You need to focus more on editing the articles.

ok but do they unlock it once i edit a lot of stuff?.


 * Most likely. Just keep on contributing to the mainspace more and you'll be in good shape. You can also look here to keep track of your edits. 08:57, 15 July 2011 (EDT)

I can't edit
However often I mark the games only released for the Famicom Disk System with asterisks, next time, they are back in bold. Why? Do not change my writing back to exactly how it was originally!

Your edit was reverted cause those with the bold text depicted more preferable than marked with an asterisk.

Well, I prefer to mark it with an asterisk. Why should I support something I do not want, Lindsay???!!!
 * Because this is not your personal database and what you want it to look like is not necessarily what everyone else wants. And if someone reverts your edit (or gives you an answer you don't like), getting ornery about it is a BAD way to try and sort things out (as explained on Courtesy). - 14:02, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Category creation
I would like to create a category for games that were planned for one console and then ported to another, such as Super Paper Mario and Super Mario 64. Unfortunately, I don't know how to create categories. How do I?

Pdjr9000


 * I don't think that would be a good use of a category, since few games were planned like that. But, if you want to make a caegory, go to a page like Category:(whatever category it is), and then put the description of that category. Then put categories on different pages and done.

creating a proposal?
I would like to create a proposal to merge the list of Donkey Kong Games and the list of Wario Games into the page for Games on this wiki. How do I create a proposal? Pdjr9000 06:24, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Proposals

how do i edit my signiture?
 * Wrong place to put this. Go to preferneces. WikiofSmash&quot;It&#39;s called society, ever heard of it?&quot; 19:49, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
 * No, this is the place to ask questions, which is what they were doing. Anyway, to answer the question, see Help:Signature. Be sure to take a look at Signature too. - 23:49, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Deleting an account
Hi. I'm wondering how to delete my account. I just don't want it anymore. Can someone tell me? AgentCats

I don't think you can. Best thing you can do is just stop using it, I guess.-- 15:35, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Perrow
What's perrow? (I don't found a translation) Goomblob
 * It's not a word, it's coding used in gallery formatting; it's how we can change how many images are in each row (i.e. the number of images per row, hence the name). However, please note that only the default four images or less is allowed, and all the perrows being used to create five-image-wide galleries in mainspace pages should be removed (which is most of the perrows). - 10:12, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Editing
Excuse me, but I've just entered Super Mario Wiki. I need to know how to create my userpage. Can you please help?--
 * You have to make 10 edits an wait a week

My Own Proposal
How do I make proposals? I see the "How To" but there isn't what I do, as: I write where? Goomblob 11:24, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
 * In the sections further down the Proposals page. Like, if you want to add something new to the wiki, you'd put the proposal in the "New Features" section. The best way to learn how to make your own proposals is by watching how other people do it. - 17:59, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

Smaller images
Hi i wanna know how to shrink my images. I can add images to my userpages but they are way too big, anybody that can help me?
 * See Help:Image; Point 4 deals with image size. - 20:46, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

Userboxes
Help! I'm confused. The only userboxes I know how to do are the ones on the wiki! How do I get codes for more?! http://www.mariowiki.com/images/3/3e/Bowser_Enemy_Battle_bis2.png -User:POOGLEFAMILY-http://www.mariowiki.com/images/3/3e/Bowser_Enemy_Battle_bis2.png

You can view here.


 * Or look at the source for other users' pages to see how their more creative boxes are coded. - 18:20, 10 September 2011 (EDT)

Userpage Problems
Hello, I've been on the wiki for a week and made 10 edits. Why can't I make my userpage yet? Mario3D64

please come
can players on the wiki help make games? anyway anyone come see what i said about miis on my talkpage!--Supermarioandyoshi2 07:50, 22 September 2011 (EDT)
 * What you do with yourself off the wiki (such as making games) is none of our concern, as long as you only add information pertaining to official Mario games to our articles and focus your editing efforts on the mainspace, rather than userspace. Also, please don't solicit visitors to your talk page here: this page is just for asking questions. - 22:30, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

Username
Can I change my username? If the answer is "Yes", how can I do it? 18:17, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
 * Changing username Nintendo64Fan &#39;&#39;User #19809&#39;&#39;

Question

How?
How do you that buttion thing whare it shows the buttton?

Thanks!

Signature
Hello.

How do I put images into my signature? This would be greatly apreciated. Thank You

-TheNo1MarioBros 15:54, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

You need to place next to your signature, make sure the size is less than 35px.

This wasn't clear enough for me, could someone please explain?
 * See my answer to your question in this section. It really can be stated any simpler than that. If you still don't get it, look at how other people have made their signatures. - 13:00, 13 November 2011 (EST)

go away!
How do you make that thing that help you get started on "my talk" go away? --rwars 17:16, 12 October 2011 (EDT)


 * If you're referring to the Welcome message, just remove it if you don't want it there; you're not required to keep it.


 * 17:19, 12 October 2011 (EDT)

I know that HOW do I remove it? --rwars 17:58, 12 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Um...you edit your talk page, highlight the part on the top of the page that says: with your mouse, press the delete or backspace key on your keyboard, click the checkbox near the bottom of the screen that says "This is a minor edit", and then save the page.


 * 18:04, 12 October 2011 (EDT)

Do I need to be autoconformed? --rwars 18:21, 12 October 2011 (EDT)


 * No, all you need to do is edit your page how Phoenix said to, any normal user can edit their own talk page.


 * What he said. Just be advised that you are not allowed to remove anything else from your talk page under any circumstances, unless it is flaming or an act of vandalism.

Coin Block Confusion
I've been looking through my Super Mario Galaxy 2 manual and noticed something. The manual says this about ? Blocks: Jump and hit this from below to release coins or Star Bits. Super Mario Galaxy 2 only has ? Blocks that give multiple star bits or multiple coins. This wiki says that any block with multiple coins (even if it has a ? on it) is not called a ? Block, but a Coin Block. So according to the Super Mario Galaxy 2 manual its a ? Block, but according to the mariowiki its a coin Block. Shouldn't we make info the manual and the article agree?

-IGGY7735
 * There's no issue here. "A Coin Block is a Block that gives the player multiple coins. Coin Blocks can be either Brick Blocks or ? Blocks."

But the manual calls them ? Blocks not Coin Blocks, just sayin'... -IGGY7735


 * Right, but according to the Coin Block article, a Coin Block is any type of Block that can yield coins. Both Brick Blocks and ? Blocks retain their individual identities because both of them can release a variety of items. Among those items that can be released are coins. So Brick Blocks and ? Blocks are only considered to be Coin Blocks when they release coins, and not any of the other items that it is within the realm of possibility for them to release. In other words, a Coin Block has to be either a Brick Block or a ? Block, but a Brick Block or ? Block does not necessarily have to be a Coin Block. What you're referring to from Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a ? Block that is considered to be a Coin Block because it releases coins. So technically, it's both a Coin Block and a ? Block. At any rate, there really aren't any discrepancies between what the wiki says and what the manual says. I hope that answers your question.


 * 17:40, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

SM3DL's Rectangular blocks give multiple coins but can only be hit once and some give multiple coins and an item, does this mean that they are coin blocks?

-IGGY7735

Can't edit monobook.css
Hi, I cannot edit my monobook.css. There is no "edit tab. What do I do?

Thanks, pcs199
 * It's because you aren't autoconfirmed yet, so you can't create any pages, even in your userspace. Make ten edits and have signed up for a week, then you should be able to do it if you like.

Images
Could somebody help me on how to get a personal image? 11:24, 9 November 2011 (EST)
 * Upload an image (there's a link called "Upload file" near the bottom of the sidebar), put in its summary (code it like this:   ), and then put it on your userpage. For more info, see Personal Images. -  18:32, 10 November 2011 (EST)

Pic
How do you put a picture in your signature?
 * Just add, replacing NAME with the actual filename. 35 pixels is the maximum height (as stated in Signature) but you can make your signature image smaller if you want. -  16:07, 12 November 2011 (EST)

Ok, thanks!

help please
I cannot edit anything through wifi because i made another account just in case i lost this one, and i didn't know i couldn't. So now i only can edit on my phone. Can someone undo the wifi block?
 * Is there anything wrong by logging into the site through Wi-Fi with this account? -- 01:26, 23 November 2011 (EST)

Actually, now it's working again. :)

Signin'
How do you sign an edit?
 * Well, you can always do this:, where "username" is, of course, your username. Alternatively, after you create a signature, you can sign comments using three or four tildes (~), the only difference between the options being that using four creates a time-stamp (prints the date and time when you signed the comment).
 * Signature (which I directed you to earlier) also has more info as well as some rules. - 22:34, 25 November 2011 (EST)

Ok, thanks!

Upload PDFs?
Hi,

I'm wanting to upload a PDF that I created. Is that not an option? It's not list on the Help:Media page. Thanks.

DK
I know that Donkey Kong is often abbreviated DK. So in the DK racetracks in Mariokart (DK Mountain, Pass, Jungle etc.) is the DK pronounced D.K. or is it pronounced Donkey Kong?
 * The only reference I can name off the top of my head is the "DK Rap", which pronounces "DK" as the letters. - 01:21, 4 December 2011 (EST)

Can you search usernames?
I want to search someone on this site.
 * You can try using Special:ListUsers. - 02:10, 17 December 2011 (EST)

How do i insert a picture to my signature?
I know i'm asking many questions on this FAQ but i need to know how to do it. Also, where do i get the picture from? SuperPaperFan
 * See here. Try to read through previous questions before posting new queries. Odds are, someone's asked the same thing in the past, or something similar that will still lead you to the appropriate Help page. - 02:10, 17 December 2011 (EST)

==is this how?== I finally figured out how to post on this FAQ. Is it the same way if I want to post on someone's page?

Also, I want a spot on the 'Shroom, mainly on fun stuff. The only problem is that they're taken. Is there any way the person and I can work together on the same article? Jamminjelly543
 * Yeah, all talk pages work like this. As for your second question, I don't believe there is any way they can do that.

Editing
Why are almost ALL my edits reverted? And why can't I edit my homepage (I meet the conditions to be autoconfirmed)?
 * Your edits will be reverted if they are nonconstructive. Also, you are autoconfirmed, so you should be able to edit your user page; just click the red link to it and click "Create" or "edit" up there if that doesn't take you to an editing box.

I have a question
Hello, i've read the Autoconfirmed Users page, and it says that an autoconfirmed user can create new pages. How I can make a new page? Thanks. Danimario9
 * Read this.--Smg_icon_fastfoecomet.png P S I Wolf  ( T  •  C  •  E ) 06:27, 4 January 2012 (EST)
 * Thanks. Danimario9

AGGGHHHHHH!!!
I made a page called Spiky ? Block but I can't find it anywhere. why?

-Purrs! From CatJedi 18:35, 8 January 2012 (EST)

It was deleted because it was stub and uneeded.

Hey, I didn't have time to make an article THAT big. I can't be at the computa all day. Meow!May the force be with you! 19:11, 9 January 2012 (EST)
 * It was also considered to be unneeded, so even if it had been complete, it still would have been subject to deletion most likely.

HOW???
i want to make one of these: Meow!May the force be with you! 19:26, 9 January 2012 (EST)
 * Why do you want to make one?

Huh?
What does (+110) and (-2) mean?
 * It's representative of how much text was added to or removed from overall during the edit made to that page.

Can we use images from Youtube?
Can we take a screenshot of a image on youtube by pressing Printscreen? SuperPaperFan
 * As far as I know, uploading YouTube screenshots is legal, as long as it's treated like any other screenshot. You'd probably have to add the video as a source in if you were to do that. Also, there is a downside in that the quality of the image is limited by the quality of the video, so it's a good idea to get images from videos of the highest quality possible. So yes, it would be allowed under normal circumstances I believe.

Chatroom?
Where can i blabber about other mario-related stuff regardless of the topic of the page? - Warpman 2:07 PM 1/22/2012
 * The Wiki Chat or the Forums (both of which have separate rules that you should take heed of) provide outlets for discussion not related to improving articles.

Question
How can I put an already made image on a page?
 * See Help:Image. - 18:16, 28 January 2012 (EST)

I'm a bit confused about minor edits and such
I've been editing this wiki lately, and I mark every edit I make a minor. One or two of my edits added about a paragraph to that area. Would that still count as a minor edit? If not,how do I mark it as,well...something higher then minor? Thanks for your future response,and I'll be careful on my next edits.


 * I've answered this for you on your talk page :)

nominated articles
AAH! I have no idea how to approve or oppsoe to the new nomination thing but i would like too.! help me


 * All you have to do is add a vote (to approve) or give reasons for your oppose to your vote (oppose)

Userpage
OK if i click on other users names, their pages have cool stuff everywhere. But click on mine and it's blank. Help on how to change it and a picture.

Grrr...
I have had an account for 3 days and i got on the chat. well one guy keeps banning me (been banned twice for nothing) i will keep this person unamed unless this comes up again. so what do i do about this person?--Kamek126 20:57, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Well, who banned you? That's important for us to know. 22:02, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

SMASHER--Kamek126 23:01, 16 March 2012 (EDT) Or he might be called smasher101 either way.-- Kamek126 23:07, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

well next time don't come under an alternate account and insult everyone. I can see hostnames. You were banned for a reason, and some others agreed on it, not just me. please just get over it and come back in two weeks with hopefully your lesson learned. -

first time fine. second time you just did that for no reason. i said hi and i talked with n64dude and BOom. i'm banned again. care to explain cause iwe can get him if you like. and isn't in the rules not to cuss. and you did that like 6 times last night?

No ban evading. When you're banned, you can't come back on under any circumstances. Not even under a different hostname, or if it's on "accident".

And trolling people and calling them failures or whatever you did is not cool.

the six times was just me failing at setting the time limit. xP -


 * (In addition to Smasher--silly edit conflicts D:<  ) Actually, it is in the rules.  Here is it: "Swearing is allowed, but in moderation. If you overdo it, then it will count as spam."  You were banned for sockpuppeting and flaming.  The 2nd time you were banned is because YOU'RE BANNED.  YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED BACK IN IF YOU MANAGE TO SNEAK IN.  That's ban evasion.  It's only for 2 weeks, and you're lucky it's only that.  Re-read the rules, since it's obvious that you don't know them, wait the two weeks, and stop complaining on here.  This is not the place for it.  If you have a problem, you can query me or another op in chat.

wiki rules
I disagree with the rule that you may not delete your own post on a talk page. Where should I discuss this? --Paper Mario Kart 12:35, 25 March 2012 (EDT)
 * Nowhere. It's non-negotiable. Talk page discussions must be left intact, otherwise, conversations lose their integrity and user histories can become warped, and this simply cannot be allowed. The rule will not be changed anytime soon, so there is no point trying to discuss it. - 16:48, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

TPP changes
I recently passed a talk page proposal to split an article but several days later it still hasn't been split. Is it my job to split the article or an administrators?
 * Rule 11: "The original proposer must take action accordingly if the outcome of the proposal dictates it." If you need help (i.e. because it's protected or involves complicated coding or something), you can ask, but it's ultimately the proposer's responsibility to follow through with the changes. - 23:28, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

Problem is don't know a quick way to seperate the articles. Can someone help out?

Already done it so don't worry.

Inappropriate Edit Summaries
Is it possible to remove an edit summary if it is highly inappropriate and offensive? Stuff like what happened recently is totally unacceptable and hurtful, and I don't want people seeing this garbage on the wiki. If it is possible, please do it. Nobody deserves to see that. 20:30, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh, and is it possible to remove the vandal's revision in the edit history? 20:32, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

Yes, but only to admins.

umm help?
my link won`t link to the right place. how do I fix it?


 * Usually, you must enclose the article or page name in square brackets. Example:  would appear as Mario. I hope this answered your question. If not, please message me here or on my talk page.
