Purge Cache
Uh, hey Steve. A while back, a troll vandalized a few templates with lewd ASCII art, which has persisted in the cache. I added a link to "Purge Cache" in the sidebar but Wayoshi suggested that I ask you to move it to the toolbox. So if you could do that, I'd appreciate it. Or if you could just purge the entire cache, that'd be cool too. Thanks. 22:04, 19 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Are you using this to clean pages or do you expect guests to use it? -- 22:22, 19 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Um, I was using it. It doesn't show up for guests yet anyway. 22:29, 19 April 2009 (EDT)
 * You can use it where it is for now but once we're clean get rid of it because I really don't want just anyone clearing the cache for funsies as it will put more strain on the server. Thank you. -- 22:37, 19 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I won't really know when. I've got no way to find the pages that are affected other than when guests complain. Anyway, if you think it'll be a problem, I'll remove it. The manual way isn't hugely inconvenient or anything. 22:43, 19 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Okay. -- 00:56, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Hey Steve...
I have a question. Seeing as you are the creator of the wiki, you would know the best on the subject. What are Bots? Because the page that lists the users who have high rankings (Patrollers, Sysops, Buerecrats) has Bots on the drop-down selection.
 * Bots are robo-tools used to perform mundane tasks. We don't have any. -- 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Ok. Thank you for letting me know.

Stooben
He got hacked by Rudnicki. As a precaution, can you demote him from op in chat until we get this worked out? Thanks.
 * Thanks. -- 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Your Porplemontage-ness...
I am just informing you that I started a new proposal on the wiki that, if passed, would create a new ranking of users. If you would like to know more about it, please check the proposals page itself, I don't want to mess up the explanation.
 * Sounds good. -- 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Thank you. By the way, if the proposal were to somehow pass, would you personally be ok with adding the rank? If not, is there anybody else who could add the rank?
 * I would do it (but it's not looking good). -- 17:10, 2 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I know. Thank you.

Chat
Did Gadmosikano/C0rwin go into the chat impersonating me? He (he's my friend) says he went in and swore at you a lot.


 * No. -- 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Help! I've been hacked again!
Steve, this is the real Stooben Rooben; I've been hacked again! If you want proof you can check my IP, I don't know how the hacker did it but I need help! Can you recover my password?

If you can't, please demote the troll before he hurts someone again like he did on the forums.

Stooby 08:09, 2 May 2009 (EDT)
 * IP is different, dude. -- 11:58, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Access List
Can you add me to the #mariowiki access list??
 * What? -- 00:02, 5 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Actually, the Ops decided against giving Patrollers Op status in chat. 00:26, 5 May 2009 (EDT)

Pic of the weak
Err, the poll selection and the proposals have a link on the sidebar under community, but the picture selection page isn't. do you think that that would be a good thing to put under community? -
 * Its link on the main page is fine. Proposals stays because they are a big deal. I'll move poll selection. Thank you. -- 00:06, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

Polls
I was wondering, what exactly do you use to power your polls? I'd like to install that feature on my music wiki. 15:47, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Advanced Poll + iFrame extension to embed them in the wiki. -- 16:26, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Got it! Thanks! 14:42, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

Site Q's
Hey Steve, What pay level is the Super Mario Wiki? Just wondering coz I have a secret wiki that I might use pay-hosting for. Anyways, thanks 01:53, 20 May 2009 (EDT)
 * We don't use Referata. -- 13:03, 20 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Oh okay. What do u use? 02:14, 22 May 2009 (EDT)

Vandalized
User:Il Koopissimo vandalized the royalty template and created numerous spam articles! Could you please block him Founder Porplemontage?

Chat Problem
HI STEVE!!! Uh.., i have a problem, the shroom's channnel, #mw-shroom, cant be accessed in the MW chat, its already in MediaWiki:ircapplet. I would greatly apreciate any help. Thanks i cant sign properly in my dsi...
 * I think it's because of the "-" in the name. THe Channel might need to be renamed Tucayo in order for us to be able to access it. I ran some tests by adding another channel, #test-test to the applet, and couldn't access it either. The "-" would be my best guess.
 * I can access it just fine. I added and  to the access list just the other day.  16:01, 5 June 2009 (EDT)
 * In the MW chat???
 * Yeah. 21:12, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

Your Porplemontage-ness (Again)
Steve, I need you to check my proposal again. If it passes (unlike the original version), would it be okay if you added the ranking?
 * Give it up boy. -- 14:37, 5 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, sure.

!
Nothing important, but I had no idea you was the master of Super Mario Wiki! Cool!
 * Yeah man. -- 21:24, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

My story
The honorable Inter-wiki Porplemontage-ness, I have a question. Would you like to have a guest appearance in my story, The Legend of Zeldagirl? I would portray you as you are, the wise leader of the Mario Wiki (in the story, the wiki is called the Mario Wikingdom).
 * Yeah man. -- 21:24, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

Poll Question
Hello Steve, I'm just wonering about the MarioWiki Poll. I want one on my site, just wondering where you get the extensions or whatever from (like Stooby said above, but I don't get it). Ok, thanks 18:57, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah you gotta try to figure it out. Advanced Poll is not wiki-related but you install it and iFrame in the polls from it. -- 21:24, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Could you possibly give me a link or something, I really don't understand, sorry.

02:56, 23 June 2009 (EDT)

Upgrading
Hey Steve. You may have noticed that we have a relatively outdated version of MediaWiki (we currently have 1.10.2, the newest one is 1.15). Any future plans for upgrading to the latest version?
 * We have so many extensions that get screwed over it's not easy. -- 21:24, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
 * That's understandable. Our version isn't even that bad anyway, or at least not yet. There is nothing really drastically different from our version than the latest version.

TehDman
Can you change his access level to 150? Since Ultima Bahamut and Neurario have retired, I'm the only 150, and frankly, it's quite a big job to handle since I'm at work full-time now. Thanks. 13:03, 15 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah okay. -- 21:24, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Thanks, dude. 04:36, 17 June 2009 (EDT)

Upgrade and security
HI STEVE! 2 things:

1. WHy dont we upgrade to the latest mediawiki version? the wiki is running very slow apparently beacuse of that.

2. What would you think about some human verification thing to join? You know, the words tyou have to write correctly?
 * Speed has nothing to do with the version and we have measures to prevent bots from joining. -- 18:15, 29 June 2009 (EDT)

will we upgrade? many people wants to know that. then why is the wiki slow? Thanks! :)
 * No. And the wiki is slow because the server can't always keep up with the number of visitors. -- 01:31, 30 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Then upgrade the server again. 01:43, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

Show / Hide question
Hey Steve, I'm just wondering, when you created Mario Wiki, did the show/hide extension (used on User:Bella-Yoshi/navigation etc) come with it? Thanks. 04:53, 2 July 2009 (EDT)
 * No. -- 07:59, 2 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Okay, where did you get it from, abd how do you download it? Thanks again. 19:10, 3 July 2009 (EDT)
 * We use this one. You have to copy the source to a PHP file. -- 22:52, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

Hi Porple
Hello Porplemontage. How are you? 23:32, 4 July 2009 (EDT)
 * I'm good and you? -- 01:41, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

personal js/css pages
Is this feature disabled on this wiki, as I tried to create one, and it deosn't seem to load after I clear my cashe. Thanks. :) Erwin Springer [ talk ] 17:54, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Custom CSS and JS is enabled so I don't get it. -- 07:07, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

another MediaWiki question
Hello Steve, sorry to bother you again. But I'm just wondering: how did you get MarioWiki? Do you download the latest version of MediaWiki? Okay thanks and sorry I keep wasting your time with (probably) really obvious questions 03:29, 6 July 2009 (EDT) =)
 * Yes. -- 07:07, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

?
Is it anoying to have to read all of this. User:Gamer2.1
 * I think I heard about that. -- 16:11, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

Chat op
Quick thought, what do you have to do to become one nowadays? -Toadbert101
 * Pray that your talents are noticed. -- 00:44, 8 July 2009 (EDT)

Footnote
Hey, would it be possible to enable this? 16:16, 8 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Can't do it with this version. -- 01:25, 9 July 2009 (EDT)

Name
Hey dude how do I change my name on here cause I want to change my name.
 * Changing username -- 10:06, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

New here...
I'm new here and I'm struggling to navigate all the help pages etc.There's just so much it's mind-boggling!Do you have any tips on ways to study and learn how to edit,or should I just spend a few days reading each help page over and over?Also,should I put spaces after the end of sentences and how exactly do you make a talk?-WeegeeO
 * Help pages, look at what other people do. -- 10:06, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

Hold on.
Some articles have characters not "up to potential". Take The twin swords, for example. If Bowser can smash two sacred swords with his bare arm, wouldnt he be "Super strong?"--Krystal 20:59, 18 July 2009 (EDT)
 * I don't get it. -- 12:07, 19 July 2009 (EDT)

Please contact me on my Talk page or I wont know you have answered.--Krystal 14:34, 13 August 2009 (EDT)
 * You look back to the place you asked your question. -- 14:41, 13 August 2009 (EDT)

So, anyway, back to the crux. Still, those swords were rendered unbreakable by magic. Then when Mario uses them on Bowser, he stops them with his bare arm, which cracks one and causes the other to snap in two. He's stronger than mentioned here.--Krystal 14:58, 13 August 2009 (EDT)

Advice?
Hi, it's Doopliss rocks. I'm trying to get feedback about my userpage and advice for future changes. Could you please leave a comment on my talk page about it? Thanx in advance. -
 * Have you seen my page? Ask Mr. Owl. -- 12:07, 19 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks
Hey Steve, thanks for helping me out with the domain name. I really appreciate it. Also, how do you make editing only avaliable to registered users,  and allow external images ? Thanks so much. =) 04:49, 28 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Add to LocalSettings:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
 * -- 14:12, 28 July 2009 (EDT)

Regain Op Status
I've been unretired now for a few weeks - can I please have chat operator status again? -- 18:46, 5 August 2009 (EDT) (I've not been on much this week because of reasons I don't want to go into but come Friday I'll be back - and more active than usual!)
 * I'm leaving this up to the chat gurus. -- 00:45, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Interview
Hey, porp! here, and I'd to interview you about Mario Super Sluggers for the award that I'm presenting. [If you haven't played this game, just drop me a line and I'll interview you about another one :)]

General
Do you think making Super Mario Sluggers was a good move on Nintendo’s part?

Why or Why not?

Do you think they should have changed the controls?

Is there anything that they should have put in the remake that was in the original?

Are there any features (either new features or those that were passed on from the original) that they should have removed?

Rate this game from 1-10:

Specific
Do you think they should have added or taken away characters?

Who's your favorite Captain?

If you could change anybody's Star Moves, would you?

Which items would you add/remove if you could?
 * I haven't played the game, and aren't you supposed to have someone agree to an interview before you issue it? -- 19:30, 7 August 2009 (EDT)

The job queue length is 1,300.
Is this significant? 20:21, 8 August 2009 (EDT)
 * It's going down. -- 01:41, 9 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Was it significant? 02:39, 9 August 2009 (EDT)
 * No. -- 03:46, 9 August 2009 (EDT)

Reminder
Wow, I'm having lots of luck tonight... so, can you please click the above header and go to the corresponding discussion, read it and respond. (I love being vague) OK, now I really need help, here goes:
 * 1) Can you please explain what is wrong with User:Marioguy1/Userboxes? I've tried Time Q, I tried myself but I can't figure it out.
 * 2) What is marking a revision as patrolled? I noticed that 2257 marked Template talk:Reminder as patrolled. What does that mean?
 * What do you mean what's wrong with it? What about it is not desired? And when something is patrolled it just means that a legit edit has been made and it wasn't spam or a troll edit. And I don't have a comment on Reminder. -- 03:46, 9 August 2009 (EDT)

Wiki skin
It works!! Thankyou soo much! I'll try not to use you as an instruction manual from now on, but thankyou!! 04:27, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
 * No problem. -- 08:14, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Why did you delete the affilitates bar?
It was so handy if I want to go to another site! And now...
 * The bar is here now. If you want a handy way to go to their sites just add the affiliates to your bookmarks. -- 11:20, 17 August 2009 (EDT)
 * B-but I don't want them as favorites. I want them on the Main Page.
 * But the main page is just one webpage; as bookmarks you can access your favorite Mario-related sites from wherever you are on the Internet. And if the wiki is slow or unavailable you'll always have your favorites! -- 14:16, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Server
I'm guessing that you got the server stuff configured? Well anyway, how are you Steve? 01:02, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Yes, the server is good to go. I'm good; a little tired. -- 01:06, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, good to hear about the server. Also, I'd like to be one of the first users to thank you for upgrading our server. 01:11, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Hey, not a problem. It's for the good of the wiki. :D -- 01:44, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * So, we're thanking you? OK, so thanks!

Problem Alert!
I just pressed random page and it linked me to Army Hammer Bro.. That article doesn't exist! I think it may be because of the existent talk page which you should delete.-- Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 01:51, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the heads up. The latest revision of the article was corrupted, so I deleted it and restored the second most recent version of the page. We're now officially on glitch patrol as we settle in to the new server. -- 02:04, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Try Template:Collaborations for another. Also, is it just my computer or is this page glitched?
 * Nah, I saw it too.
 * It's happening on Template:Notices too and I don't want to see Maintenance. The whole database is glitching up. I think you may have to remake the featured article process and delete Mariowiki:Maintenance.
 * All the DPL messages are because I set the wiki to only run DPL from protected pages. -- 02:31, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

Well, the wiki's FA thing is bugged now. So is the Pipe Plaza. Yikes, can you like, unset that?
 * Yes. -- 02:35, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

Hey Porple...
Hey Steve, could please post this proposal in the Admin Board as possibly harmful? I believe the administrators allowed a rule to allow themselves to delete harmful proposals within reason. 10:43, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * We've got our eye on it and wouldn't let anything harmful happen. -- 11:06, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Okay. Thanks. 11:15, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

Hi, can you help me?
Hi, I'm user FunkyK38, I was wondering, can you delete User:Catholic Cent. for me? It's a sockpuppet I accidentally made, and I was wondering if you could delete it for me. Thanks.


 * Can't delete users; you'll just have to abandon Catholic Cent. -- 11:06, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Okay, thanks.
 * I really like the main page you designed, it should help SMB's proposal for the MP. It should satistfy everyone, and it looks AWESOME!!!
 * Thanks man. -- 16:42, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

Sprites?
Do you know anyone who is good at sprite-making? If you do, could you contact them for me? Oh, and they should be SM wiki users. Thanks. Hate the N64DD 15:20, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * I really don't. Userpedia users are into that stuff, though. -- 23:34, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

Well, if you can't help there I have a name change that hasn't gone through (Hate the N64DD to Electrobomber). Hate the N64DD
 * Sure. -- 11:00, 21 August 2009 (EDT)

Question...
Could we announce in that we moved to a new server? Also, just a question, what is that template specifically for, anyway? 22:30, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Also, could you please move this page (mainspace) onto this one (userspace)? The person who created it didn't know, and I can't move this into their userspace (it's protected). 23:10, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
 * I removed WikiNews from the main page. If someone wants to update Announcement regarding the server they can. -- 23:30, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

???
Hey Steve, what's been happening in the last day or so? No one could edit any pages and then when everything goes back to normal, I check the recent changes and see your name under reverting of many pages, such as user talk pages and a page I edited, replacing it with the gramatically flawed version I fixed. What's happening?
 * Hey, welcome back. The wiki was moved to a new server, and during the move pages were blocked from being edited so that the wiki wouldn't change during the move. Unfortunately, a number of edits made on August 14 became corrupted, so if the most recent version of a page was edited on August 14, the page would not show up. Because of this I had to revert these pages back to a version that was not created on the 14th. Everything should be back to normal now, and the wiki is faster on the new server. -- 09:54, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

Babel
I"m trying to set up a Babel section for Hebrew. Can you please help?


 * The Babel is 's project; he's your man for this. -- 15:42, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

Your Website?
Why did you remove your other website, Porplemontage studios? Was it getting to costy to run both this website and the other, or something...? WikiGuest 00:28, 21 August 2009 (EDT)
 * No, it just became inactive. I'd like to do something with it again when the timing is right. -- 00:46, 21 August 2009 (EDT)

Sidebar
Hey Porple, could you please add a link to Featured Images to the sidebar? 16:06, 22 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Instead of listing Featured Articles and having Featured Images right underneath it, I've made a little portal for our featured stuff. -- 16:56, 22 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Ok, thank you. 16:58, 22 August 2009 (EDT)

Formatting
I need to know how to change the size of an image that hasn't been officially uploaded to the wiki. There are a couple in my userbox tower. Please respond on my talk page.

GREAT IDEA!
Since Userpedia keeps changing servers, it should move to a final frontier: userpedia.mariowiki.com. Once again, please reply on my talk. Thanks.

Rename
Could you please rename me to Super Paper Mario Bros. ? I would prefer that none of my sup-pages are moved. Thanks in advance. 19:56, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Why don't you want your subpages moved? -- 19:59, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Wait, but do redirects get created? If so, then that is ok. :) 20:00, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Wow, you have way too many subpages. -- 20:04, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * I know. 20:06, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Does this mean I don't get my pages moved? 20:22, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah; congratulations. -- 20:26, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * ? 20:28, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * You didn't want them moved originally. -- 20:29, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Is there any way I could get them moved? I'm sorry to put you through all of this... :/ But I'd highly appreciate it if you did. 20:31, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * If you don't want to move the pages, I'd be okay if you just renamed me back to Super Mario Bros. 20:32, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Thanks :) 21:43, 24 August 2009 (EDT)

Big Problem
Until early July, Chat was great. The wildest it would get would be people quoting BJAODN or singing Weird Al. Now, people just swear randomly, flame, and ops don't even follow the rules. Last night, Jorge, Turboo, and Henrydamoose were saying all sorts of crap about me, and Clear Discoherency did it today. All of us should've been kicked at least twelve times, and the only time anyone was kicked was when I flooded in protest. An anonymous source told me Porple kicked a user for "being a noob". I'm not alone in my opinion, and many users have left the wiki altogether because of it. I'm gonna try to wait it out, though. Enough is enough. Something needs to be done.


 * I am Porple. -- 18:30, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Steve, how about taking this seriously please? A gigantic shake-up in the op roster might cure this idiocy. Give an actual response, ralph knows you're Porple, we're on your freakin' talk page. 18:44, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * If he knew I was Porple the least he could have done was refer to me as "you." Point is I didn't kick anybody for being a noob. And I approved a shakeup a little while back. My cronies are supposed to watch this stuff. If that didn't work then submit a private request for chat promotions/demotions citing registered chat names and include reasoning. Your guess as to who should be running that hellhole is good enough for me. Thank you. -- 19:15, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * I beleieve we should do something serious about chat NOW, perhaps starting from zero, with new rules, ops and that. --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  21:20, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Per Tucayo, most of our ops are power abusers. Start from scratch, and I suggest making all Admins of Mariowiki ops. 21:39, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Bad idea, just because they're sysops on the wiki doesn't mean they know anything about IRC. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]
 * Ok, then those that we deem op-worthy. A new chat has been made on #mwchat, we're protesting until we get better ops. 21:51, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Unfinished?
I noticed on the conker (series) page that there are a lot of red links. Is there someone working on them or can I delete the links until someone is ready to create all those pages? Or would deleting all those links make too much work putting them all back again when we're ready? Electrobomber 12:22, 27 August 2009 (EDT)
 * You can leave the links. -- 12:37, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

You are cordially invited...

 * Hey, this is a bad time for me. I'm not going to have computer access for a few days and after that I will go into more busyness. -- 19:13, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

CHAT PROBLEM
My ban isn't on the list, yet I still can't get on under any nick. Please help.


 * Talk to whomever banned you or who wants to unban you. -- 19:13, 27 August 2009 (EDT)


 * St00by's trying to help. Jorge banned me but he isn't on.  See this.  The ban was last night.  One hour.



polls
Yoshi! Hi Steve, I have a problem and coincollector said to ask you, ok heregoes, what's the formula for polls as I have a shroom section on it? Thanks.
 * If you want to make new polls you would have to use the service Wayo used for the awards with iframe. -- 13:58, 31 August 2009 (EDT)

Hi.
I see you a lot.Just wanted to say hi.

User:Booman
 * Hey man, good to finally hear from you. -- 22:17, 31 August 2009 (EDT)

Hey Porplemontage,I made a Sub-Page called Paper Users.You play a role. Go Here To see what I did so far.(Not finished.)

User:Booman
 * Okay. -- 22:59, 31 August 2009 (EDT)

Featured Article Help
Yo Steve! I've been working on the Diddy Kong Racing article for a while and now I think it's good enough to become a featured article. But I'm not sure about how to do everything. Do I just put FASTAT on the top of the page or do I need to do something after that...um... I'm confused about that. Can ya tell me all the steps to nominating that article? (Please reply on my talk page) fawfulfury65
 * I've never done it. -- 13:09, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

Advertising
So what do you do if someone is advertising a product on their userpage? Ignore it or warn them?
 * I need to see the page in question. Usually it's okay unless the account is registered for the sole purpose of advertising. -- 13:09, 2 September 2009 (EDT)
 * If you insist - User:Dtbbiplagre‎. If this helps, it is his only edit.
 * Yeah that's no good. -- 13:22, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

Help me(please?)!
Hey porple,how do you upload images?

-Booman
 * Upload file in the toolbox. -- 19:23, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

sysop?
Am I bugging you yet? Anyway I was wondering, how you become a sysop?
 * Be good and know the wiki; the rest is pure luck. -- 19:01, 4 September 2009 (EDT)

Mah boi!
Remember on chat? A while ago? I asked you about what you expected with the Wiki and stuff? Basically, I asked you some questions for a school project, yes? WELL, as everybody else was lying about them getting Jimmy Wales' post code, and they send him letters (which the replies are apparently burnt XD) and some kid who said he "friended" the creator of YouTube (Who he had no proof to provide, so he got the fail...). However, due to the fact I actually had the brains to use the printscreen for proof that I DID get the information from you, the fact that I managed to communiate with somebody who created one of the most successful communities on the internet, a site which even some of my teacher's children use for Mario info, I, Cameron (yes, my real name) have conquered my peers and I am now known as a "Legend" (British slang for 'somebody of good quality), and I have progressed in the sets for community building, social and ICT lessons, gained popularity among the staff as a responsible person, and it's all thanks to you, Sir, Porple, Steve, and from that moment that lasted less than 2 minutes, you have helped created a more positive future for me. In internet speak: "OMG! U HAZ CHANGED MY LIFE!". Steve, you are an amazing bloke, and you may not realise the effects you have done, but even though I only move up to high school next year and your almost in college, I think you should study hard, get into that university, do what you find best and if you become unsatisfied at any point, just remember that "s--t happens". When you become famous in some way (High hopes,yes?), look back on us at the Wiki! Bye now! Hope to speak to you again! OK, I'm being a bit over the top, but seriously, I can't say anything else: YOU ROCK.
 * Awesome; I'm glad everything worked out. Thanks for the kind words. -- 19:01, 4 September 2009 (EDT)

Hi!
Hi, its Cmario17...I don't know how to put this, but... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING SUPER MARIO WIKI!!!! I first found your site when I decided to try to make a "Super Mario Chess Game" (it doesn't really work, but I still like the idea)...I needed pictures, and SuperMarioWiki always had the best ones, I haven't played EVERY game, so I read Bowser and Mario's articles to find out their FULL history, and was so astounded (in a good way) that I decided to become a member. This site is SO AWESOME!

Can we be friends? Cmario 17
 * Glad you like it. We'll be the best of friends. -- 16:31, 10 September 2009 (EDT)

Hey Porple
Can you please protect my talk page as soon as I move it to my archive, thanks so much
 * Sure. -- 16:31, 10 September 2009 (EDT)

You're in it.
Hi, PM, you know how lots of users are making MarioWiki games? Well, I'm making one, and you're in it, if that's okay with you.
 * What type of game? -- 17:40, 11 September 2009 (EDT)
 * It's an adventure game. Sort of like Subspace Emissary and Paper Mario, sort of.
 * Cool. Sounds good to me. -- 19:45, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

Thanks. If you're going to be in it, you're going to need this.
 * I don't do userbox. -- 20:16, 11 September 2009 (EDT)
 * All you really have to do is keep it here.
 * You got it. -- 20:23, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

 * Thank you. -- 19:45, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

Speaking of games...
I too, am making a game. It's going to be SMB3 style with you and all the other 'crats being kidnapped by Warioloaf and his friends (random vandals). Me and several other users will stop it. Do you lie it?
 * It's my favorite game ever. -- 23:35, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

Ehh...
Ummm... my proposal includes making certain changes to the site's settings in the database. I was wondering if that is physically possible for you to do. I need a quick answer on this one.
 * Can't do it. -- 20:38, 13 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Porple, can you help Apheta with his user page?
 * Of course. -- 00:13, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Thanks Alpheta 00:41, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

Double Redirects
Someone forgot to do some redirecting when they switched accounts (not you). Anyhow, this person has several double redirects that are clogging up this page. Could you please change the user page redirects to the second one, or the first, basically could you please fix them?
 * Sounds good. -- 16:54, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Hey Steve, if you check this page, you can see that fawful wants his sig deleted but doesn't know how, could you just delete it? Plus, I added a page to this category. Sorry to be relying on you a lot but you're the only admin on right now.

Vote
On Yoshi's FA nom, could you please vote on the removal of oppose votes? Neither of the votes have reasons and I think they should be gone by at least 12:00PM. BTW, is there a punishment for voting again and again after your vote gets removed so that the article never passes?
 * Don't remove votes based on the given reasoning. -- 23:37, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
 * ? So, what does that mean? Sorry I don't understand, I'm only 13 :( BTW, what was the punishment for getting your vote removed then putting it back then it gets removed and you put it back and then again and again and...
 * It means I can't get involved because my solution would not make any sense. And I don't know said punishment. -- 23:57, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Maybe it can be his vote is auto-removed when he puts it back?

Locked
My archive page:User:Electrobomber:Archive1 that doesn't have stuff in it, is locked. Could you unlock it for me, and then re-lock it after I've put stuff in it?
 * You have to use a / to create a subpage... right now you're trying to edit a userpage that doesn't exist. -- 18:20, 15 September 2009 (EDT)

Problem
On chat,it says that Booman is a registered nickname. What do I do?I registered it.

-Booman
 * Make Booman your nick and then identify with
 * /ns identify password

Bad News
Awhile ago a guy named got blocked. But he is planning to crash your computer! Be on guard P.S. I know Tar boy in Person
 * Thanks for the heads up. -- 00:46, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

What are these 'bots' I'm hearing about?
What are they?

--Paper Boo Guy
 * They do not exist. -- 00:46, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

Underground Gunner
Do you think there is a difference between the underground gunners that shoot water and those that shoot electricity? I think there is and that they should not be the same article but I want input before I propose it, here are some points about their differences (Waters = Water Shooters | Zaper = The electricity shooting one): So, do you think this proposal would be a good idea?
 * Waters appear multiple times/Zaper appears once
 * Waters shoot water/Zaper shoots electricity
 * Waters are considerably easy to beat/Zapper is extremely hard and in an arena
 * There is regular music while facing waters/There is Baron Brr music when facing Zaper
 * No stars come from waters/Zaper releases a star
 * Where is the article? -- 00:46, 20 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Undergrunt Gunner, sorry for that!
 * Okay rather than have two really small articles it might be a better idea to divide up the article into two sections. I don't know if that is a good idea for the gunners because these little guys are not my specialty. So you can propose what you will or talk to someone else. -- 01:02, 20 September 2009 (EDT)
 * On that note, I support Steve's idea of creating two sections of that article that list the similarities and differences between the two. At least until we can get enough information to split the article and make them still look decent. 02:30, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

HELP
My friend told me to talk to you about my story, Wiki Adventure. 2257 is telling me that it and many others will be deleted. FunkyK38 said that maybe you can help me. So yeah, HELP ME!!!!

M64fan


 * To clarify, what's going on is that we've begun cracking down on users who violate the rules at User space 21:24, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

HELP ME!!!
Porple, my page has been hacked! There are a bunch of weird pictures I didn't put on there! Can you help me, please?
 * Template baby! If someone wants to at least semi-protect some crucial templates that would be cool. -- 15:59, 21 September 2009 (EDT)
 * I'll get the word out that those need to be protected. Thatnks for all the help.
 * I know you're probably busy doing things that are more important, but I just wanted to say you're AWESOME! You help n00bs like me with the utmost patience, and you're a good leader. Keep up the awesome work you're doing!
 * Thanks, and don't forget about that sig! -- 15:56, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Wait... what sig?
 * Sign your comments with your signature. You used it for the first line and then abandoned it. -- 16:01, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Oh. I sign only once to save room. You don't see anyone else commenting in this section, do you? But, if you want me to, I will.
 * I can't be 100% sure all the comments are from you without checking the history (other people will often chime in and say something on-topic or off). You know what you wrote because you wrote it. -- 16:12, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

ON THE LOOSE
There's some hacker on, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Template baby! If someone wants to at least semi-protect some crucial templates that would be cool. -- 15:59, 21 September 2009 (EDT)

How do I do that? Also, I think the server is screwed up, it says I have 25 guests?!

Hi
Hey, Porplemontage/Steve/founder of the website - I don't really understand the signature help page - can you help me out? Cheers!
 * Create your Special:Mypage/sig, edit your profile with User:PT PRANA/sig, and click the sig button http://www.mariowiki.com/skins/common/images/button_sig.png for results. -- 15:42, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Server Space
Exactly how much of the server's memory are we using, if you don't mind my asking (and know)? 00:31, 24 September 2009 (EDT)
 * It's a non-issue. -- 10:25, 24 September 2009 (EDT)

Image?
Whenever I try to upload an image, it says that the file source is corrupted (or something similar to that, I can't remember.) What am I doing wrong?
 * All images? -- 18:03, 24 September 2009 (EDT)

All Images... must be something wrong with my computer. Either that or I'm doing it wrong.
 * Yeah so I have no way of knowing what you're doing wrong. Try mixing it up. -- 18:12, 24 September 2009 (EDT)
