Related Links?
Should we start adding these kind of sections into articles?
 * Definitely. Alternatively, somethings can just be linked back to Wikipedia. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 04:13, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

Question
It's ok in events that we have more than on FA put onto FA status at the same time, instead of choosing one and shunning the other for a week, that we use the choose extension so all get the limelight? 02:52, 15 September 2007 (EDT)


 * They are all FAs. One is just spotlighted every week.  Just beacause K. Rool is on the main page does not mean Goomba and Yoshi are not FAs.  They are listed on the FA page and in the FA category.  They are all FAs. -- Son of Suns

Recently Template
Do we need this? There isn't much news normally to warrant a whole section, the sitenotice usually does fine. 05:10, 15 September 2007 (EDT)

FA Banner
The FA banner has been up since FA has been around and i made a new banner. here it is, now before i upload this, i want your opinion if this should go or the old shall stay:

MY NEW FA BANNER

Yes, I added Waluigi ......

-- 17:32, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
 * I like the old one better since it has original poses... 02:41, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

Smash Bros. Article separations
i have noticed the Smash Bros. Info in articles such as Mario, Yoshi, and Wario are very crammed in there along with their trophy info. I was wondering if we could mabey do separate pages for SSB Mario character info. Like call for example this article title: "Wario (SSB)", which would be strictly Super Smash Bros. related to Wario. -- 22:00, 20 September 2007 (EDT)
 * And, you got this idea from SmashWiki, didn't you?
 * No it just looks out of place in the articles. -- 22:22, 20 September 2007 (EDT)
 * This would just create more stub articles, or articles that would eventually be argued into remerging. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:26, 20 September 2007 (EDT)
 * I agree with Ghost Jam.

The information does not have to be smashed (forgive me) together. We have sections for stats and in-game information in these articles - trophy info can be moved to this stats section, instead of being in the Super Smash Bros. section. That is perfectly acceptable. -- Son of Suns

Super Smash Bros Brawl Forum
Does anybody know what section should I go to SSBB forums in the MarioWiki Forums?


 * Don't flame me but it'd be the console gaming section.

Thanks for responding because I had trouble searching for it.

No #darkmyst?
I've just been informed from Darkmyst op komies that all users with a host mask of !WikiGuest@ (thus all users using Special:Chat here) are blocked from #darkmyst, because we as a group caused too much trouble (*coughPlumber+Saudycough*). Whether knew this or not, I dunno, but he had to be server killed today for going in there, as the guys in #darkmyst hate our guts now (great........), and now he has been brought down with Uniju for two weeks (if he tries to evade, it's longer...).

I've never heard of this development, maybe I missed something. If it's new to you, then just don't go to #darkmyst, no one talks there anyway. If it's old...keep avoiding it, I guess...feels great to be hated, eh? 18:22, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
 * Well, this is just ducky. So we can't use our chat?
 * Well, you can't go to #darkmyst on chat. 16:13, 26 September 2007 (EDT)
 * OK. So this means that we can use the normal chat server?
 * Yup. By the way, Wayoshi started the hatred, not me! Saudy and I made them hate us more, though. 14:37, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

MPA Icons
Attention: Just to let everyone know, I have recently uploaded images of the Mario Party Advance Map icons. If anyone would like to use them to help out the articles for the Shroom City page before I do, please do. Thank you.


 * Will you be using these by tomorrow? 20:18, 27 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, I might, but I may have to do some important college work. I was hoping that you guys might take advantage of these images too. After all, the articles for the Shroom City Page is quite due for a fixer-upper.

MPA Progress
Well, that's 16 articles made/renewed. Are you guys sure you don't want to help me out on this? Because I'm going to take a nice break now.

18:08, 28 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Ah; I used to work on the Mario Party Advance articles... Until I was too busy, maybe I could take the job for now... RAPstar's taking it, I bet it's the taker of taking it!

Rating Images
I was thinking of a more effective way to list the ratings of a game on the game articles, and I was thinking. Should we use the official Rating Images used on so many boxarts? You know, such as the green box with "G" in it, and the yellow box with "PG" in it.


 * Don't we already do that? We use the official "E", "T" and "M" ratings.  We can add more official ratings for other regions though. -- Son of Suns
 * The MA rating? Wasn't it KA? - 09:36, 5 October 2007 (EDT)


 * Whoops! I meant just "M" (and have changed it).  Although no Mario game has a "M"ature rating, it is another rating example. -- Son of Suns
 * We've already decided to use ESRB, PEGI and CERO ratings in the infoboxes. Would that mean we'd need images for all of them? - 09:43, 5 October 2007 (EDT)


 * We don't need to use the images - just the words and letters so we can save space and list multiple ratings. -- Son of Suns


 * As I recall, we used the rating images in the first place because we thought it would look cool to have them in the info boxes. And, honestly, it did. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:03, 13 October 2007 (EDT)

Improvement Drive
Should we put the Improvement Drive on the main sidebar navigation? -- Son of Suns

That would mean it would be a much easier access. Twink approves. ^_^

~
 * Sounds good.

Talk archive
Could I make a template for my talk archives?
 * Use a sub-page of your user page and include it like signatures. 18:40, 10 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Ok,thx Wayo. ( Toadbert101 |[[Image:TBPaper.PNG|30px]]| Give a yell |Sez:) 18:44, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Table Trouble
I have a little problem. The Gaming Acheivements section in my homepage has been getting a little long, and I have been wanting to make a table out of them. One part being games I copleted, one part finished games, and the third being for other acheivments. I looked at how it's done on the help section, and saw the table in the Shroom City article as an example, but it just looks too complicated for me. Do you have any advice?

DK Portal
WHat happened to the dk portal?
 * KABLOOIE! -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 15:58, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

HUH?
 * HEAD ASPLOSION!

Template:Undead
Should be used on pages instead of,  and ? Or do you think we should keep the separate templates? - 16:34, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Anyone? - 12:16, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Yes. Deleting, and  as you read. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 02:21, 18 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Actually, I think I might have been too hasty with . We normally keep species basted templates, even when we have collection templates. I'ma restore that one for now. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 02:31, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

No more Stub Deletions?
After the outcome of our latest proposal we will no longer delete stubs, so will we stop deleting stubs period or will we only delete one-liners and obvious info filled articles?
 * This is the kind of stuff that should have been brought up in said proposal. >_> -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:38, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Swearing
Lately, some users have been adding strong language to their edits and forum posts. Isn't there a policy against that here? At least, people should add "***" to block off part of the swear. We have young kids here.
 * Link to swearing on the forums?
 * Link to swearing here is Pokemon DP's page; link to swearing on forums is just about any post that Uniju :D makes.
 * DP's should be censored, and yes an exact link would be nice.
 * Hmmm... I actually do not think that there are any real, full swears on the forum (there may be some like @$$ and fuc*, partially abbreviated) but I warned Uniju :D, the main perpetuator, and there shouldn't be any more trouble. However, that chat needs to be policed, as its non-controlled nature makes for an obscenity hotspot.
 * Anyone that does swear on the chat gets kicked, I police it well. All of uniju vs. DP stuff happens when I'm not around >.>
 * Not "fuc*", more like "****", n00b, have you even been reading my posts?
 * D'oh. We need some chat patrollers. I notice that most bad chat behaviour happens 4/3 A.M. And Uniju, I HAVE been reading your posts. I read EVERY post. And I do remember seeing you say something to the effect of the s-or-f-word, very, very thinly veiled, enough so that anyone with half a brain could figure it out waht the full word was.
 * If someone knew what they where already, there would be no harm in saying it.

But what if someone did not know?

This is getting too specific, and turning into a little fight. Keep this about swearing on user pages, etc. in general, not pointing fingers. -- Son of Suns
 * I already apologized to Uniju. The matter is resolved now.
 * If they DON'T know, then they can't be offended. And if they DO know, they can be NOT offended because it was censored, HA!
