Cap Block
The SM64 / SM64DS section on ! Block suggests that the article be split into "! Block" and "Cap Block." I created an article for Cap Block, but 7feetunder reverted my edits because the split wasn't discussed. Do you think an article for Cap Block should be made? Dwhitney (talk) 19:17, November 30, 2021 (EST)
 * Big changes to pages like splits and merges should be discussed first, yes. I don't have an opinion on it either way. -- 19:53, November 30, 2021 (EST)

I can't message this user
I can't message User:Results May Vary because their talk page is too long. I can't write them a message because it just lags to much, but is there some way you could tell them to archive their talk page? Thanks, that would help a lot. 13:17, December 11, 2021 (EST)

Typo fix
There's a typo on Categories. At the end of the Overview section, "Koopa" is spelled with a lowercase "k". 21:22, December 17, 2021 (EST)

Sorry. It took me a while to figure out what the second option meant. Should have read the proposal first. -- 11:57, December 25, 2021 (EST)

Warning Policy
Hi, would it be better if the anyone is changed to everyone in the "Can anyone give out warnings?" sentence on the Warning Policy page? 21:38, December 29, 2021 (EST)
 * The message seems to come across the same either way, but I'll bring it up to the rest of the team and see what they think. -- 12:06, December 30, 2021 (EST)

Hot Wheels page
Hello! Before starting a revert war I have to ask, is there a wiki policy pertaining merchandise? I can see that most articles about merchandise don't include a "one in package and one open" gallery so I don't see why this should apply too specially since there are not good quality images of everything on the web and no one else is helping to add photos of their own. Regards! MariusM (talk) 14:35, January 3, 2022 (EST)
 * As far as I'm aware there's not a specific policy for that, however there is precedent to have both images, such as Gallery:amiibo and other items on the Hot Wheels page. Personally I think in this specific case, it's good to have both images to provide a clear picture of the product. Since these are fairly recent products it shouldn't be too difficult to find high-quality images of them, online storefronts can be a good place to look. -- 16:06, January 3, 2022 (EST)
 * Exactly, the amiibo Mainspace page and the Gallery:amiibo are two different pages that cover different aspects. In this case the first shows the toys Out of Box while the latter is for OoB and IB. The Hot Wheels page should be more akin to the amiibo page for general information, available images and lists. A new page Gallery:Hot Wheels can be created to add both options, but not the mainspace one. The other items on the Hot Wheels page that appear with both were added by you since 2019 and there hasn't been any clear intention of adding the rest by you or anyone else for the other lines besides the Character cars very recently. MariusM (talk) 17:27, January 3, 2022 (EST)
 * The amiibo article may be an outlier, but the principle is still the same. Hot Wheels (like most other merchandise-based articles such as San-ei Co., Ltd. and K'NEX) isn't split between an article and a separate gallery, it's more of a hybrid page. You could propose it, but there's no reason to split off into a separate gallery in my opinion, because there's just not enough information about the merchandise line by itself to warrant separate pages for the information and the images. -- 18:08, January 3, 2022 (EST)
 * My point was not to create the Gallery. As you well said amiibo is the outlier, the rest of the merchandise pages don't have a need for both OoB and IB. In this similar vein the images IB show the product well enough, the issue is that the Gallery tabs reduce the size of the image and it seems to not be clear enough to exemplify the products altough when clicking on every image gives the detail I think you'd like to be added to the page. The other point I'm raising is that the fact that someone adds a "Nocoverart.png" to a Gallery should only be done when no other image exists at all that exmplifies the object or subject. In this case there was a IB image for most, if another user has or can add a second image with different details it should be done after uploading them, not as placeholders with no particular intention from the user or others to add them in a not specified future. Also, if a group picture exemplifies all the products and there doesn't seem to be individual images, why not leave the group photo? MariusM (talk) 18:33, January 3, 2022 (EST)
 * amiibo is the outlier in organization, not coverage. There's no reason not to have both images for better coverage. The formatting you had under the 8-Car Series section with the group photo and the gallery removed isn't really the kind of formatting that works well on a wiki either, I'm afraid. As far as I'm aware there's not really anything set in stone for using image placeholders, there could be an argument either way for that. -- 19:00, January 3, 2022 (EST)

BJAODN
I put on the headers of entries without pages because some used the template like this before I cleaned up the pages; many of the entries were pages at a point in time; and it just looks better alongside the headers with links. ShootingStar7X (talk) 08:01, March 8, 2022 (EST)
 * I really don't think that's necessary, the point of the header link is to show that this is a real page that (currently) exists and to take you there. Having what appears to be a link that goes nowhere because the page was deleted long ago isn't really helpful. Fake link has its uses but I don't think this is one of them. -- 11:56, March 8, 2022 (EST)

No longer using Discord
Just letting you know that I set my Discord account to be permanently disabled in 2 weeks. I don't want to talk about why (and here is not the right place to anyway). Results May Vary (talk) 12:38, March 8, 2022 (EST)

Talk pages are wholesome
Know what I mean? Feels like classic wiki when I use talk pages to discuss rather than Discord (though doesn't resolve problem with private discussions). Results May Vary (talk) 19:23, March 11, 2022 (EST)
 * Yeah, not so good when there's a lot to discuss if you can help it, but they're nice to use once in a while. -- 19:26, March 11, 2022 (EST)
 * I think I'm going to use Chat daily (or at least check in there daily). Discord is causing it to become very inactive & it can be useful if members of community want to direct contact me (though a problem with IRC, I think, is that it publicly list IP Results May Vary (talk) 10:50, March 12, 2022 (EST)

Talking about wiki projects
Is it ok if I mention some wiki projects (as long as not done excessively & within context)? I told LinkTheLefty that some of the deleted/out of scope Mario Wiki articles live on at Miraheze (me & him have discussed Triforce Wiki and some other wiki stuff before, so it not advertising). I'm not sure what inclined me to message one of the other users -- I think I was saying that I'm thankful that his work on here with obscure Nintendo stuff & it relation to Mario help me on a separate wiki project. Results May Vary (talk) 13:14, March 12, 2022 (EST)
 * I don't think there would be any issue with it. -- 13:19, March 12, 2022 (EST)
 * That's good to know, especially because I think some others around here don't like seeing some of the content here wasted (or want to make more of it, but Mario Wiki not being the right home for it, e.g. Conker, Zelda, Banjo, SSB). Results May Vary (talk) 13:25, March 12, 2022 (EST)

Wario hates dithered images

A New idea for Mario Kart Tour's variants
Hey there. I've still been trying to think of ways to cover most of Mario Kart Tour's various variants. I did bring up a new idea on Tour's talk page about possibly creating list articles for a base subject's variants (example "List of Mario Variants in Mario Kart Tour). It's been some time and not much activity has kicked up, so I thought I'd try asking some people directly, mostly people who were involved with my initial proposal concerning palette swaps. I understand the opposition, but I still feel we can cover variants differently, since Mario has like nearly 20 variants in total. I know that there are a lot of characters who only have like one or two variants, which is why I was thinking maybe we could make listing articles for subjects who reach a certain number of variants. I was hoping to get some further insight on other people's opinions and see if they have anything they can contribute further in terms of ideas on how it could work or things I could be missing. 14:50, March 30, 2022 (EDT)
 * I've seen it, not sure if I have anything to add right now unfortunately. -- 15:14, March 30, 2022 (EDT)
 * That's fine. If you do have any thoughts in the future, feel free to let me know. 15:27, March 30, 2022 (EDT)

Proposal rule change
My proposal to amend rule 8 just passed, and both proposed solutions are pending application. The rule should be edited to read like this:

"Any proposal where none of the options have at least four votes will be extended for another week. If after three extensions, no options have at least four votes, the proposal will be listed as "NO QUORUM." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion."

20:37, April 21, 2022 (EDT)
 * Alright, it's been updated. -- 20:41, April 21, 2022 (EDT)

Models
Both types have a place is all I can say. There was no need whatsoever to delete those SM3DL images; they depict the entity in a different manner with different pros and cons. I strongly suggest you work on your trigger discipline; you are not the sole arbiter on what images should stay. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:25, May 25, 2022 (EDT)
 * Contexts that, if I may point out, are already covered by gameplay screenshots, and if I might add, done better since you can see them in the context of the in-game environment there. Sandmaargh's was even directly edited out of this exact screenshot. (Not sure if we have any exact matches for Tanooki Mario looking up admittedly, but we obviously don't need separate images for every single thing a model can do.) Nothing important was lost, and I wouldn't have deleted them if there would have been. I don't think I'm being the "sole arbiter" on this and I did bring discussion up both in the Discord server and on the proposal, where several users supported moving in this direction. Of course I do welcome anyone to call me out if they think I've gone too far (preferably on specific instances so I can easily address them), I'm trying to be fairly cautious but others may disagree and a second opinion never hurt. -- 12:16, May 26, 2022 (EDT)
 * OK. For future reference, reasons like that should be logged, since once they're gone, we can't exactly compare to screenshots retroactively. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:15, May 26, 2022 (EDT)
 * Turns out Tanooki Mario was a direct crop from File:SM3DLNewScreenshot 5.png. -- 15:37, May 26, 2022 (EDT)

Are the Miraheze Fresh Websites Wiki and Rotten Websites Wiki closing?
As the RFC for closing the Miraheze Fresh Websites Wiki and Rotten Websites Wiki succeeded, are those wikis closing?

Requesting userpage deletion
Hi, this is Results May Vary. I've waited for the right moment to ask, but I'm kindly requesting for my user page to be deleted (not talk page). It's not running away -- it's to symbolize the fact that I've moved on. I am sorry for ever being involved with the wikis, delayed and hesitant apologies, and I am also sorry for being very mean to some folks online. I don't want to appeal my ban -- please, if anything, keep me permabanned -- as unbanning me would not reflect the fact that I'm done with online communities from now on (and no, this is not one of those cases). People did not trust me to learn from my mistakes or not do the same thing again, so by deleting the Discord and moving on, both online and in real life, that is my best way of conveying it.

Also, people might be bugged by the alternative wikis I've either founded or established, but unlike what some may think, it's not to stand up to haters (that was the early days). It's just me wanting to do my own thing from now on. 45.34.11.165 12:16, July 3, 2022 (EDT)

Diddy Kong Pilot article name
The game was not finished by end of the 2001, and still under development in 2002. There has May 3, 2002 edition of Scribes from Rareware. Also according to former Rare employee in 2010, the game was finished but refused to publish due to relationship between Nintendo and Rare are worsen. Windy (talk) 13:11, July 15, 2022 (EDT)
 * The identifier is based on when the game was showcased, but either way, this should be a discussion with consensus instead of just trying to justify it to me. -- 13:14, July 15, 2022 (EDT)
 * The first iteration was shown at E3 2001, while the second iteration was not shown to public. The former has a build after September 7, 2001, but it has not been leaked. While the latter was reworked into Banjo-Pilot with fixing various bug. Windy (talk) 13:38, July 15, 2022 (EDT)

If the Diddy Kong Pilot got an official release similar to Star Fox 2, I will archiving all of the prototype stuffs in TCRF, while remove the prototype stuffs and rewrite the contents in this wiki.

Using other users' personal images in userbox?
Hi there Waluigi Time. I want to ask, if it's okay.

I'm considering to put some userboxes when creating my userpage. I want to ask, is it okay to use images, specifically: other users' personal images (like the GIF of Kirby bobbing his head with headphone on, for example) in the userboxes without their permission and whatnot, or should I not use them? Thanks in advance. Starry Windy (talk) 23:33, August 19, 2022 (EDT)

NS -> Switch
Why exactly are you moving all of those files? The proposal failed 3-8 & Porple agreed to leave the filename moves out of it when they made all the other changes. 22:41, September 10, 2022 (EDT)
 * Because the files were mistakenly reuploaded with new filenames and replaced by another user with the new titles, so it was either move the old files to the new names to preserve the history or revert all the edits that were made to swap them out on pages. Either way, the proposal failing doesn't prevent those files from being moved, it just means they don't all have to be moved (and the title doesn't really matter all that much either way, really). -- 22:45, September 10, 2022 (EDT)

Is there a way for me to check how many personal images I have uploaded/are attributed to me on the wiki? If not, would you please do it for me?

Background object removals for artwork
Last I checked, as long as it's not a .jpg, isolating subjects in artwork is allowed (heck, there are plenty on here ripped from full scene art). I generally prefer not to, but that image being made pointlessly wide compared to the others due to the car (itself a separate subject) left me without much choice. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:28, February 17, 2023 (EST)
 * Edits like that really shouldn't be made, even for presentation. It gives off the impression that Nintendo officially released artwork of him without the kart when they didn't, especially when it's being used as his infobox image and in the game's gallery. (Also, it was pretty easy to tell where the kart was edited out.) Images that were edited out of a larger piece of artwork shouldn't be allowed either, if focusing on something specific is necessary it can just be cropped. -- 18:40, February 17, 2023 (EST)
 * How about solely cropping out the left side of the car exclusively to use on the table so it's not so short and wide compared to the others, but is obvious in its intent? (Also I'm curious how it was obvious-looking, I thought I accounted for the anti-aliasing fairly well... and I'm not convinced the current infobox image isn't also an artificial background removal, either...) For the record, I generally despise the practice of artificially breaking up group art and similar practices. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:46, February 18, 2023 (EST)
 * Assuming you're referring to just cropping the image and not editing anything out, I really don't think that's necessary, and for what it's worth, Glowsquid didn't either when I asked about it. It's not like it's a huge issue or anything. It also doesn't seem too good for presentation for the main game page to be having artwork that's cut off if we can help it. (It was pretty clear to me where the edges were pixelly where the kart was edited out, compared to the smooth edges elsewhere.) -- 17:14, February 18, 2023 (EST)
