A new namespace?
Hello there! I still see here on the wiki some forum comments on game articles' respective talk pages. Instead of forcing to join the forums, I suggest the creation of a new namespace called "Game talk" where users who don't have a forum account or are forbidden to create one can talk about recently released and old games, freely. I think it would be a nice alternative to non-forum users. Waiting for an answer soon! -- 07:29, 8 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Interesting idea, but the focus of the wiki should always be the encyclopedia. -- 08:26, 8 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Thanks anyways. -- 11:41, 8 August 2012 (EDT)

...Hi.
Good day, Great Creator of the most awesome wiki ever! ...That is all.


 * Good day to you sir. -- 22:47, 14 August 2012 (EDT)

how do you block someone? Annieflower678 called me stupid Spenzer66

block help
how do you block someone? Annieflower678 called me stupid Spenzer66


 * Only administrators can block people. -- 10:31, 18 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Already taken care of. Not sure if the block length should be extended or left as one month...

Aboutfile made default in upload summary
Hello,

I run another wiki (PidgiWiki, a catalog of video game artwork), and I've been trying to figure out how to make an information template default in the upload summary, as is done here with. Is this possible by simply editing MediaWiki files, or is there custom code at work? Would you mind sharing how to do this? Thank you so much!--Immewnity (talk) 11:44, 26 August 2012 (EDT)


 * It's done through JavaScript here. You can see the code in the bottom-half of MediaWiki:Common.js and apply it to your own MediaWiki:Common.js. -- 11:49, 26 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Alright, cool. Thank you!--Immewnity (talk) 12:01, 26 August 2012 (EDT)

Dutch Mario Wiki
Hey Porple, i want to make a dutch Mario Wiki. Not via wikia but powered by Media Wiki, like this website and the german and italian version. You created the english version so maybe you can help me. I'd like to ask you're help. And i'll ask the questions later. Thanks for listening. 15:55, 26 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Ok. -- 20:43, 26 August 2012 (EDT)

My questions are:


 * 1. Does it costs for the wiki? (Without forum)
 * 2. How do i make the site? (Powered by MediaWiki, like this wiki)
 * 3. If i make the site, can i take this background for my wiki?

Thanks for listening. 09:41, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * 1) Yes, you would have to pay for web hosting and a domain. 2) Once you have hosting with PHP and a MySQL database, all you have to do is install MediaWiki. 3) I'd prefer that you come up with your own variation of images. -- 09:59, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

Is there one without paying but powered by media wiki? 10:43, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * There are wiki farms, but I would only promote independent wikis. -- 10:56, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

Oh man, i don't want to pay it but i want that it's good. 10:57, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * If you manage to get Google advertisements on the Wiki, you will find no reason to pay as the advertisements will do it for you. I'm not sure how it works though, I just know it's possible. 15:39, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

Rollback status
Hi Porplemontage, I know it's not done this way, but I was hoping I could be privileged of having rollback status on this Wiki. I think I've been on long enough, and while there was a big gap in between my edits, it would still be nice to receive this. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask for Admin rights next, definitely not, but having this makes me feel I've got somewhere on MarioWiki. I hope you agree,


 * We don't have a rollbacker group; the closest thing is patroller. -- 20:43, 26 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Well, I would just like the lowest ranking membership after Autoconfirmed users. Thanks, 02:23, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I don't promote people. The bureaucrats promote the most talented users only when it's deemed necessary. -- 02:34, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Ok, I understand, thank you for your time anyways, 02:43, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

New Start
Hey Porple, i readed the MW:FAQ about how to be an admin. I'm not here to ask you admin or bureaucrat powers. That's not the point at all. Or an new account is neither the point. My point is, i saw my edits. MASS of USER edits. I want to make a new start, ALOT of more main and ALOT of LESS user edits. Can i restart? Because it's my dream to be an admin. (The words that are cappalized is ment as an importnant word.) 15:30, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * You don't need to ask anyone to restart... just do it. -- 16:30, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

P.S. you can add this on languages: http://supermariowiki.thegamewiki.com/wiki/Hoofdpagina. This is the dutch Mario Wiki. That soon will be cleared. 17:00, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I think it has to prove sustainable for a while and have a decent amount of articles. -- 17:15, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

Ok, i will ask it sooner again. 17:30, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

Hey, the work on the dutch wiki goes fast. It will be soon cleared. P.S. can i borrow some information from this wiki and translate it to dutch? And what whas the URL from the sidebar logo and notice. I wont copy but i want to change it of my wiki. 11:40, 28 August 2012 (EDT)


 * If you borrow info you have to provide a link back to the source. MediaWiki:Sidebar, MediaWiki:Sidebar-logo, MediaWiki:Sitenotice... -- 11:52, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

How do i add more groups? 15:48, 28 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I am not Wikkii; direct your technical questions to them. -- 16:10, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Revision deletion
Sorry to bother you–can you please hide the previous edit so that no one will get trapped? I heard from GreenD that the site described is full of viruses. -- 15:22, 29 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Sure. -- 15:25, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

Forum isn't working for me
I have tried many times but my activation email is never being sent


 * Ok, try logging-in now. -- 00:58, 9 September 2012 (EDT)

Change name
can you approve/disapprove my new name? --&#60;font color&#61;#62B1F6&#62;Spenzer66&#60;/font&#62; (talk) 17:51, 9 September 2012 (EDT)

Quick question
How come you don't have a high rank? You should, considering you CREATED THE ENTIRE WIKI and know a whole lot about it. LuigiBlubber


 * I thought I had all the good ranks. -- 01:24, 13 September 2012 (EDT)

Error in a video file
Hey Porple. I have recently uploaded File:WL4-Opening Cut-Scene.OGG. The file type is OGG's multimedia format, and it plays fine on my computer, but it seems to have an error when uploaded here. If you are familiar with video files, do you know what's wrong with it? Thanks.

04:48, 19 September 2012 (EDT)


 * OggHandler problem; it works now. Thanks for reporting this. -- 05:34, 19 September 2012 (EDT)


 * Cheers!


 * 05:43, 19 September 2012 (EDT)

100% Completion Page
My request is a 100% Completion page on this wiki. I want to request this page so that people can keep track of already completed aspects. Here's an example: 100% Completion NegetiveK00PA (talk) 19:08, 26 September 2012 (EDT)


 * On one hand it seems unofficial/arbitrary, but it may be useful for some people to have that info in one place. When I don't feel strongly either way, I tell people to ask around/do a proposal. -- 21:09, 26 September 2012 (EDT)

Question
Do you know how you can get like a higher rank on the Mario Wiki? I've heard there was Administrators on the wiki that do some special things.


 * Here you go. -- 15:36, 25 October 2012 (EDT)

Game Title Italicizing
Yeah, Porplemontage; just noticed that you created the template to italicize game names in main articles themselves. Since when did this come into play? Just curious about that so that I or others on staff don't "overrule" edits made using this template by mistake. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 02:05, 31 October 2012 (EDT)


 * Just today: Here and here. -- 02:09, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

Delete
I made a silly error while moving a page, and I got left with this redirect that needs deleting. Since you are online, can you please delete it now because I want to fix it all up today. Thanks in advance.

03:40, 13 November 2012 (EST)

Delete account
please delete the account and all informaion related to User:MarioMan30


 * I can delete your pages. Can't delete accounts because your edits are logged. -- 22:04, 20 November 2012 (EST)

Color loss
Hi. When re-uploading large images, I've noticed that sometimes the images lose it's color. A good example is where I reverted the Nintendo logo to a larger version, but once I had done so, the color was completely washed out. However, the full view of the image is perfectly fine. What's up with that? Please help because I tried to revert the Nintendo logo back to the smaller version, hoping that the color will return to normal, but it didn't.

04:01, 1 December 2012 (EST)


 * It looks like our newer version of ImageMagick is blending more of the white with the gray. For alternatives, this SVG file works and my latest, smaller file works. -- 04:39, 1 December 2012 (EST)

Okay, it's good that yours works But is it safe to revert it to the larger one? If not, I'm sure the smaller one will do for now.

04:41, 1 December 2012 (EST)


 * You know what, there was something about your version(s) of the image it didn't like. I uploaded a super-large new version and the color is fine. -- 04:49, 1 December 2012 (EST)

Cool, all sorted out. Have a merry Christmas!

04:59, 1 December 2012 (EST)

Forum account
Hey Porple. Ever since my username was moved from Resident Knife to Knife, I haven't been able to log in. I assume the password is that same for both usernames, yet the forum says that the password is incorrect. I tried recovering my password from my e-mail (although I'm pretty sure I know what the password is), but haven't received the e-mail yet. Bear in mind, I did this almost a week ago and nothing has shown up in my inbox.

What should I do to get access back to my account? I know the software won't let you see what my password is, but maybe we can first try moving the username back to Resident Knife and seeing if I have access from there. Thanks.-- 10:12, 1 December 2012 (EST)


 * A new password is emailed when the username is changed. I can manually change the password to something else and email it to you. Let me know where to send it or add an email address to your wiki account and I'll use the email user feature. -- 13:25, 1 December 2012 (EST)

Alright, I added an e-mail address to my wiki account. Send the password there, it should work.-- 11:17, 2 December 2012 (EST)


 * Make sure it's authenticated and you checked "Enable e-mail from other users" because you still don't have an email link. -- 14:42, 2 December 2012 (EST)

I tried authenticating it, but no e-mail either. I think my inbox hates this site for some reason. My e-mail is visible to me though, I just didn't know if you had the ability to see it as well. Anyway, I'll just go ahead and type out my e-mail here. I'm not concerned with keeping it private, so no worries.

Send your e-mail to omar8193@gmail.com. Thanks.-- 12:51, 3 December 2012 (EST)


 * Sent. -- 13:55, 3 December 2012 (EST)

Thanks, you're the best. I think I know what the problem was. When I changed my password, it required a password 8 characters or more. My old password had less characters than that, so maybe it's Simplemachine's way of forcing me to conform to the new character requirement and was enforced when my name was changed. Shows how old my account is...-- 11:51, 4 December 2012 (EST)

Hello Porplemontage
I have a suggestion. You can see the Wiki toolbar above the editing window in Wikipedia, right?

I know we have one like that.. but why don't you add more buttons like Wikipedia. are you agreed?


 * You know we could do that; I'll think about it. -- 15:41, 3 December 2012 (EST)
 * Should i post this idea in Proposals?


 * Ok. -- 04:55, 8 December 2012 (EST)

Wondering!
I'm wondering.. Is there a way to know whether the user is online or offline by their userpage? not using Special:Whosonline


 * No. -- 04:55, 8 December 2012 (EST)

Big problem
In the preferences: in Signature group box when I type  in the text box and press "Save" it is always changed to   and my signature page contains a lot of codes and SUBST template gets *ALL* this codes into the article. Can it be solved??


 * See Help:Signature. -- 04:38, 14 December 2012 (EST)
 * THANK YOU very much -- 04:55, 14 December 2012 (EST)

Problem!
What is the problem with this picture?

it always says "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters", what's wrong?


 * The image dimensions are too large. Image area cannot exceed 12.5 million pixels. Image Use Policy -- 14:23, 15 December 2012 (EST)
 * then why does this image File:Magnusvongrapple.jpg works well?
 * -- 14:47, 15 December 2012 (EST)


 * The limit may only apply to PNG's. -- 14:50, 15 December 2012 (EST)
 * INTERESTING.. i never knew that wikis are so COMPLICATED!!
 * -- 14:55, 15 December 2012 (EST)

Poll
Sorry to interrupt, but could you change the polls?


 * Why? -- 14:52, 15 December 2012 (EST)

It hasn't been changed in a week.


 * It's changed every two weeks. -- 16:54, 16 December 2012 (EST)

Oh sorry man..
Sorry Porple I reverted your move.. (List of Implied Characters)

but it created alot of double redirects so i didn't see who did that:(

I just want to warn you that List of Implied Entertainment did the same.. you should fix it or move it back. -- 13:55, 16 December 2012 (EST)


 * Fixed. -- 17:16, 16 December 2012 (EST)

About the recent changes
I've just noticed that edit times displayed in the Recent Changes are based on EST rather than GMT (at least they are on my computer; I'm not sure if the EST display shows up for everyone regardless of time zone). I was just curious as to whether that has or is intended to have any effect on proposals ending at times based on GMT.


 * EST is just the new default. You can change it back if you'd like; it doesn't affect proposals. -- 02:59, 24 December 2012 (EST)

Webchat
Hi again porple, there is something wrong with the webchat. When i go to the home page of the wiki, i press Wiki Chat, but there is a problem. The chat is too tiny. Earlier (few days), it was bigger, i liked that more. Could you please fix that? 17:13, 25 December 2012 (EST)


 * What browser are you using? Can you take a screenshot? -- 17:16, 25 December 2012 (EST)

I'm using Google Chrome. It was bigger a few days ago. 17:21, 25 December 2012 (EST)


 * What's your monitor resolution? -- 17:22, 25 December 2012 (EST)

You mean how big is my screen? 17:23, 25 December 2012 (EST)


 * I mean... this. -- 17:27, 25 December 2012 (EST)

Uhhh... i don't know actually. But another user also said it was smaller to him. So i don't think it's only to me. I think that's to everybody who goes to the chat via that way. 17:30, 25 December 2012 (EST)


 * A few people have come in lately with the same comment of chat being smaller. I went to look for myself and noticed the size of the window change as my page was loading:    and   .  My screen is 1440x900 and I was on Firefox.  17:37, 25 December 2012 (EST)

The height now adjusts based on your screen resolution and the chat was actually much larger for me. But I'm setting a minimum height of the old fixed height so it doesn't mess up on smaller resolutions. -- 17:41, 25 December 2012 (EST)

What's with the edit window?
Since you changed the toolbar i can't -- 15:28, 26 December 2012 (EST)
 * Undo or Redo
 * When pasting text from other windows it is copied with it's font(not the editing font)
 * I Used to press [alt + p] to preview the article but it is changed now. could you revert it back?


 * Special:Preferences - Uncheck the two "Beta features" and save. -- 16:15, 26 December 2012 (EST)
 * Didn't solve the problem.. but I solved it: It was the option under 'em which was "Enable navigable table of contents".
 * I thought that it must be enabled to show the TOC but Thanks anyway.. It isn't related to the "Beta features"
 * -- 07:17, 27 December 2012 (EST)

Wiki Spain
Could you do a Spanish wiki MediaWiki official mario? Could I be the leader of this wiki in Spanish?

--Mario12345678 (talk) 13:24, 30 December 2012 (EST)


 * No no.. I only do English. -- 13:40, 30 December 2012 (EST)

But I speak Spanish and could be the leader of a Spanish wiki--Mario12345678 (talk) 14:06, 30 December 2012 (EST)
 * If you want to be the leader of a wiki, create it yourself :D 15:01, 30 December 2012 (EST)

Okay, so I could pass the link to create a wiki in Spanish?--Mario12345678 (talk) 03:55, 31 December 2012 (EST)


 * -- 04:02, 31 December 2012 (EST)

Thanks, but do not understand MediaWiki so here I'll settle wikia, I can copy the information from the articles of the wiki?--Mario12345678 (talk) 10:52, 26 January 2013 (EST)


 * You can according to our license as long as you attribute us as the source. -- 13:13, 26 January 2013 (EST)

Bot
Hi. There's a current proposal which suggests that anonymous IPs will receive an automated notice which invites them to create an account after making 20 or more edits. Knife questioned if the proposed task was actually possible to be performed by a bot.

01:25, 31 December 2012 (EST)


 * I don't know how to do that; I think users would have to manually put it there. -- 02:14, 31 December 2012 (EST)

Usernames
Hello, Porplemontage,

I'm having difficulty coming up with a cool username. Your username is awesome in my opinion; very unique. I was wondering if you could possibly give me a few username ideas. I'd really appreciate it. 71.53.201.82 17:43, 9 January 2013 (EST)


 * All I could come up with is "Dripdash". -- 23:39, 9 January 2013 (EST)


 * Do you have anything more... Porplemontageish? 71.53.205.61 00:42, 13 January 2013 (EST)


 * No. -- 07:02, 13 January 2013 (EST)


 * Sorry for being picky, Steve. I appreciate the name idea you gave me. However, could you give me one more idea? 71.53.205.96 20:16, 19 January 2013 (EST)


 * Hey Dripdash, I don't got no more names. "Beggars can't be choosers!" -- 20:45, 19 January 2013 (EST)

Well, thanks for... trying....? 71.53.205.96 15:46, 20 January 2013 (EST)

Auto-Refresh
Could you add the auto-refresh feature to this wiki's Recent Changes. The Awesome  19:52, 9 January 2013 (EST)


 * ..yep -- 23:39, 9 January 2013 (EST)

Mario Kart 7
There once was a construction template on Mario Kart 7. I have an FA nomination about it, but everyone opposed because of the template. Now it's gone, but the opposers haven't noticed. If you could remove the opposes, I'd appreciate it.


 * I don't have a history of removing votes. Talk to the voters in question? -- 08:21, 13 January 2013 (EST)

Polls
Now can you change the poll? It's been 2 weeks.


 * The poll is changed by the poll committee, of which I am not a member. -- 13:20, 18 January 2013 (EST)

I see.

Amazing News!
Did you know that Nintendo announced that there will be a Mario Kart Wii U and a 3D Mario game (Wii U) game playable on E3 2013. There will also come a game where Yoshi is the protagonist. 11:20, 23 January 2013 (EST)


 * Yep, very cool news. -- 11:56, 23 January 2013 (EST)


 * Was there any point in writing that MM51.

I got banned from chat for no reason!
A guy who claimed I'm bothering him (I was not, he's just like, "Hey this guy is here and he's bothering me") and kicked my from the channel #mwchat. Anything you can do to help?

-- 17:51, 24 January 2013 (EST)

Just a question
How do you create an encyclopedia? I need help because I don't know how to create a wiki powered by MediaWiki. I'm sorry to bother you.--Prince Ludwig (talk) 23:43, 25 January 2013 (EST)


 * Just download and install MediaWiki to your server. -- 00:13, 26 January 2013 (EST)


 * Okay. Thanks man. :) --Prince Ludwig (talk) 00:15, 26 January 2013 (EST)

Uh, how exactly do we install MediaWiki? I am stuck there. o.O; --Prince Ludwig (talk) 08:28, 26 January 2013 (EST)


 * Maybe they can help you here. -- 13:13, 26 January 2013 (EST)

I checked everywhere, on YouTube, Google, that forum too. They still don't help. I downloaded the latest version and I don't know what to do with it. Please, tell me how you created your wiki, it'll be faster for me. Every details. I'm sorry if I'm asking too much, but I really need this. :( --Prince Ludwig (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2013 (EST)


 * The install link I gave has way more info than I could ever go into. Go here and select your operating system to get started. -- 13:41, 28 January 2013 (EST)

Sorry for being six days late. What would you recommand? Mac OS X perhaps? That'd be the first time I've ever used it. Oh, and I've seen in videos that they make their MediaWiki using Firefox, but they were hasty so I couldn't understand. Yeah, I have Firefox. What's next?--Prince Ludwig (talk) 08:48, 3 February 2013 (EST)


 * I recommend Linux; Ubuntu should be fine. Ubuntu, Windows, Mac. See how long those pages are? It would be impossible for me to explain it to you in more detail, so just follow those instructions. -- 15:34, 3 February 2013 (EST)

I recently checked these links now, the localhost links don't work on the Ubuntu and Mac OS X manuals. Windows had only one link that works. These links seem to be for installing the MediaWiki into the server. Right?--Prince Ludwig (talk) 12:57, 19 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Yeah. So just point the browser to wherever Apache (or whatever you're using) has the files. -- 13:06, 19 April 2013 (EDT)

Suggestion
Change the color of either Patrollers or Administrators on Who's Online? A colorblind person might not see the shade difference, it's not exactly huge... Goomba (talk · edits) 01:40, 21 February 2013 (EST)


 * Is it better now? Can't use red or blue, but if you have a better 4th color let me know. -- 04:29, 21 February 2013 (EST)


 * That looks perfect, actually. XD PaperGoomba.jpg Goomba (talk · edits) 04:40, 21 February 2013 (EST)

FA Nom
Can you forfeit one?


 * Why? -- 15:04, 21 February 2013 (EST)

There's one I'm 100% positive will fail. So can I remove it?


 * You know what you must do: oppose it. -- 15:28, 21 February 2013 (EST)

Question
Without counting every single one, how can you find the exact number of edits a person has? Is it a page or a template? Goomba (talk · edits) 03:45, 22 February 2013 (EST)


 * Special:Editcount -- 04:00, 22 February 2013 (EST)

New User
A very long time ago I made a user that got messed up and I forgot the details for. Can I make another acount please?


 * Well, the username is . I'd guess a few passwords first. -- 05:41, 28 February 2013 (EST)

Glitch
If you use this code:, the page "glitch up". This also happens with other codes, like or. You can fix that? YoshiFan1200 (talk) 21:36, 1 March 2013 (EST)


 * It appears to have been fixed? -- 22:31, 1 March 2013 (EST)


 * Yes, thanks. YoshiFan1200 (talk) 22:35, 1 March 2013 (EST)

New Feature
There is a proposal about adding the CategoryTree Extension, Tucayo asked me to ask you for your opinion. Do you agree?-- 13:01, 9 March 2013 (EST)


 * I don't think it's really needed. -- 13:04, 9 March 2013 (EST)
 * What about leaving it for other users? And leaving the proposal open. I don't think that because you don't think it is really needed means the same for everyone. I know you are the BOSS, but here we are!-- 09:52, 13 March 2013 (EDT)


 * That was a cost-benefit analysis for the site, not just me. Extensions can cause issues and must be supported, so they should to provide a significant benefit to the site to be considered for installation. Most people don't peruse categories, but even if you do, it's still possible without the extension—just slightly less convenient. With that said, your proposal will be added to the record and may be referenced in any future considerations of installing said extension. -- 10:43, 13 March 2013 (EDT)

Regional Differences
Can I list some regional differences for the Mario games that have them such as Title Screen differences, and text changes? Chaossy (talk) 08:53, 11 March 2013 (EDT)


 * That might be a good idea; I wonder what the rest of the community thinks. -- 09:18, 11 March 2013 (EDT)
 * I'll be using most of the stuff from here. Chaossy (talk)
 * Actually, me and Walkazo are already making a project for Regional Differences at the moment. ---
 * ...Doh I missed. Can I help you with the project? Chaossy (talk) 11:40, 11 March 2013 (EDT)

Featured Articles
Could you clean up the FA nom I just made? (I don't know how to.)

Never mind, I shouldn't ask u to do everything.


 * Thank you. -- 13:13, 13 March 2013 (EDT)

Question
In your opinion, what was the worst vandal attack in SMW history, and could you explain what happened? 16:48, 24 March 2013 (EDT)P.S.; no, I am not going to do it.


 * I don't remember vandals. -- 18:21, 24 March 2013 (EDT)

Home Page
On the MarioWiki homepage there is written: "If you see a mistake, don't mention it on the talk page, fix it!" But users and autoconfirmed users can't edit on all pages, like the home page. 09:45, 25 March 2013 (EDT)


 * Yeah, they better mention it on the talk page if they can't edit. -- 10:57, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Hi
You are Porplemontage, the creator of the Super Mario Wiki. How old are you?


 * I am Porplemontage, the creator of the Super Mario Wiki. I'm 22 years young, just kickin' it old-style. -- 17:39, 31 March 2013 (EDT)

I have a question
Porplemontage, What's your favorite Mario boss battle?

Sincerely,


 * I have fond memories of swinging the big guy by the tail. -- 17:38, 3 April 2013 (EDT)

Question for you
Here's the question. 76.22.61.64 13:12, 5 April 2013 (EDT)

Please help
Can you make a table for me, it is too difficult! Also, why is it always american names first? WHY!!?? The fluttering fire Paragoomba 16:01, 6 April 2013 (EDT)


 * No I can't make a table and Americans have names because most visitors are American therefore the names are "different" for the least number of people. Yes, we could make the names Portuguese but then most people would not understand. -- 16:06, 6 April 2013 (EDT)
 * Huh? Nobody respects me! :(

-- The fluttering fire Paragoomba 16:08, 6 April 2013 (EDT)

Sandbox work
I have done work for the main parts of the Mini Beast on the sandbox, should I put that work on the page instead?

The fluttering fire Paragoomba 03:17, 8 April 2013 (EDT)


 * The Mini Beast? I think we already have some stats on it. -- 09:13, 8 April 2013 (EDT)

Consideration
I was wondering if you ever considered to perhaps have a video game wiki as a part of NIWA. Just a suggestion to improve it. There is my Video Game Wiki here in case you're interested in making one. I thought it would be about time for a video game wiki with its own URL. 76.22.61.64 12:38, 10 April 2013 (EDT)


 * I like the idea, but I worry that there are too many well-established series wikis at this point for such a wiki to take-off. -- 13:57, 10 April 2013 (EDT)


 * It could alternatively be different from NIWA and instead be an ally like Wikisimpsons. 76.22.61.64 17:44, 10 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Yeah, sure. I don't run NIWA so you'd have to ask those guys. -- 18:15, 10 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Also, the video game wiki does mention all topics on video games itself. This means that it is a wiki focusing on all video games. This means that it has articles for the ZX Spectrum, Atari 5200. No unique URL-related wiki has that. Unique URLs mean sites like http://sitename.net instead of http://sitename.host.net . That's what I mean. It would be nice to have the video game wiki turned into an independent URL wiki. 76.22.61.64 21:18, 10 April 2013 (EDT)


 * So, would it be okay to have a video game wiki with a unique URL? 76.22.61.64 11:44, 11 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Sure, you don't need my permission to do it. NIWA as an organization doesn't create wikis; individuals create them and ask to join. So it would be up to you to create it. -- 13:08, 11 April 2013 (EDT)


 * So, how do I start? 76.22.61.64 18:51, 11 April 2013 (EDT)


 * -- 22:21, 11 April 2013 (EDT)


 * I hope you're okay with this, but I made a Mario Wiki of my own here. It's licensed under the GFDL 1.2, so feel free to take anything from there, but try not to take too much :). Anyway, I hope you're okay with another Mario Wiki made for the purpose of having a different style from this wiki. It does have the same name as EditThis.info's Mariopedia, but ShoutWiki is a more decent wiki farm. I was just checking if you were okay with this. 76.22.61.64 22:53, 18 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Ok. -- 23:06, 18 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Do you have any objections about this wiki? 76.22.61.64 20:19, 19 April 2013 (EDT)


 * No. -- 20:23, 19 April 2013 (EDT)

Question
Is it possible to embed my edit count table (in my user page)?-- 18:49, 10 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Nope, sorry. -- 19:10, 10 April 2013 (EDT)

question about funky
You know that Funky person, the M&A director for The 'Shroom? He is saying I sockpuppeted on the wiki/forum so he kicked me off the team (I don't recall sockpuppeting. Also, my IP address that starts with a 9 is a school IP address, but if the "sockpuppet" has my other IP address, that was indeed me). How come I am not blocked and how come I it still says I'm on The 'Shroom team? Was he mistaking or something. If he made a mistake, please tell him he did so. Thank you. -signed KoopaGuy ( Talk ) a.k.a. ShyTroopa or JohnRoberts- 14:19, 11 April 2013 (EDT)
 * You sockpuppetted on #mwchat. Our rules clearly state you have to behave properly all around the community, which you didn't. We already told you the decision was final. Should your behavior improve, you can re-apply in about three months. -- 16:05, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

It has been three months, hasn't it? Well that older thing isn't what I was originally wanting to do anyway. -signed KoopaGuy ( Talk ) a.k.a. ShyTroopa or JohnRoberts- 21:46, 7 July 2013 (EDT)

Proposal
Just wanted to know, if it passes, this is actually possible to do, right? 03:27, 15 April 2013 (EDT)


 * It's really not feasible. -- 04:21, 15 April 2013 (EDT)

An auto correct
I was thinking of making a proposal for auto correct to be introduced. Obviously, it would correct minor spelling mistakes and automatically put a capital letter at the start of a sentence, but I wanted to make sure that it was possible to do before making the proposal.


 * I don't think it is. -- 22:00, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

I am a bit sad
Ok, I renamed to Flamer on the forum, but I am not allowed rename to it. Red Boo


 * Your forum username has to match your wiki username. Your forum display name can be different. -- 22:00, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

Hello?
Hi, I'm new to this, but could you please take a look at 121.96.10.3's revisions to Super Mario Bros. 3? He/she is constantly vandalizing the article. :) GBAToad (talk) 05:28, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

Help
Terrorange and Go-Bee are ghosts of Luigi Mansion's Darkmoon. They might be deleted due to being a stub, but it isn't a stub and it's the same length as the ghosts page. Should it be deleted? Pokebub (talk) 20:40, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

Spam
Lately, several IP's have been spamming pages with random Russian words, this exact phrase (☭* CCCP) and sometimes even cussing out admins. Could you maybe rangeblock them? 20:18, 28 April 2013 (EDT) I'm sorry to intrude here, but Russians are swearing on our precious wiki? Yeah,that has to stop. User:C.G.4.U.

How do I resize a foreign image?
^Question. I need to know so the image in my sig isn't so big.

Block this IP
This IP named 67.184.60.235 keep saying that DIC Entertainment will be acquired by Disney. Can you block him? 14:40, 5 May 2013 (EDT)


 * Oh yeah. By the way, can you translate the video from Swedish to English. I need it by this afternoon.m 07:38, 6 May 2013 (EDT)

hi
you are..... omg.

I am new
Hey I am new and I am here to thank You for making this wiki!!!

~Goombob~

Ban
All the other admins for some reason don't want to ban me. Can you ban me? User:Ness

Glitchy article
The Tweeter article is glitching, and I don't know how to fix it, so could you give it a try? To be more detailed; a thumbnail refuses to work and when I try to edit the page, the top of it looks strange. 02:24, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

I thought I'd ask while your on
Eh, Steve! Just wondering; If you have a Wii, then have you ever had a problem with it not reading discs after the disc channel? Also, can I have your "thanks for making the wiki" userbox?

Mass uploading.
Is there a way for mass uploading files, I (mostly) upload multiple related files. I heard about extensions but I'm just asking you about it. -- 14:33, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

Help!
So yeah, I asked for you to change my username, but I suddenly can't log in because my password is incorrect. The problem is, my real email isn't entered in there, because I lacked an email at the time of joining. I can't get my password. Help please.

By the way, my real email is pyroguy66666@gmail.com. --Pyro 15:19, 23 June 2013 (EDT)


 * Ok, I put your real email in there. -- 15:23, 23 June 2013 (EDT)

New Bot
You could make bots, huh? Could you create a bot that
 * 1) Automatically Fix Double redirects.
 * 2) Automatically Delete File pages with no images (I mean those with Missing Files)
 * 3) Automatically Change File pages redirects to the File page itself (due to issue with that a link to the redirect of an image does not count as a usage for the image itself) Thanks-- 06:49, 27 June 2013 (EDT)

Ness is back.
I just realized that Ness had created another account called Antasma2. Can you block that account. That is his fourth sockpuppet account. 12:57, 27 June 2013 (EDT)

Protect Page
Can you protect Ludwig Von Koopa since it was vandalized too much? 11:53, 1 July 2013 (EDT)

Search?!
Can't I use the excluding character "-" in the search.. even if I use it.. it still shows the word I excluded.-- 18:31, 3 July 2013 (EDT)
 * never mind.. it worked now.-- 03:56, 4 July 2013 (EDT)

Extension:Loops
What do you think about this extension? It is a great extension (in my opinion), which could be used on our templates here and maybe others. I'm willing to make a proposal, If you agree of-course.-- 10:19, 7 July 2013 (EDT)


 * An extension needs a distinct reason to be installed to accomplish something important that can't really be done without it. -- 21:27, 7 July 2013 (EDT)

Player
If this proposal passed, could you use a bot to get rid of all links to it?-- 07:53, 13 July 2013 (EDT)


 * Yep. -- 08:20, 13 July 2013 (EDT)


 * The page has been deleted. May this bot please be used now or whenever it's convenient for you, thanks.


 * 11:46, 21 July 2013 (EDT)


 * PorpleBot is on the case. -- 15:24, 21 July 2013 (EDT)

Username change
Is it possible for the staff members to change the usernames of other users? - Holy user in a talk page! (talk) 13:34, 15 July 2013 (EDT)


 * Changing username -- 15:24, 21 July 2013 (EDT)

Unblock this IP address
190.92.15.37 did only 1 simple thing wrong and they block him for over 6 months. L151 blocked him. Can you unblock him? Sent to Porplemontage and the sender is: Mario Head.

Unprotect This Page
I'm Mario Head again. Can you unprotect the Super Mario 64 glitch list? This page has many mistakes and I have to fix mistakes and add more glitches I found in several videos. Unprotect the page to do all of this correctly.

IMPORTANT
Hey Porplemontage

You may know a user by the name of Driftmaster130(he was formerly known as MarioTime11). I would like to report this user to you because a while back, he was the user of a sockpuppet troll named AutomaticRobot123. I've been trying to tell all the admins for a while now, but whenever I go on the computer, Driftmaster130 turns the computer off(we live in the same house because he's my brother). Now I've finally gotten to tell you. I've also told Phoenix this information. Do what you must with this info about Driftmaster130

Thanks,

-- BOWSERWORLD2 IS AWESOME!!!!!! (Talk &middot; Edits 11:08, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

In that case, Bowserworld, why shouldn't the sockpuppet be yours? You use the same computer as him, are you not??? 14:20, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

A question
Could I have a default summary?-- 18:07, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
 * Never mind that, Anyway, could we have a Vector skin. In my days editing Wikipedia (under a different username, which I wouldn't like to share here), Editing trough the vecter skin is a lot faster, beside I got used to the Search box on the top-right things! Could you?-- 15:16, 30 July 2013 (EDT)


 * Vector will be here soon. -- 11:33, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Thanks from hearing me.-- 11:38, 5 August 2013 (EDT)

Hello
Hullo! I'm KingKamek. I was wondering, since your the creator of this awesome website, what is your favorite Mario game? Just wondering.

KingKamek


 * Super Mario 64. -- 11:33, 5 August 2013 (EDT)

Block this IP
174.96.97.249 has vandalized the bob-omb article. Please block him.

Maria came to be blocked
Did ya hear about it? I notified Turboo about it. So did N64dude and Megadardery. He was a major vandal.
 * I don't think Porple minds too much about vandals, and you're forgetting the user's who also fought him majorly.
 * He wasn't that major anyway, he just did a bunch of crap that is easily revertable. 20:06, 2 August 2013 (EDT)

Latest proposal
Mario7's Recently Proposal about the Category:Pages with broken file links second option passed. The second option was "Prevent userspace pages from being included in category". Please Either try to do it, or mark the proposal here with "Proposal passed, but is no longer enforced or applicable." yellow color. Thanks.-- 10:41, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Thanks, could you tell me how is it now?-- 10:57, 5 August 2013 (EDT)


 * There will just be a separate category for articles/galleries, Category:Articles with broken file links. -- 11:33, 5 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Excellent, thanks, but still not working the article Trick didn't appear, mostly I think this is a cache problem.-- 11:37, 5 August 2013 (EDT)


 * The category is added when a page is saved. -- 11:42, 5 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Why not an additional category for templates? Plus, is it very important to include userspace?.-- 11:47, 5 August 2013 (EDT)


 * If a template has a broken file link and is used in an article, the article will be added to the category. -- 11:59, 5 August 2013 (EDT)


 * YOu got a point!-- 12:02, 5 August 2013 (EDT)

Special:UncategorizedTemplates?
Could we have a special page like above? I think all templates should be categorized.-- 08:04, 14 August 2013 (EDT)

Password help
Hello Porplemontage, Coincollector is here. I forget the password to my account and the my E-Mail, could you help


 * You've got a weird sense of humor, Megadardery. -- 14:01, 15 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Haha! I'am the one who made all these troubles! good thing you find me NOW BLOCK ME --


 * Good stuff. But about that special page, it is a special page. -- 14:24, 15 August 2013 (EDT)


 * You do you know that wasn't Megadardey, right?


 * WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?-- 14:28, 15 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Probably that vandal who shares your IP is at it again. -- 14:29, 15 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Could I request a block for my IP address -- 14:36, 15 August 2013 (EDT)


 * You just need to cool off. -- 15:05, 15 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Could I ask, what troubles I will take from this event?.-- 15:10, 15 August 2013 (EDT)


 * No trouble; don't worry about it! -- 15:12, 15 August 2013 (EDT)

Private Sandbox/Workspace?
Hi, I was wondering where I could gather information together that couldn't be deleted by other users. Should I use my Talk page or my User page? Or is there somewhere else I could use? 13:35, 18 August 2013 (EDT)

I have found somewhere I can work so there is no need to reply if you don't want to. 14:08, 18 August 2013 (EDT)

Proposal
This recently passed proposal has not been acted upon yet, and I think that only you have the the power to do it (maybe admins can too?). Would you please do it? Thanks!

14:56, 19 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Look at the section above-- 18:15, 29 August 2013 (EDT)

Uploadtext
Could MediaWiki:Uploadtext be updated and something about the aboutfile template be appended in it..

Example: *The text that appeared below is the preloaded code of the Template, It contains five variables (five lines). It should either be formatted correctly, or removed before uploading. I think the most important part is the first line, as most newbies will click the template and read about it (but I'm not sure).
 * If you insert the information, be sure to replace the whole variable (but not the " " and the number) including the squared brackets, so " " becomes " ", not " ".
 * If you want to exclude a variable, be sure to remove the entire line, don't just leave it as it.

Thanks. Lakituthequick said that the text won't show up if the user has selected a different language than English, I decided to contact you because of that.-- 07:31, 30 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Ok. Don't worry about the language stuff. -- 14:13, 30 August 2013 (EDT)


 * Awesome work, thanks-- 14:31, 30 August 2013 (EDT)

Real Name
Is my real name (the one I set in preferences) visible by other users?-- 17:18, 1 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Yes. -- 17:23, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

Can't upload by URL
Since the update, I wasn't able to upload images by URL, could you tell me what's wrong?-- 14:19, 4 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Thanks.. fixed -- 14:28, 4 September 2013 (EDT)


 * YAY-- 14:31, 4 September 2013 (EDT)

Another Request please: could the MediaWiki:Common.js be updated so the default upload description only show if the file isn't being reuploaded: This can be done by changing: if (mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName') === 'Upload') to if (mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName') === 'Upload' && !document.getElementById ('wpForReUpload'))

Thanks-- 15:15, 4 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Thanks for the tip. -- 16:28, 4 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Also, I cannot see the thumbnails in the Special:Upload after selecting a file.. Did you mean that? or was that an accident? Thanks sorry to disturb you so much -- 09:36, 6 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Looking into it. -- 13:18, 6 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Thanks, it is working now. :)-- 08:27, 14 September 2013 (EDT)

While we still taking about uploading issues, just asking is the warning when uploading file similar in name with another file really necessary? (When File:Example.png with File:Example.jpg already exists) Because it is really interrupt me while uploading replacements-- 15:58, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

Is this a bug, or what?
I just looked at Special:Log/newusers to see that the account Sockpuppet was created 06:46, September 6, 2013 User account Sockpuppet (talk | contribs) was created. As soon as I looked at his account I saw this:

This user is currently blocked. The latest block log entry is provided below for reference:

I can't understand that-- 08:00, 6 September 2013 (EDT)


 * That username was a trap. Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey. -- 13:18, 6 September 2013 (EDT)

Question
Do you have a 3DS and New Leaf?--


 * I have a 3DS. Don't have New Leaf yet. -- 01:37, 8 September 2013 (EDT)
 * What's your friend code? Mine is 2638-0093-3000--
 * Added it to my userpage. -- 18:03, 12 September 2013 (EDT)

Great job
I would just like to say “Thanks” for starting the Mario Wiki. You are the best founder in the world. From the perfect Administrators to the perfect balance with the pages, you help the wiki be whole. Thanks!!!!!


 * No problemo. -- 18:03, 12 September 2013 (EDT)
