New Super Mario Bros. series
Seeing as there are now four New Super Mario Bros. games, should there be a page for the subseries? Pokemega32 06:56, 8 June 2012 (EDT)
 * We should, seeing as that we have series articles for the Mario Baseball and Mario Strikers series, despite both of them currently only have two games in the series. GreenDisaster 07:25, 8 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Apples and oranges. The NSMB series is an extension of the core Super Mario platformer series: split it out and you have to split out the original SMB series, figure out what to do with SMW and SM3DL, and decide whether to include SMG and SMG2 in with the direct-sequel-less 3D platformers or give it its own subseries (and if you include remakes, SMA and SMAS would need addressing too). It's a very slippery slope. By comparison, even if there's only two of each, the Baseball and Strikers titles are completely unique from any other sports title. The only way you could not have them exist as series is by collapsing all the sports games into one mega subseries, but given the number of Tennis and Golf games, that would make organization an inefficient mess. Another thing to consider is that once you have series pages, that means rearranging the Histories too, which would be a huge undertaking, and would necessitate moving a lot of the core series info way far down the Histories. Seeing as these games are the backbone of Mario franchise as a whole, keeping them together, as high as possible on the pages, makes far more sense. Reorganizing Super Mario (series) to lump the different Super Mario branches might be a good idea, however, as long as there's still a bullet-point list at the top showing the straight chronological order of all of 'em, or something like that. - 20:47, 8 June 2012 (EDT)

I am not sure, because the series is only 4 games, and it is part of the Super Mario series, like many other games. So we can, but we should make one for each subseries. User: Owen422

Concerning the trivia section.
"Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! (pictured) is the first game in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series which Pauline is giving a voice."

Not only is this grammatically incorrect, it's also wrong. When Donkey Kong '94 was played on Super Game Boy, Pauline's cries of "help!" could be heard in a digitized voice. It doesn't work on emulators, but I recall seeing a video of it some time ago which I can't seem to find again. So if someone else could provide proof, that would be much appreciate it. - SiFi 07:25, 16 June 2012 (EDT)


 * While she does speak in DK94 (here's proof), the Trivia's about the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, and DK94 is more of a precursor to the series, so it's not actually wrong. (But the grammar has been fixed.) - 18:55, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

Organization of Games?
I'll like to know how are the games in character articles are organized? Like are they organized alphabetically or chronologically or something else?
 * History sections are chronological, but grouped by series; if there's a stand-alone game or if only one game in a series appears, don't bother with a series sub-header. Templates are supposed to be purely chronological, with any series-wide template being placed at the point in which the series first appears. Categories are alphabetical. Non-game-based templates and categories go before the game-based templates and categories, except for merchandise-based categories, which go at the very bottom. Here's a (hypothetical) comparison chart:


 * All this applies to all types of appearances, not just games: in other words, movies, comics, books and TV shows would all be mixed in with the games in the Histories, templates and categories. And just in case you're wondering, cameos go at the bottoms of History pages (under an overall "Cameos" subheader), and a "Background" section is sometimes included at the top, i.e. for characters that had history as babies (such as Bowser, who also has a "Cameos" section, by the way), or one-off characters who have backstory set before their game starts (like the Shadow Queen). There can even be a "Creation"/"Creation and Development" section placed before the History section, which covers the characters Real Life history; Luigi has an example of this sort of section. Finally, for the record, the polices themselves can be found here for the Histories, here for the Templates, and here for the Categories. -  20:59, 19 June 2012 (EDT)


 * But wait! What about {Mario Party Characters}?
 * I didn't use Mario Party in my example, so that's not applicable. It also wouldn't be a proper template if it even existed: templates should be about everything in a game, not just one aspect, and templates about one aspect across an entire series are also highly dissuaded (I just included a "MK Series Characters" template in my example to show how the odd acceptable series-wide template would be placed). - 20:53, 30 June 2012 (EDT)

False trivia
Henry Ford did not create the automobile; that machine was first created by German engineers in the mid 1870s. It should be noted that Henry's name is based on the misconception that the car was invented by Henry Ford.  BNK [ E 23:34, 14 July 2012 (EDT)

it should be mentioned
I realized that nowhere mentions that Donkey Kong is a reference to King Kong.

also in the original Donkey Kong game, the ape kidnaps pauline and takes her to the top of a building (which is under construction), similar to how king kong did


 * Actually, the storyline of Donkey Kong was originally based off of Popeye. King Kong's influence was mostly an afterthought.--Vommack (talk) 19:25, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

NIWA Check in request
Hello, I'm dkpat from Golden Sun Universe/NIWA. I recently made a thread on the NIWA forums that requests that an admin from each wiki "check-in" and give an update on their wiki activity. I would appreciate it if someone from SMW could check in. Thank you. Link Dkpat (talk) 14:37, 25 October 2012 (EDT)

Signature Creation Page: PROBLEM
Okay, so I had problems with the /sig and /Sig pages before. But I just found out why many signatures go wrong.

When you go to this page: http://www.mariowiki.com/Help:Signature there is a problem. Under the "Preparing for Usage" section, there should be a second } at the end of the "quote" thing. This should be changed!

Pullblox / Pushmo info
Should information be created on this eShop exclusive. It features many puzzles based on Mario characters including Mario himself. If it abides under MarioWiki policies, I'll go ahead and make it myself. Thanks, 15:17, 13 November 2012 (EST)
 * So it's kinda like Art Style: PiCTOBiTS for DSiWare? We have a page on that (and Tetris DS), so we should have a page on this too (but not full coverage since it's not a full crossover: just an article for the game itself, not on the characters and other non-Mario stuff). - 12:27, 17 November 2012 (EST)
 * No no we won't go into detail. Basically some puzzles are based on retro Mario enemies and characters. I'll go ahead and make the article then. Thanks for answering, 13:59, 17 November 2012 (EST)

Change the Paper Mario fact!
Since both Spiky and Spiny Tromps appear in the new Mario game, the fact that shows which Paper Mario characters appear in 3D games should be changed to add them. --Spookum (talk) 21:14, 19 November 2012 (EST)
 * Ummm... neither of them appear in 3D Games, but i see how that might be true. Spiky must be Lakilester, since when you battle him he's known as Spiky. Both of them re-appear in Super Paper Mario, but only when Mario flips. But that also means every enemy that was remade into SPM must be 3D. Keep in mind that they still have 2D sprites. This is controversial, so whoever reads this should post a comment.[[Image:Tweester.gif]] It's Meester Tweester! 05:58, 19 November 2012 (EST)
 * He's referring to the fact that Spiky Tromps and Spiny Tromps, which were originally Paper Mario series exclusive enemies, have made their debut in a traditional Mario platformer. Also, Spookum, please don't forget to sign your comments. --

I don't have an opinion (I'd personally rather get rid of the polls entirely, but I assume that's an unpopular opinion), but this probably shouldn't be a talk page proposal. Don't be surprised if you're asked to move this to the main proposals page. -- 1337star (Mailbox SP) 13:11, 19 December 2012 (EST)

As the Poll Chairperson, let me say that the way our system works is that we use one week to nominate polls, and the second week to vote on them. It's a system that puts less strain on us, and gives more readers a chance to vote. I'd rather we not change this. Crocodile Dippy (talk) 17:22, 19 December 2012 (EST)


 * Yeah, no, this is not what TPPs are for, so I closed it (it was also formatted wrong, fyi: the deadline should've been after two weeks, not one, and this wasn't listed on Proposals). You could make a proposal instead, but I don't recommend it either: just let the folks in charge of the polls run it the way that works for them. - 19:24, 19 December 2012 (EST)

I think a mailbag would be a good idea. Now before you respond, read this. First, I don't know if there already is a mailbag here, because I don't keep up to date with all the features of this site, I just read the wiki. If a mailbag is started I would like to be a responder. I googled for a Mario mailbag but all I found was the SMBHQ one, that hasn't been active for years, and the TMK one, which not only hasn't been active since December, but is also a little too strange for my tastes. (I don't really like or look at TMK anyway.) I just want to be a mailbag responder on some kind of Mario mailbag, so I looked here first. Kelton2: Your neighborhood wiki helper.

Super Mario Flash Games
Hi Mariowiki staff and members,

I crated various Flash Game sites (publishing Flash Games) and my newest one is dedicated to Mario on the site Jogos-Mario.org. My question: I found for many other games sites to pull Mario Flash games automatically via a feed, however for Mario I can't find it. I see there are some Gambe distribution sites which have some Mario Games on it, but not organized that well. Do you know of any good sites for that?

Much appreciated

Mike

Origin
Wait a minute, hold everything for just 1 second. Is it just me or do all these Mario series games somehow seem to be a little bit Japanese?

 * Nintendo was founded in Japan, and some of the most important key people in Nintendo are Japanese. There are two headquarters in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Trivia, Luigi
Is there a source for that point as I can't find it on either the Shellcreeper article or in Luigi's Creation/Development on his article and when I read I do smell a strong 'not true' smell.

Japanese Names
Why do we use Katakana instead of Hiragana for the Japanese names of characters and enemies? I'm a bit curious. Binarystep (talk) 13:42, 1 August 2013 (EDT)
 * Because that's how Nintendo of Japan named them. As for why they did it, it's probably for the same reason anime, manga and other video game characters, items and species (like all the Pokémon) do it - which boils down to emphasis and branding stuff, as far as I know. Lots of the names are also onomatopoeia (like "Nokonoko" and "Patapata") or derived from non-Japanese words (i.e. "Mario", "Yellow Star" and even "Kuppa"), which are the other main uses of katakana. - 19:04, 1 August 2013 (EDT)

We're not Wikipedia, but Wikipedia may have a good reason for why users are allowed to remove warnings as well, especially generally good-faith users removing them. 01:26, 13 December 2013 (EST)
 * No. Warnings serve as a permanent record. Have you heard the saying, "China and reputation are easily shattered and never well mended"? Besides, what's happened in the past shouldn't matter what has happened in the present; if the user has redeeming himself after getting the warning, he has really no fear of getting another warning. To get a warning like this anyway, you'd be breaking the rules, something I think is deserved for acting before you think. Warning templates make it easier for us to keep track of users who are bad, and it also keeps track of their infractions which could lead them to a ban. If a user feels like a warning is undeserved, they may appeal it to remove any time. 01:34, 13 December 2013 (EST)
 * Have you ever heard of the term "scarlet letter"? Warnings are meant to be... well, warnings, not branding users as misbehaving people for others to see. Restoring comments may lead to counterproductive edit wars. A better way to see how a user is going is through contributions, history pages, and block logs rather than talk pages. If people attempt to remove older warnings and reminders, especially after the issue is rested, restoring these warnings and reminders can respawn the problem. Appealing warnings does not remove them, as it leaves a blemish behind, showing where the warning previously was. 02:02, 13 December 2013 (EST)
 * It depends on how you perceive it. Warnings are not intended to be scarlet letters. Rather, they're supposed to give users insight on what they had done wrong. Allowing them to remove warnings at will because it looks humiliating is petty. Besides, if the user decides to reform, this thing will become a relic of the past. If you really don't like it on your talk page, you can always archive it. Focus on the present and learn from your mistakes from the past. That's what the warning is supposed to be for. If you look at it another way, that's another way of saying that you take it too personally. People who assign this usually have nothing against you. Rather, they're just trying to help out by letting you know what you did wrong. If it's humiliating, I think you're just internalizing it rather than the issuer's true intentions. 02:13, 13 December 2013 (EST)
 * Warnings are still treated like scarlet letters; scarlet letters are counterproductive and are often not worth it; also, removing warnings indicates that users have read the warning and understood what happened. Remember, we should assume good faith, not that the user removed it because they are ignoring it or they want to hide it. If users have stopped their distributive behavior and removed their warning, why should the warning be restored? They should not be permanent records. In fact, old warnings become irrelevant, so I don't see why those need to be kept anyway. They can be on archives, but they're still there and can be a painful reminder for some users. I think warnings being treated as permanent records can scare and intimidate new users, especially those that get warnings early.
 * By no means am I supporting vandals remove warnings at will. I do, however, want to consider the new users and users that haven't disruptive for years since the last disruption. Once the mistake is learned and corrected, we don't have to leave it as a mark. 02:24, 13 December 2013 (EST)
 * I don't see any evidence of warnings being treated like scarlet letters, nor do I see how they are counter-productive. Usually, major infractions constitute a warning, and often these infractions are the ones counter-productive to the wiki, rather than the warning itself. Usually, minor infractions come with an informal reminder, then a reminder, then a warning. If the user still doesn't get the clue about what he is doing wrong, we have no choice but to enforce our policies. The warning is there to enforce our policies so less counter-productive activities will take place. Usually, bad editors are the ones who remove the warning template. Anyway, new editors should probably read our policy pages before taking action, just to know how it's like around here. Again, new users are susceptible to act, uh, nooby at times, and that's ok - we guide them and give them friendly, informal reminders. Warnings, however, are pretty severe actions compared to these. The warning is considered a permanent record. Just like your suspension or something. It won't get removed any time, and I don't see any benefit of removing it other than some deeply personal issue about it being "humiliating", which wasn't the warning's intention in the first place. You're still missing out on "focus on the present and learn from the past" from my comments. 02:37, 13 December 2013 (EST)

New Article?
I am wondering, should we have a "List of differences between PAL and North America Region content"? Or does something like that already exist?
 * Other than names, most games have little differences between. The only game I know that had significant differences is Luigi's Mansion 20:36, 22 December 2013 (EST)
 * See Version Differences. Ideally, most game should have these sections (unless they were only released once in one language in one region, I suppose). The example section to base future efforts on would be this one, about Super Mario World. - 00:51, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Coming to a close?
Listen guys, YOL will continue next year. Someone needs to get rid of the "YOL is coming to a close" part of the Main Page. (talk) 23:47, 25 December 2013 (EST)
 * Just call it "Year of Luigi". I hate being reminded of YOLO (and the phrase is grammatically incorrect as well, but whatever). 01:04, 26 December 2013 (EST)


 * "There are some Year of Luigi activities that will continue into 2014" - the activities will continue, but the "Year of Luigi" itself (2013) is still coming to a close. -- 01:08, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Ads
Can we do what Bulbapedia does and block bad ads?

I don't know if it is possible but I do know for sure that after a certain amount of edits the ads become hidden. I don't use any ad blocker on the Internet and when I am logged in no ads show up at all. I could be wrong though, I am not familiar how it is worked out. Also if you have Google Chrome you can go to extensions and get the AdBlock extension for free. 14:09, 29 December 2013 (EST)
 * If you have Firefox, you can get AdBlock Plus, which is actually what YoshiGo99 just mentioned. 15:33, 29 December 2013 (EST)
 * Ads are necessary for the upkeep of the wiki: they generate revenue needed to host this. If you have an issue with this, I suggest you contact, since he owns and operates the server here 15:36, 29 December 2013 (EST)
 * If ads really bother you, get Adblock Plus 2.4 for Firefox. If you use anything else I don't know how to help you. YoshiAwsumness (talk) 22:34, 30 December 2013 (EST)

kirby wiki
are any of you on wikirby because they do not have a page about kirby: triple deluxe. ( the new game)


 * Well, I am, but I'm inactive. WiKirby is a very slow, inactive wiki at the time of this writing. It will eventually get its own page. 20:28, 1 January 2014 (EST)

Userpage making?
I'm sorry if this sounds dumb but I cant seem to make my userpage when I go over my username it says alt-shift but I dont know what that means can someone please help

In order to make your userpage, you must be autoconfirmed. The alt-shift thing is just a hotkey for your userpage.

Okay but how do I get autoconfirmed.

Four days and five edits. Also, in order to make any page, including your sig, you must be autoconfirmed. Then you can create those pages.

Thank you for your help,I didn't think anyone would answer me!

Don't worry, there is always somebody active at Mariowiki!

Did You Know
When looking at the Did You Know section of the Maintain This Page at the bottom of the Main Page, it said the facts should be from this week's new articles. Could someone clarify that for me? (I have a new fact idea.) DoubleDoubleJ (talk) 15:54, 2 January 2014 (EST)


 * Hm, that is a bit unclear. I think it just means that every week, four new articles should provide the four new points (rather than mining the same pages over and over for factoids). - 19:29, 2 January 2014 (EST)

Come on, people!
Who the heck had the idea of extending autoblocks to 1 WEEK rather than 1 day? That's ridiculous, and it probably is hurting people in the long run! The Chain Chomp (talk) 18:46, 14 January 2014 (EST)

Also, blocks for IP's lasting 6 months are TOO long because it says on the policy that IP's should be blocked AT MOST for a few months! I wouldn't call 6 months "a few!" The Chain Chomp (talk) 18:47, 14 January 2014 (EST)


 * The admins have the final say on such matters. Sometimes, it's necessary to block an IP for longer than usual, usually when dealing with persistent vandals. We won't simply block an IP for six months right off the bat.


 * 18:50, 14 January 2014 (EST)

Well, I saw a few IP addresses that were blocked for 6 months and had no history of being blocked and weren't connected to any persistent vandals, like the one that wrote "hi" on your talkpage. The Chain Chomp (talk) 18:52, 14 January 2014 (EST)


 * That one was probably a sockpuppet of some other IP who always vandalizes.


 * The admins have "checkuser" rights, where they can see if an IP matches with any editing users, and vice versa. I assume that the reason for the block was taken from there.

April Fools!
Time for April Fools Day 2014!

For April Fools Day, we need to have fake news (presumably good news that will get excitement) with links to pages that would be created, fake or bad trivia, bad poll, and a fake featured article. Please post some ideas below that can be used tomorrow! 18:39, 31 March 2014 (EDT)

I KNOW!: HOW ABOUT TWO CANCELLED MARIO GAMES BASED OF THE DIC TV SHOWS: JUST LIKE THE STORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF SONIC XTREME WENT:

THE STORY BEGINS IN NOA WHEN A FRENCH DEV TEAM WANTS TO MAKE AND USE NINTENDO'S CHARACTERS TO BEAT SEGA'S SONIC CHAR. KING KOOPA'S KOOL GAME WAS A SEGA GENESIS GAME THAT WAS IN THE WORKS VERY SHORTLY AND SHOWN IN NP MAG 93'/2/19, IT SHOWED BOWSER GOING IN A CITY TURNING PEOPLE OF HOLLYWOOD TO KOOPAS OF KOOPAWOOD IT WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE IT WAS ON SEGA'S CONSOLE. WHY? BOWSER HATES MARIO AND SONIC HATES MARIO, THIS WAS BAD CHEMISTERY.

THE NEXT GAME AND FINAL ONE WAS MARIO ALL STARS. NOT THE GAME, BUT BASED OFF THE COMPILATION MARIO TV SERIES. THE GAME FOCUSES ON THE 4 PLAYER TECHNIC THE PLAYERS CONTROL MARIO,LUIGI, TOAD THE PRINCESS AND YOSHI. IT WAS SHOWN AT NINTENDO'S 1993 CHAMPION TOURS AS A PLAYABLE DEMO WITH A STANGE ADAPTER FOR 4 PLAYERS ON SNES SMILAR TO THE NES SATELLITE. IN 1994, THE GAME HAD A FULL ON DEMO TO BRING HOME IT WAS ONLY AVILABLE IN LATIN AMERICA,BRAZIL,FRANCE AND KOREA IT WAS IN THE NINTENDO MAG THEY HAD IN THERE COUNTRY. IN 1995 THE GAME WAS 75% OF COMPLETION AND WAS TIMED OUT OF MAKING THE GAME NINTENDO WAS IMPRESSED AND CANCELLED IT FOR DELAY LIMTATIONS.

THE LAST CANNED GAME WAS SUPER MARIO FX THE GAME WE KNOW NOT MUCH ABOUT BUT EXISTS IN HE DEV OF NINTENDO JAPAN THE GAME USED THE GAMES STYLE AND ENGINE FOR GAMEPLAY WITHIN 1995 AND 1996. THEN THE MOMENT CAME THE GAME WAS MOVED TO THE N64. THE CASTLE STILL EXISTS IN THE GAME WREAKING CREW 96' AS A LOST SPRITE FROM THIS GAME BUT MODDED FOR LATEST LOOK.

THANK YOU. MARIOFAN900.
 * Sorry, I don't think we're having April Fool's Day now :/ 23:51, 31 March 2014 (EDT)

wpUploadDescription - How to edit?
Not exactly a technical issue here, but this has been boggling me for quite some time. I own another wiki - Entirely separate from anything to do with Mario, or Nintendo in general. More or less, I'd like to know: How did you (MarioWiki) manage to assign custom text to wpUploadDescription from within the uploads page? The one that adds Template:aboutfile. I'm looking to do something similar, so that users may give proper attribution when uploading. How exactly, and where did you modify the wpUploadDescription class? --SM64DSMK (talk) 13:29, 10 May 2014 (EDT)
 * Talk to about it.  13:43, 10 May 2014 (EDT)

Sometimes the proposal page directs me to a random section after editing.

Broken link
In the proposal page I make a comment on a proposal and I was directed to another comment section (before it)... what happens?
 * Simply because you edit a section named "Oppose", when you click save, your browser takes you to the section named "Oppose", since there may be a proposal before the one you are editing that have another Oppose section, your browser takes you to that section (i.e if you edited the third proposal's oppose section and saved, you will go to the first proposal's oppose section.)-- 12:38, 20 June 2014 (EDT)

Is this possible ?

 * I meant that game exists, its a Mario game but is not made by Nintendo, but by normal users. -Nsmbufan (talk) 16:49, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

 * If you mean images in articles, this help page should address your issue. If it does not, let me know. 22:45, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

Thanks! You will be added to the user list! See my profile.

And' I still don't get it. Help if you can.

If you want a file to be smaller, you need to put the amount of px in it down. If you want the size to be 100px then it should like

Images/Personal images.
How do you upload images' and how do you make personal images for your user page?
 * See Personal Images for personal images, and Special:Upload to upload an image. Note that you are limited to four images maximum, plus only one additional for your signature.-- 13:02, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

I still don't get it.
 * What step are you stuck in, exactly? 15:14, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

I want the steps for uploading images and personal images.


 * To upload images
 * See the leftmost column?
 * Underneath "tools", click on Upload file.
 * (recommended) Read what's allowed and what's not allowed.
 * Where "source filename" is, click on the big gray "Browse" button.
 * Find the image you have to upload (.jpg, .png usually, check the permitted file types)
 * Check if the destination file name is correct.
 * In the edit summary, fill in the 1= part. You can simply remove the other parts.
 * Add
 * Select the licensing.
 * Upload.
 * Once the image is uploaded, put the name of the file (File:Image.png) in between brackets . Additional information is found in the upload page.

If you have questions, especially about the aboutfile or licensing part, ask me if you can. 15:48, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

Can you please upload the image:Bowser Card?
 * I don't know what the image is. If it's stored in the computer, you can upload it, and I can do the rest formatting. 16:48, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

I don't get the aboutfile part.
 * Just change the variables that are in it to relevant stuff, Subject of the image should be what the image is about, Source is where you found the image, Artist is who made the image, Edited is whether there where any changes made to the image, Other Versions is for alternate versions of that image, say like it's missing some shadow or something.
 * A bit late, but you can also delete the variables except for the first one so the others won't display. 15:35, 28 July 2014 (EDT)

Plush images.
Am I allowed to upload plush images?
 * Yes you can. We even have an article of plushies. 16:49, 24 July 2014 (EDT)

Real life personal images.
Can I upload a personal image that shows real life stuff? Example:my dog.
 * As stated here, the only Personal Images you can't upload are ones with nudity, blood or violence. So a picture of your dog is perfectly fine. - 11:14, 28 July 2014 (EDT)

Fanon articles for user pages.
I know I ask a lot of questions' but I'm new. Anyway' can you make a user page with fanon games? Example: user:Joseph/Mario & luigi:(name)
 * No. As per policy all user subpages must serve the wiki and seeing as we don't cover fan content it won't serve the wiki.

But can I put it on here?
 * You are not allowed to have "works of fiction" by policy, though, but that's a pretty vague statement. I think fanon games fall under that statement, but if you're doubting anything, it's safe to not do it. Also, if you want to ask some more questions, try the FAQ talk page. :) 15:26, 28 July 2014 (EDT)

Gif images
How do you make gif (animated) images?
 * That's a bit out of scope for this wiki but I'll tell what you need: a dedicated image editor (GIMP or something, NOT MS Paint), layers for separate frames, and exporting the .gif as an animation. That's basically how you do it in a nutshell. I'd go more into detail but I'm mighty busy right now. You can drop a message on my talk page and I can tell you...at least I hope you understand. 15:47, 29 July 2014 (EDT)
 * BTW if you're making gifs from videos, a gif capturing software is better suited since it's much less time consuming than doing it frame by frame 15:50, 29 July 2014 (EDT)

Deleting images.
How do you delete an image?
 * You can't unless you are granted tools by the will of "administrators" (bureaucrats, the people in purple slobber in the recent changes). To flag it for deletion, however, add in the image page.
 * As I said, it's better to use the official FAQ talk page to ask common questions instead of here, but if you have no response, try contacting experienced users instead. 21:14, 29 July 2014 (EDT)

Redirects.
How do you make redirects?
 * #redirectPage
 * Say for instance, you want to redirect Fat Plumber Dude to Mario. You'd create an article called Fat Plumber Dude, and this would be its contents:
 * #redirectMario
 * As I said, this isn't the place to ask general questions. I've said this the third time.
 * 23:35, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

I put a question where you said' please answer.


 * Try learning by example by simply exploring, editing and copying what you find, rather than incessantly asking us to spoonfeed you every last simple little thing. Sorry, but it is getting tiresome. - 18:41, 9 August 2014 (EDT)

Possibily add
Now that we have the rumors page, do you think its link could be added at the main page?
 * It's not that important. - 15:02, 17 August 2014 (EDT)

How do you sign up for the 'Shroom?

Did you know
Uh.... Mario Kart DS says what console it's for too. Someone please add.


 * It may use that generic system of naming like most games but that point refers to games that use the full title of the console in their name, which in that case would be "Nintendo DS", not just "DS"


 * -Toa 95 (talk)

Mario Kart DS is on the front page of the Wiki under Did You Know? as games with consoles in their name anyway, if that is what you are referring to. By the way, I agree with Toa 95; the front page should be changed. Andymii (talk) 16:47, 7 January 2015 (EST)

'Shroom front page minor error
Of the home page of the wiki, the link to the 'Shroom says the next issue is on December 20th, 2014, a date that is obviously passed. This is a minor error, but still an error nonetheless, so someone should change it. Andymii (talk) 16:44, 7 January 2015 (EST)

On the Did you know? section, in the Paper mario part it says "a occurs glitch" instead of "a glitch occurs". Can somebody fix that? Thanks. 09:57, 10 January 2015 (EST)

I am not an admin, but it does appear to be fixed by now. Andymii (talk) 16:38, 10 January 2015 (EST)

Oh, it just got fixed. Okay then. 17:10, 10 January 2015 (EST)

Club Nintendo shutdown date
The News section currently says that Club Nintendo "will be discontinued in all regions on September 30, 2015". This is incorrect. On its official site, the North American Club says "Club Nintendo program shuts down at 11:59pm PT on 6/30/2015." --Steve470 (talk) 06:25, 20 January 2015 (EST)
