Here's a free Wario of the Day to cheer you up!



Oh wait... he's sad too from all the money, dignity, bad breath, and lives I took from him. Mama mia! 23:12, March 31, 2023 (EDT)

 * Thanks, Mario -- 11:34, April 1, 2023 (EDT)
 * You're welcome, "Brother of Anti-Mario Temporal Interval!". 13:46, April 1, 2023 (EDT)

Fw: Free Wario
Looks like I was given a free Wario meant for you, but I couldn't delete it, so all I could do was just forward it via fax. Good thing faxing is still a thing nowadays! Hopefully I didn't make any mistake and sent you TWO of them accidentally. 20:04, April 3, 2023 (EDT)
 * Also FYI that FW (forward) abbreviation being the same as the letters for "Free Wario" was not intended but now I see it and it's funny. 21:32, April 3, 2023 (EDT)

FYI...


Here's a free Waluigi derivative! Note the similar pointy mustache and similar romantic demeanor? 20:13, April 3, 2023 (EDT)

power-ups
Yoshi can be lost by taking damage, so if Yoshi isn't a power-up, the goomba's shoe isn't either. Goomba's shoe and Yoshi even replace each other based on game style. Pikachu210 (talk) 23:04, April 13, 2023 (EDT)

Age template
I had an idea to update the template, also I updated on Wikipedia a bit. I believe there are more users that born in 1999 than 1989 on this wiki. Which is better, 1972 at time of 1986, or 1999 at time of 2013? Whether the status quo is better? What do you think of changing to Charles Martinet at time of SM64 release date? 24 Since the template is protected and I can't edit right now. Windy (talk) 13:14, May 4, 2023 (EDT)
 * It's just an example, so there's not really a point to updating it. Anyway, it's primarily meant for the mainspace, so it doesn't really matter what the average age of our editors are. -- 14:45, May 4, 2023 (EDT)

Question
Hey, I was just going to ignore this, but this user is making backhanded comments about me and I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation. It started when they deleted a message off my talk page that I simply reverted as I want to respect that messages should not be removed from talk pages. I haven't been on much because of other commitments so I simply said on my user page I wasn't editing much. Now every time I made small edits such as in the gallery for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, []they []are []using edit summaries to call me out on this, when I feel I have not done anything pernsonal to them except ask politely to not remove messages from my talk page. Thanks for your time.

Sdman213 (talk) 11:46, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
 * I sent them a message about it to tell them to stop, if it continues please let me or another staff member know. -- 12:13, May 10, 2023 (EDT)


 * Will do, thank so much. Sdman213 (talk) 17:28, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

Question 2.0: Courtesy Continued
I will cease with the edit summary nonsense effective today. But can you let this user know for next time, if someone leaves a message on their talk page, not to be rude and answer them. It also provides assurance that a solution can be reached if there is a problem. I find it ironic that he will respond to other users talk pages but not me. Now that’s not courteous.😒 And I thought maybe someone with higher level experience hear this. 20:04, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
 * I have to be honest, I've looked into this (as have a few other admins) and I don't think Sdman has done anything wrong based on our policy. Users aren't required to respond to every message they get, and generally we'll only step in if it's impacting the quality of the wiki (i.e. a user continuing to break rules after being notified, or ignoring attempts to solve an editing dispute). I don't think that line has been crossed here. At most there's a handful of messages asking about reverted edits, but I checked up on those and they were already handled by clear edit summaries anyway. -- 12:13, May 11, 2023 (EDT)

Golf
I'll prelude this by saying the MK8 one wasn't mine and I agree it shouldn't have lost information (though I want to table it as well into something that actually has the required information...and I think the current gallery images are really poor tiny in-game crops, so the icons are probably the right way to go.). Anyways, I asked around several chats on Discord (as in, off-wiki people, so potential readers rather than editors... so, our demographic) which of our takes on the Mario Golf character tables worked better for them, and I got unanimous support on that front. Just wanted to let you know. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:37, May 31, 2023 (EDT)
 * The reason I redid that one was because someone on Discord complained about it going off the edge of their screen, with no option to scroll. Even as I was working on it though I wondered if it really needs a table since there's so little information there, though. That and the Strikers table aren't the only instances of these revisions not playing nice on smaller screens, by the way. (Yeah, I knew the MK8 one wasn't yours. I think those images did come from the official website, but icons are probably more consistent considering that's all we have for the DLC characters.) -- 18:11, May 31, 2023 (EDT)
 * Hmm, so if the table could be made to have an interior scroll on smaller screens, might that solve the issue while still not being.... overly blank? I have training in web design programming, I could pull it off. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:20, May 31, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Fanon content
Hi! In addition to your position as the Fake News Director, you can also open an upcoming Mario fanon wiki called "Fake News NOW". It will be a fanon counterpart of Super Mario Wiki, just like how Ukikipedia is a Super Mario 64 counterpart of the Super Mario Wiki. For example, the name of Fake News NOW's main page when opened will say "Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki", and the name of the page about the canon article focusing on Mario when opened will say "Mario - Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki". You can be the webmaster of Fake News NOW and hire Super Mario Wiki users to create their Fake News NOW accounts create fanon pages. Here's the URL for Fake News NOW:

Also, here's the interwiki link to Fake News NOW:

This manual on installing MediaWiki will help you set up Fake News NOW. Also, this manual about interwiki links will help you set up the interwiki link to Fake News NOW.

Would you like to download and install MediaWiki so you can set up the Fake News NOW wiki? -- 18:49, June 5, 2023 (EDT)
 * I'm not interested in running a wiki, sorry. -- 19:08, June 5, 2023 (EDT)
 * Not to worry. Maybe we can find somebody else who used to work on Fake News that might be interested in running a wiki. -- 19:21, June 5, 2023 (EDT)

Adding guidelines for my passed proposals
Hi! Now that my proposals about adding guidelines for archived pages and clarifying how to italicize merchandise titles have both passed, could you or another administrator please add the guidelines to Citations and Manual of Style, respectively? Admittedly, I feel like the merchandise title proposal could use some more discussion and more research into grammar rules on my part, but that'll have to wait per rule 7 of Proposals. 13:15, June 17, 2023 (EDT)
 * Done, let me know if there's anything that you think should be changed though. -- 14:32, June 17, 2023 (EDT)
 * The updates to MarioWiki:Manual of Style look perfect, but the only further change to MarioWiki:Citations I'd suggest is adding a note about how the date and time of a Wayback Machine capture can be determined from the archived page's URL, like I explained in my proposal. 17:31, June 17, 2023 (EDT)
 * Good catch, I added that in. -- 22:54, June 17, 2023 (EDT)
 * Everything looks good now, thanks for your help! 18:10, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

Post-Odyssey game
We don't need Super Mario Mirage for next year's April Fools Day on this wiki. Thanks. 36.85.216.131 01:00, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

Recurring Themes Infobox
How do I make an infobox template for recurring themes? I want to include a space for an audio clip, a picture of sheet music, the original composer, the first and latest appearances, etc. ToxicOJ (talk) 12:50, July 22, 2023 (EDT)
 * The easiest way to do it is to copy an existing infobox and replace the fields with the ones you want. -- 12:52, July 22, 2023 (EDT)

Clarification on this proposal
Hey, so Swallow notified me about that proposal from a while back that I wasn't aware of, and I'm confused about it. You can refer to our user pages to get up to speed (most of it is on Swallow's). Fair enough, many of those were quite old and outdated, but I still think some of the articles that used to have one of those templates don't really require much discussion to enact even now: some cases are either self-evident or policy-driven (i.e.recent/common). Glancing at your edit history, I'll just pick out a few that stand out to me, in my opinion: arrow wheel, Bowser Memory ML, CLEAR Block, Little Ogre, M-Token, Papa (disambiguation), Power Sneakers, spotted platform, Switch Block (Yoshi's Island series), Yoshi Island Spirits... However, Swallow tells me that, apparently, all of the articles that used to have those templates now require having discussions (re)opened. This is especially troublesome because I already moved spotted platform and "Switch Block" earlier due to the former being superseded and the latter's lack of better source, but those articles used to have a move template, so does that mean all that work will be unnecessarily undone? I interpret the proposal as intended to be more of an immediate clean-up rather than a super-strict rule since you used phrases like "some level of discretion," and genuinely, I don't think that part of the proposal was "set in stone" - was it something that came up at a different point? EDIT: I didn't see Swallow's most recent talk page comment until after posting, so it looks like there was a misunderstanding after all. Oh well. I guess the lesser points I've made at Swallow's talk page still stand, so as the proposer, I'm curious what you think regardless. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:11, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
