The hand thing
??? and "Hand" are explicitly the same character. Note the source they use to give "Hand" its name. "Many characters from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask appear in Labrynna, and the hand in the toilet is one of them." Note that this is in lowercase and explicitly identified as the same character. So by Zeldawiki's standards, they must be different, particularly as they cite Hyrule Encyclopedia (which has the exact same situation SMBE had for us, they just refuse to acknowledge that). As for "Phoeni," that's a PRIMA name for a character that in the game itself was called ???. They were split three days ago by an admin. Anyways, I'm just going to consider this the ultimate proof that Zeldawiki is broken beyond repair. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:21, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

I messed up again :/
Hi Alex, sorry to bother you. I've been trying to upload some pictures from the DK Wiki on to the site and I keep on messing up. I want to thank you for fixing my Tomato pic. As you can probably tell I have no idea what I'm doing. I thought I had it figured out, but then I made the same mistake with these two files:

https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Ghost_Book.png

https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Klam.png

So I was wondering if you could fix them for me and let me know what I'm doing wrong so I don't have to keep on asking you for help.

Thank you, EDShoot (talk) March 26, 2019

Wiki rules
The rules of this wiki say that if a normal user adds his or her point (whether it be for advice or not) on another user's talk page on which an admin gave a warning or block, it just makes the admins' jobs harder. Why would that be the case if the commenting user wants to give the warned or blocked user advice or a past experience? Dwhitney (talk) 13:49, March 27, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Yoshi Colors
The proposal was initially just about Green Yoshi for now, but I was encouraged to switch gears to more/all colors ahead of time. That might have been how you overlooked it, although it definitely wasn't my intention, and it did get 12-1-2 in favor of merging after all. I did just take into account the platform games when I made the proposal (though I'd consider Super Mario Sunshine one special Yoshi with unique color-changing abilities and Super Mario Galaxy 2 just the main green Yoshi under the temporary affects of power-up fruit), but Baby Luigi did bring up the stat differences in the spinoffs. The individual colors and their occasional differences will be mentioned in the species article when the merge is complete. I was also thinking about adding a table of appearances for the Yoshi colors in the species article, so that information is now in one easily accessible spot.

Deletion
Okay, I uploaded a better image, and this time I want to mark the old image for deletion correctly. To get rid of the links the old image marks, should I change its filename to the new filename on all its pages? And on the old image's file page, should the new image's filename be after "{{delete|replaced"? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney (talk) 22:17, March 28, 2019 (EDT)

Colored Yoshi articles
I'm going to miss those colored Yoshi articles, but considering that the other colored Yoshis aren't as famous as the one Yoshi we all know and love, I think it's better to have their information on the Yoshi (species) article. Maybe the thumbnail that was on each colored Yoshi article could be added to the "Gallery" section on the Yoshi (species) article or to its article's gallery page? Dwhitney (talk) 13:12, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Probably. is the one working on it.  13:27, March 29, 2019 (EDT)

Beta Kretin
Image-quality won't change that TSR doesn't have a rip for it and that appears to be a jpg-to-png conversion. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:57, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Point of the image-quality template is to notify that the image needs improved. TSR may not have the sprite now, but they could later. The image does have a use despite its quality, and it is clear what this image is supposed to be, so it doesn't need to be deleted. 15:15, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's misleading and against policy.....also TSR has none in queue and haven't added anything to that section for months. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:18, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Looks more like a poor YouTube capture than a jpg to png conversion to me. How is it misleading? 15:24, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Because it's not a true sprite rip. sprite rips are at least mostly pixel-accurate. This isn't even size-accurate, much less a good crop. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:43, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Alright, good point. Perhaps an actual cropped screenshot would work better until the actual sprite gets ripped, if you're able to do that. For now, I'll get rid of this thing. 15:54, March 30, 2019 (EDT)

Lost some history
This has been bothering me, what exactly did you mean here? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:18, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * The link Mari0fan100 posted went to a fake warning, but the talk page owner, B.wilson, started removing their talk page content for several revisions and no one put any of it back. That's what I meant, I meant the user talk page's history is "lost", as in it'd be difficult (not to mention, pointless) to restore it all back.
 * Sorry, I meant to clarify but I forgot to go back to that >_< 00:23, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK, that makes sense. That sort of confusion is why when I'm responding to a point several indentations ago, I match my indentations up as though the ones between them aren't there. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:29, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I didn't exactly place that well, either. My bad for saying something completely irrelevant and unhelpful ^^; 00:44, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Friends?
If I were to be your friend (as I think we're on friendly terms now), what would that mean? Dwhitney (talk) 01:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, we're pretty friendly :) It means you can put my friend userbox to your userpage, and I could add yours to my page. No perks or anything, just a fun thing that shows we get along well :P 01:05, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

To put your friend userbox on my userpage, must I add info about me on my userpage? Dwhitney (talk) 22:34, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can just add the userbox if you want to. Whatever you put on your userpage is up to you. 22:37, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

It's done. Dwhitney (talk) 22:55, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yay ^^ 22:56, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Are you going to add my friend userbox to your userpage? (Oh, wait ... do I even have a friend userbox?) Dwhitney (talk) 13:59, April 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * You do not have a userbox, but I would add it if you made one! 16:36, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

How do I make a userbox? Dwhitney (talk) 16:50, April 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can copy the coding of any available userboxes (mine, for example) and adjust the coding as you see fit, using preview to check and keep adjusting until you end up with something you like. You can find more userboxes and how to use them at Userboxes. 16:54, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

I made my userbox, but something about my user page doesn't look right. Dwhitney (talk) 20:55, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Follow the directions at Userboxes. 20:57, April 26, 2019 (EDT)

I think I did it. Dwhitney (talk) 21:52, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yep! And I'll add yours to my page :) 23:59, April 26, 2019 (EDT)

Filenames
Why do you admins prefer that image filenames have lowercase extensions? Dwhitney (talk) 01:17, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Consistency, mainly. Makes things easier to remember. Unlike mainspace capitalization autoredirects, typing "jpg" will not work for an image that has "JPG" in the filename. 01:23, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Mario riddle 2
Here's another Mario riddle I made up. Bowser challenges Mario to play Game & Watch Gallery 4--collecting all 220 stars--in one day. Mario accepts the challenge, with Bowser believing it won't be done. Mario goes home and starts playing the game from the beginning. After a few failed attempts, he earns five stars in every minigame mode, except for Game B in the Classic and Modern versions of Donkey Kong 3 and Boxing, since he doesn't have anyone with whom to play the two-player modes. As a result, he collects 200 stars. He even plays the Museum games just for fun. The next day, Mario returns to Bowser to show him the result. Bowser is shocked to see that Mario collected all 220 stars, meaning Mario won the challenge. However, Mario didn't have an extra copy of Game & Watch Gallery 4, and he didn't ask anyone to play the two-player modes with him that day. How did Mario win Bowser's challenge? Dwhitney (talk) 14:35, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Can you get stars from Museum games? 17:12, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

No, you can't. Dwhitney (talk) 17:13, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Then I don't know. Don't have the game, so I don't know how we would do this. 17:18, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Answer: Mario showed Bowser a save file of when he previously completed the game. Dwhitney (talk) 17:26, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Doesn't the game only have one save file? Or would that mean Mario has an extra copy, which he could've used to get the remaining stars? Looking at a video doesn't show me any kind of file selection. 17:31, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

In the description section of World of Longplays' YouTube videos of Game & Watch Gallery 4, the player says that he couldn't receive the last 20 stars since he didn't have another player, but he found a save with the cast credits. That's how I got the idea for this riddle, but maybe I misunderstood it? Dwhitney (talk) 17:50, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, that's the video I found, but I... don't know. 17:53, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Poem
This is a poem I wrote. I call it "Twenty-one Errors in an Essay." Please tell me what you think. Can you identify the 21st error?

What is so wrong about my essay, My non-understanding teacher?

For me to begin, you wrote in pen; You didn't intent each paragraph within. You didn't write neat and wrote the number two, And as for homonyms, you wrote the wrong blue. There are no periods, colons, or commas; And as for spelling, you misspelled drama. Your name isn't here and nor is the date; You finished this paper and turned it in late. You've too many and{'}s and too many then{'}s; You used the same adverbs over again. You used contractions, and I told you so, To use them in essays, the answer is no. Proper nouns need to be capitalized; Plagiarizing's bad, in case you haven't realized. You didn't quote dialogue, as you can see; And in this sentence, you're supposed to use we.

Sorry about my essay, Miss ... I had a day to finish this. Dwhitney (talk) 18:10, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry the poem isn't formatted the way it's supposed to be. Dwhitney (talk) 18:12, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Don't worry about the formatting, pay it no mind. I read it all, the error was easy to find. I didn't even have to finish to find the mistake. Though I may have had to do a double-take. The error is obvious, even more so if read live. You simply misspelled "indent" on line five. 18:26, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Gosh darn autocorrect! That wasn't the error I had in mind. The last error is hinted in the last two lines of the poem. What is it? Dwhitney (talk) 18:40, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Well, darn, I put effort into that XD I figured it had something to do with the end of the poem, but I wasn't sure. I've turned in single-day long assignments late before, so that doesn't seem like a mistake to me. Well, a different kind of mistake, if that's what it is. 18:45, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Start with the line "Sorry about my essay, Miss ..." and read the line after that. This error might be the biggest one to make in an essay (it's likely something a lot of people do when they don't want to do something they need to do at the moment). What is it? Dwhitney (talk) 18:52, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * ...Lie? 18:55, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

No, not that. Here's a clue: This error that the student made in writing his essay led to him making all the other errors. It can be summarized in only one common word. Dwhitney (talk) 19:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Procrastination is the other word coming to mind, but if that's it, I have no time frame here. Turned it in late, yes, but how long did they have to work on the essay? 19:08, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

You got it! The time frame doesn't matter. The student had time to write a better essay, but because he procrastinated, he ended up rushing through it after realizing it was overdue; as a result, his teacher gave it a failing grade. I've had some experiences of that (though probably not with that many errors). When we procrasinate, what we need to get done either doesn't get done at all or doesn't get done as planned. Procrastination seems like a little thing, but it can make a big difference, usually negatively. Dwhitney (talk) 19:22, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Your poem was nice, anyway. Dwhitney (talk) 20:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks :P I get it, procrastination sucks. 20:03, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Here's another poem I wrote. I was inspired to write it after seeing the Mario Party 9 minigame Don't Look. This poem is called "Don't Look!" What do you think of it?

The arrows are pointing up, left, and right. Now's your chance to look around. Hey! You weren't supposed to look up. You were supposed to look down! Dwhitney (talk) 19:49, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * You mean Look Away.
 * Pretty good, but please try not to make excessive new sections on my talk page. Just the one header is enough, and I keep getting notifications... 20:03, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry about that. Dwhitney (talk) 20:08, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Delete
Can you delete Knight so I can move Yaburiki?
 * There you go! 00:02, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

Gull and Albatross
Remember when you said you wanted to see a source for the Wario Land II info? You're in luck! The YouTube video "Wario Land II - Game Manual (GB) (Instruction Booklet)" uploaded by Game Instruction Manual Retro is the source I found. However, it appears not to say anything about the white birds. Maybe they weren't named back then?

By the way, nice image on your user page. Dwhitney (talk) 01:02, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sounds vaguely familiar. Where did I say that? ^^; If they aren't given a name anywhere in the manual or game, perhaps a guide somewhere? Regardless, how it is now works, maybe we can slap on it...
 * And thanks, switching things up for April Fools' why not :P 01:10, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * Reminder that they use recycled graphics. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:20, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

Mario Kart 64
I recently had a chance to play Mario Kart 64 with my siblings, and boy, did it bring back memories! I forgot that in VS, the sound effects of the first player, including the kart, item boxes, and water and lava fall-ins, are omitted (at least, in two-player mode)--bummer.

The "Enemies" section table on the Mario Kart 64 article has "Bat" red-linked, but I'm not sure an article about it should be created, likely because there's not much info about it. Also, the "Non-playable" table section requests that additional images be uploaded, but an image is in each row in the first column. What are your thoughts about these? Dwhitney (talk) 23:17, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * For older TVs with only one audio port, it actually depends which audio color plug you put in. I think it's red for top and white for bottom. If both can be inserted, should work fine. We did four-player Mario Kart 64 the other day, and sound played just fine.
 * The Bat enemy is really just a generic bat, it doesn't do much until that run into you. It's role was replaced by Swoops in later games, so maybe it should link to there? The image template has been moved down a section. 00:23, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

According to the in-game quotes on the Banshee Boardwalk article, the bats are simply called "bats," so maybe "Bat" on the Mario Kart 64 article shouldn't link to Swoop. Dwhitney (talk) 22:59, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * True, but "bat" is used generically, and isn't significant enough to warrant its own article. Removing the link altogether is also an option. 23:04, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

I might just do that. Dwhitney (talk) 23:06, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Should the balloons in Mario Kart 64 have their own article? Originally, "balloon" on the article was linked to a disambiguation page on which the Mario Kart 64 balloons aren't linked, so I linked "balloon" on the Mario Kart 64 page to the Balloon Battle section on the Battle Mode page. Dwhitney (talk) 17:55, April 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * Nah, the link to Balloon Battle is enough. 17:58, April 16, 2019 (EDT)

DK WIKI
Hello it has been a while since I was on but I am going to help DK WIKI &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:57, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * Okay, welcome back. 18:59, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

And uh how do I merge things again my username is HERODK on the dk wiki &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:02, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * Look over the information on DKWiki to see if there is anything worth bringing over on to Mario Wiki, like missing level information and certain images, just by copy and pasting. 19:03, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * Things might need to be rewritten due to the DKWiki's generally poor writing. Once merged add a template to the DKWiki page and RMV will delete it.  19:06, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

Do I need something to tell I am merging? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:22, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * Placing a delete template on the DKWiki page tells that is has been looked over. 19:23, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

Ok thanks &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:38, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

About the OGA file on Mario Party Pandemonium.
Mikoro filled up a "reupload" claim on the file because the beginning was cut off, but is this REALLY necessary? I've seen a lot of OGA files that had the beginning cut off, which made me think that is how it was supposed to be like. -- 17:11, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * I already reverted it. Sample tracks don't have to have a beginning, that's up to the uploader I believe. 17:12, April 3, 2019 (EDT)

Shroom
Do you know how to sign up for the shroom? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 21:58, April 3, 2019 (EDT)

So you know how I signed up for the shroom? I sent a P.M. to LudwigVon and... no reply. What do I do? 15:12, April 19, 2019 (EDT)


 * I sent it like 2 weeks ago! 15:12, April 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * (Moved this up because it was also from you)
 * You're asking the wrong person. Let LudwigVon know and he'll get back to you. 15:28, April 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also LudwigVon said to not give up and try again so can I put on the shroom application demo?  13:36, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * I... don't understand the question. 13:37, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok so can I use things like on the shroom demo because I need to try again?
 * Oh. Yeah, if that's what you want to do for it, then go ahead. 13:44, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok I am trying to follow the guidelines! Also what is the minimum letter count for the strategy wing? 13:46, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't think there's a character limit for Shroom sections. 13:49, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * I do not mean to barge in, however the 'Shroom:Manual of Style details how long a section should be in this section. 13539, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Whoop, I was thinking max limit. Yeah, it does need to be a certain size to be sent in, depending on the team. I think it can be as long as it needs to, as long as it has substantial content. 13:56, April 26, 2019 (EDT)

Protected pages
I noticed that the Game & Watch and Secret Aquarium articles were protected indefinitely because people kept adding to them things that weren't intended to be said in them ("Game Watch" for "Game & Watch" and "Drown House" for "The Secret Aquarium"). Just for the heck of it, I looked up "super mario 64 ds drown house" on both Google and YouTube to see what I could find. The first results on neither website were "the Secret Aquarium," so I wonder where people got that phrase. Any ideas? Dwhitney (talk) 15:44, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * Probably just vandals trying to mess around with no real reason. Also, a level filled with water=the player drowning. 15:57, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * https://oneyplays.fandom.com/wiki/The_Drown_House 16:51, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

How ever did you find such a source for my question? Dwhitney (talk) 18:53, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * I looked it up a while ago, when the vandalism first started happening. Just searching "The Drown House" gave me that as the first result. 19:18, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

RE: SHROOM
Can I send it to his mario wiki talk? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:04, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * Nope. All applications are private documents that must be sent in via PM via the forums. 19:09, April 4, 2019 (EDT)


 * Also do I fill it out like

1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) Like how it does on the Sign up page where it explanes the aplication forum? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:22, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

 * I have to agree with HEROMARIO. Why aren't you a bureaucrat? You are really helpful. 18:47, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's not up to me :P Bureaucrats nominate other admins, but I like being an admin. If it happens, it happens. 18:48, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

Can you cancel the vote. Also if I was one I would mention you. I have a good felling that you are being talked about!!! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:51, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

 * Well, thanks ^^ Yeah, I'll cancel the thing. 18:55, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

PDKJR
The main problem with the last PDKJR proposal was that pretty much all of the votes were joke votes. Even ones from the admins. So, if a proposal was made, would it be treated seriously with any joke votes being removed by the admins? 21:07, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * ...I have absolutely no clue. Really the one you have to convince is Glowsquid. 21:12, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

Question
Hey, mind if I go ahead and start removing notes sections from level infoboxes? Just figured it'd be kinda rude to do that without asking first. Who has lost his tail? 01:10, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * People have already started doing that, so... *shrugs* Yeah, there's a lot to go through, so any help is appreciated ^^ 01:14, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Invalid vote
GrainedCargo192's vote here is invalid, as his vote is stating that splitting Gummits would create stubs, despite stub pages only referring to pages that lack information, not necessarily small pages. It is not the first time were he mislabeled stubs, and he has been told before that stubs are not always small articles and vice versa. While TDA has told him that it happened a day ago and his vote has not been changed, so it may be time for it to be removed. 12:40, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * The vote isn't invalid, but it's not correct, either. He has yet to edit the wiki after his votes on the fourth, and he still has time to remove it if he wants to. If he doesn't and the proposal passes anyway, it wouldn't matter. 12:44, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * The thing that matters thought is that fact that it would most likely stall the change for two weeks: FanOfYoshi would be able to cancel the proposal and put it in to effect due to having a consensus and being consistent with the rest of the wiki if it was not for his vote which is based off a misconception that he had for a while. 12:50, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * He's been told about how stubs work now, he wasn't then. He can chose to ignore it, in which case, he would just keep getting reminded, but he now has something to tell him that short articles don't mean stubs. Because of TDA's message, no further action needs to be taken at the moment.
 * I'm honestly on the fence about this proposal, seems more like a Green/Red Koopa Troopa thing to me. I think canceling should be held off. 12:57, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Controls
Sorry I am trying to add stuff for people in the game controls could you help me maybe? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:35, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I fixed what I thought needed fixing. 20:36, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

User
Should I give waluigi time a warning I checked the policy and he changed my comment and on the help page it said that that is a level 2 &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:26, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

I wan’t to do it if yes &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:27, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * No. Your comment was forum talk, as in better suited to the forums rather than a wiki talk page. Waluigi Time is in the right. 22:28, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Oh ok. Thats why I wanted to make sure. &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:29, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

I just wish he would instead tell me &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:29, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * He reverted with "forum talk" in the summary. Maybe instead of going "hey man, that's not nice", could've gone with "what does forum talk mean?" 22:31, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Bat
ahem

Additionally, there is some interesting notes on it to be made, such as its lack of existence in the Time Trials. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:57, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Idea
I had a very cool idea and I told this user Owencrazyboy9 but I have it in my copy/paste would you like to see it? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:25, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

It is a way for people not the have info spoiled! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:27, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I saw it. We don't hide spoilers, though an option to hide images so they don't load and increase some load times is interesting. 12:28, April 7, 2019 (EDT)


 * It would help everyone because all you would have to do is Insert spoiler I don’t know it is up to porplemontage. Maybe we should tell him I don’t know... BACK TO EDITING!!! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:43, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * The spoiler thing has been talked about multiple times. It's not happening. 12:44, April 7, 2019 (EDT)


 * Go figure. hey have you been on the mindless junk page of the forums? There is a lot of cool things and that is where you can find me go check it out! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:49, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I saw you there. 12:52, April 7, 2019 (EDT)


 * Nice thing is that the rules arn’t THAT strict. It is a breath of fresh air... &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:57, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Unblocking request
I noticed on one of your archived talk pages, a previously blocked user asked you to unblock him/her, saying that he/she knew the rules now and promised to obey them. You replied that you were going to discuss it with the other admins. However, because that user created another account while blocked, your answer was "no." If that user hadn't done that, would you have unblocked him/her? Dwhitney (talk) 13:18, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * Who knows? I don't know how that conversation would've gone, since I ended it immediately. 13:19, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Stuff
And this is why you should be a burucat! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:25, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * Agreed. Also, it's spelled "bureaucrat". 18:25, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

"the enemy list guy"
I think that's a rash assumption, given what they did was get rid of a plural that shouldn't have been there (note it says there's only one). It could have been any random person who noticed that mistake. Is the IP in a similar range, at least? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:59, April 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes, the IP was in a range with a few other IPs the person used. 18:00, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Rename
I think you can rename the sliding punch article. Right? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:53, April 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I'll get to it in a moment ^^ 19:55, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Can I have some help on like getting the ability to delete things on the dk wiki. Its fine if no it’s just I want to help. &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:09, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't even have the ability :P Results May Vary wants to look over marked articles anyway, just to double-check. 20:10, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok I put my request on the request page so if it happens. It happens I will try to help more. &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:12, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I see it. But you don't need to be an admin to move things over. 20:15, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok, I know but it will help! So yeah! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:17, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * As far as bringing information over is concerned, it will do absolutely nothing different. But up to the votes. 20:18, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Tiki proposal
I'd forgotten about that, thanks. 21:27, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * No problem :) 21:27, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Glad someone else remembered. Anyways, that "Alex the Toad" fellow is doing edits suspiciously similar to those of CoolYoshi, so they probably are indeed the same person. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:40, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Admin noticeboard
I was more talking about the repetitive "NO ONE CAN UNDO THIS" behavior than edit warring. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:32, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * He wasn't on a last warning for that specifically. But since he was ignoring our questions, we made the decision for him. 22:37, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Your opinion
Just out of curiosity, why do you like being an admin? Dwhitney (talk) 23:00, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I like being able to do maintenance in a community I've followed for... almost a decade now, wow. Help others with article deletions and projects that require an admin. And take care of vandals when they happen. 23:05, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Hi
I need to know. Is it possible to play your powermaster games on an Ipad because you do a great deal of good things that it seems like it would be fun! Thank you for helping me with everything &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:39, April 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * I have not tested Power Master on an iPad, but it has not worked on my smartphone, so I assume it would be the same thing? If you want to give it a whirl, though, go ahead, but I'll do some more testing myself later. And you're welcome :) 19:43, April 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok I am on 3G so it might take 1 million years but I will try. &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:44, April 10, 2019 (EDT)

Stretch Guy and Melon Guy names
Hey! Can you check out if the Stretch is called "Stretch Guy", or "Melon Guy" at any point in both guides? They currently are redirects, which i use both of them. -- 13:21, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I'll check in a bit. 13:22, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Those are both old conjecture names, I'm pretty sure. Melon Guy was merged to Stretch when it was realized they were the same thing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:41, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I'm only finding "Stretch". 13:44, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

thumb
I think that was a misguided attempt to format images.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:14, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Probably, but I banned them for the Flopter and Yoshi Touch & Go edits. 15:16, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, guess I shoulda checked more than just one edit XD. Compy's been a little slow recently.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:22, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

Question
Does using cuss words on a user page count for a warning? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:08, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * No. 14:08, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * (I am capable of answering) Not exactly. It will be if the profanity becomes excessive, though. 14:09, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Like how many times? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:10, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * For a extra and obvious fact, it wouldn't be allowed at all if it was directed to somebody. -- 14:13, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok but. How many times if it is on a userpage? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:12, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * He said excessive, its not like there's a exact amount, but you have to be chill with it. -- 14:13, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Would 5 probably be when you give it? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:14, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * What is the point of knowning this anyways? Do you plan on swearing?-- 14:17, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Of course not!!! Its just I saw someone with cuss on there talk and I want to be sure before I give a warning!!! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:18, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also on the warning page it said that swearing is a LEVEL 2 OFFENSE. &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:21, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * It never said that. There is literally nothing wrong with occasional profanity as long as it is not directed at other users, discourteously used or extremely excessive. It of course depends on what profanity is used, but for the most part the above applies. 14:23, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

From Courtesy: Swearing at other people is flaming and is unacceptable. The occasional use of profanity is allowed as long as it is not directed at another user, but it should generally be avoided. Similarly, if a user specifically requests that no profanity is used on their talk page, their wishes should be respected. You are free to use profanity in moderation in your own userspace, but if it is decided that you have overstepped the boundaries of good taste, you may be asked to tone it down. Profanity is not allowed when directed at someone or if there is an excessive amount of it. Not really something to give a warning for either way, unless it turns into outright flaming. If anything, it'd be a userspace warning. 14:24, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok well should I give a reminder a userspace warning or what? There is like saying the user thinks toad is a pain in the ***. And the user also said that the user will try and hurt wario and waluigi!!! Uses cuss words at least 4 times!&#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:28, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Who's? 14:30, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * I mean regarding profanity, I only think it's worth a warning if it's like far-out-there inappropriate, excessive, disruptive, or a personal attack on someone. Results May Vary (talk) 14:30, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * HEROMARIO, that edit didn't clarify anything. 14:34, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * The user is bazooka mario! She also said something about a $#!+!y little baby!!! I think she needs a warning! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:36, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * It is a little excessive and rude. &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:38, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * While I'm not a fan of these words, she knows how to use them in moderation. The phrase is not directed at anyone (other than Baby Mario), and she was asked to take down a whole section of content directed at other users back in 2016. She knows not to call anyone names or insult anyone, considering she's been around since 2009. Her talk page is fine. 14:40, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * What about her userpage? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:42, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't see anything wrong. 14:45, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok. Thats why I wanted to make sure. Or else it would be bad for me too!!! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:46, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

Tetris (Game & Watch)
Apparently, the Tetris Game & Watch game was never released, because Nintendo thought it might ruin the Game Boy version's sales. Dwhitney (talk) 01:09, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

Adeste
Was that LSDR again? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:12, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yep. 15:33, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's amazing how long some people will wait to come back and do basically what their calling card is, thus making it wholly transparent who they are. What is the point, I wonder? Self-gratification on some wholly-internal running gag? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:39, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think it's just boredom in her case. 15:40, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * I searched LSDR on the user list, and nothing appeared with the same name. What happened? 15:43, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Lava Spire Daredevil Run. 16:20, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * I saw that edit, but that was the only time that an edit like that was made on that page by any user. Doc's comment makes it seem like the user is a reoccurring sockpuppet with similar actions. What does LSDR stand for? 16:26, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * LSDR means Lava Spire Daredevil Run :P Main account's been banned for a while. She had some decent edits, but it's mixed with gibberish edits and forum talk page creations that continued even after she was told to stop. 16:51, April 15, 2019 (EDT)

Catagorys
Sorry about the categorizing. It is very confusing so please help! 19:15, April 15, 2019 (EDT)

Italics
Do you have any idea why the "References" section on the Yoshi (species) article is all italicized? I doubt it should be like that, and I'm having trouble undoing the italics. Dwhitney (talk) 19:55, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Super Smash Bros. Melee image in the gallery was missing an italics mark (which were redundant with the HTML italics anyway), and the coding was in the wrong order. It's been fixed. 19:58, April 15, 2019 (EDT)

RE:Personal images
The first one you can delete. The second one is used on this Mario Boards thread. I don't appear to have an attachment button when I post something on the forum so I resorted to uploading said image on the wiki and then linking to it. You can delete it as well, but the thread won't make much sense after that... 13:37, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * NO WAIT... ugh, I got them mixed up. This one was meant to be deleted... I'm a dork. 13:51, April 17, 2019 (EDT)

Giant Donkey Kong and Edit Warring
He refused to respond to the talk page messages after a while and then started changing everything back despite no one else having any problem with it. I don't know what to think about that. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:25, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * The edit war summary was really more of a general reminder, but you sent a message before I finish the edit, so it doesn't mean anything anymore. 21:40, April 17, 2019 (EDT)

Wiggler and Flutter
Merge Wiggler with Flutter? I don't think that should happen, considering they're different characters. Even though a Wiggler turns into a Flutter, I think it's better for them to have separate articles. For example, a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, but it wouldn't look good to discuss the lives of both animals on the same article, would it? (Mentioning that a caterpillar changes into something else is fine, however.) Not to mention, Flutters don't appear in every Mario game that Wigglers do. What's your opinion? Dwhitney (talk) 23:26, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm already opposing the merge, but the conversation doesn't appear to be going anywhere... 23:27, April 17, 2019 (EDT)

Template for WarioWare Gold
Can I make the template for the souvenirs now? -- 19:00, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, whenever you want. 19:06, April 18, 2019 (EDT)

Super Mario 64 DS
The mission Big Penguin Race on the Super Mario 64 DS article says that the player shouldn't take any shortcuts, or the Penguin will disqualify them. Technically, that's not true. There's one shortcut the player can take: The player can jump over the gap right before the hidden wall shortcut (if you know what I mean), and the Penguin won't consider that cheating, as I've done a few times. I'm not sure it works in the original game. Do you think this info is relevant to be added to one of these articles? Dwhitney (talk) 21:50, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * I believe how the game knows the player takes a shortcut is because they are marked; if the player passes a certain trigger, the Big Penguin won't give the Star. Shortcuts that don't have these triggers, as in unintended shortcuts, would work I think. I drop off the ledge near the start and the race continues as normal, so it's really the tunnel that's a marked shortcut. I think that's something that can be added in a trivia. 00:53, April 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * I seem to recall that taking the huge shortcut at the first corner (cutting out about like 50% of the slide) makes him made. That may have been removed in the DS version. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:38, April 19, 2019 (EDT)

The Health Meter in Super Mario 64 DS appears to be called the Power Meter. The Health Meter in this game and the original has "Power" above it, but can you confirm that the Health Meter is called the Power Meter in the original game? Dwhitney (talk) 12:14, April 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'll be rather busy today, but I'll look it up when I have the time. 12:30, April 20, 2019 (EDT)

Before I add the Power Meter name in the Super Mario 64 section on the Health Meter article, do you know if the Health Meter is called that in that game? (I would think it is.) Dwhitney (talk) 01:09, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

Darn italics error. Dwhitney (talk) 01:10, April 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Shoot, weekend was very busy and I completely forgot about this. Sorry, I'll check tomorrow. 01:11, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

Okay. Please let me know when you do. Dwhitney (talk) 01:14, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

The mission Behind Chain Chomp's Gate in Super Mario 64 DS is spelled "Behind Chain-Chomp's Gate," but I'm not sure if the article should be renamed because of that. Dwhitney (talk) 13:29, April 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * If that's how it is in the remake, then yes. 13:32, April 26, 2019 (EDT)

Uploading images
You said that if a user doesn't want to use the aboutfile template at all, he or she can simply remove it before uploading a file. When would you consider it acceptable to remove the aboutfile template? Dwhitney (talk) 22:30, April 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Using the aboutfile template is recommended, but not required. There really isn't a good reason to remove it from a file summary after the image is uploaded, that'd be pointless. 22:32, April 19, 2019 (EDT)

Template
Ok you are right. So let me tell you this  etc... and please have a good reason for it! purpose is: On the blurp page there is an enemy that is not a blurp! The bud in SM64! I made this template so that I could put that there so what do you think of it? 13:23, April 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think you should just post on the talk page about the page content. 13:54, April 22, 2019 (EDT)

Super Mario Party images
Hi, what is the exact source of those? If they're images from an in-game minigame, they technically should be filed as sprites. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:09, April 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't know, I didn't upload them. 10:36, April 24, 2019 (EDT)

Kyogre
But despite what some people may say, 3DS and Wii U Smash are not the same game (officially the 4th and 5th, respectively), and as such, should not have conflation like that, regardless of the amount of shared assets. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:03, April 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes, but we also cut back on the amount of Smash content we cover. The Pokemon page does not have any other 3DS screenshots, because the Wii U version shows them off just fine. We don't need multiple images of the same Pokemon here. 16:09, April 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's still a different game with different models, and as such shouldn't take any less priority than having separate images for Snorlax in every other game. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:05, April 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * If you think we have a use for the image, I'll restore it. But I'm not finding any other 3DS Pokemon images uploaded. 00:09, April 25, 2019 (EDT)

Vandalism
Boy, one user must've been pretty upset with you reverting his or her acts of vandalism (one of them being on the Health Meter page I'd edited), since that user created three similar accounts (one after the other), the third of which was used to blank your talk page content. I wonder if I'll have a chance to report an act of vandalism on this wiki, and if anyone else has blanked your talk page content out of upset-ness. Dwhitney (talk) 23:58, April 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * There was an edit war on my talk page back in 2016, but that's the only instance coming to mind. It's pretty common for vandals to be upset at the admin blocking them, for some reason. 00:02, April 25, 2019 (EDT)

?
So if you go to Template: SMRPGenemy I did some major fixing of code! Any idea why that wasn’t there before? 11:19, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Good typo fix, but you should check if anything is using the "|moves=" parameter. 11:22, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I looked and nothing! And I am a bad coder but it would help... let me see what I can do. EDIT: I need some help with the fine tuning code for when it is horizontal. 11:25, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Fixed, though the horizontal template doesn't really even out anymore... 11:47, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Maybe I can find a use for it. Luckily I am on a trip and back home I am in the middle of playing it and it is a lot of fun. #Geno for smash. Sorry had to say it. 19:10, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * ...Actually, looking through the different SMRPG enemies, the "move" parameter isn't really all that needed. Most enemies only have the one basic attack, which can be covered simply by their Attack power.
 * But maybe you can find a use for it. 12:01, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I find it helpful for enemies like the shysters. When I was Absolutely DESTROYING Mack. The shysters had 2 attacks : Basic: jump, Special: DRAIN. And it said this: THE ENEMIE’S FP IS GONE! And they would either Jump or just do nothing... 12:14, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Why did you remove my comment? I was trying to help!!! All my work... 19:10, April 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * All those translated comments were completely unnecessary and did absolutely nothing. 19:12, April 27, 2019 (EDT)

Need help 2
So I am trying to find some help to know if I should make SMB2 a disabuligation page but I can’t find any help on knowing what should be a disabuligation page. Please help. EDT: The reason is that we don’t know if the mean This or this! 11:05, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * First of all: "Disambiguation"
 * Second: SMB2 doesn't need to be a disambiguation. Only two titles are called that, and one is called the Lost Levels in English.
 * Three: A disambiguation is really only needed when there are too many things to fit in an template, usually four or more. SMB2 already has an about on it's page linking to Lost Levels.  11:10, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok thanks. 11:11, April 28, 2019 (EDT)

D pad
So I want to upload a file of the joy-cons d-pad but I filled in the white spots very carfully. Whould that be ok to upload under Fair Use? 13:16, April 28, 2019 (EDT)

 * Those are what I am talking about! I put

Together with some fine editing whould that be Fair use? 13:23, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * It... looks like what you are talking about has already been uploaded, since you just showed them? Or do you mean all four buttons being white? 13:27, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * I am Talking about do this To the Jcon pad things. And I edited them but I want to know if that is ok to upload.  13:29, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure. These are supposed to represent both the arrow buttons and the face buttons, depending on the Joy-Con, so I can't think of an instance would you would need to refer with an image, as it wouldn't be clear which you'd be referencing. Could do " (direction buttons/face buttons)", but then might as well just write the whole thing out anyway.  13:39, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * Is it Fair Use to upload an edited image. 13:48, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * It would be, yes. I wasn't sure what you were talking about, but Tent2 explained more in Discord. A combination image of the four direction buttons should be fine, considering the other consoles have one. But maybe I should see what you have first, perhaps using imgur. 13:52, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * What I did was I took one the pads, open notes on my ipad, found the right color, zoomed in, then I very carefully filled in the white. 13:55, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * Could also put all four separate files onto the same image. 13:56, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * Like this. Is that what you're thinking of? 14:00, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes and I sent you a P.M. on the boards. 14:14, April 28, 2019 (EDT)

Can we exchange friend userboxes already?
There is no more to this conversation than the subject. -- 22:45, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * Haha, sure :) 22:48, April 28, 2019 (EDT)

Mr. I image
Actually there is a problem. It was assembled from raw textures at their exact sizes without taking into account the fact that in-game, both are stretched by different amounts and then filtered. Ergo, it is inaccurate to their in-game appearance. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk)
 * Ah, I didn't know that applied to the Mr. I. Makes sense, I suppose, with the Giant Mr. I. 18:43, May 2, 2019 (EDT)

Here
18:47, May 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't know what this is for. 18:52, May 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, I know what it is. It's another one of the "insert name here war" userboxes. I have one on my userpage. Either way, just clarifying. 18:58, May 2, 2019 (EDT)

The offensive word
It actually is sometimes considered to be an offensive term. 20:17, May 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, interesting. Google and Wikipedia just say what it means and that it's not used anymore, but not that it's actually an offensive term. I didn't look too closely, though; one of the refs on Wikipedia says that it is, checking it again. 20:23, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

Snake Blocks
For some reason, when I try to revert File:SMM2-SMB-SnakeBlock.png to its older version using the revert button next to the older version, the site does not allow the revert with it stating that "The current version of the file is already identical to the selected one.", which is not the case. May you please try? 18:25, May 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * It is the case. Do a hard refresh with Ctrl + F5. 18:26, May 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * I done the refresh although the file page only shows one revision (The older one) and stats that no pages link to the file. 18:30, May 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Weird. I'm seeing it reverted to the previous revision and is linked on Super Mario Maker 2's page. I can't revert it again, as it already happened. Maybe exit out of your browser. 18:33, May 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * And now the file page correctly shows three revisions and where the file links to however it shows the third revision as the older revision instead of the unofficial recreation, uploaded with the same comment and by the same uploader before the refresh. I also exited my browser, coming back with the same effect. 18:36, May 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Never mind, when I first tried to revert the third revision looked like the recreation due to me not doing a hard refresh, my mistake. 18:39, May 5, 2019 (EDT)

Another edit revert concern again... (Princess Daisy article)
Just ran into the news that the edit that I was trying to "restore" got reverted (after someone attempted to take it out earlier because of reasoning of said details being "mentioned later in the [Princess Daisy] article"). IMHO, that part was still important to note in the Mario Party series section of the article in regards to when the current dress/overall of Daisy made its debut (although I do agree about the details of the design itself being reserved for later on in said article regarding what the designs looked like). Can you reconsider this, please? --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 17:35, May 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * The information is already in her Creation and development section, though I agree that's better off in the physical description section. Only needs to be said once. 17:41, May 7, 2019 (EDT)

Fan term redirects
I am sorry, but your comments here and here are trying to go against policy. While it is true that your argument about the conjectural part of the redirect policy is what most likely what the policy means, the current way that the policy is worded makes it so that Throw Block is a valid redirect that, unless the policy is changed or you have another reason for its deletion, should not be deleted. If the Throw Block redirect is deleted, then other unofficial fan name redirects such as SMO (An abbreviation that is not officially used to my knowledge) will also have to be deleted. 16:52, May 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I did not see you new edit on Pallukun's talk page when I wrote your comment, my mistake (However my arguments about why fan term redirects still stand). 16:55, May 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I went back on the deletion line on Palluken's talk, but I think the term "conjectural" on Redirects is a little vague. Abbreviations like SMO are fine, since it still stands for the game's title. But I don't think creating fan terms as redirects should be allowed.
 * Maybe I'll ask Porple to clarify later or a proposal or something. 16:56, May 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * EDIT: Throw Block could actually be too general, as it can refer to any throwable block. 17:00, May 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Very good point. However if a fan-term redirect does not interfere with anything official or is too general, then I feel that there is no harm in having fan-term redirects as they do not affect the page itself, and a reader may only now a fan term for the subject, not its official name. 17:03, May 9, 2019 (EDT)

Throw Block
I have no official source, but I figured it didn't matter since the point of a redirect is to take people to the correct page. If some people know it as Throw Block - I've seen plenty of Youtubers and Redditors, plus it's the name given to it in the SMW hack program Lunar Magic - then lots of people are going to get lost looking for nonexistent page. The redirect is just to say "that's not what it's called, but I know what you mean". When I was looking for that article, I spent half an hour because I had never heard of 'Grab' Block. Pallukun (talk) 17:21, May 9, 2019 (EDT)

Beach Bowl Images
Emulator bug vs. correct behavior based on verifying the real console. The water effect correction may be related to the developers implementing "arbitrary mipmap detection" into 5.0-5745. Above 1x native broke the intended effect otherwise. This effect is distance-dependent. Water is clear close-up while water is opaque far away. -- 21:59, May 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's also part of the reason I was holding off mass-replacing Melty Molten Galaxy images. You can see the issue with Puzzle Plank Galaxy. I noticed this before taking pictures for Melty Monster Galaxy. The main reason was fatigue related to GCN/Wii screenshots. Dolphin just sucks at pictures in general. It's not easy to mess around with the main window. -- 22:22, May 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * I do know of a capture card by Elgato, but it is very expensive, like between $100-$200. Also, The vWii is a bit blurry on Wii U. -- 22:43, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

Future Tense
I originally removed future tense from a few articles about RPG enemies before adding it back in, thinking that future tense was categorically banned. Which leads me to ask this... what is the wiki's stance on future tense? Power Flotzo (talk) 00:54, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Perhaps this proposal can clarify things for you. 00:58, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * The sentences in question were something like "They will move from shell to shell[...]" and "If it performs X, it will aim at Mario." In case you were wondering, they were not referring to any upcoming games. Power Flotzo (talk) 01:22, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Looking at the edits, those type of lines I think are fine, since they are specifying possible actions rather than a linear time frame. 01:27, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

List
There I made a more fitting page: List of Super Mario levels 13:32, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * ... Why? It was already told to you that the category page is the same thing. 13:36, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * I looked at it and... well it really isn’t... 13:37, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * It is, just divided. Something like this should've been brought up first. You started something in your sandbox, which is good, but it wasn't ready to move over. I'm not sure why we cover World like a list, tbh, as Category:Worlds does the same thing and they are all in List of places... 13:43, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * The main focus of this is to have a more organized thing that is a list, not a jumbled abc thing for the main series. 13:45, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't see how organized categories are jumbled. 13:48, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok what I mean is that this is for a List of levels in the Super Mario games! 13:49, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * I get what you are trying to go for, but again, this should've been discussed first, leaving it in your sandbox until it was ready to be made into a full page. 13:52, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok I get it now. One second... 13:53, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok, go ahead. 13:55, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, I do not mean to barge in, but see Category:Mario Levels and its subcategories. 13:56, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Can I move this over to where the discussion will be heald? 13:57, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can link to this discussion, but not outright copy it over. 13:58, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

Button
Sorry about the whole button thing, I was trying to use the original button but the ds lite one works better. 11:55, May 12, 2019 (EDT)

IP address
BLOCK s that the "Prevent logged-in users from editing from this IP address", option should always be left unchecked. This block you made violates that! 107.178.45.225 23:16, May 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * That particular IP address is a repeated ban evader, but I'll admit I completely forgot about that point. I've only checked it for ban evaders, to prevent any of their accounts from editing and creating from that IP. ...I'm questioning that point, though, as... why is it even there? 00:23, May 17, 2019 (EDT)

Those Mario Kart redirects
Hey! Since this proposal passed, could you restore the redirects that got deleted? -- 08:36, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * Okay. 13:23, May 17, 2019 (EDT)

WLSML3 art
Guess we can cross that game off the "artwork without known prior source" list from the PEotGMCE's art. Mostly what remains is arcade enemies, GBDK enemies, and some SMW stuff. Guess I won't have to upload the black-and-white SML3 stuff from there, at least. Thanks. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:38, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * You're welcome, but it wasn't me that found these. Hamshamcart found them, but he's banned here, so he can't upload them. 17:43, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * So where are you getting the images from, exactly? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:48, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * Our DMs on Discord. 17:49, May 17, 2019 (EDT)

Glowing rabbit
Should the Glowing Rabbit article be renamed "Glowing rabbit," since Super Mario 64 DS spells it "glowing rabbit"? Dwhitney (talk) 19:11, May 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * I would think so. 19:17, May 20, 2019 (EDT)

IP you just blocked
just my two cents, but i don't think this IP meant to do bad. he may have simply confused Bullies for another enemy and, being an ultra newbie, wasn't aware that his edit was reverted by someone else and thought it simply didn't register for some reason, and that's why he added it back. i remember making the same mistake at some point, but luckily i was already signed up so i wasn't blocked instantly. even so, it took me an embarassingly long time to discover that you can leave comments to your edits. 16:32, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thing is, they did it after this IP did the same thing. Likely the same person. So saving the edit three times is something I wouldn't call an accident. Still, only kept the blocks to a week. 16:35, May 21, 2019 (EDT)

File deleation/creation block
So... you know how you admins somtimes block the creation of pages??? Well... I was thinking, with the rise of IP Vandals (I check the page everytime they edit) I was thinking you guys should block the making of the page: File:.png as it might corupt everything... 19:45, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * This is what I got trying to create "File:.png":
 * Warning: This page can only be edited by administrators and other users with the tboverride right because it matches the following title blacklist entry:
 * I think we're fine. 19:49, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok... I was just being safe since IP are not the best, well some are good...
 * IPs can't create pages anyway. 19:51, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Good point, but... they can create a page, if they do 10 good edits, wait 4 days... so... 19:53, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sure, but they have to make an account first. Either way, if they sign up purely to vandalize, they likely won't even make it to those requirements. 19:55, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok thanks!!! 21:46, May 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok thanks!!! 21:46, May 23, 2019 (EDT)

Edit request
Would you mind replacing the SSB artwork of Mario in this user's signature before this redirect gets deleted? I want to check to see if it has been completely replaced on the mainspace. Thanks in advance. Power Flotzo (talk) 02:22, May 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, was going to edit the sig once the file moved. 02:24, May 26, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Infoboxes
Oh, apologizes, I wasn't aware. It's just that I already saw some Retro Courses for Mario Kart Tour's beta and I thought it was enough evidence to have it added onto the course's respective articles regarding its latest appearance, since it's very likely if you ask me, with the game being released this year in summer 2019, assuming it doesn't get delayed that is. --Jjrapper100 (talk) 21:16, May 26, 2019 (EDT)

Virtual boy wario land for 3DS
If you look at the list of unreleased media, you will find an article for a pitch to Nintendo called virtual boy wario land 3DS Lord Falafel (talk) 10:47, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ah. Rather than link to the original game or make a new article on an unreleased game with little information, should link to the unreleased media page instead. I'll put that back. 10:50, May 27, 2019 (EDT)

Also, the link to Mario motors needs to be changed Lord Falafel (talk) 10:51, May 27, 2019 (EDT)

Tennis for the NES is missing Lord Falafel (talk) 16:49, May 27, 2019 (EDT)

I'll do it myself Lord Falafel (talk) 17:01, May 27, 2019 (EDT)

The link to tennis on the Famicom leads to the warioware minigame, but it needs to be fixed to lead to the NES game Lord Falafel (talk) 17:27, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Doesn't look like we cover that game, so the link should just be removed. 17:29, May 27, 2019 (EDT)

Gayluigi1879
I do not see why the user should of been blocked due to their username. While it is true that the word gay can be used offensively, it can also be used in an unoffencive manner, which may of been the intent. 15:11, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's not the first time. 16:03, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't necessarily agree with those blocks either (and not all of those users were blocked for having "gay" either. There's nothing offensive about the word "gay". 16:14, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Looking a bit further, it seems Gay Waluigi was unblocked as the admins at the time decided "gay" wasn't unacceptable. Doesn't look like that's the case for the Gay Luigi variants, though. I agree "gay" isn't offensive in and of itself (one of its definitions is "happy", though that's not the usual one anymore), but I guess calling a character gay when they clearly aren't is a problem? Poor Luigi.
 * I can ask the other admins, see what they have to say. 16:19, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I feel like in this case, it's better to wait and see what edits they make before blocking them. And...again this is the Mario series so people can have whatever canon of the characters they like. I personally think Luigi is bi myself, so yeah. 16:23, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
