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)
 * Thank you!-- 19:56, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Dkwiki
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)

Is it okay to upload a videogame screenshot from another wiki? Dwhitney (talk) 23:31, August 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * If it's relevant and proper credit is given, and it's an image you aren't able to capture yourself, sure. 11:01, August 8, 2019 (EDT)

I tried to upload a new version of the Game & Watch Gallery 4 title screen (one with the North American title), but its file page still shows the screenshot with the European title. So I tried to upload my image separately, but the upload log says it's a duplicate image of the previous one, even though both images have different game titles. Did I do something wrong? Dwhitney (talk) 20:58, August 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Press Ctrl+F5 on the original image. 21:19, August 23, 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)
 * The Joy-Cons don't have D-Pads. It has these:


 * 13:20, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * 13:20, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * 13:20, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * 13:20, April 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * 13:20, 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?

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)

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)

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)

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.

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)

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)

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)
 * As the user has been unblocked shouldn't the other users that have been blocked exclusively due to their similar usernames also be unblocked? 15:49, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * There's not really a point to that anymore, but we agreed on "gay" not being a blockable term unless obviously used in a derogatory manner. 15:52, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * There is still a point to unblocking them. If you were one of those users and wanted to edit for some reason but saw that your old account was permanently blocked (If you remembered it which could be the case), then (even though they would not be blocked if they created a new account) they would think that they would never be able to edit on the site again, for something which is no longer a punishable act. Some users did not even receive the "create a new username message". It's quite unfair for them. 15:57, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * "but we agreed on "gay" not being a blockable term unless obviously used in a derogatory manner." Turns out I misremembered, looking back. JC was the only one who said anything, who simply said to unblock and watch.
 * The blocked accounts in question are around three years old, with the ones that aren't blocked being younger than that. Chances are, they've already made a new account within that time frame. Or if they made one today, we wouldn't be able to connect them as the IPs are removed from the account after a year. Even unblocking them now and letting them know they can use the account again, they probably completely forgot about it and their password. 16:08, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * That is all based off assumptions. They could of not made a new account. They could of remembered their account and password (all of their internet accounts may have the same password, or they could of wrote it down). And the connecting ip thing does not matter, as they would not be reblocked anyways as they were unfairly blocked. As it not being decided about the word gay, not only is the word often inoffensive, but keeping those users blocked because of the use of the word gay is discrimination. Which is unacceptable. 18:15, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Those bans were regrettable, but going back and unblocking a bunch of accounts that, realistically, are never gonna see use again, would be a goofy and empty gesture at best. Keeping a bunch of accounts blocked for (yes) invalid reasons is not an endorsement of the idea banning people for having "gay" in their name was ever really an acceptable practice, but that doing it for those accounts specifically is Not Worth The Effort. If someone is serious about editing the wiki under any of those names, they can (and probably would already have) contacted us. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:03, June 13, 2019 (EDT)

Alex the Toad's ip
Regardless of access to their account or not, they committed a blockable offence, and thus should be blocked on the spot. If he was logged into his account when he done the edit he would be blocked anyways, so what is changed here? 19:16, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I want to make sure he can actually get back into his account first. Once I have a definitive answer (either he gives an email, keeps editing with the mistakes, or manages to get back in himself), then I'll decide what to do. 19:36, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Now that he created another account, shouldn't his new account be blocked temporarily? Just because he forgot his password does not excuse the fact the he committed a blockable offence that he did not get blocked for yet.  20:29, May 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, he forgot to add italics, which he got reminded about after having a last warning again. 20:55, May 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * :thumbsup: 21:04, May 31, 2019 (EDT)

User talk:FireyYoshi
Shouldn't his last warning have been overturned as it was issued after he was blocked during his block? He technically did not do anything for a last warning, he just done enough to progress instantly from a regular warning to a block. 17:30, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's still valid, serving as a permanent reminder not to that collection of violations again. 17:34, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, but a last warning does more than to remind a user. It affects how they get blocked. An action that would usually just grant a user a warning would instantly get them blocked even if they did not do that action before, if they have a last warning. However, if they just had a regular warning, they would just get another regular warning. So, him getting a last warning despite getting blocked beforehand without one will permanently and unfairly affect how he is blocked/warned. 17:38, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * I suppose it could've been removed then, between the miscommunication of the admins. Yoshi876 was handing out the warning as I was blocking them. Then again, it doesn't really matter; if they do this stunt again, they'll just be blocked again anyway because of the information in the block log. They are on a last warning no matter what happens here. 17:46, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes, but what I mean is if he did not have a last warning if he, for example, enforced a proposal before it passed, he would simply get another regular warning due to it being a level two offence. However, due to his unnecessary last warning, if he done that he would be blocked instantly, despite him never doing it. As stated on the warning policy: "If you go to warn someone and find they have already been given a last warning for any issue, contact an admin, as that user most likely needs to be blocked for their latest misdemeanor." His unfair last warning will affect more that him doing that stunt: it will affect any other offence he may commit in the future. 17:54, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Alright, I get what you're saying. By this point, I certainly hope he's learned from that (it's been almost two years, after all), and I suppose the block itself was enough of a punishment. He hasn't had any major problems since, and since the warning and block came at the same time, I'll remove it. You're right, getting blocked for being on a last warning despite said warning happening during a block doesn't make sense. 18:03, May 30, 2019 (EDT)

Heading text
Sorry Sorry for messing up the Mega Mushroom page. I was trying to add it's artwork from Mario Kart Tour

This edit
Why did you alter that user's comment? The rules state that, per the warning policy, that you can only edit comments to fix coding and to enforce policy. Removing that part of the user's comment is like fixing other user's spelling errors in their comments. 19:12, June 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * It was clearly intended to be the header. I could've just swapped it to be the header text instead, but I'll just put it back I guess.

Tips on good editing
Hey, Alex. Sorry to bother you, but I'm a new editor to MarioWiki and I would like some tips on how to contribute effectively to this wiki. Could you offer me some advice to become a better editor? NinjaPirateZombieRobot (talk) 09:58, June 2, 2019 (EDT)

Moon (Super Mario Maker 2)
Hey! Can you undelete Moon (Super Mario Maker 2)? I have work to do on it. -- 12:27, June 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Just recreate it. Reason it was deleted was because it didn't have a lot of information. You can make it again if you have more to add. 12:30, June 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * It is specifically due to if so, it will overwrite the previous history, which will be lost forever. ;) -- 12:32, June 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's fine, tbh. There isn't anything worth keeping. 12:34, June 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * You remember the Mario Kart redirects? They were restored to preserve their previous history. -- 12:40, June 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Because they had history worth keeping. 12:41, June 3, 2019 (EDT)

Owencrazyboys
It is not that they both start with the same regular name, it is that they both end with "crazyboy" followed by a number. Both names are spelt the same too. It is just too many coincidences to be one. 17:08, June 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's also totally possible that this new person had the same idea as the first Owencrazyboy, but used a different number. I'm not the only user with "Alex" followed by a number, though was a direct impersonator. If they start actually claiming to be Owencrazyboy9 outside of a password request, then there will be an issue.  17:13, June 5, 2019 (EDT)

Should I reupload these images?
File:Super Mario 3D World Climbing Cat Mario.png and File:SM3DWgrass.png are terrible quality. However, they appear to be pre-release with a few minor differences from the current game (e.g., the sign in the background of the Cat Mario picture). Since the galleries that link to these images do not dicuss the pre-release content of these images, should I replace these images, upload new ones alongside (like we did with File:SM3DW Bullet Bill Base E3.png and File:SM3DW Bullet Bill Base.jpg), or just leave them as-is? Here are my new images for comparison: https://imgur.com/a/gSqfPB7 -- 16:55, June 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * The quality isn't "terrible" in the slightest. But if they contain content that isn't in the final game, they should be kept, though moved to a pre-release content section or the List of Super Mario 3D World pre-release and unused content page. A final version should be uploaded separately and replace them in the gallery/articles. 16:58, June 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ok, done. Thanks! -- 17:58, June 6, 2019 (EDT)

Hey
I just created an account.

Could you help me so i can get started :Yoshi Fan 08

Laptop
My dad recently got a laptop, but I don't know if I'll be able to edit my account onto it. I tried clearing my Google cache and force stopping Google, but I can't enter it. I want to use my original account, but I don't know if I can. Hopefully, I can do something about it with the laptop. Lord Falafel 2 (talk) 11:27, June 7, 2019 (EDT)

I am not able to log into Lord Falafel with this phone, no. Maybe if I had my previous phone, but this one physically cannot access my tablet account. Lord Falafel 2 (talk) 11:40, June 7, 2019 (EDT)

If you say so. But please don't demote me. Lord Falafel 2 (talk) 11:48, June 7, 2019 (EDT)

Old Account
Mariofan360 is my older, unused account. I can't seem to find a template for old accounts in the Admin noticeboard. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 10:01, June 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Taken care of. There isn't really a template for this specifically, but telling an admin for this is best anyway. 11:02, June 8, 2019 (EDT)

Black and White Yoshi
If this wiki were to talk about how to unlock Black and White Yoshi in Yoshi's Story, would you prefer it be discussed on the Yoshi's Story article or on the articles about the levels where the Black Yoshi Egg and White Yoshi Egg can be found? Dwhitney (talk) 14:10, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Both. I'd also say to add it to Black and White Yoshis' articles, but they got merged, so whelp. 16:07, June 9, 2019 (EDT)

Username change
I put up a request to change my username about ten hours ago, and I am eligable for a name change now, and I've still gotten no response. How long does it take for it to actually happen? Best Fitness Friends (talk) 17:07, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Whenever a bureaucrat gets around to it. If nothing happens in a week, you can directly message one if you wish. 20:34, June 9, 2019 (EDT)

Corrupted GIFs
Hi, I recently uploaded a GIF here on the wiki and it seems to cause the the page to load indefinitely, is there a way I or someone else can fix this? oops forgot to leave my signature --CastleResearch (talk) 12:27, June 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * It took a bit to load for me as well, but it's just a gif thing. I don't think there's a way to fix it, since it has to load all the frames.
 * Honestly, does the image need to be a gif? 12:29, June 10, 2019 (EDT)

You have a point. --CastleResearch (talk) 12:31, June 10, 2019 (EDT)

Petapeta images
Given that the moves were unecessary (i hope the Beamer enemies models i uploaded won't be moved), should they be moved back? -- 11:29, June 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * If the moves were unnecessary in the first place, then moving them back is just as unnecessary.
 * The new names are actually clearer, tbh. 11:39, June 12, 2019 (EDT)

Hard Time
Hi Alex, it's RMV. I'm having a really hard time at the moment, and I have difficulty with collaborating with others. If only things were like they once were, else I would have never blown my reputation. I am having problems thinking through my actions, and it's shown on this wiki, due to the difficult spot that I'm in. Results May Vary (talk) 15:41, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * I am sorry about that, but I've really given you all the advice I can. There's no point dwelling on the problem, press onward. I can still help you with wiki matters, but there's nothing more I can do for you otherwise. 15:45, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sigh... Ever since I got involved with the Zelda Wiki thing, things have gone south for me, and I've made really bad choices that I regret a lot, and even corrupt. Hoping that from the edits you've seen today, that I'm still the same person you know and I am hoping to face my inner demons or whatever is trying to influence my conscience. Results May Vary (talk) 01:42, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I didn't close my DMs just so you could come onto my talk page about this. I really don't have anything more to say about this matter, because I'm not sure how else to help. You are still a great editor and know a lot, and I would still like to work with you on projects. Just please get some help. 10:57, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I know. I realize that I have some responsibilities, such as managing Jiggywikki to coincide with the Smash Ultimate hype. There would be no time to act immature and upset, especially as a committed editor. I need to stay on the right path with people & not be angry at others. Quite a few consequences can stem from that, and ultimately nobody is happy; all we want to do is edit a wiki without the drama. (p.s. starfoxwiki.com can be a redirect domain to starfoxwiki.info if ever the time comes -- i just personally need my own sandbox wiki for now). Do you agree with what i'm saying? obviously time will prove how sincere my statements are & my motives Results May Vary (talk) 19:15, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I do hope you get better, and I agree with that. Banjo, though, that's amazing! I hope Jiggywikki gets some traffic out of that :) 19:19, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * You're always welcome to join in on the jiggywikki fun. tacopill gets more ad revenue with more activity :) Results May Vary (talk) 19:22, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Considering I don't have anything related to Banjo-Kazooie, I don't have much of a reason to edit :P But if you need help with something, I definitely can do that. 19:25, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

In regards to the recent move...
The file move of Shieragutchi WL4 to WL4-Shieragucchi Sprite was not really to specify whether or not it was a sprite, but rather because the original file misspelled Shieragucchi (as Shieragutchi). Trig - 21:21, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I immediately noticed that after I hit save, so I was like "Welp, too late now!" 00:03, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

Would you mind reverting this guy's model rip request edits please? -- 11:27, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Was just the one other, as far as I can tell. 11:35, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

Template:Octogoombas
Hey! Since this proposal failed, can you undelete Template:Octogoombas? It has an important history IIRC. -- 02:43, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * That template was literally just the cateogy in template form, it was only on around five pages. Not worth keeping. 15:40, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * I remember there being a split between the bosses and species, making it not just a category in template form. Plus there would be seven pages on the template (five species two bosses) and the template avoided Template:Goombas from being too crowded as if the template does not return the Octoombas will have to go on that template. So it is worth keeping. 16:43, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * As a matter of fact, not all of them count as Goombas, and the ones that do are debatable anyways. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:00, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * I really don't see the point of making tiny navboxes just to take a few links off of a bigger one. -- 17:22, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * The template is not exclusively useful for that reason alone. The template is also useful to help readers go between related articles quickly in one spot. 17:26, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * I agree with Doomhiker. We're starting to miss the point of navigation boxes: they are meant to make navigation easier. 17:31, June 15, 2019 (EDT)

Well, this was a number of notifications. Like Doomhiker said, there were only seven articles in the template. Navigation templates are meant to help with a large number of articles, a simple way of navigating between them. Seven articles is not a lot, navigation can be done through the category easily and it is immediately noticible what they all are and what their roles are. There's no hard limit on how many entries should be in a navigation template, but less than ten doesn't seem like a good number to me. 22:24, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Except that most non-user readers likely do not know how to acsess and to use categories, with the exception of the rare pages that directly tell the user to go to them. Templates are obvious in how to use them and what they are for, and they are on the same page as the subject making them easily acsessable. 07:12, June 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * From Navigation templates: "if a group of species only has a few members, a template might be excessive, especially if it is only a minor assortment of species and characters." I'm saying no, there are not enough members in the template. Aside from the basic Octogoomba, they only cover the Super Mario Galaxy games and can still be found in their respective templates. Species templates should be for major and multi-series-wide species, like Koopas. Octogoombas is too minor. 10:50, June 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think we should have a specific number rather than just "a few". I was thinking five, but ten works much better. 11:00, June 16, 2019 (EDT)

Signature
Is this a good signature 06:04, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yep, looks good. 15:40, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, your sig got edited. "YoshiFan08 (edits)(talk)SMW2yoshi.gif" looks fine to me, though also has that gif in his sig :P  15:51, June 15, 2019 (EDT)

Thank you=) 18:20, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, your signature cannot contain major raw code. Please see Signatures and Help:Signature to see how to properly make a complex signature with a signature subpage. 20:07, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's something to tell them on their page, not mine. 22:24, June 15, 2019 (EDT)

I created my signature.
 * I noticed :P 17:22, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

Yoshi Egg
LinkTheLefty requested a citation be added for proof of "egg" being capitalized in "Yoshi Egg" on the Yoshi Egg article, saying he hasn't seen proof of it. I couldn't find proof of it, either. You said "Yoshi Egg" is the most recent name, but can you confirm that? Dwhitney (talk) 11:17, June 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * I was going off of what was there on the page. I said that before the citation was added. I'll check if any of my guides have it when I can, maybe double check with the game scripts some time. 11:22, June 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * For the record, "Yoshi egg" is from Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy 2 at least, and "Yoshi's Egg" isn't new. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:45, June 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * Not finding anything in my guides. 10:51, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

IP question
Hi, would you mind checking if this IP (the one whose edits you reverted recently) is evding their ban? I'm just asking because two of their habits appear to be telltale signs: edits to articles related to Super Mario 64 DS, and adding unnecessary terms. 15:20, June 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * I checked when they were editing, and again now. There's no solid connection. 15:54, June 17, 2019 (EDT)

Something urgent
Get borp from the Mario boards. Tell him to send a message on my talk page. Please. It's urgent. Lord Falafel (talk) 17:48, June 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * Er, I did, but is this something I should know about? 17:50, June 17, 2019 (EDT)

I guess. He's responsible for creating the arcade coverage forums on the Mario boards by finding all those arcade games by Banpresto, Konami, Sunwise and Fabtek. I was hoping he'd create pages on all the games he found that don't already have their own pages. Lord Falafel (talk) 18:04, June 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * He's not much of an active editor anymore, but maybe. 18:05, June 17, 2019 (EDT)

He said he made the threads so others could help with the article creation, since he's not involved in editing anymore.

Wario and Tatanga
It is never said or even implied in any official source that Tatanga was working for Wario all along. Every official source from the KC deluxe manga to the character encyclopedia's say he became a henchman of Wario after his scheme to marry daisy was foiled. Delsait (talk)
 * "These Golden Coins are guarded by those under Wario's spell."
 * This was in the reference you removed, which implies that Tatanga is also under the spell. It's from the game's manual.
 * What sources are you finding? 22:15, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * That implies Tatanga may have been hypnotized in the events of Super Mario Land 2, not that he was hynptozied in the events of the first Super Mario Land. The Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia and the Super Mario (Kodansha manga) manga all say Tatanga applied for the job as henchman recently to get revenge on Mario. The Land 2 guidebook which had new artwork also makes no mention of Tatanga invading Sarasaland under Wario's orders. Delsait (talk) 22:19, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, Super Mario Land 2 is the point here. There may be more info on being hired over being hypnotized, but that doesn't mean we can disregard one or the other. Should say Tatanga is hypnotized according to the manual, but was hired according to everything else, at least. 22:33, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Anyhow Tatanga being hired to kidnap Daisy in the events of Super Mario Land 1 is speculation with no basis in any media and deserves to be kept off the page. Tatanga possibly being hypnotized could be worthy of a mention, but Tatanga being Wario's henchman all along needs to be kept off until a source is given. Delsait (talk) 22:35, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * What? Pretty sure it said somewhere that Tatanga was hired as a distraction so Wario could take over Mario's Castle (that also directly contradicts the hypnotism thing). I just checked our SML2 manual, and the only mention it makes of Tatanga is at the beginning, but makes not connection to Wario. So that's not where I heard it from... 22:41, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Nope Tatanga being hired by Wario as a distraction is simply a fabrication that has been on wikipedia and similar pages for who knows how long(I remember seeing it in 2008), yet no source from the manual to even the mangas supports this. You can see the discussion on it in the Tatanga talk page on our wiki. There's more support for the Giant spear man switching sides to Wario then Wario organizing the Sarasaland invasion. Delsait (talk) 22:45, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Well... That's disappointing. I guess I was one of those that looked to deep into it ^^; The line in the manual does seem to imply that Wario had some control over Tatanga, but I suppose that would be the spell of greed rather than an actual magical spell. 22:49, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Anyhow if the Giant spear man possibly switching sides to Wario can't be mentioned because its speculation, then the same people should apply to Tatanga working for Wario in the events of Super Mario Land 1. Delsait (talk) 22:51, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, honestly, that last line can just be removed. "His motivation for doing so is unclear." gives us no information and "Possibly indicating he switched sides to Wario." is pure speculation. Both are unhelpful. 22:54, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

Links
Please make sure Mario jc clicks those links you sent me and reads everything on those pages. He's not responding to me. He wants my citations, but they're right there, in that discussion post on my talk page. Please lead him to them. Lord Falafel (talk) 10:53, June 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * By the time you told him to do so, he went offline. The message you already sent on his talk page should be enough. But you need to be referring to proper sources yourself. 11:18, June 19, 2019 (EDT)

About to quit
I don't care what happens to my additions anymore. You're all wanting sources from me and the only way I'm adding them is by reading their code and putting that reference in another place. I can't take the torture anymore. I'm doing my best to cite my sources and I put the information in the summaries and Mario jc says that's not enough. I gave you sources to so many games, but no one has time to look at that. I'm about to give up, so please encourage me to keep going. I don't know if I can deal with the constant stress. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:32, June 19, 2019 (EDT)

Stoopid Koopa
I never said that they were lying. I said that they could be lying, which is always the case, as anyone can lie at any time. 18:04, June 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * Still a bit of a harsh accusation that could make them not want to continue editing. 18:06, June 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * I did not accuse them, though. Accusing them would be saying that they did lie. I just said that they could of lied. 18:10, June 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * Right, sorry. Accusation wasn't the right word, "hypothetical" would've fit better. 18:15, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

Chat
When will Wii(see what i did there)be able to chat. P.S I'm avilable right now.

Now's not the NESt time. But I can chat. How are you? Lord Falafel (talk) 09:44, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm always up for a chat, though a wiki talk page isn't the best place for that :P Mainly in Discord, but I can come into the irc later and Switch it up a bit. 10:30, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

OK. I,m avilable right now. Let's-a-chat.
 * I'm not usually ready to talk at four in the morning :P 11:43, June 22, 2019 (EDT)

(replying to Lord Falafel) Are you avilible right now? It's like 5:30 right now in my area. P.S I'm having trouble with chat right now.

Please block my old account
Hello Alex, I had had troubles logging in with my old George Jones account. I forgot my password and I didn't have an email attached to it to reset my password. So I'm asking you to block my old account Which is George Jones. White Lightning (talk) 14:16, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Do you have an email of any kind? Even if it's not attached to the account, Porple can still give you a password reset. 14:17, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

I have one associated to my Marioboards account. I didn't know that a password reset was possible if I didn't have one attached to my account. But, I'm thinking on using this one from now on. Well, I still have stuff to learn about the Wiki. White Lightning (talk) 14:21, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can get your old account back, so you should do so. You can then request a name change if you want to at Changing username. 14:22, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

Okay, I was just being kind of stupid, but when I get my account back, I will need a 'crat to rename this one so I can use it for my old one. So, I guess I will contact Porple on the forums. Yeah I lost the password due to my Wii U, my device that I had my password on decided to decide to put an error code for this site. If my Wii U didn't do it, I wouldn't be in this mess. So I'll contact him. Thank you for your help White Lightning (talk) 14:44, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

Electronic tabletop pinball
I added the correct citations for the electronic pinball games based on super Mario world and donkey kong country and removed the wrong ones. However, the links to my citations are broken. Please read what they say and look that info up on Google and you will be able to find the pages. Once you do, select them, capture their urls and attach them to my broken links. Please help me. Lord Falafel (talk) 17:14, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * I finally found the Donkey Kong Country one, I think. But I can't find the Super Mario World one anywhere. 17:20, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

You did it! You indeed did find the donkey kong country pinball machine. Keep looking for the super Mario world one. It's there. It's on worthpoint. Maybe use a different platform. Like a phone or tablet or something. Lord Falafel (talk) 17:28, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * I tried "Super Mario World pinball", "Super Mario World electronic pinball", "Super Mario World Playtime pinball", "Super Mario World 1992"... All gave me either Super Mario World itself or the "Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World" pinball game. Is that the one you mean? 17:30, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

No, not super Mario bros mushroom world. Select Google and type in these keywords: super Mario world pinball playtime worthpoint. Scroll down the page of results until you come across a post on www.worthpoint.com that says it came out in 1992. Lord Falafel (talk) 17:40, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * This is the only Super Mario World-related pinball machine I am finding. I cannot find anything else. Telling me to keep trying is not bringing up any different results. 17:49, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

Select the link you gave me and scroll down to similar items. I just found it there. Lord Falafel (talk) 17:52, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Well then. 17:53, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

Excellent! Now with that out of the way, donkey kong (2005) by Namco is the next game to be sourced. It's on international arcade museum if (when you're in the site) you select all machines and then search donkey kong. Lord Falafel (talk) 18:00, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Another time. 18:16, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

Apparently, donkey kong (2005) doesn't exist. The pictures that are showing up on that page on international arcade museum are of the compilation known as donkey kong/donkey kong Jr/Mario bros. I'm removing donkey kong (2005) from the list of games organized by system. Lord Falafel (talk) 20:10, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * I said that's what it was earlier: "The Donkey Kong 2005 arcade cabinet looks more like a compilation and can just be covered on the respective games' articles, doesn't need its own." 20:25, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

At least all machines by Banpresto, Konami, Sunwise and Fabtek I know are official. The first one to have the source cited that borp didn't know about is super Mario seesaw takeover and I tried to link it and used every exact key to cite the machine, but it didn't work. I'll try it again. If the source is broken, I'll need you to fix it. Lord Falafel (talk) 20:38, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

The link isn't broken! Yes! Lord Falafel (talk) 20:48, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Is there *any* sort of screen on that thing? 20:51, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Screen? Lord Falafel (talk) 20:55, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes. A screen. Where the arcade game is displayed. 20:56, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

When I accessed the link on the list, I saw the machine on the left. Unless you mean a screen like on an arcade cabinet. If you mean that, this is an apparent mechanical seesaw that seems to operate when you put yen in the box. Lots of these arcade machines don't have screens. Most of them are mechanical. But there's yet another Mario kiddie ride and it's already on the list. It's called tobebe Mario and I had apparently misnamed it tori Mario. So, I fixed that mistake I made on the list a while back. It also doesn't have a screen. But enough of that. Rather than capturing the website for tobebe Mario, I need you to only capture the appropriate image. It is a close up of the ride from the front. Cape Mario is the Mario part of the ride, but this image only shows the front of the ride. Mario has closed fists and there's some damage. Use the Google search engine to look up @yamapen3. Then look at images. One of the first images should show it and those characters from the yo-kai watch anime on the sides of the image. Select that image and then select related images and hopefully it shows you the close up image of the ride I told you about. And the website is once again Yahoo! Japan. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:12, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

The title of the image will partially be in Japanese, but the stuff I can read says cocolulujp2000. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:14, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * ...Before I do anything else, I'm making this clear: The list of games is meant for that. Games. Not kiddie rides. Cabinets with screens and you input controls. That is what an arcade machine is. Not a mechanical ride you sit on. So unless you can play a game on these rides, with a screen and controls like you would see for Donkey Kong, the seesaw and tobebe things are to be removed. 21:17, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

First, I need the jpg for tobebe Mario so I can access it easier, please. Second, so I can access it on this talk page. Third, where will these go? I suppose I can put them on another platform on the list of games organized by system. But what should I call it? Lord Falafel (talk) 21:24, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Because the next 2 machines I'm telling you about are battery cars that you ride and they automatically drive on a course and aren't kiddie rides. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:26, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

I'll just make 2 more platform articles: kiddie ride and battery car. I have to keep the machines on this list because they have nowhere else to go and they're not toys. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:30, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Maybe I'll find the links later.
 * I don't know where they would go, but they can't go on that list. These are not games, and we don't exactly have a list of officially licensed rides. Perhaps one could be made, but I don't imagine that being a big list. Next best is Gallery:Miscellaneous_merchandise, but they aren't exactly merchandise I think. 21:33, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Please send me the jpg for tobebe Mario and I will try to figure out where these rides and battery cars should go. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:46, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

I'll wait for the jpg. I'll tell you the information regarding those 2 battery cars. They are the Mario and yoshi versions of super Mario ride and they can be found on Google images if you search @yamapen3 Mario. Since they're battery cars, people can sit in them on seats. They're not pinned on a stand, they drive on an outdoor pavement. They both came out in 1993 exclusively in Japan and were made by Banpresto. The Mario version is a yellow battery car and it has a small Mario figure built on the top and on the front of the car is a white circle with a red M in the center. The yoshi version is green and uses yoshi's body as the base. The front of the machine is obviously yoshi's head. But on the left of the car are a built on galoomba under a toad head that has a candy cane-like patterned mushroom top and growing out of that top is a mushroom. Since I described them, it'll be easier to find them. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:28, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry. The toad head is next to the galoomba. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:31, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'll get to it tomorrow, maybe. Dealing with a number of things right now. 22:31, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Image Replacement
About the image you replaced here... The correct file name is "Bowser and Bowser Jr.jpg". You left out the word "and". Would you mind fixing it? Power Flotzo (talk) 18:43, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Whoops, fixed. 18:47, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

Questions
First question. If an editor is banned from the super Mario wiki or any other NIWA wiki, can they still look at the wiki? Lord Falafel (talk) 21:31, June 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can view a wiki even if you are banned on it. You just can't edit it. 00:39, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Second question. If an editor's Google account is terminated, can said editor still access his wiki account after creating another Google account? Lord Falafel (talk) 01:00, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * The wiki account is not tied to Google, only to the wiki. 01:01, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Third question. Will an editor get banned if he retires? Lord Falafel (talk) 01:08, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * No, you don't get blocked for simply leaving. Blocking is only used to prevent or stop a problem. 01:11, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Not to sound like a psychopath, but just curious. Have any super Mario wiki members died other than walkazo? Lord Falafel (talk) 01:19, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Not sure. I think a few have, but none come to mind. Off Mario Wiki, I know about Axiomist and Matthew Pyke. Life goes on. 01:23, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Because I sent walkazo my condolences. Next question. How many individuals have been banned from the super Mario wiki? Lord Falafel (talk) 01:27, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * I have absolutely no idea XD 01:31, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Alright, I think that's everything. I hope I'm not spamming your talk page. Lord Falafel (talk) 01:35, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * All good ^^ 01:37, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

I have another question: was the super Mario wiki the first NIWA wiki? Lord Falafel (talk) 16:56, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * It, Zelda Wiki, and Bulbapedia are what formed the NIWA group. You can learn more about that at Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance and the various related links. 17:01, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Help
Is the an easier way to but up user boxes?
 * Everything you need to know about userboxes is described at Userboxes. 12:10, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

A ride and battery cars
The electronic tabletop pinball talk page is moving far away from electronic tabletop pinball machines. When you have found the jpg for tobebe Mario, post it on this talk page. I want it to be sent in a more appropriate place. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:58, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * I found both a YouTube video and a JPG of the Cape Mario ride, but I think I found this one earlier. 12:21, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

It's because of that stupid picture on the ride that @yamapen3 put on there that we can't include that certain jpg on any list or page. But there's another video of that ride that you can find on Google images and it's posted by someone with a Japanese username and shows the ride moving and the title screen theme from super Mario world is being generated by that ride and there are pitch errors in this rendition of the theme. But the video you gave me is enough to prove that this ride exists. If you have time, please give me the jpg of tobebe Mario with no anime girl in it that I said is on Yahoo! Japan. Next, I need the jpegs for both versions of super Mario ride without any anime girls. But they were probably posted by the same people. Lord Falafel (talk) 13:32, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * Spent about an hour searching and I'm coming up with nothing. I don't know how you found these, but since you seem to know where to look, I recommend waiting until you have proper access to a computer so you can copy the links correctly. Progress was made here, but I can't keep spending my time to look for obscure Japanese stuff when I have much more important things I need to be doing. I'll help you with wiki matters, but this is rather tedious. I'm sorry, but I have to be done here. 14:42, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

Wait. How did you send me those pictures? Lord Falafel (talk) 15:28, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * I didn't. I said I couldn't find them. 15:30, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

No, the pictures you sent me. Lord Falafel (talk) 15:41, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * Uh, everything I've found I've shown by hyperlinks here. 15:42, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

What's a hyperlink? Lord Falafel (talk) 15:47, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * This. 15:50, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

What were you searching up when looking for that Mario stuff? Lord Falafel (talk) 22:11, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * "Use the Google search engine to look up @yamapen3. Then look at images. One of the first images should show it and those characters from the yo-kai watch anime on the sides of the image. Select that image and then select related images and hopefully it shows you the close up image of the ride I told you about. And the website is once again Yahoo! Japan." I did this. Nothing different showed up. 01:07, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

Sometimes it's hard to find that image of tobebe Mario. I struggle finding it a lot. But do it every day and you'll find it. While scrolling down through the related images, keep on scrolling slowly. Lord Falafel (talk) 01:28, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

Lord Falafel
He is asking to me to find a picture with a rideable Japanese Cape Mario sent by his friend, and won't give up. I tried to look for it for the past hour, but nothing came to it. What should we do? Is it a comparable: Hamshamcart repeatedly asking for model rips? -- 01:46, June 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Nevermind, i got a screenshot of the above link's video. Also, i see he also told you to do it for him. -- 02:24, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

Fan of Yoshi
Did I do something wrong? I told him I found the image on Google images and he had the edits page on his username which says bad username given. Please tell me what happened. Lord Falafel (talk) 16:54, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

Solution
I found an easier way to find those battery cars. @yamapen3 still needs to be typed and entered into Google images, but there's a color option that you can click to see the images you want to regarding their color. You wanna help me test this? If so, you'll need to read the details of the battery cars I sent you, look up @yamapen3 on Google images, choose red for the Mario battery car and green for the yoshi battery car, look for pictures of those battery cars with no anime girls in the pictures, send me the images, wait for me to see if they're the right ones and if so, the next step will be to turn those images into jpg or png files and then I'll put those images in the miscellaneous merchandise section. And then we can finally get them out of the way. I don't know who else to ask. Lord Falafel (talk) 00:00, June 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * There is no color option. 13:41, June 27, 2019 (EDT)

That sucks, cuz there's one for me. There are different colored rectangles. I guess they're exclusive to mobile. Lord Falafel (talk) 20:57, June 28, 2019 (EDT)

Hey, Look what i got for you
On Hot Wheels.com i found Mario Kart related Hot Wheels cars and playsets.
 * Yeah, I saw Nintendo's announcement on that the other day. Didn't see the other sets, though. Pretty cool! 17:23, June 27, 2019 (EDT)

I'm glad you like them=).

Guess What...
I got Super Mario Maker 2! Do you have it yet? If so, here's one of my levels ID code, 7NT-HBG-WWF FireyYoshi (talk) 10:03, June 29, 2019 (EDT) FireyYoshi

Courtesy
violated the courtesy policy by creating Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo Switch) without asking for permission from me first, since I was the one who proposed it. I was going to give them a warning, but since they've already had a last warning and were blocked, I wasn't sure what to do. Can you sort this out for me? -- 18:37, June 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the quick response. The page can stay, I'm working on cleaning it up right now. -- 18:50, June 29, 2019 (EDT)

It's the annoying file guy again (and again and again and again)
Hello. Seeing as you respond best to these types of questions, I was wondering if you could help me a little bit here. As I tried to wrap up Mario Party 8, there were a few files that were left that were too big for me to feel good about attempting to accomplish. These files are as follows:
 * File:YoshiMP8a.PNG (make lowercase) (Now found at File:YoshiMP8.png)
 * File:MarioMP8a.PNG (make lowercase) (Now found at File:MarioMP8.png)
 * File:ICONYOSHI.png (rename to MP8 Yoshi Icon to be consistent with other renames, for capitalization and specific game naming) (Now found at File:MP8 Yoshi Icon.png)

I was unsure as whether just ask you or someone with similar 'replace text' powers to move these files, or to have a full proposal on the matter. They are fairly popular pages, after all. Thank you for your time. Trig - 13:45, June 30, 2019 (EDT)


 * No need for a proposal. I'll take care of the links when I can. Those are used in user signatures, which makes a lot of links to the image. 16:13, June 30, 2019 (EDT)

Edited on - 16:57, July 13, 2019 (EDT) by Trig Jegman to include correct file names

Hello it's me again. I was wondering if you would allow me to use my test image as a part of my file name changing demonstration on your talk page here. It would be created as a new section below. Should anyone else want to be a part of the test, please feel free to respond below this here as well. Trig - 22:04, July 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * I would prefer any tests you'd like to happen not be on my talk page. I'm not sure what test you have in mind, but any tests should be in your own userspace, not someone else's (your own talk, sandbox, etc.). 23:18, July 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * The goal was to have the image linked to more than one page (my own), to show the different ways a file may be used on a page to be changed if someone needed to. Luckily, someone else was happy to help this demonstration. See this segment for more information. User:Trig Jegman - 08:02, July 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Alright, that all looks pretty good. 10:45, July 5, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry for not ever going away, but I was curious as to whether or not it would be okay to tag my notes section with similarly to how Wildgoosespeeder's Quality Request or The RAP test apply theirs? Quite a few of mine deal with the quality of images, and even nod to specific ones. Trig - 19:24, July 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * No need to apologize for asking a question ^^ Theirs' are on talk pages, which allow the list to be edited by others. If you want to add a list of images that need fixing, that's fine. But others need to be able to adjust it. 19:27, July 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Probably need to look into make a sandbox or two at some point soon. Got a lot of stuff to work out. Thanks a bundle. Trig - 19:43, July 6, 2019 (EDT)

Was looking at the wanted pages section and found Talk:List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door beta elements had a few links. Since this was changed to Talk:List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content, I was like oh well let's change it to look the same but link to the right place instead! ...and most of it is old shroom stuff I can't touch. I was wondering if you could replace said links to correctly route as such: Talk:List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door beta elements. Trig - 18:17, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sure. 18:21, July 9, 2019 (EDT)

I have the page for Plunger written and ready to go, but still would like its Talk page deleted. Nothing paper mario links through it, as it seems to have been a search based redirect, and it is not necessary for the enemy. I will add an about temp just in case. Trig - 17:12, July 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * There's no reason to get rid of the talk page. The main page, while no longer an actual article, still exists, and any discussion can still continue on the talk page as is. 17:16, July 10, 2019 (EDT)

Much like existential dread, I never seem to go away. Today's 'how-to-approach" is the file File:Super Mario Galaxy NA Box Art.jpg. The name of this file is pretty bad and I would most prefer it as "Super Mario Galaxy NA Box Art.jpg". The problem is that a majority of it is a user image. Should I propose it? Should I try and see if the legendary all-seeing all-knowing Porplemontage will help? If not either, how should I approach this issue? Trig - 16:57, July 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Wow, that is exactly 100 pages. As per our Category:To be deleted page, userspace does not need to be edited to fix links, that's mainly up to the owner. I edit sigs anyway, because those can be transcluded to a number of pages and can be fixed with a single edit. You can leave those links broken or talk to Porple for a bot edit so it doesn't send a userspace notification, up to you. 12:09, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

Hey, so what's the deal with File:Pauline background.jpg and File:SMO Art - Pauline Card.jpg? Yeah, they're different sizes but besides that they are the same image. Do we really need both, or can we chuck one of them to the trash? Trig - 21:52, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Nah, keep both. One's an extended background. 21:56, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

Would it be okay to replace File:Bowser on Koopa King kart MKDD.png, a BJAODN-only image, with the virtually identical File:Bowser and Jr Mushroom City MKDD.png? I don't think having both is necessary (and the latter is better named). Trig - 15:25, July 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * The reason why I kept both is because the first one is humorously edited. I explain why here. 17:17, July 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * "("This file was edited to remove the spikes on the front-right wheels, despite everything else still having the spikes, including the opposite wheels, to look... less menacing, I guess? This is what the image is supposed to look like.)"

The description of the file in BJAODN explains its entire purpose. -- 17:25, July 26, 2019 (EDT)

Content to be removed
There is a lot of unofficial stuff on the list of merchandise. Unless it was acknowledged by Nintendo, it does not need to be on there and thus should be removed. Lord Falafel (talk) 10:05, July 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * Which ones? 12:04, July 1, 2019 (EDT)

They can be found on ornaments, tattoos and textiles in the miscellaneous merchandise section. Lord Falafel (talk) 00:51, July 2, 2019 (EDT)

I removed what I could. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:17, July 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * If they're truly unofficial, the image should be marked for deletion rather than just removed (I'll take care of that). 22:59, July 3, 2019 (EDT)

Stretch
Oh, i intended the disambiguation to have an identifier if Toadette the Achiever moved the page. -- 12:32, July 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * If there's only two members, a separate page doesn't need to be made. 12:33, July 1, 2019 (EDT)

Happy 4th of July!

Arcade games
Hi, there. We have 3 arcade games left to give credible sources to. They are numbers 10, 15 and 16. If you're interested in helping, then awesome. They should be easy to find if you search @yamapen3 Mario on Google images. Easier than it is to find the battery cars. If you want to help, please let me know. I'll give you the basics. I don't want to go too in depth. Lord Falafel (talk) 20:13, July 4, 2019 (EDT)

RE:Renaming for clarity
I meant "RFC" as in "renamed for consistency," as that's apparently how Trig Jegman uses that abbreviation lately. I renamed those files mostly to be consistent with most of the other YWW enemy images. I wanted them all to be in the format "YWW Enemy Name.jpg" to make them easier to keep track of when adding to pages. I plan to upload about 20-30 new ones that will all be in that format. Also, many of the enemies appear in multiple games, such as SMW2:YI, so I felt that having them named "Enemy Name.jpg" wasn’t specific enough, especially with how distinct the appearances of objects in YWW are. -- 00:42, July 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I recently changed RFC to be consistency to further distinguish it from RFA (renamed for accuracy), as a majority of the ones I was doing was somewhat the same. I don't expect to change any more of my terms anytime soon though. Sorry bout that. Trig - 10:07, July 6, 2019 (EDT)

"BigTiddy" account name
While "tiddy" can mean small, the phrase "big tiddy" is indeed a memetic alternate way of saying "large breasts." Now, I don't think it really deserves a ban, but just saying. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:57, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I only looked up "tiddy", because I wasn't sure what that meant. But looking up "big tiddy" now is bringing up a lot of big breasted goth girl memes, so... Hmm, I'll talk it over with the others, I guess. 17:04, July 9, 2019 (EDT)

Bull's-Eye Blaster
Hey, can you please add your two cents on the this talk page? I figure the article needs another proposal to be restored, but Doc thinks we should just go ahead in this case. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:18, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sure. 18:21, July 9, 2019 (EDT)

Issue
We have a serious problem. The super Mario world and donkey kong country pinball machine images have been removed from the list. We must get them back. Lord Falafel (talk) 23:05, July 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'd hardly call that a serious problem, but I found some quick replacements. Linked to the actual auction page rather than a direct image, though we could use a more solid source. 01:23, July 10, 2019 (EDT)

Name change
Is their a way I can change my username??? 16:34, July 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * Changing username. 16:53, July 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks! 17:10, July 10, 2019 (EDT)

@yamapen3 arcade games
Should something happen to me, I want you to have the basics regarding the remaining arcade games in a shorter note than my missing games discussion board on the list of games. Pika Pika Mario will be in between a sailor moon arcade game and a set of stairs. Super Mario's Rock-Paper-Scissors will have hands all over it and OXX lights as well as figurines of Mario and Yoshi on the top that look like what they do on the Mario undoukai machine. And Guru Guru Mario will have a red number 14 on the top right. These can be found on Google images in the related images of tobetobe Mario as well as the related images of each other. If you search @yamapen3 on Google images, tobetobe Mario should be one of the first images. Select it and look through the related images. If one pops up, good. If the other 2 don't, look at that image's related images. Lord Falafel (talk) 00:33, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't know what you're thinking would happen to you, but okay, I'll look back at this later. 12:10, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm not finding anything even close to those descriptions. 13:46, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

Also, I need help with an image. The way the super Mario 64 electronic pinball image is a jpg image on our site and not a link to some weird website, I need that done with the super Mario club image that is the first image on an imgur link that has the super Mario club title screen as the first image that appears. It's the image with Japanese text over a black background. I don't want that link to be in the image section. I want the image itself in the image section. Why? Two reasons: it makes logical sense to have an image there of that title screen and below the image on the imgur post, there are some suggestive images. I don't want to get kicked off the wiki for uploading links with inappropriate images, nor do I want people to see those bad images. I want someone to help me screencap that first image and turn it into a jpg file for and on the wiki. But I don't know who to ask for help. The link is on super Mario club's page. The TV series, not the debugging program. Lord Falafel (talk) 18:10, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm not in the right state of mind to focus on looking through internet databases at the moment, so I'll get to it when I can. 18:29, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

We got the super Mario club logo uploaded. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:19, July 15, 2019 (EDT)

A quick question
I've issued a warning to TheRaoul1992 due to removing the new subject template to pages directly after a game has been released, and not a decade after. I now kinda think that warning was unecessary. Is it a problem? -- 11:01, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Considering they've been given a reminder for it already, nah. EDIT: Never mind, I just saw the appeal, we'll look over that. However, I was told / and are to be removed after a month, not a decade (that is way too long). There's no time frame actually set in stone, but directly after release is too soon, yes.  12:13, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, of no fault of FanOfYoshi, TheRaoul1992's reminder and warning are kind of invalid as the text on the upcoming template both implies that you can remove the template day 1 (See my proposal) and it does not give a removal date, so there was no way that Rauol could know that removing the template after a day was wrong, and the FanOfYoshi was right. 13:35, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

"Burning Bullet Bill"
They probably were referring to the Mad Bullet Bill. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:07, July 15, 2019 (EDT)

Bull's-Eye Bill
This discussion is giving us all headaches. Could you give some input on the discussion, as it's just going in circles at this point? 13:52, July 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * Uh, which discussion? The cancelled proposal? 16:01, July 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * The discussion directly above it. 16:09, July 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * ...Wow. Yeah, I'll read over it when I'm done with deletions. 16:12, July 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK, thanks! 16:16, July 15, 2019 (EDT)

Does it matter?
Hi. About borp's finds, I can click on the images and it will tell me the name of the jpg file name. Since the Mario boards forum is a subsidiary of the super Mario wiki, can I just add the jpg file name from the Mario boards to a gallery or something on the wiki without having to create a new file on the wiki? Will it already be available? Lord Falafel (talk) 19:18, July 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * A gallery will not display an image through a url, it will just display the url text. The image should be hosted on the wiki. 19:37, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

Should I move these files
Many of the files liked on Gallery:Nintendo 3DS are an absolute mess of filenames, some of the worst examples are File:Ss preview 23hq4.jpg.jpg and File:20110218 00005.jpg. However, many of them are linked on numerous Userpages. Is it worth moving them and breaking so many user pages, or should I leave files that are linked on a lot of userpages alone? Many of those user pages belong to inactive users and already have many broken filenames anyway. -- 14:13, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Move them. 14:15, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

New category
Should we make category: albums? Lord Falafel (talk) 16:04, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * What would it have? 16:20, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

Any missing albums from the list, which is possible. Lord Falafel (talk) 18:19, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, forgot we had a List of albums page. Everything there should be under Category:Music, though, so an albums category might be unnecessary. 18:27, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

Unprotect
Hi, would you mind unprotecting Scuttlebug? The page was semi-protected three-and-a-half years ago due to disruption by a 0.5x A Presses spammer, but no other vandalism has been detected since then, so I think it's okay to unprotect the page now. 23:33, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * TheFlameChomp took care of it because I was asleep. 11:52, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Alright, then how about this page? It hasn't been vandalized since late 2014. 12:20, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Done. 12:50, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

Opinion
What did you think about the super Mario bros movie? Lord Falafel (talk) 10:26, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's okay. Overly cheesy and not at all like Mario, but funny to watch at least once. 11:52, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

I thought it was awesome. Definitely worth watching again and again. But I respect your opinion. But yeah. Nothing like Mario. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:57, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

Re: SM64 Guide image

Help 2
TheDarkStar is trying to get me blocked just for forgetting stuff. I can't lose my privileges. Please help me. Lord Falafel (talk) 01:17, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

Dr. Mario World renders
I added the Dr. Mario World renders because they were transparent. I didn't notice their low resolution until I uploaded one, but decided to continue anyway due to their lack of a white background. 17:15, July 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Just because they're transparent doesn't mean their quality is any better. 17:37, July 23, 2019 (EDT)

Poochy and Nippy
I believe the Poochy and Nippy article should be titled "Poochy & Nippy," since that's how it is in Yoshi's Story. What do you think? Dwhitney (talk) 18:01, July 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Random YouTube videos agree with you, so sure. 18:06, July 26, 2019 (EDT)

Homecoming
Welcome back, Alex. It's good to have you here again. How was your camping trip? Lord Falafel (talk) 11:44, July 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Camping itself sucked, I'm never doing that again hopefully, at least not during the summer. But I had a lot of fun with friends at the group activities and learned a few things. Badly sunburned and still a little tired, but a great time all-around ^^ 11:50, July 29, 2019 (EDT)

I'm glad you had fun. Well, looks like we're all here. My sandbox is getting bigger and I added 3 Japanese TV shows. Ireallydontcare123456789 has been doing an amazing job at finding unreleased media and hopefully, we can get everything up on the wiki soon. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:55, July 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Awesome, I'll check it out later. 11:57, July 29, 2019 (EDT)

Block length
Wouldn't you have blocked this IP for two years instead seeing as how they've already received a one-year ban? 21:45, July 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Two years seems a little excessive for an IP, even if all they've done is vandalize. 21:47, July 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Okay, I was just a little uncertain. I guess maybe they will be blocked for two years if they vandalize next year...? 21:53, July 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Maybe. Depends on who blocks them, IP blocking is kind of arbitrary based on edits and blocker. Hopefully they don't even bother vandalizing next time. 21:56, July 30, 2019 (EDT)

Upload protection
Hi, is it okay to fully upload protect File:Proposals.png and File:FABanner.png? I just think that absolutely no-one has any business reuploading the file unless there's a new design that's community-approved. What do you think? 17:23, August 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think that sounds reasonable, but I'll make sure with the others first, in case there's a reason why it hasn't been done yet. 17:24, August 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sounds good. 17:26, August 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's done. 17:34, August 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, and I forgot to mention this. 12:29, August 10, 2019 (EDT)

Editing glitch
There's a typo on the Smash 3DS glitches page (Inside Green Hill Zone section to be specific), where when I changed the word destroyed (the word that was a typo), kept changing to the misspelled version. FireyYoshi (talk) 12:24, August 10, 2019 (EDT)FireyYoshi

Diddy Kong's death in the world of light
Please remove the info that shows exactly what happened to Diddy as he gets murdered by Galeem. It's so horrific to tolerate. Sakurai was so heartless to show him to die in front of eyes!

Hi, under Appeals/Archive 2, would you mind changing the "Mario7" section to "amended", as that case also fit the guideline of a formal notice template being amended. Thanks! 13:19, August 16, 2019 (EDT)
 * Changed. 13:25, August 16, 2019 (EDT)

Yoshi Comparison
Hey there, there has been disagreements with Yoshi's design comparison in his Physical description section, which image do you think works better for the article?



I was just wondering because I am not trying to start an edit war, thanks!

--Sdman213 - Profile 23:49, 18 August 2019 (EDT)
 * (I deleted the image on the right, but I guess Mister Wu wants to keep it :P) Definitely the left, though I think File:YoshiMP8art.png works better than both of them. However, the left and center images in that section should already be enough to depict Yoshi's changes; there's nothing different between the center image and the right image aside from art style. 00:07, August 19, 2019 (EDT)


 * Alright... so Use the MP8 for center and the Yoshi Excited image for the right for the comparison?

--Sdman213 - Profile 00:13, 19 August 2019 (EDT)
 * It really just needs the Super Mario World artwork and either the MP8 or excited image, imo. The color pencil-like image is accurate, sure, but it's specifically stylized for an event and not representative of any major changes. 00:17, August 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Great... updated accordingly with your suggestion

Donkey Kong 61
I think they passed the trying to learn line. Look at this edit. They, again, tried to readded Rortress, which is what they got blocked for in the first place. Plus, their second sandbox was a copy-and-paste of a template. I know that we should not assume bad faith, but in this case it may be assuming good faith too much. 21:24, August 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Taking a closer look a their edits, it involves a lot of random template placing along with whatever "Rortress" is. The template copy-paste is weird, but since it was only on the Sandbox, it wasn't detrimental. I was not aware of the deleted pages, I just saw those. With all that, the guy has offered nothing constructive at all and seems more interested in making jokes. 21:30, August 19, 2019 (EDT)

Help
Alex, I found a Japanese McDonald's game watch for Luigi's Hammer Toss. Ireallydontcare123456789 uploaded images of other Japanese McDonald's game watch games such as Mario's Egg Catch and Princess Toadstool's Castle Run. But he got mad and left the wiki. You must find him. Find out if he has a YouTube channel or a Facebook account or something. I tried getting in contact with him, but he didn't reply. We have to get him back. He needs to help us. He must upload that image. Lord Falafel (talk) 00:10, August 20, 2019 (EDT)

MarioLover54's block
Shouldn't MarioLover54's block be one month instead of three weeks, considering that he was blocked for 2 weeks before? 16:15, August 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * It was a minor thing he was reported on, and though he was blocked for it before, it only happened once.
 * Though he has pretty much only been on talk pages... 19:17, August 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * I reported more because they seemed to have learned nothing from their previous block (and talk page messages) than because of that one small thing. On its own, I would have simply reverted and not given it a second thought, but this was after they left numerous messages on talk pages proclaiming their hatred for the changes to the species infobox and were told off for it multiple times. 19:23, August 22, 2019 (EDT)

RE: Dr. Mario World artwork
Hi, To answer your question regarding the artwork for Dr. Mario World, I got Dr. Daisy's artwork directly from the Nintendo Life site, which was later seen on the We Are Daisy Fandom page (they beat me to the punch,I just cropped it for perfectionism purposes), and the other three I got from this wiki, I just had to very carefully remove the white background and changed them to PNG format. But apart from that, I was extremely careful to keep the quality in all four of them.

Crash image
Actually, it's showing one of the carnivorous plant enemies in that game (this one floating on the surface of the water). Ultimately, it's just a carnivorous plant; the ones that seem closest to Piranha Plants are the ones in the second game, which at least have white spots (though the main flower is more of a purplish black color), and some in the third game that are red with white spots, but spit seeds instead of chomping. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:09, August 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, well, there's still the mushrooms? Would that make the image usable or no? 18:56, August 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Red one that spits seeds is in the second game as well. I hardly think both the plant and mushrooms are supposed to be referencing Mario. 22:33, August 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Alright then. 22:37, August 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * It was the second game, not the third game, yeah. There arn't any real carnivorous plants with that coloration, but Fly Agaric mushrooms are very common in fiction. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:16, August 26, 2019 (EDT)

Thanks for backing me up, Alex. I've been blocked before. It's not fun. I don't want to go through that again. I will do everything I can to defend the valid edits I make for this wiki.

 * It's stated in the first sentence that "Doki Doki Panic" is used, and even in official material like Smash Bros. Wii U. Looking at the boxart, "Yume Kōjō" is not actually present as part of the game's title, it's there as a promotion (but is still part of the title, I know that sounds confusing). 21:33, August 30, 2019 (EDT)

What counts as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
I don't know why people keep reverting my edits on the Smash Ultimate template for no reason, when these "so-called" bosses are really not. Why is this the case? Well, let me count the reasonings:
 * 1) Giga Bowser, Galleom, Dharkon, Galeem, Marx, Dracula, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Rathalos and Ganon have health bars at the top of the screen, which aren't the same as damage percentages or the Stamina mode health bars.
 * 2) The above bosses don't have the announcer say "Ready? Go!" at the start of the battle. This only applies to regular character encounters, which the Giant Donkey Kong and Palutena and the Metal Mario encounters are. This also applies for Mega Man's final round to a lesser extent.
 * 3) The "so-called" bosses at the end of Classic Mode (those being a Giant Donkey Kong, a Giant Palutena and a Metal Mario) have none of these things. Not only that, they just use a permanent Super Mushroom or Metal Box, just like other opponents found in other character's Classic Modes (like Kirby fighting a Giant Yoshi and a Giant Wario or the Dragon Quest Hero fighting a Giant Charizard after defeating Robin for his final round).
 * 4) The actual bosses in Classic Mode, depending on which character is selected, are not always fought for the final round. Some characters fight the boss before the final round (Mega Man, Bowser and the Hero come to mind); the actual final round for some characters is against a regular character or two regular characters, one after another (Bowser, Mega Man, Jigglypuff and Bayonetta come to mind there too).

Those are my reasonings as to why Giga Bowser, Galleom, Dharkon, Galeem, Marx, Dracula, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Rathalos and Ganon are considered bosses and why Giant DK, Giant Palutena and Metal Mario should not be considered bosses. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 13:09, September 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * Forgot to add some more reasonings. These points are on Doc von Schmeltwick's talk page, too.

– Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 13:32, September 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * 1) The "so-called" bosses (e.g. Giant DK, Metal Mario) aren't treated differently by the game at all. They are treated the same as a regular playable character before the battle begins. For example, in Kirby's Classic Mode, he has to fight a Giant Yoshi in Round 2 and a Giant Wario in Round 4. Before the battles, there's nothing that indicates the opponents are going to be giant-sized until after it starts. Same with the "so-called" bosses (although in Bowser's case, the Metal-Boxed Mario spawns after the regular Mario is defeated).
 * 2) In the same point, Doc von Schmeltwick's reasoning is flawed. "They're bosses." No, they're not. If the game does not treat them as such and treats them like a playable character in a Mega or Metal Smash in Custom Smash, then they don't count as bosses under any circumstance. If every giant or metal rival in Classic Mode was a boss, then every single one fought in that mode would be on the template when in actuality, the bosses with health bars at the top of the screen should be the only ones on there in the first place.

A second console with more than two forms of backwards compatibility
Hey, me again! About the part on the GameBoy Advance about it being the only console by Nintendo with more than two instances of backwards compatibility, wouldn't the Wii and/or Wii U fall under that category, as it features the Virtual Console, and certain Wii models feature GameCube slots? I may be wrong again, but I just need some clarification. Thanks! --MikhailMCraft (talk) 14:07, September 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Backwards compatible means being able to run the physical cartridge/disc of an older system game on the newer system. The Virtual Console doesn't qualify as it runs the games through emulation, not the physical copy of the games themselves. Earlier Wii consoles are backwards compatible with GameCube games. 14:10, September 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * I see. Looking here, though, I don't see anything that specifically states that it has to be a physical object that runs backwards compatibility. I may be wrong, though. --MikhailMCraft (talk) 14:20, September 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * The system needs to have the specifics needed to run the game, not just emulate it. Like, the Wii's disc drive is able to read GameCube games, but the Wii U's is not (though I know it was planned). The Wii U and Switch are capable of reading the GameCube controller through the controller port extension, but not the games themselves. Whereas with Virtual Console, there is nothing in the Wii's hardware that is able to read NES, SNES, or N64 cartridges or controllers, the games are downloaded directly to the system itself. 14:27, September 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Okay, so if the GameBoy Advance can qualify as hosting two backward compatible systems, wouldn't the Nintendo 2DS then be able to qualify as well, hosting backwards compatibility for the DS as well as the DSi? --MikhailMCraft (talk) 14:36, September 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * No, because, aside from the lack of 3D, the system specs are the exact same as a 3DS's because it's the same system. So it's backwards compatible with the same games. It's just a 3D-less 3DS, not a whole new generation of systems. 14:42, September 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ohhhh, I see now! Thanks for clearing that up, I appreciate it! --MikhailMCraft (talk) 14:51, September 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * You're welcome! 14:55, September 19, 2019 (EDT)

Consistency
What I meant by consistency is that most of the images for Mario Kart Tour have "File:MKT Icon [English Name, all one word].png" I was trying to fix that so it's easier as I'm updated the track pages. SwampyGator (talk) 19:55, October 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * I didn't move Diddy Kong because there was already a file called MKT Icon DiddyKong.png, at least there was earlier in the day. It's fine for the most part, it's just easier for me because I get used to have them as one word while updating the track pages with the starred characters and such. I'll move the abbreviated ones. Would it be possible for me to make a template for the icons like the one used for buttons? SwampyGator (talk) 20:04, October 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Alrighty then, I'll fix the abbreviations later. Thank you. SwampyGator (talk) 20:10, October 3, 2019 (EDT)

Fright Mask Spirit being a Bowser doppelgänger
I can say that I do understand for the Bowser Statues to not be a doppelgängers of Bowser I got it confused since they sometimes act alive in a way. But the shadowy spirit clone of Bowser from both the Fright Jar and Fright Mask seems kind of unfair due to the fact that a shadowy Bowser clone gets released when the items are used so I don't see a really valid reason why it doesn't qualify to be a Bowser doppelgänger even coming from just a simple item. Also I noticed in the category page for Bowser Doppelgängers there is both Belome and Bowser Clone but they have the same link and should just be one link to that page, more specifically Bowser Clone since Belome is the clone maker and a unique boss. How do you add italic links to a category page, I couldn't find a source for it in the editor. I could do the same for like let's say Cosmic Luigi for example? gamermakerguy


 * Well now how am I going to name the Super Paper Mario version of "Dark Bowser's" name in Bowser's doppelganger category to not conflict with the one from Bowser's Inside Story? It's quite unorganized that Dark Mario, Dark Peach and Dark Luigi have redirect links but that version of Dark Bowser doesn't?

 * Gallery:Super_Mario_World. 22:12, October 5, 2019 (EDT)

Okay, I'd like to add to the Super Mario World article, but do you think it should be under the "Story" section, under the "Gallery" section, or nowhere on the article and on just Gallery:Super Mario World? Dwhitney (talk) 22:55, October 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't think there's a place for it on the main article, it'd look kind of awkward under the Story section. So just keep to Gallery for now, which it already is. 22:59, October 5, 2019 (EDT)

Bosses
Are the Octopus in the G&W game Octopus and the Boss Bass in the Modern version of Parachute actual bosses? The Octopus's arms can be stunned in the Modern version, but it can't be defeated. The Boss Bass lurks in the water, chasing a character who falls in, but it can't be defeated, either. I read your quote saying that a videogame boss is someone who stands in your way of a goal, which is what the Octopus does but not so much the Boss Bass. If a videogame character tries to keep you from achieving something but can't be defeated entirely, is it still a boss? Dwhitney (talk) 12:08, October 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I wouldn't consider those bosses. They aren't something you fight against, they're more of an annoyance than anything. You can't defeat them, so they aren't much of a boss, more just a regular obstacle (for the octopus) or something that doesn't really effect gameplay at all (the Boss Bass). 12:49, October 9, 2019 (EDT)

RE: Scuttlebug images
I don't know where it's from, but it's definitely not official.

Partners in Time enemies thing
Last I checked we had started discouraging pluralizing non-numbered enemy lists like that, namely due to it being more of a general way. Many times people have pluralized enemies in these lists where there's only one of said type of enemy, which is extremely aggravating. It's also totally unnecessary extra coding whenever piping is needed for pluralizing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:41, October 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * I agree with pluralizing being an issue when there's only one of that enemy in the level, but for these edits there weren't. Where has it been said to discourage this? 13:43, October 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Well I mean there's the whole "some anon keeps getting repeatedly banned over it" thing... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:46, October 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, but that's really only if the edits are incorrect. 13:47, October 11, 2019 (EDT)

G&WG series appearances
LinkTheLefty and I seem to have a disagreement about links. The Modern versions of certain Game & Watch games have many Toads and Yoshis, but we don't agree on whether their appearances should link to the characters themselves or their species. Manhole, Fire, and Parachute have many Toads, and Fire, Parachute, and (in a way) Chef have many Yoshis. But these games (excluding Chef) also have many Donkey Kong Jrs., which have no specific species (neither does Mario in Manhole). Because of that, because there are no different-colored Toads and Yoshis in these games, and because their appearances in the Modern games are discussed on the characters' articles themselves (which I think makes more sense), I believe their appearances should link to those articles. As for Chef, because the game starts with one Green Yoshi, I think its appearance should link to the character's article. LinkTheLefty, however, doesn't think so. To prevent us from having an edit war, please tell me your preference about this. Dwhitney (talk) 19:55, October 12, 2019 (EDT)

Because Toad's and Yoshi's appearances in those games are discussed on their articles, would it be okay to link to the characters just under "Character appearances" on the Game & Watch Gallery articles? (I'm not trying to argue with you.) Dwhitney (talk) 22:31, October 12, 2019 (EDT)

Edit summaries
Why is putting long ellipses in edit summaries said to be passive-aggressive? Dwhitney (talk) 13:24, October 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's just really unnecessary, does nothing helpful, and makes the message longer than it needs to be. 17:41, October 13, 2019 (EDT)

"Toys do not have genders"
Technically speaking, yes, but generally people will refer to a doll or action figure by the gender its character is intended to be. Besides, the minis have some amount of sentience. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:09, October 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sure, I do that too, but it's not exactly correct. I'm probably being too picky, though ^^;
 * And they do, but not without character or user input first. 19:16, October 13, 2019 (EDT)
