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


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

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


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

Aboutfile made default in upload summary
Hello,

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


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

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


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

My questions are:


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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


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


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


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


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

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


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

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


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

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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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


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