Ridley Proposal Extended...
My bad dude... 14:05, 4 March 2011 (EST)
 * *dudette
 * But anyway, it's no problem; we haven't had an extension in months, so there was nothing for you to go on: I don't think it says to show the extension in the rules (it's just an unwritten style thing). - Walkazo 14:13, 4 March 2011 (EST)

Okay, cool...um, I have another question (I know, big surprise, right? :D), can u just make a new category on anything u think there should be a category about?

00:17, 5 March 2011 (EST)


 * Depends on the type of category. If there's only a few pages that would go in it, it's probably not a good idea; other than that, it'll probably be allowed, but I can't say for certain without knowing any specifics - it's not a subject that lends itself to generalities. Why, are you thinking of making a couple categories? - Walkazo 00:27, 5 March 2011 (EST)

Yeah, I was thinking one for Books, and one for Giant Creatures...

 * We've actually decided to use Category:Publications, rather than around the wiki (we used to have a "books" category, but it was deleted in 2009). IIRC, "Publications" was chosen because it avoids the possible confusion about whether the category is talking about in-universe books or actual RL books, and it incorporates a broader range of things (i.e. comics, compilations of comics, magazines), which makes it more useful as a navigation tool. I can see where you're coming from with the Giant Creatures category, but you'd have to be really specific (i.e. it's "giant" forms of standard enemies, rather than large creatures in general, since that would probably be considered unnecessary), and even then, it might not be accepted. You might want to consult another Sysop before making such a category. - Walkazo 00:50, 5 March 2011 (EST)

Yeah, see what I was talking about was in-universe books, but I was only able to find four books that would fit into that category, though I'm sure there are more, 'cuz there's tons of Mario games I've never even played before... :)

 * I actually doubt that there's enough in-universe books to justify making an entire category for them. - Walkazo 01:15, 5 March 2011 (EST)

Good point...

Hello Again

 * Its me DKC2 King Liam with a different username. Hows stuff going?
 * "school keeps me too busy for social calls" - Walkazo 15:19, 6 March 2011 (EST)
 * Um... you are online. Can you explain what you mean?
 * School keeps me busy a lot, so when I do make it online, I want to do work, not waste my time chit-chatting. - Walkazo 15:22, 6 March 2011 (EST)

"Title Screen" stuff
No offense, obviously, but the person who's been uploading screenshots of title screens has been doing so very frequently as compared to the majority of screenshots we have of actual gameplay. I did tell the person in question that in the future to not just upload title screens alone for that doesn't do the articles in the mainspace justice. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan!

 * But I don't see why title screens "don't do the articles" justice. Sure they don't show gameplay, but they do show a perfectly valid (and interesting, imho) aspect of the game. What's the harm? - Walkazo 13:14, 7 March 2011 (EST)

What now...?
So now that this has already been extended an extra week, is it still considered to be a tie, or not?

01:33, 11 March 2011 (EST)


 * It gets extended for another week. If it's still tied by the end of the 17th, it'll have to be extended again (and again, and again, and again until a consensus is reached). - Walkazo 01:39, 11 March 2011 (EST)

Omg! I'm almost starting to wish I hadn't proposed it in the first place... :D
