Error when Submiting
I am getting a database error whenever I submit an edit: A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "SearchMySQL4::update". MySQL returned error "1194: Table 'searchindex' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost)".

The edit is still going through, though, so editors, don't be alarmed. 20:00, 16 July 2007 (EDT)
 * I am also getting the same error when searching. 20:02, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Me too, the wiki has to gotta get an upgrade on it's hardware. AHHHHH! It's the WareHard!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
 * The upgrade is being processed, so the site will be down while the server is being upgraded. -- 10:50, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Assist Trophies & Pokemon
OK, as you people may know, there has been a debate over the Assist Trophy characters. Should they have their own articles, or should they be put on the Assist Trophy page. Well, the opposed won, and the articles were STILL made. So, I am bringing it here to get more results. NOTE: The result of this poll is temporary. A new decision can be made when the game has been released.

Create Articles for Assist Trophy Characters and Pokemon

 * 1) Dodoman For Assist Trophies, AND Poke Balls.
 * 2) [[Image:Paperjorgesp.png]]  P J   Beware, I give Paper Cuts! 

Leave them all on the Assist Trophy Article and the Pokemon Article

 * 1) Bottle Wizzerd

Comments
Didn't I already open a poll at Talk: Assist Trophy? - 05:34, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
 * Yes, the opposing team won, but the people on this Wiki STILL went ahead and made the articles. So, I put it here to get REAL results. I hope you understand.

Cobold, consider Talk:Main Page our community hub page. Votes & such get more response here 17:42, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
 * There would be too little information for most pokemon and assist trophies leave as is.
 * I beg to differ. I've seen Mini-game pages smaller than Dr. Wright and Goro.

Though I do think the Assist Trophies could serve some more potential than Poke Balls... Dodester

Why even bother with any of this? Just mark the trophies as items, not where the character comes from and leave it at that. -- Chris 21:43, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

We also have a similar argument going on over the Super Abilities and Skillshots from Mario Strikers Charged.

Wayoshi
I suppose that willy was washi because Washi Hates everyone.

Yeah, I can tell this will end badly, considering this qualifies as a personal attack. -- Sir Grodus

So you're saying I should be blocked?No you don't understand maybe because that was one of the reasons.

I didn't say that. -- Sir Grodus

SO what are you exactly saying?
 * This sounds like trolling. The real problem we are having now is that Wayoshi never got punished for his actions (I'm not saying whether he deserved it or not), so we cannot easily do so with others. Abusing the hole, eh? - 16:02, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

He was demoted, he is no longer listed as a Bureaucrat or Sysop; and I really think we should just let this go. -- Sir Grodus
 * He demoted himself. Steve would have given him a second chance. I guess it was Ghost Jam who first complained about him not getting any sort of block. - 16:09, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

So. I got demoted for speaking out against a rule and got demoted. He did something so amazingly huge and also gets demoted. I see a small break in logic there. He also never got punished by demotion, and Steve was out of it for some reason, because he was going to give Wayoshi a second chance.

Dont troll Fg. Please. This is going to start a flame war.

I hate to say it, after constantly defending Wayoshi and whatnot, but I do think he needs to be punished someway. 17:03, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

I can't believe this has been brought up again. I'm over that period on the wiki. I would like this to be dropped and to continue to catch up with the past missed fortnight, thanks. 17:43, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

Too bad others AREN'T over it. Maybe some sort of punishment would calm down the masses....

Um...
Why is everyone going into a fight with each other?I thought we're here for editing and making friends,what is this now?

Please stop the fight or else I'll retire!You are in alot of hot water and I suggest you all stop.
 * Hey Fg, you just started a small one in the section above. Otherwise, I see little issues on this wiki. -_- 17:45, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

What are you talking about Washi?

No you don't understand Mr.Washi I was talking about max2 and hk-47.

Hmmm.... You'll retire, you say? That's really good motivation for me to continue.

SHUT UP

That's that negativity again. I use calm words and a calm tone.

FG: Wayoshi was talking about Mwuserpedia, most (if not all) of the fight orriginate from there. Gofer

Fg, do you want to get banned?

I don't really care what you say hk-47 and you're pissing me off.

Words like that lead you down a dark and dangerous path, young one.

First and Last warning: Stop the hate or get a 15 day suspension. Fellow Sysops, please put your collective foots down during these fights. -- Chris 21:40, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

My mind is set.
I am NOT leaving, contrary to what I said on the chat.

However, I am still deeply sorry for what I done, I insulted user,  and striked the wiki with the sublte of an Panzer MK-IV tank firing it's cannon. I know that what I did was wrong, and I am awfully sorry for it. Megatron

Dude, that's deep.

PAIR System Up
Just wanted to announce that PAIR is up, revising the FA system. Let's try it out and get some effort, and see if we can improve a former/current FA. 21:45, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

I devised the Pansy name, in case you wanted to know.
 * We could always rename it if you think it stinks, I guess... But I don't think it's bad...  08:06, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Itadaki Street DS
WE NEED HELP ON THIS ARTICLE, AND ITS RELATED ARTICLES!!!! C'mon people, surely a few of you have this game, and this Wiki is in great need for it to be finished. Just saying.

It's Japan-only. No one has the game.

Perhaps with some good online translators we could rock the floor... but I'm no good at that. Can anyone post some good sources? 08:29, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

If all else fails, when you find foreign source, use Babel Fish or Google translator. The translation might be shaky, but they generally tend to be accurate.

Falling Apart
I... I can't believe what's happened here. Everyone has been arguing and flaming to poor steve, everyone hates each other, I can't believe it!

How could you all do this? We've all changed, and I think it was for the worst.

Those are noly some examples. I just want to know Why? What happened during that hiatus that changed us all?
 * Hk:What happened to the Funny Hk? The one that always wanted to help?
 * Xzelion: You've become worse and worse. You've become power-mad and just unbearable.
 * Even I feel ashamed at myself.
 * --Max


 * Maybe we all just became too desperate... Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!

...

I think I'm still bitter over my demotion. I'm only just now starting to get over it. I think I should be fine by the end of the week. Xzelion is on a power trip, a trip straight to the pits of Mordor, I'm afraid.

It's the Void. That's all there is to it. It slowly consumes good communities until you get a YouTube like community. Ah, yes... I still remember the first responce comment I ever got. Something like, "Shut up and enjoy the song like everyone else or leave. You a**." So cool. I actually liked the song too. Wasn't like I dissed it. Hoo... that was a rant. 14:13, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Well, we all seem to be getting more like our old selves again. HK has started to relax, Max seems calmer, but Xzelion is still the same. 14:22, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

I don't think Cali is doing him any good, either. I talked to him, and he doesn't seem to be soaking up any sun or catching anything gnarly. Too bad. I wouldn't be caught dead on a computer if I was in Cali. Well, maybe every once in a while.

You mean California? Lol. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!

It's kind of fun to think about... maybe if I wasn't a suburbanite who's home has cruddy weather for 8 months of the year I wouldn't be here. Creepy. Speaking of, I must... get away and enjoy the 2 months left of non-cruddy-ness. 15:01, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

SSB Emblems in Corner of Articles
I think the only emblems in the upper corner of articles should be the FA star. This is the Mario Wiki, so we don't need to identify every article with a SSB symbol. ♥♪!? 18:58, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
 * Why do you hate them? That took me ages to do, and why exactly are you dissing them. I only put them on, because on the Trivia Section, it states what the characters Emblem is, so I put it at the top to show what it looks like. So, what's you're problem with them?
 * Also, the symbol images aren't transparent, which makes them very annoying for my yellow skin. takes care of this now, so when adding that template to articles, can anyone (DP?) doing it also remove the corner item? Thanks, as Mr. ♥♪!? suggests, the corner code should be used sparingly  19:01, 19 July 2007 (EDT)


 * I don't hate the emblems, just their placement. The template should work fine. =) ♥♪!? 19:02, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
 * OH RIGHT, the Template. I am so forgetful, that's the Aussies for ya :P OK, thanks for reminding me, I shall remove them and add the Template soon. Thanks.

Map
Steve made this: A map of the MarioWiki. Dunno if its ok to post it. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!
 * Posting is good, and here's the new link to the map. -- 12:42, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

DK Wiki
Why isn't there a link to the DK Wiki on the main-page? -Klaus Kratchet
 * Wow, that's history for long now. It's all here now! - 13:50, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

The DK Wiki was closed down about a year ago due to lack of interest. -- Sir Grodus


 * Wow, it's already been a year? It seems like a few months at most. Wow... 15:24, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

I just estimated, in reality... I don't know how long its been. -- Sir Grodus

Brawl's Story?
...

Theres already a section on it at the Brawl page. I think its strange to, having a story mode. HE LOOKS AWSOME THOUGH.

Sigh....
I have something to say... to all of you, really. Do any of you know what this is? It's a MARIO wiki. A site about a fat little plumber saving the beatiful princess from the evil dragon. It's not about a bunch of over-sensitive dorks and there soap-opera like experiences, but apparently that is what the NEW MW will be about.

Wayoshi: You have always treated this wiki like it was some kind of museum of modern art. You were too official, too serious, and did'nt seem to me to be all that friendly. Then, (surprises and plot-twists abound) you became a sexually perverted troll named Willie. Why? Apparently, you have a mild form of Autism. I have yet to hear of any sickness that causes someone to rename themselves Willie and make perverted remarks on a Mario Wiki, but thats just me. You werent punished for any of this....... o.k. Fine. Forgive and forget and all. But don't go losing you;re head the next time someone says the word "poopy" on the wiki, because you are no longer one to talk.

Also... youre an Atheist. Fine. I have no problem with anyones particular religious or sexual beliefs. BUT, when someone acts like a jackass and raves about someone elses beliefs, that pisses me off.

Max2: You left. Whhop-de friggin doo. Apparently, someone insulted youre ever-so-delicate mind-frame. I'm not surprised... everything seems to insult you. A mere typo could start a flame war when it ws adressed to you. You bragged about being the best spriter.... I really wouldnt brag to much about lifelessness. You were vain, you were whiny, so good-bye.

Contrare to what this may seem like, I'm not trying to start a flame war. I wont things back to how they were in the beggining.... when people came here to write or read about Mario. Is that too much to ask? - Ultimatetoad
 * You should really look on recent changes – we have plentiful main namespace edits everyday. And I decline comment on the Willy incident, and finally, fine, but you all are doomed to a life of worship to nothing, anyways, so I could care less 16:18, 20 July 2007 (EDT)


 * I say Wayoshi needs another smaller punishment. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!


 * sigh* Can't we get over with this?

Ultimate Toad.... Good to see you again. Contrary to what people will tell you, I'm not evil. I don't start flame wars on purpose, unless your name is KPH and I ask you ahead of time. No, I merely work for justice, and to help people IMPROVE upon flaws, like that Fg Tezuka Zone I left. Apparently its impossible to be the messenger and not get caught up in a flame war. And Fg, you aren't one to talk.


 * I won't be happy until Gavin gets another smaller punishment. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!

Hk-47 why are you such a pain in the a**?

Because your being one first...

Shut up isyou.

I agree with Wayoshi on the first point, we do have namespace edits, but I really think that people are getting way too sensitive nowadays. The wiki just seems to have lost the magic touch it had a year ago. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but it does seems like we've been falling into a decline in productivity and and increase in spam and pointless flame wars. UT is right. We have to find a way to get back to that golden age.

And Wayoshi, I think you're being unfair with that religious comment. I mean, I'm an atheist myself, but that doesn't mean I go around saying things like that. Honestly. 16:26, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

UT: So, so true. The community aspect here is like... forget it. I envy user like Geno and Lanky Kong who managed to not get in it.

Addendum: Up there! Right there! The last four comments. This is what I mean!

The Golden Age was sooooooo awesome. I think Super Mario Galaxy and Brawl might help bring that back. There's less productivity because we've covered most of the back order for games that were released previously. A big part of the wiki now is updating it to match newer releases.

I don't get this
Wy does everyone starts having a flame war with each other and why do we hate each other?I thought we were suppose to be friends here not foes.

You already said this.

But everyone ignores this message.

Welcome to the truth of the human condition, Fg. Gofer said that first, but it was so true, I felt you HAD to hear it.
 * So in the end, you are all arguing about how bad it is that you are arguing? Woo, I'm glad I'm out of that. - 16:54, 20 July 2007 (EDT)
