Hey, when you writing out information make sure to follow our [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|writing guidelines]], specifically capitalising proper nouns like Donkey Kong. Also, in regards to Hammer Bro., you missed out the ending reference, hence why the information disappeared. In case something similar happens again and you can't figure why, ask another experienced user to help rather than removing the content that's disappeared. Thanks. {{User|Yoshi876}}

Thank you.  I am sorry for messing up with that before, to be honest, I am not the best with wiki formatting.  I had messed that up before, but I think I understand now, so thank you for the help.

A proposal would probably be a good idea, yeah. Might be good to let the discussion continue a while longer first, though. [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 00:03, March 24, 2019 (EDT)

:Also, might as well put a lot of thought into that proposal as well, laying out every possible advantage and disadvantage, so that maybe you have a good shot at getting out a decent vote. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 00:06, March 24, 2019 (EDT)
== Re:Quick solution ==
It looks clunky to directly refer to the wiki outside of applicable pages where it would be expected like the List of rumors and urban legends about ''Mario'' or ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia''. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 14:44, March 25, 2019 (EDT)
:Maybe, but that approach is more something to be brought up on the Watage Pakkun talk page. The difference with Nipper Dandelion and Fire Nipper Plant is that the former must take some context to translate (I've said it before, but no one's going to look at the name Watage Pakkun as-is and assume it's a type of Nipper Plant or necessarily know that it's actually a dandelion), whereas the latter is a very straightforward translation (''Faia'', Fire, ''Puchi Pakkun'', Nipper Plant). That and the fact that it's just not mentioned at all in the English dub (even though, oddly enough, it and several others are subtitled in plain English) makes me think that it was most likely a different person who came to the conclusion of Fire Nipper Plant.

== Rerere:Nipper Dandelion ==
For the same reason we normally do it for other [[MarioWiki:Naming#Name changes|name changes]] - it was not official at the time. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 20:12, March 27, 2019 (EDT)
== Re: Signature ==
{{sigbox|Niiue}}
Fixed.
== Succolourus ==
I don't know where to find the original. Here's where I found the translation, but since I'm not good at formatting references, I left it out. You can add it yourself or move it to the German name if you want to. [[User:Pallukun]] 21:03, 29th May 2019 (GMT)

:I've looked around, and there don't seem to be any images of the comic in German. Should the page be deleted or tagged with 'unoffical translation'? 23:16, 29th May 2019 (GMT) {{unsigned|Pallukun}}
== Nipper Plant ==
You realize that's a hue-altered crop of the SMB3 image, right? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:29, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
== Re:References ==
It's useful in the ''Super Mario World'' cases because the in-game source is in conflict with the guide, and it helps readers to know the origin. It is allowed if it is somewhat obfuscated. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:00, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
:Indeed, I recall when [[Arrow Lift]] was moved (before it was decided it should be split some time) to "Arrow Wheel" because someone apparently didn't know it's stated [[Shocking Arrow Lifts!|blatantly in a SM64 mission title]], so they thought it was "unsourced." If there are alternate parsings or just a lot of different names, in-game citations make sense so people don't start assuming they have no source.

== Pink DKJr vs Gooigi ==
They are not even ''remotely'' comparable. "Gooigi" has an actual plot-given reason for existing, and has unique properties in many respects. "Junior (II)" is a pointless non-character whose more comparable to the recolors in the Smash, tennis, or golf games. This is ''especially'' important since we got rid of the colored Yoshi pages, which were the only thing even remotely justifying its existence.

== [[Special:Diff/2634371|"we only use older names when they are used in-game"]] ==
You actually had it right the first time. I can point to numerous examples showing that to be a false statement. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:22, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
== RE:Stubs ==
I know but there is little info as it is so making a separate article will make things more confusing! And their will be even LESS info!!!!!!!!!! [[User:HEROMARIO|[-]€40 分@4¡0]] ([[User talk:HEROMARIO|talk]]) 18:06, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

If someone asks a question on a user talk page, they are wanting an answer from the user in question. Please do not step in unless the user is either inactive or they don't appear to be responding in a timely manner. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:31, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
== RE: Gameboy emulators ==
Two problems. No webpage-based emulators. They are terrible. Standalone executables are recommended. I can't recommend anywhere to download the ROMs regardless if it is webpage-based or not because that would be piracy. You are on your own finding those, unless you buy the real cartridges and dump the ROMs yourself. That is legal.

==RE: DKC3==
I must have forgotten because of the rush. But you did good to warn me.
