Erm... does Edofenrir really mean that I am bossing around people? I don't see that anywhere. I remember telling Cobold for doing his job wrong when protecting the [[Mario]] article, but I will stop. Do you really think that is bossy? I don't really seem to know if it is or not. {{user:Kaptain K. Rool/sig}}

If you look at the infobox in [[Goomba]], [[Buzzy Beetle]] or [[Boo]], the enemy's first and last appearance info is shown ''only'' if you click on the show/hide link next to "Notable Members". The first and last appearance info used to be shown without clicking anything. What happened?? {{user:Mario jc/sig}}

::I think that having the second style as an option would be useful. Often, I've noticed that newer users who don't understand precisely how references work will delete the main tag that contains the actual reference data, because they believe it or the fact it's attached to not to be relevant anymore. However, they leave one or more dependent tags on the page, which creates an ugly looking error message. I think the newer syntax will reduce the incidence of this.

Porplemontage, with the 6th Anniversary coming closer day by day, and being just barely over a month away from now, there is a lot of things going on that you are probably busy with. All I can to ask was - as the Awards Mafia is be promoted on [[Template:Announcement]] - if you could add [http://forum.mariowiki.com/index.php?topic=11764.0] <-- this to it. Barely anyone has signed up for it, and I really would like to have this tournament to actually be done this year since we have never had a Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament before for the Wiki. If it is not too much trouble, could you help promote this tournament by putting it in that template? {{User:Baby Mario Bloops/sig}}

:Well, first thing is that I don't want there to be more than three lines on that template. Your thing could be merged-in, but I don't know if it's important enough to be added in the first place. So you have to talk to Awards-Sysop people. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 19:24, 11 July 2011 (EDT)
