I've been thinking that the wiki could hold a contest to design a brand new logo for the Super Mario Wiki. It's a new year, and as far as I know, the current logo is the only one to ever be used (again, as far as I know). --{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 02:08, 3 January 2017 (EST) | I've been thinking that the wiki could hold a contest to design a brand new logo for the Super Mario Wiki.

:We've actually had {{plain link|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/archive/4/4c/20081205230249%21Mariowiki.png this logo]}} previously to our current one (I think it was changed about eight years ago). Anyway, it would depend entirely on whether there is enough community interest to change it again. Recently, the banners at [[MarioWiki:Maintenance]] and [[MarioWiki:Proposals]] have been redesigned, due to the strong community interest at the wiki's forums (see {{plain link|1=[http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=29237.msg1871208#msg1871208 here]}} and [[ | :We've actually had {{plain link|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/archive/4/4c/20081205230249%21Mariowiki.png this logo]}} previously to our current one (I think it was changed about eight years ago).

So I think that any pitch to change the wiki's logo would require that same involvement. If you wanted to pursue it, then I'd suggest bringing up within the "[[mb:threads/29237|general discussion]]" topic on the forum's collaboration board. Because ultimately, the admins wouldn't really organise it without that pre-momentum from the community. {{User:Shokora/sig}} 06:04, 3 January 2017 (EST) | ||

Thank you! I used to do [[:File: | Thank you! I used to do [[:File:SMS Pink Cheep Cheep Screenshot.png|oversized ones]], at least with [[GCN]] games, but I started to experiment with Dolphin's capabilities a bit more and found out that a certain graphical mode might be producing screenshots more closely to what real hardware can produce, but at a cost of being extremely slow. The oversizing was due to Dolphin's shoddy implementation of screenshots and me trying to cover it up with something nicer. To get technical and keep things understandable, I think that the GCN's graphical instructions being converted into something that a computer's GPU can understand is a bit off with Dolphin when using [[Wikipedia:OpenGL|OpenGL]], [[Wikipedia:Direct3D|Direct3D]], or [[Wikipedia:Vulkan (API)|Vulkan]] because it thinks that native resolution is 640x528 for all games when really it isn't. I even made a note of it in [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox#GCN/Wii|my WIP]]. I [[:File:Honey.PNG|still do this oversizing]] with [[Wii]] games because widescreen is faked on real hardware. Resizing the window to be exactly at native is a pain in the butt and too involved so that is why I still recommend oversizing. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 15:18, 10 February 2017 (EST) | ||

==Proposal talky thing== | |||
I had already stopped and decided to ask a patroller what he felt of that situation and whether any and all behavior there was acceptable. However, he hasn't come online yet. In the interrim, Niiue gave Howzit a reminder. | |||
Been meaning to ask you this, are you planning on ripping any more of the VBWL sprites, or have you finished for the foreseeable future? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 07:18, 17 November 2017 (EST) | |||
:Okay, thank you. | |||
:Those sprites are ripped frame-by-frame, so they take a long time. I am on holiday break now, so I'd like to devote more time to that project (there are plenty more enemies/bosses to rip). | |||

== Yoshi.noir? == | |||
Who is Yoshi.noir? Did they make this [[File:SMO Art - Regional Coin (Luncheon).svg|20px]] or find it?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 12:18, 21 November 2017 (EST) | |||
:They're from Nintendo Wiki. They found it. {{User:Shokora/sig}} 20:00, 24 November 2017 (EST) | |||
== Need Promotion to 'Shroomwriter == | |||
Hey, I joined the 'Shroom Strategy Wing in Issue 128, but I am currently not able to edit the 'Shroom. Do you mind adding me to the 'shroomwriters list? I actually asked {{User|Glowsquid}} about this last week, but he's been mostly inactive since then.... -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 03:55, 27 November 2017 (EST) | |||

== Question about possible pre-release and unused content images == | |||
I was looking through all the images for ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' for low-quality screenshots to replace and found these images: | |||
* [[:File:SM3DWgrass.png]] | |||
* [[:File:SM3DW Early Shifty Boo Mansion.png]] | |||
* [[:File:SM3DWants.png]] | |||
* [[:File:SM3DW Early Spike's Lost City.png]] | |||
* [[:File:SM3DW Cave + Goomba Tower.png]] | |||
* [[:File:SuperMario3D Cats Screenshot.png]] | |||
* [[:File:Super Mario 3D World Climbing Cat Mario.png]] | |||
I could easily replace them, but I noticed that they were uploaded before the game's release. These images don't have descriptions suggesting that they contain pre-release/unused content, but some images uploaded with these do contain it, as seen in [[Gallery:Super Mario 3D World#Screenshots]]. Do you think I should leave these or replace them? --{{User:Supermariofan67/sig}} 10:40, 20 December 2017 (EST) | |||
:I speak from experience. What makes this harder is the images linked don't have a source where it was obtained. In general, {{SITENAME}} users tend to upload first, ask questions later. I feel that image uploads for upcoming games should be more restrictive, but only until release. Then normal uploading can resume. Why? Sudden influx of images get uploaded and things get harder to coordinate and track otherwise. Bulbapedia has a decent idea for a policy, especially with the recent release of [[Bulbapedia:Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], but they tend to take it too far and lock the entire wiki, which isn't fair for those looking to improve older articles. I did find [[Bulbapedia:Machop At Work|Machop At Work]] has a bad image that I can't tag with [[Bulbapedia:Template:Bad picture|<nowiki>{{</nowiki>bad picture<nowiki>}}</nowiki>]], but that is beyond the scope of this wiki. It's just an example of how far not to take this idea I had. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 10:53, 20 December 2017 (EST) | |||
