Sorry I'm posting this here, since it's not related to the wiki ''directly''. The creation of new articles and the improvement of old ones depends greatly on it, though. Let's get to the point: In the articles about ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comics, we used to have a link to [http://www.e-lation.net/site/comics.html this website], where you could download PDF versions of the comics. Problem is: They were taken off the website and I have no access to most of the comics anymore. So, if anyone of you has saved the comics while they were still online, I'd be more than glad if (s)he could tell me.

While there is around a dozen of ''Mario'' [[Game & Watch]] titles, the Wiki also has articles on many more Game & Watch games, since they were included in the ''Mario'' themed ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series. However, articles such as ''[[Ball]]'' handle those as if they were "real" ''Mario'' games. I think the non-''Mario'' Game & Watch titles should be handled like mini-games, since the only reason for the articles is that they were featured in the compilations. After all, this Mario Wiki and not Nintendo Wiki. The [[DSiWare]] article also lists all Game & Watch ports (only exact ports in this case and no ''Mario'' remakes), including those that don't feature any ''Mario'' characters.

:The Modern versions of these titles ''are'' "real" ''[[Mario ( | :The Modern versions of these titles ''are'' "real" ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, but I agree that those articles should be dealt with in regards to the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' updates as opposed to the original games themselves. That means replacing their standard game infoboxes with special G&W Gallery Mini-game templates, and scrapping all the DSi information, correct? I think [[Manhole (Game & Watch)|Manhole]] is a good example of what we'd be striving for: a concise introduction, followed by the information about the original/classic game, and then the modern stuff. Perhaps to keep in step with the rest of the wiki's organization, there should be a "History" section with a "Background" sub-section dealing with the original game (i.e. the release date, the photo of the game, a mention of its DSiWare release, and any unique gameplay elements); the brunt of the original gameplay would then be included in the "Classic" sub-header of the "Game & Watch Gallery" section (covering the ''series'', not any one title in particular, seeing as some games, like [[Chef (Game & Watch)|Chef]], appear in multiple galleries), with the "Modern" version once again bringing up the rear. Or, if all those headers seem superfluous, simply sticking to a "Background" header and a "Game & Watch Gallery" header with the "Classic" and "Modern" sub-headers would work too. I like the latter option the best, what about you guys? - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:14, 14 August 2009 (EDT) | ||

I read this earlier, along with the spiking rumors of the Wii HD when Shiggy favored nice graphics while focusing on the gameplay, Shiggy and Nintendo I hear. I think this is considered true, since there's no "Rumor" or "???" in the titles. :P However, we remain unsure if the next gen DS will be released next year, or the year after that.

== Error With Patrolling? == | ==Error With Patrolling?== | ||
I think I might have found an error with Patrolling: Whenever a Sysop or Bureaucrat marks a revision as Patrolled, it is logged. however, whenever a Patroller marks a revision as Patrolled, it doesn't show up in the log. I don't know if this means that the patrolling aspect of patrollers doesn't work, or if it just isn't show8ing up in the logs. Either way, I feel that this needs to be fixed. {{User:Super Paper Mario Bros./sig}} 10:55, 19 October 2009 (EDT) | I think I might have found an error with Patrolling: Whenever a Sysop or Bureaucrat marks a revision as Patrolled, it is logged. however, whenever a Patroller marks a revision as Patrolled, it doesn't show up in the log.

::I don't know if SMB is speaking of the same thing but a similar point I brought up in chat yesterday is that we patrollers don't have the capability of directly marking a revision as patrolled, so we always have to use "Patrol edits" to do so. It would be much handier if we had a "mark this edit as patrolled" button, so we can mark something as reviewed directly, instead of having to wait that the revision pops up in "Patrol edits" some time. - {{User:Edofenrir/sig}} 14:52, 19 October 2009 (EDT) | |||

::Actually, that is a good issue as well, but I meant the patrol log. Whenever Patrollers patrol (and mark OTHER people's edits as patrolled) it doesn't show up in the log. {{User:Super Paper Mario Bros./sig}} 20:56, 19 October 2009 (EDT) | |||
:I always thought it was silly that Patrollers weren't given autopatrol for their edits, and by the sounds of it they can't even patrol other edits with the same ease as higher Admins, so why are they even ''called'' Patrollers? I impulsively patrol everything on Recent Changes, but I rarely have to fix Patroller's edits and I'd just as soon let them be without watching over their shoulders - save the red exclamation marks for edits that probably do require attention. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:02, 20 October 2009 (EDT) | |||

== Mario Awards IV == | |||
I'd like to pass on control of Mario Awards IV to St00by, and personally suggest keeping it at 30 Mario Awards and 10 Fail Awards – 50 ended up being too much last year. I still will host the actual polls since I'd like the $200 commitment to be worth something, and they worked very very well last year. If St00by could get AIM, I am still on there as WayoshiM everyday talking to ''Price is Right'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'' pals and I can be consulted there. | |||
Otherwise...I am done with this place on a regular basis. Nothing really went wrong...I think I outgrew this place. Chat is pretty much a dump, I never got into the forum, and even though I contributed BiS clothing recently, I don't have the drive to contribute the project on a level that ''Mario Kart DS'' was (I consider that the highest peak). And then somehow, I never was able to maintain a power position for various reasons...and I still have major grudges against Steve overall, but I guess I'm going to have to let that go now. | |||
Thank you everyone for the memories, and I will check in every once in awhile, | |||
