I'm of the sentiment that having an editing background is pretty pointless, particularly because any images would need to be transparent hard enough just to permit the editing text to be visible at all times. It just wouldn't look good to see, and as a result I don't see a reason to have another editing background that will have to be adjusted and be very faint to see. That being said, I think Image 1 looks the best, as it contains the primary cast of ''Mario''-related characters. {{User:PanchamBro/sig}} 04:14, May 30, 2022 (EDT)

:I like it because it adds a subtle accent (similar to the background in our proposals-space, as tacky as that one is) and it does help distinguish the field from the rest of the interface a bit. Our wiki looks, admittedly, plain and minimalist at points, but maybe an accent here will help it keep it a little more unique compared to other wikis aesthetics-wise. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 04:19, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
::Now I changed my mind image 2 is good because of [[Mario Strikers: Battle League]] {{User:NatsMario2011/sig}} 04:21, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
I think Image 2 is pretty good, since it contains most of the major characters and enemies of the franchise, though I can rarely even see that edit background image. Most of the time, it's blocked by a ton of words. {{User:WildWario/sig}} 04:33, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
:It's definitely a good lineup but it just irritates me that DK is missing, and DK content takes up a big chunk of the wiki. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 04:37, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
I'm personally in the "we don't need one at all" camp, but I'd prefer image 1. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:02, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
Hey, what if we combined the two? I could do that... -ChilliDaYoshi555
Because the opacity of image 2 was a concern in Bazooka Mario's original post, I'd like to inform everyone that Play Nintendo provides a version with an alpha channel, although it's smaller and has some shading dither:<br>[[File:PN Nintendo Online Calendar Creator 2021 char32.png|500px]]<br>{{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 19:16, November 23, 2022 (EST)

== List of every ''Mario Kart'' course? ==
I recently had an idea of creating a list article of every original course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], with links to the games and courses’ respective articles. If this sounds like a good idea, let me know and I’d be happy to start it off. If this idea is rejected then that’s okay.

== New 2D ''Mario'' game leak ==
A new 2D ''Super Mario'' game has been leaked as of today.<ref>[https://youtu.be/amZAGUVvlnQ Mario’s Next Big 2023 Switch Game Has LEAKED & Ash Ketchum’s Voice Actors Retirement Announcement]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved 19 December 2022.</ref> The leak says that Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad are the playable characters, Takashi Tesuka and Hiroyuki Kimora are producers, and it’s set to launch in 2023/2024. I’m not saying an article should be made yet because leaks aren’t enough for one, but just keep your eyes peeled for any information on this untitled ''Mario'' game. '''Yours truly, Princess Toadstoo-- I mean [[User:NintendoFan08|NintendoFan08]].''' 07:58, December 19, 2022 (EST)
:REALLY!? Any other details? {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 10:23, December 20, 2022 (CST)
::1) Unfortunately, no, none so far. 2) Is that sarcasm or a serious question? Not trying to be rude or accuse you of anything, just asking. '''Yours truly, Princess Toadstoo-- I mean [[User:NintendoFan08|NintendoFan08]].''' 09:52, December 27, 2022 (EST)
:::1) Sad. 2) That was a serious question. I was just excited. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 11:13, January 04, 2023 (CST)
::::1) I know, right? 2) Okay. '''Yours truly, Princess Toadstoo-- I mean [[User:NintendoFan08|NintendoFan08]].''' 13:49, January 4, 2023 (EST)
:Well, [[Super Mario Bros. Wonder|the leaks were true]]. Time to close the discussion. '''''Yours truly, Princess Toadstoo-- I mean [[User:NintendoFan08|NintendoFan08]].''''' 11:40, June 24, 2023 (EDT)
== List of games by date link contains... malware?? ==
I was reading an article ([[Fliprus]] to be specific) and clicked on the link in the infobox that takes you to the [[list of games by date]] when my antivirus software aborted connection to due it being infected with "URL:Phishing". Was this a mistake, a hack or something else? An explanation would be greatly appreciated.

== New console ==
I heard there is a new console coming out in 2023-2024. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 13:21, March 1, 2023 (CST)
:Do you have a reliable source for this? {{User:Swallow/sig}} 15:45, March 1, 2023 (EST)
::You can find many resources on google. I heard it from a friend, so I looked it up. All of them seem reliable. Of course, that is up to you to decide. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 14:36, March 2, 2023 (CST)
:::This brings up a good question. 2 sections ago, NintendoFan08 talked of a new 2D Super Mario game within that same year period. Would this game be for this new console, if both turn out to be correct? {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 14:39, March 2, 2023 (CST)

:We should honestly first put these links through an archive. Every Twitter source in the future needs to be archived {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:51, July 29, 2023 (EDT)
== How weird! ==
It is unusual for the wiki to use Emojis, I found one on the microgame [[Apple Blaster]] --[[User:AJOMarioWiki|AJOMarioWiki]] ([[User talk:AJOMarioWiki|talk]]) 16:29, November 17, 2023 (EST)
Apparently the Microgame uses an apple ICON rather than the word apple in traditional WarioWare style so the editors used the emoji. But yes, the wiki does not use emojis at all otherwise.
P.S. Also, it might have been better to say this on the talk page of the article rather than the talk page of this one. {{User:Wonder Time!/sig}}
== Very funny.., VERY funny, guys… ==
That’s not sarcasm, I actually was almost convinced that the April Fool’s Joke was real for a second there. {{User:Wonder Time!/sig}}
