:Hey. '''Citation templates''' is certainly a good category name if we were to have at least a few of them (if it's just one it could probably be tossed in [[:Category:Formatting templates|formatting templates]]), but that template would go against [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/55#Create a template for citations|this proposal]], so you'd need to do a new proposal to overturn that one before the template could be moved to the template namespace or used.

:While I have you here: Note that the changes to [[MarioWiki:Article size]] were designed to make it ''less'' definitive and ''more'' discussion-based: 150 kB is simply when split consideration starts, but if it's decided to keep an article larger than that, that's allowed. That's not to say an article like [[Toad (species)]] couldn't be split into '''History of Toads''' just above 150K - [[Yoshi]] was actually split just ''under'' 150K months ago without complaint (so that's why the threshold was increased to 150K, since splitting at or around 100K didn't feel right to a lot of users while a 150K split was seemingly non-controversial, but in addition to the increase it's now meant to be an open discussion rather than a hard and fast rule). Thanks! --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 10:08, December 13, 2023 (EST)

::Oh. Thank you for telling me about the failed proposal of citation templates. Let us see how the future proposal goes, but I will accept the fate if it does not come through.
:: For the article size question response, it took me a few hours to understand what you meant but I finally understand you are saying that splitting articles is meant to be an open discussion; that should show why [[Template:Split]] is there in the first place. I was excited to split pages straight away because they fit the 100kB threshold. That is when I ended up splitting up a few articles that have not been discussed in the first place until Mario reminded me on the wall that I stopped. Now I understand, for the Toad species, it is better to put a Split template and discuss user thoughts of splitting this. {{User:Derekblue1/sig}} 19:23, December 13, 2023 (EST)
:::After reading the proposal, I can see where they got the [[MarioWiki:Citations]], so I think it was resolved that they choose not to have a template but a policy. According to some people, the proposal looked forced to tell others to use the citation templates for "professionalism". I will cancel the cite web template idea. {{User:Derekblue1/sig}} 22:45, December 13, 2023 (EST)
== Koopa Troop weapons category ==
Per [[Category talk:Koopa Troop weapons#Decide what to do with this category|this proposal]], [[:Category:Koopa Troop weapons]] is to be deleted. Is it possible to run a bot removing this category from all pages that have it? {{User:Swallow/sig}} 12:47, December 23, 2023 (EST)
== Proposal ==
There's a [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Split the "&lbrack;remake title&rbrack; + &lbrack;completely new game title&rbrack;" games|proposal]] that is nine days old. Can you mark the proposal as passed? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 10:08, December 30, 2023 (EST)
:For clarity's sake, I just archived it. As stated [[User_talk:Porplemontage#Proposal_approval|above]], you can also archive proposals that have reached their deadline yourself. [[User:Power Flotzo|Power Flotzo]] ([[User talk:Power Flotzo|talk]]) 06:42, December 31, 2023 (EST)
== Mass editing request ==
I would like to request that the string:<br>
<code><nowiki>''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''|4=Optimized with TinyPNG</nowiki></code><br>
found across the file pages of hundreds of ''Mario Kart Tour'' screenshots (such as [[:File:MKT Tour101 Spotlight Shop Flowery Badwagon.jpg]]) be replaced with:<br>
<code><nowiki>''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''<br>Screenshot taken on Redmi Note 10 Pro|4=Cropped at photopea.com, then optimized with TinyPNG</nowiki></code><br>
The layout of the elements shown in these screenshots may adapt to the device's screen size, and I think it's best if the device is mentioned for verifiability and such. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:53, January 18, 2024 (EST)

== Navtemplate colors ==
Hi, should the navtemplate for ''Princess Peach: Showtime!'' use the same color scheme as the one for ''Super Princess Peach''? I just ask because it's not yet brought up at [[MarioWiki:Navigation templates]] and it would make the most sense since both are the only games where Peach is treated as the primary protagonist. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 17:23, February 23, 2024 (EST)
:Yes, sounds good. I've renamed the class from <code>spp</code> to <code>peach</code> to generalize it for more uses. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 17:47, February 23, 2024 (EST)
== Vector 2022 bug ==
Hi. Why does this page look so strange?
: https://www.mariowiki.com/Donut_Block?useskin=vector-2022
It seems that if a page has at least four headings, and one of them has an unclosed italics <code>'<nowiki/>'</code>, such as:
<pre>
==''a==
==b==
==c==
==d==
</pre>
then the following HTML will be output under the Vector 2022 skin:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<i>
    <div class="mw-content-container">...</div>
    <div class="mw-footer-container">...</div>
</i>
</syntaxhighlight>
The effect of the extraneous <code>&lt;i&gt;</code> is to make the whole page italic and extremely narrow. --[[User:Dine2017|Dine2017]] ([[User talk:Dine2017|talk]]) 06:17, March 17, 2024 (EDT)
:It seems fine [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Porplemontage&oldid=1214206408&useskin=vector-2022 on Wikipedia], so the fix should eventually make its way downstream to us. In the meantime, those tags should be closed anyway. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 11:27, March 17, 2024 (EDT)
== Fandom interwiki link ==
Can you please change the URL that the <code><nowiki>[[wikia:c:<wiki>]]</nowiki></code> interwiki link generates from <code><nowiki>https://community.fandom.com/wiki/c:<wiki></nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>https://<wiki>.fandom.com</nowiki></code>? Thanks! {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 13:45, March 21, 2024 (EDT)
:That is not possible due to how [[Special:Interwiki]] works. Luckily we can use {{tem|fandom}} instead. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 14:06, March 21, 2024 (EDT)
::So are you going to remove the <code><nowiki>[[w:c:<wiki>]]</nowiki></code> interwiki link if the proposal [[Template talk:Fandom#Decide whether to add the language parameter and/or change back to the interwiki link template|here]] gets declined, since Fandom's interwiki link had problems in the past? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 12:28, March 22, 2024 (EDT)
:::No, I don't plan on it. While I would encourage articles to use {{tem|fandom}}, the <code>wikia</code> interwiki is a pretty standard one to have and it's fine to have for backwards-compatibility, use in the userspace, etc. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 13:37, March 22, 2024 (EDT)

== A bot request ==
[[Talk:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass#Italicize the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Per this proposal]], ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' is to be italicised in full, but it seems to still not be consistently enforced. Could you run a bot to change the following?
*<code>Booster Course Pass</code> -> <code><nowiki>''Booster Course Pass''</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki>''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass</nowiki></code> -> <code><nowiki>''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass''</nowiki></code>

== Ruby template ==
Hi, just letting you know of a [[User talk:Archivist Toadette#The wiki's Ruby template makes the rubies unreadable on Chrome|certain comment]] ([[User talk:Archivist Toadette/Archive 4#The wiki's Ruby template makes the rubies unreadable on Chrome|permalink]]) left on my talk page just now. To summarize, the {{tem|ruby}} template apparently displays text too small for it to be readable on Chrome, and [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] suggested that the text size on the template be changed to 67% of the standard font size. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 20:05, April 16, 2024 (EDT)
:More specifically, to change it from MediaWiki's ruby standard of "font-size: 50px", to 67%. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 20:13, April 16, 2024 (EDT)
==Potential mass-conversion of YouTube links from HTTP→HTTPS with bot(s)==
From a sample of a mere 27 games (the ones in [[:Category:Wii U games]]), 21 (± 1) YouTube links in the articles were still written within the articles as http://. If the statistic holds true for the 28,610 pages that are listed on the front page, this would result in Mario Wiki as a whole needing to convert a low-to-medium four-digit amount of links. Manually converting each link on each page would not be realistically possible, unfortunately.
I've built up some RegEx skills over the years, and if PorpleBot uses the syntax I've seen used for wiki bots, i.e. "$1" instead of "\1", I propose adding <code><nowiki>([\=]|//|\s{1,})http://(www\.|m\.)?youtube\.com/</nowiki></code> → <code><nowiki>$1https://www.youtube.com/</nowiki></code> to the bot.
Starting with YouTube links would in theory an easy starting point, as its video IDs have remained unchanged for each video for almost two decades, whereas sites like IGN and Gamespot are much more prone to having old links to them end up on 404 pages. YouTube also has full 100.0% support for HTTPS on all of its pages, while many gaming sites and Nintendo official sites have it depend on their sites' sections. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 02:46, April 26, 2024 (EDT)
:I did something which will automatically update the YouTube links, and many more, to HTTPS without needing to edit anything. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 10:23, April 26, 2024 (EDT)
== Undeletion/un-delete template request ==
Recently, a user went on a frenzy marking Smash redirects and miscellaneous pages for deletion due to misinterpreting a proposal ([https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Super_Mario_RPG&diff=4183982&oldid=4183966 as clarified by the original proposer, they just wanted categories removed]), and one of the sysops deleted several of them. Can a bot remove those templates and someone undelete (and restore the history of) the erroneously deleted redirects?
