*Specialises in [[Princess Peach: Showtime!]], [[WarioWare (series)]], and [[Mario Kart (series)]], in 1-2-3 order. | |||
*Can also handle technical aspects (5.1 native surround, names in other languages, time limits, etc.) in some other games, such as, but not limited to, [[Super Mario Bros.#Time clock]] and [[Paper Mario: The Origami King#Technical aspects]]. | |||
*I've got an Elgato HD60 Pro setup good enough to get proper PNG screenshots of Switch and Wii U games. | |||

*I guess I've been completely annihilated by [[User:Jdtendo]] when it comes to Parisian French terminologies 😅, and I concede that he's far better then me in that regard, as he is ''actually'' from France. | *I guess I've been completely annihilated by [[User:Jdtendo]] when it comes to Parisian French terminologies 😅, and I concede that he's far better then me in that regard, as he is ''actually'' from France. | ||
*While I am not in the LGBT movement (though qualifying as aro), I know how to pay lip service to them to make them very happy in an instant. Nevertheless, with the Mario fanbase (and a ''whole'' lot of other fanbases, e.g. Mickey+Minnie) determining a character's gender from eyelashes alone, speculating in neutralities on the characters' pages is not a hill I'll battle on. | |||
*My debate skills in Proposals threads would be poor at best (harking back to my generally total failures at Sims Wikia's noticeboards), but I guess it can't hurt catastrophically for me to try Proposals threads once or twice, if my stamina permits. | |||
*While I presumed the complexity of Japanese writing styles would help determine what the target audience of a specific game was, I guess I can agree that the effect for games rated below PEGI 12 would be negligible. | |||
*The less commas, the better (Rule of thumb). | |||

**Very large improvements to [[Template:Ruby]] made things a fair bit easier in the time afterwards either way. | |||
*Using <code>colspan=2</code> for "Available by default" outfits, didn't seem worth it, as it'd make the text lean too far to the right at the time of writing. | *Using <code>colspan=2</code> for "Available by default" outfits, didn't seem worth it, as it'd make the text lean too far to the right at the time of writing. | ||

**In most sections, the only differences between France and Québec, is the spacing for !/?. However, fairly large differences are seen in the first section of [[Welcome to the Festival of Sweets]] (e.g., [[Stella]] exclaims "Chouette" in France, but "Super" in Québec). | **In most sections, the only differences between France and Québec, is the spacing for !/?.

**Turns out Québecians do in fact use spaces around colons. Was news to me, at least. | **Turns out Québecians do in fact use spaces around colons. Was news to me, at least. | ||
**JP/SK transliterations are not valid at all to determine soft R's, even more so as I live in a region with extra soft rolling R's, and whose main regions of communication also use it. | |||
*Trying to centre any of the 3D files at Models Resource with 3D file editors, is a 100% guaranteed method to cause severe psychosis and insanity. So don't even ''try'' to get any icons from them. | |||

I think I've got the core stuff for PPS done. Anything remaining at all would be the last 5 levels' pages, which I can only hope goes well. | |||
*<s>Perhaps add notes that PPS (and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)]] uses more advanced Japanese writing than [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]] and [[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]? The formers use Kanji to an extent, the latters use kana '''only'''.</s> | |||
*The visible title differences I could find between Parisian and Montréalian French could be counted on 1 hand ([[Lobby Shop]], [[Strike of Intuition]], [[It's Showtime, Grape!]]), and [[User:Jdtendo]] would be likely to handle any further ones. | |||

*Test rumble support for games that have "Technical aspects" paragraphs. While it's certain to say that ''all'' such games have rumble, I very faintly guess that it's good to have on the record. | |||

*I need to get an animated image of how spectacularly poorly the Theets in [[Mighty Mission: The Rescue]] tried to "defend" themselves with the "swords". | |||
===23 April 2024=== | |||
*I've accidentally got myself into a both-ways "pronoun battle" (Usually I play "both sides" on e.g. Tumblr, but usually end up on the centerlines), so I'll be crosschecking Italian and Russian-language names for characters that have been contentious this week, as those languages have a reputation for very heavy gender-tensing of words. | |||
**[[Mighty Sparkla]]: Il suo / Ним. Strongly implies male, but is ''just short'' of 100.00% confirmation. Still more than Professor's and Mighty Sparkla's less than 40% confirmation in English. | |||
**[[Kung Fu Sparkla]]: No characters in that level, let alone the Sparkla, have any even the vaguest indications in Italian (except Hat Man's congratulation towards Peach). None of the characters even talk about the Sparkla beyond Stella's one-line intro. Combined with the carnival mask, the Sparkla may as well be a robot. | |||
**<s>[[Patissiere Sparkla]]: Even if it were to not be mentioned in dialogs, I'd personally say it's not even a question that she's female, based on her entire design.</s> | |||

*<s>Although it's ended up controversial by the dozen on wikis I've been on before, whether it actually went splendidly, if minimodders thought I couldn't hold a spoon right, or if access was very hardlocked to "Admins only", it'd be within my skill scope to set up an AutoWikiBrowser trial run on Mario Wiki to convert <code><nowiki>([\=]|//|\s{0,})http://(www\.|m\.)?youtube\.com/</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>$1https://www.youtube.com/</nowiki></code> Starting it very simple with one single type of conversion, and extraordinarily safeguarded to not convert Wayback Machine.</s> | |||
*<s>Make pages for: [[Junior Detective]]</s> | |||
*<s>Get 1× scale screenshot of the mermaid at the end of the [[Dribble & Spitz]] [[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]] level, which I admit was the biggest reason I created the [[:Category:Merfolk images]] section.</s> 🧜 | |||
**Get one for the merboy too, presumably; although from what I've understood only for core Mega Microgame$ purposes at most. | |||
*<s>As far as easy-to-suggest Proposals go, a proposal to replace [[Princess_Peach:_Showtime!#Plays]] with a "Main link" to [[Sparkle Theater]] hopefully can't be a too bad first attempt.</s> | |||
*Mass-utilizing [[Template:Cite]], as it seems to be a near-verbatim equivalent to Wikipedia's Cite Web, seems to be a possibly great move, but would be practically impossible to do on a large scale. | |||
===27 March 2024=== | |||
*Due to a total lack of any other plausible options, the icon for a [[Stella ribbon]] page would be the one from the top of her wardrobe menu, with the round red-black circle being extended to a square to avoid any PaintNET wand transparency issues. | |||
**I am '''NOT''' touching any ZIPs from those psychos at The Models Resource ever again, if it's a matter of life and death. Their guides are just "Use Blender, lol, lmao", and Blender is the most evil software ever made. | |||
