*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. | |||

*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. | *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.

*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. | *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). | |||

*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. | 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. | ||
*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>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!]]?

*Test rumble support for games that have "Technical aspects" paragraphs.

*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>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> | ||

*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. | |||

*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. | |||
