Welcome to my Talk Page!

The point of my Talk Page is to communicate with me, obviously! You can also see previous discussions here. Please do not vanadalize, speak profanity, troll, etc. here. I also take friend requests!

Also please note: I will reply to all messages on my talk page, and my talk page only. In other words, all conversations on my talk page stay here.

THIS PAGE IS WARIOPROOF THANKS TO PONIES

Due to a recent Wario outbreak, Twilight Sparkle, Sweetie Belle, and Trixie Lulamoon have used their unicorn magic to protect this page from any Wario-related threats. Except Boo Warios apparently...

ItalicsEdit

Hello, Sparks! Thanks for your contributions. When writing titles for media like games, films, TV shows, and publications, please remember to italicize them. This is done by placing two straight apostrophes (not quotation marks or curly apostrophes) on both sides of the title, or clicking on the I icon above the text box and typing out the title. For example, typing out ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generates Super Mario Bros.

Also, Super Effects like Fire (as well as "Super Effect" itself) are proper nouns and should be capitalised.   Mario JC 21:29, November 25, 2022 (EST)

If you can't do this because your device uses curly apostrophes, you can change to straight apostrophes in your settings, or switch to desktop mode and click on the slanted "I" icon when typing game titles.   Mario JC 23:07, November 25, 2022 (EST)

Just to clarify, it's two apostrophes on each side for game titles (italicising), and three on each side for the first mention of the subject in the article (bolding).   Nightwicked Bowser   14:40, November 28, 2022 (EST)

Templates and categoriesEdit

When creating new articles, you should put any relevant templates and categories at the bottom of the page, I would suggest looking at other Sparks of Hope related pages to see which ones. You can see these more easily by going into the editing page on the last section. Also, regarding adding a quote on the Stone Mask page, you can use Template:Quote2 to have the quote without automatic links and have Electroid pipe linked.   Nightwicked Bowser   10:24, November 28, 2022 (EST)

If you're making an article that's not reusing another article's layout and links, please remember to add categories to the articles on your own.   Mario JC 22:22, March 25, 2023 (EDT)

ArticlesEdit

Nice work on the articles! Just a few things, avoid using the Sparks' name every time as it can get repetitive, and try to substitute it occasionally with pronouns (so "it", unless their genders are confirmed in-game), and be aware of how you're linking articles (Poison alone is ambiguous and links to the disambiguation page; Poison (status effect) is the RPG status effect, so the correct link should be: [[Poison (status effect)|Ooze]]).   Mario JC 21:14, November 30, 2022 (EST)

Also, don't bold image captions or anything that isn't the title of the article (like "Midnite's Memory").   Mario JC 06:23, December 24, 2022 (EST)

M+RSOH articlesEdit

Hi! Just wanted to say that you've done a great job with the M+RSOH pages (especially with the creation of the other Sparks). Keep it up! --Zootalo (talk) 18:08, December 1, 2022 (EST)

Replacement imagesEdit

Just FYI, if you need to upload a new version of an existing image that's in the same image format, just click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the existing file page rather than uploading separately. And if you need to rename, click on the "move" tab at the top of the file page (though you need to be on desktop mode to access it).   Mario JC 01:48, December 14, 2022 (EST)

Beep-0Edit

Beep-0 is written with a zero, not the letter O.   Nightwicked Bowser   13:40, December 14, 2022 (EST)

Message about tomorrow’s weatherEdit

Tomorrow I plan on covering more Darkmess Tentacle battles in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, starting with the Palette Prime ones, although there is going to be a very bad ice storm where I live. The power might go out, and I might be unable to create more pages while it’s out. Hopefully that won’t happen, I hope for the best conditions so that I can help out with more Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope pages. If I show no activity tomorrow, it’s because I lost power.   Sparks (talk)   Thursday, December 22, 21:42 (EST)

Italic titleEdit

When making pages which have the game as an identifier in the title, remember to put {{italic title|Article title (''game title'')}} at the top of the page so that the game is italicised in the title as well.   Nightwicked Bowser   11:58, January 25, 2023 (EST)

Oops. I forgot to do that when I made the lighthouse page earlier, as well as some others, sorry about that. I should always look to that when creating a page with the title in it.   Sparks (talk)  , Wednesday, January 25, 2023, 12:28 (EST)

GlideEdit

Just wondering if you're planning to make the article for Glide as well? If so, the redirect page can be edited and turned into the Sparks of Hope article without creating an entirely new page, and it won't need an identifier either.   Nightwicked Bowser   16:50, March 25, 2023 (EDT)

Well, I added a lot of Glide information on the page, so I think it would be safe to say that it wouldn't be worth it to give Glide its own page. I suppose that Glide could just simply redirect to Team Jump (Mario + Rabbids). Although I didn't intend to add in the gliding, it seemed to make sense with it being linked into Team Jump.

Great work on the articlesEdit

Well done! ⭐ Spectrogram (talk) 01:08, April 11, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you so much! So much pressure is taken off now that all of the quests have articles. There's not much more to cover on Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, just a few more locations and other things and maybe some revisions.

  Sparks (talk)  , Tuesday, April 11, 2023, 10:05 (EST)

Darkmess portalEdit

A while back, I asked Porplemontage to run a bot changing the uppercase "p" to lowercase in Darkmess portal as the lowercase "p" is actually the official spelling used in-game (see the quote on top of the Darkmess portal article.   Nightwicked Bowser   19:36, September 6, 2023 (EDT)

Okay. I'm just so used to it being capital letters for both words. I'll make sure that's not the case going forward!   Sparks (talk)   7:37 PM, September 6, 2023 (EST)

About my Snowball Yoshi proposalEdit

The reason there was no comment section is that i was so focused on merging that i completely forgot about the comment section. I'd like to thank you for having fixed this for me. --  FanOfYoshi  13:32, December 1, 2023 (EST)

You're welcome! We all make mistakes from time to time.   Sparks (talk)   December 1, 2023, 13:47 (EDT)

Make more GIFs like thisEdit

 

This wiki needs more of it.   It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 13:55, January 7, 2024 (EST)

This is an anti-Wario GIF image I uploaded yesterday. Do you notice that MARIO is the one knocking out Wario?   Sparks (talk)   13:57, January 7, 2024 (EDT)
Of course I did! 🤣🤣 I immediately shared it with other people. I couldn't fit it in my userpage but maybe I should just have a gallery of Mario's proudest moments in a Mario Party game, and also have a bonus reel showing Mario and friends (and NOT Wario)! I hope your page continues to be Wario-free!   It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:01, January 7, 2024 (EST)
Thanks! There's a chance that this GIF will become a running gag/meme right?   Sparks (talk)   14:02, January 7, 2024 (EDT)
It will probably be for me at this point. I've already put it on someone's talk page.   It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:38, January 7, 2024 (EST)

I just wanted to say hi!Edit

You probably haven't met me, but that's okay because I'm new and haven't done much on the wiki yet. I wanted to say that I think it's awesome that you like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It used to be my favorite show, and my favorite character is Twilight Sparkle too! The Smash and Crab GIF you uploaded is great (in my humble opinion)! I absolutely hate Wario and this GIF is hilarious to me. I also think it's great that you like Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. I love Rabbid Rosalina too, although I was initially like "Wait, they're making a Rabbid version of Rosalina? I don't know whether to laugh or cry...", but she turned out to be an awesome character. Oh, and have I mentioned Rosalina is my favorite Mario series character? I also love your userpage. Thank you for working so hard on the Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope pages and keep working on getting the Rabbid Rosalina page to featured status!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. If you don't reply to this, that's alright. I just wanted to try and brighten your day a little bit. Thank you for contributions! --   FanOfRosalina2007  (talk · edits) 16:21, January 9, 2024 (EST)

Thank you so much! Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope was my main reason for joining the Mario Wiki. I've been on the wiki for a little over a year now, but I'm still learning new things as I edit! As for the Mario Wiki itself, I think the community is awesome and has lots of nice people, like you. And yes, being a brony is something I love.   Sparks (talk)   16:34, January 9, 2024 (EDT)
(Sorry for the late response, I've been busy.) I think it's cool that you're a brony. I'd actually never heard of the term until now, so that's one new word added to my vocabulary! And congrats on Rabbid Rosalina getting featured status!! It's so much more interesting to read now, and I think you did a great job. Have a good day! --   FanOfRosalina2007  (talk · edits) 18:37, January 12, 2024 (EST)
Thank you! I wanted to get her to Featured Status for months now and I finally did so! You have a good day too!   Sparks (talk)   21:00, January 12, 2024 (EDT)

Woo! I mean, BOO!! - Boo Wario, 2024Edit

  You have received a Boo Wario! Forward this to 7,828,577,642 other people or you'll have smelly garlic in your pillow tonight!*
*Actually, don't spam this to any random schmuck, just your worst Wario loving hating enemies.

It looks like Boo Wario has used his invisible Wario powers to cross through the magical barriers! Will your talk page further deterioate into madness? Only time will tell.
With revenge caring love,   It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:28, January 13, 2024 (EST)

I blame Cozy Glow. This page was Warioproof until she arrived. I guess Wario wasn't too happy about those GIF images...   Sparks (talk)   22:23, January 13, 2024 (EDT)

Apparently, Wario likes throwing baby penguins off cliffs!Edit

   Can you believe that? The King of Ice Land (whether it's the one from the NES version, the SNES remake, or if he's a penguin himself) needs to do something about it! We need spread the word, and ensure it reaches the king of Ice Land himself! --  FanOfYoshi  10:38, March 4, 2024 (EST)

What?! What did the baby penguins ever do to Wario? This will not stand! We must protect the penguins AND put an end to Wario's unethical crimes!   Sparks (talk)   10:48, March 4, 2024 (EST)

Proposal cleaned upEdit

I cleaned up my proposal by adding the <pre> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks?  GuntherBayBeee  21:27, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

I think it looks better than when the proposal first started?   Sparks (talk)   21:47, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

SignatureEdit

Hello, just letting you know that your signatures need to be 35 pixels in height, not width, so "35px" should be "x35px".   Mario JC 09:05, April 4, 2024 (EDT)

Whoops. I'll change that. Sorry about that!   Sparks (talk)   09:07, April 4, 2024 (EDT)
Is this better?   Sparks (talk)   09:10, April 4, 2024 (EDT)
 
That should be the correct change! Now, learning how to set a height for an image might come in handy in the future, especially when you want to force Wario to be a certain height to crush him more easily...   It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:25, April 5, 2024 (EDT)
That'll be useful in case any other Warios decide to attempt to take over my talk page.   Sparks (talk)   21:35, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

Thanks for your help!Edit

Hi! I wanted to thank you for helping me withdraw my proposal, as well as voting on it and helping to come up with names for the pages if the proposal passed. I've still got plans to make another proposal if a Sparkla Spirit is not what Stella was referring to in that quote, but I need to finish the game first before I make another one. Anyway, thank you, and have a great day! --   FanOfRosalina2007  (talk · edits) 18:26, April 11, 2024 (EDT)

You're welcome! I'm always happy to help out a friend in need!   Sparks (talk)   18:47, April 11, 2024 (EDT)

Free Golden WarioEdit

I worked hard stealing the statues from Greedville since they were causing distant satellites to go blind from the sheer ugliness and I put them into storage. That being said....

For being promoted to patroller, you have earned a very special Golden Wario of the Day. Never mind the chemical composition of the thing, which is suspiciously FeS2, why not strike it to cause magical flames to demolish all that is terrible, greedy, garlicy, and stinky on this wiki?

 

Keep good care of it! Be careful... this golden Wario statue is prone to oxidation from the air and water, unlike those cheap metals made out of Au. 🙄   It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 12:36, May 17, 2024 (EDT)

Well, I'll be careful with it. It's a statue of Wario, so that's already concerning. Thanks for helping me get to patroller status by the way!   Sparks (talk)   12:45, May 17, 2024 (EDT)

Congrats on your promotion!Edit

I'm excited to hear that you're a patroller now! I hope you enjoy your new position! Best regards,   FanOfRosalina2007  (talk · edits) 13:24, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

Thank you so much!   Sparks (talk)   13:28, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

Whacka and Prince MushEdit

I've checked the game's message files and here's what I've found:

  • Battle themes: Attack-a of the Whacka! and Battle - Prince Mush, with thinking themes
  • Both of them have their own Tattles and entries in the Tattle Log

I'll post the full thing later once we've figured more of it out Scrooge200 (talk)   21:33, May 21, 2024 (EDT)

I've just checked, they have dialogue related to the events and items they give you after. Both are also infinitely repeatable, judging by the text. Prince Mush also has an RDM email related to his challenge. Scrooge200 (talk)   01:45, May 22, 2024 (EDT)

That's another great gif file you uploaded!Edit

 

Nice job on more Wario torture! With you around, he'll NEVER get a break! (I secretly hope Rosalina won that match...) Have a fantastic day! --   FanOfRosalina2007  (talk · edits) 15:48, May 29, 2024 (EDT)

Actually I don't remember who won... but as long as Wario loses it's all good! Thanks for the message!   Sparks (talk)   15:51, May 29, 2024 (EDT)
