MarioWiki:Main Page talk archive 17
Welcome to Main Page talk. This is where technical issues go. For all general questions, please visit the FAQ.
Categories and Sub-Categories
Just a question about categories. So, if I understood the guidelines right, enemies that only appear in the Yoshi series should be placed in Category: Yoshi Enemies but not in Category: Enemies. Now, what about non-game characters? They go in Category: Non-Game Characters, but should one also add Category: Characters to the article? I've seen different ways of handling this. (And, btw, is there any guideline of how to order categories at the end of an article? Sorry if this is written somewhere, I didn't find anything.) Time Questions 07:14, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
- I don't believe we have any official rules for either (that is, non-game sub-categories and the order of categories). -- Son of Suns
- Thanks. In my opinion, it's useless to add "Characters" if there's "Non-Game Characters" already, so that'll be my rule... Time Questions 13:19, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
- Category: Enemies, Category: Yoshi Enemies, Category: Donkey Kong Enemies exist, but there's no category for all of them together. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:53, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
- Too bad. I'm guessing we don't want to duplicate Enemies to Mario enemies and then leave the enemies category for everyone? Stumpers! 18:00, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
Database Error
Help! I can't get back on my userpage! I was trying to put a link to my newly-made spritesheet on my userpage before I showed it to Minimariolover10, but when I did, I got this "database error" saying "A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery". MySQL returned error "1030: Got error 127 from storage engine (localhost)"." And now I can't get back on!! Half my life's work is on there! What can I do??

I WANT MY PAGE BAAAAACK!!!
Gaahhh!!! I'm so sorry!! That was all my fault! I have no idea why that happened!! I deserve to be punished!!
Really. I am. I would never do anything to jepordize this site. I love it here. I was only trying to get my version of one of my spritesheets up. Minimariolover10, I esecially want you to see them, but you'll have to go on my userpage, as I don't want to try and paste that link anywhere else.
I think we are overdue for a move. Glowsquid
We HAVE been getting a number of errors lately (the other day, an error page told me that Wayoshi's talk page was a glitched article), but that's not too uncommon. We normally have about a three day period every few weeks where things are a bit slow. --

Background Images
Is it possible to put images of something...anything...and use it as the background for a userpage, or something like that? And if so, how?

Dimentio Controversy
I'm sure most of us are well aware of the fact that Super Paper Mario was just recently released in the PAL regions.
Well, Dimentio is now a featured article, and the portion of the article tells exactly what Dimentio does at the end of the game.
I think this could be a bit of an issue, as anybody in the PAL region might read it and *boom* ending's spoiled.
Should we edit what we put on the Main Page for Diment', or what? NMRodo
- The article contains spoiler tags, correct? They would only read the article if they WANTED spoilers. ~Uniju(T-C-E)
- Yes, but the Featured Article section doesn't have spoiler tags, and it reveals what he does at the end. NMRodo
UK release
Mario & Sonic has been out in the UK since the 23rd, please post it up on news :D
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dancingcyberman (talk).
- You should feel free to do so yourself. The news is just like any other page. Click on the "Help us maintain this page" tab near the bottom of the main page and then you can edit the news from another link. I'll try to do it for you this time, though. Thanks for catching that! Stumpers! 21:16, 25 November 2007 (EST)
- Oh, I just couldn't see an 'Edit' button so I assumed it was up to the Admins. Wario Land: Shake, Sonic and the Black Knight, Bomberman WiiWare, Paper Mario DS and Sonic Unleashed all within a year? Excuse me while i faint...
