Suddenly this idea has been revived from the dead and gaining interest rapidly. Here's the idea: Uncyclopedia, but for Mario. However, instead of tons of dumb jokes littered throughout the wiki, we'd be creating our own version of the [[Marioverse]]. See [https://www.marioboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=3612#3612 this forum post from Feb. 9th], and [http://editthis.info/unmariowiki/Main_Page a quick editthis wiki as a test]. We'd be looking for detailed yet clever articles that can be funny or peak our interest of "what if..." etc. While "Un-" implies you can add anything you want, even if it's out of the question, "Fan-" implies that fandom recreation we hope to strive for. So, it's time to vote yet again. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 18:39, 23 March 2007 (EDT) | |||

That's honestly a good point, guys. We're wearing thin on you guys continuously filling up recent changes with talk page edits and moving gif personal images instead of article edits and images for use in articles.
