It's important that we include the names that were in the version leaked on to the Internet, because these are the names most often used when people talk about these levels. Therefore, it will help minimise confusion. If anyone has any objections, please explain why here. Thanks.

While I accept that these names are unofficial, they are used in many places on the Web and off. A lot of people know the levels by these names, and they might come here looking for more information. To help minimise confusion, I think it would be sensible to include these names in the relevant articles, with a note stating that the names are unofficial but widely used. While I know that unofficial information is not usually allowed on this wiki, this is a special case because of the sheer amount of places that use these names. | While I accept that these names are unofficial, they are used in many places on the Web and off.

*The opposition has raised an important point, which I feel I must address; namely, that of illegal emulation. While it is true that many people will only play these levels using an illegal ROM and emulator due to practicality purposes, amongst other reasons, it is not essential. Using a real Game Boy Advance and a real copy of the game, an individual might load these levels on to his game using either a battery save procured from the Web, or a real e-Reader (it is possible to print out cards that the e-Reader can then read). The most important point is that an illegal ROM has nothing at all to do with this - although it is the most practical way to experience these levels, it is not the only way, and the levels are not stored on the ROM itself. Someone with his own copy of the game only needs to either use an e-Reader, or obtain a battery save, to play these levels without ever using an illegal ROM.

:@Avengah – What does that have to do with the proposal? {{User:Mariomario64/Sig}} 10:41, 10 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
::I posted that as a reply to this comment by GS15: ''we should not use names from a rom which is a pirated version of the game. Nintendo themselves hates emulation and has tried to stop it.'' [[User:Avengah|Avengah]] 20:46, 10 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
'''@Avengah''' heres the real question did nintendo ever release these e-cards in America or any other English speaking country and the answer is no so these names are unofficial and should not be on the articles at all {{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} | |||
:Maybe so, but what about [[Pushy Wall]] and [[Flimp]]? They are unofficial, conjectural names. The articles have been renamed to the Japanese names, but they still say "also known as" followed by the unofficial English name. What's so special about those two articles that their unofficial name is allowed to be in the article, if these names aren't? [[User:Avengah|Avengah]] 20:46, 10 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
::Actually, I see that Pushy Wall has now been renamed to Sliding Stone. However, in the past, it had the Japanese name followed by "also called Pushy Walls" or something to that effect. The Flimp article still does say that. [[User:Avengah|Avengah]] 20:50, 10 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
:I have no idea why they call it that in the article but either way your argument that this article has unoffical info is weak and you know it your only mentioning it cause you have no other argument that says we should use this info which comes from an unofficial source cause you know it's not official and has no place in articles {{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} | |||
::Oh and i removed the Flimp thing from the article cause it's not a real name {{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} | |||
:::Also you should look at the Mario wiki naming policy [http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Naming#Conjectural_Names] {{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} | |||
== Singular/Plural == | |||
The name of the page was ''Super Mario Advance 4 3 e-Cards'', and I moved it to ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Cards''. But now I wonder: should we move the page to ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Card''? The [[Goomba]] article's title is singular, but the [[List of characters|Characters]] article's title is plural. {{User:Banon/sig}} 10:24, 10 April 2013 (EDT) | |||
:I believe "Characters" is plural because the article itself is a list of characters. This article is a list of E-Cards, so I think "E-cards" is more fitting than "E-card". | |||

== Dead Links == | |||
So uh, the links on each card's page linking to an image of the card on some Japanese website all appear to be dead. Anybody have any idea how long this has been like this? More importantly, did anybody think to save those images in case something like this happened? [[User:Vent|Vent]] ([[User talk:Vent|talk]]) 07:28, 16 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
== Mad Dash level == | |||
Where is "Mad Dash"?--[[User:Nate-Dawg921|Nate-Dawg921]] ([[User talk:Nate-Dawg921|talk]]) 15:13, 12 November 2018 (EST) | |||
== Missing Card == | |||
In the article, there are 2 PR level cards. However, in the Wii U version of the game, there are 3 PR levels. Where's the missing level? {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 15:14, January 05, 2023 (CST) | |||
== Level listing and level IDs == | |||
Each level has an ID, which can be a number from 01 to 73! The Star levels use IDs 01-05, Mushroom levels use IDs 11-40, and the three promo levels use IDs 51-53! The highest valid ID that can be saved on the list is 72, with the 73rd being strictly temporary! Any level that has been assigned 73 (no level officially released uses this ID) cannot be saved, nor will e-coin, Ace coin, Mario & Luigi clear data be saved with the 4 symbols being displayed as dashes! It is displayed as a single level with a new page at the end of the level list (thus, up to a possible 10 pages), and is removed from the list completely when a new level card is scanned! Anytime a level that shares an identical level ID is scanned, the old entry is replaced with the new one, and is not given a new entry! --[[User:Tiger21820|Tiger21820]] ([[User talk:Tiger21820|talk]]) 11:16, January 30, 2023 (EST) | |||
== A few things. == | |||
1. Tiger21820, I'm confused on what this is supposed to mean. 2. I never heard anything about ROMS & emulators being illegal. How are people supposed to play games that they don't have on consoles they don't have? 3. My question hasn't been answered. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 12:35, February 1, 2023 (CST) | |||
== Convert to table format == | |||
This article is very difficult to look at. Perhaps reorganizing it as as three tables will make it easier to follow. One question is whether they should be organized with the focus around the Japanese cards, which are complete, or the American cards, because of English source priority. Here are the three examples for headers: | |||
*'''Option 1''': Card ID number, Japanese image, American image ("N/A" if non-existant), Description (English title first unless N/A, English flavor text unless N/A, Japanese title second, Japanese flavor text), Notes | |||
*'''Option 2''': Card ID number, Japanese image, American image ("N/A" if non-existant), Description (Japanese title first, Japanese flavor text, English title unless N/A, English flavor text unless N/A), Notes | |||
*'''Option 3''': Card ID number, American image ("N/A" if non-existant), Japanese image, Description (English title first unless N/A, English flavor text unless N/A, Japanese title second, Japanese flavor text), Notes | |||
Which do you think is the most practical?--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 11:13, February 8, 2023 (EST) | |||
