RULES
  1. Standard Template:Color-link-piped apply, of course. No spamming, trolling, vandalizing, removing comments, etc. Please follow the rules, your comment will get removed otherwise. You don't have to sign your comments here, but it'll make it easier for me to get back to you if you do.
  2. No swearing or obscenity. These words will get edited out ASAP.
  3. Please don't ask why I reverted or corrected your edit. Usually, I have a good reason and can back it up. Take a look at Template:Color-link-piped or the page history for more information regarding your edit, if available. If you must, you can ask for clarification, but only if you provide more than "Why did you delete my edit?!" (which will get removed).
  4. Questions about my Power Master games and/or YouTube videos are fine. There are other places for those kinds of talk, of course, but I don't mind them on here.
  5. Any questions relating to a different wiki, please post on my talk page there. If you're here to complain about a block I gave you on other wikis, your comment will be removed, though I may clarify a block on Discord if needed. Though if you need my immediate attention elsewhere, you can notify me here (or Discord), as I'm more active here than anywhere else.
  6. I'm a friendly guy and am willing to engage in friendly conversation, so long as the sections don't become too excessive. If a topic header already exists for your question, please post under that.
  7. I will archive once this talk page reaches 100 messages. Please do not make any message telling me to archive. It's a waste of a notification, and it will be removed.
  8. Unless it's an important response you should know about or if I started the conversation on your page, I will respond here.
  9. I welcome friendship, but only if I know you well enough.
  10. I'm all for helping with games, so long as I own it or the guide! Otherwise, I probably won't be able to help much.

The hand thing

??? and "Hand" are explicitly the same character. Note the source they use to give "Hand" its name.
"Many characters from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask appear in Labrynna, and the hand in the toilet is one of them."
Note that this is in lowercase and explicitly identified as the same character. So by Zeldawiki's standards, they must be different, particularly as they cite Hyrule Encyclopedia (which has the exact same situation SMBE had for us, they just refuse to acknowledge that). As for "Phoeni," that's a PRIMA name for a character that in the game itself was called ???. They were split three days ago by an admin. Anyways, I'm just going to consider this the ultimate proof that Zeldawiki is broken beyond repair. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:21, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

I messed up again :/

Hi Alex, sorry to bother you. I've been trying to upload some pictures from the DK Wiki on to the site and I keep on messing up. I want to thank you for fixing my Tomato pic. As you can probably tell I have no idea what I'm doing. I thought I had it figured out, but then I made the same mistake with these two files:

https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Ghost_Book.png

https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Klam.png

So I was wondering if you could fix them for me and let me know what I'm doing wrong so I don't have to keep on asking you for help.

Thank you, EDShoot (talk) March 26, 2019

Wiki rules

The rules of this wiki say that if a normal user adds his or her point (whether it be for advice or not) on another user's talk page on which an admin gave a warning or block, it just makes the admins' jobs harder. Why would that be the case if the commenting user wants to give the warned or blocked user advice or a past experience? Dwhitney (talk) 13:49, March 27, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Yoshi Colors

The proposal was initially just about Green Yoshi for now, but I was encouraged to switch gears to more/all colors ahead of time. That might have been how you overlooked it, although it definitely wasn't my intention, and it did get 12-1-2 in favor of merging after all. I did just take into account the platform games when I made the proposal (though I'd consider Super Mario Sunshine one special Yoshi with unique color-changing abilities and Super Mario Galaxy 2 just the main green Yoshi under the temporary affects of power-up fruit), but Baby Luigi did bring up the stat differences in the spinoffs. The individual colors and their occasional differences will be mentioned in the species article when the merge is complete. I was also thinking about adding a table of appearances for the Yoshi colors in the species article, so that information is now in one easily accessible spot. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:45, March 27, 2019 (EDT)

Deletion

Okay, I uploaded a better image, and this time I want to mark the old image for deletion correctly. To get rid of the links the old image marks, should I change its filename to the new filename on all its pages? And on the old image's file page, should the new image's filename be after "{{delete|[[:File:Image.png|replaced"? Dwhitney (talk) 22:17, March 28, 2019 (EDT)

Colored Yoshi articles

I'm going to miss those colored Yoshi articles, but considering that the other colored Yoshis aren't as famous as the one Yoshi we all know and love, I think it's better to have their information on the Yoshi (species) article. Maybe the thumbnail that was on each colored Yoshi article could be added to the "Gallery" section on the Yoshi (species) article or to its article's gallery page? Dwhitney (talk) 13:12, March 29, 2019 (EDT)

Probably. LinkTheLefty (talk) is the one working on it. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:27, March 29, 2019 (EDT)

Beta Kretin

Image-quality won't change that TSR doesn't have a rip for it and that appears to be a jpg-to-png conversion. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:57, March 30, 2019 (EDT)

Point of the image-quality template is to notify that the image needs improved. TSR may not have the sprite now, but they could later. The image does have a use despite its quality, and it is clear what this image is supposed to be, so it doesn't need to be deleted. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:15, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
It's misleading and against policy.....also TSR has none in queue and haven't added anything to that section for months. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:18, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
Looks more like a poor YouTube capture than a jpg to png conversion to me. How is it misleading? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:24, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
Because it's not a true sprite rip. sprite rips are at least mostly pixel-accurate. This isn't even size-accurate, much less a good crop. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:43, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
Alright, good point. Perhaps an actual cropped screenshot would work better until the actual sprite gets ripped, if you're able to do that. For now, I'll get rid of this thing. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:54, March 30, 2019 (EDT)

Lost some history

This has been bothering me, what exactly did you mean here? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:18, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

The link Mari0fan100 posted went to a fake warning, but the talk page owner, B.wilson, started removing their talk page content for several revisions and no one put any of it back. That's what I meant, I meant the user talk page's history is "lost", as in it'd be difficult (not to mention, pointless) to restore it all back.
Sorry, I meant to clarify but I forgot to go back to that >_< Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:23, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
OK, that makes sense. That sort of confusion is why when I'm responding to a point several indentations ago, I match my indentations up as though the ones between them aren't there. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:29, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
Yeah, I didn't exactly place that well, either. My bad for saying something completely irrelevant and unhelpful ^^; Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:44, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Friends?

If I were to be your friend (as I think we're on friendly terms now), what would that mean? Dwhitney (talk) 01:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, we're pretty friendly :) It means you can put my friend userbox to your userpage, and I could add yours to my page. No perks or anything, just a fun thing that shows we get along well :P Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 01:05, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

To put your friend userbox on my userpage, must I add info about me on my userpage? Dwhitney (talk) 22:34, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

You can just add the userbox if you want to. Whatever you put on your userpage is up to you. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:37, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

It's done. Dwhitney (talk) 22:55, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Yay ^^ Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:56, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Are you going to add my friend userbox to your userpage? (Oh, wait ... do I even have a friend userbox?) Dwhitney (talk) 13:59, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

You do not have a userbox, but I would add it if you made one! Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 16:36, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

How do I make a userbox? Dwhitney (talk) 16:50, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

You can copy the coding of any available userboxes (mine, for example) and adjust the coding as you see fit, using preview to check and keep adjusting until you end up with something you like. You can find more userboxes and how to use them at MarioWiki:Userboxes. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 16:54, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

Filenames

Why do you admins prefer that image filenames have lowercase extensions? Dwhitney (talk) 01:17, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Consistency, mainly. Makes things easier to remember. Unlike mainspace capitalization autoredirects, typing "jpg" will not work for an image that has "JPG" in the filename. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 01:23, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Mario riddle 2

Here's another Mario riddle I made up. Bowser challenges Mario to play Game & Watch Gallery 4--collecting all 220 stars--in one day. Mario accepts the challenge, with Bowser believing it won't be done. Mario goes home and starts playing the game from the beginning. After a few failed attempts, he earns five stars in every minigame mode, except for Game B in the Classic and Modern versions of Donkey Kong 3 and Boxing, since he doesn't have anyone with whom to play the two-player modes. As a result, he collects 200 stars. He even plays the Museum games just for fun. The next day, Mario returns to Bowser to show him the result. Bowser is shocked to see that Mario collected all 220 stars, meaning Mario won the challenge. However, Mario didn't have an extra copy of Game & Watch Gallery 4, and he didn't ask anyone to play the two-player modes with him that day. How did Mario win Bowser's challenge? Dwhitney (talk) 14:35, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Can you get stars from Museum games? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:12, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

No, you can't. Dwhitney (talk) 17:13, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Then I don't know. Don't have the game, so I don't know how we would do this. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:18, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Answer: Mario showed Bowser a save file of when he previously completed the game. Dwhitney (talk) 17:26, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Doesn't the game only have one save file? Or would that mean Mario has an extra copy, which he could've used to get the remaining stars? Looking at a video doesn't show me any kind of file selection. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:31, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

In the description section of World of Longplays' YouTube videos of Game & Watch Gallery 4, the player says that he couldn't receive the last 20 stars since he didn't have another player, but he found a save with the cast credits. That's how I got the idea for this riddle, but maybe I misunderstood it? Dwhitney (talk) 17:50, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, that's the video I found, but I... don't know. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:53, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Poem

This is a poem I wrote. I call it "Twenty-one Errors in an Essay." Please tell me what you think. Can you identify the 21st error?

What is so wrong about my essay, My non-understanding teacher?

For me to begin, you wrote in pen; You didn't intent each paragraph within. You didn't write neat and wrote the number two, And as for homonyms, you wrote the wrong blue. There are no periods, colons, or commas; And as for spelling, you misspelled drama. Your name isn't here and nor is the date; You finished this paper and turned it in late. You've too many and{'}s and too many then{'}s; You used the same adverbs over again. You used contractions, and I told you so, To use them in essays, the answer is no. Proper nouns need to be capitalized; Plagiarizing's bad, in case you haven't realized. You didn't quote dialogue, as you can see; And in this sentence, you're supposed to use we.

Sorry about my essay, Miss ... I had a day to finish this. Dwhitney (talk) 18:10, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry the poem isn't formatted the way it's supposed to be. Dwhitney (talk) 18:12, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Don't worry about the formatting, pay it no mind.
I read it all, the error was easy to find.
I didn't even have to finish to find the mistake.
Though I may have had to do a double-take.
The error is obvious, even more so if read live.
You simply misspelled "indent" on line five. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:26, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Gosh darn autocorrect! That wasn't the error I had in mind. The last error is hinted in the last two lines of the poem. What is it? Dwhitney (talk) 18:40, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Well, darn, I put effort into that XD I figured it had something to do with the end of the poem, but I wasn't sure. I've turned in single-day long assignments late before, so that doesn't seem like a mistake to me. Well, a different kind of mistake, if that's what it is. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:45, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Start with the line "Sorry about my essay, Miss ..." and read the line after that. This error might be the biggest one to make in an essay (it's likely something a lot of people do when they don't want to do something they need to do at the moment). What is it? Dwhitney (talk) 18:52, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

...Lie? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:55, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

No, not that. Here's a clue: This error that the student made in writing his essay led to him making all the other errors. It can be summarized in only one common word. Dwhitney (talk) 19:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Procrastination is the other word coming to mind, but if that's it, I have no time frame here. Turned it in late, yes, but how long did they have to work on the essay? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:08, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

You got it! The time frame doesn't matter. The student had time to write a better essay, but because he procrastinated, he ended up rushing through it after realizing it was overdue; as a result, his teacher gave it a failing grade. I've had some experiences of that (though probably not with that many errors). When we procrasinate, what we need to get done either doesn't get done at all or doesn't get done as planned. Procrastination seems like a little thing, but it can make a big difference, usually negatively. Dwhitney (talk) 19:22, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Your poem was nice, anyway. Dwhitney (talk) 20:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Thanks :P I get it, procrastination sucks. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:03, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Here's another poem I wrote. I was inspired to write it after seeing the Mario Party 9 minigame Don't Look. This poem is called "Don't Look!" What do you think of it?

The arrows are pointing up, left, and right.
Now's your chance to look around.
Hey! You weren't supposed to look up.
You were supposed to look down! Dwhitney (talk) 19:49, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
You mean Look Away.
Pretty good, but please try not to make excessive new sections on my talk page. Just the one header is enough, and I keep getting notifications... Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:03, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry about that. Dwhitney (talk) 20:08, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

Can you delete Knight so I can move Yaburiki? Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png

Gull and Albatross

Remember when you said you wanted to see a source for the Wario Land II info? You're in luck! The YouTube video "Wario Land II - Game Manual (GB) (Instruction Booklet)" uploaded by Game Instruction Manual Retro is the source I found. However, it appears not to say anything about the white birds. Maybe they weren't named back then?

By the way, nice image on your user page. Dwhitney (talk) 01:02, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

Sounds vaguely familiar. Where did I say that? ^^; If they aren't given a name anywhere in the manual or game, perhaps a guide somewhere? Regardless, how it is now works, maybe we can slap {{part conjecture}} on it...
And thanks, switching things up for April Fools' why not :P Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 01:10, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
Reminder that they use recycled graphics. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:20, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

Mario Kart 64

I recently had a chance to play Mario Kart 64 with my siblings, and boy, did it bring back memories! I forgot that in VS, the sound effects of the first player, including the kart, item boxes, and water and lava fall-ins, are omitted (at least, in two-player mode)--bummer.

The "Enemies" section table on the Mario Kart 64 article has "Bat" red-linked, but I'm not sure an article about it should be created, likely because there's not much info about it. Also, the "Non-playable" table section requests that additional images be uploaded, but an image is in each row in the first column. What are your thoughts about these? Dwhitney (talk) 23:17, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

For older TVs with only one audio port, it actually depends which audio color plug you put in. I think it's red for top and white for bottom. If both can be inserted, should work fine. We did four-player Mario Kart 64 the other day, and sound played just fine.
The Bat enemy is really just a generic bat, it doesn't do much until that run into you. It's role was replaced by Swoops in later games, so maybe it should link to there? The image template has been moved down a section. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:23, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

According to the in-game quotes on the Banshee Boardwalk article, the bats are simply called "bats," so maybe "Bat" on the Mario Kart 64 article shouldn't link to Swoop. Dwhitney (talk) 22:59, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

True, but "bat" is used generically, and isn't significant enough to warrant its own article. Removing the link altogether is also an option. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 23:04, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

I might just do that. Dwhitney (talk) 23:06, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

DK WIKI

Hello it has been a while since I was on but I am going to help DK WIKI [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:57, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

Okay, welcome back. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:59, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

And uh how do I merge things again my username is HERODK on the dk wiki [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:02, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

Look over the information on DKWiki to see if there is anything worth bringing over on to Mario Wiki, like missing level information and certain images, just by copy and pasting. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:03, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
Things might need to be rewritten due to the DKWiki's generally poor writing. Once merged add a {{delete}} template to the DKWiki page and RMV will delete it. Doomhiker (talk)Artwork of a Topmini from Super Mario Galaxy 19:06, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

Do I need something to tell I am merging? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:22, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

Placing a delete template on the DKWiki page tells that is has been looked over. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:23, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

About the OGA file on Mario Party Pandemonium.

Mikoro filled up a "reupload" claim on the file because the beginning was cut off, but is this REALLY necessary? I've seen a lot of OGA files that had the beginning cut off, which made me think that is how it was supposed to be like. --Tent2 (talk) 17:11, April 3, 2019 (EDT)

I already reverted it. Sample tracks don't have to have a beginning, that's up to the uploader I believe. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:12, April 3, 2019 (EDT)

Protected pages

I noticed that the Game & Watch and Secret Aquarium articles were protected indefinitely because people kept adding to them things that weren't intended to be said in them ("Game Watch" for "Game & Watch" and "Drown House" for "The Secret Aquarium"). Just for the heck of it, I looked up "super mario 64 ds drown house" on both Google and YouTube to see what I could find. The first results on neither website were "the Secret Aquarium," so I wonder where people got that phrase. Any ideas? Dwhitney (talk) 15:44, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

Probably just vandals trying to mess around with no real reason. Also, a level filled with water=the player drowning. Doomhiker (talk)Artwork of a Topmini from Super Mario Galaxy 15:57, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
https://oneyplays.fandom.com/wiki/The_Drown_House Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 16:51, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

How ever did you find such a source for my question? Dwhitney (talk) 18:53, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

I looked it up a while ago, when the vandalism first started happening. Just searching "The Drown House" gave me that as the first result. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:18, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

RE: SHROOM

You're welcome, and you can have mine as well :) Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:59, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

Should I cancel the vote? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:39, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

I just want to know what you think... I really wonder why your not a burucat. You are so helpful.[-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:44, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

I have to agree with HEROMARIO. Why aren't you a bureaucrat? You are really helpful. TheDarkStar Sprite of the Dark Star from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey 18:47, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
That's not up to me :P Bureaucrats nominate other admins, but I like being an admin. If it happens, it happens. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:48, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

Can you cancel the vote. Also if I was one I would mention you. I have a good felling that you are being talked about!!! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:51, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

Same. TheDarkStar Sprite of the Dark Star from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey 18:54, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
Well, thanks ^^ Yeah, I'll cancel the thing. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:55, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

PDKJR

The main problem with the last PDKJR proposal was that pretty much all of the votes were joke votes. Even ones from the admins. So, if a proposal was made, would it be treated seriously with any joke votes being removed by the admins? Doomhiker (talk)Artwork of a Topmini from Super Mario Galaxy 21:07, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

...I have absolutely no clue. Really the one you have to convince is Glowsquid. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 21:12, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

Question

Hey, mind if I go ahead and start removing notes sections from level infoboxes? Just figured it'd be kinda rude to do that without asking first. Who has lost his tail? 01:10, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

People have already started doing that, so... *shrugs* Yeah, there's a lot to go through, so any help is appreciated ^^ Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 01:14, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Invalid vote

GrainedCargo192's vote here is invalid, as his vote is stating that splitting Gummits would create stubs, despite stub pages only referring to pages that lack information, not necessarily small pages. It is not the first time were he mislabeled stubs, and he has been told before that stubs are not always small articles and vice versa. While TDA has told him that it happened a day ago and his vote has not been changed, so it may be time for it to be removed. Doomhiker (talk)Artwork of a Topmini from Super Mario Galaxy 12:40, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

The vote isn't invalid, but it's not correct, either. He has yet to edit the wiki after his votes on the fourth, and he still has time to remove it if he wants to. If he doesn't and the proposal passes anyway, it wouldn't matter. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:44, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
The thing that matters thought is that fact that it would most likely stall the change for two weeks: FanOfYoshi would be able to cancel the proposal and put it in to effect due to having a consensus and being consistent with the rest of the wiki if it was not for his vote which is based off a misconception that he had for a while. Doomhiker (talk)Artwork of a Topmini from Super Mario Galaxy 12:50, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
He's been told about how stubs work now, he wasn't then. He can chose to ignore it, in which case, he would just keep getting reminded, but he now has something to tell him that short articles don't mean stubs. Because of TDA's message, no further action needs to be taken at the moment.
I'm honestly on the fence about this proposal, seems more like a Green/Red Koopa Troopa thing to me. I think canceling should be held off. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:57, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Controls

Sorry I am trying to add stuff for people in the game controls could you help me maybe? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:35, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I fixed what I thought needed fixing. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:36, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
thank you!!! I am doing the things in order next: Super mario land! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:37, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

User

Should I give waluigi time a warning I checked the policy and he changed my comment and on the help page it said that that is a level 2 [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:26, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

I wan’t to do it if yes [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:27, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

No. Your comment was forum talk, as in better suited to the forums rather than a wiki talk page. Waluigi Time is in the right. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:28, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Oh ok. Thats why I wanted to make sure. [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:29, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

I just wish he would instead tell me [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 22:29, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

He reverted with "forum talk" in the summary. Maybe instead of going "hey man, that's not nice", could've gone with "what does forum talk mean?" Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:31, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Bat

ahem

Additionally, there is some interesting notes on it to be made, such as its lack of existence in the Time Trials. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:57, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Idea

I had a very cool idea and I told this user Owencrazyboy9 but I have it in my copy/paste would you like to see it? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:25, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

It is a way for people not the have info spoiled! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:27, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I saw it. We don't hide spoilers, though an option to hide images so they don't load and increase some load times is interesting. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:28, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
It would help everyone because all you would have to do is <spoiler> Insert spoiler </spoiler> I don’t know it is up to porplemontage. Maybe we should tell him I don’t know... BACK TO EDITING!!! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:43, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
The spoiler thing has been talked about multiple times. It's not happening. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:44, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
Go figure. hey have you been on the mindless junk page of the forums? There is a lot of cool things and that is where you can find me go check it out! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:49, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
Yeah, I saw you there. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:52, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
Nice thing is that the rules arn’t THAT strict. It is a breath of fresh air... [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 12:57, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Unblocking request

I noticed on one of your archived talk pages, a previously blocked user asked you to unblock him/her, saying that he/she knew the rules now and promised to obey them. You replied that you were going to discuss it with the other admins. However, because that user created another account while blocked, your answer was "no." If that user hadn't done that, would you have unblocked him/her? Dwhitney (talk) 13:18, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Who knows? I don't know how that conversation would've gone, since I ended it immediately. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:19, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Stuff

And this is why you should be a burucat! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:25, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

Agreed. Also, it's spelled "bureaucrat". TheDarkStar Sprite of the Dark Star from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey 18:25, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

"the enemy list guy"

I think that's a rash assumption, given what they did was get rid of a plural that shouldn't have been there (note it says there's only one). It could have been any random person who noticed that mistake. Is the IP in a similar range, at least? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:59, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Yes, the IP was in a range with a few other IPs the person used. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:00, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Rename

I think you can rename the sliding punch article. Right? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:53, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I'll get to it in a moment ^^ Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:55, April 8, 2019 (EDT)
Thank you!--Tent2 KirbySleepingAnimated.gif 19:56, April 8, 2019 (EDT)

Notes

The proposal also said that if the content of the "notes" section wasn't specifically mentioned in the article otherwise, it should not be removed, but moved to somewhere within the article. Otherwise, we're losing information. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:29, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

I know. I'm looking over the content, but there may also be times when what's in the Notes parameter just isn't noteworthy. But if you think I missed something, you're welcome to add it. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:30, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Dkwiki

Can I have some help on like getting the ability to delete things on the dk wiki. Its fine if no it’s just I want to help. [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:09, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

I don't even have the ability :P Results May Vary wants to look over marked articles anyway, just to double-check. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:10, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
Ok I put my request on the request page so if it happens. It happens I will try to help more. [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:12, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
I see it. But you don't need to be an admin to move things over. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:15, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
Ok, I know but it will help! So yeah! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:17, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
As far as bringing information over is concerned, it will do absolutely nothing different. But up to the votes. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:18, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Tiki proposal

I'd forgotten about that, thanks. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:27, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

No problem :) Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 21:27, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
Glad someone else remembered. Anyways, that "Alex the Toad" fellow is doing edits suspiciously similar to those of CoolYoshi, so they probably are indeed the same person. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:40, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Admin noticeboard

I was more talking about the repetitive "NO ONE CAN UNDO THIS" behavior than edit warring. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:32, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

He wasn't on a last warning for that specifically. But since he was ignoring our questions, we made the decision for him. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:37, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Your opinion

Just out of curiosity, why do you like being an admin? Dwhitney (talk) 23:00, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

I like being able to do maintenance in a community I've followed for... almost a decade now, wow. Help others with article deletions and projects that require an admin. And take care of vandals when they happen. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 23:05, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Hi

I need to know. Is it possible to play your powermaster games on an Ipad because you do a great deal of good things that it seems like it would be fun! Thank you for helping me with everything [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:39, April 10, 2019 (EDT)

I have not tested Power Master on an iPad, but it has not worked on my smartphone, so I assume it would be the same thing? If you want to give it a whirl, though, go ahead, but I'll do some more testing myself later. And you're welcome :) Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:43, April 10, 2019 (EDT)
Ok I am on 3G so it might take 1 million years but I will try. [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:44, April 10, 2019 (EDT)

Stretch Guy and Melon Guy names

Hey! Can you check out if the Stretch is called "Stretch Guy", or "Melon Guy" at any point in both guides? They currently are redirects, which i use both of them. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 13:21, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, I'll check in a bit. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:22, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
Those are both old conjecture names, I'm pretty sure. Melon Guy was merged to Stretch when it was realized they were the same thing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:41, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
Yeah, I'm only finding "Stretch". Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:44, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

thumb

I think that was a misguided attempt to format images.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:14, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

Probably, but I banned them for the Flopter and Yoshi Touch & Go edits. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:16, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
Oh, guess I shoulda checked more than just one edit XD. Compy's been a little slow recently.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:22, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

Question

Does using cuss words on a user page count for a warning? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:08, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

No. TheDarkStar Sprite of the Dark Star from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey 14:08, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
(I am capable of answering) Not exactly. It will be if the profanity becomes excessive, though. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:09, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
Like how many times? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:10, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
For a extra and obvious fact, it wouldn't be allowed at all if it was directed to somebody. --Tent2 KirbySleepingAnimated.gif 14:13, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
Ok but. How many times if it is on a userpage? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:12, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
He said excessive, its not like there's a exact amount, but you have to be chill with it. --Tent2 KirbySleepingAnimated.gif 14:13, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
Would 5 probably be when you give it? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:14, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
What is the point of knowning this anyways? Do you plan on swearing?--Tent2 KirbySleepingAnimated.gif 14:17, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
Of course not!!! Its just I saw someone with cuss on there talk and I want to be sure before I give a warning!!! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:18, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
Also on the warning page it said that swearing is a LEVEL 2 OFFENSE. [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:21, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
It never said that. There is literally nothing wrong with occasional profanity as long as it is not directed at other users, discourteously used or extremely excessive. It of course depends on what profanity is used, but for the most part the above applies. Doomhiker (talk)Artwork of a Topmini from Super Mario Galaxy 14:23, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

From MarioWiki:Courtesy:

Swearing at other people is flaming and is unacceptable. The occasional use of profanity is allowed as long as it is not directed at another user, but it should generally be avoided. Similarly, if a user specifically requests that no profanity is used on their talk page, their wishes should be respected. You are free to use profanity in moderation in your own userspace, but if it is decided that you have overstepped the boundaries of good taste, you may be asked to tone it down.

Profanity is not allowed when directed at someone or if there is an excessive amount of it. Not really something to give a warning for either way, unless it turns into outright flaming. If anything, it'd be a userspace warning. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:24, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

Ok well should I give a reminder a userspace warning or what? There is like saying the user thinks toad is a pain in the ***. And the user also said that the user will try and hurt wario and waluigi!!! Uses cuss words at least 4 times![-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:28, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
Who's? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:30, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
I mean regarding profanity, I only think it's worth a warning if it's like far-out-there inappropriate, excessive, disruptive, or a personal attack on someone. Results May Vary (talk) 14:30, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
HEROMARIO, that edit didn't clarify anything. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:34, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
The user is bazooka mario! She also said something about a $#!+!y little baby!!! I think she needs a warning! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:36, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
It is a little excessive and rude. [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:38, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
While I'm not a fan of these words, she knows how to use them in moderation. The phrase is not directed at anyone (other than Baby Mario), and she was asked to take down a whole section of content directed at other users back in 2016. She knows not to call anyone names or insult anyone, considering she's been around since 2009. Her talk page is fine. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:40, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
What about her userpage? [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:42, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
I don't see anything wrong. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:45, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
Ok. Thats why I wanted to make sure. Or else it would be bad for me too!!! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 14:46, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

Yep. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:33, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
It's amazing how long some people will wait to come back and do basically what their calling card is, thus making it wholly transparent who they are. What is the point, I wonder? Self-gratification on some wholly-internal running gag? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:39, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
I think it's just boredom in her case. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:40, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
