Virtual magazine. Not comics. Yeah, sure. It's on the satellaview's page and it has it's own page, too. Shitamachi Ninjo Gekijo. But each o has a line above it. My moron tablet programmers added characters that are vowels with lines above them except for o, for some stupid reason. That's why I couldn't add the virtual magazine myself.

== RE: Hotel Mario == | |||
Eliminating a misused reference doesn't automatically kill the chances of ever getting any audio files uploaded. No need to exaggerate. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:05, October 5, 2019 (EDT) | |||
== RE: Images == | |||
What do you mean? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:43, October 8, 2019 (EDT) | |||
:Well, adding images myself is complicated and I thought if I uploaded the names of whatever, games, television series and films, publications, merchandise, etc and added the sources at the same time, someone could get the images uploaded and then we'd have that content covered. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 21:21, October 8, 2019 (EDT) | |||
::It is not. Save the image to your device (or copy the direct image URL), go to [[Special:Upload]], select "Choose file" (if you saved the image) or paste the URL (if you copied), then fill in the descriptions below (doesn't matter if these are done incorrectly, that can be dealt with later) and hit "Upload file". We're not doing this again. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:45, October 8, 2019 (EDT) | |||
Fine. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 22:01, October 8, 2019 (EDT) | |||
Is the url to an image just a bunch of code like YouTube video links I've been adding or is it like ours with names like so and so.jpg? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 11:02, October 10, 2019 (EDT) | |||
Each image has a URL. At least on a computer (which you do have now), you can get an image URL by clicking and holding on an image and releasing it on the address bar of the browser. You can copy this URL (found in the address bar), then paste the URL into the editing box (without brackets or anything) where you want it. You can use the "show preview" button at the bottom to make sure you have it right. If you do it this way, the image won't be uploaded onto the wiki, but it will be visible for people to see. It's always best to upload it to the wiki if possible, though, especially if it's being used in the mainspace. Thanks. {{User:JoeRunner/sig}} 18:15, October 10, 2019 (EDT) | |||

:He told you like, twice over how you can get the URL. Do what he says and you'll see what it looks like. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 19:15, October 10, 2019 (EDT) | |||
Something else, I can't access my wiki account through my computer. So, I can copy the url and put it in the address bar, but I'll have to type the url down in my tablet character by character. And considering a capital I looks like a lowercase l, that makes me really mad. And it will make it harder.

== Periods on image captions == | |||
[[Special:Diff/2779579|Just to clarify the rules on image captions]]: if the caption is a sentence fragment—meaning it doesn't stand alone as its own sentence—then the caption doesn't have a period. If it's a full sentence—meaning it has a subject, verb, and object—then the caption does have a period. This means that the removals of periods were correct, as they were sentence fragments; just not for the right reason. Just clarifying. {{User:JoeRunner/sig}} 18:35, October 13, 2019 (EDT) | |||
==Wikipedia links== | |||
Hello, changing [[wikipedia:Link|interwiki table links]] to {{wp|Link|template links}} does basically nothing except shorten the coding for the link itself. The wiki isn't a [[Special:Diff/2789727|"joke"]] because it uses one type of Wikipedia link over another. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 00:09, October 25, 2019 (EDT) | |||
Coding the links makes us look dignified and we must make sure we know what we're doing to make this site better than it was the day before. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 00:14, October 25, 2019 (EDT) | |||
== It's been a while. == | |||
Hey, Lord Falafel. It's been a while since i contributed here. I was wondering if you remember me. {{User:YoshiFan08/sig}} | |||
Of course I remember you. What happened to you, man? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 14:20, November 4, 2019 (EST) | |||
Well, i got a FANDOM account and seemed to forgot about this account. {{User:YoshiFan08/sig}} 17:40, November 4, 2019 (EST) | |||
Are you still gonna make edits here? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 17:57, November 5, 2019 (EST) | |||
Yes {{User:YoshiFan08/sig}} 18:46, November 7, 2019 (EST) | |||
== Donkey Konga edit == | |||
If something doesn't work, remove the edits. Do not simply leave broken coding on the page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:04, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||
I don't know how to do that. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 10:14, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||
:It's as simple as removing the stuff you added. There's not much to it. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 10:35, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||
Here's a better idea: how about they be compassionate of mobile users? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 10:49, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||
:Or just don't leave broken coding. It's okay if you fix it immediately after saving, but I believe you can still use "Show preview" to check your work on mobile (it's been a while since I used mobile, though). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:52, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||
Why? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 10:53, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||
:I don't understand that question. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:56, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||
Why has it been a while since you used mobile? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 11:01, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||

:I actually forget about it five minutes after pointing it out because I'm focused on more important things ^^; That reminds me, I could probably add the image of Mario and Luigi slippers I took at Wal-Mart the other day... {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:10, November 15, 2019 (EST) | |||

== RE: Songs on the list == | |||
That's different. Those songs from the animated shows are songs exclusively written for the show, not licensed songs. | |||
While I disagree with the reasoning behind the removal, simply saying "there are songs in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie" is extremely vague and should at least be followed with actually specifying the songs that appear. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:18, November 16, 2019 (EST) | |||

== RE: The Art of Super Mario Odyssey == | |||
Because hosting all 368 pages of an official copyrighted book is simply put a bad idea, and what do you mean "other publications"? The ones you're probably thinking of are different (like manuals), or only a few pages of their respective books. See {{tem|book-scan}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:17, November 19, 2019 (EST) | |||

== RE: Don't split == | |||
Read the proposal linked in the notice, there was consensus to split the articles. And when? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:32, November 21, 2019 (EST) | |||
NayruLink posted that comment this year in August. I think he has a point. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:34, November 21, 2019 (EST) | |||
:That's not how it works. One comment against doesn't prevent the split after a number of people have voted for through a proposal. If you don't think so, they or you can [[MarioWiki:Proposals|start a counterproposal]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:43, November 21, 2019 (EST) | |||

[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=The_Super_Mario_Bros._Super_Show!&curid=1021&diff=2811428&oldid=2811422 This] is not at all acceptable. Saying such things as "why is your grammar so bad" is a personal attack, and is even mentioned in the [[MarioWiki:Courtesy#Summary|courtesy policy]]. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 11:12, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
Which somehow lacks the level four offense of threatening someone's life. And swearing. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 11:15, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
I mean swearing in general. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 11:16, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
:Swearing is '''not''' inherently an offence. Per the page "''The occasional use of profanity is allowed as long as it is not directed at another user, but it should generally be avoided.''". And threatening another person's life is on an entirely different level than being rude, so I don't know why you're bringing that up. Your comment, while a personal attack, is minor. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 11:22, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
Then make swearing an offense unless it's part of a name of something. And if threatening is on another level, make it a level 5 offense. There are some messed up people on this planet. What if someone's life was threatened? Would the staff just let that be a pass? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 11:45, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
:If a person is life threatened then the person who did the threat will be instantly blocked, no questions asked. A level four offence warrants and instant block. If any other measures, such as informing the police, need to be taken, they will be taken without hesitation. And swearing does not need to be an offence. Swearing is not inherently used for offence. For example, a person may swear do to being frustrated at something unrelated to anyone. Swearing being used to offend is already not allowed, so banning it entirely is not nessecary at all. And being rude is not a level four offence. See [[MarioWiki:Warning policy]] for more information. Regardless, what does this have anything to do with what you did? Being discourteous usually is only a level two offence if it is done repeatedly, which applies to using swearing to offend. Obviously, there are examples of discourteous behaviour that is a level four offence, like said threatening or slurs. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 12:07, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
But only having the information here on my talk page that someone would be blocked if they threatened someone isn't enough. People need to know on the warning policy. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 12:21, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
:Not threatening people is both common sense and basic humanity. Like, threatening someone's life is illegal. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 12:23, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
Fine. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 12:26, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
Okay, so, "why is your grammar so bad" is not what I'd call a personal attack or threatening in any way. Unless I missed something, I'm not sure how this is even "threatening", and there's no profanity involved here???<br> | |||
It is a pretty rude thing to say, as pointed out in the Courtesy policy. The wiki is edited by people of all ages (usually 10-50 range, I assume) by people who just like editing a Mario database. It is also edited by people where English is not their first language, so grammar may not be completely correct. Instead of making fun of them, just help them out.<br> | |||
Additionally, your recent edits show blatant disregard towards admin edits and other users, making excuses for not fixing very simple things (something you were blocked for before), and you just generally don't seem to understand very simple concepts of how internet sites work (like not clicking the log in link on a different computer) and it is greatly effecting your communication skills to the point where we have to keep explaining it even after you seem to have already understood it. You've been helpful, but you also ''really'' need to take the time to figure out just how an internet site and the community works. Hope you keep this in mind next time. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:38, November 22, 2019 (EST) | |||
I never said my comment was threatening. I just meant if a mentally unstable person joined this wiki and threatened another editor's life, then they'd be doing something bad, but it wasn't in the community guidelines not to when I checked. Also, Wikipedia doesn't like it when editors swear, so why should we? I also think three months and one year are unnecessarily long block lengths. We shouldn't be so harsh. Maybe we could lighten all the block lengths. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 13:57, February 22, 2020 (EST) | |||

I recently made an edit on list of games and a bunch of replies to pie pivot monitor on the super Mario 64 slot machine were made by a hardcore slot machine specialist called -Crest- and I sourced a portion of one of his replies and put more information he gave in my summary.

Tell that to TheDarkStar, who has been deliberately removing valid information, like donkey kong-e and the play Nintendo games. He acts like I'm just some stupid amateur who uploads knockoffs 24/7. I joined this wiki to make it better, not to be sabotaged. Please don't block me. I just want to speak my mind. Why does he hate my guts? Why? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 00:18, February 24, 2020 (EST) | |||
:Okay, where the heck did ''that'' come from? He's not sabotaging you, he's not "deliberately" attacking you. The Play Nintendo games are something of a gray area, as they are really more of promotional material than full games, so there was nothing wrong with questioning them. Don't assume other users hate you just because they want more information than just a "Yes, they count" from only one person. Calling someone out over something simple will make it look like the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. You just got off of a block for similar issues. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:24, February 24, 2020 (EST) | |||
Why do you people have to be so strict and block us? I'm trying to help you get more accurate and noticed and you blocked me for 3 months. I get stuff I did was wrong, but you are all so harsh. No disrespect. I know you're not Wikipedia, but this site seems to be heavily inspired by it. I joined Wikipedia and the first and only time I got blocked, it was for 1 day. Why can't you be like that? I hope no one enjoyed my absence. Again, not trying to be a jerk, but why can't you be reasonable? I just want this site to succeed. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 00:33, February 24, 2020 (EST) | |||
:You are on thin ice. We don't block people for fun, we do it because they need to take time away and learn to control their issues. In your case, you needed to work more on your social skills, which you clearly have not. You will not learn to be a better person after just one day. We are reasonable, but we also act accordingly. Don't blame the admins for your problems. | |||

== Edit Flooding == | |||
I see that you're using a mobile app, but you're still flooding the edit history and recent changes. Do you have a computer? Editing on the MarioWiki by computer allows you to edit a big article all at once instead of editing it by section-by-section, and it also allows you to preview your edits and mark your edits as minor. Just giving you a heads up. :) [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 16:57, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
And somehow it's an offense to edit your own page in one edit. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 17:05, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
:It's not. Whether you're talking about main pages, talk pages, or other types of user pages, editing a page you created in one large edit is allowed. You may be mistaken with the rule that you can't make a large amount of different userspace edits in one go. Either way, be more careful when making claims about rules. Anyways, to build on what MariOfan100 said, as you already know, but may find use of being reminded of, is that by going to the "desktop" button on the bottom of the page, you can do stuff that you can do on a computer like the mentioned marking your edits as minor. You can return by going to the "mobile view" button on the bottom of the page. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:58, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
I thought I read somewhere that users had to edit their own user pages many times and not one time, which I thought I read was an offense. But whatever. I guess I'm crazy. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 19:50, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
:If you focus more on your userspace than the actual articles, then that's a problem. Editing a page in one go rather than several small edits is preferred. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:34, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
Gotcha. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:45, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
The problems with being a respectful editor are that I don't like the desktop version of this site, I can never work a laptop right and it's easier for me to make a bunch of edits because if I need to shorten a Wikipedia page or more, it's easier to find all of them or that one in a section if I look all over that section. If I turn on desktop mode, I'll have to look all over the page's code for Wikipedia links and that will take so much time, energy, work and effort out of me and I'd have to spend hours and hours on end doing it to a few pages each. But also, my tablet has pop ups no matter where I am and if I lose all that work while still editing, I'll lose every ounce of my sanity. So it's easier this way for me, but I don't want to be a bad editor or a nuisance. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 22:14, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
:"I'll have to look all over the page's code for Wikipedia links and that will take so much time" | |||
:There's a helpful little tool called "Search and replace" that shows up when you click the "Advanced" tab on the desktop editing window (it's the magnifying glass icon on the top-right). You can search for all the <nowiki>"[[wikipedia:" and turn it into "{{wp|"</nowiki>. You will have to go through and find the ends of all those links and replace the proper brackets, but it should only take you five minutes at most. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:22, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
Well, since I completed work on so many pages, I probably won't have to worry about that. But thank you for the helpful information. On another matter, why do we italicize N/A? That's not a game title. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 22:42, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
::Assuming you mean N/A as not applicable (or sometimes called non applicable), it's generally because it's a clearer emphasis that something is empty without leaving it blank. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 22:45, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
I understand what N/A means, but we don't need to have it look crooked if it's not a game, movie, tv show, publication or board game title. I think we should make it look like N/A, rather than ''N/A'' because, yeah. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 22:50, February 26, 2020 (EST) | |||
Use the preview function before actually publishing your edits. After you hit "Next", if there's something that needs fixing, press the back arrow button instead of "Save". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:59, March 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
Ok. Thanks for the tip. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:00, March 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
I can't preview the video before saving. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:02, March 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
:But you can preview the article before saving. That's when you can see the links, and if a link goes to an error, then you go back and fix it. And you've already been taught how to copy/paste links ''multiple'' times; it would save from all of this if you would just do that. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:07, March 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
Desktop mode looks too weird to me. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:09, March 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
:This has nothing to do with desktop mode, this is all doable in mobile. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:11, March 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
I'm a trash editor. I'm sorry I'm wasting your time. Someone with 10 times more intelligence than me should be editing this wiki. Not me. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:14, March 1, 2020 (EST) | |||
:You don't need a high level of intelligence to understand this. The problem is that you just give up at the slightest sight of difficulty, and it gives off the impression that you didn't even ''try''. Doesn't matter if you do it wrong the first time as long as you at least give it a shot, but self-pity isn't going to get you anywhere. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:28, March 2, 2020 (EST) | |||
