I don't care. Paragoomba is a variant of goomba, therefore, all variants of paragoomba are also types of goomba. For example, a falcon is a type of bird, but that doesn't mean that a peregrine falcon, a type of falcon, isn't a type of bird.

Hi, would you mind voting in [[Talk:Plant Food#Split Ramp It Up from this article|these two]] [[Talk:Star Fox (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)#Split the WarioWare Gold version of Star Fox|proposals]]? No that I'm trying to canvass or anything, I just need one more vote to reach the necessary quorum. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 18:20, August 9, 2020 (EDT)

:I must admit that it's something that didn't cross my mind back when I put these descriptions in for everything, and that I changed it for the Canned-food part-tay trio to be consistent with the rest, but now that you mention it I guess we could do so. I just don't remember if the numbers are also shown when viewing the collectible treasures in the museum (I copied them straight from my copy of the game). {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

== RE: Forum talk ==
 
Basically any comment that can be interpreted as intent to improve the article/wiki should be assumed as such and shouldn't be outright removed. And looking at the user's past talk posts, that was very likely their intent. Comments like "What's your favourite character" clearly don't have this intent, so they should be removed. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:17, August 28, 2020 (EDT)
 
== Paper Mario: Color Splash "Card description" ==
 
I don't need to discuss them, without wanting to violate the rules, the descriptions which are noted on the museums, they note them on the characters and enemies concerned, as we have always done. And the description of the cards of '' Paper Mario: Color Splash '' are not listed on their profiles. So, however, there is no harm. {{User:TheRaoul1992/sig}}
 
==Thanks==
 
Thanks for correcting some stuff on the Dress-Up Photo Studio Page, I was almost completely sure I never used "you" on the page, but I guess something must have slipped by.

== RE: Kaden Pervaiz's talk page ==
Thank you! I didn't know about the function. - [[User:Luigi 1837]]


I've seen other users do similar things on their talk pages before. As far as I know there's nothing that doesn't allow it, but I'll bring it up with the rest of the admins and find out for sure. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 21:42, December 2, 2020 (EST)
Hello, can you please help me? I'm trying to make the [[Minecraft]] Blocks and Items list into a gallery with all of the images, but I'm having trouble making it. How can I do it? - [[User:Luigi 1837]]


==Problematic IP==
Thank you for the info! I'll firstly finish uploading all of the images I have and then I'll go though them and add the licensing and other info. Another thing, should I get images for the characters too? - [[User:Luigi 1837]] P.S.- By any chance do you know how to change the background color of user pages, because I've been wanting to change my user pages background color, but don't know how to.
If there's an IP that is not listening to you, before you report them, you should at least attempt to communicate to them in their talk page. If they ignore it, then it's fine to report for admin action against them. I accidentally rollbacked your report instead of undoing it, so I'm unable to provide the edit summary commentary. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 17:40, December 5, 2020 (EST)
:I believe there are images for the characters in Minecraft already, and as for your userpage color I'm not sure how to do that either. You should probably ask someone who has done that with their userpage. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 12:27, March 15, 2023 (EDT)


== RE: Japanese quizzes ==
That's good, because it would be a painful process of going through them and adding the licensing and categories, I'll ask about the coloring to someone else. I'm not sure if the character images are uploaded, because they've been asked for in the spotlight. Thanks for the help! -[[User:Luigi 1837]] P.S. Is there by any chance a way to upload multiple images at once or is it only possible by doing one at a time?


Is it okay if I separate them into a new section? If it's still bad then I'll just create a new list page to put them all. [[User:EC2-Towards|EC2-Towards]] ([[User talk:EC2-Towards|talk]]) 10:25, December 19, 2020 (EST)
Sorry, if I have broken a rule or something! I didn't realize I had broken a rule. I thought it would be easier to just upload the images first and then go through and add the categories. I'm still new to the wiki, so I'm really sorry for breaking a rule! I'm going to ask you now about the descriptions, do I have to fill them in also or can I just fill in the licensing and categories? I don't want to break another rule. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]
:The currently found questions and answers should be still put somewhere for now. If that's the case, I'll go for the new list page first at this point, until further discussion on the article talk page. [[User:EC2-Towards|EC2-Towards]] ([[User talk:EC2-Towards|talk]]) 10:38, December 19, 2020 (EST)
:The descriptions should be filled in too (wasn't sure if there was a reminder template relating to that as well), and any parameters that you won't use can be removed. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:39, March 15, 2023 (EDT)


== Multitude of links ==
And does the artist section have to be filled too or not, because I don't know who to wright in it. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]
:If it's an in-game screenshot, then the parameter can be removed. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:46, March 15, 2023 (EDT)


In regards to your comment [[Talk:Luigi Dunk|here]] ([[Talk:Dunk Hammer|permalink]]), those might be links from one or more navtemplates transcluded onto said articles, so I'm afraid there isn't really a usable filter for the links. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 18:56, January 10, 2021 (EST)
:Sorry, can you please explain what did you mean with removing the parameter, and does it have to be removed? And sorry, but I still didn't understand what I need to wright in the parameter. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]
:Yeah, I suspected that was because of the templates. I even tried changing the link there first before I moved the page, which didn't work. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
: Can you please check if I've done the info and things on the images correctly, when you've got time, Thanks! I'll be uploading the last images tomorrow, then making the gallery. I'm really sorry again for breaking a rule by mistake! -[[User:Luigi 1837]]

== Shiny Crown in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'' ==
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'll make the changes tomorrow. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]


The Australian website lists the crown in ''Super Mario 3D World'' as being named the Shiny Crown, so I believe they should be in the same article. There's also another crown in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' that might be a Shiny Crown as well, but that one has no source.

[[MarioWiki:Featured_articles/N/Dr. Crygor|It]] has already passed the 19:28 schedule, when the article would get feech'd. Can you please incorportate the fa status into the affected article? Thank you {{User:PnnyCrygr/sig}} 19:37, March 30, 2023 (EDT)
:You can put the featured template on the article the moment the nomination is over and passed. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 20:08, March 30, 2023 (EDT)


Whenever you get to them (eventually), would you also mind checking all of the other overworld move names in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey''{{'}}s digital manual as well? I know you already did it for [[Sliding Haymaker]], but [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]] (probably has the exact same name), [[Drill Bros.]], [[Body slam (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|body slam]], and [[Spike ball (move)|spike ball]] still need verification.

== RE: RE: Need help with anything? ==
== Question ==


Well, if I get the TOK, I can certainly make that happen, also should the page for collectable tresures be also made, even though Musée Champignon has 3/4 of information? I mean the page would be THE exact location and image, like other collectible pages. Because other than the stuff you mentioned, I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what to help with. [[User:Mid188|Mid188]] ([[User talk:Mid188|talk]]) 14:02, February 27, 2021 (EST)
Hey, I was just going to ignore this and I already message Waluigi Time about it, but this [[User:Marino13|user]] is making backhanded comments about me and I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation. It started when they deleted a message off my talk page that I simply reverted as I want to respect that messages should not be removed from talk pages. I haven't been on much because of other commitments so I simply said on my user page I wasn't editing much. Now every time I made small edits such as in the gallery for [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]] , [[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User:Marino13&curid=200372&diff=3911137&oldid=3885397]]they [[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Gallery:Mario_%2B_Rabbids_Sparks_of_Hope&diff=prev&oldid=3911130]]are [[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=John_Leguizamo&diff=prev&oldid=3910000]]using edit summaries to call me out on this, when I feel I have not done anything pernsonal to them except ask politely to not remove messages from my talk page. Thanks for your time.


I mean when you think about it, Musée Champignon has only the region of where the treasure is (Whispering Woods for example) but not the exact locations (for example, Whispering Woods: In the area with the revitalizing spring, Mushroom treasure is found at the end of the area, in the corner.). And if you need to do something specific to reach the treasure, this page would have it covered. That's why I think it would be preferable to create the page, mainly for take sake of consistency, since Hidden Toads, Not-Bottomless Holes and Hidden Blocks all have/will have their own pages and it doesn't feel right to leave out the Collectible Treasures.

==Re:Move templates==
I'm sorry, but some of these are either policy-driven or self-evident, and thus don't require much of any discussion to begin with, just routine second-guessing the information present in the articles. All it does is slow down or obfuscate sensible moves that would have been made a while ago by editors more familiar with those subjects. What happens if discussion stalls anyway? We just leave certain outstanding changes to obscurity? I don't really get it since the meta category templates were hidden for a reason, I presume. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:18, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:The proposal didn't account for any exceptions, so either there's a discussion somewhere or the template doesn't go on the page, simple as that. The template gets removed if said discussion is deemed inactive. If anyone more familiar with these subjects comes across these and wants to move them, then it would be up to them to bring it up in the talk page and put the template on the article. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:34, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::I need a little more clarification. Are you saying it's necessary for every article that dropped those templates to have their discussions (re)opened? That's not what I'm seeing in the proposal.

It's at the very start of the game. If Luigi tries to go through the door in the attic without investigating for the Scaredy Rat, Toad tells him not to leave yet. Eventually, Luigi gets either a heavy object (I think either a basin or a weight) dropped on him, making him dizzy. It's played comedically and in a similar fashion to the ''PM'' games. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 13:37, April 12, 2021 (EDT)

== RE: DK Country animal friend page moves ==
Either it was LOOONG time ago (back when I took it more lightly), or I have no idea what you're talking about. The most recent mistake is maybe the [[Sluggy]], which I just recalled badly was named "Peluria", but then I rechecked the game footage of SMA3 and Kamek was like "Let's see how you deal with this "Sguscio"." which I then fixed. Any examples of this, for references? {{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 08:46, August 26, 2023 (EDT)


The page can't move to a redirect's name if the redirect has been edited, so you'd need to mark it for deletion. You can do that now or let me know when you're ready to move and I'll delete it then. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:06, April 14, 2021 (EDT)
:I made some tiny digging: no, the few times I added Italian names for the enemies that appeared in SMW2YI, I did use the names from other games (YIDS, YNI, YWW and YCW) nothing invented. Might have been two tiny cases in the past (something like "well, we have [[Skeleton Goonie|Skeletro Gabby]] and [[Flightless Goonie|Gabby senz'ali]] so of course the "[[Flightless Skeleton Goonie]]" must be "Skeletro Gabby senz'ali" even tho it isn't written anywhere else."

Parry would be "Parry (character)" per [[MarioWiki:Naming]]. Basically mirror how they were prioritised before. Since "Ellie" already redirected to the elephant before this (due to it being more popular), it can just take the "Ellie" name. Since "Parry" is already a disambiguation (since both are about equally likely searched), the bird uses an identifier like [[Parry (move)]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:25, April 15, 2021 (EDT)

== Re: Origami King enemy statistics ==
Hey there, I saw Yoshi and Blue Toad's infobox images updated with renders that hold a Red Shell. Is the policy correct in that the images should be just the character if possible? I know Nabbit's was updated for Wonder though he is holding a mushroom, I don't want to engage with reverting Yoshi's and Blue Toad's pages anymore to not cause an edit war, and thought bringing it up could help resolve this, thanks!

:I don't mind using the images of them holding the red shells for the same reason Doc von Schmeltwick said about Nabbit with the mushroom, that the red shell is an iconic item throughout the Mario franchise and doesn't really specialise the game in any way. The rule about items only really applies if said item is specifically for the game or series such as sports gear or the ''Mario + Rabbids'' weapons. Luigi's SMBW artwork however I think is a hard no since that shows him using the Parachute Cap ability which is exclusive to the game, and Luigi's hat is never that big. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 05:26, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

== Shy Guy’s Toy Box Redirect Problems ==
We saw that proposal passed, and in the archive, it's marked as done; however, we did notice a few pages are currently present in the categories that we did mention in our tremendous breakdown. So um, here we be, to ask if it's fine if we cull the following:
* Every instance of a shapeshifter should be moved to the shapeshifter category if they aren't there already. (e.g. [[Shadoo]], [[Belome]], or Ditto)
* Every instance of a clone that can look(a)like anybody, not just one character, should be moved to clones (e.g. [[Bubble Clone]] or [[Imposter]])
* Fighting Polygons
* [[Gold Mini Mario]] from Mario
* Luigi should be removed from Mario's category.
* Wario should be removed from Mario's category.
* Waluigi should be removed from Luigi's category.
* [[Bowser Suit]] from Bowser
* [[King Boo]] from Bowser
* [[Koopa Zombie]] from Bowser
* [[Wooden cutout]] from Bowser and Peach
* [[Princess Shroob]] from Peach
* [[Funky Kong]] from DK
* [[Super Kong]] from DK
* [[Swanky Kong]] from DK
* ...and we might literally give [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]] his own proposal sometime in the near future, because as we've mentioned, he drives us insane to think about.
Is it alright with you if we remove these from the lookalikes categories? {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 12:41, December 28, 2023 (EST)

Hi Keyblade Master, I saw my first nomination page for Shy Guy’s Toy Box had redirect problems, but what did it redirect to?
:Can someone direct me to the breakdown where all of this is explained? I think it would be good if the category pages themselves made it clear what exactly qualifies as a "lookalike". I don't really see the issue with a clone also being considered a lookalike, or with characters like Luigi, [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], or the [[Koopa Zombie]]s being included, as the categories are quite small and don't seem likely to become overly cluttered to me. Also, to what extent can inanimate objects be considered lookalikes? [[:Category:Bowser lookalikes]] contains several statues, including ones that don't move at all, so should the [[Papercraft]] versions of characters from [[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|Paper Jam]] count as well?
Thanks,

== Regarding the inappropriate edit from the anon ==
:Category:Bowser lookalikes also includes [[False Bowser]] from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], so should the other Shadow Bug versions of characters from that game (Mario, Luigi, and Peach) also count?


In regards to the edit which I flagged as potentially offensive, to be honest, at first I was also unaware that this was inappropriate, but due to a lack of knowledge on ''Splatoon'', I thought that I'd better check that the wrong-sounding name was truely illegitimate and found that it was a derogatory term, albeit in Dutch.

::The proposal called for shapeshifters to be exempt and also to exclude Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. I'm not familiar with Super Smash Bros.

== Article length ==
:::Okay, thanks, I think that proposal cleared some stuff up for me. I went ahead and added the Papercrafts, as well as False Peach from Brawl. Both her and False Bowser appear in cutscenes and play a role in the story of Subspace Emissary to some extent. The rest of the False Characters (including False Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong) are fought near the end of the game, are only seen in gameplay, and look different from the False Characters that appear in earlier cutscenes. These False Characters are instances of clones that can look like (almost) anybody in the game, so I didn't add them to Mario's, [[:Category:Luigi lookalikes|Luigi's]], or [[:Category:Donkey Kong lookalikes|Donkey Kong's]] lookalike categories.


The only reason I particularly brought up length is due to it being the reason [[Baby Donkey Kong]] went unfeatured. [[MarioWiki:Featured_articles/Unfeature/N1/Baby_Donkey_Kong|Here's this for example.]]{{unsigned|Wikiboy10}}
:::Although Shadoo's clones can be considered an instance of "clones that can look like anybody", I'm not sure they should be removed from the lookalike categories. There's only four playable characters in the game, and the [[Cosmic Clone]]s as well as [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Mario/Luigi]] are both considered to be lookalikes, despite copying both playable characters.


== grammar related trivia in MP4 ==
:::[[Bowser Jr.]] resembles [[Baby Bowser]] more than [[Koopa Kid]] does, so I think he should remain in Category:Bowser lookalikes.


Hello
:::I'm considering editing the category pages to specify that "lookalikes" have to be intentionally and heavily designed after the characters which they resemble, and should include "doppelgangers" and "copies" of characters. Does that sound right to you?
Have you ever heard of a child that has the best grammar ever? No? That is why Koopa Kid has bad grammar, because he is a child.
So it is not speculation, it is a fact that he is a child (hence the kid part of his name), and children almost always have poor grammar.

== My apologies ==
There's been a lot of impetus to clean up categories lately, hasn't there? One I think could use a look at is [[:Category:Thieves]]. Right now, it's not in the greatest state. It's an odd mix of occupational thieves and villians who steal as part of their greater evil plans. Not to mention we have all seven Koopalings ''and'' the general [[Koopalings]] page in there — why not just include [[:Category:Koopalings]] as a subcategory? There was [[Category talk:Thieves|brief talk of cleanup from late 2017 through early 2018]], though no action was made on it. I agree with Doc von Schmeltwick's suggestion of trimming the definition to just chronic and/or occupational thieves, though.

== Smart Steering ==
== Elemental category stuff ==
Hi, I wanted to ask you something. There is a function in Mario Kart Tour known as Smart Steering. On one of the courses, I kept getting pulled to the wall, so I turned off the function. But then, I gained the ability to drive off-road. I tested the function on courses with shortcuts, and it allowed me to access shortcuts without Mushrooms. Should this be mentioned? {{User:WildWario/sig}} 08:03, September 2, 2021 (EDT)
:I haven't played Mario Kart Tour, nor do I know much about it, so I'm not really sure how to put it. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 08:08, September 2, 2021 (EDT)

== I'm sorry ==
Hey, I noticed you implementing that SMRPG category proposal, and that makes sense, but I feel like some of these removals feel a bit overcorrect-ish. I mean, the original elemental category proposal had an exception for stuff like Bowser being associated with fire due to his fire breath, but then you have [[Muckle]], which only attacks with ice, is resistant to ice, and drops an ice-related item, and it was removed from [[:Category:Ice creatures]]. Same with [[Bahamutt]] being removed from [[:Category:Fire creatures]]. I'm not sure how to end this comment, sorry, I guess, would it be okay to re-add those? [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 14:28, January 15, 2024 (EST)
:I didn't want to have anything that could be arbitrary about this (e.g if enemies had resistances or used a lot of those types of attacks), so I'd still rather have the categories ommited from those for the sake of caution. I left fire creatures on Czar Dragon since it is made of Lava Babbles. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:53, January 15, 2024 (EST)


Hi, sorry about using my account and IP to tell myself off. You see, I was just bored and had nothing to do, so I decided to do what I did. We all make mistakes sometimes, I won't do this again. It was not funny, but it doesn't really matter that much now. Hope you're happy with this apology.

Another thing, should I get images for the characters too? - User:Luigi 1837 P.S.- By any chance do you know how to change the background color of user pages, because I've been wanting to change my user pages background color, but don't know how to.

I believe there are images for the characters in Minecraft already, and as for your userpage color I'm not sure how to do that either. You should probably ask someone who has done that with their userpage. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 12:27, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

That's good, because it would be a painful process of going through them and adding the licensing and categories, I'll ask about the coloring to someone else. I'm not sure if the character images are uploaded, because they've been asked for in the spotlight. Thanks for the help! -User:Luigi 1837 P.S. Is there by any chance a way to upload multiple images at once or is it only possible by doing one at a time?

Sorry, if I have broken a rule or something! I didn't realize I had broken a rule. I thought it would be easier to just upload the images first and then go through and add the categories. I'm still new to the wiki, so I'm really sorry for breaking a rule! I'm going to ask you now about the descriptions, do I have to fill them in also or can I just fill in the licensing and categories? I don't want to break another rule. -User:Luigi 1837

The descriptions should be filled in too (wasn't sure if there was a reminder template relating to that as well), and any parameters that you won't use can be removed. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:39, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

And does the artist section have to be filled too or not, because I don't know who to wright in it. -User:Luigi 1837

If it's an in-game screenshot, then the parameter can be removed. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:46, March 15, 2023 (EDT)
Sorry, can you please explain what did you mean with removing the parameter, and does it have to be removed? And sorry, but I still didn't understand what I need to wright in the parameter. -User:Luigi 1837
Can you please check if I've done the info and things on the images correctly, when you've got time, Thanks! I'll be uploading the last images tomorrow, then making the gallery. I'm really sorry again for breaking a rule by mistake! -User:Luigi 1837
The three edits I did on the images just now show what I mean. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 16:30, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'll make the changes tomorrow. -User:Luigi 1837

It had to be said[edit]

Your own username makes this block infinitely funnier than what would have otherwise been bland immaturity. Along with the word "block" being there. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:40, April 4, 2023 (EDT)

Honestly I'm not sure whether to feel embarressed or amused by this, especially since the reason behind my username is actually explained on my userpage. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 11:48, April 4, 2023 (EDT)

Props![edit]

Props for the promotion, you definitely earned it through your hard work on this wiki!—Mister Wu (talk) 07:21, April 6, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you for the kind words. I'll be honest, there's something that happened outside the wiki which I'd rather not talk about here, and I'm not in a very good way right now. Really wish things were better, just might take it easy for a little while. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 07:27, April 7, 2023 (EDT)

Question 4 Ya[edit]

What happened to Mario Wiki on April 1? Was it vandalized? ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345

Updating MarioWiki:References[edit]

Due to two proposals which passed last year, one of which was by you, MarioWiki:References needs to be updated. I left the suggestions in its talk page.--Platform (talk) 12:00, April 21, 2023 (EDT)


Question[edit]

Hey, I was just going to ignore this and I already message Waluigi Time about it, but this user is making backhanded comments about me and I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation. It started when they deleted a message off my talk page that I simply reverted as I want to respect that messages should not be removed from talk pages. I haven't been on much because of other commitments so I simply said on my user page I wasn't editing much. Now every time I made small edits such as in the gallery for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope , [[1]]they [[2]]are [[3]]using edit summaries to call me out on this, when I feel I have not done anything pernsonal to them except ask politely to not remove messages from my talk page. Thanks for your time.

Sdman213 (talk) 11:46, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

That kind of behaviour definitely isn't acceptable, staff is currently deciding how to handle it. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 12:10, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Merge templates[edit]

As i'm not as active as i once was, nor do i check up on pages that regularly, i couldn't know about that proposal. Thanks for letting me know. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 04:13, July 3, 2023 (EDT)

Does it also apply to removing something from a page, like the Piranha Plant king? --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 03:28, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Re:Move templates[edit]

I'm sorry, but some of these are either policy-driven or self-evident, and thus don't require much of any discussion to begin with, just routine second-guessing the information present in the articles. All it does is slow down or obfuscate sensible moves that would have been made a while ago by editors more familiar with those subjects. What happens if discussion stalls anyway? We just leave certain outstanding changes to obscurity? I don't really get it since the meta category templates were hidden for a reason, I presume. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:18, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

The proposal didn't account for any exceptions, so either there's a discussion somewhere or the template doesn't go on the page, simple as that. The template gets removed if said discussion is deemed inactive. If anyone more familiar with these subjects comes across these and wants to move them, then it would be up to them to bring it up in the talk page and put the template on the article. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:34, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
I need a little more clarification. Are you saying it's necessary for every article that dropped those templates to have their discussions (re)opened? That's not what I'm seeing in the proposal. It's just about the use of the templates. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:47, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
Yes it is. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:54, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
I'm going to ask the proposer about it, then, because I simply do not see that explanation in the proposal. If that was within the scope of the proposal and I was aware of it, I would have been vehemently against it, for the reasons I've outlined. I think it's just an extra hurdle for everyone with little gain. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:07, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
Actually, it probably wouldn't if you would just go ahead and move the page, but the template still shouldn't stay there without any action being taken. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:28, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

A question about sandbox pages[edit]

In my sandbox page, is there a way to remove the redirect to my userpage (e.g. < User:Pizza Master) or otherwise make it invisible?--Poisoned Geno SMRPG sprite.png Pizza Master Waluigi 17:26, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

I don't think there is, every user subpage I've looked at has it. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 18:39, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

Re:Super Mario World 2 Italian names[edit]

Either it was LOOONG time ago (back when I took it more lightly), or I have no idea what you're talking about. The most recent mistake is maybe the Sluggy, which I just recalled badly was named "Peluria", but then I rechecked the game footage of SMA3 and Kamek was like "Let's see how you deal with this "Sguscio"." which I then fixed. Any examples of this, for references? My avatar's face to use in the signature Mariuigi Khed 08:46, August 26, 2023 (EDT)

I made some tiny digging: no, the few times I added Italian names for the enemies that appeared in SMW2YI, I did use the names from other games (YIDS, YNI, YWW and YCW) nothing invented. Might have been two tiny cases in the past (something like "well, we have Skeletro Gabby and Gabby senz'ali so of course the "Flightless Skeleton Goonie" must be "Skeletro Gabby senz'ali" even tho it isn't written anywhere else." [I tended to mix Wiki's and Wikia's less strict rules]), but those have been rolledback due to lack of official references. Nothing more to it.

The Southern Portion of Toad Town Being Accessible After Bowser's Defeat[edit]

Paper Macho Soldiers[edit]

Are Paper Macho Soldiers a species? RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 06:00, September 30, 2023 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure a while back I removed "Paper Macho" from being a species in infoboxes, would be preferable to just list their species as what enemy they're based off. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 06:41, September 30, 2023 (EDT)
How so? RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 10:11, September 30, 2023 (EDT)
"Paper Macho" isn't a species either, it's more of an enemy class in the game like how Folded Soldiers are what you fight in battles and Paper Macho enemies you fight in the field. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 10:59, September 30, 2023 (EDT)

Edit question[edit]

Hello Swallow. Why did you revert my recent edits? Not angry, just curious. RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 14:57, October 22, 2023 (EDT)

I did leave an edit summary in the first one, that we should avoid overusing the category just because the place has lava in it. I don't really agree with what the category page itself says either, I'd rather it was used for actual volcano areas. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 15:01, October 22, 2023 (EDT)
Fair enough, would advise you provide an explanation such as "Explained in my edit summary on X's page" to avoid any confusion. What should the category say? RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 15:10, October 22, 2023 (EDT)
I'm thinking of having it as "Volcanoes throughout the Super Mario franchise". As this would change the scope of the category, it may require a proposal first. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 15:16, October 22, 2023 (EDT)

Renders[edit]

Hey there, I saw Yoshi and Blue Toad's infobox images updated with renders that hold a Red Shell. Is the policy correct in that the images should be just the character if possible? I know Nabbit's was updated for Wonder though he is holding a mushroom, I don't want to engage with reverting Yoshi's and Blue Toad's pages anymore to not cause an edit war, and thought bringing it up could help resolve this, thanks!

Sdman213 (talk) 21:37, October 23, 2023 (EDT)

I don't mind using the images of them holding the red shells for the same reason Doc von Schmeltwick said about Nabbit with the mushroom, that the red shell is an iconic item throughout the Mario franchise and doesn't really specialise the game in any way. The rule about items only really applies if said item is specifically for the game or series such as sports gear or the Mario + Rabbids weapons. Luigi's SMBW artwork however I think is a hard no since that shows him using the Parachute Cap ability which is exclusive to the game, and Luigi's hat is never that big.

I think it's time for it to be unbanned. It has been way too long. 107.146.224.187 00:30, October 27, 2023 And my MarioBoards account needs to be unbanned. I also need to put loads of stuff and edit pages. 2099 is way far too long. It's also laughable that I got banned until that date, since that is waaaaaay too long. It's also time that I get unblocked, since I regret doing the stuff that got me banned. (EDT)

WarioWare Renders[edit]

Hey, quick question, some renders for the WarioWare characters (specifically Jimmy T, 18-Volt, Dribble & Spitz, and 13-Amp, had new renders for Move It! but got reverted. Do you think the renders are fine or should the renders from Get it Together stay there for now? I think the Move It renders are fine but would rather not edit war about them. Thanks! I also let Ray Trace know but thought it wouldn't hurt to spread the question around.

Sdman213 (talk) 10:21, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

I've never played any of the WarioWare games so I'm not too sure how to go about this one. I don't even know if these characters do have a consistant design. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 10:37, November 3, 2023 (EDT)
I just remember Dr. Crygor having a different design every game and Mona wearing a different outfit every game, and their infoboxes were updated consistently per game. I don't see a reason not to use the new Move It renders with that knowledge. I thinks its an IP account that reverted but I'm not sure if a discussion should be made first. I do know that Jimmy T's render was used on the new website Nintendo of Japan made for the WarioWare series in general.

Sdman213 (talk) 10:42, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

Question[edit]

Hey there, [user] used rude an unnecessarily rude tone in the edit summary, I'm not trying to cause any trouble, I simply removed the information because there is not a direct confirmation that a character that looks like Mr. Sparkles in WarioWare reappears in Move It.

Sdman213 (talk) 18:56, November 7, 2023 (EST)

Sorry to say this, but I'd rather not get involved in a dispute concerning a game or series I barely know anything about (there's a list of games/series in my userpage I do concern myself with).

Enemy Profile[edit]

Hello Swallow. Thank you for your tip about Italic text. I have a question. When I look at the enemies and bosses that appear in Mario RPG titles, there are enemy profiles that contain information like HP, Defense, Weaknesses etc. I was wondering, how do you make one of those? --Darksouless1 (talk) 11:01, November 20, 2023 (EST)

I'm no expert on the subject, but several Super Mario RPG enemy articles already do have a stat table for the remake which is taken directly from the game's monster list. You could just copy and paste the code from those tables and change what's in the table itself to fit the article you're putting it into. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 11:23, November 20, 2023 (EST)

RE: RE: RPG lists question.[edit]

Ok, I can change the names right now, but the images will have to wait until I get around to play the remake. It will take time to get to it since I just completed Chapter 1 of PM64. --Mid188 (talk) 12:59, November 26, 2023 (EST)

That's fine, though I should mention that all Hidden Treasures are also exactly the same for both locations and items in the remake so that should also be one page for both versions. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:58, November 26, 2023 (EST)

Ok, I will do Hidden too, when I get there. And regarding the Mushroom Ball remake images - Yeah, I can do that too.--Mid188 (talk) 14:06, November 26, 2023 (EST)

Hi, writing here to answer your message: I do not mind if you want to split the pages. Ask the staff if they allow it and do it if you want, I have more lists to do (Paper Jam one right now), so I do not have time. --Mid188 (talk) 00:56, April 7, 2024 (EDT)

EDIT: Sorry, I have not realized you were staff yourself, so disregard the asking part of the message. --Mid188 (talk) 01:03, April 7, 2024 (EDT)

So, I think I can do the splitting of the Dream Team Blocks page now, just one thing before I start: How do we name the two new pages? List of block in real/dream world in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team or something else? Afterwards, I can start work on the remakes. --Mid188 (talk) 16:47, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

Best I can think of is "List of real/dream world blocks in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team". Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 16:57, May 12, 2024 (EDT)
Ok, then. I'll get to work. --Mid188 (talk) 16:58, May 12, 2024 (EDT)
Something like this? (check my sandbox) --Mid188 (talk) 18:03, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

On the lookalikes proposal[edit]

We saw that proposal passed, and in the archive, it's marked as done; however, we did notice a few pages are currently present in the categories that we did mention in our tremendous breakdown. So um, here we be, to ask if it's fine if we cull the following:

  • Every instance of a shapeshifter should be moved to the shapeshifter category if they aren't there already. (e.g. Shadoo, Belome, or Ditto)
  • Every instance of a clone that can look(a)like anybody, not just one character, should be moved to clones (e.g. Bubble Clone or Imposter)
  • Fighting Polygons
  • Gold Mini Mario from Mario
  • Luigi should be removed from Mario's category.
  • Wario should be removed from Mario's category.
  • Waluigi should be removed from Luigi's category.
  • Bowser Suit from Bowser
  • King Boo from Bowser
  • Koopa Zombie from Bowser
  • Wooden cutout from Bowser and Peach
  • Princess Shroob from Peach
  • Funky Kong from DK
  • Super Kong from DK
  • Swanky Kong from DK
  • ...and we might literally give Eddie the Mean Old Yeti his own proposal sometime in the near future, because as we've mentioned, he drives us insane to think about.

Is it alright with you if we remove these from the lookalikes categories? ~Camwoodstock (talk) 12:41, December 28, 2023 (EST)

I think all of those should be ommited from the lookalikes categories (just pointing out Belome is not a shapeshifter but creates clones of the playable characters to fight alongside him). Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 12:50, December 28, 2023 (EST)
Oh, our bad! Admittedly, we're not too familiar with Belome's fight, so those just kinda melded in our brain with the 2,763 other redirects for bosses that are proper shapeshifters (cough cough Shadoo). we also blame the between christmas-and-new years brainfog. While we're here though, we should also probably ask about Cursed Mini Mario, seeing as we forgot to bring him up initially and figure he's probably safe to remove if Gold Mini Mario also got the boot; after all, what makes him "Cursed" is the monkey robot, which um. Is not resembling Mario by any means. ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 14:12, December 28, 2023 (EST)
I removed Cursed Mini Mario from the category for you. You can thank me later. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:49, December 31, 2023 (EST)
That one was from a game I know nothing about. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:12, December 31, 2023 (EST)
Heads up: Administrator Mario added Luigi back to Category:Mario lookalikes with the reason that "[he] probably qualifies". Though I haven't mentioned it before, I agree with Camwoodstock that Luigi should be left out of that category. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 00:05, January 3, 2024 (EST)
Hi, I unknowingly added a few of these back to their categories, not realizing there was a proposal about this. Sorry about that. The discussion pages for the various lookalike categories were mostly empty and I only realized I had rolled back on previous users' edits when two of mine were tagged as manual reverts. I'm not very familiar with how proposals are done here so it took me a while to find this page. I'm also completely new to using talk pages, so you'll have to bear with me here.
Can someone direct me to the breakdown where all of this is explained? I think it would be good if the category pages themselves made it clear what exactly qualifies as a "lookalike". I don't really see the issue with a clone also being considered a lookalike, or with characters like Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, or the Koopa Zombies being included, as the categories are quite small and don't seem likely to become overly cluttered to me. Also, to what extent can inanimate objects be considered lookalikes? Category:Bowser lookalikes contains several statues, including ones that don't move at all, so should the Papercraft versions of characters from Paper Jam count as well?
Category:Bowser lookalikes also includes False Bowser from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so should the other Shadow Bug versions of characters from that game (Mario, Luigi, and Peach) also count?
It should also be noted that Shadoo isn't a shapeshifter, but an unseen character who creates clones for the player to fight. Don't know if they should be in Category:Clones or if each of their page redirects (Dark Mario, Dark Peach, etc.) should be added to the category instead. TyGuy24 (talk) 01:27, February 6, 2024 (EST)
This is the proposal in question.Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 05:48, February 6, 2024 (EST)
The proposal called for shapeshifters to be exempt and also to exclude Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. I'm not familiar with Super Smash Bros. Brawl at all but it does look like the False characters could qualify, along with the papercrafts. I may also need to give some thought to Shadoo's clones. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 06:03, February 6, 2024 (EST)
Okay, thanks, I think that proposal cleared some stuff up for me. I went ahead and added the Papercrafts, as well as False Peach from Brawl. Both her and False Bowser appear in cutscenes and play a role in the story of Subspace Emissary to some extent. The rest of the False Characters (including False Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong) are fought near the end of the game, are only seen in gameplay, and look different from the False Characters that appear in earlier cutscenes. These False Characters are instances of clones that can look like (almost) anybody in the game, so I didn't add them to Mario's, Luigi's, or Donkey Kong's lookalike categories.
Although Shadoo's clones can be considered an instance of "clones that can look like anybody", I'm not sure they should be removed from the lookalike categories. There's only four playable characters in the game, and the Cosmic Clones as well as Cosmic Mario/Luigi are both considered to be lookalikes, despite copying both playable characters.
Bowser Jr. resembles Baby Bowser more than Koopa Kid does, so I think he should remain in Category:Bowser lookalikes.
I'm considering editing the category pages to specify that "lookalikes" have to be intentionally and heavily designed after the characters which they resemble, and should include "doppelgangers" and "copies" of characters. Does that sound right to you?
Also, something interesting to consider are Mario Bros-esque characters like Cork and Cask, the Starshade Bros., the Hammerhead Bros., and the Massif Bros. Although they don't really fit into Category:Mario lookalikes or Category:Luigi lookalikes individually (Cork, Sledge, General Starshade, and Big Massif don't look much like Mario on their own, while Cask, Mallet, Sergeant Starshade, and Lil' Massif also don't look much like Luigi), as pairs they are definitely still meant to resemble the Mario Bros. Maybe they have a place in the general lookalikes category? TyGuy24 (talk) 02:02, February 8, 2024 (EST)

Category:Thieves cleanup[edit]

There's been a lot of impetus to clean up categories lately, hasn't there? One I think could use a look at is Category:Thieves. Right now, it's not in the greatest state. It's an odd mix of occupational thieves and villians who steal as part of their greater evil plans. Not to mention we have all seven Koopalings and the general Koopalings page in there — why not just include Category:Koopalings as a subcategory? There was brief talk of cleanup from late 2017 through early 2018, though no action was made on it. I agree with Doc von Schmeltwick's suggestion of trimming the definition to just chronic and/or occupational thieves, though. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:26, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Saw Antasma there almost immediately and yeah, this may need sorting out too. Best idea would be characters who commonly act as thieves like Croco, Popple and Ms Mowz, though I'm not sure how we are going to go about this. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 16:43, January 8, 2024 (EST)
Again, that's the definition I'm vouching for, but we'll need more feedback before we launch a proposal. I'll let Camwoodstock and Doc von Schmeltwick know. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 17:05, January 8, 2024 (EST)
We can give it a quick look! But uh, should we put our feedback in the category's talkpage? That way this can hopefully be outside of a random user's talkpage for ease of finding it. ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 19:14, January 8, 2024 (EST)
Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem. We're working with just one category and not five, after all. It'd make it easier for us to transition into a proposal, too. By the way, Doc von Schmeltwick remains on board with trimming the category's definition. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 19:21, January 8, 2024 (EST)
Camwoodstock's looooong dissection has been posted to the category talk page. Now it's time to move discussion over there. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 20:54, January 8, 2024 (EST)
I hate to repeat myself, but I'm waiting for your response to Camwoodstock's dissection on Category:Thieves. Here's the talk page. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:34, January 11, 2024 (EST)

Elemental category stuff[edit]

Hey, I noticed you implementing that SMRPG category proposal, and that makes sense, but I feel like some of these removals feel a bit overcorrect-ish. I mean, the original elemental category proposal had an exception for stuff like Bowser being associated with fire due to his fire breath, but then you have Muckle, which only attacks with ice, is resistant to ice, and drops an ice-related item, and it was removed from Category:Ice creatures. Same with Bahamutt being removed from Category:Fire creatures. I'm not sure how to end this comment, sorry, I guess, would it be okay to re-add those? Blinker (talk) 14:28, January 15, 2024 (EST)

I didn't want to have anything that could be arbitrary about this (e.g if enemies had resistances or used a lot of those types of attacks), so I'd still rather have the categories ommited from those for the sake of caution. I left fire creatures on Czar Dragon since it is made of Lava Babbles. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:53, January 15, 2024 (EST)

What do you mean discussion is forum talk then?NEMRISE1294 (talk) 23:14, February 24, 2024 (EST)

You were told already that talk pages are only for discussing article changes and your last comment confirmed that it was just casual talk about the subject, which is removed on sight. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 05:28, February 25, 2024 (EST)

Photos of the 3-4 errors from the Prima Guide[edit]

On the Fandom Mario Wiki, I found pictures showing the exit flag color error for World 3-4 in the Prima Guide. Here is the reference: [4] 24.127.7.223 19:47, February 25, 2024 (EST)

Did you see my request? It is World 3-4 from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. This fandom wiki gave you the photos you need to show the flag color errors from the Prima Games guide. 24.127.7.223 17:51, February 29, 2024 (EST)
Are you asking me to upload the images? Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 17:59, February 29, 2024 (EST)
Yes, yes I am. Please. 24.127.7.223 18:32, February 29, 2024 (EST)

Nice new name![edit]

I really like the new username you've assumed there! Hell, it even matches your signature perfectly! --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 11:11, February 29, 2024 (EST)

Thank you for the nice words, I had wanted to change my name for a little while after a few occasions my name was taken out of context but just couldn't decide on another one until playing Yohane the Parhelion: Numazu in the Mirage and thought Nightwicked was a cool name. For my signature, I may replace Rindo with someone from Yohane, but will still keep Rindo and Fret in my userpage.

New Soup redirects[edit]

I mean, since RelaxAlax started calling those games 'New Soup,' which was 6 or 7 years ago, a lot of people started calling those games that as well. So to me, it's not that farfetched to create those redirects. I'm sure a lot of people will use them, starting with myself. --Conradd (talk) 12:06, March 14, 2024 (EDT)

A few years ago there were redirects created for The Super Mario Bros, Super Show episodes with titles originating from the Wildbrain YouTube channel such as "Ahehehauhe", and many of those ended up getting deleted. We do not need redirects based on what some random YouTuber or internet personality calls them, I've certainly never heard of RelaxAlax nor seen anyone ever call New Super Mario Bros "New Soup". You should take a close look at MarioWiki:Redirects#Unnecessary redirects. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 12:12, March 14, 2024 (EDT)

Fandom template proposal[edit]

Fandom's interwiki link has been fixed one or more years ago. Just as I researched, [[wikia:c:spongebob:Bikini Bottom|Bikini Bottom]] takes you here By the way, there's a proposal on decisions to add the language parameters and/or change back to the interwiki, and the deadline is tomorrow. Which option would you choose? GuntherBayBeee.jpgGuntherBayBeeeGravity Rush Kat.png 14:17, March 22, 2024 (EDT)

I don't really care, so I'm not voting. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 15:50, March 22, 2024 (EDT)

Thank you by all support![edit]

Proposal cleaned up[edit]

I cleaned up my proposal by adding the <pre> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks? GuntherBayBeee.jpgGuntherBayBeeeGravity Rush Kat.png 21:18, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

First, I'm not interested in this one either. Second, per MarioWiki:Courtesy, do not go around other users' talk pages asking for votes in proposals. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 21:33, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

Antasma[edit]

Can you please add that on the "Antasma" page, during his first fight at the start of the game, his bat attack doesn't damage Mario, as for both him and Mario, no damage numbers are displayed, and the first battle always ends after two turns. 68.36.158.225 17:30, April 10, 2024 (EDT)

I need a page deleted.[edit]

Hello! I uploaded a MP4 media file recently that I meant to use as a video clip. However, it was uploaded as an audio file and not a video file. I then converted it to a GIF and attempted to upload a new version of the file, only for the wiki to stop me with an error message. I would like for the file that I uploaded (and its corresponding page) to be deleted, as the file is useless now that I have it as a GIF. Once the file is deleted, I will upload my GIF file. Please delete the page as soon as possible. The page is File:PPS Transformation Cutscene.mp4. I already contacted Mario (talk) about this, but I have gotten no response. I am sending a nearly identical message to Mario jc (talk) because I want this done as soon as possible. Thank you so, so much! -- Artwork of Rosalina used in Mario Party: The Top 100, Mario Kart Tour and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Shy Guy (i'm kinda worried)[edit]

Who was the IP doxing? Was it anyone related to the Wiki's userbase/staff community? You don't need to specify who it is specifically, just give an affirmative or negative response. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 14:11, April 17, 2024 (EDT)

I have no idea who it was (don't even know if it was someone in the wiki community), the edit did contain a home address and an email. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:27, April 17, 2024 (EDT)
Regardless, thank you for having hidden the revision. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 14:35, April 17, 2024 (EDT)

Question[edit]

Why are you spying me?Arthur2 (talk) 12:10, April 27, 2024 (EDT)

I'm not "spying", I look at the recent changes page to see what edits happen around the wiki. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 12:45, April 27, 2024 (EDT)

Why did you delete my page?!NEMRISE1294 (talk) 14:35, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

Because it only had two sentences, no categories and no images. Articles that short are normally deleted on sight, and must be near-complete upon creation. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:37, May 11, 2024 (EDT)
