== Do you have any other Prima Guides (digital or physical)? ==


Could you skip through them to see if any of them have any them have any screenshots that look prerelease (from non-final version/s)? Or maybe let me borrow your Prima account (my email is david5525879@gmail.com) :P. Its because the digital 3D World guide has some prerelease screenshots on one of the preview pages, but I didn't want to buy it just to look at the other pages (and the publicly-available URLs for the images don't seem to follow a patter). --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 09:34, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

I've got the screenshots I know to be prerelease from the [https://www.primagames.com/games/super-mario-3d-world/guides/super-mario-3d-world-eguide eGuide preview], so I may not need any more, if the eGuide is the same as the physical guide.

To make things easier, why not just upload all the MIDI to OGG audio at once for [[List of Mario's Time Machine media]]? That's what I did for various [[SNES]] games (which was my experimental phase of using {{tem|media table}} and {{tem|main-media}}). Now other users have a library to reference from and link to specific audio files, for use on other articles, such as for levels, objects, and other things. For example, [[List of Super Mario World media]] used the [[P Switch]] music, so I linked the [[:File:SMW Switch BGM.oga|audio file]] in both those articles. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 14:56, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

:OK, kind of late now, but for anything else with zero media uploads. Like say for [[List of Mario is Missing! media]], upload the MIDIs for that PC/DOS game at once. This is where the redlink trick really shines when using {{tem|media table}}. I middle-wheel-click the redlink, which opens a new tab or window (based on browser preferences). You can expand the trick even further if you use [[Wikipedia:Notepad++|Notepad++]] and understand [[Wikipedia:Regular expression|RegEx]] and [[Wikipedia:Command-line interface|Windows CMD]]. Once I got CMD looking at the folder containing the music tracks, I used the command <code>dir /B > list.txt</code>, which instead of outputting to the CMD window, it outputs a text file in the same directory as the folder being used in CMD. That's how I created so many list pages within a few days. My method really removed a lot of tedium. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 19:48, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

::Are there templates for other things found in [[Special:Interwiki]], aside from Wikipedia and {{tem|wp}}, especially [[NIWA]]-related things?

I don't know if there's a better quality version, as the only areas I saw this was on a merchandise box, but as of now, I don't think this quality is acceptable enough to not be tagged with it. Also, I'm not even the current uploader, I just reverted it to an earlier revision. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 19:53, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

:One thing that makes this replacement harder is not knowing where the image came from. The closest match is [[:File:Wario and Waluigi - MKDD.png]], which makes me think that [[:File:Brute.jpg|the upload]] is derivative work. I can't find the picture in the MKDS instruction manual, but I checked MKDD instruction manual. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 14:46, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Hello! I just dropped in to ask you if you could please add page numbers to the DKCTF articles. [[:Category:Page number needed|Here they are]]. Only when you have the time, I suppose you're currently busy researching historical figures and places for those "Mario's Time Machine" articles, which, I have to say, look very nice and I am a big fan of. Have a nice day! -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}}

Have a nice day! -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}}
:Thank you for adding page numbers and also for the quick lesson. I know I needed it because I was pretty confused with categories, but was never interested in reading a related guideline. You really like to take your time with other people and your work, and that I can only appreciate. I guess your name derived from that, maybe subconsciously, who knows? -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}}

== Re:Yoshi's Story ==
== Um... ==


I'm familiar with it - I've had the Nintendo Power guide, and recently got my hands on the Shogakukan one for good measure (I haven't gotten around to adding anything else from it yet, but it'll at least affect the rest of the Shy Guy articles). The Prima guide could have names that the Nintendo Power guide lacks, but from what I can tell, it's from their unlicensed period. I'm not sure what the case for that is since I think they only became authorized by Nintendo shortly afterwards... You might have to ask about using pre-licensing Prima for the wiki. I can definitely help out if it's considered official/useable, though. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 09:31, 14 August 2017 (EDT)
Just letting you know, your proposal to unfeature Mario Party 9 ended a long time ago. I don't mean to sound rude if I came off as rude. [[User:Marioguy|Marioguy]] ([[User talk:Marioguy|talk]]) 18:19, 14 August 2017 (EDT)
 
== RE: Trivia ==
 
I take your point, and obviously no, that's more a trivia point. However, in the case of Snowman Doll, I feel the first point was fine in the introduction of the article. Reading it, for me, it didn't feel tacked on. {{User|Yoshi876}}
