:I did. I think I know what your problem is, but I don't agree. I'm guessing you don't think it's necessary to list all of Nastasia's actions in every chapter interlude. But I think that's just fine. If that is the problem, we should get more user input. That's usually my solution to conflict.

== Off Waves Recovered ==
Hey, hope you're not too upset at [[Off Waves]] being deleted earlier. I asked {{User|Henry Tucayo Clay}} to recover the latest information, so that has all been readded. Nothing has been lost :)
Additionally (and I didn't exactly help much in this regard <small>as I completely blanked on it...</small>), if you want to move the information from one page to another, you have to actually click the "Move" option at the top. If the target page currently has history on it, it won't allow the move, so you have to mark it up for deletion saying something like <nowiki>{{delete|Make way for move}}</nowiki>. Doing this preserves the pages' histories so there's no loss of information. I don't know if you knew that already and blanked out on it yourself like I did, but here's the information for next time. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:32, 20 March 2017 (EDT)
:I'd be upset if the information couldn't be recovered, but I'm not too mad about the other part. I did not know the protocol for moving a page to a name that already exists, so thanks to you and {{User|Yoshi876}} for fixing that up for me.

::Obviously it has been recovered, but just to reassure you, everything you wrote was fine :) {{User|Yoshi876}}

== RogueSphere5678 ==
Hi, are you familiar with the account {{user|RogueSphere5678}}? You both appear to share the exact same IP address and computer info. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:58, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
:I realized as soon as I saw your message that I had made a mistake. My friend is over and he made an account... on my computer. Don't worry, I'm not sockpuppeting. If this is a problem, I suppose his account could be deleted and he could remake it at his house, but that would screw up the one contribution he made. Is there a way to move the IP info when he goes home?
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 22:03, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
::I see; that's okay, then. Deleting/moving won't be necessary; your friend can continue using his account like normal, now that you've let me know. Thanks. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:24, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
:::I am able to log in from my 2DS, but it is the same IP. But it should work for him to move locations as long as he remembers the password. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 22:29, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
:::Your friend would need to wait to be autoconfirmed anyway in order to create their own signature page. You can upload it for them in the meantime if you like, unless they'd rather wait to upload it themselves. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:54, 28 March 2017 (EDT)

== Goodbye ==
I managed to get by for a few weeks, but eventually, the guys at Nintendo of America quite allowing me to edit this wiki, probably afraid I'd give away new information (I write the stories for the games). So I'm afraid I need to go inactive. I won't be returning. Look for my name in the credits of the next Mario game. Goodbye, everyone. Keep contributing, since I can't. Ultimate Mr. L is real 2401!<br>
{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 12:12, 1 April 2017 (EDT)
:Lucky! It'll be sad without you here, but good luck with your new profession! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:15, 1 April 2017 (EDT)
::April Fools! While Story Writer remains my dream job, I do not work for Nintendo and will be contributing, hopefully, for years to come. :)
::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 23:31, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

== ''Super Mario Maker'' Sample Courses ==
Hey, on your work page, it says that you plan on creating the articles for the sample courses, but is it ok if I create some of them? I accidentally already created four of them before asking. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 13:48, 2 April 2017 (EDT)
:I completely forgot about that project! I'm finally not busy, so I can get back on it, but I don't mind some help.
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 16:05, 2 April 2017 (EDT)
::Thanks, I only planned on making a few anyway. I'll probably be able to make at least one tomorrow. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 17:57, 2 April 2017 (EDT)
:::I believe that I have made all of the sample course articles I planned on. Thanks again for letting me help! It also appears that {{User|Toadette the Achiever}} is helping creating sample course articles. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 17:20, 14 April 2017 (EDT)
==re: Shadow Character==
My logic is that there were still wicks to the Shadow Character page when I made the redirect, and when merging pages, I prefer to make redirects so that anyone who remember the original name can more easily look up what happened to the page. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 23:47, 2 April 2017 (EDT)
== Image Replaced ==
[[:File:Normal lizardguy.jpg]] has been replaced by [[:File:Francis SPM trans.png]] and your userpage is using the now deleted image. Just a heads up. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 18:57, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

== How have you been? ==
Hey, it's been a while since I've talked to you; how's it been going for you? It looks like you've been less active here the past few months. I've been editing less here, but I've been on the forum a lot. Do you have a forum account?<br>{{User:Luigi 64DD/sig}} 14:08, 6 April 2017 (EDT)
:I do not. And yes, I have been less active, but I'm still on at least once a day to check the Recent Changes.
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 15:17, 6 April 2017 (EDT)
== Redirects ==
Hello! According to the [[MarioWiki:Redirects|policy]], a proper-capitalization redirect and all-lowercase redirect may exist for each topic, so [[Afoot in the Foothills]], [[The Sands of Yold]], and [[Monster of the Ruins]] are okay to have. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 20:09, 20 June 2017 (EDT)
:Oh, okay. Thanks for the heads up. So should I make the rest of them all-lowercase, or should I make a capitalized and lowercase one for each level?
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 20:11, 20 June 2017 (EDT)
::You should probably make both, as when I asked {{User|Henry Tucayo Clay}} about it awhile age, he mentioned that just having a lowercase redirect would cause a red link if the proper name was linked to in an article.--{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 20:13, 20 June 2017 (EDT)
:::Will do. I'll start now. Thanks.
:::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 20:14, 20 June 2017 (EDT)
On the topic of redirects, please also keep in mind that, according to policy, lowercase redirects are not necessary if searching in all lowercase takes you to the page, either directly or through another redirect, ''without'' the lowercase redirect. So "[[afoot in the foothills]]" is fine because, without it, MediaWiki's search function won't recognise it as "[[Afoot in the Foothills]]". Redirects like "into outer space" are unneeded, since searching that will take me there anyway thanks to another one you created, "[[Into Outer Space]]". I would recommend searching first before creating a redirect. Thanks! {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:12, 21 June 2017 (EDT)
:Oh, okay. For a lot of them, I used the Search bar, but the redirect still worked. But I thought I still needed a lowercase one (not sure what was going on in my head), so I went to an article, made a link, clicked show preview, and clicked the red link to make it. So no more of that.
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 11:17, 21 June 2017 (EDT)
::It seems that we don't need a lowercase redirect if all of the words are capitalized in the proper one. For example, I needed both for '''A Crag in the Dark''' because two words are lowercase. But I only needed one for '''The Sealed Doors Three'''.
::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 11:26, 21 June 2017 (EDT)
== You're cool! ==
Hey, I got a few userpage ideas from you and think you're really cool! Nice work on your userpage!

== Moving pages ==
Something to keep in mind: whenever you move an article, you're also responsible for correcting every link to that article. [[Victory Parade]] applies; every article that links to [[Parade]] should instead link to that page. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:28, 6 October 2017 (EDT)
:OK. Thanks for the reminder.
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 13:23, 8 October 2017 (EDT)
::The navigation templates also count, and every link there is transcluded onto the articles it's on. In this case, [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Template:PM&curid=86092&diff=2304712&oldid=2276212 Template:PM] still linked to it.

== Two Minor Things ==
Oh, okay, I got it, Black Lightning. As for archiving my talk page, um...I don't know. [[User:Alex95|Alex95]] always archives his talk page when it reaches one-hundred topics, so I might have a little bit of space to work with. I don't know, I will have to look into it, but anyway, thanks for the info! I will be sure to keep it in mind, Black Lightning. {{User:Lcrossmk8/sig}} 21:11, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

== Bowser quote ==
One of the Bowser quotes in ''Super Paper Mario'' we have listed seems off to me: "''That Mr. L freak is a total insano.''"
