== Cap Block ==
== Your user page is empty... too empty ==


The ''SM64'' / ''SM64DS'' section on [[! Block]] suggests that the article be split into "! Block" and "Cap Block." I created an article for Cap Block, but 7feetunder reverted my edits because the split wasn't discussed. Do you think an article for Cap Block should be made?

:The message seems to come across the same either way, but I'll bring it up to the rest of the team and see what they think. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:06, December 30, 2021 (EST)


== Hot Wheels page==
I had an idea to update the template, also I updated on Wikipedia a bit. I believe there are more users that born in 1999 than 1989 on this wiki. Which is better, 1972 at time of 1986, or 1999 at time of 2013? Whether the status quo is better? What do you think of changing to [[Charles Martinet]] at time of SM64 release date? <nowiki>{{age|September 17, 1955|September 29, 1996}}</nowiki> Since the template is protected and I can't edit right now. [[User:Windy|Windy]] ([[User talk:Windy|talk]]) 13:14, May 4, 2023 (EDT)
Hello! Before starting a revert war I have to ask, is there a wiki policy pertaining merchandise? I can see that most articles about merchandise don't include a "one in package and one open" gallery so I don't see why this should apply too specially since there are not good quality images of everything on the web and no one else is helping to add photos of their own. Regards! [[User:MariusM|MariusM]] ([[User talk:MariusM|talk]]) 14:35, January 3, 2022 (EST)
:It's just an example, so there's not really a point to updating it. Anyway, it's primarily meant for the mainspace, so it doesn't really matter what the average age of our editors are. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 14:45, May 4, 2023 (EDT)
:As far as I'm aware there's not a specific policy for that, however there is precedent to have both images, such as [[Gallery:amiibo]] and other items on the Hot Wheels page. Personally I think in this specific case, it's good to have both images to provide a clear picture of the product. Since these are fairly recent products it shouldn't be too difficult to find high-quality images of them, online storefronts can be a good place to look. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 16:06, January 3, 2022 (EST)
::This was considered a pointless edit. It is true that the median age has increased. Although the date was written in 2006, the ratio is very different from the teenagers of that time and the teenagers in these days. [[User:Windy|Windy]] ([[User talk:Windy|talk]]) 23:22, December 25, 2023 (EST)
::Exactly, the [[amiibo]] Mainspace page and the [[Gallery:amiibo]] are two different pages that cover different aspects. In this case the first shows the toys Out of Box while the latter is for OoB and IB. The [[Hot Wheels]] page should be more akin to the [[amiibo]] page for general information, available images and lists. A new page [[Gallery:Hot Wheels]] can be created to add both options, but not the mainspace one. The other items on the Hot Wheels page that appear with both were added by you since 2019 and there hasn't been any clear intention of adding the rest by you or anyone else for the other lines besides the Character cars very recently. [[User:MariusM|MariusM]] ([[User talk:MariusM|talk]]) 17:27, January 3, 2022 (EST)
:::The amiibo article may be an outlier, but the principle is still the same. Hot Wheels (like most other merchandise-based articles such as [[San-ei Co., Ltd.]] and [[K'NEX]]) isn't split between an article and a separate gallery, it's more of a hybrid page. You could propose it, but there's no reason to split off into a separate gallery in my opinion, because there's just not enough information about the merchandise line by itself to warrant separate pages for the information and the images. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:08, January 3, 2022 (EST)
::::My point was not to create the Gallery. As you well said amiibo is the outlier, the rest of the merchandise pages don't have a need for both OoB and IB. In this similar vein the images IB show the product well enough, the issue is that the Gallery tabs reduce the size of the image and it seems to not be clear enough to exemplify the products altough when clicking on every image gives the detail I think you'd like to be added to the page. The other point I'm raising is that the fact that someone adds a "Nocoverart.png" to a Gallery should only be done when no other image exists at all that exmplifies the object or subject. In this case there was a IB image for most, if another user has or can add a second image with different details it should be done after uploading them, not as placeholders with no particular intention from the user or others to add them in a not specified future. Also, if a group picture exemplifies all the products and there doesn't seem to be individual images, why not leave the group photo? [[User:MariusM|MariusM]] ([[User talk:MariusM|talk]]) 18:33, January 3, 2022 (EST)
:::::amiibo is the outlier in organization, not coverage. There's no reason not to have both images for better coverage. The formatting you had under the 8-Car Series section with the group photo and the gallery removed isn't really the kind of formatting that works well on a wiki either, I'm afraid. As far as I'm aware there's not really anything set in stone for using image placeholders, there could be an argument either way for that. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 19:00, January 3, 2022 (EST)

<div style="float:none; border:1px solid  #000;background:linear-gradient(to bottom, #c4c4c4, #e8e8e8);padding:2px; width:50%; margin: 0 auto;">
Hey, I was just going to ignore this, 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 will cease with the edit summary nonsense effective today. But can you let this [[User:Sdman213|user]] know for next time, if someone leaves a message on their talk page, not to be rude and answer them. It also provides assurance that a solution can be reached if there is a problem. I find it ironic that he will respond to other users talk pages but not me. Now that’s not courteous.😒 And I thought maybe someone with higher level experience hear this. {{User:Marino13/sig}} 20:04, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
:I have to be honest, I've looked into this (as have a few other admins) and I don't think Sdman has done anything wrong based on our policy. Users aren't required to respond to every message they get, and generally we'll only step in if it's impacting the quality of the wiki (i.e. a user continuing to break rules after being notified, or ignoring attempts to solve an editing dispute). I don't think that line has been crossed here. At most there's a handful of messages asking about reverted edits, but I checked up on those and they were already handled by clear edit summaries anyway. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:13, May 11, 2023 (EDT)


I put {{tem|fake link}} on the headers of entries without pages because some used the template like this before I cleaned up the pages; many of the entries ''were'' pages at a point in time; and it just looks better alongside the headers with links.

:I really don't think that's necessary, the point of the header link is to show that this is a real page that (currently) exists and to take you there. Having what appears to be a link that goes nowhere because the page was deleted long ago isn't really helpful. Fake link has its uses but I don't think this is one of them. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 11:56, March 8, 2022 (EST)


== No longer using Discord ==
I'll prelude this by saying the MK8 one wasn't mine and I agree it shouldn't have lost information (though I want to table it as well into something that actually has the required information...and I think the current gallery images are really poor tiny in-game crops, so the icons are probably the right way to go.). Anyways, I asked around several chats on Discord (as in, off-wiki people, so potential readers rather than editors... so, our demographic) which of our takes on the ''Mario Golf'' character tables worked better for them, and I got unanimous support on that front. Just wanted to let you know. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:37, May 31, 2023 (EDT)
:The reason I redid that one was because someone on Discord complained about it going off the edge of their screen, with no option to scroll. Even as I was working on it though I wondered if it really needs a table since there's so little information there, though. That and the Strikers table aren't the [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/297596959026446337/1113570870137454703/image.png only] [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/297596959026446337/1113570793511735307/image.png instances] of these revisions not playing nice on smaller screens, by the way. (Yeah, I knew the MK8 one wasn't yours. I think those images ''did'' come from the official website, but icons are probably more consistent considering that's all we have for the DLC characters.) --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:11, May 31, 2023 (EDT)
::Hmm, so if the table could be made to have an interior scroll on smaller screens, might that solve the issue while still not being.... overly blank?

Hi! In addition to your position as the Fake News Director, you can also open an upcoming Mario fanon wiki called "Fake News NOW". It will be a fanon counterpart of Super Mario Wiki, just like how Ukikipedia is a Super Mario 64 counterpart of the Super Mario Wiki. For example, the name of Fake News NOW's main page when opened will say "Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki", and the name of the page about the canon article focusing on Mario when opened will say "Mario - Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki". You can be the webmaster of Fake News NOW and hire Super Mario Wiki users to create their Fake News NOW accounts create fanon pages. Here's the URL for Fake News NOW:

Hey there. I've still been trying to think of ways to cover most of ''Mario Kart Tour's'' various variants. I did bring up a new idea on Tour's talk page about possibly creating list articles for a base subject's variants (example "List of Mario Variants in ''Mario Kart Tour''). It's been some time and not much activity has kicked up, so I thought I'd try asking some people directly, mostly people who were involved with my initial [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/57#Split or Merge Mario Kart Tour's Pallet Swaps|proposal]] concerning palette swaps. I understand the opposition, but I still feel we can cover variants differently, since Mario has like nearly 20 variants in total. I know that there are a lot of characters who only have like one or two variants, which is why I was thinking maybe we could make listing articles for subjects who reach a certain number of variants. I was hoping to get some further insight on other people's opinions and see if they have anything they can contribute further in terms of ideas on how it could work or things I could be missing. {{User:Tails777/sig}}14:50, March 30, 2022 (EDT)
==Clarification on [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/61#Discourage drive-by templating part 2|this proposal]]==
:I've seen it, not sure if I have anything to add right now unfortunately. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:14, March 30, 2022 (EDT)
Hey, so Swallow notified me about that proposal from a while back that I wasn't aware of, and I'm confused about it. You can refer to our user pages to get up to speed (most of it is on Swallow's). Fair enough, many of those were quite old and outdated, but I still think some of the articles that used to have one of those templates don't really require much discussion to enact even now: some cases are either self-evident or policy-driven (i.e.recent/common). Glancing at your edit history, I'll just pick out a few that stand out to me, in my opinion: arrow wheel, Bowser Memory ML, CLEAR Block, Little Ogre, M-Token, Papa (disambiguation), Power Sneakers, spotted platform, Switch Block (Yoshi's Island series), Yoshi Island Spirits... However, Swallow tells me that, apparently, all of the articles that used to have those templates now require having discussions (re)opened. This is especially troublesome because I already moved spotted platform and "Switch Block" earlier due to the former being superseded and the latter's lack of better source, but those articles used to have a move template, so does that mean all that work will be unnecessarily undone? I interpret the proposal as intended to be more of an immediate clean-up rather than a super-strict rule since you used phrases like "some level of discretion," and genuinely, I don't think that part of the proposal was "set in stone" - was it something that came up at a different point? EDIT: I didn't see Swallow's most recent talk page comment until after posting, so it looks like there was a misunderstanding after all. Oh well. I guess the lesser points I've made at Swallow's talk page still stand, so as the proposer, I'm curious what you think regardless. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 15:11, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::That's fine. If you do have any thoughts in the future, feel free to let me know. {{User:Tails777/sig}}15:27, March 30, 2022 (EDT)
:Yes, this is meant to be a change going forward since it's addressing more problems than just a cleanup of the categories (and besides, a cleanup is only useful if you keep it clean). The references to discretion were specifically in reference to what defines an inactive discussion.
:The proposal doesn't affect any scenarios where the change is something that should just be done right away according to policy, since in that case you can probably just go ahead and make the change without needing to discuss it. It also wouldn't require any changes to be undone. It affects when those templates can be used and nothing else. Whether an old discussion needs to be reopened depends on how much engagement it got before going inactive. If it got some decent support but the change was just never made for whatever reason, you could probably just go ahead and make that change, but if it was inconclusive, better to open it up again before putting those templates back.
:My view on discussion activity is that if you're suggesting a change, it's your responsibility (or supporters' responsibility) to keep that discussion active until it reaches a conclusion, and if that doesn't happen, then there's really no need to keep bloating those categories with suggestions from years back that never panned out. Keeping a discussion active is as simple as bumping it or moving on to the proposal stage anyway.
:Hopefully that clears everything up, but if I missed something or anything's still unclear, let me know. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:14, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::Gonna put my two cents here, sometimes it's helpful to put those on there if policy dictates a move, but you don't have time to move it at the moment. The template works as a nice reminder without having to make a talk page over what should be a matter-of-policy move. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:17, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:::Drive-by templating like that eventually leads to bloated maintenance categories (which isn't very editor friendly) and is something we've been trying to avoid recently. You should probably just wait until you have time to make the change. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:25, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::::I mean, from my perspective - as someone who's been guilty of "drive-by templating" - it's actually been helpful on my end to keep track of things. Seeing those still up after a while aided me in gauging situations, since my theory was that the longer exposure would naturally attract the strongest voices/opinions over time, and if it turned out that it didn't, it sometimes let me know that things were in the clear to proceed whenever I got around to revisiting. I did obviously open discussions when I thought things might have more contention right off the bat, but I suppose I did admittedly treat the template as a buffer between deeper discussion and outright editing. Again, I wasn't aware of the proposal or other discussion, so it is news to me now that it was seen as a problem to be taken care of. I am sorry that a number of users on the other end (over twenty!) viewed it as an eyesore. In fairness, I'll also say that it sometimes slips my mind that the move templates don't allow you to add your reason as a parameter, unlike the rewrite templates, so I would occasionally start to write reasons within the template, only to remember afterwards in preview that it doesn't quite work like that; therefore, I would often be forced to relegate those reasons to the edit summary, where I understand things tend to get buried. Would appending a similar reason parameter to those templates instead have worked to mitigate the issue? It would have made things more in line with the first drive-by proposal. And another thing still doesn't add up to me: like I said, I believe that proposal was made after Porple hid most meta categories/templates from visibility when signed out. I thought that already served to address it? As such, I feel like a proposal/discussion about it came...maybe a little late. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:48, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:::::That seems reasonable, I certainly wouldn't oppose having an option to include a reason on those templates in lieu of immediately starting a discussion (though if it's something that requires a paragraph to explain, that's probably better on the talk page). As far as I'm concerned, maintenance templates/categories being hidden when logged out is a completely unrelated matter. I was more concerned with keeping the maintenance categories themselves at a reasonable size (the more pages there are, the more overwhelming it is and the less likely it is any individual one will be addressed from there) and ensuring that the reasoning behind a suggestion is easily accessible. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 20:00, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::::::I see. Well, I think it would be a fair compromise. If a "Discourage drive-by templating part 2.5" needs to be made for this parameter, maybe I'm not the one who should do it. Would you like to make it instead? Can you think of any other ways to improve templating before another proposal is written? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:09, August 6, 2023 (EDT)
:::::::It probably doesn't need a proposal at all. I don't know why the addition would be controversial, and allowing the parameter to be used instead of a talk page discussion still follows the spirit of the original proposal, if not the letter (which it couldn't have since it wasn't an option at the time). I would suggest also adding a date parameter to go along with it like some of the other maintenance templates have. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:56, August 6, 2023 (EDT)


== Proposal rule change ==
== Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Revision ==


[[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/58#Overhaul the no quorum proposal rule (#8)|My proposal]] to amend rule 8 just passed, and both proposed solutions are pending application. The rule should be edited to read like this:
Hi! I'm not the user whose edit you undid in [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe&oldid=3964175 this revision], but I wanted to follow up with it as it was a question I had [[Talk:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Wave 6 original order?|already asked on the talk page]] and had not received a response.


"Any proposal where none of the options have at least four votes will be extended for another week. If after three extensions, no options have at least four votes, the proposal will be listed as "[[wikipedia:Quorum|NO QUORUM]]." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion."
Part of why I believe this would be a worthy inclusion even though we don't know what courses will be in Wave 6 yet is because we ''do'' know some of the courses that were ''supposed'' to be in Wave 6 -- [[Wii Maple Treeway]] and [[Wii Moonview Highway]] are both already indicated to have been intended for that wave in the section (or at least the code used for Moonview Highway, though it was apparently a new track), while [[Tour Athens Dash]] and [[Tour Vancouver Velocity]] implicitly are as well, as they are not listed in any of the other waves. While this information is implied by the section, it's peculiarly left out of the complete list. Since we already know that at least those courses have been changed, I see no reason why we shouldn't go ahead and have a column. It would help readers to visualize which slots in Wave 6 we know will have been replaced when the wave does roll around. [[Special:Contributions/73.171.36.107|73.171.36.107]] 21:27, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:Ah, I see now. Admittedly, I quickly looked at the edit but didn't realize that some of the tracks in the original Wave 6 are now in other waves, so the final one will definitely be different then. In that case, I think it's fine to put back on the page, though I don't have time to figure out the proper wikicode right now. Thanks for pointing this out and clarifying. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 22:10, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::No worries! I'm not able to edit the page myself as I don't have an account, but here is the correct wikicode if you would like to copy-paste it. I went ahead and removed the placeholder column for Wave 6 (final), since we don't know any information on it yet, and I split it into two rows of two waves each to make it a bit less condensed.

*Hit him with a broom. This is much more effective if your broom has been coated in former MarioWiki editor janitorial blood, obtained only during specific MarioWiki rituals. Bring a bucket, as this leaves evidence. You do not want Scaredy Rats finding out and then starting a new home and then having children that will eventually ask you financial assistance to pay the tuition for college!
|-
*If Wario is at a theme park, remove all safety signs! This means [[:File:WarioOnARollercoaster.png|Wario will ride roller coasters]] without knowing he needs a safety harness and he'll fall off and explode!
| ???<ref group="a" name="moonview">Although this course originally lacked a prefix, it shares its internal ID with {{classic|Wii|Moonview Highway}}.</ref>
*Challenge Wario to golf. It is not very known that Wario is [[:File:Wario+8.png|a terrible golfer]], and the Mushroom Gods respond by zapping him with electricity for every double bogey he gets!
|-
*Invite Wario to a jewelry store. [[:File:SM64 DS Amp Glitch.png|Amps love crystals, but they hate Wario]]. There will be an ensuing light show! If you think jewelry is pretty, wait until you find Wario getting electrocuted and exploding!

*Challenge Waluigi to duel Wario. [[:File:Merry Poppings (Draw) - Mario Party 5.png|It is guaranteed both will lose.]]
|-
*[[:File:SquaredAway End 5.png|Squish Wario]]. Everything big enough to crush him is gravitationally attracted to him anyway, thanks to his awful smell. Careful, [[:File:Flatwario.jpg|this isn't foolproof]], so make sure you bring some flamethrowers just in case.

*Suggest Wario to give away oranges to Bowser for Valentine's Day. Bowser hates oranges!
|-
*[[:File:SNES - Mario & Wario - Ending 3.PNG|Toss Wario into oil barrels]]. If we can discard nuclear waste okay, then handling Wario isn't a problem.

*Feed Wario rotten garlic. Wario won't notice anyway, and he'll use his newfound confidence after eating the garlic to try to stop trains and will be wildly unsuccessful with that endeavor.
|-
*Have Wario edit MarioWiki! This is so you can entice him to join a Mafia game and then you can all conspire to kill him! Wario is too lazy to write for the 'Shroom, however, so don't think about that.

Hi, this is Results May Vary. I've waited for the right moment to ask, but I'm kindly requesting for my user page to be deleted (not talk page). It's not running away -- it's to symbolize the fact that I've moved on. I am sorry for ever being involved with the wikis, delayed and hesitant apologies, and I am also sorry for being very mean to some folks online. I don't want to appeal my ban -- please, if anything, keep me permabanned -- as unbanning me would not reflect the fact that I'm done with online communities from now on (and no, this is not [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Chris_and_the_Internet#Attempts_to_leave_the_Internet one of those cases]). People did not trust me to learn from my mistakes or not do the same thing again, so by deleting the Discord and moving on, both online and in real life, that is my best way of conveying it.
== Quick little question... ==

:It looks like a new button can be added pretty easily by adding a single line of code. Here's the one for the A button on the Switch, for example.
:<pre>|switch-a=<span title="A Button">[[File:Switch A Button.svg|{{{size|x16px}}}|link=|class=invert|A Button]]</span></pre>
:So you would replace ''switch-a'' with whatever code you want to be used to make that button appear, and then swap out the image and the span title/image caption.

Hey, Waluigi Time. So I was told to give a pause of separating history on articles. Since you brought up the ''Mario Kart Tour'' articles being extremely large, I thought about drafting the template icons to help reduce the mess; I am working on the project here: [[User:Derekblue1/sandbox]]. What do you think? {{User:Derekblue1/sig}} 03:40, December 3, 2023 (EST)
:Happy to help! I saw you've been creating a few merchandise pages and uploading images as well, so thanks for that. Merchandise coverage is something that's been lacking for a long time here, so it's something I like to focus on when I have time to work on projects. Every little bit helps! --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:27, September 10, 2022 (EDT)
:I don't think the code itself is the issue, it's the sheer amount of images being displayed on the page. The template would reduce how many bytes the pages are, but it wouldn't do anything to solve the actual problems. What really needs to be done is replacing the images with a text list of those subjects, which would also help for readability. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:41, December 3, 2023 (EST)
::I'm personally in support of such a template. If the Tour articles are extremely large, they just need to be split into more of them. Given all the character variations, reading stuff like Mario (Raindeer), Mario (Spaceman), Mario (Classic), in a crammed list would introduce an annoyance of its own. See like the [[Mario_Kart_Tour#Daily_Selects|Daily selects]] section for example. That's way too many gliders, characters, crammed into one wikitable. [[User:Super Game Gear|Super Game Gear]] ([[User talk:Super Game Gear|talk]]) 13:33, December 3, 2023 (EST)
:::I can agree with you there, I don't think listing everything in a single block of text is ideal. I envision using bullet point lists instead and maybe doing away with the tables entirely. The problem with just splitting pages up more is that we have to ask if they can logically be split further without inconveniencing readers. For example, one of the longest Tour-related pages is [[List of N64 Kalimari Desert tour appearances in Mario Kart Tour]]. This covers both versions of the course, so we could probably split off the 2nd version. That would cut the page down by less than half, which still leaves a very large page behind. The only logical option for splitting further is by year, but that's splitting up a pretty simple topic (the appearances of a single course in the game) across potentially five pages for each year the game was in service. (Also, for my point about readability, try picking a single kart/glider from the game and trying to find where - or if - it appears on one of these pages.) --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 16:02, December 3, 2023 (EST)

Hiya, Waluigi! Given your phenomenal performance as an editor of this Wiki (as well as a person in general), i'd like to engage you in a Friend Request:
:Because the files were mistakenly reuploaded with new filenames and replaced by another user with the new titles, so it was either move the old files to the new names to preserve the history or revert all the edits that were made to swap them out on pages.

My pet [[Conkdor]] keeps escaping from his cage. I actually made the cage by fusing my friends collection of [[Metal Cap|metal caps]] together. Last time he escaped I found him at a [[Condart]] farm which weirdly enough was a glass dome. The time before that, I found him at a Construction site with a lot of Conveyor belts, and there he was looking Confused with Confetti on the floor. It feels like there is a HUGE CON being played on me! My question is: What is happening and how and why is my Conkdor escaping?

Dear Waluigi Time,


==BJAODN==
I was playing Pizza Tower, when a weird portal appeared. Suddenly Pizzaface came and said he would blow up my house! I didn't know what to do, so when he fled, I went after him. When I went through, I saw this big tower-like thing that was like it was made up of towers, spires, etc. Strangely, there was sand & grass together! I see at the front of the big tower-like thing a big group of people, which reminds me of Peppino Spaghetti and the various other characters from not only Pizza Tower, but also its various mods and fangames! What do I do!?

== Background object removals for artwork ==
Dear Waluigi Time,


Last I checked, as long as it's not a .jpg, isolating subjects in artwork ''is'' allowed (heck, there are plenty on here ripped from ''full scene'' art). I generally prefer not to, but that image being made pointlessly wide compared to the others due to the car (itself a separate subject) left me without much choice. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:28, February 17, 2023 (EST)
Thanks for the answer! Surprisingly, Pizzaface didn't come back! Apparently the money in this tower is held by toppins. I don't know where the big group of people went, I assume they are in here as well. I've tried looking for "mustachioed Italians" like you said, but nothing YET. The portal disappeared as soon as I went through, so I couldn't just go back through. Plus, I don't want my house to blow up. The first open door I saw led to somewhere called "Tutorial". Upon completing it, I saw something that said "Lap portals unlocked". I think I'm going crazy! Laps!? And it didn't say which lap, so I assume all of them, but that's impossible! I thought I saw "mustachioed Italian" by this "boss gate", but nothing. It's open, but I don't want to go in without experience. Please help me with this.
:Edits like that really shouldn't be made, even for presentation. It gives off the impression that Nintendo officially released artwork of him without the kart when they didn't, especially when it's being used as his infobox image and in the game's gallery. (Also, it was pretty easy to tell where the kart was edited out.) Images that were edited out of a larger piece of artwork shouldn't be allowed either, if focusing on something specific is necessary it can just be cropped. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:40, February 17, 2023 (EST)
::How about solely cropping out the left side of the car exclusively to use on the table so it's not so short and wide compared to the others, but is obvious in its intent? (Also I'm curious how it was obvious-looking, I thought I accounted for the anti-aliasing fairly well... and I'm not convinced the current infobox image isn't also an artificial background removal, either...)

:::Assuming you're referring to just cropping the image and not editing anything out, I really don't think that's necessary, and for what it's worth, Glowsquid didn't either when I asked about it. It's not like it's a huge issue or anything. It also doesn't seem too good for presentation for the main game page to be having artwork that's cut off if we can help it. (It was pretty clear to me where the edges were pixelly where the kart was edited out, compared to the smooth edges elsewhere.) --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:14, February 18, 2023 (EST)

I must apologize for my behavior regarding how I brought up your previous opposition to Ashley & Red. I acted like a smartass there and was just annoyed by how successful the proposal was. When I was on the Discord server, I remember bringing up the idea of splitting Ashley and Red because of that game. I remember someone saying it wasn't necessary to do so because of that game. I don't remember who it was. I knew that calling you a hypocrite would be taking things too far, but I had that in the back of my mind when commenting about that. I try to write my comments respectfully. However, I felt slightly annoyed by this fair, democratic proposal, so I irrationally made that comment. I deserve a warning for this callous behavior since it was just plain rude. --[[User:Wikiboy10|Wikiboy10]] ([[User talk:Wikiboy10|talk]]) 14:40, February 23, 2023 (EST)

power-ups[edit]

Yoshi can be lost by taking damage, so if Yoshi isn't a power-up, the goomba's shoe isn't either. Goomba's shoe and Yoshi even replace each other based on game style. Pikachu210 (talk) 23:04, April 13, 2023 (EDT)

Age template[edit]

I had an idea to update the template, also I updated on Wikipedia a bit. I believe there are more users that born in 1999 than 1989 on this wiki. Which is better, 1972 at time of 1986, or 1999 at time of 2013? Whether the status quo is better? What do you think of changing to Charles Martinet at time of SM64 release date? {{age|September 17, 1955|September 29, 1996}} Since the template is protected and I can't edit right now. Windy (talk) 13:14, May 4, 2023 (EDT)

It's just an example, so there's not really a point to updating it. Anyway, it's primarily meant for the mainspace, so it doesn't really matter what the average age of our editors are. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 14:45, May 4, 2023 (EDT)
This was considered a pointless edit. It is true that the median age has increased. Although the date was written in 2006, the ratio is very different from the teenagers of that time and the teenagers in these days. Windy (talk) 23:22, December 25, 2023 (EST)

Question[edit]

Hey, I was just going to ignore this, 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)

I sent them a message about it to tell them to stop, if it continues please let me or another staff member know. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:13, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
Will do, thank so much. Sdman213 (talk) 17:28, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

Question 2.0: Courtesy Continued[edit]

I will cease with the edit summary nonsense effective today. But can you let this user know for next time, if someone leaves a message on their talk page, not to be rude and answer them. It also provides assurance that a solution can be reached if there is a problem. I find it ironic that he will respond to other users talk pages but not me. Now that’s not courteous.😒 And I thought maybe someone with higher level experience hear this. Dolphin.pngMarino13 20:04, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

I have to be honest, I've looked into this (as have a few other admins) and I don't think Sdman has done anything wrong based on our policy. Users aren't required to respond to every message they get, and generally we'll only step in if it's impacting the quality of the wiki (i.e. a user continuing to break rules after being notified, or ignoring attempts to solve an editing dispute). I don't think that line has been crossed here. At most there's a handful of messages asking about reverted edits, but I checked up on those and they were already handled by clear edit summaries anyway. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:13, May 11, 2023 (EDT)

Golf[edit]

I'll prelude this by saying the MK8 one wasn't mine and I agree it shouldn't have lost information (though I want to table it as well into something that actually has the required information...and I think the current gallery images are really poor tiny in-game crops, so the icons are probably the right way to go.). Anyways, I asked around several chats on Discord (as in, off-wiki people, so potential readers rather than editors... so, our demographic) which of our takes on the Mario Golf character tables worked better for them, and I got unanimous support on that front. Just wanted to let you know. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:37, May 31, 2023 (EDT)

The reason I redid that one was because someone on Discord complained about it going off the edge of their screen, with no option to scroll. Even as I was working on it though I wondered if it really needs a table since there's so little information there, though. That and the Strikers table aren't the only instances of these revisions not playing nice on smaller screens, by the way. (Yeah, I knew the MK8 one wasn't yours. I think those images did come from the official website, but icons are probably more consistent considering that's all we have for the DLC characters.) --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 18:11, May 31, 2023 (EDT)
Hmm, so if the table could be made to have an interior scroll on smaller screens, might that solve the issue while still not being.... overly blank? I have training in web design programming, I could pull it off. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:20, May 31, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Fanon content[edit]

Hi! In addition to your position as the Fake News Director, you can also open an upcoming Mario fanon wiki called "Fake News NOW". It will be a fanon counterpart of Super Mario Wiki, just like how Ukikipedia is a Super Mario 64 counterpart of the Super Mario Wiki. For example, the name of Fake News NOW's main page when opened will say "Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki", and the name of the page about the canon article focusing on Mario when opened will say "Mario - Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki". You can be the webmaster of Fake News NOW and hire Super Mario Wiki users to create their Fake News NOW accounts create fanon pages. Here's the URL for Fake News NOW:

http://www.mariofnn.com/

Also, here's the interwiki link to Fake News NOW:

Adding guidelines for my passed proposals[edit]

Hi! Now that my proposals about adding guidelines for archived pages and clarifying how to italicize merchandise titles have both passed, could you or another administrator please add the guidelines to MarioWiki:Citations and MarioWiki:Manual of Style, respectively? Admittedly, I feel like the merchandise title proposal could use some more discussion and more research into grammar rules on my part, but that'll have to wait per rule 7 of MarioWiki:Proposals.

The updates to MarioWiki:Manual of Style look perfect, but the only further change to MarioWiki:Citations I'd suggest is adding a note about how the date and time of a Wayback Machine capture can be determined from the archived page's URL, like I explained in my proposal.

Recurring Themes Infobox[edit]

How do I make an infobox template for recurring themes? I want to include a space for an audio clip, a picture of sheet music, the original composer, the first and latest appearances, etc. ToxicOJ (talk) 12:50, July 22, 2023 (EDT)

The easiest way to do it is to copy an existing infobox and replace the fields with the ones you want. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:52, July 22, 2023 (EDT)
I'll do that for the time being, but I think a unique one should still be made, considering that things like Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix songs have their own unique style of infobox. ToxicOJ (talk) 00:38, July 24, 2023 (EDT)

Clarification on this proposal[edit]

Hey, so Swallow notified me about that proposal from a while back that I wasn't aware of, and I'm confused about it. You can refer to our user pages to get up to speed (most of it is on Swallow's). Fair enough, many of those were quite old and outdated, but I still think some of the articles that used to have one of those templates don't really require much discussion to enact even now: some cases are either self-evident or policy-driven (i.e.recent/common). Glancing at your edit history, I'll just pick out a few that stand out to me, in my opinion: arrow wheel, Bowser Memory ML, CLEAR Block, Little Ogre, M-Token, Papa (disambiguation), Power Sneakers, spotted platform, Switch Block (Yoshi's Island series), Yoshi Island Spirits... However, Swallow tells me that, apparently, all of the articles that used to have those templates now require having discussions (re)opened. This is especially troublesome because I already moved spotted platform and "Switch Block" earlier due to the former being superseded and the latter's lack of better source, but those articles used to have a move template, so does that mean all that work will be unnecessarily undone? I interpret the proposal as intended to be more of an immediate clean-up rather than a super-strict rule since you used phrases like "some level of discretion," and genuinely, I don't think that part of the proposal was "set in stone" - was it something that came up at a different point? EDIT: I didn't see Swallow's most recent talk page comment until after posting, so it looks like there was a misunderstanding after all. Oh well. I guess the lesser points I've made at Swallow's talk page still stand, so as the proposer, I'm curious what you think regardless. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:11, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

Yes, this is meant to be a change going forward since it's addressing more problems than just a cleanup of the categories (and besides, a cleanup is only useful if you keep it clean). The references to discretion were specifically in reference to what defines an inactive discussion.
The proposal doesn't affect any scenarios where the change is something that should just be done right away according to policy, since in that case you can probably just go ahead and make the change without needing to discuss it. It also wouldn't require any changes to be undone. It affects when those templates can be used and nothing else. Whether an old discussion needs to be reopened depends on how much engagement it got before going inactive. If it got some decent support but the change was just never made for whatever reason, you could probably just go ahead and make that change, but if it was inconclusive, better to open it up again before putting those templates back.
My view on discussion activity is that if you're suggesting a change, it's your responsibility (or supporters' responsibility) to keep that discussion active until it reaches a conclusion, and if that doesn't happen, then there's really no need to keep bloating those categories with suggestions from years back that never panned out. Keeping a discussion active is as simple as bumping it or moving on to the proposal stage anyway.
Hopefully that clears everything up, but if I missed something or anything's still unclear, let me know. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 17:14, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
Gonna put my two cents here, sometimes it's helpful to put those on there if policy dictates a move, but you don't have time to move it at the moment. The template works as a nice reminder without having to make a talk page over what should be a matter-of-policy move. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:17, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
Drive-by templating like that eventually leads to bloated maintenance categories (which isn't very editor friendly) and is something we've been trying to avoid recently. You should probably just wait until you have time to make the change. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 17:25, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
I mean, from my perspective - as someone who's been guilty of "drive-by templating" - it's actually been helpful on my end to keep track of things. Seeing those still up after a while aided me in gauging situations, since my theory was that the longer exposure would naturally attract the strongest voices/opinions over time, and if it turned out that it didn't, it sometimes let me know that things were in the clear to proceed whenever I got around to revisiting. I did obviously open discussions when I thought things might have more contention right off the bat, but I suppose I did admittedly treat the template as a buffer between deeper discussion and outright editing. Again, I wasn't aware of the proposal or other discussion, so it is news to me now that it was seen as a problem to be taken care of. I am sorry that a number of users on the other end (over twenty!) viewed it as an eyesore. In fairness, I'll also say that it sometimes slips my mind that the move templates don't allow you to add your reason as a parameter, unlike the rewrite templates, so I would occasionally start to write reasons within the template, only to remember afterwards in preview that it doesn't quite work like that; therefore, I would often be forced to relegate those reasons to the edit summary, where I understand things tend to get buried. Would appending a similar reason parameter to those templates instead have worked to mitigate the issue? It would have made things more in line with the first drive-by proposal. And another thing still doesn't add up to me: like I said, I believe that proposal was made after Porple hid most meta categories/templates from visibility when signed out. I thought that already served to address it? As such, I feel like a proposal/discussion about it came...maybe a little late. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:48, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
That seems reasonable, I certainly wouldn't oppose having an option to include a reason on those templates in lieu of immediately starting a discussion (though if it's something that requires a paragraph to explain, that's probably better on the talk page). As far as I'm concerned, maintenance templates/categories being hidden when logged out is a completely unrelated matter. I was more concerned with keeping the maintenance categories themselves at a reasonable size (the more pages there are, the more overwhelming it is and the less likely it is any individual one will be addressed from there) and ensuring that the reasoning behind a suggestion is easily accessible. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 20:00, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
I see. Well, I think it would be a fair compromise. If a "Discourage drive-by templating part 2.5" needs to be made for this parameter, maybe I'm not the one who should do it. Would you like to make it instead? Can you think of any other ways to improve templating before another proposal is written? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:09, August 6, 2023 (EDT)
It probably doesn't need a proposal at all. I don't know why the addition would be controversial, and allowing the parameter to be used instead of a talk page discussion still follows the spirit of the original proposal, if not the letter (which it couldn't have since it wasn't an option at the time). I would suggest also adding a date parameter to go along with it like some of the other maintenance templates have. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Revision[edit]

Hi! I'm not the user whose edit you undid in this revision, but I wanted to follow up with it as it was a question I had already asked on the talk page and had not received a response.

Part of why I believe this would be a worthy inclusion even though we don't know what courses will be in Wave 6 yet is because we do know some of the courses that were supposed to be in Wave 6 -- Wii Maple Treeway and Wii Moonview Highway are both already indicated to have been intended for that wave in the section (or at least the code used for Moonview Highway, though it was apparently a new track), while Tour Athens Dash and Tour Vancouver Velocity implicitly are as well, as they are not listed in any of the other waves. While this information is implied by the section, it's peculiarly left out of the complete list. Since we already know that at least those courses have been changed, I see no reason why we shouldn't go ahead and have a column. It would help readers to visualize which slots in Wave 6 we know will have been replaced when the wave does roll around. 73.171.36.107 21:27, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

Ah, I see now. Admittedly, I quickly looked at the edit but didn't realize that some of the tracks in the original Wave 6 are now in other waves, so the final one will definitely be different then. In that case, I think it's fine to put back on the page, though I don't have time to figure out the proper wikicode right now. Thanks for pointing this out and clarifying. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 22:10, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
No worries! I'm not able to edit the page myself as I don't have an account, but here is the correct wikicode if you would like to copy-paste it. I went ahead and removed the placeholder column for Wave 6 (final), since we don't know any information on it yet, and I split it into two rows of two waves each to make it a bit less condensed.

How do you add stuff to Template:Button?[edit]

Hi, Waluigi Time. I hope you're doing well.

Within the past year, I have uploaded assets for the Nvidia Shield TV and iQue Player controllers with the intent of having them integrated into Template:Button, but I am not tech savvy enough to figure out how to do this. Do you know what one needs to do to add new button options? Thanks.

Issue 200 of The 'Shroom is great, btw. - Nintendo101 (talk) 13:44, December 2, 2023 (EST)

It looks like a new button can be added pretty easily by adding a single line of code. Here's the one for the A button on the Switch, for example.
|switch-a=<span title="A Button">[[File:Switch A Button.svg|{{{size|x16px}}}|link=|class=invert|A Button]]</span>
So you would replace switch-a with whatever code you want to be used to make that button appear, and then swap out the image and the span title/image caption. Hopefully that helps, but if you're having trouble with it then let me know and I can try to add it if you tell me what specific buttons you want added.
I'm glad you enjoyed the issue! --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 13:50, December 2, 2023 (EST)
This was helpful, thank you. This is probably obvious, but where would I physically write out this code? Because it does not seem to be how buttons are coded when I go to "Edit" on Template:Button, so I assume I have to be doing this on a different page. - Nintendo101 (talk) 14:06, December 2, 2023 (EST)
Make sure you're editing the whole page at once and looking at the first half of it, if you go too far you'll end up on the usage table which just shows how to use the template (although you'll want to update that as well). --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 14:09, December 2, 2023 (EST)

Mario Kart Tour icons[edit]

Hey, Waluigi Time. So I was told to give a pause of separating history on articles. Since you brought up the Mario Kart Tour articles being extremely large, I thought about drafting the template icons to help reduce the mess; I am working on the project here: User:Derekblue1/sandbox. What do you think? Derekblue1(talk)Daisy Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga-styled sprite 03:40, December 3, 2023 (EST)

I don't think the code itself is the issue, it's the sheer amount of images being displayed on the page. The template would reduce how many bytes the pages are, but it wouldn't do anything to solve the actual problems. What really needs to be done is replacing the images with a text list of those subjects, which would also help for readability. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:41, December 3, 2023 (EST)
I'm personally in support of such a template. If the Tour articles are extremely large, they just need to be split into more of them. Given all the character variations, reading stuff like Mario (Raindeer), Mario (Spaceman), Mario (Classic), in a crammed list would introduce an annoyance of its own. See like the Daily selects section for example. That's way too many gliders, characters, crammed into one wikitable. Super Game Gear (talk) 13:33, December 3, 2023 (EST)
I can agree with you there, I don't think listing everything in a single block of text is ideal. I envision using bullet point lists instead and maybe doing away with the tables entirely. The problem with just splitting pages up more is that we have to ask if they can logically be split further without inconveniencing readers. For example, one of the longest Tour-related pages is List of N64 Kalimari Desert tour appearances in Mario Kart Tour. This covers both versions of the course, so we could probably split off the 2nd version. That would cut the page down by less than half, which still leaves a very large page behind. The only logical option for splitting further is by year, but that's splitting up a pretty simple topic (the appearances of a single course in the game) across potentially five pages for each year the game was in service. (Also, for my point about readability, try picking a single kart/glider from the game and trying to find where - or if - it appears on one of these pages.) --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Talk:Spiny[edit]

Please accept my apologies for my confrontational attitude yesterday. I don't think dredging up that year-old proposal was anything more than reactionary and I figured that might not have sat well with you.

Dear Waluigi Time[edit]

Dear Waluigi Time,

My pet Conkdor keeps escaping from his cage. I actually made the cage by fusing my friends collection of metal caps together. Last time he escaped I found him at a Condart farm which weirdly enough was a glass dome. The time before that, I found him at a Construction site with a lot of Conveyor belts, and there he was looking Confused with Confetti on the floor. It feels like there is a HUGE CON being played on me! My question is: What is happening and how and why is my Conkdor escaping?

Dear Waluigi Time[edit]

Dear Waluigi Time,

I was playing Pizza Tower, when a weird portal appeared. Suddenly Pizzaface came and said he would blow up my house! I didn't know what to do, so when he fled, I went after him. When I went through, I saw this big tower-like thing that was like it was made up of towers, spires, etc. Strangely, there was sand & grass together! I see at the front of the big tower-like thing a big group of people, which reminds me of Peppino Spaghetti and the various other characters from not only Pizza Tower, but also its various mods and fangames! What do I do!?

P.S. The version of Pizza Tower I was playing specifically was Pizza Tower United Community Edition 4.5 Experimental Build 1 on top of Pizza Tower Noise Update (V1.1.0).

Dear Waluigi Time,

Thanks for the answer! Surprisingly, Pizzaface didn't come back! Apparently the money in this tower is held by toppins. I don't know where the big group of people went, I assume they are in here as well. I've tried looking for "mustachioed Italians" like you said, but nothing YET. The portal disappeared as soon as I went through, so I couldn't just go back through. Plus, I don't want my house to blow up. The first open door I saw led to somewhere called "Tutorial". Upon completing it, I saw something that said "Lap portals unlocked". I think I'm going crazy! Laps!? And it didn't say which lap, so I assume all of them, but that's impossible! I thought I saw "mustachioed Italian" by this "boss gate", but nothing. It's open, but I don't want to go in without experience. Please help me with this.

SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)

P.S. Thank you again for the anwser! It was a lot of help! Though I'm not allergic to pizza. Surprisingly, there's enough food here for me to survive a long time! Plus drinks!
