warning overturned
Further clarification confirmed that the edit was made in mistake and not in failure to heed to a previous advisory. As a note for the Infyte: kindly please make sure any information you come across, especially information pertaining to upcoming games, has been sourced. If you have to rely on memory or a friend's memory to source the information, you will need to claim this through something like an edit summary and at least add a citation needed template so further misunderstandings can be prevented. Thanks.

- Although I acknowledge that my edits were not officially confirmed, there were recent edits to the Mario Kart World image gallery indicating that the names of two character costumes had been officially confirmed to be “Explorer.” While I have been advised not to modify costume descriptions without official confirmation, I misinterpreted the newly added image gallery, which suggested that the costume names had been confirmed. I apologize for any misinformation I may have inadvertently disseminated. Considering that the character costumes were subsequently given to additional characters with confirmed names (e.g., Baby Luigi Work Crew and Baby Mario Work Crew), I believe that, despite not being officially confirmed by Nintendo, the costumes are essentially identical with only a simple recolor. Therefore, I find it somewhat arbitrary to impose restrictions on certain costumes. I do not intend to express any disrespect towards the moderators’ decisions. However, I believe that the warning issued is excessive, given that I was previously advised against adding unconfirmed names. This specific edit arose from a misunderstanding with the image gallery and the provided images, which implied that the names had been officially confirmed. I fully take responsibility for my actions and will no longer edit costume names without official confirmation. Nevertheless, I believe that the warning was overly harsh and should be reevaluated by moderators to fully comprehend my misunderstanding in this situation. Once again, I apologize for the unofficial edits and will refrain from editing costumes, regardless of their visibility. While I am committed to contributing to the wiki in any way possible, I feel that my efforts are being disregarded and devalued, which is disheartening. I aspire to become an administrator on the wiki, but I believe that the warning may hinder this goal. I appreciate the moderators’ efforts in preventing the spread of misinformation. However, the manner in which some moderators address me regarding these issues feels more like reprimanding than kindly requesting greater caution when making edits without sources. I do not intend to initiate any conflicts, but I believe that my feelings should be acknowledged and addressed by the moderators on the wiki. Thank you for considering my appeal, and I reiterate my apologies for the unofficial edits.
- (Response to issuer's question) Indeed, I can assist with that. After my edits were initially reverted, the Baby Mario (Work Crew) alternate character had been given a “conjectural name.” I subsequently modified the descriptions to align with the “conjectural name” format to prevent the dissemination of misinformation. I believe I only edited the characters with identical costumes to enhance the page’s visual appeal. However, I acknowledge my oversight in not fully comprehending the practice of “conjectural names.” Regardless, I fully take responsibility for my actions. If you believe the warning remains valid, I will accept it and move forward to prevent further disruptions to the wiki.
- (Response to issuer's question due to a miscommunication regarding the edit in question) I had the opportunity to speak with someone who had the chance to experience the Switch 2 at the Switch 2 event. When I asked about Mario Kart World, this individual referred to some of the alternate characters as “Baby Mario Work Crew, Baby Peach Sailor, etc.” This response was prompted by my question about the character alternate versions that were available in the demo for Mario Kart World. Since this individual had firsthand access to the game, I presumed that these character alternate versions were official. However, I am uncertain whether they were simply guessing the names or if they had directly observed them.

- I didn't realise you were basing the edit off of the gallery page, and I can see how it can be misinterpreted as being the "official" names. However, the warning was not only for that edit, but also another before it (which also followed my previous message(s) regarding the costume names). As it happened twice since then, I issued a warning per the warning policy, specifically for false information. Can you explain the first edit?
