| :If you're referring to the articles you just edited, usually it takes a while for them to be delisted from the category (They're gone now).

| == Syntax highlighter ==
| |
|
| |
| Just found this page, so I was hoping one of y'all could help me. Recently, the syntax highlighter changed - I actually thought it was ''removed'', but I guess the change knocked it out of my preferences so I had to re-enable it. Even when I did, though, it was different. The old one bolded, italicized, and colored the text based on format: turning bold and italicized text the proper colors, turning links blue, turning reference tags green and templates purple, et cetera; as opposed to this new one, which highlights the text in various colors. (I think the old one did that too, but only when you had a template inside a template, or similar situations.) In any case, while I am happy I've finally managed to turn on some kind of syntax highlighting, I think the old system worked better for me. I admit there was room for improvement with how it handles images, but I like how it distinguishes the start and end of references and templates from the rest of them, and how with potholes (I think we call them "piped links" 'round here?), it distinguishes the page it's linking to from the text of the link. Is there some way to get that syntax highlighter back? I wouldn't mind installing a Firefox plugin if that's what it takes.

| I was wondering if anyone here has downloaded the video [https://lostmediawiki.com/Super_Mario_64_big_star_secret_(partially_found_YouTube_screamer_video;_2007-2012) Super Mario 64 Big Star Secret] since it's now lost media and I thought this would be my best chance at finding it. If you have it, reuploading it somewhere would be super awesome. (Also sorry if this isn't the kind of question to be asked here; this is the best place I could find on here to ask it.)

| |
| :To nominate a featured article, go to the article you wish to nominate and input the Featured Article template
| |
| <code><nowiki>{{FASTAT}}</nowiki></code> at the very top of the article. Next, go to [[MarioWiki:Featured articles]] and go to the "How to nominate" section. At the bottom of the section you will see a box you can type into. Most of it is already filled in, so you only have to type the name of the article you wish to feature there (for example, if you want to nominate [[Mario]], the box should read MarioWiki:Featured articles/N/Mario). Then, you must fill in the article to get the correct information. The <code><nowiki>{{substPAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> template should be the name of the article you wish to nominate. In the template, |nominated should have the correct time that you nominate it (it should go Hour and minute, month, day, year. For example: 16:55 January 1, 2024). Under the "Support" section, input your username there in a template with a hashtag in front of it (for example, <code><nowiki>#{{User|(Username)}}</nowiki></code>). Give out your reasons as to why the article should be featured. Other users can support or oppose your nomination.

| == Wordfilter problems for Peach Showtime, leading to Error Code Plessie ==
| |
|
| |
| So, I reached autoconfirm status yesterday (5 March 2024), but when I was working on [[A Parade on Ice]], I noticed something strange. I simply could not add any mentions of the name of the Ribbo*er no matter what, because apparently the wordfilter thought I was writing "bo*er", leading to "Error code: Plessie" and instantly logs me out too. Meanwhile, it appears a fair few other users could mention his name without workarounds, e.g. https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=A_Parade_on_Ice&type=revision&diff=4178890&oldid=4178880.
| |
|
| |
| So I think that particular Theet's name has to be whitelisted in the wordfilter as soon as feasibly possible; while at the same time I wonder if I must've missed out on some important information, if other autoconfirmed users seem able to mention his name, while I cannot.

| |
|
| |
| I've been hit with the captcha a few times. And I'm faced with the fact that I don't know enough about Mario (I've played maybe 10 of the games listed here in any depth, and mostly ones from last century), so some of the captchas are trivia I just don't know. And when I try to reload the captcha to get a question I can answer, I run into "you're doing that too frequently" error messages soon enough. This raises a few questions:
| |
| * If I don't know enough to answer all the captchas, should I take that as an indicator that I'm not qualified to edit this wiki?
| |
| * I've been to other websites where they did something like "To prove you're a human answer this question. The answer can be found *here*(link)" Does MarioWiki have something like that?
| |
| * What kind of edits require captcha? Does it depend on what level of user I am? Is this already documented somewhere on MarioWiki?
