== Lava as a page ==   
Should we make an article on lava? It's in dozens of other pages and is involved in various traps and puzzels in the games.   
<br>- [[User: Yoshi Mastar|Yoshi Master]]   

Hmm...yeah sounds a bit good. But then we should make an article for Water. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''aper '''Jorge'''</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Paper Jorge|Need to tell me something?

I don't think a Water page should be created but a [[Lava]] page is valid.{{User:Knife/sig}}

:Didn't think so. Regardless, a lava article would have to be strenuously extensive and well-researched. A water article would be much shorter in length and more general.[[User:HK-47|H]][[User talk:HK-47|K]][[Special:Contributions/HK-47|-]][[Special:Emailuser/HK-47|4]][[Special:Blockip/HK-47|7]] [[MarioWiki:Donations|<font size= "1">w4z</font>]] [[Special:Random|<font size= "1">h3R3</font>]] [[Special:Version|<font size= "1">a</font>]][[Special:Uncategorizedpages|<font size= "1">t</font>]] 17:35, 15 November 2006 (EST)
::Yeah, lava should have a page. But we'd have to add what lava does in each game and do some research, research! [[User:3dejong|3dejong]]

Such a critical undertaking would  require a very eloquent writing style abound in rhetoric.[[User:HK-47|H]][[User talk:HK-47|K]][[Special:Contributions/HK-47|-]][[Special:Emailuser/HK-47|4]][[Special:Blockip/HK-47|7]] [[MarioWiki:Donations|<font size= "1">w4z</font>]] [[Special:Random|<font size= "1">h3R3</font>]] [[Special:Version|<font size= "1">a</font>]][[Special:Uncategorizedpages|<font size= "1">t</font>]] 17:49, 15 November 2006 (EST)

== Sunshine goop ==
Should we make articles for the differnt kinds of goo in Super Mario Sunshine? Or at least one article for all of them?
<br>- [[User: Yoshi Mastar|Yoshi Master]]

Yes. we should.

Sounds good! [[User:3dejong|3dejong]]

My Bad. Okay so there's the orange and yellow goop on the airstrip and shot from <br>the Rockey Wrench in Noki Bay
<br>the black tar stuff on the Blue Coin shack
<br>the yellow force feilds
<br>the pink transparent goo on Noki Bay's water
<br>the grey transparent goo on Bianco Hill's lake
<br>the rainbow warp portal goo
<br>the green slime in Bowser's bath
<br>the electric goo from the Manta
<br>the red paint from Bowser Jr
<br>the fire goo from the Chomps
<br>Petey Piranha's brown sludge
<br>and Gooper Bloopers ink
<br>Did I miss anything? Do you think the stuff in Mt Corona is really lava? And what's the pages name?
<br>- [[User: Yoshi Mastar|Yoshi Master]]


I think '''Goo''' will be a good title and we'll make redirects from all goo types. You were really helpful. &ndash; [[User Talk:Spike|Spike]][[Image:Spike_sheild_badge.PNG]]

::Goo could still be a redirect, though. Of course, we'll have to refer to it as Goop in the article itself.

[[Image:???goop.jpg|right|frame|?!?]]WHAT, pray tell, is ''this'' goop? I found it on a site and they call it "butterfat". Pic here! [[User:3dejong|3dejong]]

:It's the special, near-indestructible [[Goop]] that only [[Yoshi]]'s juice can destroy. I don't think it has a name. It's just really strong Goop! -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

::What would be a good name? [[User:3dejong|3dejong]]

:::Well, it's already in the Goop article as "yellow force field". There's no much else to say about it. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

== Bad Pics ==
When uploading pics can you make sure they're not stretched out/really bad quality/obviously stolen from The Mushroom Kingdom site? It doesn't take much to fix something, even if you only have MS paint. Lets try to look professional here people.
<br>- [[User:Yoshi Mastar|Yoshi Master]]

== Bonus Games ==
Should we add pages for bonus games, like Stump Petuni and the thwomp quiz from Paper Mario 2? We would also have to add the lives earning thing at the end of each level in SMB2 and SML, the Toad House card games in SMB3, the Wario Land enemy bombing, ect.
<br>- [[User: Yoshi Mastar|Yoshi Master]]

:Those articles are legit, especially if they are named. The Toad House games should probably be listed in the Toad House article, as they are not given specific names (to my knowledge). The others should have conjectural names if they are not associated with a specific place. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

== Just a thought... ==
In SMRPG, with Psychopath, Mallow can read minds, revealing a "thought". The thoughts of an enemy should be added to its page. I have the thoughts for quite a few enemies, so when have the time I may upload a few. Could this be made into a project?

Sweet! When can we start? Sorry about the unsigned comment, I forgot. :-/   
[[User: 3dejong|3dejong]]

==Funny Captions in Images==
I've noticed several images with captions that are "jokes".  For example, the Charlieton article has an image caption that reads, "Needs a shave?"  If such quips were added to the article itself, it would be deleted as vandalism.

So, should these captions be allowed, or reversed to more serious ones?[[User:Waluigi Freak 99|Waluigi Freak 99]] 18:39, 13 October 2006 (EDT)

Yes they should be allowed because the image is the only place to add humor on the Wiki. Although I have no authority over this matter you should ask Steve.-[[User Talk:Spike|Spike]][[Image:Spike_sheild_badge.PNG]]
:{{user|Yoshi Mastar}} has added almost all of those "funny" captions. You may want to ask for his reasons as well, but I think it's a good idea if the only other possible caption is boring. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#606;"><font size="5">'''{{color-link-piped|User:Wayoshi|#3B003B|W}}'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php/Special:Random http://www.mariowiki.com/images/2/24/Wayoshisig.png]</span> 21:25, 13 October 2006 (EDT)

The captions should be serious and give a very brief description of the image. I'm thinking the jokes thing is pretty lame and somehow takes away from our credibility as this hardcore Mario knowledge base. The site should be very similar to Wikipedia in its seriousness. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 22:16, 13 October 2006 (EDT)

I kinda like the little quips, but some, like the first Tweester caption, (how the Tweester  "sucks") went a little too far. We do want to give a good impression, don't we? [[User: 3dejong|3dejong]]

I agree with Steve. The wiki is supposed to be informative and the picture captions should be informative as well. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Yea they should be serious, but don't write ''exactly'' what's in the pic so much that it's redundant. Also we should probably include the game the pics from. 
<br>- [[User: Yoshi Mastar|Yoshi Master]]

:You know these new captions are exactly what's in the pic. We might as well have no captions. [[User:Superchao|Superchao]] 18:53, 14 October 2006 (EDT)

::How so?  In the Super Mario Wiki, when we write our articles and captions, we assume that the reader knows nothing about them.  Someone who's never seen Waluigi before will be curious about who that tall, distorted, purple guy is.  We want serious captions here, not corny jokes.[[User:Waluigi Freak 99|Waluigi Freak 99]] 17:54, 17 October 2006 (EDT)

:::I half-agree. While the captions should be descriptive. They are getting to the point where they are becoming a little redundant, at least in my opinion. Is there no way to acheive a happy medium? [[User: Monty Mole|<span style="font-family:BrushScrD; color:#C0D9D9;"><font size="3"><i>Monty Mole]]</i></font></span> (<span style="font-family:Vrinda">[[User talk:Monty Mole|Talk]]&middot;[[Special: Contributions/Monty Mole|Contribs]]</span>) 21:52, 17 October 2006 (EDT)

::::Remember, just because captions can't be silly doesn't mean they can't be interesting. See the [[Ninji]] image caption for an interesting comment. We can avoid redundancy by pointing out the interesting characteristics of an image. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

:::::Captions should be informative, yet not redundant. A reference to a fact or trivia should be added, not "A crumbling Stone Chomp" or "A face only a mother... wait, nobody could love this face" (from [[Stone Chomp]]. The first quote is too obvious while the second one goes a little too far. I suggest a medium, as Monty Mole suggested, to find a balance between the two. Maybe something like "Just like Gargoyle Statues, they live to protect" or "Also called Rock Chomps". That is the kind of information that should be added. As for stating what game the image is from or an obvious description about the appearance, those are already stated in the article or are found in the file description. If any users don't know what captions to add, then they shouldn't add any at all and other users will write a caption for it. My point is not to make it too obvious, yet write something informative. Oh yes, any speculations about looks should be added too. &ndash; [[User Talk:Spike|Spike]][[Image:Spike_sheild_badge.PNG]]

For example, I tried to make the [[K. Lumsy]] caption interesting as it points out the ironies of his personality and his physical appearance. It's informative but also an interesting observation. This is what we are striving for, right? -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
:Yeah, that works. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 16:11, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

==Fan Games==

I managed to categorize all the [[Brother Bears]] pages about a half-hour ago (I think), they were the only ones on the list (aside from the main page) at the time. -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

Yeah, Jorge, GREAT work on all those pages! Bet you have done the most! And Sir Grodus![[User:3dejong|3DeJong]]

==Banjo and Conker==
I was just wondering, is the Super Mario Wiki now allowing submissions for [[Extended Marioverse]] franchises such as [[Banjo|Banjo-Kazooie]] and [[Conker]]? -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Let's do a ''little'' (ot a LOT) more work on some other things we have to do, like... Super Mario Land 2! Or Wario Ware! [[User:3dejong|3dejong]]
:Just as you said [http://forum.mariowiki.com/viewtopic.php?t=62&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 on the forum], SoS, those series are of '''tertiary''' importance. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 15:36, 30 October 2006 (EST)

::So....are we going to have an official policy on uploading Banjo and Conker articles, or are we just gonna let new articles be created at will? Paper Jorge has been going to work recently.....should we allow his efforts to continue? -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

:::I think it's a good idea, as long as we don't make super-long, ultra-detailed pages, like making a biography for Banjo, adding Camoes for him, etc., etc. But as long as the articles for '''EMC'''s ('''E'''xtended '''M'''arioverse '''C'''haracters) just give a good description (maybe have a link to learn more?) and don't get super super big, I think it's cool! [[User:3dejong|3dejong]]

::::Articles should still be complete though, and if someone wants to write a really long Banjo or Conker article, the more power to them. Thus we need to decide, should we allow Banjo and Conker submissions (that can be completed to the fullest) or should we not (for the time being)? -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

==Mario and Luigi Images==
A lot of the images we have for the Mario and Luigi games are altered sprites from some website. The problem with these images is that they show non-canon information (i.e. [[Hoohooros]] shooting Bowser with a laser beam). I think we should remove these images from our wiki and replace them with our own, canonical pics. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

== Frog Mario comment ==
Sorry for any confusion I caused with that Frog Mario thing. It's been a year or so since I did it, and my memory must have warped it. Anyway, thanks to [[User:Koopa lover|Koopa lover]] for fixing my bad! :) [[User:3dejong|3dejong]]

== Big Eight Article ==

This doesn't have to be done, but I am requesting that a [[Big Eight]] article be created. The article could breifly desrcibe what Big Eight status means, who the Big Eight are, and what games they have appeared in (especially what games they appeared in together). The article would help people un-familiar with the Marioverse understand the fan-created term "Big Eight". -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Done. Still needs more info. thought (the [[Big Eight|article]]). Could someone add more info? If not I'll do it.
