{{quote|Why, these cozy quarters are where I do my ghost-studying. {{color|orange|Professor E. Gadd's}} Ghost research laboratory! The Lab, if you're of a shortening mind.|Professor E. Gadd|Luigi's Mansion}}
The '''lab''' (originally capitalized) is a recurring location in the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], serving as a base for [[Professor E. Gadd]]. I need to write a better first paragraph.

{{br|toc=1}}
==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion''===
{{LM room infobox
|image=[[File:LM Full Lab Screenshot.png|250px]]
|area=Other
|ghost=''(none)''
}}
{{LM lab map}}

The Lab first appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and in [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. Besides the main room, the Lab also consists of the [[Portrificationizer Chamber]], which houses the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]], the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], where the [[portrait ghost]]s caught are kept, and the [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]].

It is here that [[Professor E. Gadd]] informs [[Luigi]] about the mansion and its ghosts near the beginning of the game, and later provides information on [[Boo]]s. This is also where E. Gadd asks the player where they want to go; to the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Mansion]], the [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]], the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], or, once the game is beaten, the [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]]. In the remake, when E. Gadd asks Luigi for the first time what he wants to do, he receives a call from the future E. Gadd, who presents to him [[Gooigi]], a copy of Luigi that can be used in co-op play.

It is implied that the lab is located underneath a small shed outside the Mansion's property, as there is a ladder leading out of the lab's main room and the professor is seen waving at Luigi while standing near the shed during the cutscene that plays whenever Luigi leaves the lab for the Mansion. 
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, the camera has a different angle to fit with the screen and show the second player.

===''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''===
[[File:LMDM EGadd Luigi.png|thumb|left|250px|The Bunker's interior in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'']]
{{quote|You seem a bit tense, [[Luigi|son]]. Relax! We're perfectly safe here in this impenetrable {{color|orange|Bunker}}.|Professor E. Gadd|Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon}}
The lab in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' is referred to as the '''Bunker''', and serves as [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s shelter after the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s of [[Evershade Valley]] become hostile. The Bunker has a dome-shaped exterior modeled after E. Gadd's head, and its interior features several monitors and an assortment of technological equipment. From the Bunker, E. Gadd uses the [[Pixelator]] to send Luigi to the various mansions of the valley. A platform in the floor takes [[Luigi]] to [[E. Gadd's Vault]], where captured ghosts, money, and [[gem]]s are stored. The Bunker's interior can briefly be seen in the [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|3DS remake]] of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' during the call from the future E. Gadd.

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
[[File:LM3ProfessorEGaddsLab.jpg|thumb|250px|The lab's interior in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'']]
{{quote|Heh Heh Heh! Welcome to my {{color|goldenrod|lab}}! This is another of my brilliant inventions—a portable laboratory! It's sturdy, safe, and air conditioned!|Professor E. Gadd|Luigi's Mansion 3}}
In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', the lab reappears using a similar design to the previous game. However, it is a portable laboratory can be carried in a small size. E. Gadd   sets it up in the [[Garage (Luigi's Mansion 3)|garage]] of [[The Last Resort]] after Luigi rescues him and captures the [[Steward (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Steward]]. While in the lab, Luigi has access to all of the features of the [[Virtual Boo]], such as talking to E. Gadd, changing settings, and viewing a map of the hotel. Additionally, Luigi can view the ghost and gems collected in the gallery, and access the [[ScareScraper]] and [[ScreamPark]].

After obtaining the [[The Great Stage|fourth floor]]'s [[elevator button]] from the [[Mezzanine]] and returning it to the elevator, E. Gadd introduces the Shopping Network, which allows Luigi to buy [[Gold Bone]]s, [[Boo Finder]]s, and [[Gem Finder]]s for 1000G apiece. He also gives the Luigi the ability to warp to the lab from anywhere in the hotel instead of having to travel back to the garage. However, he cannot do this if he is escorting a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] or there are ghosts after him.

At the end of the game, the lab is attacked by [[King Boo]], who uses his crown's power to carry it to the [[Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3)|roof]] of the hotel. He then destroys the lab and traps E. Gadd and all of the Toads in a painting.

==Trivia==
*There is a tall, wooden ladder in the lab that can only be barely seen in-game. Through cheat codes, Luigi is able to actually climb the ladder up to the top through a tall, vertical tunnel, but the ladder does not lead to any in-game areas.

=Name source proposal, a draft?=
===Rethink names sourcing, again===
I am proposing a change to the policy for sourcing subject names across languages, as I disagree with the current one, in place since [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/68#Require citations for names in other languages|this proposal]].

'''The reasoning:'''
* The best way to ensure subject names across languages are correct, like with most kinds of information, is through the vigilance of readers/editors, which can spot incorrect information.
* Citations for names are important because they make it possible/easier to verify whether they are correct.
* Not all names are made easier to verify by adding a simple citation. The current policy requires these to be sourced regardless, as long as the name is from a non-English language. In most cases this is pointless busywork.

'''Point #1: Names that need not be sourced'''
:Names do not need to be sourced if they are found in game, and if their location is self-explanatory. Examples include:
:* Character names from character selection screens and similar UI elements;
:* Enemy names in RPGs where enemies' names appear when targeted, or games with enemy encyclopedias;
:* Item names in games with inventories where item names are displayed;
:* Stage and area names displayed when selecting or entering a stage or area;
:Although a source is not required, one may be added if it aids in verifiability, such a link to a YouTube video or a screenshot.

'''Point #2: Names that should be sourced'''
:Names should be sourced if they is not found in game, or if their location in game is not self-explanatory. Examples include:
:* Names from character dialogue &mdash; should mention which character says the line, and (if applicable) when and where. In addition, editors would be encouraged to directly cite the line of dialogue;
:* Names (A) found within other names (B) (such as enemies mentioned in the names of stages or collectibles) &mdash; should mention and link to the subject whose name (B) is being used as a source. If linking is not possible, and the name (B) being used as a source is a category of name that should be sourced (point #1), it should be sourced in the article for A; <small>(I have worded this in a very confusing way. TODO: try not to.)</small>
:* Names from non-game sources &mdash; same as currently;
:As with point #1, the source may additionally include a YouTube video, screenshot, or other way of directly verifying.

'''Point #3: Names across languages'''
:The same criteria should be used for every language, including English.

'''Point #4: Names across different media'''
:Subjects often have different names in different media (games etc.) A source should thus be provided for the subject's name in each piece of media it appears in, if applicable (according to points #1 and #2).

'''Proposer''': {{User|Blinker}}<br>
'''Deadline''': [insert a deadline here, 14 days after the proposal was created, at 23:59 GMT, in the format: "October 18, 2024, 23:59 GMT"]
