| :::I took a liking to WebP a year or two ago, after I noticed that lossless WebP exported by PaintNET, were still 15~20% smaller filesizes than OptiPNG; and I've also been in beefs with a fair few people on social media who strongly hated WebP for made-up reasons. So I had presumed ''"Okay, surely crops of screenshots can be in WebP?"'', but I give you technically right for using PNG for crops, since Elgato saves the whole-frame screenshots as PNG in the first place, so for those cases I agree to using PNG from now on.

| == Edits ==
| |
|
| |
| A few things regarding your edits,
| |
| *Avoid adding [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Empty sections|sections with nothing in them]] except a stub notice. They should only be started when there's content to add with them.
| |
| *You tend to do this often: a comma doesn't go between a subject and a verb associated with it (some examples from your edits which shouldn't have commas: "'''Completing the level, allows''' Peach to buy the dress", "Stella's '''color, corresponds''' to the ribbon she's wearing", "'''Effects''' [that can play on the rear speakers]''', include''' approaching shells [...]")
| |
| *Don't ''italicise'' names for objects of significance (like the costume names) or use them as substitutes for quotation marks. Italics are reserved for titles for games, series, shows etc. (see [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles]]). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:42, April 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::I admit that №1 and №3 were mostly the result of [[User:DandelionSprout/Ideal Foreign Name tables|a template I designed specifically for PPS pages]]. I've [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User%3ADandelionSprout%2FIdeal_Foreign_Name_tables&type=revision&diff=4187936&oldid=4187232 attempted to implement the requests] now (empty sections like "Gallery" will of course be removed entirely from now on, if nothing can be found for them before a page is created). №2 I had never personally seen any problems with on any site, as the goal had been to make sentences easier to read, but sure. I must also admit that I don't feel particularly welcomed on this wiki, but I also figure "Okay, sure, let's see how long things go well." [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 16:20, April 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :::As a side note, the template cuts down the time needed to create a PPS level page from approx. 70min to approx. 25min, so that template will remain in use, but changes will be applied when needed (which has turned out to be pretty often, I admit, often so after I noticed shortcomings with the template personally). [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 16:29, April 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :::I'm just telling you for your information mistakes that need to be addressed, it's not a criticism or anything of what you're doing. And my second point was not because of readability, it's because it's grammatically incorrect. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:30, April 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::::So, the thing was, I've had the unfortunate tendendy to look at [[Special:RecentChanges]] ("Curiosity killed the cat", I guess. 😓), saw a whole lot of edit notes, and presumed ''"Oh man, do I have a whole lot of things to live up to, to make it big on this wiki."'' However, on advices from e.g. my secretary, I am now instead presuming ''"Okay, if it's not something that is brought up on the usertalk page(s), then it's not a crucuial hasty matter for me to handle."''

| == Amazing job on Princess Peach: Showtime! ==
| |
|
| |
| I agree with Sparks, you're doing a great job at expanding the pages! Please keep contributing; you're doing a fantastic job! Have a great day! -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 22:46, April 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Singular/plural verbs ==
| |
|
| |
| A common mistake I'm noticing is you're using singular verbs for singular subjects. If one person is doing the action, the verb should be plural ("If Peach '''chooses''' to read" and not "If Peach '''choose''' to read"), and vice versa with multiple subjects ("Theets '''dance'''" and not "Theets '''dances'''"). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 11:59, May 15, 2024 (EDT)

| :English is a very complicated language, I admit, and word tenses are even more complicated; I struggled with "is/are" until last year, at which point I was 28, and I still struggle with "crisises/crises" to this day, unfortunately. I'll attempt to follow the verb tense tip, but I personally would call it very advanced material to handle.

|
| |
| == Advice ==
| |
|
| |
| I would very strongly advise against creating any more pages on subjects that are neither explicitly ''Super Mario'', including any subjects without any direct involvement, since the Memory Card page has been deleted, and a few also believe the Microsoft page should be deleted. As a result, there are lots of red links left behind that need to be cleaned up. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 15:13, May 31, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :It wasn't even I who created the Memory Card page, first of all. You're not a moderator, you're not even a patroller, so you have no business demanding me to follow policies on false grounds that I don't think even exist unless otherwise proven. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 15:52, May 31, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :Also, it wasn't even "a few" people who want to delete [[Microsoft]], it's literally just one user besides you. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 15:57, May 31, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::That other user who wants the Microsoft page deleted is a bureaucrat, and an administrator here originally proposed the Memory Card page for deletion (which can now be found at the [[nwiki:Memory card|NintendoWiki]], apparently). I know I'm not a mod. I was giving advice, since the same result could occur if you try to cover something that isn't ''Super Mario'' from its inception. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 16:00, May 31, 2024 (EDT)

|
| |
| == Multiple edits ==
| |
|
| |
| {{preview-reminder}}
| |
|
| |
| You are making too many edits in one time span. Instead of editing per section, please click the "edit" button on the top corner of the page to edit all in one go. I'd also recommend to click the preview button before saving your edits, so that you can see if they are finished and edit some more. {{User:PnnyCrygr/sig}} 23:01, June 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :The way I personally saw the situation, was that I added info as I went along learning new things, which was comparatively often during testing. I'd think ''"Okay, so I'll do one edit to add both the time limits and at least one new language name"'', and then I'd think ''"Wait, did I forget to add some info I had planned to add?"'' or perhaps ''"It seems that microgame's details (e.g. names, time limits) differ strongly between Gold and their previous games"'', so it was not usually a matter of "One section at a time."<br><br>Given that the microgames I researched earlier tonight had appeared in two games each, I also thought ''"I'll research one game at a time and (if needed) add info on one game at a time so I don't forget to add info on either game at all"'', as I was completely unaware of that policy and at least I know about it now.

| |
|
| |
| == Redirect links ==
| |
|
| |
| [[MarioWiki:Redirects#Linking to redirects]] - Links should always link to the exact title of the page, so "<code><nowiki>[[font]]</nowiki></code>" should be "<code><nowiki>[[List of fonts|font]]</nowiki></code>". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:01, June 20, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :Good to know. I've tended to think by default "Redirection pages exist for a reason, I suppose", but your method sounds like it will work better. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 14:20, June 20, 2024 (EDT)

| == Korean logo and DSi menu logo for WarioWare Snapped ==
| |
|
| |
| Can you add the Korean logo and DSi menu logo for WarioWare Snapped? {{unsigned|5.82.57.96}}
| |
| :I suppose I can add [[Template:Image]] to that page, and then we'd see how it'd go in general or not. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 16:58, June 26, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::Alright. Can you add these logos to the gallery as well? {{unsigned|5.82.57.96}}
| |
| :::The Korean logo? Quite possibly yes. The Korean DSi/3DS system menu logo? Not realistically possible, as it'd be too hard for me to find. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 17:29, June 26, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::::If you want the Korean DSi/3DS menu logo. Download Korean WarioWare Snapped ROM from <link redacted>, Then you will notice Jjigeora Meideu In Wario (Korea) (Ko).nds, Then download Jjigeora Meideu In Wario (Korea) (Ko).nds, Then convert it to CIA, If you wanna convert DSiWare titles to CIAs, go to <link redacted>, Then Download the CIA to your 3DS and see what the Korean DSi/3DS menu logo looks like. {{unsigned|5.82.57.96}}
| |
| :::::Can you do the thing in the after-mentioned message? [[Special:Contributions/5.82.57.96]]
| |
| ::::::1) You can't just bump after 20 minutes.<br>2) It's unfair to other users on the wiki to seemingly think that I'm the only person on the wiki who can handle images. I know I'm good at getting photogenic screenshots, but it's still very unfair.<br>3) Linking to pirate sites (For wiki purposes, <name redacted> is a pirate site) is the 2nd-easiest way to get permabanned on any wiki. I appreciate the offer, but even if I had replaced the above link with "<link redacted>", the link will still show up in the page's history. So you're massively doomed.

| == More German names ==
| |
|
| |
| Can you add more German names for Microgames that are missing their German names for Mega Microgames and Gold? [[Special:Contributions|Justgetmycatch]]
| |
| :To some extent yes. I can't guarantee at all that I could add every single missing name, but I'll certainly keep the momentum going. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 01:18, July 4, 2024 (EDT)

| ::Alright then. [[Special:Contributions|Justgetmycatch]]

| :I halfway accept the apology, but I feel I have to add edits in my own pace.

| == Could you upload a horizontal Joy-Con image? ==
| |
|
| |
| [[Template:Button]] doesn’t have one and I figured we could have a catch all template for when you hold a Joycon horizontally instead of using both the left and right Joy-Cons.

| == Sleep Mode ==
| |
|
| |
| {{Delete-reason|Sleep Mode}}
| |
| This is not a wiki about Nintendo consoles and what functions they have; the primary purpose for the console articles we have is for what games are on the system. Splitting off Sleep Mode is the sort of thing that should have had some discussion first, and I don't think it warrants an article due to simply being a common function on modern consoles with little to no relation to the Mario franchise. Any game which does have a unique function with Sleep Mode can just be covered on the game article. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 09:16, August 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :I had made a guess that Sleep Mode had been used for specific purposes in a fair few Super Mario games, most particularly ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' which had unusually many options for it; and relatively famously ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and it's "Bye-Bye!" voice clip. While I acknowledge that I've had some bad luck with other articles I've made in the past, I accept the verdict on the deletion.
