Congrats on 10 Archives!

For reaching this chatty milestone, here is a comically tiny Attacky Sack: Somethingone (talk) 21:55, April 26, 2022 (EDT)

Why thank you! Have you heard about some really distant accordion music? Well here's a visual representation of one: Why, it is as big as the period at the end of this sentence! Hope it gets destroyed by some monchers AND that Attacky Sack. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:04, April 26, 2022 (EDT)

RE:Cowboy Wario has wandered in your talk page!

He managed to find out a new equation after drinking a cup of spoiled milk? Here's his reward and research grant that was definitely not bought from Junk.

Look, he's already made another new equation! + + =

WildWario (talk) 23:58, May 1, 2022 (EDT)

Holy cow, Mushroom Kingdom is moving fast with its technological advancements! What's next, a backpack and a mountain creating a new Mario Kart racer?? He needs another research grant, preferably one that can help him buy a new used microwave oven to help him cook up more equations. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 00:23, May 2, 2022 (EDT)

After buying him too many food and items, he found the most amazing equation of the year that solves Mario's halloween costume issue for the 17th Moo Moo Halloween Tour, allowing him to win the 15th Moo Moo and King Boo's Moo Moo Boo Boo Costume Contest!

( + - 99 + + ) × 2 = WildWario (talk) 00:50, May 2, 2022 (EDT)

Hm, you'd think the axe isn't necessary since Mario's head is already detached from his body. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:55, May 2, 2022 (EDT)

WAHAHA!

Your talk page has been attacked by an even uglier Wario! Tremble before his disgustingly low-resolution texture as he fouls up this page with his ghastly appearance!

Have a rotten day,

Y'know Wario's treasures? Turned into azaleas, kinda like the mess in here.

Don't mess with ol' 'zuka. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 17:58, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Heh

I can't imagine how Wario feels knowing you now have the power to send him to the Shadow Realm with your new powers. Congratulations! -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 17:52, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Well, I'm not quite the decorated janitor yet, as I can't destroy pages and images related to him, but I can give him some inconvenience and misery with some good ol' blocking! Thanks! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:37, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Wario of the Day

For being promoted to patroller, you have earned a very special Golden Wario of the Day. Look at the shine of that beautiful spraypai- err, very real gold!

You deserve it! To commemorate your WAHAHAnderful achievement, here's a absolutely massive Attacky Sack:

How good is it at destroying Wario is my only question. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:33, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Does "flattens people and bites ravenously" sound good enough to you? ;) Somethingone (talk) 21:12, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

I'm not sure if that's as aWAHsome as Bazooka Mario (props for the promotion, by the way!), could it become BFF with Wario who also "flattens people and bites ravenously" (when garlic is around, that is)?--Mister Wu (talk) 22:34, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Darkly's residency status

Thought I'd point out to you that Professor Frankly states before you have to see Darkly "a fellow from Twilight Town lives right here in Rogueport" (probably not the exact quote but along those lines). Nightwicked Bowser 20:11, June 28, 2022 (EDT)

Ah I see. I do think the "immigrant" part is not the best word I'd use, seems too jargony, if that's the right word? Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 01:10, June 30, 2022 (EDT)

Super Mario 3D World page

Hello, I saw that you edited the Worlds section of the Super Mario 3D World article. How come you replaced the images for Koopa Troopa Cave and Chargin' Chuck Blockade? I was already in the process of replacing all of those images with higher quality pictures I took in Bowser's Fury. The reason why the construction template is there is because I'm not done yet. 0blivion 17:46, August 3, 2022 (EDT)

I was going to get around to doing that and felt like I should make use of what I have, so I took emulator screenshots and uploaded those. Didn't realize you were just getting started on replacing these. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the MIME format doesn't match, since I use PNG and iirc those thumbnails were in png before they were replaced with higher resolution ones. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:04, August 3, 2022 (EDT)

I kept my Bowser's Fury screenshots in the .jpg format because I was previously asked not to change them to PNGs. I'd prefer being able to finish uploading my JPG images to the page for consistency's sake. 0blivion 21:44, August 3, 2022 (EDT)

Yeah I saw, and I was going to say to not do that because it'll make reuploading earlier, but that's probably going to conflict with policy, so. Yeah, go ahead. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:15, August 3, 2022 (EDT)

Miyamoto

Its fine to keep Donkey Kong as a series Miyamoto created on his page correct? I'm trying to get through to a user that disagrees with that. Sdman213 (talk) 19:58, August 22, 2022 (EDT)

I think it's okay. We don't list Wario or Yoshi series as Miyamoto's. There can be further discussion on which components of the DK series we should be attributing to Miyamoto, as Donkey Kong Country is quite a different game and a bigger series than the original arcade games, but as a very general statement, there's little problem listing it. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:00, August 22, 2022 (EDT)

Gotcha, thanks!

Sdman213 (talk) 20:03, August 22, 2022 (EDT)

But unlike Pikmin, Star Fox, and Zelda, we don't have a Donkey Kong-centered wiki Mario Manga Reader (talk) 20:05, August 22, 2022 (EDT)

We do cover both Donkey Kong and Mario content due to a good overlap they have with each other but I do think it's worth emphasizing that the DK games did originate from Miyamoto and not necessarily Yoshi (though Miyamoto had heavy involvement in the Yoshi's Island series which are the main installment in the series) or Wario. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:10, August 22, 2022 (EDT)

Bodybuilders HATE him! Find out Wario’s golden secret when it comes to diet and exercise!

The secret is he doesn’t do it at all! Look at that flab jiggle and wave as Wario lifts ten tons of DK branded banana pancakes and eats them all in one sitting! That septuple chin, that large and disgusting belly, and that unmistakeable greasy, smelly mustache is a result of Wario’s Awesome 1 Step Diet and Exercise Plan! Watch as the pounds grow and grow from Wario’s patented* Eat-It-All system! You’ll be the envy of all your friends as you say “pass the mashed potatoes” for the 15th time without any sense of guilt!

Wario extermination squad

Hello. I would like to join. I don't have a userbox, but I would be happy to have one to start my tower. I found some Warios in my yard & I feel like you would like to get rid of them for me. I tried, but their farts were too much. At least I have free energy. Weird. Wario can violate the laws of conservation of energy & matter. I have some Waluigis in my yard as well, if you take those as well as Warios. Thank you in advance.SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 13:56, February 21, 2023 (CST)

Sure. Is... there already a userbox concerning the Wario Extermination Squad? If not, silly me, I should've prepped one years ago! Anyway, the Warios are gone. The promise of free money that just so happens to be in an exhibit of hungry hippos did the trick. As for Waluigi, I'll post updates when THAT spidery menace will be gone, but it shouldn't take long. Thanks for calling up Wario extermination! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:16, February 21, 2023 (EST)

I need to look in the archives. You didn't even see what the Warios are. How did you get rid of them? Plus, I think that broke the multiverse. The Waluigis in my yard aren't gone, though. But anyways, thank you! SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 08:09, February 22, 2023 (CST)

USERBOX UPDATE! I found it in your 8th archive. That took a minute or 2 with the search function. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 08:15, February 22, 2023 (CST)

LATEST UPDATE! The multiverse appears to be more broken. MM54321 characters are messing with my perfectly good grill! SMG4 characters are causing more multiversal warps! I think I see you in the crowd! SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 08:30, March 09, 2023 (CST)

Don't worry, I'm working on the bombs as we speak... hmm Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 11:09, March 9, 2023 (EST)

What bombs? SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 13:38, March 09, 2023 (CST)

DAY LATER UPDATE! Still don't know what bombs you're talking about. Also, I think I see Super Mario Scralaxy, Super Mario Bros. Z, Sonic multiverse, Mega Man multiverse, and Pac Man multiverse characters. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 13:34, March 10, 2023 (CST)

3 DAYS LATER UPDATE! No new information about the bombs received. Stefano is farting on the new Warios. The Waluigis are doing iffy stuff. Movie Sonic is trying to abduct me, but my security won't let him. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 08:17, March 13, 2023 (CST)

Well I found out, it's just garlic bombs. Sure, it tastes delicious in all sorts of soups and whatnot, especially powdered form, but it's REALLY hard to wash off the laundry! I know how it is, I ate raw garlic before and I couldn't get the sensation away from my mouth for several days. Luckily, I've had this experience before. Just wipe yourself with Repel Gel to spare the embarrassment for a few days. And make sure you massage it reallllll good. However side effects include aggressive behavior or other behavior problems, anxiety, concentration problems and change in school performance, crying, depression, false, sense of well-being, the sudden urge to get rich quick, and suspiciousness or distrust of MarioWiki admins. Don't overdose! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:18, March 31, 2023 (EDT)

That got rid of all the Warios & Waluigis. However, I think Movie Sonic just turned... is that Hyper or Ultra? Both? I see the flashing colors of Hyper form & the atom of Ultra form. Oh crap. He saw me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (A few hours later) Ogggg, I feel weird. Wait, this is a weird watch I have on. Wait, why does it say it was made by you? SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 09:56, April 03, 2023 (CST)

I have a feeling this was just an attempt to prevent you from breathing in Wario powder, which sometimes scatters around when Waluigi pokes his elbows in Wario and causes Wario to explode. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:08, April 3, 2023 (EDT)

Whoops! So sorry about that! That was honestly a mistake on my end, I'll try better to be more aware of that.

Super Mario Movie Gallery

Sorry about the mixup. Let me do this properly.

I have started a talk page about the matter of a disagreement with a set of artwork scans that look like they’ve been labelled “McDonalds Happy Meal scans”, which look nothing like happy meal toys if you ask me. I hope this twitter link solves the dispute of the matter. Maybe an administrator can look into this. I never like to mislead people into thinking something like an image scan is objective to the contrary. {{subst:nosubst|User:Marino13/sig}} 11:25, March 9, 2023 (EST)

RE: General information for wario ware characters

Hello. Last two months when I was an anonymous, I actually put a "physical appearance" section in Dr. Crygor in the same way that you did with Mona last June 2014. Can you please add some "general information" sections for all of the Warioware characters? Would appreciate it.

P.S. The physical appearance section located in Dr. Crygor article needs to be analyzed for some inconsistensies.  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  00:25, March 12, 2023 (EST)

Sorry, I don't think I can fit time to commit to that. Thanks for asking, though. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 01:24, March 12, 2023 (EST)

Crygor's lab

I expanded crygor's lab article. Can you please expound on its appearances, please? Also it's missing WWDIY navtemplate.

p.s. Like what you did on Dr. Crygor and Mona articles  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  20:18, April 1, 2023 (EDT)

Free Warios.

This Wario is for compensation for the Wario Balloon you 'gave' me that Hyper Ultra Movie Sonic destroyed.

He's sad that his balloon is destroyed. Also, the balloon was filled with video games. I saw it for a brief amount of time before I blacked out from being kidnapped. The video games are somehow with me.

This Wario is for Waluigi Time (talk), because you sent a Wario to him.

He got his riches back and then some. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 10:07, April 03, 2023 (CST)

I forwarded that thing but it turns out I can't delete it and I may have accidentally faxed the thing twice. Now he has TWICE the money and twice the coins he'll have to pay me once he lands on a Battle Space) Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:36, April 3, 2023 (EDT)

Congratulations!

Congratulations for the promotion! I mean, of course this being a wiki named after you it was overdue, but you went the extra mile and fully deserved it ;-)—06:33, April 6, 2023 (EDT)

Talk:Megan Rose Ruiz

The artist's personal fan art isn't an issue, as it's still up on their Twitter and wiki policy states such material is acceptable here. I request the restoration of those 3 images not connected to the Mario movie's production. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 21:35, April 7, 2023 (EDT)

It's been done. I was worried the personal art too would run afoul, but they seem to still be up. However if they were taken down for similar reasons, I still must delete them even if technically they adhere to wiki policy. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:41, April 7, 2023 (EDT)

RE:Article dispute

Done, and hey, this discussion sort of ties into how the wiki covers multi-franchise material (hence my parallel about Smash, an on-going debate), so you might be interested in pitching in too :) -- KOOPA CON CARNE 11:34, May 20, 2023 (EDT)

History of Mario looks good

At first I was confused, but I'm seeing your hard work on the page, and now I think it looks awesome. Also wanted to give my thanks for talking through some things on the wiki that i was unsure of, like the History of Mario, or like bringing up talk page discussion on Red Coin when there was potential editor conflict and adding upon an idea inspired by mine. CoolNintendo (talk) 14:44, May 21, 2023 (EDT)

No problem. And thank you for participating in some wiki discussions, hope you enjoy editing MarioWiki! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:47, May 21, 2023 (EDT)

Sandboxes

I saw some other users have sandbox pages. Is it okay for me to have my own too? The Smash Brothers lists set a precedent and inspired me to think about how third-party content lists would look, like for example Sonic, while at the same time not proposing it (at least not so early on) but rather giving users an idea on how the pages would look. But it's a delicate situation because to stay a super wiki (we're past Mario, now we're SUPER Mario), we need a super lot of articles, so making list pages would be for very limited circumstances. It's a complicated matter. CoolNintendo (talk) 14:17, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

Sure, you can have your own sandbox page. It's a good space to use if you plan on making consecutive edits to a big page, especially when you plan on making major contributions to it later and don't feel it's ready for other users to edit yet. User sandbox pages are also great places to test templates too. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 17:13, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

I know you can access other redirect pages by typing the redirect in the search bar and clicking on the link shown at the top of the page you were redirected to but for the subpage redirects (e.g. < User:Pizza Master), I can't access them by using the search bar. Is there a way for me to access the redirect page for a subpage redirect?-- Pizza Master 22:24, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

Perhaps you can use Special:WhatLinksHere? You can find the "what links here" under the tools tab on the left sidebar too. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 23:04, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

I'm not finding it that way either. Should I ask Steve if it's possible to access the subpage redirects?-- Pizza Master 23:20, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

Just wondering, but what redirects have you created? What pages? I checked your logs,[1] checked your page creation log and checked the redirect logs and the move logs (moves tend to create redirects), but I'm not finding any results. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 23:24, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

I meant like the small link at the top of the sandbox page that automatically is made upon creation of a user subpage that redirects to the userpage. Would I be unable to remove that?-- Pizza Master 01:35, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

Oh yeah, that's just a feature of subpages. The link is probably just a way to show the parent page so you can easily get back to it. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 01:38, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

Ok. Thank you for confirming that for me.-- Pizza Master 01:45, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

RE: Do not converse with trolls

Does answering "no" to a question that for all I know was some twisted measure of legitimate (and either way, is denying an accusation) and putting song lyrics in descriptions because I'm bored and simply reverting really count as such? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:50, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Yes. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:25, August 13, 2023 (EDT)

Not an official plush?

What do you mean Not an official plush? It looks like Pauline! Doesn't it? I don't want to argue with you. SMBros (talk · edits)

It's not a licensed toy. The vendor in the source listed [2] shows multiple unlicensed products,[3] (for instance, not only the mold quality and paint job in this product are subpar, but the Mario with a firefighter hat does not refer to any existing game; it's a nonexistent variation of Mario) or they show recognizable knockoffs of existing products. If you find a Pauline plush online, make sure you note what the brand it's selling under and check the brand's site. If there is no brand, it may be a knockoff. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 00:01, September 2, 2023 (EDT)

Assistance Needed

Hey there

So Mushroom Head (talk) brought to my attention that I'm somehow violating Userspace Policy, but I'm not entirely sure how I'm doing that. I don't think they're online at the moment and I'd like to get to the bottom of this problem asap (as I dislike letting these things lasting) so would you be able to help me out? Tails777 Talk to me!

Yeah, I have work atm. What subpages do you have? Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 11:07, September 7, 2023 (EDT)

No problem. I have my talk page, obviously, my signature page, a status page and two work pages; one for general work and one for my Tour alternate list pages. Something about blocking access on mobile, which is weird cause any links I have leading to my talk page leads right to my talk page and not to any of the archives I have set up. Tails777 Talk to me!

I reviewed the userspace policy and I'm not seeing violations. You can have multiple subpages as long as they're relevant to MarioWikis goals. You have sandbox pages and it would be counterproductive if the rules block you from doing this (and so that rule shouldn't have been there if it was an existing one). I myself have a draft and a signature page, and there are likely users who made multiple subpages on their userspace to test templates and whatnot. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 11:13, September 7, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks. I also went over everything and I don't think I'm violating anything. The only thing I thought of was when I moved my talk page content to my third archive and I'm not sure if something went wrong there, but as far as I'm concerned, nothing did. Talk page links lead to my normal talk page and I'm certain my archive pages aren't an issue either. In any case, thanks for the help! Tails777 Talk to me!

"The Last Spark Hunter" Feature nomination past deadline

Back in July I nominated The Last Spark Hunter to become a Featured Article. It has been over a week since the deadline passed with no changes happening since. Do you know what happens now? Because I don't. Sorry I'm asking you about this; I don't know who to tell this to, plus you left comments on the Feature Page, and you're currently active on the Mario Wiki. Sparks (talk) September 9, 2023 8:32 PM (EST)

Oh I remember now. I was going to relay to other users on Discord on helping deal with this, since I do have a schedule and can't immediately commit time to it. Technically the nomination is considered to have failed and you have to renominate it, but on the other hand, it does not seem fair to just cancel it for a lack of edits and whatnot and just wait a month again and then renominate with minimal changes (since there's no serious complaint on the thing). I'm going to probably bring up discussion on how to proceed. The rule was defintely intended to prevent stalemates, but probably wasn't meant to cover just slower activity in the nomination page (years ago, when the rule was added, it was more normal to see like 20+ votes on these nominations and plenty of comments; the Luigi nomination for instance had 50+ votes and was basically stalemated). Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:53, September 9, 2023 (EDT)

Okay. Thanks for clearing things up. Sparks (talk) September 9, 2023 8:57 PM (EST)

Pages

Hi, I'm just removing some info on a few pages because it was not only too technical for the reader base here but also because a lot didn't have to do with Super Mario. I just hope you didn't think I was vandalizing. Super Game Gear (talk) 14:08, October 15, 2023 (EDT)

I don't think it's vandalism at all, since you did explain your edits in the edit summary. Usually, if people are going to revert edits like yours, our wiki strongly recommends everyone should assume good faith and explain why they undid it. If you ever have your edits disputed, do explain your edits in the associated talk pages of the articles you're editing. I haven't seen any edit disputes yet, but I do encourage you to make edits you believe are improvements, even major ones, and don't worry about feeling like you're vandalizing, because you're not. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:14, October 15, 2023 (EDT)

Also, to me when they talk about Super Mario games starring different protagonists as like Wario or Yoshi games, it feels like it complicates matters, so that's why I said Super Mario game gallery if that's okay. Super Game Gear (talk) 14:20, October 15, 2023 (EDT)

I redid the Nintendo Monopoly page. The previous revision had these awful-looking tables, and I felt that it had to go. I don't think it's a set rule yet but the List of SSB fighter page names are so long and hard to remember that instead of deciding to adjust Samus's link to that page, I instead linked it to Metroid wiki. I just want to make sure I wasn't breaking a rule there either. Super Game Gear (talk) 15:52, October 15, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, a lot of these tables are done suboptimally on the wiki. The current table in that page isn't also ideal. I'm not fond of colspan and rowspan in the middle of tables most of the time. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:02, October 15, 2023 (EDT)

Okay so I'm still reworking some of the pages. I noticed the Virtual Boy one had considerably more information about the console (including prototypes) over the Super Mario games for it. May I ask, what's your opinion on small sections in articles? There's small sections of Super Mario appearances of Virtual Boy that have only one or two sentences and it's kind of visually annoying when theres subsections with too little sentences or information. Like I'm not discouraging the use of paragraphs but I don't like to see headers packed so closely together, although I don't think there's any hard rule on it. Super Game Gear (talk) 15:06, October 16, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, it might be a better idea to summarize the sections. If the Virtual Boy appears in three Wario games, for instance, make a paragraph detailing the appearance rather than three one-sentence sections, kind of like how History of Mario deals with the WarioWare cameos in a paragraph rather than broken into sections. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:30, October 16, 2023 (EDT)

Tables

Some articles are still over the size limit as outlined in MarioWiki:Article size (I believe that's why the Mario, Yoshi, Wario articles got split)? For example, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. In its Objects section i was inspired by the Famicom Grand Prix article to try and sort the stuff by columns but the only problem is that it not only add more bytes to the page size but also that it takes longer to do all those table conversions. the edit was kind of experimental but i think it was bothersome moving my eyes between squished rows, probably for the same reason as reading between sections that are too big. what would be a good solution? Super Game Gear (talk) 11:49, October 17, 2023 (EDT)

If we need to shorten the page, I think the easiest candidates are those enemy and enemy tables. As for the nested tables, I don't recommend using those if a table closer to a list suffices. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:36, October 17, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, it's because of the bestiary pages, correct? Nested tables do seem redundant, but I was going for the approach of organizing the information by columns like I've seen in some of the other game articles like Famicom GP. This makes me wonder if some sort of precedent can be set. Super Game Gear (talk) 18:42, October 17, 2023 (EDT)

Wondering

Hey, so as someone who'll be checking out the game later than sooner, quick question: what are Shovas and Gnawsher's internal names? They might just be romanizations, but if they're earlier names, that may help determine if they were meant to be somewhere within the Bros./Chomps.
Unrelated: something I've noticed is that some categories tend to "double-up". Like, for example, Category:Sonic the Hedgehog series is a subcategory of Category:Third-party characters. That almost makes sense, except not everything in the former is a character, and the ones that are already have the latter listed. So wouldn't it just make sense to remove the subcategory? LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:23, October 18, 2023 (EDT)

Shova's internal name is "Osukun" at least from the model archive file, and I found that the Gnawsher creature is "Taberukun", probably reference to 食べる (verb of eat). Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:39, October 18, 2023 (EDT)

As for categories, Sonic should be categorized only as "Category:Sonic the Hedgehog series", so yeah remove the instance of Category:Third-party characters. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:41, October 18, 2023 (EDT)

"These are for you, my friend." Btw, feel free to send as many Yoshies as you want in my talk page (i don't have any limit) -- FanOfYoshi 11:44, October 25, 2023 (EDT)

Well I one time DID send some Yoshi pics to Waluigi Time a while back... so this is just the same idea. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:41, October 30, 2023 (EDT)

Super Smash Bros.

As is known here, Super Smash Bros. is a gray area, and there's still remaining Smash Bros. coverage on some of the remaining non-Super Mario characters that have appeared in some Super Mario games. If you check the Knuckles article, you'll see that I've reorganized the Super Smash Bros. series (revision) so that it links to the SmashWiki page and organizes him by role rather than game-specific appearances, but this one was easier to do because Knuckles is not a playable fighter in the game. I still have my reserved doubts about whether the content should be there to begin with, but hopefully this helps the SmashWiki page stand out more. Super Game Gear (talk) 10:13, October 28, 2023 (EDT)

It might take a proposal to reorganize these pages, but I do probably recommend down the line that we prioritize Mario & Sonic and other information from more Mario-involved crossovers over Super Smash Bros. (which probably means we eventually do away with the trophies and spirits that do take undue prominence in many of these pages) Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:43, October 30, 2023 (EDT)

Caresaway Island's Gone

I just wanted some Help. User:SMBros

You should start your page on your user sandbox. This way, you can make experimental edits, take your time learning how to edit the wiki, and get pointers on what you need to do, and this is without risking your page getting deleted for being small stubs. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:45, October 30, 2023 (EDT)

Sections

I wanted to ask something else. Is there any rule about condensing sections? I'll go over a bit of my experiences and questions below:

If you check the history of the Lava page, me another editor briefly talked back and forth in the summaries about how the article would be best presented. But then I think your History of Mario article (the WarioWare section) showed everything under one section (something you pointed out to me in an earlier section). What I will say is that I definitely don't like when I see sections where two following ones just say like "has the same role in the first game" as it feels redundant to say it twice (like if something in Yoshi's Island games are the same in all three games). As for the Lava article, I don't really know what Nintendo officially considers Yoshi or Wario games, or rather Super Mario games that have them as the mascot, which would mean something else, so I wanted to for the safe route.

However, when editing the Gooble article, someone said it works better without a history section because it's only one appearance and a mention. Plungelos are similar in this regard, so I felt that I'd match it with the Gooble article.

Lemguins only have two game appearances. If you check the article's history, originally I got rid of the History section, but then I added it back because I was uncertain how some of the other editors would feel, though it is true that not everyone agrees on everything while editing. However, the Lemguin article does need manga information, so I'd think two game appearances and manga appearance would definitely mean a History section is needed. Screen size is relative, but if all the information can be read on a single screen without having to scroll (as on the Lemguin article), having a History section seems unnecessary. Super Game Gear (talk) 12:39, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

No, there's no hard and fast rule. If you think information is organized better through a section merge, then go for it.

I merged pretty much Mario's Mario Party appearances due to repetitive information and plot details not really concerning Mario directly. The same goes for the WarioWare section because one paragraph is better organized than tons of one-liners of minor cameos This also used to be the case for Mario's Mario Kart appearances until I split it again to focus more on Mario-related content of the games rather than Mario's indivudual role. Individual discretion allowed here, and if someone disagrees with how an article is organized, they'll probably adjust it to how they see it and if you don't like it, discuss with them. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 13:50, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, it's the one-liner sentence sections that bother me, and there's still not an easy solution in circumstances where there's two one- or two-liner sub-sections between larger sub-sections with more paragraphs because of that thing having larger contribution to the game's plot. I stated in a lava edit summary that i tried the tabber template to avoid 5 equal-sign headings. However, it didn't work out as I had hoped, and I realize it was specifically intended for use in infoboxes, not article text, which would've definitely gotten out of hand if that were allowed. Super Game Gear (talk) 14:17, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

The issue is probably the sections of "Wario franchise" and "Donkey Kong franchise" and whatnot. We may have to just simply merge with the Mario stuff so we have an extra header to spare. After all, we don't have Wario franchise subheaders in Mario's history. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:00, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

I hear the Yoshi platforming games are more complicated because the Yoshi's Island-branded games are very similar to the standard Yoshi platforming games. Super Game Gear (talk) 15:11, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

It's probably better to just sort like we do with the major character history pages, have Super Mario series, then Wario Land, then Mario Party, then WarioWare, etc rather than try to delineate between the umbrella series. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:13, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

What about Yoshi's Woolly World and Yoshi's Crafted World? Those unfortunately don't have their own Yoshi's World series, despite a shared similarity in the titles. Super Game Gear (talk) 15:15, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

Depends on the headers remaining. Either they get their own section (which would look disjoint, I get it) or they're grouped under the Yoshi series if you can squeeze all Yoshi games under there comfortably. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:16, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

I cannot think of any examples at the moment, but it would probably look the most disjoint if there's a large article on something with like 75+ appearances and then there's three equal-sign headings of Yoshi (puzzle game), Yoshi's Cookie, Tetris Attack, Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Yoshi's Crafted World, each having their own sections. Super Game Gear (talk) 15:23, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

Model Renders

Hello! I was looking through the SMBWonder enemies and I just wanna say the renders you made for some of the enemies are REALLY convincing. I got fooled into thinking they were official every time I saw them, that's how good they are.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I saw them in some random youtuber's video. ~ MawioMawiolol | ( talk ) 14:50, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

That's what more than few people are saying about my renders. It's a slow work in progress but I hope to rendering as many as I can. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:49, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

I was gonna post about the same subject, but since someone already praised you for it, imma just do it here. I really like the work you put into them. (also side question: This wiki now allows fan-renders?) -- FanOfYoshi 13:51, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks! I'm not sure what the extent of fan renders are, but my reasoning was, we already allow t-posed renders, which are already technically fan renders to begin with (just with basic camera work and lighting). But I applied an official animation file to give it a more natural pose (so there's no often-stilted fan posing that usually gives it away) and whatnot and my involvement in the work is mostly camera angling and lighting. I also applied a subdivision to the model but the effect is minor, it just smooths out the shape slightly. I don't think we should be rendering out custom poses but if you can find a model, apply an official animation to it, get a decent angle, get some good lighting, I think it's fine and it's better than a t-posed model, since an animated model tells you more about the subject than a bind pose one.

Here are some renders by me by the way

Game & Watch

Is it okay if we cut down the Game & Watch content to just the Game & Watch Gallery pages and Super Mario appearances? Super Game Gear (talk) 16:48, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

I believe we have a proposal that dealt with this.[4] Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:49, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, I think the consensus was that only the Super Mario aspects get covered? Super Game Gear (talk) 16:51, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

I believe so! Just review the proposal before you proceed, but don't be afraid to enact changes! We'll correct it later down the line if there are any mistakes. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 17:13, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

Level pages

So I realized that some of the level pages have an excessive number of tables. If you'd like to take a look, I redid the Jungle Hijinxs page, and took inspiration from the Smiley Flower locations on some of the Yoshi's New Island pages. Super Game Gear (talk) 17:19, November 6, 2023 (EST)

MediaWiki galleries are desiged to suit images and need to be flexible to various screen widths, which means they could stretch over long horizontal distances on wider screens. Captions are supposed to complement these images, but don't quite form the focus of a gallery; textual information should otherwise be uniformly conveyed and organized in a vertically-flowing manner, and that's best done through any other MediaWiki function designed around that need, such as a table. I fail to see how the tables on that page are excessive; the same thing can be said about the gallery format, which additionally does a less-than-ideal job at handling relatively great amounts of text. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 17:44, November 6, 2023 (EST)

IMO tables are better suited for great amount of information that galleries would compress. However, the table isn't best suited for simpler lists. Rule of thumb: if a list or gallery is sufficient to convey information, it's preferred over a table. Advantages include much more straightforward code to construct the information, and the information is easier to edit.. A gallery is much better suited for enemy counts, item counts, and KONG letters since the information is relatively straightforward. The final part of the page should probably be converted to prose; the bonus levels section has no reason to be in a gallery when prose with an accompanying screenshot and separating <br clear=all> appear sufficient. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 17:54, November 6, 2023 (EST)

Would it be okay to restore the older revision, but with the Bonus Levels made into prose? Super Game Gear (talk) 17:58, November 6, 2023 (EST)

We will need to come to an agreement with Koopa con Carne or get a consensus from editors. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 12:22, November 11, 2023 (EST)

I decided to try something on the Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest) article, seeing as it's featured, where I converted the enemies, items, and objects (which I separated from items) into a gallery, but as I clarified in the summary, I left the tables with descriptions, like Bonus Area, because I think that's where the disagreement occurred. The items are all together, whether KONG, required, or regular items, because they had previously been scattered. "Secrets," which had previously been the heading, is too subjective of a term. Super Game Gear (talk) 12:33, November 24, 2023 (EST)

Yeah, the galleries look better. The tables should be turned into a paragraph or a list, and the accompanying images be part of another gallery. The key items, including KONG letters, should be a list. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:58, November 24, 2023 (EST)

Okay, I updated it. Did I do it correctly? Super Game Gear (talk) 15:12, November 24, 2023 (EST)

This seems like the way to go. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:15, November 24, 2023 (EST)

I didn't reply because I'm mostly in agreement with LGM on this, though I still prefer the table approach with text-heavy content, like Bonus Area and DK Coin information, albeit only when there are screenshots to accompany each entry. In Bramble Scramble's case, not all such content (i.e. the KONG letters) has accompanying screenshots, so the way Game Gear handled that page is the best it can be for the time being. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 14:36, November 29, 2023 (EST)

Daisy Images

continued from User_talk:TimonLeslieBerkowitz#Daisy_pngs

I got the images from a twitter thread that pointed out pretty plainly that they were cropped from the same video sourced when I uplaoded them. I don't personally see any alterations outside of the fact they were cropped out of the background of the video. I didn't do the original cropping or editing, but I'm aware the MarioWiki is filled with artwork not available in its original quality that has taken the same steps to make it more presentable. I think whatever changes were made must've been to accomadte for the fact it isn't in an original quality. Whatever alterations are present seem to me to have been done in an effort to provide it in a form more accurate to the original intention. It was also properly tagged with needing the original quality still, so anyone looking at it would know it wasn't a full representation of the uncomprimised original which remains unavailable. I think it should be obvious my uploading of these was done in good faith, and I don't even think anyone would've had a problem with this art had someone else uploaded it. I didn't do anything to this art, but I find the things you've pointed out that whoever cropped it must've done were again to present it as it was intended to be seen and shouldn't be getting scrutinized like this. This also has nothing to do with when I uplaoded previous artwork without a source because these were very openly sourced and do not appear to be tampered with in the degree that is being suggested. I won't bother trying to provide the wiki with new content in this regard because I don't care to carry the burden of unjustified scrutiny and I'm sure it would've ended up on here at some point without such ridiculous levels of policing as a ton of the artwork already on here has. TimonLeslieBerkowitz (talk) 16:17, November 22, 2023 (EST)

Twitter/X is not a reliable site to be getting apparent official images due to its high prevalence of misinformation on there, hence why I advise great caution getting any assets from that site that isn't directly from an official account (which can be even more difficult to ascertain because of how easily impersonated accounts are). As I've explained, the image you uploaded is not merely cropped; the colors were changed (her hair is noticeably darker, her shadows are darker, her dress is more saturated; it looks like a histogram change) and there's visible sharpening around the eyes. The scale of the cropped image is also higher scale but still low-resolution. I also noticed a bit a of a squiggle at the hem of the dress which also suggests a paintover. Either way, the image is tampered with, and we recommend to find the original source of the image and get the image from this source rather than any content on Twitter/X besides the official handles. You also need to demonstrate how the Daisy image from the video itself requires the edits prior to uploading. I do not believe there is enough evidence that the coloration in the original video is a mistake. We have dealt with edited Daisy renders for quite some time on this wiki, such as this case (see edit history) where the uploader ALSO edited Daisy's face including but not limited to thinning her jaws (edit; actual render), and we don't want to be a host to these tampered images that are easily mistaken for official art, hence some editors bring up concerns about tampered renders and vector art and whatnot.

History of Wario

I wanted to say some things about the History of Wario article (or any History pages, for that matter). Even though it's split, History of Wario is still over the article size limit (100,000 bytes), as well as History of Mario. For one, I removed the Yoshi's Island DS section, because it's already covered in the background, and I got rid of the Subspace Emissary subheading. What are some other ways to improve the article? Do the history pages need to be split again? Super Game Gear (talk) 09:16, November 25, 2023 (EST)

In the future we will look at other candidates (Super Mario series may need another split in Mario's case) but I want to dust around this to settle first. Also, Wario's page may have too many images so try to figure out which ones you think illustrate the character's history and which one should probably go. Mario^-HOHO!

Item tables

What's your opinion on item tables? I know you said you like to use tables in minimal circumstances as possible, which I agree with. On the Koopa Cruiser article, I converted the items table to list form. Come to think of it, I could maybe readd the sprites, but the specific locations were why I didn't do gallery form like with the Donkey Kong level pages. Super Game Gear (talk) 12:59, November 28, 2023 (EST)

I think a table works fine here but I'd personally design tables in a way to avoid colspans/rowspans in the middle of the table all together IMO. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 01:18, November 29, 2023 (EST)

1-Up DX

Good point made about tabber. I think I only added it because the images were already all in the infobox. I settled for the most recent sprite in the infobox and put the rest in a gallery. Also, how do you feel about the "List of appearances" section? Do you like it more as a bullet list or as a table? Since the 1-Up DX is an item in all of its appearance, a "Role" colum in the table would be redundant, so I settled upon a bullet list. Super Game Gear (talk) 14:09, November 29, 2023 (EST)

We usually put list of appearances in a table but we usually don't use appearance tables for smaller articles and the information will be redundant mostly anyway (as you said). I suppose list works fine. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:02, November 29, 2023 (EST)

I think a List of appearances section would especially benefit cases where a subject has incredibly similar roles throughout the series. For example, the Diamond page, the main role as "collectible items" were consistent in every Wario Land games, and I think it could all fit together (especially if the subsections previously had like only one or two sentences). For the Big Fuzzy page, instead of listing "this thing acts the same as before" in every subsection of the Super Mario series, rather only name it once and list their individual level appearances. The "List of appearances" will fill in the void when the table of contents used to provide the benefit of subsections. I decided not to go for table, but rather clarify Fuzzies as enemies in the New Super Mario Bros. games and as obstacles in the Mario Party games.

Question about a watch.

When I got kidnapped(yes, I got back, the details are on my talk page), I had(and still have as of now) a watch that later I found out was made by you, your previous Mariosonas, Bazooka Mario and LeftyGreenMario, and the main universe version of Mario(the plumber, not you), and it, for some reason, contains "everything". What's the deal with that? SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 17:05, December 1, 2023 (CST)

Everything? It must be just my personal belongings that exist on this wiki. Yes it's all digital so I had to mark it with "everything". Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:20, December 1, 2023 (EST)

Ah, they're roommates. We kind of try to live our lives on a lot and pay the bills every now and then. Bazooka Mario is a veteran, knows his bombs and all by the way.

Congratulations! You've just won a free Splounder! You have 2 choices: Either you keep it as a pet, or use it as an ingredient for your next dinner. What would you do? (Oh, and btw, this was on behalf of Wario, who was casually fishing in Donut Plains) -- FanOfYoshi 01:45, December 2, 2023 (EST)

A fish, of which an I.P (which was me) asked for a source for its name, all those years back.

I would never eat that for dinner! Pet it is. I'd definitely save this FROM Wario, it doesn't know better about WHO fished it up after all. Can it talk? Boy, I hope it talks. And speaking of talking I did respond to you in that talk page it means! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 03:04, December 2, 2023 (EST)

By the way, Wario wasn't the only one to have proposed "dinner" as an option for the helpless fish's fate. Wendy and guest star Usapyon agreed on this too! Thankfully enough, me and my Yoshi clan took care of them. While they mostly took "care" of Wario, i went for Wendy and Usapyon (emphasis on Usapyon) out of pure spite. -- FanOfYoshi 05:33, December 2, 2023 (EST)

Mama mia! How foul. What did you Yoshis do? Hopefully that'll teach them a lesson on eating those Splounders. Especially that nasty bunny! Bad! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 23:44, December 2, 2023 (EST)

Oh, the other Yoshies somehow managed to strap Wario to a tree, and repeatedly beat him with a bat until his grown-ass cried for mommy XD. As for me, i don't wanna mention what i did to Wendy, but i'll say, i was incensed beyond belief while taking care of Usapyon. Although the "eating the Splounder" part did contribute to it, please read the reasons of my hatred of this bunny on FOR2007's talk page. You probably won't take me seriously, but here. XD -- FanOfYoshi 04:38, December 3, 2023 (EST)

Re: History section splits

Ah, okay. I will stop while the split discussion talk to be resolved. Thank you for the heads up! Derekblue1(talk) 01:14, December 3, 2023 (EST)

To add, I was surprised I did not pay attention to the new policy change that happened while I was splitting histories. That brings up another question, I know now 150kB is a definite split for articles. Take for example, Toad (species), it is 2kB above 150kB, is it still worth splitting an article with a small difference? Derekblue1(talk) 03:22, December 13, 2023 (EST)

Model/render request

Hi there! I'm a big fan of your work here, especially the custom renders you've done! I have a request that I thought might be in your wheelhouse, if you are interested and whenever you might have time, involving Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Being totally unfamiliar with your process for ripping in-game models/renders (really just the process in general), I'm not sure if the tools that you use are applicable for that game or not, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask!

The Rocky Wrenches in MK8D (specifically, the ones that appear in Tour Rome Avanti) have a model that seems to be brand new and, for the first time since NSMBW, actually resembles the original design from Mario 3. They've got the long white claws, the pointy snout, and even the black shell (I'm kind of obsessed if you couldn't tell lol)! The problem is, it's really hard to get all these distinct features across via in-game screenshot, especially because Rome has dark lighting and the RWs are only fully visible for a couple seconds at a time. I thought a clean render of the model would, if nothing else, make for a great addition to the gallery section of Rocky Wrench's page, so that these adjustments from the standard modern design made can be better documented on the wiki! I have... no idea how to access that, but I thought, with your previous work on the wiki, you might be able to get one.

Sincere apologies if this comes off as rude, and feel free to ignore if this isn't something you are interested in working on! Or, if you know of any other wiki members/staff who might be interested in this, please let me know. Thank you for your time :) User:Okapi 04:48, December 4, 2023 (EST)

Hello, thank you for your positive comment, it's very kind of you. Yes, Switch Toolbox, the program used for extracting Super Mario Bros. Wonder files, is more than capable of extracting files from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (for the record I have also extracted model and texture assets from Super Mario Odyssey, New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Super Mario Party, Mario Party Superstars, and Mario Tennis Aces, and Super Mario 3D World: Bowser's Fury. I haven't extracted from Super Rush yet, but it should be able to. Mario & Sonic Tokyo 2020 can also be extracted, but you need decompile scripts for Sonic games to a useable format. I have also used it to extract Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash too (and I'm sure there are others I haven't touched on). Super Smash Bros. Ultimate afaik requires other means of extraction. I'm not sure about the other games like Luigi's Mansion 3 and Battle League, either I haven't tried to extract it or other people have mixed results (for instance Luigi's Mansion 3 has a broken rig afaik and Battle League has gray textures people weren't figuring out what to do with at the time, but this may be old news). Yes, I expect the files for Rocky Wrench are able to be extracted with a rig and with useable textures and an animation. There are detailed guides on how to extract files actually and they just require reading instructions carefully.

My only issue right now is that the models are part of an update which I haven't gotten around to installing on my computer (I generally just find these online these days because it's more convenient than updating files and dumping them onto an SD card) but once I do I'll get back. My other issue is that I need to continue rendering enemy images from Super Mario Bros. Wonder; I've done a pause on it due to people bringing up questions on the legitimacy on having these images on the wiki (they can be easily mistaken for official art) and I believe we since have a green light on them. If I take too long on the files you can also try to see if Rodmjorgeh (talk), who rendered a lovely Torpedo Ted (image), is active and message them on this matter.

Thank you, and take care! 💖 Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:22, December 4, 2023 (EST)

Hello!

Hi! Just dropping by to say thanks for being so friendly to me. I very much appreciate it. And also, may I be your friend, or is it too early for that? We've had a few interactions and we both feel the same way about Wario, so I thought I'd give it a shot. If you want to be friends, I give you permission to copy my userbox code (posted on my userpage). Either way, thank you so much!

Also, here's a couple pictures for you (no Warios, I promise):

1: Happy holidays from Rosalina!

2: Thank you!!

I hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 13:16, December 9, 2023 (EST)

Thank you for your kind message. Sure you can be a friend of "Mario" or something. You'll have some more Wario agony pictures coming too! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:12, December 11, 2023 (EST)

Okay, thanks so much! I give you permission to copy my userbox code and paste it into your userbox (if you want to, that is). The code can be found on my userpage. I look forward to more Wario agony pictures. Have a great day! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 09:20, December 12, 2023 (EST)

Do you have a friend userbox? I forgot to ask you that earlier. If you do, could you provide me with its code so that I may post it in my userbox tower? By the way, I destroyed Wario recently in a Ballon Battle in MK8 Deluxe; he got 11th place (he was tied with Waluigi. They make a lovely couple, don't they?). Just wanted to keep you posted on my Wario-destroying escapades. Thank you for your time! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 15:02, December 17, 2023 (EST)

I used to have one but I think I don't really distribute these as much. I'll cook one up and I'll get back. It was really funny you killed Wario in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Did you take advantage of his spawn points and predict when his invincibility frames will expire? Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:17, December 17, 2023 (EST)

Yeah, a couple times. He somehow got 3 points in the last battle despite my best efforts, but I can't be perfect. Please share that userbox code with me whenever it's convenient. Thanks! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 22:35, December 18, 2023 (EST)

Something that might interest you...

I stumbled upon this while scrolling through my Youtube home page recommandations, hope you like it! (unrelated, go check how the "Yoshi's present" thing got resolved!) -- FanOfYoshi 09:54, December 10, 2023 (EST)

Wario saw the List of Mario Party: The Top 100 minigames page didn't he? Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:55, December 14, 2023 (EST)

Question about history splits

I know now 150kB is a definite split for articles. Take for example, Toad (species), it is 2kB above 150kB, is it still worth splitting an article with a small difference? Derekblue1(talk) 07:01, December 13, 2023 (EST)

I recommend not relying too much on simple quantity of the article and instead figuring out if the current page is so big it's impacting usability the way Mario and Bowser's pages were. Try to cut down the article first, such as reducing the amount of images, and try to see if the resulting split page is substantial (Mario's and Bowser's were, it might not be the case for Toad (species). Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:54, December 14, 2023 (EST)

Additions to the non-Super Mario content BJAODN page

Currently, you've been doing some work on the BJAODN pages. Since you're an administrator, I'd like for you to retrieve two deleted pages for the Non-Super Mario content page: SIRI to get the full description rather than just what's shown in the deletion log, and Puffy the Puffball, if it's funny enough. Thank you. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 22:21, December 14, 2023 (EST)

I added it! Well, I made some minor hiccups here and there, so bear with me! The only criteria is really just "a user found it funny", so I added it. Feel free to comment on them. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:31, December 14, 2023 (EST)

Thank you! And no problem — it was easy enough for me to move them to Non-Super Mario content. Are you able to restore the images on Puffy the Puffball, as well? SolemnStormcloud (talk) 22:36, December 14, 2023 (EST)

VB question

I was issued a reminder on my talk page for removing a section on the Virtual Boy article largely unrelated to Super Mario (the production section) and was told that not having it would be "unprofessional." I realize the graphics and commercial failure has some connection to Super Mario, but for detailed technical history on Virtual Boy, I'd more expect to read about it on Wikipedia or NintendoWiki. What's your opinion on having the section? Super Game Gear (talk) 18:29, December 15, 2023 (EST)

I'm not sure if a reminder was apt but when it doubt, do bring up major changes you're willing to make on the article talk page. Here[5] should've been the cue to take it to either the talk page of the article or with the user that's disputing your edits. The content you're removing wasn't too off-topicy by being excessively detailed IMO so it's fine if it stays. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:27, December 15, 2023 (EST)

Mario Party gone wrong

Remember the time i gave you a free Splounder? Well, this isn't the first time where the Yoshi clan had to reason with Wario. I can't help but recount the instance where he mentioned a specific November challenge in front of a younger Yoshi: CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF!The older Yoshi was clearly not having it, but Wario reacted with his usual dismissive attitude. Hell, we had to tell the young Yoshi that it was "a game where you can't eat peanuts during a whole month" to salvage the situation... After the game ended, the Yoshi clan had a "friendly" conversation with Wario about the situation. -- FanOfYoshi 11:52, December 29, 2023 (EST)

I had no idea Wario also knew what "No Nut November" was. Or any Mario character for that matter. I don't think such a concept would exist in the universe. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 00:44, January 2, 2024 (EST)

number of images in article sections

Hello, I remember you took away some images in the Goomba article due to an overabundance of them, and it made me think of a precedent. When scrolling down, I feel the Squawks article has a few images too many, so if I spot an overabundance of images, am I allowed to remove them (and relocate to gallery)? I go by the idea of: 1) does the image show or compare any prominent difference than seen earlier? and 2) is it focused on the subject? On Squawks article, the Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle image focuses on three of the Kongs and Squawks, not Squawks solely whilst the Club Nintendo comic illustrates a particular point of him meeting the Kongs. The DKC3 screenshot has a similar purpose as the DKC2 screenshot, just in a different level setting. One could say he's not carrying Diddy and Dixie, but that's also possible in the original DKC2. Then in the DKC Returns section, it shows Squawks' artwork for said game, something that's already done within the infobox, just with a different artwork. Super Game Gear (talk) 14:35, January 2, 2024 (EST)

I don't think the article has an awful ton of images to the point I'd remove some. I would probably change or remove the art of Squawks holding a lantern but only because the infobox leaves little room for it. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:41, January 3, 2024 (EST)

Luigi in the Mario lookalikes category

It was pretty much agreed upon in my proposal that Luigi, Wario and Waluigi shouldn't include the respective lookalikes categories, so I would like to remove it from Luigi's article again. Nightwicked Bowser 06:21, January 3, 2024 (EST)

I'd claim that Luigi would technically qualify in the proposal's provisions,[6] that the categories should concern "[...]solely on subjects that are actual copies or clones of these characters such as Dark Bowser or Dreamy Mario." Luigi started out as a clone, albeit a named clone, but from a gameplay perspective, a clone for multiplayer. I'm reviewing what's currently in Category:Mario lookalikes. He could be in a similar vein as Prince Mushroomkhamen, where both are, for all intents and purposes, a kind of Mario, but were given names to distinguish themselves. Same goes for Giuseppe, who isn't a cloned/copied Mario and doesn't even exactly look like Mario, just a resemblance to Jumpman. The proposal seems currently in effect, but if not I think you either remove some of these different characters that "happen" to look like Mario, limit them to just direct copies and clones such as Shadow Mario, Cosmic Mario, Metal Mario, and Dreamy Mario, or you include Luigi. It's otherwise not entirely clear to me why Giuseppe but not Luigi, but perhaps there's a good reason. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:39, January 3, 2024 (EST)

I do think "second-player palette swap who later diverged into his own character that can't really be considered a lookalike nowadays" and "reference to Mario's original design who talks with Mario's original game voice" are apples and oranges, but if we do exclude Giuseppe, we should exclude Red and Green as well. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 21:59, January 3, 2024 (EST)

I know Luigi in general I wouldn't consider to be a Mario lookalike but in the context of his early appearances, he seems to qualify? If the newer games didn't exist, if Luigi hadn't developed into his own character, if Luigi remained a Green Mario in promotional material, he'd probably be in this category. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 13:51, January 6, 2024 (EST)

That's a good point, but that's not the reality we're living in. If we're counting Luigi as a lookalike based on only some of his appearances, I don't think he should be in the category at all. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:33, January 6, 2024 (EST)

As a wiki, though, we do appear to take past categorization into consideration. It's why Birdo is classified as a "bird" despite no modern media stating so, Mario was categorized as a villain despite his role being in even less games (before the category was deleted) than Luigi clonery (Mario's categorized under "king" and "pirate" too), or why the Rocky Wrench is a, uh, well, a Koopa and a Mole uh, well... and we got into debate over that. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:58, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Ah, guess I was thinking too much from Camwoodstock's opinion and Swallow's recent redefinition of the elemental creature categories... :P I know it sounds ridiculous to have a proposal on whether or not a single article should be included in a single category, but it might be something to consider. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 18:39, January 6, 2024 (EST)

It's okey-dokey. You brought up valid points, which I didn't mind having to think about. I can see your interpretation of it. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:23, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Japanese game covers

I was disappointed that the proposer canceled the proposal about showing more than one game cover in the game infobox templates. I saw someone say they think it could be narrowed to Japanese game cover, which makes sense since Super Mario is a Japanese franchise. I added in Famicom game cover in Super Mario Bros. (without tabber because that conflicts with the proposal) and explained myself in the edit summary. I hadn't seen any opposition to my decision. Was this okay? I was given an informal reminder that I was changing too much, so I hope this wasn't a violation of that. It's hard to know the fine line between what's changing too much and what isn't, but I'm assuming it's applying a change on a multitude of articles in a set. Super Game Gear (talk) 13:00, January 5, 2024 (EST)

No. We have to be selective in the game infobox templates. You don't need to add more. People who want to see alternate game boxes should view the gallery, which is a more appropriate place for all the separate boxes. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 13:01, January 5, 2024 (EST)

Okay, I removed them. Super Game Gear (talk) 13:04, January 5, 2024 (EST)

Your talk page has been invaded by Wario!!

A Wario from Mario Kart Wii has heard of how you keep destroying his buddies, and he has had enough. I tried to stop him, but he got in here anyway. Shoot him with an item before he wreaks too much havoc and destroys your talk page with a Mega Mushroom! Your choice of items are: Blue Shell (recommended, but it might miss), Green Shell, Red Shell, or a Bob-omb. -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 16:13, January 5, 2024 (EST)

I'm gonna have to go with Bob-Omb. I have enough confidence it'll work this time, and besides, I might get to hear Wario go OWAAAAHHH or something stupid. Since this is the Mario Kart Wii Wario, I'll likely hear an angry WAAAAHHHH! Blue Shells only freeze Wario, and that's no fun! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 12:41, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Yoshi to the rescue! This shell is no ordinary red shell, it's actually twice as explosive as a Bob Omb! -- FanOfYoshi 13:59, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Ah, it must be a Black Shell, but Yoshi painted it red to fool the Warios into thinking a simple banana will do the trick. Smart. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 17:13, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Congratulations! You blew this Wario into oblivion! His Mega Mushroom didn't work because of the combined power of the Bob-omb and the disguised Black Shell (and the Wario was too stupid to use his Mega Mushroom after the items hit him). Disaster averted! And as a bonus, Rosalina blew up the entire Wario's Gold Mine track with a superpowered Blue Shell so that no more Warios could get here until they rebuild the course (if they have enough brainpower to do so). In any case, the Warios won't be able to come back for a while, which was the goal. -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 21:08, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Oh, that made the front news. In honor of the events, I believe the race track is remade. However, it's now called Gold Mine (formerly Wario's Gold Mine) and will be open to the public. Killing Wario helps everyone! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:22, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Ooh, neat! And that means that there will be no more nasty Warios to hog the gold that might be found on and around the track. I might take a lap or two around the new track! See you around! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 12:02, January 7, 2024 (EST)

Love the username

I hadn't said this yet, but I really like your username. It has a simple charm to it and directly states the main character of the Super Mario franchise: Mario himself. There were a few times where I almost thought you were a bureaucrat here, to be honest. Super Game Gear (talk) 09:16, January 6, 2024 (EST)

I did go by it several years ago, but this one is like an extended April Fools joke from 2023, but I don't really want to change it even after a year of waiting. Anyhow I think it's amusing that Mario's a sysop on MarioWiki. It's like Master Hand being a sysop on SmashWiki or Kirby being a sysop on WiKirby. I'm not quite a bureaucrat, but I've been active here since like late 2009 so my experience shows. Believe it or not, I haven't gotten patroller until like 2022. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 13:02, January 6, 2024 (EST)

I'd like to chime in: You're perfect enough to become a bureaucrat, if you want my two cents! -- FanOfYoshi 13:27, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Yes... it would be quite the wiki if the namesake was a 'crat of it. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 17:25, January 6, 2024 (EST)

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Anti-Wario edition

As if Smash and Crab wasn't enough, Pink Shy Guy has made it his mission to further ruin Wario's day! Will Wario ever catch a break with me around?! Sparks (talk) 17:32, January 7, 2024 (EDT)

MEOW! Goes Pink Shy Guy. I've modded my Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I cannot unhear Wario's WOAH!!!![7] every time I see this gif. 😆 Did he lose all his balloons eventually? Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:51, January 8, 2024 (EST)

At one point he did. I was originally going to do a Green Shell/fireball trick shot behind me from the opposite side of the map, but it was too difficult to pull off. I eventually got the Boomerang Flower and showcased its insane range capabilities. Sparks (talk) 13:22, January 9, 2024 (EDT)

Are you able to make sprites? If not, do you know anyone who does? SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 11:21, January 9, 2023 (CST)

I've made a couple of sprites but I don't consider myself a spriter really. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:41, January 9, 2024 (EST)

Concerning a userbox

I just realized while looking at your userbox tower that you have a userbox that looks just like one of mine! It's the one that says "This user destroys Wario, and enjoys doing so." Did you copy that from my userbox tower? If so, I'm flattered! And it's okay, you can keep it there if you want. I don't mind at all. -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 19:44, January 12, 2024 (EST)

Yeah I did use it because it was very anti-Wario and goes nicely with the rest of the anti-Wario userboxes I've made over the course of my activity on MarioWiki. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 00:56, January 13, 2024 (EST)

Okay, cool. And I have a question: I added Rosalina's Mario Party Superstars bio to her profiles and statistics page today. I didn't know whether I should have tried to add a picture to go along with it, because the Encyclopedia has an image of her on her profile page. Should someone upload that image to add to the page, or is what I put fine on its own? Thanks! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 22:23, January 13, 2024 (EST)

If you don't see it, then you should upload it yourself. Remember, be the change you want to see in the wiki. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:48, January 13, 2024 (EST)

Okay, I uploaded an image and added it to the page. Thanks for the advice, and have a great day! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 21:32, January 15, 2024 (EST)

Music score

Hello, Mario. I am playing Super Princess Peach and I saw there is no article for a music score. If you do not mind an article being created, what name do you think should be the official article name? Two names are Music score (Super Princess Peach) and Score (Super Princess Peach). I referenced from two quotes: Perry states "Did you know that if you collect a lot of music scores, you'll get more and more members? Yeah!", and after collecting a music score, the game refers to it as a score. Derekblue1(talk) 06:38, January 15, 2024 (EST)

I think "music score" is more descriptive. Simply saying "Score" suggests points and whatnot. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:53, January 15, 2024 (EST)

BJAODN, part 3

Originally suggested by TheUndescribableGhost, I've launched a fanon category for BJAODN. Could you please add it to the Collections section on the main BJAODN page, between Enemies and Games? Thanks. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:52, January 20, 2024 (EST)

Status

Okay, I've been working on quite a number of developments on the wiki lately.

For one, I'm making effort to get rid of the tabber template outside of the approved cases. I've just finished removing it from all of the DKC levels.

Secondly, I've been creating various templates to display the data more conveniently. The List of Mario profiles and statistics page, for instance, had a lot of outdated markup, particularly in the Baseball and Smash Bros. sections. Still has to be sorted by order. I've also created template for conveniently displaying trophy data around a few Super Smash Bros. games. I hated the red and light blue backgrounds all over the Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U tables, and thankfully they're now gone.

Third, a few of the templates I made invoke the use of two languages, particularly {{DK64 German website character}} (for the five playable Kongs in DK64 only) and {{PBMCD profile}} (for links in Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia).

Fourth, the {{SMG2 boss}} template inspired me to start making quick reference templates for bosses in other games. Like {{DK boss}}, for example. Allows for quick reference, like how many hits the boss takes, which boss comes next in sequential order, and a few parameters that wouldn't fit into {{character infobox}}, like boss level name and world name. I think in general, templates like these could help with issues, like I think a Mario 64 location one needs to made to resolve issues with sections like this: Bob-omb Battlefield#Statistics_from_Super_Mario_64. Super Mario RPG (talk) 14:59, January 20, 2024 (EST)

Seems like you're all over the place. I recommend you focus on a particular area in case you run across disagreements. For instance, your efforts on tabber have been comprised of you and others undoing your work, so you want to avoid committing to big changes that you don't know if the community necessarily agrees to. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:04, January 22, 2024 (EST)

Good point, which is why I put a list of them on my user page to help me keep track. I finished the DK64 German website character profiles for the five Kongs, for example. Super Mario RPG (talk) 11:26, January 23, 2024 (EST)

another template idea

First of all, thank you to you and the staff team for lowering the warning tier. Secondly, may I create a consistent wikitable template for the "List of appearances" sections? It's on many articles, and I've seen some inconsistencies like column width, some columns titled "Release date," others saying something like "Year of release." Then some say "Summary" whilst other column equivalents say "Role." Super Mario RPG (talk) 15:42, February 9, 2024 (EST)

It's probably beneficial to do that. We do need to standardize the wikitable template. I've personally followed Wiggler#List_of_appearances. That being said, I'm not sure if we need to list the format the appearance is on. Also, we probably will need to consider appearances in other media, such as cartoons, movies, etc.. While it's a video game centric wiki, we probably need to include appearances on Mario media (we probably should leave out cameos outside of MarioWiki coverage, that'll easily clutter the table). Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:46, February 9, 2024 (EST)

I was considering separate templates to fulfill such a purpose. I didn't think one could fully integrate the functionality of the Cite template into a single one, for instance, but they managed to prove it's possible (really glad we have that template now, since I wanted professional citation format for a while now). The other media appearances one is tough, and such a section hasn't been standardized. I'm thinking a format like this if a "List of appearances" section has more media:

==List of appearances==
===Video games===

===Television and films===

===Manga===

Super Mario RPG (talk) 15:56, February 9, 2024 (EST)

Okay, I've made {{appearances list}}. I decided to add an automatic number parameter since I saw it on Waluigi's List of appearances section. Super Mario RPG (talk) 13:06, February 10, 2024 (EST)

Removal of physical description for the Swordfighter Peach article

Hey, I noticed that you removed the physical description section for all the Princess Peach: Showtime transformation articles except the one for Swordfighter Peach, so can you do me a favor and remove that one as well? 104.28.55.219

It's been done. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:08, February 24, 2024 (EST)

Question regarding unique signature

Hello. I was just curious how you were able to make a unique signature with that Mario icon and attach your contributions next to where it says talk. I've been trying to figure that out for myself to have a unique looking signature but I don't know where to look --KevinM (talk) 20:53, February 26, 2024 (EST)

Please refer to MarioWiki:Signatures for signature tips. If you wanted to attach an image to your signature, make sure to put |x35px]] after the [[File:IMAGE.png.  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  23:20, February 26, 2024 (EST)

Thank you KevinM (talk/contribs) 01:28, February 27, 2024 (EST)

You can also study the markup I did for User:Mario/sig. You'll want to look at this line.

Wario's not invited for the Leap Year/Day

How do you feel about this? -- FanOfYoshi 13:43, February 29, 2024 (EST)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

By the way, GO CHOKE ON THAT INVISIBLE SANDWICH, WARIO.

OH WAIT IT'S NOT INVISIBLE. I JUST STOLE IT FROM YOU. 🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪

Free sandwiches for Mario and friends and NOT Wario! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:31, March 2, 2024 (EST)

Shhhh...

Wario is sleeping standing up... don't wake him up.  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  04:46, March 3, 2024 (EST)

Oopsie!

Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:16, March 4, 2024 (EST)

Apparently, Wario likes throwing baby penguins off cliffs!

Can you believe that? The King of Ice Land (whether it's the one from the NES version, the SNES remake, or if he's a penguin himself) needs to do something about it! We need spread the word, and ensure it reaches the king of Ice Land himself! -- FanOfYoshi 10:24, March 4, 2024 (EST)

Well throwing baby penguins off cliffs have become a common occurrence. I wonder how that started... I've already told the king of Ice Land and he has agreed to buy all those Safety Bounce badges from Flower Kingdom and mandate them be equipped to those babies to make sure they bounce back with a vengeance! Meanwhile, try to bar anything Wario-related from Ice Land! You don't know what kind of nefarious Cold War-related deeds he might be up to! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:15, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

Fix

He's gonna repair most coverage of the Mario and History of Mario and Wario and History of Wario articles. I really wish he could fix his bad sequel movie, too!

This little Marionesian repairman is cuter than that yellow plumber guy Wario. Wario would get jealous of that blue fixer's adorableness and sweetness, it rots his teeth!  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  16:56, March 4, 2024 (EST)

I think Wario would just hate him by proxy because Felix is a goody two shoes according to Wario. Felix is above working for this guy and would dispute his attitude and his willingness to wreck things. I wish he can come over and fix some broken links, too! Especially the missing images. What will we do without knowing what File:Shirt.PNG looks like for sure? Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:18, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

In Search of Lost Brother BJAODN page

I got another BJAODN page created: In Search of Lost Brother. Could you please add it and Bedtime for Drain-Head! (which seems to have been forgotten about) to the Complete "articles" articles section of the main BJAODN page? SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:41, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

Done! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:11, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

The "MarioWiki:BJAODN/" prefix shouldn't be on the links (pipe them like so: [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/In Search of Lost Brother|In Search of Lost Brother]]), but thanks once again! SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:20, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

Also done. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:20, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

Cluckboom and Bone Twister

This may say more about how I personally interpret these things than anything concrete, but Cluckbooms are called "Bomb Coo Coo" in Japan, whereas Plurps are called "Coo Coo". Due to (what appears to me to be) a derived name, their similar designs, their similar behaviors, and the fact that the teams for Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy included a lot of the same people, my interpretation is that Cluckbooms are a type of Plurp, not just a similar-looking or related enemy. I think Galaxy has more derived elements from Sunshine than are widely understood, so I thought it was worth mentioning this relationship on the Cluckboom's description on the Super Mario Galaxy page. I have a similar (but admittedly weaker) impression of Bone Twisters. If not a direct type, than I think those guys are at least suppose to be related to Sunshine's Wind Spirits. They have similar Japanese names ("Wind-kun" for Wind Spirits, and "Sand Wind-kun" for Bone Twisters) and they are both whirlwinds with big silly eyes. – Nintendo101 (talk) 14:23, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

The similarities are noted in the articles themselves, but I think it's haste to establish an explicit connection in the manner the enemy summaries are doing. The Japanese are somewhat shared but not particularly direct evidence for a relationship given the general reliance on generic onomatopoeia given as basis for these names. I'm sure there's several examples in the wiki with shared Japanese names that involve onomatopoeia. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:29, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

That's fair. I agree that names do not imply a relationship between enemies on their own. I feel like relationships have been suggested elsewhere on those grounds that I don't agree with. (I really don't think Chargin' Chucks and Boom Booms are related beyond both being Koopas.) But for Cluckboom specifically, do the other things I mentioned not make that interpretation grounded in objectivity? If Cluckbooms and Plurps were chicken enemies that behaved differently or looked nothing alike, that would be one thing, but they are very similar. Similarly proportioned. Similarly sized. Similar warm color schemes. Similar flight patterns and behavior. They both need to be hit indirectly to ground them. The biggest difference to me is that Cluckbooms drop bombs, whereas Plurps drop goop. Those details, in combination with having shared game staff and sharing "Coo Coo" in their names... I feel like this is all too much to suggest its coincidental or a subjective interpretation. – Nintendo101 (talk) 14:59, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

No, I can see where you're coming from. I don't think it's an unreasonable interpretation. I just don't agree with the wording. Perhaps just mention "Plurp-like" or "Similar to its Plurp predecessor", so you can note the similarities without drawing too much of a direct link. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:58, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

I guess that's fine. I'm sorry for being obstinate. – Nintendo101 (talk) 19:16, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

None taken. Arguments on this can get pretty passionate on the wiki. I didn't interpret that from you however. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:19, March 16, 2024 (EDT)

Proposal cleaned up

I cleaned up my proposal by adding the <pre> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks? GuntherBayBeee 21:24, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

Unfortunately, I probably missed it. Apologies for this. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:21, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

I am a Yoshi Hater!

That's right! I don't like Yoshi in the slightest! Did you really think i actually liked this guy? Hah! I like Wario! And don't expect me to kill Warios anymore! They're my friends now, an endangered species! -- FanOfYoshi 02:53, April 1, 2024 (EDT)

You don't seem to be feeling better... I hope you feel better soon!! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:17, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

Sending a Wario your way!...

Oh. Looks like he's been lit up on the journey here. Anyone up for s'mores over the Wario fire? --OmegaRuby (talk) 09:58, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

I am totally down for it! I caution that your schmoes are probably going to have a garlicy aftertaste. That can't be helped! I'm sure it'll make it taste better. Pass me the marshmallows, I'm always ready! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 14:16, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

Stickers

I'm aware my proposal to trim the Stickers list was unsuccessful, but it still hinders the accessibility of the Super Mario stickers, so I created a separate list page for them. Hopefully this doesn't go against the rules. Super Mario RPG (talk) 16:01, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

SSB conflict

There's currently a conflict over the deletion of Super Smash Bros. redirects on an administrator's talk page. I worry I've posted too much on there because I'm concerned some who are in disagreement are trying to subvert the democratic process of the proposals system. Even though a handful probably did not think that the redirects would be deleted outright, the proposal passed nonetheless, the proposer reportedly intended for the redirects to be deleted, and it is one of the proposals yet to be enacted. Is this a case where the wiki staff has to come to a resolution or a follow-up proposal? Just a bit confused. Super Mario RPG (talk) 14:12, April 9, 2024 (EDT)

Please help me!

Hello! I just uploaded a video clip a few minutes ago, but I left it in MP4 format, thinking that it would work. However, when I made the page, all that was there was the audio from the video clip without the actual clip! I tried blanking the page, but that didn't do anything. The page in question is here. Can you or someone else delete the page so that I can start over and make sure that the file works after I convert it to a GIF? It's not linked to anything, so you don't need to worry about re-linking pages. Thank you so much! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 15:47, April 14, 2024 (EDT)

Regarding last warning

Hi, sorry for the late response. I'm okay that you gave me a last warning, since I did go overboard without understanding what the scope of the proposal was about, and I generally think that this is probably why proposers should enact the proposers. And I think the last warning will help me be more careful about what I do on the wiki from now on. Super Mario RPG (talk) 11:39, April 25, 2024 (EDT)

Okey dokey. We're not going to, like, block you for making mistakes on like one page, just be very very careful about multiple edits across many, many pages. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 23:19, April 25, 2024 (EDT)

sections

Just wanted to ask if I handled something appropriately, since I'm being extra cautious with my last warning in place. I made a proposal in response to some users preferring to sort the sections by franchise, rather than by series, even though I felt (and I'm going by my personal opinion) that sorting it that way was opening the way for headcanons in sections (and how convenience isn't always reflection of official confirmation from Nintendo). So anyway, besides the point, rather than edit war like over the Cog (obstacle) article, I made a proposal about a conflict I got in (and did some months back over the Lava article). Was this a good way about going about it? When there's conflicts over how an article is done and no corresponding proposal has been done, I think the response is to make a proposal on it. Super Mario RPG (talk) 09:57, May 8, 2024 (EDT)

Making a proposal is an appropriate response to this, yes. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:16, May 8, 2024 (EDT)

sidebar

Asked two things on MediaWiki talk:Sidebar, if you're interested in taking a look. It's more an admin question since users can't edit Sidebars. Super Mario RPG (talk) 15:05, May 10, 2024 (EDT)

(shrug) I don't really have an opinion, but let's see what @Mario has to say about it. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 15:10, May 10, 2024 (EDT)

I answered the questions. Basically, for NIWA links, I don't see the necessity, and for the Mario Boards -> Super Mario Boards request, I also don't know if it's beneficial or a hindrance. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:19, May 10, 2024 (EDT)

When I said NIWA, I meant a link to only niwanetwork.org. Super Mario RPG (talk) 16:56, May 10, 2024 (EDT)

proposal question

Are proposals (to a degree) a way for users to discuss some things that they wonder about with the Super Mario franchise? For example, I felt mixed on whether Super Mario Bros. Movie was introducing more forms of media into the Super Mario platforming series and voted both options (though I later changed to oppose, but had to in any case since that's the policy for two-option proposals). But anyway, I was mixed on the idea, but now it helps to see community input. Super Mario RPG (talk) 15:08, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

Proposals usually do call discussion more than other subjects, so it is normal to use these to solicit opinion. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:15, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

Someone thought my proposal was a joke, which hurt my feelings a bit. I do wish I had executed it better on the first post, since it was brainstorming aloud with digression and trying to make connections that weren't necessarily there. Now it's, as you said, "soliciting opinion" from others (including myself) as to the film's mainline status. The film was so successful, I thought it was reasonable and not a joke to assume it could be going into mainline of the Super Mario franchise. I wouldn't be opposed to if that had become the case, so that it can help Super Mario have more fans than just people who play video games, but I want to assure the proposal wasn't created as a joke. Super Mario RPG (talk) 15:22, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

You probably need to hash it out with Hewer that the question was a bit disrespectful. In my opinion, if you do think your ideas aren't very strong enough for a proposal, it might help to create a talk page discussion first on the appropriate page. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk)

main page

Since you're an admin here, I was wondering what your thoughts are on this idea. It's a discussion that I started about updating the main page design, and I cited a few things that I felt could use with improvement (such as how the List of references article, is grouped with wiki pages). Since this would be such a big decision, I wondered if at least one staff member could weigh in and give comment. One user expressed interest and another wasn't opposed but seemed otherwise neutral. All of us agree the main page design in my sandbox isn't finalized and just a preliminary version that I'm presenting to others. Super Mario RPG (talk) 13:04, May 15, 2024 (EDT)

Appeal attempt

[Big Super Mario Fan]

• [8]

[Big Super Mario Fan]

• [This final warning was completely unnecessary. Because the games where all listet from oldest to newest already. I just put them in one section. This has nothing to do with a proposal.]

Big Super Mario Fan (talk) 02:05, May 17, 2024 (EDT)

You will need to format your appeal in MarioWiki:Appeals. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 11:42, May 17, 2024 (EDT)

Ok. Big Super Mario Fan (talk) 19:09, May 17, 2024 (EDT)

was my proposal clear?

I made a proposal some minutes ago about standardizing the use of History in the Super Mario franchise on articles meeting certain criteria. I don't think there's anything in the rules against formatting the headings as such, so when I say "standardize, it's referring to "if someone changes it, their edit has to be undone."

The Dinosaur article had the "History in the Super Mario franchise" heading undone. The way I handle the situation is that it stays reverted unless the proposal passes, otherwise a dispute could form. Super Mario RPG (talk) 14:43, May 17, 2024 (EDT)

You should gauge from the amount of engagement your proposal is getting. I'm not entirely sure why the proposal was made, and I don't think the amount of options makes it particularly clear what's exactly going to happen. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 12:33, May 18, 2024 (EDT)

Did this make it more clear? Super Mario RPG (talk) 13:03, May 18, 2024 (EDT)

Unfortunately, no. Your proposal in general is vague (I don't understand what the issue is and I still am not sure what the proposal is trying to accomplish) and seems too similar to an earlier proposal regarding organizing those history subsections in the article? There are too many options in your proposal too which often overwhelms people. At least, this is why I'm not really voting on there. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 13:42, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

Okay, I've made some changes, including to the description. I streamlined the proposal to a simple support or oppose, if that helps. Super Mario RPG (talk) 14:00, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

gamecube

A user began a discussion on my talk page over a file that I questioned the applicability of to this wiki, since it's a lot more about Nintendo than Super Mario. It's the Nintendo GameCube menu screen. From what I know, the Nintendo articles are supposed to provide better focus on Super Mario. The menu screen is generic and doesn't show anything related explicitly to Super Mario, while some sub-menus like the game start up or Memory card could be a better case, since those depict icons of Super Mario games.

I think the GameCube menu screenshot is basically about as relevant as the Memory Card article, which had to have a talk page proposal to split it up into separate pages since it wasn't relevant enough for a page on its own. Super Mario RPG (talk) 23:11, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

I've been away for a while. Did something major change while I was gone? I also checked a recent proposal that permitted removal of non-Mario content for Super Smash Bros. (series). I've argued that for years we shouldn't cover it. I was just late to the party. Heh. Depending on case, I am on-board supporting removing non-Mario content. Before that, I just gave up trying to argue it. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:15, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

New BJAODN categories

Hello again! Fellow user Arend has created three new categories for BJAODN: Files and galleries, List articles, and Vehicles. Could you please add these three to the main BJAODN page? SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:48, May 20, 2024 (EDT)

Okey dokey. Please tell me I didn't fudge it up this time. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:44, May 20, 2024 (EDT)

"Lists" should be "List articles" to match the title of the page proper (unless we want to rename that instead). That's the only mistake, though. Thanks once again! SolemnStormcloud (talk) 21:38, May 20, 2024 (EDT)

I thought "lists" would benefit from brevity but if "list article" is much clearer, then we can use that. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:49, May 20, 2024 (EDT)

Mm-hm. We can always discuss a rename another day. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 21:51, May 20, 2024 (EDT)

By "another day", apparently I mean tomorrow afternoon. EDIT: Arend went through with the rename, so you or Porplebot will have to update the piped link anyways. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:29, May 21, 2024 (EDT)
