| Rules for my talk page:
| |
|
| |
| 1. No spam, vandalism, or inappropriate content on my talk page. They will be immediately removed by myself, another MarioWiki user, or an admin.
| |
|
| |
| 2. No personal information on my talk page. Putting personal info on any parts of this wiki is dangerous!
| |
|
| |
| 3. Good faith edits on my talk page should be removed with a good reason. Don't make that reason nonsensical.
| |
|
| |
| 4. Please do '''not''' issue any false reminders, warnings, or last warnings on my page. While I'm not an admin, the current admins '''do''' have the authority to remove those false reminders or warnings. In fact, abusing warning privileges is a Level two offense. See [[MarioWiki:Warning_policy#Level_two_offenses]].
| |
|
| |
| 5. I do not know any of you guys personally, so please don't ask me friend requests yet. In addition, '''please''' ask me permission to use parts of my userbox tower. If you use an image from the userbox tower without my permission, you'll get an informal reminder. (Not the actual reminder template, okay?)
| |
|
| |
| 6. Comments should not be edited or deleted unless they are inappropriate, spam, or vandalism. Yes, it may be a bit hard to follow that rule when you notice that someone accidentally made an error in their comment. But at the same time, it's also against the rules on the MarioWiki to do so. See [[MarioWiki:Warning_policy#Level_two_offenses]] for more information.
| |
|
| |
| 7. I will archive between 50-100 sections.
| |
|
| |
| 8. While I am logged into this wiki every day, I don't always make lots of edits right now, as I am in still high school. I will be around to check new messages on my talk page, though, so as long as you follow these rules, there shouldn't be any problems.

| The server was cleaned out of all the deleted content back in April 2012, so anything deleted before then cannot be restored.

| == RE: Background Color of Walkazo's Message ==
| |
|
| |
| That's not what I was getting at. The previous color made the notice look more formal, and the bright-yellow color is distracting and just takes that away. Really, it's perfectly fine the way it is. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:41, 21 February 2019 (EST)

| == RE: Edit sniping ==
| |
|
| |
| There wasn't supposed to be anyone to "beat" in the first place. I get that you're trying to help, but if an admin places a block, it's their responsibility to add the block notice themselves. If a significant time has passed since the block and no notice was added (because they forgot), ''then'' you can do it. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:34, 28 February 2019 (EST)

| ==Warnings==
| |
| Unless what they did was minor enough to downgrade a usual warning, if a user deserves a warning, give them a warning. This goes for all levelled offences for the most part. {{User|Best Fitness Friends}} should of outright received a warning. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 15:06, 9 March 2019 (EST)

|
| |
| ==Users being blocked==
| |
| If a vandal makes an edit that is minor vandalism then we generally do not block them unless if they continue vandalizing, if they had vandalized multiple times or has vandalized in the past. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 17:44, 9 March 2019 (EST)
| |
| :I mean, it's really up to the blocking admin to decide. Personally, I don't block for one small edit like that, usually that's just someone doing a one-and-done joke and it was nothing page breaking, but someone else might've blocked them. You've done nothing wrong, you used the admin noticeboard correctly.

| ==RE: Image Expert==
| |
| Okay, upload an image is easy. You, learn how to upload:
| |
| #Click "Upload file" under tools on the left side. It's not too hard to find it. Or https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Upload
| |
| #Choose any image that is related to this wiki only.
| |
| #Aboutfile must be required before uploading. You have to replace any variable as [https://www.mariowiki.com/Template:Aboutfile Template:Aboutfile] stated. You can remove any variable that is blank.
| |
| #Replace "{<nowiki>{uncategorized}}</nowiki>" with "[[Category:<GAMENAME> Any]]". Ex: [<nowiki>[Category:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions Images]]</nowiki>. Select any license that image is correct. Again, Category and Licensing must be required.
| |
| #Now upload it and add [[File:<IMAGENAME>]] to the page.
| |
| It's really easy, isn't it? [[User:BlueSpinner|BlueSpinner]] ([[User talk:BlueSpinner|talk]]) 23:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

| == "False info/vandalism" ==
| |
|
| |
| ''Please'' try to make better judgements first before immediately ruling everything as false information or vandalism. That goes to both reporting other users and issuing reminders/warnings, as two of yours have been overturned for the same reason already. Repeatedly handing out undeserved warnings, when in most cases a simple informal heads-up would suffice, can count as [[MarioWiki:Warning policy#Level two offenses|abusing warning privileges]] and could lead to your getting a warning yourself, and repeatedly making false alarms on the noticeboard isn't any better either. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:52, March 16, 2019 (EDT)

| |
| ::A bit of specific advice: making ''one'' bad edit is not necessarily "vandalism." They very likely came from a different wiki with different rules and are simply used to different standards.

| == Stubs ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey, the two articles you took the stub template off of are actually stubs. Stub articles are ones that are missing information, which both of those pages are, it has nothing to do with an article's length. A lot of short articles are stubs, but not all of them, similarly if a long article is missing information it can still be classed as a stub. {{User|Yoshi876}}

| |
|
| |
| I am really sorry about before. I have been scanning the wiki and have made a few more edits. Please tell me if there are any problems with them (I love this wiki and really don't want to harm it.) I would really appreciate it. I am sorry for the trouble I caused before. Love your work and thanks for pointing out my mistakes.

| |
| ==re:Two Questions (for you)==
| |
|
| |
| I'll be straight: bringing up the death of a beloved community member so bluntly and treating it as a minor convenience for your preferred outcome is ''majorly'' tasteless.
| |
|
| |
| With that aside, to answer your inquiries:
| |
|
| |
| "First, I noticed that this talk page is getting a bit long. Now, I don't want to be rude, but have you thought about archiving it yet?"
| |
|
| |
| Thank you for pointing that out. I'll pull back to the process of archiving it by another five years.
| |
|
| |
| "Secondly, why does MarioWiki:Courtesy#Censorship say that it is somehow "offensive" to censor offensive material?"
| |
|
| |
| The actual wording on the page is "reopening these debates is frowned upon as being futile, disruptive, and even offensive". The point isn't that the suggestion to censor stuff is always inherently offensive, but that the motives behind it and the implication of censoring certain content ''can'' be offensive. Let me give you an example:
| |
|
| |
| Let's say I am a very religious person. And in my religion, the country of Romania and its denizens are the freaking '''devil'''. I cannot see a Romanian flag without being excomunicated from my fellow Romania haters. Now with this in mind, I could launch a proposal to substitute mentions of Romania from Mariowiki pages to another name, or delete if not possible, because this content is offensive to me and I believe it should be censored in accordance to my moral beliefs.
| |
|
| |
| It is very likely that Romanian users of the wiki would be offended by my suggestion, and they would be right - it's not my place to impose my beliefs on the entire site, and that goes for many viewpoints, on many topics.
| |
|
| |
| "Censoring inappropriate stuff by replacing it with more appropriate stuff shouldn't be a problem as long as it does not degrade the quality of the article in any way, right? "
| |
|
| |
| That's a big assumption, that censorship can be done without "degrading the quality of the article". If I substitute the quote on the [[Bob Hoskins]] page, a very memorable quote that succintly illustrates Hoskin's relationship to the movie, I am making the article worse. Swapping out the big bad word with something else or using any transparent method of obscuring what it is also makes it worse, first because I am denaturing Bob Hoskins' words, and because the usage of such a strong term is vital to the quote, to illustrate Hoskin's well-documented frustration and dissapointment with the movie. Likewise, if I go on the [[Shitamachi Ninjō Gekijō]] page and I use euphemisms to describe the many crazy and offensive things the characters in it do, or that I delete it because a child ''could'' read about it and I do not think children should be reading about such topics, I, very much am degrading the quality and failing the site's purpose.
| |
|
| |
| When Walkazo argued against having censorship on the wiki's mainspace, her reasoning is that we are an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias don't censor. It's a view I agree with. Obviously, many consider a site very seriously and comprehensively detailling the Super Mario video games to be of limited practical purpose, not to mention quite silly. And perhaps it is, but that doesn't mean we can take our silly purpose very seriously. "Think of the childrens" has historically been a terrible argument for many things, with very negative consequences when applied. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 22:22, August 29, 2022 (EDT)

| ==re:My Edit to The Game Boy (comic) page==
| |
|
| |
| One red link in a page that's over 5.000 bytes is not a lot.
| |
|
| |
| When something like the FA pages says an article must have as few red links as possible, the implication is that you either make the article about the thing that's being red-linked, consider if the thing being red-linked warrants a page, or check if it's typo'ed and is supposed to lead to a page that already exists. That ''doesn't'' mean "delete red links every time you see them", because the thing being red-linked might be a valid subject for a page (which, being a ficitonal newspaper within the comic universe, the National Enquisitor totally is) that one plans to create later. When I made those comic issues pages, I red-linked to the Game Boy (comic) page, so that I wouldn't have to go back and add the link to those pages once I created the article - because that would be tedious and unnecessary. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 12:28, September 2, 2022 (EDT)

| |
| :I'm not this user, but '''it's subjective and a personal opinion'''. Not everyone finds a character cute. If Waluigi's page has Waluigi is handsome, you could say that's true if you think so, but others won't think that, so it is best to not include this on pages, as it is too subjective. {{User:WildWario/sig}} 03:25, December 24, 2022 (EST)
