Stretch Shroom

So, what happened to the article, Stretch Shroom?
Also, can I have permission to create the articles? LizardMaster25 (talk) 10:34, July 16, 2019 (EDT)

False information

I noticed you've rolled back some of this anon's edits. I just fixed an attempt to swap DK and Bowser's roles on the Mario Party 7 page, looks like most of their edits have been of a "mess with the article" nature. --ExdeathIcon.png Lord G. matters. ExdeathIcon.png 17:01, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

Protection

If no one else gets around to it, would you mind protecting MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/53? Thanks! Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 20:22, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

Also, do you think you could add an Archive 54 link onto the archive list, since another mainstream proposal is going to end soon? Thanks! Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 20:23, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

SMAGPB6 Unagi

Actually, see the Cheep Chomp, which has two separate images. One is with a background, and the other isn't (for the background one, see the Boss Bass talk page). --Ski Yoshi FanOfYoshi A Dr. Freezegood 10:44, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

Yes, and in that case, I uploaded separately because one had the Japanese name of the enemy which was needed for said talk page. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:22, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
Those can just be found on the full images they came from. Cropping and uploading them separately solely for use on a talk page seems unnecessary. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:46, July 20, 2019 (EDT)
Also, i meant it to show the Japanese name, which is both written in Hiragana and Katakana, which is why it'd be best to leave it with the background.. --Ski Yoshi FanOfYoshi A Dr. Freezegood 08:18, July 20, 2019 (EDT)
The focus of the image is the enemy itself; the Japanese name is an unnecessary detail, having two images simply with that difference even more so. As I said, you can find them in the full image linked on the file page, as well as under "Names in other languages". Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 08:25, July 20, 2019 (EDT)
Thing is, though, having the name associated with the picture in plain sight is much better due to the image being used on such a contentious discussion, which is precisely why I uploaded it separately in the first place. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:57, July 20, 2019 (EDT)

Springboard vs. Trampoline

Hi, is it okay with you if I move Springboard to Trampoline? I'm just asking because the name "Springboard" only seems to come from three different sources, all guides, whereas the "Trampoline" name has been more frequently used in-game and is in fact the most recent name.

Re: New articles

The Meowser Showdown thing prompted this, so I was wondering: Is there a rule against starting articles in the userspace and then copying them over once made presentable? --ExdeathIcon.png Lord G. matters. ExdeathIcon.png 22:57, July 24, 2019 (EDT)

Count Bleck thing

I think the point was that "Blumiere" was paired with both aristocratic titles, and the current article just pairs that name with "Lord." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:47, July 25, 2019 (EDT)

Image

The Octopus (Game & Watch) article has a duplicate image of the Modern version from Game & Watch Gallery that I believe should be deleted. What do you think? Dwhitney (talk) 23:38, July 26, 2019 (EDT)

Blue Diamond

Hi, would you mind deleting Blue Diamond so that I may move Silver Diamond there? The reason I ask is because the page is fully protected (and was for an unjustifiably long time, I must add). Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 19:19, July 29, 2019 (EDT)

Strikes again Bigmouth

I'm not actually here to ask for file stuff. Shocking, I know. If I recall correctly, User:YoshiDaisyfan1/SMG2 is a page that should not be a page, and you have the power to make the page that shouldn't be a page not a page. Thanks! Trig - 16:45, July 30, 2019 (EDT)

Not attempting to speak for the admin, but from all appearances it appears to be a defunct userpage that hasn't been changed in years. If I recall correctly, those usually end up left alone on the basis that the user may possibly return at a later date. If I'm wrong, kindly correct me on that. In any case, the page being there isn't doing any real harm in my opinion, especially given it's just in the userspace. --ExdeathIcon.png Lord G. matters. ExdeathIcon.png 20:10, July 30, 2019 (EDT)

Mimic (treasure chest)

In my opinion, I think this page was better off with a game identifier, since if anything, the identifier you gave it makes it more confusing. Simply saying that it's a "treasure chest" means that no one will guess that it's actually an enemy at all. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 05:28, July 31, 2019 (EDT)

Creating new categories

Hi, do i have your permission to create new categories regarding this recently passed proposal? I'm thinking stuff like Category:Real world toys, VHSs, or DVDs (the latter two of which can have Home media as its upper category), when i make pages on the individual dvd/vhs compilations.

Re:Taskmaster

He calls himself "Taskmaster Toad" in-game. Although he could be referring to the species or just be another character named Toad, I think it's most likely that the Taskmaster is the character Toad. --DeepFriedCabbage 11:12, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

About my inadvertently-rude post towards FanOfYoshi

I actually did revise it before posting; the first question that came to my mind was actually a lot more aggressive, but I toned it back immensely simply because of that. As such, what I ended up putting didn't seem very bad, if only by comparison. Skewed my perception a bi. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:57, August 4, 2019 (EDT)

Traffic Safety

Had set that aside for correcting later, noticed you'd gotten to formatting them before I did, so genuine thanks for that. I readded the other two links: I bundled together K. J.'s article and video as references for the showing, and then read through re-added the Kotaku link since it shows relevant merchandise. Just giving you the heads up there. --ExdeathIcon.png Lord G. matters. ExdeathIcon.png 08:03, August 4, 2019 (EDT)

About Big Wiggler and Knucklotec

At the beginning of the Wiggler page, I think we should put information on Big Wiggler. Because, like Squigglers and Flutter, there are quite a few similarities and clear relationships. Also, one of Sand Kingdom's residents says Knucklotec has been restored.--125.12.23.213 09:33, August 5, 2019 (EDT)

2 questions

So I have been adding pictures to the list of Pi'illos, but I decided that some of them need to be redone. So I uploaded new versions, but they aren't showing to me. Any idea why? The second question is related to the first could you maybe delete some of them so the final files that I will add later doesn't look so messy? Files to delete would be: M&LDT Pi'illo Castle Pi'illo 3, M&LDT Mushrise Park Pi'illo 1, M&LDT Dozing Sands Pi'illo 2, M&LDT Wakeport Pi'illo 1, M&LDT Mount Pajamaja Pi'illo 1, M&LDT Mount Pajamaja Pi'illo 2, M&LDT Mount Pajamaja Pi'illo 3 (I also made a duplicate file named M&LDT Mount Pajamaja Pi'illo 3 NEW, so that can be deleted too). I would then add better pictures myself. That's all. I just want that page to by as clean as possible. Thanks in advance. Mid188 (talk) 20:13, August 6, 2019 (EDT)

Help with broken DS Lite shoulder button

Hello,

I noticed on your userpage that your DS Lite's L button no longer responds. I have a similar problem (though this is overshadowed by my even less functional d-pad) but the L button does respond sometimes. I have never tried fixing it (and intend to buy a New 3DS sometime) but I have heard that many people are helped by blowing into it (something about oxidation or sth.) If that doesn't work you can always try the procedure at https://gbatemp.net/threads/kipmudzs-solution-to-malfunctioning-dslites-shoulder-buttons.335590/. I see that you also own a GBASP, a 3DS and a New 3DS so I don't suppose this is necessary but I hope that it helps you anyway MiracleDinner (talk) 05:50, August 14, 2019 (EDT)

Hot Dog

Just to be clear, does the Hot Dog item necessarily take priority over the similarly-named enemy? I'm fairly certain it doesn't, considering the article contained two padded out sections that I removed a few months ago that clearly failed the generic subjects policy. Nonetheless, I wish to settle this with an admin so as to not repeat similar incidents that I'm sure you remember.

Block

If some readers don't want to count obscure games, then I'll just have to ask Steve if he can reprogram this wiki to block those people from accessing the wiki. Because this is now a dedicated website that human beings helped grow, archiving obscure and popular content and facts alike and I'm not going to have people overlook obscure content just because they're unfamiliar with it. I joined this site for 2 reasons: to archive and popularize obscure and missing content. And I'm gonna do everything it takes to make sure nothing can ever become obscure again, even if it means asking Steve to protect the Mario franchise from overlookers. Please don't block me again. It's not fun. I just wanted my voice to be heard. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:25, August 22, 2019 (EDT)

Now, I don't really know if it is my place to say this, but I highly doubt that Steve is going to do anything regarding blocks like that. That's not how we do it here. If you want to create an obscurity list, that is okay, but it should probably kept in a section(s) dedicated to the obscure and unusual. If that does not exist, you could formulate a proposal to allow the creation of one. No one is actively trying to hide these materials from being known about, we're just trying to keep it in a very concise, but broad manner. Trig - 22:35, August 22, 2019 (EDT)
...why would you block people for not sharing a particular interest anyway? Thought police much? --ExdeathIcon.png Lord G. matters. ExdeathIcon.png 00:06, August 23, 2019 (EDT)
If we did that, it would open up a whole can of worms regarding blocks and particular interests. Would I be blocked because I regard Action 52 as good? Would everyone who hates Super Mario Galaxy be blocked? I fear that with that system, only one person would be left at the end. Interests can be different, and that's good. I personally think that blocking users just because they don't happen to share a particular interest with you is very discourteous. I am not alone on this sentiment, as the messages above have proven. TheDarkStar Sprite of the Dark Star from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey 14:23, August 23, 2019 (EDT)

Super Mario Maker 2 SMB1 Sky Theme Does NOT Originate from Super Smash Bros. Brawl –– PROOF

So, this is in regards to the Super Mario Maker 2 page where it's stated that the bridge section of the SMB1 Sky theme comes from the Brawl arrangement.

Here's Koji Kondo playing this himself, this performance dates back to 2007. It's crappy quality, but I'm including this version here so that you know 100% that I'm not lying that this is indeed from 2007.

https://youtu.be/BQUW3Ip380w

Another perspective, better quality, includes the variation of that bridge section at 1:18.

https://youtu.be/JMZLMFTkPW4

Now, these are just rehearsal videos, he actually performed it at Video Games Live in 2007, and this is that performance. Again, just to hammer this home, 6:24 is that same modified bridge section which was later used in Brawl which came out in 2008.

https://youtu.be/f3DSUJ-cLBc

Now, you can say "Well, this was 2007, Brawl came out less than a year later. He probably already made the arrangement and just incorporated some of that into his piano performance!"

Well, this modified bridge section predates even THAT concert. It actually comes from the recording of the Mario medley, based on the themes from the first Super Mario Bros. game with the London Symphony Orchestra playing it.

Here's the full recording by the London Symphony Orchestra, the bridge section in question is at 0:38

https://youtu.be/Wkg8C4sWfp0

I don't know exactly what year this recording came out, but it was used in this Newgruonds flash which came out in 2001, so it predates Brawl by at least 7 years!

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/25555

My original edit simply stated that while the SMB1 Sky theme "came from Brawl," it actually predates Brawl quite a bit. Now that I've provided you with more than enough proof on this, I'm going to go back and reinstate my original edit as I find it entirely appropriate, and would appreciate if you don't remove it this time.

Thanks, Mario54671

Yet two more things

  1. What's your opinion on how "Literal translation" should be used? More specifically, what do you have to say to the points I made in this edit summary?
  2. I know this is way too late, but was it really a good idea to rename this user? On another Wiki (one where I'm a user, no less), the fact that he uses this same username, combined with the fact that he has acted like he owns that Wiki, makes the Wiki in question look like a joke.

Issue

I don't want to be rude, but I don't think we should have editors on this site if they can't look at an image for a few seconds and if they undo accurate edits because they don't want to do basic research that we cover. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:37, August 28, 2019 (EDT)

It was not touched up in the least... I removed the background and upscaled the image. The last one I uploaded was indeed touched up with smoothing and color work, but now I don't honestly know how you're seeing that. And you may have seen I tried to figure out the category format for the SSBU images I just uploaded, but couldn't get the right one for some reason. Thanks for the info.

Editor icons

I replaced your screenshot here with a game rip. I know that this is the right sprite because of the file I got it from, and the other sprites in the same file. I do think we should replace these images with sprites instead of YouTube screenshots. Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png 12:31, September 9, 2019 (EDT)

Then why did you say you got it from YouTube? And if you did get it as a direct capture from the Switch, shouldn't these images be .jpgs? We can resize the images, like we already do right now. When we have all of them as sprites, it'll look better. And all of them do have transparency space in the files, so I could just leave them uncropped. Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png 22:03, September 9, 2019 (EDT)
But the point of these sprites is that they do fit in a box. The Wiggler is just the head, the Banzai Bill and Skewer are cropped, etc. It'd not be changing the image itself, it'd be getting a higher quality version. Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png 22:34, September 9, 2019 (EDT)

Permision to add 2 pages + A question

So I recently completed the item lists for Dream Team and Paper Jam and I was wondering, can I do the same for the remake of the Superstar Saga, since lot of it is same from the original game? Well some of it is different like the number of beans in the Teehee Valley, Beanbean Fields+Airport and Chateau le Chucklehuck+Chuklehuck Woods.

I also will do the beanholes from the remake for Bowser's Inside Story since there's no reason NOT to do it since the number and the types of beans are different (to resemble later titles).

Another thing is related to this: Is it possible that the List of Beanholes for Superstar Saga is not accurate? Like I don't remember seeing that the remake removed some beans, only made the invisible ones visible, so the numbers should be same, but in the areas mentioned above it's not the case. It will take time but I will find out myself. But if I'm proven right I would add to the old list. But if not, that means some beans were added in the remake, so that's another reason to do that list for the remake.

The reason I'm asking is that like I would do the list but then it would be deleted because it would seem unnecessary.

Well, that's all from me for now.

Note: I'm sorry for the mess in the history tab, my PC bugged out in that moment.--Mid188 (talk) 15:46, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Edit: So I have found 1 in Teehee Valley and added a picture. But also found the place in Beanbean Fields where it's supposed to be, but isn't. And in Chucklehuck Woods, in the remake, the 5 required to dig out aren't counted in the Records option in the menu, so the number is fine without them. So, the remake added 1 new beanhole and made the others visible and some visible one have been moved. So in my opinion, I think the list of beanholes for the remake is a good idea. And while I would do that, I would also do the hidden blocks. Just to have everything. Now, I'm done. Sorry for the long message (if it's bothering you).--Mid188 (talk) 18:18, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

As you are an administrator of this site, there has to be censorship yes.

ChristopherPAraujo (talk) 13:20, September 21, 2019 (EDT)

So I had an idea...

I'm too tired to make a full proposal about this right now, but you know how we sometimes get artwork from unclear and/or dubious sources (and in some cases, have had them since nearly the beginning) and aren't really sure if it's actual official art or just fan-made? I thought perhaps instead of doing the potentially harmful keeping or immediately deleting, we make some sort of "probationary gallery" to store them in until it's proven either way, so as to not forget about proving or disproving them. Seem like a good idea? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:31, September 27, 2019 (EDT)

I mean like how as far as I can tell, no one's really sure where this or this image actually came from, leading to what amounts to guesswork. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 10:08, September 27, 2019 (EDT)
Pretty sure LTL or I put that there as a hypothesis, but he admitted it might be fanart that snuck in in the early days. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:57, September 27, 2019 (EDT)

I have a proposition. What if I posted video titles and uploader names on pages and then someone would find the videos and would copy/paste the link where I put the title?
