Restore and Immediately Delete

Please restore File:800px-Flag of the United Kingdom svg.png and then immediately delete it again, but this time, specifying the delete reason specified by the {{delete}} tag of the image. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 01:44, 3 September 2017 (EDT)

Thanks for that quick fix. The reason is for those people who still link to the duplicate image. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 01:55, 3 September 2017 (EDT)

New Worlds in Mario Odyssey

Yeah about that, The words "Mushroom Kingdom" and "Snow Kingdom" are hard to see because the picture of the Amiibos is in the way though. BeautifulBowletta (talk) 23:53, 03 September 2017 (MST)

@JC Maybe he's leaving the Mushroom Kingdom, but he's not leaving the planet. It'd still have a place on the globe. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:42, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

I actually just got that right before I read your message. I'm an idiot.

Guess I'm so used to Mario exploring different planets. Mario JC 05:53, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

RE: Chef Bro

I can't remember which page I saw it on, but I saw that name on another article and added it to the SMO page. I probably should've made sure it was sourced before I added it though. LuigiMaster123 00:33, 5 September 2017 (EDT)

Images

Hi, so Eldritchdraaks (talk) wants to upload images on the battle maps in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle he created himself, but also wants to know if there are any additional permissions required to upload them. I don't see anything about permissions in MarioWiki:Image use policy, so if you could, could you please direct me to any policy that points out any permissions on self-published images? Thanks! ^(T|C) 10:20, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

Proposal archive

With this recently passed proposal, old proposals should be updated to reflect the date that they were canceled or withdrawn. I can take care of the talk page proposals easy enough, but the main proposals are in protected archives. There isn't exactly a neat solution for taking care of this, especially since not every archive has a withdrawn proposal and the archive's history pages aren't always indicative of when the proposals were pulled (though time doesn't matter per the proposal, the date may still be off by a day). For the moment, I'm digging through the main proposal's history page and collecting dates (something I should have done before, I'm aware), but when everything is set for editing the archives, how should it be done? Would it be more appropriate to unprotect the necessary archives and let me edit them, or tell an admin what edits need to be done and let them do it? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:28, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

I'll be sure to do that once I actually make the list. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:44, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

While I was digging through the archives, I came across a proposal that was canceled by its proposer but never added to the archive. Going by its date, it would fit into Archive 17 and require a lot of shuffling around to accommodate... supposing that it's archived, of course. Rule 12 says that "All proposals are archived," but at this point, should this one still be archived? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 23:04, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

Finally finished the list! In short, the archives that need to be edited are #2, #4, and everything after #15 except for #25. I'll also try to slot in the proposals that weren't archived. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 17:31, 10 September 2017 (EDT)

I've finished! The necessary proposals have been updated, and I've slotted in the missing proposals I noticed (barring one; I'm waiting on some clarification from the original person who removed it). Thank you very much for your help! Hello, I'm Time Turner. 17:56, 11 September 2017 (EDT)

Pardon, but is there a reason that the archives between 10 and 19 aren't protected? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 23:07, 11 September 2017 (EDT)

Ghost Jam gave me the go-ahead to archive it, so #43 can be protected. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 18:00, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

Locations in SMO

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give those locations articles, especially if they're named? The Llama's Temple's temple isn't merged with Angry Aztec, Hotel Delfino isn't merged with Sirena Beach, Behind the Waterfall isn't merged with Hazy Maze Cave, and I'm sure there are other examples. It seems likely that people would be searching specifically for them, so I don't see why we need to compress them into other articles. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:40, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

Looking for advice

Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to make proposals more "visible" to users that doesn't involve canvassing, because the proposals I currently have up have rarely, if ever, been voted on so far. Any suggestions? ^(T|C) 08:12, 18 September 2017 (EDT)

Stop changing the image for the Standard MR for its artwork. It is supposed to be its model.

"It"

Any reason you referred to the pretty obviously-female Goomba as an "it" in your edit summary XD? [1] Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:28, 21 September 2017 (EDT)

Cap Kingdom

Not sure of what was in that article, but if this [2] is anything to go by, it could have easily have been expanded and not be a stub. Unless of curse Bonneton has an article. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:34, 21 September 2017 (EDT)

URGENT REQUEST

Hi, if Steve doesn't beat you to it, could you please semi-protect this page for a month (at least), STAT, so that we can thwart a vandal with a dynamic IP? Thanks! ^(T|C) 17:05, 21 September 2017 (EDT)

Mario references

I made that redirect specifically because the search function doesn't work for it. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:23, 24 September 2017 (EDT)

I'm not sure why it doesn't work on a technical level, but in the meantime, I think it'd be best to bring back the redirect. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:28, 24 September 2017 (EDT)

i made the redirect and i honestly did not notice that Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:39, 24 September 2017 (EDT)

Re:Snow Kingdom enemies

I got it at the Nintendo world championships Mario odyssey. a cave. it looked like snow kingdom. I thought it WAS, so that's why I put it there.

if it IS confirmed that kingdom IS snow kingdom, then i'm RIGHT. it just looked liked snow kingdom to me.

if I'm wrong, I'm WRONG. and if i'm right, i'm RIGHT.

I hape you understand.

Use old versions of images

Hello. Is there a way to use an old version of an image? Because I want one for my signature, thank you. LED42™ (talk – edits) 21:32, 14 October 2017 (EDT)

Just upload the older version as a {{personal-file}}, but remember, you have three already. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:35, 14 October 2017 (EDT)

Thank you. Yes, I know. I'll replace the current image. LED42™ (talk – edits) 21:36, 14 October 2017 (EDT)

Or upload it as a {{personal-file-sig}}, which won't count towards your three, but it must be square and scaled to 35px or less. Mario JC 21:38, 14 October 2017 (EDT)

Oh, so it's going to be a signature image? It can then be tagged as {{personal-file-sig}}, which fills up the signature slot. You are allowed four regular personal images and one signature image. I have seen people use more than one signature image, but then they will be using the slots available for regulars. 4:1 is the common ratio for personal:signature. As for Mario jc, do you think the two templates and categories be merged? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:43, 14 October 2017 (EDT)

I don't see a pressing need to merge the two. I think it's more convenient separate. Mario JC 05:04, 15 October 2017 (EDT)

Re:Donkey Kong jr enemies

oh. sorry! I did/nt know that. MKDSF^Talk!

Image Use Policy Update

MarioWiki:Image use policy isn't reflecting a policy change years ago. Would it be appropriate to make the necessary fix to the policy page? Maybe it can go before or after the current second bullet point? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 02:02, 21 October 2017 (EDT)

Pretty good way to word it but I would make these slight tweaks: JPG artwork with solid color, patterned, or scenery backgrounds should also not be converted for the sake of replacing them with transparent backgrounds, as this can lead to leftover off-color edge pixels as a result of bad transparency, which are easily visible when viewed on a different color background. Such images should just be uploaded as they are without any modifications to the backgrounds whatsoever. If you think the wording can be even better than what I suggest, make the changes. The reason I suggest this is because sometimes artwork may have a non-white color background. I hope to not go into too much detail as Shokora (talk) has a WIP about a complete overhaul of the image use policy. I'm only suggesting patchwork edits. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:19, 21 October 2017 (EDT)

Mario Anime Rarity

Hi, I've been studying this particular anime since it was first found out to even exist. That was about 2004. I have seen all the auctions over the years, and only 5 have ever been sold. M*I**X (talk)

Sorry

That was intended to be more of a joking type of remark than anything, but I suppose internet doesn't carry tone well. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:56, 24 October 2017 (EDT)

Also I never really had much in the way of interaction until fairly recently, and never had anything in the way of internet-based interaction until about a year ago. Just a bit unfamiliar with a lot of this sort of thing. Anyways, I feel bad, and am considering potentially taking a temporary leave. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 07:03, 24 October 2017 (EDT)

Thanks!

Thank you for fixing what I wrote, I just read and put what Koizumi said in the Famitsu article, the team wrote the song, and then Nintendo of America translated to English for everyone to understand it (it's the most spoken language without counting Chinese or Spanish), he uses the word "heart", like if it was in Japanese it would be difficult for the rest of the world to connect with the song. Oh and the Upbeat part it's just a simplification of what Koizumi also said about the music. He mentions other things I can also tell. Really good interview! --181.47.138.57 00:36, 26 October 2017 (EDT)

No problem. Sounds like an interesting read; I know some Japanese, but it'll take me ages to fully interpret what they're saying. Someone will have a translated version eventually. :P Mario JC 01:08, 26 October 2017 (EDT)

We're on the same channel, I used Google to help me translate the text I couldn't fully understand, but really, they talk a lot of things, including that in Super Mario Sunshine originally there was going to be real humans, but the designs of those humans end up being too cartoony to actually call them humans, so they went with the cartoon style we all know. The director of SMO remembered that story and that's how we got the humans in NDC ("Let's do it this time lol" exact quote, I laugh my pants off with that particular sentence) --181.47.138.57 01:16, 26 October 2017 (EDT)

That Toadette IP

I think it probably would have been best to have started a talk page on their IP saying "don't do this" before banning them, for the sake of prudence... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:47, 26 October 2017 (EDT)

Super Mario Odyssey

Warning, do not use template {{just released|date=October 27, 2017 in Japan, Europe, Australia and the Americas}} is removed. --Edwardcat2005 (talk) 10:04, 29 October 2017 (EDT)

Behind the Waterfall

Just wanted to remind you that in Super Mario 64 itself, it was "Cavern of the Metal Cap." The "Behind the Waterfall" name is from the slightly-less well-known DS remake. And since Odyssey's receiving so much hype now, they're on a bit more equal terms, or it would be skewed toward Odyssey's. Thank you for your time.

Archive Preservation

For the sake of proposal archiving, I found a leftover redlink and should be changed to File:Bowser Art - Mario Kart Wii.png. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:04, 1 November 2017 (EDT)

Sphynx

Following this discussion, would it be better to move Sphynx (Super Mario Odyssey) to simply Sphynx? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:30, 2 November 2017 (EDT)

I was more asking if it would be alright to move it, since you were the one who made the Sphynx redirect to Sphinx. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 23:27, 2 November 2017 (EDT)

Howzit

If I may ask, what were the duplicate files that Howzit (talk) uploaded? I can't help but be curious after seeing their talk page and how they argued that they weren't uploading duplicate images. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 10:55, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

Pardon, but "good enough" really doesn't seem like what we should be striving for? And "basically" also doesn't make it sound like it was actually a duplicate. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:17, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

If you could, that would be nice. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:35, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

Wait, the original images were already duplicates. One was a direct scan and the other was a countertop photo. Why is Howzit being penalized for that? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:38, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

But why was Howzit penalized for it? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:48, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

Hang on a moment. Those images existed in that form without anyone saying anything about them. They're also not identical, and Howzit's new versions accordingly reflect the differences. Practically, they're the same, but they're not duplicates. Both of them were first uploaded last year, from a secondary source ("EverythingSuperMario"). To me, considering the snafu that already happened with them uploading duplicates, I would have assumed that those images were considered fine, since nobody said anything about them. Why, only now, is Howzit being penalized for those images? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 09:44, 5 November 2017 (EST)

Admin Noticeboard

I have been using MarioWiki:Staff noticeboard for reporting users where I am unsure what to do and let staff figure out the right course of action. Why? I have been told that I was being too strict and a bit trigger-happy with issuing warnings in the past. I have chilled out since then. It has been rather unclear to me when and what to issue. I hope I am not misusing the noticeboard in this way. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 06:07, 5 November 2017 (EST)

Inappropriate File Movement

A user moved to File:Maw-Ray.png despite the former name making more sense for the game in question, and didn't fix the links to it on any page. Given that the former name makes more sense for the specific context, I think it should be moved back, but the redirect needs deleted first. Anyways, should he receive a warning or something for this? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:42, 5 November 2017 (EST)

Legomariofanatic

After issuing a warning to Legomariofanatic previously over edit warring on the kingdom pages, they have once again removed content from the pages that I am about to re-add.-- 04:36, 6 November 2017 (EST)

RE: Car proposal passed

Hi, just dropping by to let you know I've finished sorting out the car article now, you can take a quick look if you wan, there may be some stuff in there that I've missed that needs changing. (:

While I'm here I just wanted to ask you about the remaining Mario Kart vehicles and what you reckon we should do with them. We still have the truck (definitely gets an article), oil tanker, three wheeled pick up truck, surfboard truck, glider ramp truck and taxi. What do you reckon we should do about them? BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:23, 16 November 2017 (EST)

OK, I definitely agree with you on the Taxi and Oil Tanker part, but I'm not 100% sure about the two ramped trucks. Personally, I think the Glide Ramp and Ramp trucks should be separate articles, as they have different functions to the other trucks. BBQ Turtle (talk) 11:48, 17 November 2017 (EST)

Alright, if you think I should make a proposal about, how do you think I should go about it? I'm not really sure how the proposal would work, and I was just wondering where I should put it, what I should include, etc. Would you mind giving me a few pointers? BBQ Turtle (talk) 15:42, 19 November 2017 (EST)

OK, the new proposal's been set up now, regarding the truck articles. I've followed you advice on where to put it, and I've also mentioned you in the proposal itself. I've also added an extra option of potentially including both of the ramped trucks in a single separate article as opposed to two. We'll just have to see how it goes now. BBQ Turtle (talk) 07:10, 26 November 2017 (EST)

Broozer Gallery

Were all the images there on the main Broozer article already, and if not, should some more be added there? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:33, 18 November 2017 (EST)
