Editing User talk:Mid188

== Italics ==

Hello. I understand you used [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music]] as a template for your new page, but as you might have noticed from the page, keep in mind that [[Special:Diff/2588824|whenever you name a game title yourself]], it should be ''italicised'', with two apostrophes before and after the title (<code><nowiki>''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''</nowiki></code>, which becomes ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''). [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]] provides a step-by-step guide on how to create an article from scratch. Other than that, thanks for your contribution with the new page! {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:03, 24 January 2019 (EST)

==Images==
{{imagecategory-reminder}}
Hello, regarding your [https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:ListFiles/Mid188 recent upload] you forgot to properly categorize your image. How to do that is listed above this comment. Thanks! {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 11:25, 10 February 2019 (EST)

=="You"==
Hello, just wanted to let you know that we do not use the term "you" to refer to the player. The character's name or the phrase "the player" works just fine. [[User:TheDarkStar|TheDarkStar]] ([[User talk:TheDarkStar|talk]]) 20:16, March 22, 2019 (EDT)

Please keep this in mind, as you're still using "you" to refer to the player. This also applies to phrases like ''"Go to this room."'' which should be written as ''"'''The player should''' go to this room."'' {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:25, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

Also, "beanhole" is not a proper noun like "Mario", so omitting the articles "a" or "the" doesn't make sense. It should be referred to as "'''the''' beanhole" (as in ''"After entering the room, '''the''' beanhole is seen in the northwest corner."''). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:35, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

== Screenshot resolution ==

Hello. Thank you for creating and adding images to the [[List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]] page. Can you try to get your images in native DS resolution (256x384)? If you're playing on an emulator, you should be able to do this by taking a screenshot. [[User:Scrooge200|Scrooge200]] ([[User talk:Scrooge200|talk]]) 21:29, March 22, 2019 (EDT)

=="Edited"==
The parameter "edited" on an aboutfile template is for however you edited the image before you uploaded it, not for edits you made to the aboutfile, category, or licensing post-upload. Thanks! [[User:TheDarkStar|TheDarkStar]] ([[User talk:TheDarkStar|talk]]) 11:37, March 23, 2019 (EDT)

==Beahnholes==
I'd like to give you my full on thanks and appreciation for making and finishing up the Partners in Time beanhole article promptly and quickly, also with great quality images and accurate locations. Any other projects you plan on undertaking? {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:44, March 28, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, no problem. I just started playing all RPGs in order of release and I am completionist, so I want everything there is to do in the game. And I saw that beanholes from PiT don't have page like in SS and BIS. Send also thank to TheDarkStar, Mario JC, Scrooge200, Toadette the Achiever, Alex95 and 7feetunder. They helped too. I plan on doing the same thing to Dream Team (Beanhole and Pii'llos) and Paper Jam (Beanholes/Drill Spots, Item Patches). I plan to, but that doesn't mean I get to do it, maybe I won't have time. {{User|Mid188}} 22:08, March 28, 2019 (EDT)

You need to press CTRL + F5 on the file page or clear your browser cache to be able to see the new version you uploaded. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:38, August 6, 2019 (EDT)

== More beanholes & hidden blocks ==

I just thought I'd discuss this with you now. The hidden block locations in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' are pretty much the same as they are in the original game so I'm not sure that will be necessary, a lot of the beanhole locations are the same too even though they're all visible and I think there are a few different ones. As for ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' beanholes, well a lot of them are actually in different locations from the original game and because of the bigger variety of beans, the types uncovered are changed too so that seems like a good one. Thanks regardless for this. [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 13:40, September 12, 2019 (EDT)

I believe that just leaves the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey beanholes. With that one, I should point out that multiple beans can be obtained from one beanhole so I think it would be ideal to include the exact amount from each beanhole, and I don't think it would be necessary to include ones obtained from Kuzzle or the Mushroom ball sidequests since they're not counted in the lists unlike in the original game, but could still mention at the top of the page, along with the fact that some beans are now obtained after the giant battles. Lastly, Toad Town Caves is merged with Toad Town, even though there are only two beanholes in the caves this time. [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 15:35, September 26, 2019 (EDT)

== RE: Permision to add 2 pages + A question ==

I have not finished either of the original games or played their remakes, but if a number of beanholes from ''M&LSS'' have been relocated, a separate page makes sense. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:20, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

== Gauntlet screenshots ==

Since you're playing this game, would it be possible for you to get screenshots of the Gauntlet boss's artworks that are shown before the battles? I requested those on all of their pages. Thanks in advance. [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 15:45, September 30, 2019 (EDT)

That's what I intend to use them for, and giant boss artwork screenshots would be nice too but I know it may be more difficult 'cause they're only shown with their names while the screen is sideways. [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 17:15, September 30, 2019 (EDT)

Yeah that is great, and I just put it in Durmite X's page. Thanks a lot [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 15:49, October 1, 2019 (EDT)

There definetly were artworks of the giant bosses too, as the screen rotates they're shown. https://youtu.be/QrhgT4PXwXk [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 16:09, October 1, 2019 (EDT)

== RE:Permission ==

Alex95's not currently online, so...

I remember the deleted page on ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' clothing having next to no information to begin with. If you wish to recreate the page, then go right ahead; after all, you have all of the necessary information, unlike the creator of the deleted version.

BTW, if you need some time to add in large chunks of information, then go ahead and use your [[Special:MyPage/sandbox|sandbox]] to work on it, then add it to the main article once you're done. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 15:58, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
:Yeah, it was only deleted because it had no information at all. If you think you have everything, then go for it :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:59, October 16, 2019 (EDT)

I'm the one who tried to create it before but it was created before I started getting information about clothing, so that's why it was removed. But thanks in advance for doing this. [[User:Mario Sakuraba|Mario Sakuraba]] ([[User talk:Mario Sakuraba|talk]]) 16:11, October 16, 2019 (EDT)

== Complete Music Pages ==

I saw and was pleased with the work you did with List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music and List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey music where you list the name of the music and where it plays in-game and I was wondering if you could do pages like that for the other Mario & Luigi games if so that would help me out tremendously! --[[User:T.schultz|T.schultz]] ([[User talk:T.schultz|talk]]) 12:26, July 21, 2020 (EDT)

== RE: Need help with anything? ==

Nothing is immediately coming to mind, but you can take a look at [[MarioWiki:Maintenance]]'s categories to see if there's a page you can help with. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:55, February 27, 2021 (EST)
:If you do get around to getting Origami King, one idea I have for that would be a list of hidden blocks. We have lists for the ones in the first two Paper Mario games, and like in the M&L series since Paper Jam, blocks are recorded in that game. The [[List of hidden Toads in Paper Mario: The Origami King]] article also still needs work. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 13:04, February 27, 2021 (EST)
::I don't know about a seperate page listing collectible treasures since most of it would just be repeating the Musée Champignon article. As for stuff in the other games, it's quite hard to think what else is there, since we have lists for pretty much everything in those games now. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 18:48, February 27, 2021 (EST)

== RE: Paper Mario: The Origami King - item location pages. ==

Good plan. You don't need to ask for permission, just go out and do it. 👍 {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:29, February 8, 2023 (EST)
:I want to point out that [[User:Zaku]] has already been working on a ? Block page: you can see it [[User:Zaku/Sandbox#?_Block_locations|here]]. You might want to ask him before you go any further. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 23:52, February 9, 2023 (EST)

FYI "it's" with an apostrophe is short for "it is", and "its" with none is the possessive form of "it" (so "its owner" is correct, not "it's owner"). Also, avoid adding file links for images that haven't been uploaded yet; they should be uploaded first, then displayed on the page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:21, February 10, 2023 (EST)

::Hi, good work with the item location pages so far. I wanted to make sure you're aware you can use the same picture for multiple different items. What I mean for example, is a Question Block floating directly above a Not-Bottomless Hole, or a Collectible Treasure that comes from a Question Block. Those entries can share the same image, which should be more efficient and take less resources. It isn't always the best choice if there is alot of information on screen, but it is something you can do. {{User:Zaku/sig}} 12:19, February 15, 2023 (EST)

:::Hey Mid188, first of all you've done a great job helping with the ? Block page and also filling out the other two item location pages for PMTOK. Regarding the Great Sea and the Shangri-Spa Toad Statues, I actually plan to use the map Captain T. Ode gives to Mario to denote where each statue must be found and interacted with, as well as briefly describe where on each island. Perhaps this warrants it having multiple entries but regardless it is a unique case. {{User:Zaku/sig}} 12:45, March 7, 2023 (EST)

::::I've added the reformatted tables to your work on the [[List of Collectible Treasures in Paper Mario: The Origami King]]! All that's left is to reformat the [[Not-Bottomless Hole]] page (which should be the simplest) and transfer them to the individual pages.  ^>^ It's been a pleasure working with you. {{User:Zaku/sig}} 20:41, March 8, 2023 (EST)

== RE: RPG lists question. ==

I think lists of ? Blocks would be useful regardless if the games have counters or not. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:10, November 17, 2023 (EST)

The black border isn't necessary. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:30, November 18, 2023 (EST)

Why does it need to be that resolution? It's not the original game's resolution and doing that just stretches out the image. [[:File:Mushroom Way Treasure 1 (Cropped).png|This cropped version]] is good. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:51, November 18, 2023 (EST)

The screenshots should be accurate to the game's original resolution. If you're unable to get original-res images yourself, that's fine, upload what you have, but don't revert the ones that are already on the wiki. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:13, November 24, 2023 (EST)

I think the Hidden Treasures list should be a standalone rather than merged together with the non-hidden treasure boxes. It's more helpful and direct for readers who just want the locations for the Hidden Treasures. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:37, November 25, 2023 (EST)

One [[List of treasure boxes in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]] page for the non-hidden treasure boxes, separate from the already existing list on [[Hidden Treasure]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:27, November 25, 2023 (EST)

Yes, exactly like that. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:19, November 25, 2023 (EST)

Hope you don't mind if I insert myself into this, I just want to say I think the newly created list of Treasure Boxes should take the remake into account such as using the new names and also including images from said version. All Treasure Box locations in the remake and what they give are exactly the same as the original (though two of the weapons from the [[Six-Door Chamber]] are switched), so making a list page for that version as well would just be redundant. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 11:31, November 26, 2023 (EST)
:If you're also going to play [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]], I may have another idea for something I've wanted for quite a while but can't do myself. The [[Mushroom Ball]] article could use screenshots of their locations in the remake; some of them aren't 1:1 with their locations in the original. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:04, November 26, 2023 (EST)

There's no page for those special ? Blocks I don't believe. I think the list should be for the common blocks containing items (?, M, L) like the previous ''M&L'' games' lists, and can include the "switch" M/L/! Blocks and special ? Blocks as long as there's descriptions explaining how they differ. More special-function blocks like the Puzzle Blocks and those Empty Blocks can just have sections on their relevant articles and have a notice at the top of the relevant location section in the blocks list, e.g.:

:''For a list of Puzzle Sack blocks, see [[Puzzle Sack]].''

Body Slam Panels aren't blocks, so they'd just get a section on their own page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:13, January 26, 2024 (EST)

Just one screenshot is enough. The bottom screenshot would serve no purpose. As for the paperisation blocks, similar to above, they can be listed on the [[Paperize]] page (it can even be expanded to include other paperisable objects if necessary) and linked to on the blocks list page(s). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:37, February 5, 2024 (EST)

That doesn't seem necessary since they're basically the same thing across the museum. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:22, February 12, 2024 (EST)

The Dream Team block list is expectedly enormous. Recently there has been an effort to split large pages into smaller ones to reduce loading times on a page such as [[List of Super Paper Mario quotes by character (A–J)]]. I think it couldn't hurt to have the block list split up either, my primary idea is seperate pages for real world and dream world listings. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 20:47, April 6, 2024 (EDT)

If they're under the same counter, yes, I think it'd be more convenient to have them together. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:14, May 30, 2024 (EDT)

There was a [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/63#Rename_pages_with_the_full_Super_Mario_RPG:_Legend_of_the_Seven_Stars_title|proposal]] for something related to this, but I believe that only concerned titles with identifiers and not list pages. Maybe leave the title as it is for now but I can see why it should be moved to a different title (i.e. just "Super Mario RPG") if the page applies to both games, and something like that would require another proposal ([[List of shops in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], [[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars quotes]], and I think [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars level up progressions]] would be a similar case too). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:12, June 30, 2024 (EDT)

It seems Goombella refers to the forts with the Clefts and Bristles as "part of Shhwonk Fortress", which matches the UI and map, but the outdoor scenes between them and before the main fortress are the "path to" unlike what the UI and map say. Just go by Goombella's tattles as well for now for consistency and to avoid confusion for people browsing the website, but the inconsistency between the tattles and map/UI is something worth bringing up on the talk page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:17, July 22, 2024 (EDT)

Yes. Not all of those blocks containing items are ? Blocks, so the title isn't accurate. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:26, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

== TTYD NS items ==

Nice work with the item location images for the Mario RPGs. Was curious to know if you plan to upload images for the field items in the TTYD remake? --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 13:02, July 15, 2024 (EDT)
:No worries! Regarding the items obtainable on the field from other RPGs: the ones I can think of right now beyond SMRPG and TTYD would be the first Paper Mario and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. As for the remake items hidden on the field: if they exist and have already been listed in the location articles, then yes, they should have images for them. One thing to keep in mind would be the X-Naut Fortress crane game having new items that [[X-Naut Fortress#Post game items|appear only after reaching the post game]]. Hidden block images have already been uploaded by other users, so you don't have to worry about those. In any case, thanks! ‐‐[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 19:33, July 15, 2024 (EDT)
::Hi! Honestly, I didn't even consider the NPC items! If you want to add those with the regular items found on the ground, that's fine with me—I don't have a preference either way. Thanks again! --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 19:42, August 28, 2024 (EDT)

== Starpieces ==

hey I added 2 pics for the NS changed starpieces but they were already collected. do you have screen of those 2?

== RE: Help with the template ==

I'll actually tell you now that you should just use a standard wikitable format rather than the template. I talked with the admins and we agreed there was no benefit for templates like these ({{tem|appearances list}} is another example) since there's a chance users will rearrange rows or add new rows somewhere in the middle of the table, which would be very tedious in a template format since the numbers would have to be changed as well, so we're weeding them out. But if you want to just add the images to the existing template tables for the time being, I've made changes to the template; just add the following:

<pre>
|locationimage1=[[File:Example.png|200px]]
|locationimager1=[[File:Example.png|200px]]

|locationimage2=[[File:Example.png|200px]]
|locationimager2=[[File:Example.png|200px]]
</pre>

{{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:05, October 6, 2024 (EDT)

Again, if you're adding new tables, use the "wikitable" code instead of the {{tem|RPG item locations}} template. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 12:08, October 11, 2024 (EDT)

:Basically code without the use of templates, yes, [[Special:Diff/4393735|like this]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:41, October 11, 2024 (EDT)

== Paper Mario TTYD Screenshots ==

I noticed you did a lot of uploads for ''[[Paper Mario RPG]]'', like [[List of treasure chests in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]. I believe you were using {{wp|Dolphin (emulator)}}. I suggest redoing them. There was a change a few months ago that makes taking screenshots much better. I have it documented [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox#GCN/Wii|here]]. '''Raw Internal Resolution''' is the big change that allows for the kind of [[Special:ListFiles/Wildgoosespeeder|screenshots I am uploading]] much more easily than [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox/outdated#GCN/Wii|before]]. [https://github.com/Zephiles/TTYD-Practice-Codes TTYD Practice Codes] This will also save you a bunch of time having to play the game over again.
