== Please add a link to the personality quiz you created.  ==

Please add a link to the personality quiz you created. Also, all options and outcomes of the quiz should be covered on the page itself. You can use [[Super Mario Odyssey Fun Personality Quiz|this page]] as reference. [[User:Axii|Axii]] ([[User talk:Axii|talk]]) 23:22, November 17, 2024 (EST)

Alright, I added the questions and outcomes. I'm not exactly sure how to link to the quiz, though, as I am not entirely sure how adding references works and the only link I can find is [http://cdn1.edgedatg.com/tml/apps/dnow/games/games/game-nintendo-quiz/1.0.4/index.html a re-upload] that has not been archived by the Wayback Machine. [[User:Nelsonic|Nelsonic]] ([[User talk:Nelsonic|talk]]) 12:20, November 18, 2024 (EST)

It would help a lot if you added the link to the Flash game on the image file and game pages, so readers know where the information comes from (and that they're official). [[MarioWiki:Citations]] explains how to cite an external source if you're using it as a reference, or you can add an "External links" section at the bottom of the article with the link. For file pages, just add the link in the "2=" parameter in the aboutfile summary. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:35, November 24, 2024 (EST)

== Image categories ==

When adding categories to images, they should always be <code><nowiki>[[Category:(Game title) images]]</nowiki></code> 

Categories that don't end in "images" or "media files" like [[:Category:Browser games]] do not go on file pages; they're for articles only. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:29, November 18, 2024 (EST)

Again, don't add "Browser games" as an image category. The image category should be "Category:(game) images" (''without'' the parentheses - replace "(game)" with the game title). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:18, November 18, 2024 (EST)

If you create a new game image category, make sure it gets the category [[:Category:Game images]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:10, November 21, 2024 (EST)

== Moving files ==

After moving a file, make sure to update its names on any articles linking to them (listed under "File usage" on the file page), then mark the old name for deletion with {{tem|delete}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:25, November 26, 2024 (EST)

==Thanks==

{{WikiLove L for Winner}}	

I just wanted to thank you on your coverage towards flash games almost nobody has heard of. Those could've gone under the radar, especially the iQue WarioWare ones. I also want to thank you for being one of the people who inspired me to join the wiki and make my first edit on a talk page so I could document Banpresto arcade games I discovered.

And one more thing, a confession. I didn't actually play Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Joke Spinner. I just saw Supper Mario Broth's article about the game and saw that as an opportunity to write a whole page with the information he had because I thought that was all that was available. (Sorry if that was edit-sniping). And then you told me about FEkids and that lead to a whole other discovery. Thanks for everything.

[[User:Rykitu|Rykitu]] ([[User talk:Rykitu|talk]]) December 11th, 2024

You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to inspire you to join the wiki, as well. I guess my endless Wayback Machine doom-scrolling is paying off. I'm not really in a position to say whether or not that's edit sniping (I literally just googled the term haha), but I'm sure it's all right. If you would like to play [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Joke Spinner]], the archived version from FEKids is available [https://web.archive.org/web/20051212143403/http://www.fekids.com:80/kln/games/MarioAndLuigi/MarioAndLuigiJokeSpinner.swf here].

== [[Mario Golf blaster]] ==

What is the context behind this name you chose? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:01, December 26, 2024 (EST)

Certain early 2000s promotional games such as this were referred to as such, either because the content was marketed towards a large audience (similar to [https://www.dynamicyield.com/glossary/promotional-email-blast/ promotional email blasts]) or because the game itself was quite short (metaphorically "blasting" the viewer with a ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' promotion).

== Aboutfile template ==

{{aboutfile-reminder}}
Hiya! Awesome work on your recent uploads, but the "aboutfile" template must be used. You're removing the template and providing the necessary information on its own. Check my edit [https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:MobileDiff/4474870 here] for a reference - I put the information in the correct parameters of the "aboutfile" template. Thanks so much! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 16:35, December 27, 2024 (EST)

Got it. Thanks for letting me know. I will try and use the template correctly for future uploads. [[User:Nelsonic|Nelsonic]] ([[User talk:Nelsonic|talk]]) 16:36, December 27, 2024 (EST)

I am confused about something, though. On the upload page it says "The text in the summary box is preloaded syntax for the aboutfile template, which must be formatted correctly or removed before uploading". Is this stating that the ''placeholder'' text should be removed, or is it stating that the entire template should be removed? I assume it is the former, though I thought I should ask for clarification. [[User:Nelsonic|Nelsonic]] ([[User talk:Nelsonic|talk]]) 16:42, December 27, 2024 (EST)
:The placeholder text (for example, "Subject of the image") must be removed and replaced with a description of the image, like <code><nowiki>The logo for ''[[Bowser's Diary Quiz]]'', an HTML quiz available on the Paper Mario website.</nowiki></code>. There are five parameters, each with their own section:

*"Subject of the image" is for describing what the image is.
*"Where you found the image" describes the source of where the image was found.
*"Artist" is for artwork and music. List the artist(s) involved with the image.
*"Describe edits, if any" is for whatever modifications you made to the image, such as cropping.
*"Other versions (use file link)" is to link to files similar to the image (like character artwork with a different background"

Not all parameters have to be used. Simply remove the ones you don't need! Hope this helps! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 16:49, December 27, 2024 (EST)

Ah, got it. Thanks! [[User:Nelsonic|Nelsonic]] ([[User talk:Nelsonic|talk]]) 16:51, December 27, 2024 (EST)

== Re: Dr. Health'nstein's Body Fun Bundle ==

Hi! One of the pages you have created, [[Dr. Health'nstein's Body Fun Bundle]], has been considered for deletion, if not merge/redirect to the main article (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Numbers) due to the page falling out of scope of coverage for the wiki. If you have any comments to add, you can do so at [[Talk:Dr. Health'nstein's Body Fun Bundle]]. {{User:Mario/sig}} 18:53, January 2, 2025 (EST)

Alright, thanks for letting me know. [[User:Nelsonic|Nelsonic]] ([[User talk:Nelsonic|talk]]) 19:02, January 2, 2025 (EST)

-== More flash games on Waluigi.com ==
-I was looking through the comment section on a video discussing the history of [[Waluigi]], which had an entire segment talking about the very infamous [[Waluigi's Foot Fault]] and I found some new information regarding the other swf files found in the websites data. According to the comment, Deface Painting was about graffiti spraying Mario, Luigi and Peach's faces, and Paint the Lines was about a robot painting the lines of the tennis court in the colors of Wario and Waluigi. Here's the video:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kbUyHJBrRnQ&pp=ygUUd2FsdWlnaSdzIGZvb3QgZmF1bHQ%3D and the comment was written by someone named GuineaPigDan. You won't have to scroll down far to find it. {{User:Rykitu/sig}}
