== RE: Nominating a character article to be a FA ==

So back on March 6, I [https://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Featured_articles/N/Dr._Crygor nominated a character article] to be featured on this very wiki. But as of today, it has not gotten any single response aside from mine. What is up with that?

==Mario Movie Gallery Question==
Hi there, [[User:Marino13|This user]] threatened to report me if I undo their edits. It stemmed from a misunderstanding over at the [[Gallery:The Super Mario Bros. Movie|Mario Mover Gallery]]. It truly was not my intention to cause any trouble, I'm just doing my best to clarify the context of the art. Hope everything can be sorted out!

== Help with Images ==

Hello, I should have been more specific. I don't know how to get the images from my Switch to my laptop. - [[User:Luigi 1837]]

Thank you! I didn't know about the function. - [[User:Luigi 1837]]

Hello, can you please help me? I'm trying to make the [[Minecraft]] Blocks and Items list into a gallery with all of the images, but I'm having trouble making it. How can I do it? - [[User:Luigi 1837]]

Thank you for the info! I'll firstly finish uploading all of the images I have and then I'll go though them and add the licensing and other info. Another thing, should I get images for the characters too? - [[User:Luigi 1837]] P.S.- By any chance do you know how to change the background color of user pages, because I've been wanting to change my user pages background color, but don't know how to.
:I believe there are images for the characters in Minecraft already, and as for your userpage color I'm not sure how to do that either. You should probably ask someone who has done that with their userpage. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 12:27, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

That's good, because it would be a painful process of going through them and adding the licensing and categories, I'll ask about the coloring to someone else. I'm not sure if the character images are uploaded, because they've been asked for in the spotlight. Thanks for the help! -[[User:Luigi 1837]] P.S. Is there by any chance a way to upload multiple images at once or is it only possible by doing one at a time?

Sorry, if I have broken a rule or something! I didn't realize I had broken a rule. I thought it would be easier to just upload the images first and then go through and add the categories. I'm still new to the wiki, so I'm really sorry for breaking a rule! I'm going to ask you now about the descriptions, do I have to fill them in also or can I just fill in the licensing and categories? I don't want to break another rule. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]
:The descriptions should be filled in too (wasn't sure if there was a reminder template relating to that as well), and any parameters that you won't use can be removed. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:39, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

And does the artist section have to be filled too or not, because I don't know who to wright in it. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]
:If it's an in-game screenshot, then the parameter can be removed. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:46, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

:Sorry, can you please explain what did you mean with removing the parameter, and does it have to be removed? And sorry, but I still didn't understand what I need to wright in the parameter. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]
: Can you please check if I've done the info and things on the images correctly, when you've got time, Thanks! I'll be uploading the last images tomorrow, then making the gallery. I'm really sorry again for breaking a rule by mistake! -[[User:Luigi 1837]]
:The three edits I did on the images just now show what I mean. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 16:30, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'll make the changes tomorrow. -[[User:Luigi 1837]]

== My featured article nom. ==

== Question ==

Hey, I was just going to ignore this and I already message Waluigi Time about it, but this [[User:Marino13|user]] is making backhanded comments about me and I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation. It started when they deleted a message off my talk page that I simply reverted as I want to respect that messages should not be removed from talk pages. I haven't been on much because of other commitments so I simply said on my user page I wasn't editing much. Now every time I made small edits such as in the gallery for [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]] , [[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User:Marino13&curid=200372&diff=3911137&oldid=3885397]]they [[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Gallery:Mario_%2B_Rabbids_Sparks_of_Hope&diff=prev&oldid=3911130]]are [[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=John_Leguizamo&diff=prev&oldid=3910000]]using edit summaries to call me out on this, when I feel I have not done anything pernsonal to them except ask politely to not remove messages from my talk page. Thanks for your time.

== Re: Merge templates ==

As i'm not as active as i once was, nor do i check up on pages that regularly, i couldn't know about that proposal. Thanks for letting me know. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 04:13, July 3, 2023 (EDT)

==Re:Move templates==
I'm sorry, but some of these are either policy-driven or self-evident, and thus don't require much of any discussion to begin with, just routine second-guessing the information present in the articles. All it does is slow down or obfuscate sensible moves that would have been made a while ago by editors more familiar with those subjects. What happens if discussion stalls anyway? We just leave certain outstanding changes to obscurity? I don't really get it since the meta category templates were hidden for a reason, I presume. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:18, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:The proposal didn't account for any exceptions, so either there's a discussion somewhere or the template doesn't go on the page, simple as that. The template gets removed if said discussion is deemed inactive. If anyone more familiar with these subjects comes across these and wants to move them, then it would be up to them to bring it up in the talk page and put the template on the article. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:34, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::I need a little more clarification. Are you saying it's necessary for every article that dropped those templates to have their discussions (re)opened? That's not what I'm seeing in the proposal. It's just about the use of the templates. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:47, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:::Yes it is. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:54, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::::I'm going to ask the proposer about it, then, because I simply do not see that explanation in the proposal. If that was within the scope of the proposal and I was aware of it, I would have been vehemently against it, for the reasons I've outlined.

== Re:Super Mario World 2 Italian names ==

Either it was LOOONG time ago (back when I took it more lightly), or I have no idea what you're talking about. The most recent mistake is maybe the [[Sluggy]], which I just recalled badly was named "Peluria", but then I rechecked the game footage of SMA3 and Kamek was like "Let's see how you deal with this "Sguscio"." which I then fixed. Any examples of this, for references? {{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 08:46, August 26, 2023 (EDT)

:I made some tiny digging: no, the few times I added Italian names for the enemies that appeared in SMW2YI, I did use the names from other games (YIDS, YNI, YWW and YCW) nothing invented. Might have been two tiny cases in the past (something like "well, we have [[Skeleton Goonie|Skeletro Gabby]] and [[Flightless Goonie|Gabby senz'ali]] so of course the "[[Flightless Skeleton Goonie]]" must be "Skeletro Gabby senz'ali" even tho it isn't written anywhere else." [I tended to mix Wiki's and Wikia's less strict rules]), but those have been rolledback due to lack of official references.

== Renders ==

Hey there, I saw Yoshi and Blue Toad's infobox images updated with renders that hold a Red Shell. Is the policy correct in that the images should be just the character if possible? I know Nabbit's was updated for Wonder though he is holding a mushroom, I don't want to engage with reverting Yoshi's and Blue Toad's pages anymore to not cause an edit war, and thought bringing it up could help resolve this, thanks!

[[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 21:37, October 23, 2023 (EDT)
:I don't mind using the images of them holding the red shells for the same reason Doc von Schmeltwick said about Nabbit with the mushroom, that the red shell is an iconic item throughout the Mario franchise and doesn't really specialise the game in any way. The rule about items only really applies if said item is specifically for the game or series such as sports gear or the ''Mario + Rabbids'' weapons. Luigi's SMBW artwork however I think is a hard no since that shows him using the Parachute Cap ability which is exclusive to the game, and Luigi's hat is never that big. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 05:26, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

== WarioWare Renders ==

Hey, quick question, some renders for the WarioWare characters (specifically [[Jimmy T]], [[18-Volt]], [[Dribble & Spitz]], and [[13-Amp]], had new renders for Move It! but got reverted. Do you think the renders are fine or should the renders from Get it Together stay there for now? I think the Move It renders are fine but would rather not edit war about them. Thanks! I also let Ray Trace know but thought it wouldn't hurt to spread the question around.

:I've never played any of the WarioWare games so I'm not too sure how to go about this one. I don't even know if these characters do have a consistant design. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 10:37, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

::I just remember Dr. Crygor having a different design every game and Mona wearing a different outfit every game, and their infoboxes were updated consistently per game. I don't see a reason not to use the new Move It renders with that knowledge. I thinks its an IP account that reverted but I'm not sure if a discussion should be made first. I do know that Jimmy T's render was used on the new website Nintendo of Japan made for the WarioWare series in general.

== Enemy Profile ==

Hello Swallow. Thank you for your tip about Italic text. I have a question. When I look at the enemies and bosses that appear in Mario RPG titles, there are enemy profiles that contain information like HP, Defense, Weaknesses etc. I was wondering, how do you make one of those? --[[User:Darksouless1|Darksouless1]] ([[User talk:Darksouless1|talk]]) 11:01, November 20, 2023 (EST)
:I'm no expert on the subject, but several Super Mario RPG enemy articles already do have a stat table for the remake which is taken directly from the game's monster list. You could just copy and paste the code from those tables and change what's in the table itself to fit the article you're putting it into. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 11:23, November 20, 2023 (EST)

== On the lookalikes proposal ==

We saw that proposal passed, and in the archive, it's marked as done; however, we did notice a few pages are currently present in the categories that we did mention in our tremendous breakdown. So um, here we be, to ask if it's fine if we cull the following:
* Every instance of a shapeshifter should be moved to the shapeshifter category if they aren't there already. (e.g. [[Shadoo]], [[Belome]], or Ditto)
* Every instance of a clone that can look(a)like anybody, not just one character, should be moved to clones (e.g. [[Bubble Clone]] or [[Imposter]])
* Fighting Polygons
* [[Gold Mini Mario]] from Mario
* Luigi should be removed from Mario's category.
* Wario should be removed from Mario's category.
* Waluigi should be removed from Luigi's category.
* [[Bowser Suit]] from Bowser
* [[King Boo]] from Bowser
* [[Koopa Zombie]] from Bowser
* [[Wooden cutout]] from Bowser and Peach
* [[Princess Shroob]] from Peach
* [[Funky Kong]] from DK
* [[Super Kong]] from DK
* [[Swanky Kong]] from DK
* ...and we might literally give [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]] his own proposal sometime in the near future, because as we've mentioned, he drives us insane to think about.
Is it alright with you if we remove these from the lookalikes categories? {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 12:41, December 28, 2023 (EST)
:I think all of those should be ommited from the lookalikes categories (just pointing out Belome is not a shapeshifter but creates clones of the playable characters to fight alongside him). {{User:Swallow/sig}} 12:50, December 28, 2023 (EST)
::Oh, our bad! Admittedly, we're not ''too'' familiar with Belome's fight, so those just kinda melded in our brain with the 2,763 other redirects for bosses that are proper shapeshifters (cough cough [[Shadoo]]). <s>we also blame the between christmas-and-new years brainfog</s>. While we're here though, we should also probably ask about [[Cursed Mini Mario]], seeing as we forgot to bring him up initially and figure he's probably safe to remove if [[Gold Mini Mario]] also got the boot; after all, what makes him "Cursed" is the monkey robot, which um. Is not resembling Mario by any means. ;P {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 14:12, December 28, 2023 (EST)

:Hi, I unknowingly added a few of these back to their categories, not realizing there was a proposal about this. Sorry about that. The discussion pages for the various lookalike categories were mostly empty and I only realized I had rolled back on previous users' edits when two of mine were tagged as manual reverts. I'm not very familiar with how proposals are done here so it took me a while to find this page. I'm also completely new to using talk pages, so you'll have to bear with me here.

:Can someone direct me to the breakdown where all of this is explained? I think it would be good if the category pages themselves made it clear what exactly qualifies as a "lookalike". I don't really see the issue with a clone also being considered a lookalike, or with characters like Luigi, [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], or the [[Koopa Zombie]]s being included, as the categories are quite small and don't seem likely to become overly cluttered to me. Also, to what extent can inanimate objects be considered lookalikes? [[:Category:Bowser lookalikes]] contains several statues, including ones that don't move at all, so should the [[Papercraft]] versions of characters from [[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|Paper Jam]] count as well?

:Category:Bowser lookalikes also includes [[False Bowser]] from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], so should the other Shadow Bug versions of characters from that game (Mario, Luigi, and Peach) also count?

:It should also be noted that [[Shadoo]] isn't a shapeshifter, but an unseen character who creates clones for the player to fight. Don't know if they should be in [[:Category:Clones]] or if each of their page redirects (Dark Mario, Dark Peach, etc.) should be added to the category instead.

::[[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/64#Rework the "lookalikes" categories|This is the proposal in question]].{{User:Swallow/sig}} 05:48, February 6, 2024 (EST)
::The proposal called for shapeshifters to be exempt and also to exclude Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. I'm not familiar with Super Smash Bros. Brawl at all but it does look like the False characters could qualify, along with the papercrafts. I may also need to give some thought to Shadoo's clones. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 06:03, February 6, 2024 (EST)

:::Okay, thanks, I think that proposal cleared some stuff up for me. I went ahead and added the Papercrafts, as well as False Peach from Brawl. Both her and False Bowser appear in cutscenes and play a role in the story of Subspace Emissary to some extent. The rest of the False Characters (including False Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong) are fought near the end of the game, are only seen in gameplay, and look different from the False Characters that appear in earlier cutscenes. These False Characters are instances of clones that can look like (almost) anybody in the game, so I didn't add them to Mario's, [[:Category:Luigi lookalikes|Luigi's]], or [[:Category:Donkey Kong lookalikes|Donkey Kong's]] lookalike categories.

:::Although Shadoo's clones can be considered an instance of "clones that can look like anybody", I'm not sure they should be removed from the lookalike categories. There's only four playable characters in the game, and the [[Cosmic Clone]]s as well as [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Mario/Luigi]] are both considered to be lookalikes, despite copying both playable characters.

:::[[Bowser Jr.]] resembles [[Baby Bowser]] more than [[Koopa Kid]] does, so I think he should remain in Category:Bowser lookalikes.

:::I'm considering editing the category pages to specify that "lookalikes" have to be intentionally and heavily designed after the characters which they resemble, and should include "doppelgangers" and "copies" of characters. Does that sound right to you?

:::Also, something interesting to consider are Mario Bros-esque characters like [[Cork and Cask]], the [[Starshade Bros.]], the [[Hammerhead Bros.]], and the [[Big Massif|Massif]] [[Lil' Massif|Bros.]] Although they don't really fit into [[:Category:Mario lookalikes]] or Category:Luigi lookalikes individually (Cork, Sledge, General Starshade, and Big Massif don't look much like Mario on their own, while Cask, Mallet, Sergeant Starshade, and Lil' Massif also don't look much like Luigi), as pairs they are definitely still meant to resemble the Mario Bros. Maybe they have a place in the general [[:Category:Lookalikes|lookalikes category]]? [[User:TyGuy24|TyGuy24]] ([[User talk:TyGuy24|talk]]) 02:02, February 8, 2024 (EST)

== Category:Thieves cleanup ==

There's been a lot of impetus to clean up categories lately, hasn't there? One I think could use a look at is [[:Category:Thieves]]. Right now, it's not in the greatest state. It's an odd mix of occupational thieves and villians who steal as part of their greater evil plans. Not to mention we have all seven Koopalings ''and'' the general [[Koopalings]] page in there — why not just include [[:Category:Koopalings]] as a subcategory? There was [[Category talk:Thieves|brief talk of cleanup from late 2017 through early 2018]], though no action was made on it. I agree with Doc von Schmeltwick's suggestion of trimming the definition to just chronic and/or occupational thieves, though. [[User:SolemnStormcloud|SolemnStormcloud]] ([[User talk:SolemnStormcloud|talk]]) 12:26, January 8, 2024 (EST)
:Saw Antasma there almost immediately and yeah, this may need sorting out too. Best idea would be characters who commonly act as thieves like Croco, Popple and Ms Mowz, though I'm not sure how we are going to go about this. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 16:43, January 8, 2024 (EST)

== Elemental category stuff ==

Hey, I noticed you implementing that SMRPG category proposal, and that makes sense, but I feel like some of these removals feel a bit overcorrect-ish. I mean, the original elemental category proposal had an exception for stuff like Bowser being associated with fire due to his fire breath, but then you have [[Muckle]], which only attacks with ice, is resistant to ice, and drops an ice-related item, and it was removed from [[:Category:Ice creatures]]. Same with [[Bahamutt]] being removed from [[:Category:Fire creatures]]. I'm not sure how to end this comment, sorry, I guess, would it be okay to re-add those? [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 14:28, January 15, 2024 (EST)
:I didn't want to have anything that could be arbitrary about this (e.g if enemies had resistances or used a lot of those types of attacks), so I'd still rather have the categories ommited from those for the sake of caution. I left fire creatures on Czar Dragon since it is made of Lava Babbles. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:53, January 15, 2024 (EST)

== New Soup redirects ==

I mean, since RelaxAlax started calling those games 'New Soup,' which was 6 or 7 years ago, a lot of people started calling those games that as well.

== I need a page deleted. ==

Hello! I uploaded a MP4 media file recently that I meant to use as a video clip. However, it was uploaded as an audio file and not a video file. I then converted it to a GIF and attempted to upload a new version of the file, only for the wiki to stop me with an error message. I would like for the file that I uploaded (and its corresponding page) to be deleted, as the file is useless now that I have it as a GIF. Once the file is deleted, I will upload my GIF file. Please delete the page as soon as possible. The page is File:PPS Transformation Cutscene.mp4. I already contacted {{User|Mario|Mario}} about this, but I have gotten no response.

== Re: Palace of Shadow Pipe ==

So in my experience, I lost to the Shadow Queen and when I went to retry from my previous save (which was just outside of the Palace of Shadow Depths), the pipe appeared there when I started the file up. It's located at the bottom of the staircase in the same part of the room where the Save Block is located and it leads to the entrance room, a short ways from the Thousand Year Door. And I can confirm it definitely did appear there before I defeated the Shadow Queen. I think it appears after the first time you fight the Shadow Queen, regardless of whether you win or lose the fight. {{User:Tails777/sig}}

== Sentence fragments with periods ==

Hello [[User:Nightwicked Bowser|Nightwicked Bowser]], so I have noticed several pages in the Wiki with sentence fragments, which is fine, but several of them have periods at the end, these are unnecessary periods that need to be removed, such as describing images with extra details in the gallery section in pages, or describing images not in the gallery, the reason these need to be removed is because they are used in not full sentences, unlike long paragraphs. {{User:C11P/sig}} 05:30, June 2, 2024 (EDT)

== Snoutlet and "Pig" Category ==

Howdy! Maybe this warrants a wider discussion on the wiki, but my impression of the categories for real-like subjects, like animals, is that they are largely used for denotating primary design influences. So while [[Snoutlet]] is not a pig in a canonical sense, I think they should still be in the Pig category due to their name across all languages, that fact that Snoutlet feels inclined to specify that they are not a pig due to the apparent physical resemblance, and the fact that it appears to be based on a piggy bank (even with a coin slot-like indentation on its back) would indicate it its design deliberately derives from pigs as much as something like the [[Pig Head Statue]], [[Piggy Bank]], and [[Poink]], which are appropriately in the Pig category. What do you think? - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 21:28, June 23, 2024 (EDT)
:I thought the category was used for subjects that actually are of that species, so categorising Snoutlet as a pig despite saying they're not one seemed a bit contradictory. I think we should wait until it gets closer to release and we know a lot more about Snoutlet, 'cause for now that one line of dialogue is all we know. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 03:32, June 24, 2024 (EDT)

== Overhaul of item lists. ==

So, as you know I have been adding Block pages onto the wiki. Not too long ago, I finished with adding remake stuff from PMTTYD. Now I decided to overhaul ALL item pages (regarding the RPGs only) and already done the parts concerning descriptions, Statistics and See also sections. Now I want to do the Location sections themselves. My idea is to change the table to look the same as on the pages for The Origami King. I have already done three pages on my sandbox, so could you check it out? Afterwards, tell me if you prefer the originals (what is on pages now) or what I have done (on sandbox).

Also regarding some pages (mostly hidden stuff like Hidden Treasure or Hidden Blocks), should I also do it in the sections (same as the two other pages on the sandbox) or keep it as it is and just change the table?

Thanks in advance.--[[User:Mid188|Mid188]] ([[User talk:Mid188|talk]]) 05:53, August 3, 2024 (EDT)
:I think the designs in your sandboxes would make navigation in mobile view a bit easier. The hidden treasure tables probably can be kept as they are since there aren't as many of those. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 16:06, August 3, 2024 (EDT)

== Incomplete bestiaries? ==

Hi, thank you for correcting my edit on the [[Ice (element)|ice element]]. I was using this wiki's bestiary for ''Color Splash'' as a reference, and if you are indeed correct then it means that there are some missing info on the page. ''Partners in Time'' feels a bit lacking too compared to how in-depth the one for ''Superstar Saga'' is. Just wanted to let you know, I don't have access to either game at the moment and can't directly test that myself, so I have to rely on second hand information and YouTube videos. Thanks again for this great wiki. [[Special:Contributions/93.23.12.108|93.23.12.108]] 13:53, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

== Apology for the proposal ==

I assumed that due to it not disallowing me from creating a discussion page, as it does when attempting to add a proposal on the main Proposals board, that it would be fine to do add one while being a new user. I will not do that again [[User:Wario World|Wario World]] ([[User talk:Wario World|talk]])

== Calavera ==

Hey, Rabbid Yoshi is not always in battles with Calavera. There are certain instances where a normal rabbid will be used. In this video (and in other ones as well) https://youtu.be/756O8sl_ocg?si=tO66g0O-bIuNYYWW, Calavera is seen holding a regular rabbid.

== Important question ==

I had to cancel [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/68#Add the TabberNeue extension|a proposal I made on adding the TabberNeue extension]] because it violated Rule #7. If the [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/68#Remove remaining uses of tabber|last proposal]] that [[User:Waluigi Time|Waluigi Time]] created on removing the remaining uses of tabber passed yesterday, August 15, 2024, and Rule #7 does not allow proposals to overturn the decision of a previous proposal that is '''4 weeks''' ('''28 days''') old, when can I make another proposal on adding the TabberNeue extension? {{User:GuntherBayBeee/sig}} 15:59, August 16, 2024 (EDT)

== Something doesn't make.... ==

== Ninji revert ==

Hey, so I noticed you reverted my edit, saying we use the latest game artwork. However, the article for Fly Guys has Mario Portal artwork in the infobox over ''Yoshi's Crafted World'' and ''Mario Party 8'', so I'm a bit confused. Could you please tell me where I'd find the rule where we use latest game artwork?
Thanks in advance, {{User:DryBonesBandit/sig}} 09:24, September 3, 2024 (EDT)
:On [[Template:Character infobox]]. I believe the Fly Guy article uses that image because its' the only official artwork with a single Fly Guy and not game specialised which the Yoshi's Crafted World artwork falls under. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 09:30, September 3, 2024 (EDT)

== Redirect ==

Hey, so I was going to move the [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa]] page to simply "Unshelled Koopa" per [[MarioWiki:Naming]], but there's a redirect in the way of that. I was wondering if you were able to delete the redirect so I could finish the move. {{User:DryBonesBandit/sig}} 06:46, September 19, 2024 (EDT)

== Field and given items in RPGs. ==

So, when I was adding stuff to the item lists from the RPGs, a user named Zootalo asked me if I was gonna do the items which can be found on the field. After much consideration, I decided to do it and to make it one step further, also add items given by NPCs. Since SMRPG locations didn't have tables for all items, I decided to do them myself. I just finished with playing both original and remake. Now, I just need to upload images and then move the tables to their appropriate pages.

So, the reason why I'm writing here, could you check my Sandbox first to find anything to be changed before I start uploading images? Your help here will help me when I'll continue to do the same to the games in Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series after a brief break.

Thanks in advance. --[[User:Mid188|Mid188]] ([[User talk:Mid188|talk]]) 11:22, September 24, 2024 (EDT)

*So, I did it anyways and now I have questions: Should I just copy and paste the tables I have now on my Sandbox into the pages or change '''Template:RPG item locations''' to include one (2 if game has a remake) more paragraph so that screenshots can be added? This is what I mean:

{{RPG item locations
|item1=
|image1=
|location1=
}}

into this (the change is unfortunately only visible if you look through the source editor):

{{RPG item locations
|item1=
|image1=
|location1=
|screenshot1=
|screenshot remake1=
}}

== Deleted Sticker Star Toad article ==

Hi. Sorry to bug you, but I think I noticed a pattern in article creation that I think I should ask an admin about. There are a few more conjectural Sticker Star Toad articles on the wiki than I remember seeing in the past. This is relevant because back in June/July 2020 (or around then) I made one such article, for a Toad in [[Outlook Point]] who offers information for [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)]]. It was deleted for being just too darned minor and nameless, and therefore in violation of [[MarioWiki:Minor NPCs]]. However, in the present, with [[Swindler Toad]], [[Crybaby Toad]], [[Attack Piece Toad]], and [[Lookout Toad]] existing, I think there may be cause to revisit the topic. I have the old article on my computer, I think it was the most recent text before deletion. Would the wiki mind if I just reuploaded it with no changes or is that a bad idea? I don't especially want to make a second pass on the prose right now because I'm tunneling on Super Mario Run, but if I have to I'll think about doing so in late December.

So I keep remembering how to sign my comments, but then users still keep blocking me.
