It's just a BoN acting retarded, don't talk to it. We have had several BoNs act exactly like this, all they do is spam the history section of articles, really. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 21:58, 20 May 2015 (EDT) | It's just a BoN acting retarded, don't talk to it.

Hello. May i recommend that when you upload a file, instead of leaving empty sections that you delete them altogether? Just a suggestion :) [[File: | Hello.

Thanks. In the future, you can also use [[MarioWiki: | Thanks. In the future, you can also use [[MarioWiki:Admin noticeboard]] to report any instances of vandalism to the entire admin staff. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:36, 4 May 2017 (EDT) | ||

:From what I noticed, this is just for uploads that create a new file page. I think I synced up everything. This response comes from [[User:Porplemontage/talk archive 1101-1200#RE: Images|this conversation]] and [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive | :From what I noticed, this is just for uploads that create a new file page.

This response comes from [[User:Porplemontage/talk archive 1101-1200#RE: Images|this conversation]] and [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 45#Implement Reminder Template About Categorizing Images By Game|this proposal]]. Also, I noticed [[:File:SoupSpicy.PNG]] and [[:File:Spicy Soup TTYD.png]]. For this kind of case, better to just [[Special:MovePage/File:SoupSpicy.PNG|move]] if the file needs a better name next time. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 15:06, 5 May 2017 (EDT) | ||
::Talk about a hard find. I was going to suggest looking in categories ([[:Category:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Images]]) and gallery pages ([[Gallery:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]), but the category is a pretty long list (probably worth a proposal/discussion about splitting up images into screenshots, sprites, maps, art, and other images universally across all image categories or if categories become saturated with 1,000+ images) and the gallery was linking to some ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' sprites at the time. You got me. You looked in as many obvious places as you could. Where was [[:File:SoupSpicy.PNG]] linked to? It surely was never linked on [[Spicy Soup]]. My guess is [[List of Zess T. recipes]]. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 02:00, 6 May 2017 (EDT) | ::Talk about a hard find.

::''Smash'' information can alternatively be determined on a case-by-case basis considering Pokey is definitely outdated, but I should point out that New Year's Eve is more accurate and the fan translation has a few minor oddities of its own. As for Tazmily Village, the proper name is used [[smashwiki:List of SSBB trophies (EarthBound series)#Notes|here]] and [[smashwiki:List of tips (SSBU)#Lucas|here]], so that would get priority. Anyway, Owencrazyboy9 mentions that the game's sound test indeed calls it ''EarthBound Beginnings''...though, we also have this particular line of naming policy: "''When mentioning subjects whose names have changed overtime, the newest name generally takes greater priority, except in the context of older media where they went by previous names, in which case those are used instead.''" Wouldn't that technically apply to the Underchomp article, since the name ''Mother'' was used in older ''Super Smash Bros.'' games and ''EarthBound Beginnings'' didn't exist in 2007?

:::Nipper Dandelion probably isn't the best example - even in Japan, the game is most commonly natively rendered as "''MOTHER''" instead of 「マザー」 (''Mazā''), and Nintendo of America used the title ''Mother'' up until the 2015 Wii U Virtual Console release. For all intents and purposes, it ''is'' an ''English'' title - what is ''isn't'' is a ''relocalized'' title, which is what ''EarthBound Beginnings'' is, and we generally count unlocalized English. It also begs the question of what to do with the existing ''Mother 3'' references over the years if and when an official "''EarthBound 2''" localization happens. Now in regards to Pokey: the pork association (his chubbiness, "Pig's Butt", the Pigmasks, Pig King, snout symbol), a boss and ''EarthBound'' sticker in ''Brawl'', and New Pork City with all its Porky puns and Porky's Theme returning in ''Ultimate'' make it pretty clear that it's Porky; if I were to hazard a guess, "Pokey" was either due to the pig connection not being as obvious in ''Mother 2'' or due to Nintendo being overly cautious at the time and wanting to avoid potential confusion or legal issues with another Porky. And as for Arachnid!!!, funny you should mention it: I'm convinced that the translator made a genuine mistake with that one because he also made the same error when transcribing it in his [https://legendsoflocalization.com/earthbound/enemies/ enemies comparison] and most likely lifted the text from there. Anyway, that naming policy proposal is just a little something I've been mulling over. I get that, as an RPG series, it'd be more convenient for the ''Mother 3'' names to remain as it is from the in-game fan translation. It should clear up things otherwise, though.
