Due to a recent [[Wario]] outbreak, {{wp|Twilight Sparkle}}, [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Sweetie_Belle#Unicorn Sweetie Belle], [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Trixie?so=search Trixie Lulamoon] and [https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Minuette Minuette] have used their unicorn magic to protect this page from any Wario-related threats. <sub>Except Boo Warios apparently...</sub></center>

== Italics ==

{{italics-reminder}}
Also, Super Effects like [[Fire]] (as well as "Super Effect" itself) are proper nouns and should be capitalised. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:29, November 25, 2022 (EST)

If you can't do this because your device uses curly apostrophes, you can change to straight apostrophes in your settings, or switch to desktop mode and click on the slanted "'''''<tt>I</tt>'''''" icon when typing game titles. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:07, November 25, 2022 (EST)

Just to clarify, it's two apostrophes on each side for game titles (''italicising''), and three on each side for the first mention of the subject in the article ('''bolding'''). {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:40, November 28, 2022 (EST)

== Templates and categories ==

When creating new articles, you should put any relevant templates and categories at the bottom of the page, I would suggest looking at other Sparks of Hope related pages to see which ones. You can see these more easily by going into the editing page on the last section. Also, regarding adding a quote on the [[Stone Mask]] page, you can use [[Template:Quote2]] to have the quote without automatic links and have Electroid pipe linked. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 10:24, November 28, 2022 (EST)

If you're making an article that's not reusing another article's layout and links, please remember to [[Special:Diff/3875518|add categories to the articles]] on your own. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:22, March 25, 2023 (EDT)

== Articles ==

Nice work on the articles! Just a few things, avoid using the Sparks' name every time as it can get repetitive, and try to substitute it occasionally with pronouns (so "it", unless their genders are confirmed in-game), and be aware of how you're linking articles ([[Poison]] alone is ambiguous and links to the disambiguation page; [[Poison (status effect)]] is the RPG status effect, so the correct link should be: <code><nowiki>[[Poison (status effect)|Ooze]]</nowiki></code>). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:14, November 30, 2022 (EST)

Also, don't '''bold''' image captions or anything that isn't the title of the article (like "'''Midnite's''' Memory"). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:23, December 24, 2022 (EST)

== M+RSOH articles ==

Hi! Just wanted to say that you've done a great job with the ''M+RSOH'' pages (especially with the creation of the other Sparks). Keep it up! --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 18:08, December 1, 2022 (EST)

== Replacement images ==

Just FYI, if you need to upload a new version of an existing image that's in the same image format, just click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the existing file page rather than uploading separately. And if you need to rename, click on the "move" tab at the top of the file page (though you need to be on desktop mode to access it). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:48, December 14, 2022 (EST)

== Beep-0 ==

Beep-0 is written with a zero, not the letter O. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:40, December 14, 2022 (EST)

== Message about tomorrow’s weather ==

Tomorrow I plan on covering more Darkmess Tentacle battles in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, starting with the Palette Prime ones, although there is going to be a very bad ice storm where I live. The power might go out, and I might be unable to create more pages while it’s out. Hopefully that won’t happen, I hope for the best conditions so that I can help out with more Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope pages. If I show no activity tomorrow, it’s because I lost power. [[User:Mason Popovich]] Thursday, December 22, 21:42 (EST)

== Italic title ==

When making pages which have the game as an identifier in the title, remember to put <nowiki>{{italic title|Article title (''game title'')}}</nowiki> at the top of the page so that the game is italicised in the title as well. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 11:58, January 25, 2023 (EST)

Oops. I forgot to do that when I made the lighthouse page earlier, as well as some others, sorry about that. I should always look to that when creating a page with the title in it. [[User:Mason Popovich]], Wednesday, January 25, 2023, 12:28 (EST)

== Glide ==

Just wondering if you're planning to make the article for Glide as well? If so, the redirect page can be edited and turned into the Sparks of Hope article without creating an entirely new page, and it won't need an identifier either. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 16:50, March 25, 2023 (EDT)

Well, I added a lot of Glide information on the page, so I think it would be safe to say that it wouldn't be worth it to give Glide its own page. I suppose that Glide could just simply redirect to Team Jump (Mario + Rabbids). Although I didn't intend to add in the gliding, it seemed to make sense with it being linked into Team Jump.

== Great work on the articles ==

Well done! ⭐ [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 01:08, April 11, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you so much! So much pressure is taken off now that all of the quests have articles. There's not much more to cover on ''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'', just a few more locations and other things and maybe some revisions.

- Mason Popovich, Tuesday, April 11, 2023, 10:05 (EST)

== Darkmess portal ==

A while back, I asked Porplemontage to run a bot changing the uppercase "p" to lowercase in Darkmess portal as the lowercase "p" is actually the official spelling used in-game (see the quote on top of the [[Darkmess portal]] article. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 19:36, September 6, 2023 (EDT)

Okay. I'm just so used to it being capital letters for both words. I'll make sure that's not the case going forward! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 7:37 PM, September 6, 2023 (EST)

== About my Snowball Yoshi proposal ==

The reason there was no comment section is that i was so focused on merging that i completely forgot about the comment section. I'd like to thank you for having fixed this for me. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:32, December 1, 2023 (EST)
:You're welcome! We all make mistakes from time to time. {{User:Sparks/sig}} December 1, 2023, 13:47 (EDT)

== Make more GIFs like this ==

[[File:SMP Smash and Crab solo player fail.gif]]

This wiki needs more of it. {{User:Mario/sig}} 13:55, January 7, 2024 (EST)
:This is an anti-Wario GIF image I uploaded yesterday. Do you notice that MARIO is the one knocking out Wario? {{User:Sparks/sig}} 13:57, January 7, 2024 (EDT)
::Of course I did! 🤣🤣 I immediately shared it with other people. I couldn't fit it in my userpage but maybe I should just have a gallery of Mario's proudest moments in a Mario Party game, and also have a bonus reel showing Mario and friends (and NOT Wario)! I hope your page continues to be Wario-free! {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:01, January 7, 2024 (EST)
:::Thanks! There's a chance that this GIF will become a running gag/meme right? {{User:Sparks/sig}} 14:02, January 7, 2024 (EDT)
::::It will probably be for me at this point. I've already put it on someone's talk page. {{User:Mario/sig}} 16:38, January 7, 2024 (EST)

== I just wanted to say hi! ==

You probably haven't met me, but that's okay because I'm new and haven't done much on the wiki yet. I wanted to say that I think it's awesome that you like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It used to be my favorite show, and my favorite character is Twilight Sparkle too! The Smash and Crab GIF you uploaded is great (in my humble opinion)! I absolutely ''hate'' Wario and this GIF is hilarious to me. I also think it's great that you like ''[[Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope]]''. I love Rabbid Rosalina too, although I was initially like "Wait, they're making a Rabbid version of Rosalina? I don't know whether to laugh or cry...", but she turned out to be an awesome character. Oh, and have I mentioned Rosalina is my favorite ''Mario'' series character? I also love your userpage. Thank you for working so hard on the ''Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope'' pages and keep working on getting the [[Rabbid Rosalina]] page to featured status! 

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. If you don't reply to this, that's alright. I just wanted to try and brighten your day a little bit. Thank you for contributions! -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 16:21, January 9, 2024 (EST)
:Thank you so much! ''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'' was my main reason for joining the Mario Wiki. I've been on the wiki for a little over a year now, but I'm still learning new things as I edit! As for the Mario Wiki itself, I think the community is awesome and has lots of nice people, like you. And yes, being a brony is something I love. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 16:34, January 9, 2024 (EDT)
::(Sorry for the late response, I've been busy.) I think it's cool that you're a brony. I'd actually never heard of the term until now, so that's one new word added to my vocabulary! And congrats on [[Rabbid Rosalina]] getting featured status!! It's so much more interesting to read now, and I think you did a great job. Have a good day! -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 18:37, January 12, 2024 (EST)
:::Thank you! I wanted to get her to Featured Status for months now and I finally did so! You have a good day too! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 21:00, January 12, 2024 (EDT)

:I blame Cozy Glow. This page was Warioproof until she arrived. I guess Wario wasn't too happy about those GIF images... {{User:Sparks/sig}} 22:23, January 13, 2024 (EDT)

== Apparently, Wario likes throwing baby penguins off cliffs! ==

[[File:WarioMK64_win.png]][[File:Penguin_model_MRSOH.png|100px]]
Can you believe that? [[Kings|The King]] of [[Ice Land]] (whether it's the one from the NES version, the SNES remake, or [[Penguin King|if he's a penguin himself]]) needs to do something about it! We need spread the word, and ensure it reaches the king of Ice Land himself! --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 10:38, March 4, 2024 (EST)
:What?! What did the baby penguins ever do to Wario? This will not stand! We must protect the penguins AND put an end to Wario's unethical crimes! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 10:48, March 4, 2024 (EST)

== Proposal cleaned up ==

I cleaned up [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Broaden the scope of the &lcub;&lcub;unreferenced&rcub;&rcub; template|my proposal]] by adding the <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 21:27, March 30, 2024 (EDT)
:I think it looks better than when the proposal first started? {{User:Sparks/sig}} 21:47, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

== Signature ==

Hello, just letting you know that your signatures [[MarioWiki:Signatures|need to be 35 pixels in height]], not width, so "35px" should be "x35px". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:05, April 4, 2024 (EDT)
:Whoops. I'll change that. Sorry about that! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 09:07, April 4, 2024 (EDT)
::Is this better? {{User:Sparks/sig}} 09:10, April 4, 2024 (EDT)
:::[[File:Go Mario.png]]<br>That should be the correct change! Now, learning how to set a height for an image might come in handy in the future, especially when you want to force Wario to be a certain height to crush him more easily... {{User:Mario/sig}} 21:25, April 5, 2024 (EDT)
::::That'll be useful in case any other Warios decide to attempt to take over my talk page. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 21:35, April 5, 2024 (EDT)

== Thanks for your help! ==

Hi! I wanted to thank you for helping me withdraw my proposal, as well as voting on it and helping to come up with names for the pages if the proposal passed. I've still got plans to make another proposal if a Sparkla Spirit is not what Stella was referring to in that quote, but I need to finish the game first before I make another one. Anyway, thank you, and have a great day! -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 18:26, April 11, 2024 (EDT)
:You're welcome! I'm always happy to help out a friend in need! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 18:47, April 11, 2024 (EDT)

== Free Golden Wario ==

I worked hard stealing the statues from [[Greedville]] since they were causing distant satellites to go blind from the sheer ugliness and I put them into storage. That being said....

For being promoted to patroller, you have earned a very special Golden Wario of the Day. Never mind the chemical composition of the thing, which is suspiciously FeS<sub>2</sub>, why not strike it to cause magical flames to demolish all that is terrible, greedy, garlicy, and stinky on this wiki?

[[File:Wonky Circus Statue.png|300px]]

Keep good care of it! Be careful... this golden Wario statue is prone to oxidation from the air and water, unlike those cheap metals made out of Au. 🙄 {{User:Mario/sig}} 12:36, May 17, 2024 (EDT)
:Well, I'll be careful with it. It's a statue of Wario, so that's already concerning. <small>Thanks for helping me get to patroller status by the way!</small> {{User:Sparks/sig}} 12:45, May 17, 2024 (EDT)

== Congrats on your promotion!  ==

I'm excited to hear that you're a patroller now! I hope you enjoy your new position! Best regards, {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 13:24, May 19, 2024 (EDT)
:Thank you so much! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 13:28, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

== Whacka and Prince Mush ==

I've checked the game's message files and here's what I've found:
*Battle themes: <code>Attack-a of the Whacka!</code> and <code>Battle - Prince Mush</code>, with thinking themes
*Both of them have their own Tattles and entries in the Tattle Log
I'll post the full thing later once we've figured more of it out {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 21:33, May 21, 2024 (EDT)
:I've just checked, they have dialogue related to the events and items they give you after. Both are also infinitely repeatable, judging by the text. Prince Mush also has an RDM email related to his challenge. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 01:45, May 22, 2024 (EDT)

== That's another great gif file you uploaded! ==

[[File:SMP Soak or Croak gameplay.gif|350px]]

Nice job on more Wario torture! With you around, he'll NEVER get a break! (I secretly hope Rosalina won that match...) Have a fantastic day! -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 15:48, May 29, 2024 (EDT)
:Actually I don't remember who won... but as long as Wario loses it's all good! Thanks for the message! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 15:51, May 29, 2024 (EDT)

== Smash models ==

Where exactly was the proposal saying to delete model images from ''Smash'' that weren't ''Mario''-related? If there wasn't one, you'll need to restore those, that's a very contentious subject and deleting things willy-nilly is not a good idea. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 10:25, June 6, 2024 (EDT)
:On the Mario Wiki Discord server, the staff agreed that the wiki is limiting ''Super Smash Bros.'' content. They also approved that the images should be deleted, which is why I did so. I only deleted the ones that Giga Cat Weegee uploaded yesterday. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 10:33, June 6, 2024 (EDT)
::Hrm, OK then. I still want to point out that most people here, including staff that is normally pro-Smash-thinning, have generally responded positively to how I implemented the lists into the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' article (which is still a bit of a wip itself), and I plan to do the same thing with the other games' pages and galleries. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 10:39, June 6, 2024 (EDT)
:::{{@|Doc von Schmeltwick}} I'll reiterate what I said on Camwoodstock's talk page yesterday that I think it's incredibly selfish to want to have excessive coverage on this wiki, not only considering how ''Super Mario'' is a large enough franchise to curate alone (and therefore basically taking personal issues with other wikis and irrelevant content here), but because specialized affiliate wikis could really use more support from those who are interested in the coverage, like NintendoWiki, which is lacking in content. A good precedent taken was when Nintendo101 ported over the Memory Card page over to there. I'm only interested in ''Super Mario'' content. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 10:43, June 6, 2024 (EDT)
::::If it weren't for the free advertisement those series get on here from it, I probably wouldn't have gotten into them in the first place. :\ [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 10:46, June 6, 2024 (EDT)
::Just wanted to clarify that the deletion was due to the fact that they were simply hasty uploads of the T-pose thumbnails from the Models Resource on top of the fact that they're needlessly adding to content we're already trying to limit anyway (and are better off elsewhere, i.e. SmashWiki), especially since all of them were non-''Mario''-related. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:54, June 6, 2024 (EDT)
:::That's fair. I've become a big hesitant to just taking the preview images from TMR, especially the small ones. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:07, June 6, 2024 (EDT)

== Capitalization for links to pages ==

Hello [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so what we've been wondering is that much of the text within pages for links are in capital letters, but are we allowed to lowercase the links, as long as it's not a character from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' (franchise)]], or proper nouns for example? If this was done, it would make it feel more like proper English because English only uses capitals at the start of paragraphs or proper nouns, and I think that lowercase looks much better in page links. {{User:C11P/sig}} 03:00, June 26, 2024 (EDT)
:As long as the links don't have to deal with proper nouns. [[Mario]] is a proper noun because that's his name, but subjects like [[penguin]] can be lowercase because penguins are not proper nouns and are not the name of a specific character, but of the species in general. Most links must have proper capitalization, but there are some exceptions like penguin as I've mentioned. Locations also must be capitalized because they are proper nouns too. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 09:04, June 26, 2024 (EDT)

==I'm getting a bit uncomfortable by [[Special:Contributions/5.82.57.96|5.82.57.96]]==
There were 0 admins online when I wrote this, so I hope it's okay that I write about it to you instead. I'm feeling pretty "Uuuuuuuuh..." about A) the user apparently thinks me and only me can handle adding images, and 2) they're kinda linking to ''de facto'' pirate sites (presuming MarioCube counts as a pirate site, which I think it does). So I feel like I need someone to step in to them as a 3rd commenter in that thread so that I don't stand alone in trying to talk with them. [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 17:51, June 26, 2024 (EDT)
:(I had forgot to add the exact link to the page in question above, which is [[User_talk:DandelionSprout#Korean_logo_and_DSi_menu_logo_for_WarioWare_Snapped]]) [[User:DandelionSprout|DandelionSprout]] ([[User talk:DandelionSprout|talk]]) 18:21, June 26, 2024 (EDT)

== Pages with words in lowercase ==

Hello [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], in this Wiki, some of the pages have a title with all of the words except for the first word having their first letter in lowercase, like '''[[Volcanic debris]]''' as an example. Do you know why it is like this? {{User:C11P/sig}} 04:00, June 27, 2024 (EDT)
:Volcanic debris is not a proper noun, but a common noun. Sometimes Nintendo officially declares subjects as common nouns, like [[volcanic debris]]. Conjectural articles (such as [[cowboy]] for example) are also lowercase because we don't know their official name, so editors come up with one themselves. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 07:51, June 27, 2024 (EDT)

== IP address user pages from rollbacking edits by a different user ==

Hello [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so it turns out that rollbacking is an action where you can revert all of the recent edits by a user of a page, thus restoring the page back to the last revision by a different user. These are automatically marked as minor edits, but the edit summary for rollbacking reads out the following: 

<code><nowiki>Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/Username|Username]] ([[User talk:Username|talk]]) to last revision by [[User:Username|Username]]</nowiki></code>

It turns out that it reads two different users, but for some reason, the second user link links to their user page instead of their list of contributions, meaning if this action was done by a user or IP that added vandalism or added false information to a page as an example, and it got reverted to the latest revision that an IP address made, if you hover over the redlink, it reads that the IP address has a user page that can be created, which is a bit odd to read because IPs cannot create their own user space, but regular users can. Does this mean that the IP can actually secretly create a user page of their IP address? Because when you are logged out, the area that reads the user you are logged in as reads "Not logged in" with no available link to a creatable user page. I really need an answer about all of this, thank you so much, Sparks. {{User:C11P/sig}} 05:30, June 28, 2024 (EDT)
:Only staff members can perform rollbacks, meaning that anonymous users cannot rollback pages. Anonymous users must log in to be registered users in order for them to create user pages for themselves. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 07:16, June 28, 2024 (EDT)

== Creating user pages when a user is blocked ==

Hello [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so in the Wiki, users can create a page as their personal user space, and can create multiple sub pages, in which other users cannot create or edit the pages, but one thing I always wanted to know is, when you are blocked from editing the Wiki, you can still add discussions to talk pages, but can you not edit your personal user page and sub pages when you are blocked from the Wiki? I really need an answer here. {{User:C11P/sig}} 02:00, June 29, 2024 (EDT)
:According to [[MarioWiki:Blocking Policy]]:

"'''Blocked users can still see all wiki pages, but they cannot login or edit. Instead, hitting the "edit" link brings them to a notification page, which provides the email that they can contact if they want to protest the block.'''

'''When a blocked user attempts to edit, the IP from which they are editing is "autoblocked", so that they cannot try to go and edit from another account instead. There is an internal autoblock expiry time set to 24 hours, meaning that when a username is blocked indefinitely, their IP will be automatically unblocked 24 hours after they last accessed a page.'''"

I know blocked users can edit their own talk pages, but admins can prevent them from doing so when they perform the block process. They cannot edit on mainspace articles no matter what, whether it be talk pages or the subjects themselves. If you have any other questions about policies, I recommend checking out the [[Help:Contents|Help]] page. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 07:16, June 29, 2024 (EDT)

== The image for a page's thumbnail ==

Hello [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so in every page, there is an image used for the thumbnail of the pages, like a [[List of characters|character]] or enemy from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' (franchise)]] and where the artwork of that character or enemy of that game is from, but are we allowed to change these images to the image of the character or enemy from a different game's artwork from the ''Super Mario'' (franchise) or not? As long as if it is not adding vandalism to the page. {{User:C11P/sig}} 02:52, July 2, 2024 (EDT)
:The artwork needs to match up with the current section of the article, so if it's a Goomba's artwork from ''Super Mario World'', then it goes in the ''Super Mario World'' section. Subjects use artwork from their latest appearance in their infoboxes, but if the artwork showcases the subject with something unique for the game (for example, Mario with the Dual Slingers from ''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'') then it isn't used,just the latest artwork of them without anything related to one game. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 08:06, July 2, 2024 (EDT)

== Writing ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]'' in italic ==

Hello [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so we have to write games from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] in italic, but do we have to put ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]'' in italic or not? We just want to know because the title of this page is not in italic, but users write this in italic elsewise and it is also a game that people can play. {{User:C11P/sig}} 02:45, July 6, 2024 (EDT)
:Board games titles shouldn't be italicized. Only books, movies, TV shows and video games should be italicized. Songs are to be in quotation marks. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 08:31, July 6, 2024 (EDT)

== Header for pages ==

Hello [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so we've been wondering on how do you change the text of the header of your user space or talk page, because your talk page's heading does not say ''"User talk:Sparks"'', but instead says ''"Woo! I mean, YAY!! - Sweetie Belle, 2011"''. How do you even do this at all? I really need an answer here. {{User:C11P/sig}} 07:24, July 10, 2024 (EDT)
:Use<code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:</nowiki></code> and then type in what you want the title to display. For example, for my talk page I typed in <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Woo! I mean, YAY!! - Sweetie Belle, 2011}}</nowiki></code>. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 08:28, July 10, 2024 (EDT)

== Smash images ==

A lot of those were not actually supposed to be tagged for deletion, they were just marked as such by a user who misunderstood a proposal and refused to clean up their mess (to wit: they were meant to go on the list/game pages, but the person who decided to enact the proposal got lazy and neglected to include them - see [https://www.mariowiki.com/User_talk:Super_Mario_RPG#Deletion_templates_for_Smash_redirects this conversation]). Please undelete them. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:55, July 19, 2024 (EDT)
:I can't bring back the images myself but I can bring this up on Discord. Sorry for the misunderstanding. This is a very weird situation overall. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 23:08, July 19, 2024 (EDT)

== JPG ==

If you got that ''DDR:MM'' screenshot from a video as you say in the upload summary, then why did you upload it as a JPG instead of PNG? Saving as JPG worsens the quality of the screenshot and JPGs [[User_talk:Porplemontage#Question_about_image_thumbnails|blur heavily when thumbnailed]]. So if the image wasn't [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/46#Prohibit_Converting_Between_GIF.2C_JPEG.2C_and_PNG_Formats|already a JPG to begin with]], I don't see a reason to upload in that format (printscreened video screenshots aren't going to be perfect quality in the first place, but saving as JPG just adds more artifacting). PNG is superior. The same can be said about your X-Fist and X-Punch screenshot uploads, assuming those are taken from videos as well. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 15:37, July 20, 2024 (EDT)
:Whenever I take screenshots from videos (I use an IPad), they're in PNG format, but when I crop them to remove anything unnecessary (black bars, watermarks) they change to JPG format and I don't know why. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 15:39, July 20, 2024 (EDT)

== Features ==

Do you like when new features are added to the wiki, that is, if they do not deter from the experience or accessibility of content? Sure, it's like one got removed lately (Tabber) though you seemed particularly eager about the Thanks proposal I did and proceeded to archive it when it passed eagerly. I think one way of keeping the place fun is experimenting with all of these features. Just felt the need to share, since it feels great when people benefit from one's proposals, templates, or features. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 12:14, August 24, 2024 (EDT)
:I like the idea of the Thanks extension! Other users complained about the tabbers because they didn't work, but they weren't an issue for me. In my opinion, new features can work really well and even encourage users/editors. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 12:31, August 24, 2024 (EDT)

== RIP the new message box ==

== messed up ==

I messed up. I canceled my own proposal mainly because it should've been a TPP, as was mentioned. Sorry about that. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 17:39, September 10, 2024 (EDT)
:That's OK! Everyone makes mistakes. We learn from them! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 17:49, September 10, 2024 (EDT)

== Period after "Bros" ==

Hello again [[User:Sparks|Sparks]]. Sorry if I am acting like a dumb head, but it turns out that some people editing this Wiki really need to learn how to put the period or full stop after "Bros", the reason why it needs to be like this is because putting a period after a word in the middle of a sentence can tell that it is a word that stands for something like as an example: "Bros." stands for "Brothers", without the period after a word like this, people might not know reading the article that that word is a word standing for something else. I originally asked [[User:Mario jc|Mario jc]] about this formatting of "Bros.", but he did not reply to what we said, frustrating us, meaning we needed to ask you about this, as you always reply to other people, when Mario jc replies to a comment, instead of replying to the comment on his [[User talk:Mario jc|Talk Page]], he puts his response on the corresponding User's Talk Page to who asked the new topic. Can we please sort all of this out? Thank you so much, Sparks. {{User:C11P/sig}} 02:20, September 11, 2024 (EDT)
:Many games in the ''Super Mario'' franchise have the word "Bros." This is an abbreviation of the word "brothers" and so a period must be placed after the word. I even looked it up and every website I've seen agrees to place a period after "Bros." {{User:Sparks/sig}} 07:15, September 11, 2024 (EDT)

== Formatting "[[Spiny]]" to proper American English ==

Hello again [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so it turns out that throughout the whole of this Wiki, a lot of people are writing "[[Spiny]]s" instead of "Spinies". The reason it needs to be "Spinies" is because words that end with "Y" in plural form replace the "Y" with "IES", writing a word ending with "Y" and putting an "S" on the end just does not look right at all, can we please sort all of this out like what we did to "Bros."? Thank you very much, Sparks. {{User:C11P/sig}} 02:39, September 12, 2024 (EDT)
:Spinies have more commonly been referred to such as "Spinies", and I believe that is the correct way to spell it. However, I looked on the Spiny article found that there have been rare instances where they were called "Spinys". Examples of this include ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They're likely errors, but that was what they were known as for those media. Nowadays, "Spinies" looks to be the official spelling, as modern ''Mario'' games and such have that pluralization. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 07:51, September 12, 2024 (EDT)

== [[User:Koopa con Carne|Koopa con Carne]]'s signature page ==

Hello again [[User:Sparks|Sparks]], so it turns out that [[User:Koopa con Carne|Koopa con Carne]]'s signature page is misspelt, it has a capital "S" in "Sig", it needs to be spelt as "sig" (<code><nowiki>{{User:Koopa con Carne/sig}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}}</nowiki></code>), can you kindly ask him to fix this up, because this signature does not work with the <code><nowiki>{{Sigbox}}</nowiki></code> template, it works if "Sig" is spelt as "sig". This template only accepts User Pages ending with "/sig". Thank you so much, Sparks. {{User:C11P/sig}} 06:00, September 17, 2024 (EDT)

== WikiLove ==

Since you seemed to be a big supporter, I'm personally here to let you know that I [[MarioWiki:WikiLove|started the page]]. I couldn't think of much to say and just made the most basic example of a WikiLove notice, but hopefully it's at least good enough to be a start. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 10:56, October 26, 2024 (EDT)
:Yup! I saw the creation. I'm excited to see this in use! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 10:58, October 26, 2024 (EDT)
::Perhaps a <code>wikilove</code> class could be created for templates that look akin to what you'd find at the bottom of like [[User_talk:Koopa_con_Carne#Wario_is_HOT|this talk page section]] (which was one of the things that gave me the idea to propose WikiLove). [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 11:02, October 26, 2024 (EDT)
:::Yes! I think that'll make a great template for WikiLove. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 11:06, October 26, 2024 (EDT)

== Question ==

Why did you remove my crossover idea? [[Special:Contributions/91.214.137.123|91.214.137.123]] 07:11, November 4, 2024 (EST)
:According to [[Help:Communication]], talk pages are '''used to debate or ask questions about the article that corresponds to it. This is not the right place to discuss which character is better or which species is the strongest.''' Basically what this means is that talk pages are meant to be used for constructive purposes, such as how to improve the article or to confirm information for example. What you put on there was what we'd call Forum Talk. That wasn't constructive and doesn't help the article, and so I removed it. If you want to share ideas, this place is not where to do it. You can talk about that kind of stuff on [https://www.marioboards.com/ Mario Boards] or the [[MarioWiki:Discord servers|Discord server]]. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 07:28, November 4, 2024 (EST)

== What are YOU doing to make this year a Wario-free year? ==

[[File:Squared Away solo player fail.gif|500px|center|Wario getting killed. You love killing him. Wario likes getting killed.]]

As usual, 2024 was AWFUL for Wario. Whenever he's getting [[:File:MP Piranha's Pursuit fail.gif|bitten by Hungry Hungry House Plants]], [[:File:MP5 Head Waiter fail.gif|blown up by angry scary Bowser bombs]], [[:File:MP3 Stacked Deck Baby Bowser.gif|gored by feisty baby turtles]], [[:File:MP2 Bowser's Big Blast gameplay.gif|blown up by even bigger, angrier, and scarier Bowser bombs]], [[:File:SMP Fireplace Race Swoop.gif|swooped away by offended bats]], [[:File:SMP Soak or Croak gameplay.gif|soaked and croaked away]], smashed and crabbed, and even [[:File:MK8D Boomerang Flower.gif|boomeranged]], it's certain that he's been quite on the losing streak. I'm going to make sure 2025 will be just as abysmal for everyone's loathed treasure hunter when it comes to party games that seem to be dead-set targeting this silly man. And to make matters worse, his worst enemy is now the high-ranking captain of the Wiki clean up crew! Wario hates being clean, after all! I've already started uploading a couple screenshots from ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' [[:File:Scare-ousel - SMPJ.png|highlighting his misery]], but do you have any tricks up your sleeve? Here's to another year of misery! {{User:Mario/sig}} 16:28, December 26, 2024 (EST)
:Wait until I upload some ''Jamboree'' GIFs! Well, when I think of ideas for them I mean. I think [[Lost and Pound]] might be a good one... three whacks to the noggin in a row! WAHAHA! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 16:35, December 26, 2024 (EST)

== Good mood? ==

The wiki seems to be in a good mood today. It makes sense that someone named Mario is a bureaucrat of this wiki, covering a franchise of which Mario is the protagonist, so I'm glad it's finally happened. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 16:37, December 26, 2024 (EST)
:Yes indeed, I love to see such positivity here! If only every day could be like this... {{User:Sparks/sig}} 16:40, December 26, 2024 (EST)
::Well, for one, the Thanks and WikiLove features have definitely given this site a positive energy. I got in disputes with editors before, and I admit that the ability to thank others and vice versa from what we do agree upon has helped maintain some stability and courtesy, both of which are important for a community to have. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 16:53, December 26, 2024 (EST)

== A more varied style ==
Hey Sparks can I be friends with you? the reason is because I've just been really bored on the wiki just editing pages. I want to actually be more significant like The 'Shroom for example. Also I made my own unique character and it seems as if nobody notices it yet. I'm not begging or acting like a hand-holder I just want to do more stuff. Also I want to make signitures in style of you and Mario jc. [[User:Sentient freedom|Sentient freedom]] ([[User talk:Sentient freedom|talk]]) 16:02, February 5, 2025 (EST)
:Yeah! We can be friends, and I like your eagerness! If you want, you can put my friend userbox on your user page. The code's found on my user page too. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 16:10, February 5, 2025 (EST)
Thank you Sparks and you can do the same with my friend userbox too I hope I will be able to learn a lot with you around. [[User:Sentient freedom|Sentient freedom]] ([[User talk:Sentient freedom|talk]]) 16:16, February 5, 2025 (EST)

== The 'Shroom ==
Sparks, I want to help out with The 'Shroom (mainly due to see what people will do with my character and to be more significant). But I don't even know where to start or even if there's any spots left. [[User:Sentient freedom|Sentient freedom]] ([[User talk:Sentient freedom|talk]]) 07:52, February 7, 2025 (EST)

Do you plan to write a section monthly, bi-monthly or just a one-off guest section? Send a demo of that section to Meta Knight. He will then forward it to us (The 'Shroom Staff) to review and give feedback for a week. Afterwards, we'll come up with a decision if it should be featured or not. Don't worry though - we're happy to help out our writers and make sure everything turns out OK in the end! If you have any further questions, please reach out to me, {{User|Waluigi Time}}, Meta Knight or any of the other 'Shroom staff! We're excited to see what you come up with! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 08:48, February 7, 2025 (EST)

== Luigi's Mansion Books ==

I was thinking about including the text from the readable books in the ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' game. Is there a page where I can include these texts? {{User:ZanyDragon/sig}} 17:39, February 12, 2025 (EST)
:I would say to include the descriptions of books found in the room. I know the study has some and so does Nana's room. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 17:44, February 12, 2025 (EST)
:I'm not sure how to describe the books. But the text found within them I can definitely handle. {{User:ZanyDragon/sig}}
::Maybe in a table format? I just drafted this but how does it look?

Nana's diary is the one readable piece of text found in her room. And It seems like the ones in the study have already been added. So...well, I did the best I could at adding it to the page. Have a look. I think I did well. {{User:ZanyDragon/sig}} 18:07, February 12, 2025 (EST)

:Hi! Unfortunately I am not experienced with ripping sprites (or anything) from game files. Taking icons and adding transparency to them manually isn't the best too.

==My Improved Character==
Sparks two things, firstly who on this wiki is very good at drawing? and second I want to make signatures relative to yours and Mario Jc's how do I do that? in case you're curious, I want my character to have a slight change. More specifically my original character but he's holding a PlayStation-Style Platinum Trophy in addition with the wand with waffles on it, with jam sandwiched between them on top of the trophy. The Platinum Trophy is there to symbolise the theme of my 'Shroom concept of 100%ing games, and the waffles and jam sandwich is there because I just like waffles with jam. [[User:Sentient freedom|Sentient freedom]] ([[User talk:Sentient freedom|talk]]) 18:31, March 7, 2025 (EST)
:Hiya! The code to make a rotating signature that changes each month is something along the lines of this: <code><nowiki> {{#switch:{{LOCALMONTHNAME}}
|January=
|February=
|March=
|April=
|May=
|June=
|July=
|August=
|September=
|October=
|November=
|December=
}}
</nowiki></code>. Basically, add in what you want for each parameter, like images and text. Use the [[Template:Color|color template]] to get colored text.

== I've noticed a theme ==

I've noticed a theme of [[Wario]] often losing in the ''Mario Party'' minigames from the images, and I think a few here don't like the character. For example, while redoing a ''Mario Party'' minigame page, I'd show it to readers in [[Bowser's Big Blast]]. Also, it kind of makes sense if the enemies of [[Mario]] are shown losing the minigames as well, not the protagonists like Mario, so I think it's a nice touch. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 09:16, March 15, 2025 (EDT)
:Yes! [[User:Mario|Mario]] and [[User:Ray Trace|Ray Trace]] are avid Wario haters and I thought I'd join them in the anti-Wario stuff they do. It's fun and gives everyone good laughs! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 09:41, March 15, 2025 (EDT)
::Also, there's too many [[:Category:Pages requested to be deleted|duplicate images]] of players winning the [[Avalanche! (Mario Party 4)|Avalanche!]] minigame in ''Mario Party 4'', with no practical differences. Since Mario's the main protagonist, I decided to leave only that one intact.

Yeah but there's one problem you know that one episode where Scootaloo was to do everything by an image on a whiteboard? Well it has kinda been affected to the whole of Ponyville as well as Wario's own dimension so everyone who despised him is now doomed to do what the white board says for the remainder of April Fool's Day. Including you and me but don't worry as soon as that's over we can pull a full on assault on Wario to make sure his trickery antics won't last!

== Friend Request & The 'Shroom ==

Hi, Sparks! I am currently looking for friends and your user page felt pretty inviting so that’s why I wanna ask if you wanna be friends with me
Also, I have a question about ''[[The 'Shroom]]''. In the [[The 'Shroom:Sign up|sign up page]] it says I have to contact Meta Knight if I wanna write for ''The {{'}}Shroom''. But since you are the Sub-Director, could I contact you in Discord DMs as well? {{User:Yoshi18/sig}} 10:30, April 8, 2025 (EDT)
:Hi! Of course you can be friends with me! This is the code for my friend userbox:

<code><nowiki>{{userbox|border=blue|mainbkgd=purple|codebkgd=white|codecolor=black|code=[[File:MLPFIM Twilight Sparkle.png|50px]]|msg={{color|white|This user is friends with '''{{color link|white|User:Sparks|Sparks}}''' (and loves ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'')!}}}}</nowiki></code>

:Now about The 'Shroom: applications are usually sent to Meta Knight, but you absolutely can DM me or Waluigi Time too! Just follow the terms listed on the sign-up page and DM your section to whoever you wish to send it to. Afterwards, The 'Shroom Staff will take a week to look over it and offer feedback. I'm looking forward to what you've got! If you have any questions, feel free to ask a 'Shroom Staff member! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 10:36, April 8, 2025 (EDT)

Thanks! It’s hard trying to make (and ask for) friends after my past (which I'd rather. I don’t know what got in to me back then. The block really helped). But thanks for accepting my request! I’m gonna write a demo for the 'Shroom right now and send it to you on Discord. You can expect it later today or tomorrow. Cause I know the staff will take a week to review so that probably means I have to send it before April 12th. {{User:Yoshi18/sig}} 13:23, April 8, 2025 (EDT)
:All good! And hey, don't let the past get to you. We all do stupid stuff and later regret it. As long as you've learned from your mistakes and strive for being better, that's what matters! {{User:Sparks/sig}} 13:46, April 8, 2025 (EDT)
