== Star Catchers ==

Hi, it seems you [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Star_Catchers&diff=2681218&oldid=2681209 reverted my edit] on [[Star Catchers]] because what I added was "obvious". I just want to clarify to the contrary; the "normal" behavior as far as I'm aware is that two- or three-way ties at 0 points in a minigame would result in a tie for 3rd or 2nd place, respectively ([[Globe Gunners]] in the same game works like this), while Star Catchers has them tie at 4th (making it the only minigame where a 2- or 3-way tie for 4th is possible). But I haven't played a Mario Party game besides MPDS. Do you know if this is more consistent in other games? [[User:Mathfreak231|math]][[User talk:Mathfreak231|freak]][[Special:Contributions/Mathfreak231|231]] 15:58, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
:Hmm, interesting. I've never tried that in any Mario Party game. The way it was worded made it seem like you were putting emphasis on the player losing when they didn't get any stars and how collecting all the stars while the others got none resulted in a win. Sorry about that. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 16:02, June 13, 2019 (EDT)

== two-article disambigs ==

I can't for the life of me find any sort of policy page specifically on disambiguation pages. Do you know where "disambigs must have at least 3 articles" and other such information would be found? [[User:Mathfreak231|math]][[User talk:Mathfreak231|freak]][[Special:Contributions/Mathfreak231|231]] 22:54, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

==Your userboxes==
Maybe you did it on purpose, but your order of total edits in regards to your userboxes goes 1600, 1700, 1900, 1800. You may have accidentally swapped one. ''Thought you'd want to know.'' [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 22:32, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

:Just put <nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki> and on a new line, put <nowiki>{{userboxbottom}}</nowiki> to create a tower. The userboxes go between them. Both me and TheDarkStar's userboxes are free to use (except the friend userboxes, you have to earn those).

== Yoshi ==

I know Yoshi only appeared in minigames. But saying he never appeared in the game is a complete lie or ignorance I'm trying to stop. I don't want to give the readers false information. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 10:15, July 12, 2019 (EDT)
:That's why I rewrote it to say that Yoshi only appears in minigames. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 10:50, July 12, 2019 (EDT)

== HEROWALUIGI ==

I just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine after giving me that fake reminder on my talk page under the discussion board: consecutive edits, telling me that I should make no more than 3 edits on a page and everything else he's done. We shouldn't have people like him on our wiki. Did Steve ever cause this amount of problems? Alex? JC? You? 3 months? How about 3,000? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 23:30, July 13, 2019 (EDT)
:If you find yourself wanting vengeance on other editors, please log off and calm down. And I've been here for five months, not three. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 23:32, July 13, 2019 (EDT)

I'm talking about how long Mario JC blocked him. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 23:34, July 13, 2019 (EDT)
:That's the least important part of my comment; if you find yourself bitterly desiring comeuppance towards another editor, ''log off and calm down''. Don't angrily make disruptive comments in edit summaries or delete parts of talk pages. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 23:41, July 13, 2019 (EDT)

== HEROMARIO userbox ==

Since he is blocked again, this time for 3 months, would you add an userbox for that, like you did for his return? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 11:04, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
:I'm not going to violate courtesy by drawing attention to another user's block. I'll remove the return userbox, it's outdated. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 11:31, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

== Awesomehippos ==

Please explain why you removed my edit to the page foo So that I may know in the future. {{User|Awesomehippos}} 12:31, July 15, 2019 (SDT)

== GMT ==

At the top of the Proposals page, it lists the current time from when the page is loaded. In this case, it's past July 17th, 23:59 GMT today, so that proposal can be archived today. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 20:12, July 17, 2019 (EDT)
:When I checked it in Special:Diff, Special:Diff's time-of-edit said 20:07. So either there's an inconsistency between the two times, or it was a bug. Sorry for the confusion. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 20:14, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

== Contact information ==

There are 2 ways to contact a guy who might have information regarding the 1993 super Mario world redemption arcade game by Fabtek. The first way is an aol and the second way is an Instagram page. If you're not interested, we should get glowsquid to help. I found these on borp's arcade coverage on the super Mario boards. I hope these links aren't dead.

Please don't do this to me. I forgot. I shouldn't be in trouble because I forgot. I didn't mean to unintentionally commit an offense. Please lift this. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 01:02, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
:Oh. Sorry about that. Don't worry, it's most likely nothing will happen since the report was removed. Here, have a userbox.
{{userbox|border=lime|mainbkgd=green|codecolor=lime|codebkgd=lime|code=[[File:Hyperluigi.gif]]|msg=TheDarkStar is sorry for all that happened. Is forgiveness an option?}}
{{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 10:13, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

Please don't be offended, but no. None of you are forgiven. HEROWALUIGI for breaking the rules multiple times, him giving me a reminder without being an admin, you giving me a reminder, a warning and a last warning without being an admin, Alex95 for removing virtual boy wario land from the list of games while we still archived canceled games there, jjrapper100 for removing super Mario bros pinball from the list, whoever it was on the Mario boards for blocking that one guy's brother and not the guy, all the times you all wrongly thought something or misinterpreted something, all of you not adding games you already had on the wiki to the list, not researching for more and adding them, games, shows, films, videos, publications, merchandise and everything I didn't mention. I cannot forgive any of you for the acts you've done. And I don't want to sound offensive. I just don't like the majority of people on this wiki. That's why I'm gonna stay a loner on this wiki. And not being able to create your user page in one edit? That just annoys me. Good day. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 11:05, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

But I still need Alex's help with stuff. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 11:09, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

OK.
#Any user can give out reminders and warnings.
#It is possible to create a userpage in one edit, just start small and add more over time.

:...Dude. These are by far the silliest possible reasons to hold a grudge. Absolutely 0% of what we do here is that serious. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 12:00, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
::Pretty sure holding a grudge is also counterproductive and pointless. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 19:19, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

I'm not sure what report Falafel is talking about, there's nothing about this context on their talk page. But a minor mistake doesn't mean a reminder/warning (if one was given). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:29, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

I forgot to italicize. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 19:32, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
:I apparently misinterpreted the context of a {{tem|last warning}}'s "thou shalt not break any more rules" as a "thou shalt not break any more rules or a report will be issued". Care to explain the context? {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 19:36, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
::A minor mistake is nothing worth blocking over. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:40, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
:::Yeah, sorry about that. I suggest rewriting {{tem|last warning}} or at least clarifying what exactly a lastwarn means on the [[SMW:WP|warning policy]]. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 19:43, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

== Your Bull's-Eye Bill proposal ==

Like i said on the above discussion, it would have needed to be included in the proposal, being merged ''prior'' to a proposal for the rest. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 01:55, July 25, 2019 (EDT)
:What i'm trying to say is that only merging the Mario Party ones wouldn't require a proposal, and as such, it would need another proposal for the rest. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 03:56, July 25, 2019 (EDT)

== Re:Boo Buddy Swarm ==

Yes, it ''does'' matter if we use it judged solely on the subjective idea that it seems "name-like" because that most likely was not the intent of the author for the reasons I've already mentioned, but at this point I'm repeating myself. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 07:31, August 1, 2019 (EDT)

== New stubs ==

While they could use a tiny bit of fleshing out, there really isn't much info on either voice actor that would be considered directly relevant to the wiki, so I'm unsure if they would really count as new stubs. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 12:54, August 5, 2019 (EDT)
:Yeah, good point. I don’t know why there isn’t a dedicated Wario wiki for those pages, all I can find on the festering landfill that is the first few Main Page talk archives (and basically all talk pages from 2009 or earlier) is that it got merged a while back. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 13:01, August 5, 2019 (EDT)

== Ice Age Alley ==

We merge it because it's good to retain all the info -- and sometimes there's actually images or information that is yet to be put onto mario wiki. By the way, I attempt to rewrite any of the dk wiki stuff that gets carried over [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 19:46, August 13, 2019 (EDT)
:Personally, I don't really consider something mergeworthy if the info is already there and it's poorly written, but you have a good point for the "kong letters and other dk stuff" tables. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 21:25, August 13, 2019 (EDT)

== Re: Reverting edits ==

== "Spamish" summaries ==

I always use the ... in my edit summaries anytime a terrible edit, vandalized edit, redundant edit or anything of the sort happens '''''immediately after my published edits.''''' I'm just really annoyed whenever these occurences happen, if my userpage is anything to go by. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 19:25, August 19, 2019 (EDT)
:I wasn't talking about the ... in general. I was talking about the large twenty-dot ellipsis you used. Twenty dots is going a bit overboard with the dots. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 19:32, August 19, 2019 (EDT)

== "Necroing" old discussions ==

"Necro" literally means "dead," so "necroing" would be more along the line of killing. Resurrection is "necro''manc''ing," which would not be the same thing as "necroing." [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:49, August 22, 2019 (EDT)

== Captain Goomba is not actually a boss in First Battle! ==

Like I've said three times now, that particular fight with Captain Goomba does not count as a boss under any capacity set by the game. In the case of Bowser Jr.'s Journey, any plot-important stages involving collecting a Key Item or fighting a plot-important boss or groups of enemies have the regular boss music. Every other instance has the regular old fighting music, which is exactly what the very first stage has. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 23:41, September 8, 2019 (EDT)
:And like I've said several times, a boss doesn't need to meet some specific criteria to be a boss. Captain Goomba in this case would be a case of a [[Bowser|practice]] [[Antasma|boss]] at its finest, as is Mario & Luigi tradition. Bowser's first fight in Bowser's Inside Story uses the regular enemy music and he's considered a boss (unless there's something I'm missing here). {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 23:47, September 8, 2019 (EDT)
::Let's see, Fawful, Junior Shooboid, Baby Bowser, Bowser, Midbus, Broque Monsieur, Antasma, all "bosses," but at least most of them lack the music themselves. I see no reason this shouldn't be the same situation, but I haven't played the remake myself, so I don't know. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:02, September 9, 2019 (EDT)
:::At least for those bosses, they were usually labelled as such by the game either before the battle begins (the tutorial bosses in the 3DS games) or the music track in question (literally most of them). Either that or a strategy guide could deduce which ones were boss material or not. Here, there '''is no officially-released strategy guide for Bowser Jr.'s Journey.''' Meaning we can't determine which enemies at the end of a stage are bosses unless the boss battle music track plays in those situations. However, in BJJ, some stages have boss music despite there being no actual boss to fight. Captain Goomba in the very first battle of the game does '''not have this criteria at all.''' Again, TheDarkStar's statement is flawed, because of the simple fact that we can't just determine a random criteria to seemingly use for every game made in existence. Each game is made and produced differently, so what the game determines is a boss or not will vary. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 00:09, September 9, 2019 (EDT)
::::You twisted my words a bit there. I didn't say anything about "criteria for every game in existence", that's an exaggeration. I said that it makes no sense to proclaim a stage not a boss because it has no boss music when it's painfully obvious that this is a series-tradition practice boss, like Bowsee and Antasma. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 10:08, September 9, 2019 (EDT)
:::"They can't be a boss because the strategy guide doesn't say so!!!"
::[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarmupBoss I mean... you sure about that?]
:Never mind that strategy guides tend to be somewhat (though not ''completely'') unreliable sources sometimes, it's a pretty well-established form of early-game tutorial tool for a lot games, to say nothing of ''just'' RPGs. Between this and that proposal, it legitimately seems like they're running off a rather narrow definition of what a boss actually is in the belief that that's what it "should" be. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 20:27, September 9, 2019 (EDT)

== Regarding [[Talk:Snake (Yoshi's Story)|the Yoshi's Story snake TPP]] ==

Hello. If you're seeing this, I've updated the proposal with another option and tried to neaten/clarify things a bit more, and I'm sending you and other voters this message in order to inform you of the changes, as courtesy dictates (and especially if you might want to change your vote). Thank you and good day. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 00:04, September 10, 2019 (EDT)
:Actually did that before I got the message, thanks. I watch the recent changes constantly just in case there's a proposal or something, but thanks. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 00:06, September 10, 2019 (EDT)

== Did You Know? inconsistency. ==

I see you added a fact that Koopa Cape has the most renditions of any soundtrack in the Mario Kart series, at three renditions. Unfortunately, this is incorrect, as GBA Bowser Castle and the GCN circuit courses each have four.

How do you add your own information to infoboxes? Also, Happy Thanksgiving! {{User:YoshiFan08/sig}} 08:42, November 28, 2019, EST
:Copy-paste the raw infobox code from [[Template:character infobox]] or another infobox template. Then put it on your userpage and change the actual text (not the code) to whatever you want, and you're done! {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 09:50, November 28, 2019 (EST)

== Infobox proposal ==

Since you were one of the supporters of my earlier proposal, would you mind leaving feedback on [[Template talk:character infobox#Mario-related media|this]] so I can get started? Thanks. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:27, December 4, 2019 (EST)

== Point of no return? ==
Why, hello there. I was thinking about making an article similar to [[Fourth wall]], [[Missable content]], and [[Unrevisitable locations]] called [[Point of no return]]. Basically, it would be about how, at a certain point of the game, if a player triggers a certain cutscene, they cannot collect any more items or save their progress. Do you feel this would be necessary? Just a thought. {{User:The Mansion/sig}} 12:53, December 4, 2019 (EST)
:It would probably depend on how many games have one. I know Luigi's Mansion 3 has one, but I'm otherwise stumped as to how many games have one. Either way, I'm for creating the article, though a proposal may be required. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 12:57, December 4, 2019 (EST)
::When creating the article, I was thinking about the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'', ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'', and ''[[Luigi's Mansion (series)|Luigi's Mansion]]'' games. (For example, in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', the point of no return would be just before [[Luigi]] approaches [[King Boo]] in the [[Secret Altar]], although if he dies in the final battle, he gets another chance to find treasure. Once King Boo is defeated, the mansion disappears, so Luigi cannot find anymore treasure unless he restarts his progress in the mansion or plays [[Hidden Mansion]] mode. {{User:The Mansion/sig}} 14:15, December 4, 2019 (EST)
::::Hate to stalk the convo but I'm totally down for the idea. There's a lot of games that do this (and I hate it) and I think it is a valid design to indicate. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 14:59, December 4, 2019 (EST)
:::::I'd also support the creation of such an article. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 15:59, December 4, 2019 (EST)
I'll try to make it tonight. I would also appreciate some help! {{User:The Mansion/sig}} 16:03, December 4, 2019 (EST)

#Ask an admin to edit it for you. They can edit userpages.
#Switch to desktop view (it's a link at the bottom of each page saying "Desktop view", but this [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:TheDarkStar&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop link] will do it too).

== Why can I edit your user space? ==

Don't worry, I didn't screw with it, but instead of a normal "view source" at the top, it's giving me the option to edit your profile. last time I checked I wasn't an administrator, so could you see what's wrong with it? [[User:Mad Hunter|Mad]] [[User Talk:Mad Hunter|Hunter]] 02:37, February 5, 2020 (EST)
:Porple probably changed the settings or something. There's nothing wrong with it except that my userpage can be vandalized now. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 09:42, February 5, 2020 (EST)

== Splitting RPG key items ==

<blockquote>
''"Admin opinions aren't magically higher on the established opinion hierarchy than the opinions of regular users."''
</blockquote>
They still have the co-authority to change policy at will. Sure, a ''single'' admin isn't enough to make a difference, but the fact that I got approval from an admin still means that ''someone'' on the admin team agreed with my views. And so I think there are two ways out of this situation: either you (or Doc) present your best arguments to TheFlameChomp to get him to change his opinion, or create counterproposals to override whichever of my changes you don't agree with. All I'm saying is that we need to establish consensus for one way or the other. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 10:49, February 10, 2020 (EST)

== Splitting the Species ==

Hello. I was reviewing the existing ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' character articles and noticed you seem hesitant about splitting the Buckies from the [[Noki]] article. May I recommend creating articles for those more deserving (such as those who give Mario items or have actual names/purposes), while creating a "Miscellaneous Noki" section on the species page for the lesser characters? I could add this to the actual talk page or elaborate if needed. Thank you. {{User:The Mansion/sig}} 16:44, October 18, 2020 (EDT)
:ok two things
:1. the bucky thing was like a year ago iirc so its kinda surprising to see it being brought up now tbh
:2. yeah I think that's good {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 18:34, October 18, 2020 (EDT)
I recently created [[Stranded Pianta]] and [[Bickering Piantas]], and that’s all. The articles I’ll do from now on have to be for more notable characters, ones with both names and recurring appearances. {{User:The Mansion/sig}} 13:45, October 26, 2020 (EDT)

== SMG4 & MM54321 moment ==
