I'll admit, we got ourselves a grey area or blurred line when it comes to fan content related to the page [[List of Mario references on the Internet]]. Would a policy page contain rules on what is allowed fan creations? Where would that be? It seems to be unwritten word what is allowed and disallowed. {{tem|MarioWiki}} --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 16:25, 10 March 2018 (EST)

::I consider Reddit more of a fancy blog, news feed, fan art, discussion, etc., run by a community of fans more than anything. It's the slippery slope fallacy I am seeing keeping Reddit as content for the page, meaning we would need to include all sorts of fanmade website content. Too numerous. We need written word if we should continue this. What should the rules be? Ultimately, when we think "reference", we think "small nod to a series", which Nintendo-themed Subreddits are far from small nods. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 16:36, 10 March 2018 (EST)

== Blue Lava Bubble ==


Hi, would you mind checking the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' Prima guides for the official names for the blue Lava Bubbles that appear in [[King Kaliente]]'s boss fight? I was just wondering because there's been some talk about whether to use the internal filename as the name for the article, and I found in the ''3D World'' Prima guide that they treat the game's blue Lava Bubbles as the same thing as the orange ones. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 11:53, 18 December 2018 (EST)

:Also, would you mind checking your ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' guide for the official name for [[Ultra Char-Char]]s (or if they're even singled out from regular-sized [[Char-Char]]s on the enemies tab)?

== Nippers and Bills ==
 
Hi, Time Turner. Some things have come up, and we have need of your books.
 
1) In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Ver. 2.0.0., there is a guidance for Piranha Plant, contrary to the previous game where downloadable characters didn't get their own clips. In it, Viridi gives the name "Nipper Dandelion" to Watage Pakkun. Nipper Dandelion happens to be the previous title of the article, where it was marked as conjectural. Now, I've been reassured that Nipper Dandelion was likely straightforward, but I still have my suspicions that the wiki was referenced again because she also bluntly calls one of the variations "Ghosts" (which I feel personally [[Talk:Ghost (Piranha Plant)|responsible]] for because I doubt it was the intent of the ''Smash for'' writer, even though it's not ''technically'' wrong). So, can you double-check your ''Yoshi's Island DS'' guides just to confirm if Nipper Dandelion was indeed conjectural? There's a discussion about the guidance [[Talk:Piranha Plant#This is the Ultimate|here]] if you want to weigh in.
 
2) [[Bullet Bill#Super Mario Sunshine|In Bullet Bill's ''Super Mario Sunshine'' section]], the names "Blue Bullet Bill" and "Crazy Bullet Bill" are mentioned. As far as I can tell, these refer to the Bullet Bills used by Bowser Jr., which home in like Monty Mole's Purple Bullet Bill, even though ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' only mentions the former. Can you tell us if these are referenced in any of the guides, and if their descriptions better set them apart from Purple Bullet Bill? It might be worth making new articles over it.
 
3) Speaking of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', I've seen that you brought up the fact a couple of times that some of the guides (I believe there are four total) have a different set of names that appear to refer to game data. I don't think they are all up on the wiki. What are they, exactly? It might be useful to compile and compare them at least, especially now that "Gooble" is Swoopin' Stu.
 
Thanks in advance. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:30, 30 January 2019 (EST)
:Also would you check out where is [[Stackin' Stu]] official? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:05, 30 January 2019 (EST)
:Oh yes, and [[Giant Stu]], and if the Stu enemies are called basic "Stus" at any point. Let's consider that as part of the third question. Sorry, I know I've unloaded quite a bit to look into; these are listed in order of importance, so if you can't do all three at once, we'd appreciate if you could look into the first one for now. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:29, 30 January 2019 (EST)
::Nipper Dandelion was made conjectural at its creation, so i think that yes, it is indeed conjectural. Can you double-check both guides if there is a name for it. And the Super Mario Sunshine things listed in? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:34, March 19, 2019 (EDT)
::I recently got ahold of these guides, so don't worry about it. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:40, March 19, 2019 (EDT)
:::Was the green Electro-Koopa named in both guides? And, what is the Polluted Piranha's name in the Prima guide? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 13:06, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 
== Artwork ==
 
If and when you ever return here, would you mind checking the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' Prima eGuide to see if any of the enemies have any artwork that can be used? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 11:09, November 25, 2019 (EST)
 
== Yoshi in Mario's Time Machine ==
 
One thing that I have noticed while playing the MS-DOS/CD-ROM version of Mario's Time Machine, is that Yoshi is in the game, in the dinosaur area whenever you don't go to the correct time period. However, while there is a rip of Yoshi from this game on MFGG, it was ripped from screenshots, meaning that the outlines of the sprite may not be correct, as well as Yoshi's legs being covered by grass in one frame of his walking animation. Because of this, could you please rip Yoshi's walking animation with Mario on his back from the game files. The file I assume Yoshi's sprites are in is DINO/YOSHI.ANX, due to it's name. Now, once the sprites have been ripped, I would like a gif of Yoshi's walking animation uploaded to the wiki, on Yoshi's gallery page. {{Unsigned|MarioIsMissingDos}}
