== Age template ==

I had an idea to update the template, also I updated on Wikipedia a bit. I believe there are more users that born in 1999 than 1989 on this wiki. Which is better, 1972 at time of 1986, or 1999 at time of 2013? Whether the status quo is better? What do you think of changing to [[Charles Martinet]] at time of SM64 release date? <nowiki>{{age|September 17, 1955|September 29, 1996}}</nowiki> Since the template is protected and I can't edit right now. [[User:Windy|Windy]] ([[User talk:Windy|talk]]) 13:14, May 4, 2023 (EDT)
:It's just an example, so there's not really a point to updating it. Anyway, it's primarily meant for the mainspace, so it doesn't really matter what the average age of our editors are. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 14:45, May 4, 2023 (EDT)
::This was considered a pointless edit. It is true that the median age has increased. Although the date was written in 2006, the ratio is very different from the teenagers of that time and the teenagers in these days. [[User:Windy|Windy]] ([[User talk:Windy|talk]]) 23:22, December 25, 2023 (EST)

== Question ==

Hey, I was just going to ignore this, 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.

[[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 11:46, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
:I sent them a message about it to tell them to stop, if it continues please let me or another staff member know. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:13, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

::Will do, thank so much. [[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 17:28, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

== Question 2.0: Courtesy Continued ==

I will cease with the edit summary nonsense effective today. But can you let this [[User:Sdman213|user]] know for next time, if someone leaves a message on their talk page, not to be rude and answer them. It also provides assurance that a solution can be reached if there is a problem. I find it ironic that he will respond to other users talk pages but not me. Now that’s not courteous.😒 And I thought maybe someone with higher level experience hear this. {{User:Marino13/sig}} 20:04, May 10, 2023 (EDT)
:I have to be honest, I've looked into this (as have a few other admins) and I don't think Sdman has done anything wrong based on our policy. Users aren't required to respond to every message they get, and generally we'll only step in if it's impacting the quality of the wiki (i.e. a user continuing to break rules after being notified, or ignoring attempts to solve an editing dispute). I don't think that line has been crossed here. At most there's a handful of messages asking about reverted edits, but I checked up on those and they were already handled by clear edit summaries anyway. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:13, May 11, 2023 (EDT)

== Golf ==

I'll prelude this by saying the MK8 one wasn't mine and I agree it shouldn't have lost information (though I want to table it as well into something that actually has the required information...and I think the current gallery images are really poor tiny in-game crops, so the icons are probably the right way to go.). Anyways, I asked around several chats on Discord (as in, off-wiki people, so potential readers rather than editors... so, our demographic) which of our takes on the ''Mario Golf'' character tables worked better for them, and I got unanimous support on that front. Just wanted to let you know. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:37, May 31, 2023 (EDT)
:The reason I redid that one was because someone on Discord complained about it going off the edge of their screen, with no option to scroll. Even as I was working on it though I wondered if it really needs a table since there's so little information there, though. That and the Strikers table aren't the [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/297596959026446337/1113570870137454703/image.png only] [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/297596959026446337/1113570793511735307/image.png instances] of these revisions not playing nice on smaller screens, by the way. (Yeah, I knew the MK8 one wasn't yours. I think those images ''did'' come from the official website, but icons are probably more consistent considering that's all we have for the DLC characters.) --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:11, May 31, 2023 (EDT)
::Hmm, so if the table could be made to have an interior scroll on smaller screens, might that solve the issue while still not being.... overly blank? I have training in web design programming, I could pull it off. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:20, May 31, 2023 (EDT)

== [[User talk:GuntherBB#Fanon content|Re: Fanon content]] ==

Hi! In addition to your position as the Fake News Director, you can also open an upcoming Mario fanon wiki called "Fake News NOW". It will be a fanon counterpart of Super Mario Wiki, just like how Ukikipedia is a Super Mario 64 counterpart of the Super Mario Wiki. For example, the name of Fake News NOW's main page when opened will say "Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki", and the name of the page about the canon article focusing on Mario when opened will say "Mario - Fake News NOW, a Super Mario fanon wiki". You can be the webmaster of Fake News NOW and hire Super Mario Wiki users to create their Fake News NOW accounts create fanon pages. Here's the URL for Fake News NOW:

<code><nowiki>http://www.mariofnn.com/</nowiki></code>

Also, here's the interwiki link to Fake News NOW:

<code><nowiki>[[fakenewsnow:]]</nowiki></code>

[[mw:Manual:Installing MediaWiki|This manual on installing MediaWiki]] will help you set up Fake News NOW. Also, [[mw:Manual:Interwiki|this manual about interwiki links]] will help you set up the interwiki link to Fake News NOW.

Would you like to [[mw:Download|download and install MediaWiki]] so you can set up the Fake News NOW wiki? --{{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 18:49, June 5, 2023 (EDT)

==Clarification on [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/61#Discourage drive-by templating part 2|this proposal]]==
Hey, so Swallow notified me about that proposal from a while back that I wasn't aware of, and I'm confused about it. You can refer to our user pages to get up to speed (most of it is on Swallow's). Fair enough, many of those were quite old and outdated, but I still think some of the articles that used to have one of those templates don't really require much discussion to enact even now: some cases are either self-evident or policy-driven (i.e.recent/common). Glancing at your edit history, I'll just pick out a few that stand out to me, in my opinion: arrow wheel, Bowser Memory ML, CLEAR Block, Little Ogre, M-Token, Papa (disambiguation), Power Sneakers, spotted platform, Switch Block (Yoshi's Island series), Yoshi Island Spirits... However, Swallow tells me that, apparently, all of the articles that used to have those templates now require having discussions (re)opened. This is especially troublesome because I already moved spotted platform and "Switch Block" earlier due to the former being superseded and the latter's lack of better source, but those articles used to have a move template, so does that mean all that work will be unnecessarily undone? I interpret the proposal as intended to be more of an immediate clean-up rather than a super-strict rule since you used phrases like "some level of discretion," and genuinely, I don't think that part of the proposal was "set in stone" - was it something that came up at a different point? EDIT: I didn't see Swallow's most recent talk page comment until after posting, so it looks like there was a misunderstanding after all. Oh well. I guess the lesser points I've made at Swallow's talk page still stand, so as the proposer, I'm curious what you think regardless. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 15:11, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:Yes, this is meant to be a change going forward since it's addressing more problems than just a cleanup of the categories (and besides, a cleanup is only useful if you keep it clean). The references to discretion were specifically in reference to what defines an inactive discussion.
:The proposal doesn't affect any scenarios where the change is something that should just be done right away according to policy, since in that case you can probably just go ahead and make the change without needing to discuss it. It also wouldn't require any changes to be undone. It affects when those templates can be used and nothing else. Whether an old discussion needs to be reopened depends on how much engagement it got before going inactive. If it got some decent support but the change was just never made for whatever reason, you could probably just go ahead and make that change, but if it was inconclusive, better to open it up again before putting those templates back.
:My view on discussion activity is that if you're suggesting a change, it's your responsibility (or supporters' responsibility) to keep that discussion active until it reaches a conclusion, and if that doesn't happen, then there's really no need to keep bloating those categories with suggestions from years back that never panned out. Keeping a discussion active is as simple as bumping it or moving on to the proposal stage anyway.
:Hopefully that clears everything up, but if I missed something or anything's still unclear, let me know. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:14, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::Gonna put my two cents here, sometimes it's helpful to put those on there if policy dictates a move, but you don't have time to move it at the moment. The template works as a nice reminder without having to make a talk page over what should be a matter-of-policy move. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:17, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:::Drive-by templating like that eventually leads to bloated maintenance categories (which isn't very editor friendly) and is something we've been trying to avoid recently. You should probably just wait until you have time to make the change. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:25, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::::I mean, from my perspective - as someone who's been guilty of "drive-by templating" - it's actually been helpful on my end to keep track of things. Seeing those still up after a while aided me in gauging situations, since my theory was that the longer exposure would naturally attract the strongest voices/opinions over time, and if it turned out that it didn't, it sometimes let me know that things were in the clear to proceed whenever I got around to revisiting. I did obviously open discussions when I thought things might have more contention right off the bat, but I suppose I did admittedly treat the template as a buffer between deeper discussion and outright editing. Again, I wasn't aware of the proposal or other discussion, so it is news to me now that it was seen as a problem to be taken care of. I am sorry that a number of users on the other end (over twenty!) viewed it as an eyesore. In fairness, I'll also say that it sometimes slips my mind that the move templates don't allow you to add your reason as a parameter, unlike the rewrite templates, so I would occasionally start to write reasons within the template, only to remember afterwards in preview that it doesn't quite work like that; therefore, I would often be forced to relegate those reasons to the edit summary, where I understand things tend to get buried. Would appending a similar reason parameter to those templates instead have worked to mitigate the issue? It would have made things more in line with the first drive-by proposal. And another thing still doesn't add up to me: like I said, I believe that proposal was made after Porple hid most meta categories/templates from visibility when signed out. I thought that already served to address it? As such, I feel like a proposal/discussion about it came...maybe a little late. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:48, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:::::That seems reasonable, I certainly wouldn't oppose having an option to include a reason on those templates in lieu of immediately starting a discussion (though if it's something that requires a paragraph to explain, that's probably better on the talk page). As far as I'm concerned, maintenance templates/categories being hidden when logged out is a completely unrelated matter. I was more concerned with keeping the maintenance categories themselves at a reasonable size (the more pages there are, the more overwhelming it is and the less likely it is any individual one will be addressed from there) and ensuring that the reasoning behind a suggestion is easily accessible. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 20:00, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::::::I see. Well, I think it would be a fair compromise. If a "Discourage drive-by templating part 2.5" needs to be made for this parameter, maybe I'm not the one who should do it. Would you like to make it instead? Can you think of any other ways to improve templating before another proposal is written? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:09, August 6, 2023 (EDT)
:::::::It probably doesn't need a proposal at all. I don't know why the addition would be controversial, and allowing the parameter to be used instead of a talk page discussion still follows the spirit of the original proposal, if not the letter (which it couldn't have since it wasn't an option at the time). I would suggest also adding a date parameter to go along with it like some of the other maintenance templates have. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:56, August 6, 2023 (EDT)

== Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Revision ==

Hi! I'm not the user whose edit you undid in [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe&oldid=3964175 this revision], but I wanted to follow up with it as it was a question I had [[Talk:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Wave 6 original order?|already asked on the talk page]] and had not received a response.

Part of why I believe this would be a worthy inclusion even though we don't know what courses will be in Wave 6 yet is because we ''do'' know some of the courses that were ''supposed'' to be in Wave 6 -- [[Wii Maple Treeway]] and [[Wii Moonview Highway]] are both already indicated to have been intended for that wave in the section (or at least the code used for Moonview Highway, though it was apparently a new track), while [[Tour Athens Dash]] and [[Tour Vancouver Velocity]] implicitly are as well, as they are not listed in any of the other waves. While this information is implied by the section, it's peculiarly left out of the complete list. Since we already know that at least those courses have been changed, I see no reason why we shouldn't go ahead and have a column. It would help readers to visualize which slots in Wave 6 we know will have been replaced when the wave does roll around. [[Special:Contributions/73.171.36.107|73.171.36.107]] 21:27, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:Ah, I see now. Admittedly, I quickly looked at the edit but didn't realize that some of the tracks in the original Wave 6 are now in other waves, so the final one will definitely be different then. In that case, I think it's fine to put back on the page, though I don't have time to figure out the proper wikicode right now. Thanks for pointing this out and clarifying. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 22:10, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
::No worries! I'm not able to edit the page myself as I don't have an account, but here is the correct wikicode if you would like to copy-paste it. I went ahead and removed the placeholder column for Wave 6 (final), since we don't know any information on it yet, and I split it into two rows of two waves each to make it a bit less condensed.

== How do you add stuff to Template:Button? ==

Hi, Waluigi Time. I hope you're doing well.

Within the past year, I have uploaded assets for the Nvidia Shield TV and iQue Player controllers with the intent of having them integrated into [[Template:Button]], but I am not tech savvy enough to figure out how to do this. Do you know what one needs to do to add new button options? Thanks.

Issue 200 of ''The 'Shroom'' is great, btw. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 13:44, December 2, 2023 (EST)
:It looks like a new button can be added pretty easily by adding a single line of code. Here's the one for the A button on the Switch, for example.
:<pre>|switch-a=<span title="A Button">[[File:Switch A Button.svg|{{{size|x16px}}}|link=|class=invert-dark|A Button]]</span></pre>
:So you would replace ''switch-a'' with whatever code you want to be used to make that button appear, and then swap out the image and the span title/image caption. Hopefully that helps, but if you're having trouble with it then let me know and I can try to add it if you tell me what specific buttons you want added.
:I'm glad you enjoyed the issue! --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 13:50, December 2, 2023 (EST)
::This was helpful, thank you. This is probably obvious, but where would I physically write out this code? Because it does not seem to be how buttons are coded when I go to "Edit" on Template:Button, so I assume I have to be doing this on a different page. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 14:06, December 2, 2023 (EST)

== Mario Kart Tour icons ==

Hey, Waluigi Time. So I was told to give a pause of separating history on articles. Since you brought up the ''Mario Kart Tour'' articles being extremely large, I thought about drafting the template icons to help reduce the mess; I am working on the project here: [[User:Derekblue1/sandbox]]. What do you think? {{User:Derekblue1/sig}} 03:40, December 3, 2023 (EST)
:I don't think the code itself is the issue, it's the sheer amount of images being displayed on the page. The template would reduce how many bytes the pages are, but it wouldn't do anything to solve the actual problems. What really needs to be done is replacing the images with a text list of those subjects, which would also help for readability. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:41, December 3, 2023 (EST)
::I'm personally in support of such a template. If the Tour articles are extremely large, they just need to be split into more of them. Given all the character variations, reading stuff like Mario (Raindeer), Mario (Spaceman), Mario (Classic), in a crammed list would introduce an annoyance of its own. See like the [[Mario_Kart_Tour#Daily_Selects|Daily selects]] section for example. That's way too many gliders, characters, crammed into one wikitable. [[User:Super Game Gear|Super Game Gear]] ([[User talk:Super Game Gear|talk]]) 13:33, December 3, 2023 (EST)
:::I can agree with you there, I don't think listing everything in a single block of text is ideal. I envision using bullet point lists instead and maybe doing away with the tables entirely. The problem with just splitting pages up more is that we have to ask if they can logically be split further without inconveniencing readers. For example, one of the longest Tour-related pages is [[List of N64 Kalimari Desert tour appearances in Mario Kart Tour]]. This covers both versions of the course, so we could probably split off the 2nd version. That would cut the page down by less than half, which still leaves a very large page behind. The only logical option for splitting further is by year, but that's splitting up a pretty simple topic (the appearances of a single course in the game) across potentially five pages for each year the game was in service. (Also, for my point about readability, try picking a single kart/glider from the game and trying to find where - or if - it appears on one of these pages.) --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 16:02, December 3, 2023 (EST)

Dear Waluigi Time,

My pet [[Conkdor]] keeps escaping from his cage. I actually made the cage by fusing my friends collection of [[Metal Cap|metal caps]] together. Last time he escaped I found him at a [[Condart]] farm which weirdly enough was a glass dome. The time before that, I found him at a Construction site with a lot of Conveyor belts, and there he was looking Confused with Confetti on the floor. It feels like there is a HUGE CON being played on me! My question is: What is happening and how and why is my Conkdor escaping?

== Dear Waluigi Time ==

Dear Waluigi Time,

I was playing Pizza Tower, when a weird portal appeared. Suddenly Pizzaface came and said he would blow up my house! I didn't know what to do, so when he fled, I went after him. When I went through, I saw this big tower-like thing that was like it was made up of towers, spires, etc. Strangely, there was sand & grass together! I see at the front of the big tower-like thing a big group of people, which reminds me of Peppino Spaghetti and the various other characters from not only Pizza Tower, but also its various mods and fangames! What do I do!?

SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)

P.S. The version of Pizza Tower I was playing specifically was Pizza Tower United Community Edition 4.5 Experimental Build 1 on top of Pizza Tower Noise Update (V1.1.0).

Dear Waluigi Time,

Thanks for the answer! Surprisingly, Pizzaface didn't come back! Apparently the money in this tower is held by toppins. I don't know where the big group of people went, I assume they are in here as well. I've tried looking for "mustachioed Italians" like you said, but nothing YET. The portal disappeared as soon as I went through, so I couldn't just go back through. Plus, I don't want my house to blow up. The first open door I saw led to somewhere called "Tutorial". Upon completing it, I saw something that said "Lap portals unlocked". I think I'm going crazy! Laps!? And it didn't say which lap, so I assume all of them, but that's impossible! I thought I saw "mustachioed Italian" by this "boss gate", but nothing. It's open, but I don't want to go in without experience. Please help me with this.

SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)

P.S. Thank you again for the anwser! It was a lot of help! Though I'm not allergic to pizza. Surprisingly, there's enough food here for me to survive a long time! Plus drinks!

Dear Waluigi Time, 

Your answers are really helping me! I got past 5 floors, but for some reason, what I thought led to the final boss was blocked! Instead there was an elevator to the 6th floor. I thought there was just 5! Must be some sort of after-effect from me entering there. I did get access to a vehicle (a car to be exact, but for some reason it was "from me", despite me never getting a car, it does have unlimited fuel, so no need on getting any), so lapping was much easier! I still need help on how the heck I can defeat Pizzaface! What if he pulls any tricks? Or worse, brings in other villains from other universes or multiverses? I won't know what to do!

SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)

P.S. Sorry about not sending a pizza, I couldn't find any to send. The closest I could find was [[File:WTPineapplePizzaCereal.png|50px]](NOTE: When/if you put this in the Shroom, please have this link to the file -> "your cereal"). Weird that your cereal exists in this universe, maybe there's an alternate version of you and me here? I'll have to look.

P.P.S. How do you get those pictures? They're really good!

P.P.P.S. I did find a paintbrush where I fought the 1st boss, I haven't found any uses. Also sorry if I'm bothering you with 3 questions in a row.

I figured there aren't enough images of Wario being set on fire, so I decided to broadcast Marioboard's famous Hurt and Heal Warios winner, FLAMING WARIO ([https://www.marioboards.com/threads/39547/#post-1986837 don't believe me, here are the results for your LYING eyes]).

I don't know if you're still doing "Dear Waluigi Time", but here is a high effort garbage post from me. Something needs to be done! Or nothing. So, Dear Waluigi Time, which solutions are the most effective ones here? I've actually tried "call the fire fighters" and it worked out decently well, but I might give the others a shot.

So I was wondering, how would one stop being a skeleton and come back to life?<br>Thanks in advance, DryBonesBandit

== About my pet Spike Top... ==

[[File:Spike Top in midair SMW.gif|thumb|left|My Spike Top freaking out]][[File:UM3DMST88 Wario.jpg|thumb|left]]
Heya, Waluigi. It's about my pet Spike Top... Over the past few weeks, he's been growing increasingly hostile towards anything that remotely resembles- or remeinds him of Wario, whether it's garlic, farts or anything of the sort. In extreme moments of stress and frustrations, he packs heat in a Looney Tunes-style fashion, or even would spin or run around in mid-air. Is this a normal behavior? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 14:04, August 2, 2024 (EDT)

== Halloween edition ==
Dear Waluigi Time,<br>
So, it’s the Halloween season, and I wanted to prepare, so I decided to purchase carved pumpkins for decoration. I thought it was fishy that they came from space and a random ghost house, but I didn’t care since they were cheap. Turns out, they were cheap because they were alive, and are now living in my house and I cannot evict them. The Jack o’Goomba keeps setting my house on fire, and the Splunkin keeps replacing the light bulbs with candles and changing the decor! What should I do? -DryBonesBandit

== Dear Waluigi Time... but spooky! ==

Dear Waluigi Time, <br>
Halloween's just around the corner--funny thing is, Halloween is ''also'' my birthday! Really! But I'm stumped on what to do for my party... I like "spooky Halloween" themes, but I also want to sprinkle in some "birthday" theming. Problem is, there aren't any stores that seem to sell "spooky Halloween birthday" themed decorations! At least, that's what the Gold Ghosts haunting my house told me. Anyways, I'm gonna need some advice to make my Halloween-birthday-party-thing have the right balance of spooky fun and celebrating [REDACTED] years being alive (and cursed to having ghosts haunt me every October)! Please get back to me when you can!

Sincerely, a Distressed Birthday Girl

== Wario is strapped to a firework!!!🎆 ==

Ha! You think I forgot about Wario and didn't post about the inevitable winter solstice? Think again. Wario has been causing so much trouble and other foul behavior by setting off fireworks past 2am for the past weeks before and after New Year's Day. Luckily, karma has caught up to him (which is easy since Wario wasted all his funds on professional fireworks and nothing on the gas for his motor bike), and Waluigi has accidentally lasso'd Wario onto here. He then fled the scene to save his own paltry skin, or whatever that's attached to those bones of his! So here's Wario,  about to set off! What will you do???

|Call the police<br>[[File:MPT Police running.png|180px]]
|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|It's waaaay past midnight and you definitely don't want to be the one that police mistake you for being ''that'' person at night. The police also have excellent experience chasing after this miscreant since the infamous Power Tennis incident (even if Wario has improved the flattering quality of Mario's double chin and toothless smirk on that scoreboard).
|style="background:#FFF7B8;text-align:left"|When has the police ever been competent in Saturday cartoons? They have their sirens blasting around all night, so it's not like they know what dealing with irritating nighttime noises really feels like.
|-
|Call the firefighters<br>[[File:Luigi and Mario firefighters - Super Mario no Shobotai.png|180px]]
|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|These are professionals that know exactly what to do when there are illegal, professional grade quality fireworks involved. This will minimize the amount of clean up YOU will have to do after the fiery blast! Wouldn't you rather spend this evening on nice snacks and watching ''Super Mario no Shōbōtai''?
|style="background:#FFF7B8;text-align:left"|Given Wario's general incompetence, the firework may as well end up being a dud, and you'll just make the firefighters really annoyed at you for forcing them up at 2am. As with the police, they also are prone to making very annoying nighttime noises that make dogs very sad.
|-
|Call Waluigi<br>[[File:Mss hrc wario waluigi.png|200px]]
|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|You might as well if you're totally out of options and it's raining anyway.
|style="background:#FFF7B8;text-align:left"|Waluigi will just run off his mouth how Luigi is really the one who's setting off these darned fireworks. Of course, no one believes him.
|-
|Use a flamethrower<br>[[File:DarknCrispy.png|x130px]]
|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|Speeds up the process so you don't have to continue watching Wario writhing and farting around and making all that terrible WAH noises. Wario's fat will also provide additional fuel so that fire can help propel that firework even higher into the sky! If you can breathe fire, you can do this right away!
|style="background:#FFF7B8;text-align:left"|Doesn't work as well when it's raining. Do you really want to introduce more fire to this, because you risk burning down that nearby retirement home???
|-
|Transport the firework to Waluigi's house<br>[[File:GLABlue-MK8.png]]
|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|Serves Waluigi right for betraying Wario. You'll need some transport. Given the ridiculous amount of SUVs that were designed for towing, yet most SUV owners don't tow, it'll be easy to just borrow someone's SUV, drop off Wario at Waluigi's place, and just return it when you're done. Even if the firework doesn't go off, Waluigi will still have to deal with Wario's smelly aura.
|style="background:#FFF7B8;text-align:left"|Waluigi may offer to buy your car. He knows all sorts of sleazeball car dealer tactics. Do you know the same? No, you're not the one setting off those fireworks at night!

|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|Let's be honest, everyone hates these, especially the pets who are also entitled to a lovely New Years Day as much as anyone else. Why not take the time to writing something up so this kind of misfortune never happens again? All that writing for the 'Shroom needs to pay off. Put your nimble fingers to use! Don't forget to ban Katy Perry's "Firework" while you're at it, and maybe Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You".
|style="background:#FFF7B8;text-align:left"|If you don't do it now, you'll just forget to do this until next year. And as they say, next year never comes. Since you're in close proximity to Wario, you also risk that firework burning your papers or a nearby Wi-Fi device so it'll erase your progress!

|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|Save a life today by pounding your butt into the fuse! And no loud noise will be made! Your neighbors will certainly thank you.
|style="background:#FFF7B8;text-align:left"|This will just save Wario's life, and you still have to deal with him being strapped to the firework to begin with. That guy is prone to stealing credit cards and proof of insurance cards! You can't afford to do this!
|-
|Do nothing<br>[[File:SMBDX Fireworks Pic.png|x180px]]
|style="background:#ffbfbf;text-align:left"|Sit back and watch Wario blast off again and explode. Again. Take a selfie while you're at it!

== Good work ==

{{WikiLove Star Get}}

Though there are several deprecated templates that didn't work out (which is why we have proposals), I'm posting this to acknowledge the good work that you're doing. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 12:48, January 23, 2025 (EST)

== Removing notice templates ==

I've noticed you frequently removing tags indicating work or improvements. For example, the ''Sticker Star'' stickers, which are in a limbo of being either sprite rips (which are inaccurate to their in-game appearance) or [[:File:SquirtgunPMSS.png|blurry, low quality screenshots]]. Similarly, you've removed talk templates when no conclusion was reached, almost systematically judging by them going in alphabetical order. [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) sound test|This article]] should not have had its construction tag removed because there are blatantly empty columns. There's no point in removing these templates to ensure the work is harder to find for people who want to do it. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 03:22, February 6, 2025 (EST)
:The reason I removed the templates on the thing stickers (as mentioned in my first edit) was because of the shine effect that appears on them in-game. A direct sprite rip can't replicate that and I don't think it's beneficial to prioritize an image that doesn't accurately display the subject as you would see it in-game, and multiple users agreed with me before I went ahead with removing the templates. Nothing against possibly having the sprite rips uploaded against, but I don't think they should outright replace the more accurate in-game display. The inconsistency is a separate issue that we need to work out as editors, but until then we don't need templates asking for them to be reuploaded in a specific way.
:As far as talk templates, that's something I (and some current staff members) have been doing for a while simply to aid in usability of the category. I try to be careful not to remove any talk templates when there's a question of fact, but often times someone will make a suggestion to split, merge, or rename a page, and then the discussion just sits there for months or even years without any action. Over time those messages really start to clog up the category and make it very difficult to find anything (at some points in time, the category has had well over ''400'' pages). The way I see it, if you're suggesting a change to organization, it's your responsibility to keep that discussion active and follow through in some way. (Thankfully, recent changes by Porple have made it so that those issues should go under the appropriate maintenance categories instead of taking up space in unresolved issues, so that should be less of a problem going forward.)
:That being said, I recognize that my judgment obviously isn't perfect and I welcome anyone to revert the edit or start a discussion if they feel I removed something in error. Case in point, the sound test article! I was mainly checking to see if all the songs had samples and the empty columns slipped past me. So thanks for catching that one. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 11:53, February 6, 2025 (EST)
