Names in Other Languages

Hello, I noticed you edited many Names in Other Languages sections, particularly Romanian and Dutch names. You have removed some of them, so I'd like to ask if you are sure these names are irrelevant. -Sudowoodo (talk) 08:10, 19 August 2014 (EDT)

Multiple edits

You aren't supposed to do so much edits in a row like you did in Hazy Maze Cave. From now on if you have to edit multiple sections click the edit button at the top and edit them all at once, thanks. TSUNAMI

Re:Walkazo

Pantaro first posted it here, when I thought it was actually Walkazo posting the edit summary and that. I was taking a break from working with my mods when I first saw it, and I couldn't believe my eyes nor what my mind comprehended when I clicked to see that edit. I really thought Pantaro was a troll or something, but how could trolls access bureaucrat's accounts, as it was posted under Walkazo's name? So I brought it up in Wiki chat and they pretty much confirmed that it was genuine and that Pantaro is her brother. No, I'm not related to Walkazo but yes, her death made me realize how much I really loved and cared about her... Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:31, 30 March 2016 (EDT)

I don't mean to be rude but I had a childhood friend who died the exact same way as walkazo and I really don't want to be reminded of her every time I look at the main page, especially since she was also a big mario fan, so if someone could do something about it that would be nice. I have a type of personality disorder which causes me to have emotional stress triggered much more easily than most other people

Uh, sorry, that's not going to change. The only thing I can say right now is to avoid the main page until we finish grieving for Walkazo. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:17, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Re: Username

You'll have to ask Glowsquid (talk) or just post a request on this page. Probably better to go with the second one. - Turboo (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

Americas and Oceania

When they said you could change Australia to Oceania but keep North America as-is, they meant to keep North America as-is and not change it to "the Americas." So go ahead and change every release date mention of Australia, but leave America alone, please. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:01, 15 July 2017 (CT)

Ugh, sorry for hurting America! It won't happen again! Gold Luigi (talk) 05:03, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

Thank you. Now it probably will occur that that part will eventually go through, but for now, keep the Americas as-is. Keep up the good work. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:07, 15 July 2017 (CT)

Changing names

Keep in mind that whenever you change the name of a mainspace article, an image, or anything else, you're also responsible for fixing all of the links so that they use the current name rather than the foreign name. For example, everything that links to File:Flag of Europe.png should be changed so that they link to File:Flag of European Union.png. Linking to redirects instead of the direct source is discouraged by policy. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 17:32, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

Oh my god... this is gonna take forever. Rip me. Can I start tomorrow? Gold Luigi (talk) 17:42, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

Start whenever you're ready, just make sure you get it done. This also goes for File:Flag of HK.png and File:Flag of ROC.png. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 17:49, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

*sigh* Is there any way to change them all with just one edit? Gold Luigi (talk) 18:04, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

Porplemontage (talk) might get a bot to make all those edits for you if you explain this to him. 18:26, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

I was going to give you a spiel about rolling up your sleeves and getting to work, but now that I've looked into it, the issue is a bit more complicated than that. The flags are appearing on pages through the use of Template:Released, and they are called using the names of the files. For example, {{released|Japan|November 1, 2007}} would cause the Japanese flag to appear, as the name of the original image is File:Flag of Japan.png. Since these names are going to be referenced often, they're named in such a way that they're convenient to reference, which is why it's Flag of USA.png and not "Flag of the United States of America.png". With that in mind, it may be best to keep the flags with their original names. Yes, the flag that we're using for "Europe" is really for the European Union, but we've still called it "Europe" because it's more convenient for editors, and those are the people who are going to be using it the most. If you had to type "Hong Kong" on dozens of pages, as you dreaded doing, you'd also prefer having a more convenient alternative, which is why the name of the file is "Flag of HK.png". Your heart's in the right place, but I'd say we should leave things as they were. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 18:31, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

Yeah, that's what I'm also thinking, but I'm still not sure if they should stay with their original name. I'll let you know if I change my mind. Until then, DO NOT use the new names. Gold Luigi (talk) 18:34, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

After some thinking, I actually decided to change the current names back to their original names. Should I do it, or will you do it for me? And just to let you know, I did those changes on the main page for MK7, so I'm not sure if this changes anything, but if it does, go do the changes there if you want. Gold Luigi (talk) 18:50, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

Actually never mind, I changed them. Gold Luigi (talk) 03:38, 7 August 2017 (EDT)

SMO

The Power Moon color chart already indicates that there are Power Stars in place of Moons in the Mushroom Kingdom. Don't see a reason not to show that the Darker Side's only Power Moon is a Multi Moon. 18:49, 17 November 2017 (EST)

IQue

Hi. Although I'm not 100% sure these games have been localized by iQue, there is an article on a Chinese website implying that it has been so in general:

这之后，神游彻底放弃了在中国大陆单独发行游戏的计划，转型为任天堂的外包基地，一方面为任天堂在海外发售的港版、台版等游戏做简体中文的本土化及测试工作，扮演“官方汉化组”的角色；另一方面 [...]

After this, iQue completely gave up the plan to release game titles in Mainland China on its own, and instead became an outsourcing base of Nintendo. It began doing Simplified Chinese localization and testing for oversea editions of Nintendo games such as the Hong Kong and Taiwan versions, playing the role of the "official localization group" for Nintendo, while [...]

同其它未在国内上市却拥有简体中文内容的游戏一样，《精灵宝可梦：太阳/月亮》简体中文版的汉化由神游负责。

Pokémon Sun and Moon, like all the games that hadn't been released in [mainland] China but offered Simplified Chinese content, was localized by iQue into Simplified Chinese.

That's what I suppose. User:H.N.K. might know more. --Dine2017 (talk) 07:55, 18 December 2017 (EST)

• Well, you shouldn't include any Wii games, since they were never translated to Simplified Chinese. You shouldn't also include Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7, since these games WERE released in China. Gold Luigi (talk) 08:13, 18 December 2017 (EST)

Reuploading

Most of the time when you upload a new image, you have to refresh the page by pressing Ctrl+F5. The page glitches and shows the previous image revision instead upon uploading, so you have to bypass it.
Additionally, can you upload the legend with the map as well, so people know what the colors mean? 16:38, 10 February 2018 (EST)

I'll put the legend in the Summary, so that other people can easily fix typographical and grammatical errors. Also, how should I exactly name it? I don't think people will understand it as "Legend". Gold Luigi (talk) 16:41, 10 February 2018 (EST)

"Legend" or "key" are the usual words to use. 16:45, 10 February 2018 (EST)

The latest revision can't be deleted/edited, unfortunately. What you can do, though, is upload it again but with the same summary as when you first uploaded it ("Separated Nintendo Co., Ltd." etc. though you may want to make it shorter to fit the URL), and I can delete the other four revisions.
