Should we start adding these kind of sections into articles? Xzelion^ETC

Definitely. Alternatively, somethings can just be linked back to Wikipedia. -- Chris 04:13, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

Question

It's ok in events that we have more than on FA put onto FA status at the same time, instead of choosing one and shunning the other for a week, that we use the choose extension so all get the limelight? ^Plumber 02:52, 15 September 2007 (EDT)

They are all FAs. One is just spotlighted every week. Just beacause K. Rool is on the main page does not mean Goomba and Yoshi are not FAs. They are listed on the FA page and in the FA category. They are all FAs. -- Son of Suns

Recently Template

Do we need this? There isn't much news normally to warrant a whole section, the sitenotice usually does fine. ^Plumber 05:10, 15 September 2007 (EDT)

I like the old one better since it has original poses... ^{Plumber, darkgreen} 02:41, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

Smash Bros. Article separations

i have noticed the Smash Bros. Info in articles such as Mario, Yoshi, and Wario are very crammed in there along with their trophy info. I was wondering if we could mabey do separate pages for SSB Mario character info. Like call for example this article title: "Wario (SSB)" , which would be strictly Super Smash Bros. related to Wario. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 22:00, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

And, you got this idea from SmashWiki, didn't you? My Bloody Valentine

No it just looks out of place in the articles. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

This would just create more stub articles, or articles that would eventually be argued into remerging. -- Chris 23:26, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

I agree with Ghost Jam. My Bloody Valentine

The information does not have to be smashed (forgive me) together. We have sections for stats and in-game information in these articles - trophy info can be moved to this stats section, instead of being in the Super Smash Bros. section. That is perfectly acceptable. -- Son of Suns

Super Smash Bros Brawl Forum

Does anybody know what section should I go to SSBB forums in the MarioWiki Forums?F g

Don't flame me but it'd be the console gaming section. Xzelion^ETC

Thanks for responding because I had trouble searching for it. F g

No #darkmyst?

I've just been informed from Darkmyst op komies that all users with a host mask of !WikiGuest@ (thus all users using Special:Chat here) are blocked from #darkmyst, because we as a group caused too much trouble (*coughPlumber+Saudycough*). Whether Snack (talk) knew this or not, I dunno, but he had to be server killed today for going in there, as the guys in #darkmyst hate our guts now (great........), and now he has been brought down with Uniju for two weeks (if he tries to evade, it's longer...).

I've never heard of this development, maybe I missed something. If it's new to you, then just don't go to #darkmyst, no one talks there anyway. If it's old...keep avoiding it, I guess...feels great to be hated, eh? Wa _T^C_@^Y 18:22, 25 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, this is just ducky. So we can't use our chat? 3D, BAD BAD PLUMBER *spank*

Well, you can't go to #darkmyst on chat. Wa _T^C_@^Y 16:13, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

OK. So this means that we can use the normal chat server? 3D, Pit of 100 Trials = EVIL.

Yup. By the way, Wayoshi started the hatred, not me! Saudy and I made them hate us more, though. ^Plumber 14:37, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

MPA Icons

Attention: Just to let everyone know, I have recently uploaded images of the Mario Party Advance Map icons. If anyone would like to use them to help out the articles for the Shroom City page before I do, please do. Thank you. Mr.Benio

Will you be using these by tomorrow? Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:18, 27 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, I might, but I may have to do some important college work. I was hoping that you guys might take advantage of these images too. After all, the articles for the Shroom City Page is quite due for a fixer-upper. Mr.Benio

MPA Progress

Well, that's 16 articles made/renewed. Are you guys sure you don't want to help me out on this? Because I'm going to take a nice break now.

Mr.Benio 18:08, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

Ah; I used to work on the Mario Party Advance articles... Until I was too busy, maybe I could take the job for now... RAP... RAPstar's taking it, I bet it's the taker of taking it!

Rating Images

I was thinking of a more effective way to list the ratings of a game on the game articles, and I was thinking. Should we use the official Rating Images used on so many boxarts? You know, such as the green box with "G" in it, and the yellow box with "PG" in it. My Bloody Valentine

Don't we already do that? We use the official "E", "T" and "M" ratings. We can add more official ratings for other regions though. -- Son of Suns

The MA rating? Wasn't it KA? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:36, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

Whoops! I meant just "M" (and have changed it). Although no Mario game has a "M"ature rating, it is another rating example. -- Son of Suns

We've already decided to use ESRB, PEGI and CERO ratings in the infoboxes. Would that mean we'd need images for all of them? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:43, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

We don't need to use the images - just the words and letters so we can save space and list multiple ratings. -- Son of Suns

As I recall, we used the rating images in the first place because we thought it would look cool to have them in the info boxes. And, honestly, it did. -- Chris 22:03, 13 October 2007 (EDT)

Improvement Drive

Should we put the MarioWiki: Improvement Drive on the main sidebar navigation? -- Son of Suns

That would mean it would be a much easier access. Twink approves. ^_^

Sounds good. My Bloody Valentine

Talk archive

Could I make a template for my talk archives?toadbert

Use a sub-page of your user page and include it like signatures. Wa _T^C_@^Y 18:40, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Ok,thx Wayo. (Toadbert101||Give a yell|Sez:I phailz) 18:44, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Table Trouble

I have a little problem. The Gaming Acheivements section in my homepage has been getting a little long, and I have been wanting to make a table out of them. One part being games I copleted, one part finished games, and the third being for other acheivments. I looked at how it's done on the help section, and saw the table in the Shroom City article as an example, but it just looks too complicated for me. Do you have any advice?

Mr.Benio

Template:Undead

Should {{Undead}} be used on pages instead of {{UnDead}}, {{Boos}} and {{Ghosts}}? Or do you think we should keep the separate templates? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:34, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

Anyone? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:16, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Yes. Deleting {{UnDead}}, {{Boos}} and {{Ghosts}} as you read. -- Chris 02:21, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

No more Stub Deletions?

After the outcome of our latest proposal we will no longer delete stubs, so will we stop deleting stubs period or will we only delete one-liners and obvious info filled articles? Xzelion^ETC

This is the kind of stuff that should have been brought up in said proposal. >_> -- Chris 23:38, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
