| | :I am aware. The way the bestiary template works is it provides the autolink for the image to use in the bestiary. Sometimes it already exists, sometimes it doesn't. This is just to keep the images following a specific naming scheme.

| Hello! I know my edit [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Template:Mrkbenemy&diff=prev&oldid=2282584 here] ended up messing things up, but is there a way to stop that from showing up on articles? --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 17:03, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
| | == Plural linking == |
| :I don't believe so. It's set up that way for all the enemy templates. Can you show me on what article its showing up?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 17:13, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::It shows up on the articles with the vertical version of the template, such as [[MegaDragonBowser]]. While it could just be my iPad, it doesn't happen for the other enemy templates. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 18:03, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::So, since removing the leftover |} broke the template, I added a {| to the beginning of the template and that appears to have fixed the problem. I checked the pages with the vertical template, and nothing seems out of the ordinary. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:28, 6 September 2017 (EDT)

| == Collaboration project? ==
| | Just one thing to keep in mind, if you're linking plural terms such as "Goombas" it does not need to be a piped link. You can link it like <nowiki>[[Goomba]]s</nowiki> and it will come out just fine. Even though ones like "Spinies" will need to be a piped link. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} |
| | :''-facepalm-'' HOW DID I FORGET THAT???--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 14:04, September 16, 2020 (EDT) |
|
| |
|
| Hi, since you've returned, perhaps we could do a collaboration project where we work on the ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle'' levels? I tried contacting Alex95, but he doesn't have a copy of the game, and therefore cannot properly write up information on the levels. My comment to him was as follows:
| | == Something else to look into == |
| <blockquote>
| |
| Hi, I know you're currently creating articles for Super Mario Bros. levels, but is it possible for us to work on the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle levels together? I mean, we did do well in collaborating on creating the Super Mario Galaxy 2 missions, and besides, the level layout in Mario + Rabbids is pretty overwhelming in and of itself, so I want to see how YOU would do it! (Two is better than one in this case!) Additionally, my plan is to do the levels of the even worlds, while you would do the levels of the odd worlds. What do you say?
| |
| </blockquote>
| |
| So are ''you'' up for it? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 01:28, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :I mean, probably yeah. I was thinking about it already, figuring out how the battle maps could be displayed as a table and all, but that was about all I was thinking of.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 19:57, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::Then would it hurt to display a draft of the table setup on either my talk page or yours? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 20:08, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::We need to find a way to accurately convert an excel table to a mediawiki table, preserving the cell sizes, borders, colors, etc. for this to work.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 23:28, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::Here's a bit of a mockup I did. I think I covered all the parts of the maps. [https://imgur.com/a/rn6Qh https://imgur.com/a/rn6Qh] --{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 01:01, 8 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::Looks pretty good! This format is definitely something I could get behind. Be sure to inform me (or someone else) when you finish those maps so that we can start creating articles on the levels in the game. ;) {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 15:45, 8 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::::Alright. I'll keep working on them but in return you need to find some way to convert them as I mentioned. There's too much going on with the tables to make them with code by hand on the wiki, so Excel is the only option for making the tables first. Unless we can get permission to upload screenshots of the tables instead.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 22:41, 8 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::<del>Hmmm...that sounds easy enough. Why not try making it table format? I'll send in a draft once I'm finished with it. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 23:42, 8 September 2017 (EDT)</del>
| |
| :::::::''"Why not try making it table format"'' What do you mean? And I honestly think our best best is to get permission to upload images of the excel sheet.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 00:52, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::::Don't worry, I've realized my mistake by now. Clearly wasn't thinking it through. Yeah, I think we should try uploading them as screenshots. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 01:04, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::::::::Go get the necessary permissions for this. I'm of course assuming we need it.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 01:19, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
|
| Yo. While I may not be able to help with the description of articles, I can help with the table-based map. Putting together a map chart using wiki table syntax shouldn't be difficult for me to put together. I just need to know what to put in it.<br>
| | While it's nice that you're digging to find ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' enemy stats, it would be nice to also try and find durability stats for the various weapons in the game (e.g., how long [[Iron Boots]] can be used before they break). Just something I thought I'd bring up. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 14:09, September 16, 2020 (EDT) |
| As for the image, yeah uploading an image of the Excel sheet may not...look great. Second option, is there an in game map of some kind that can be used, like a minimap? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:19, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
| | :I tried that, but found that the durability varies. I'm not sure if it's different for every weapon, if it depends on how many enemies are hit, or dependent on your timing with the attack. Too many possible variables for me specifically to figure it out.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 14:14, September 16, 2020 (EDT) |
| :I'd much prefer to be the one making the maps. However, if you can easily recreate the maps quickly and accurately, then by all means give it a whirl. If not, screenshots are the best bet. Making the tables by code manually will take far too long, especially given the size of the maps. Also, there is no minimap so I have to analyze the map manually by moving through it.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 01:39, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
| | ::Ehh, that's alright. I was hoping for consistent values, but I guess not... {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 14:19, September 16, 2020 (EDT) |
| ::A template of some kind is the first thing that comes to mind, so the different parameters can be adjusted to make a map. There are plenty of variables to take into account, though, and going off of the image linked to above, there may be more than a template is able to handle precisely. The different pipe directions and character placements would especially be troublesome... Not impossible, though. Why don't you make a finalized version of a map image and I'll show it to the others and come to a decision on that? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 08:36, 10 September 2017 (EDT) | |

| ::::That looks pretty neat! I'll run it by the staff and see what they have to say. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:55, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::::Okay, so, the images can be uploaded, as long as they're kept simple like that and don't have any unnecessary enhancements or other details. A legend should also be included. Should an official map be created, then the images should be reuploaded. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:34, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::That's awesome! could you be more specific about "simple", "unnecessary enhancements", or "other details"?--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 19:15, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::::::"Simple" meaning how you have it currently. No need to add any backgrounds, random character images, etc. to make the image "more visually appealing". Just simply show what you need to and it'll be fine :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:49, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::::I will likely make all the maps before posting anything, that way any changes I make to the format later down the line can be applied.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 20:04, 11 September 2017 (EDT) | |
| :::::::::Alright, I finished the maps for Ancient Gardens, except for the Challenges. Might do those later on? Idk, but I uploaded the images of the maps.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 15:26, 13 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::::::Yeah, they look pretty good, but um... Uploading them all at once will leave them [[Special:UnusedImages|unused]] until the article is created. Might've been best to upload them during or after the article's creation, imo. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:45, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

| Hi, could you please make a correction to [[:File:MRKB AG6-1.png|this file]] and remove [[Ziggy]] from the legend, as they don't appear in that area? Thanks!

| P.S.: How are the Sherbet Desert maps coming along? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 01:30, 17 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :Oh, sure thing. You can find it right [https://twitter.com/Eldritchdraaks/status/909290145236393984 HERE]. I haven't started on the Sherbet Desert yet. The maps take some time to do, given their size, and the fact I have to replay levels to do them all. Of course, as I'm typing this I've just realized I could run through the worlds now and map them, and check out enemy/hero placement using let's plays. Anyways, please pardon my sass above. Saw an opportunity for a joke and took it. Idk what you mean. --{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 01:42, 17 September 2017 (EDT)

| ::::My bad. I ended up taking a week off for myself after finals. I've been.... VERY tired. Rest assured, I will get back to the maps. --{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 04:27, 1 October 2017 (EDT)

| :::::::Sorry for the late response. I know I don't, but it's just easier if I see a battle map and know what to expect. Like I said, I'll continue working on them when I'm done with another project, the PMTTYD Trouble Center missions, that I'm about to start (one of them, the SMR 3.0.4 levels, I '''''just''''' finished today). {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 11:57, 9 October 2017 (EDT)

| | |
| == File redirects ==
| |
| | |
| Ideally, it'd be best if file redirects didn't exist. If a file path needs to be corrected, it should be corrected on the page where the file name is incorrect. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:27, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :See, I'm working on the MRKB bestiary, trying to finish up the template. I'm including the various icons, and implementing them in such a way that they are automatically displayed based on the stats. For example, Team Jump vs Ground Pound, are two different icons for the jump stat. Now, there's also a Double Jump stat that uses the Team Jump icon, however it would be pointless to reupload the image under a different name to make it show up, so I'm instead using redirects, so an enemy with Double Jump redirects the icon to the Team Jump img. <s>Here's my problem: the jump thing worked just fine, but NONE of the other redirects are working. But then when is check a past version of the bestiary page, or edit the page, they show up, so I'm at a loss here.</s>--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 16:32, 20 October 2017 (EDT)

| :It's working now for some reason. shrug.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 16:35, 20 October 2017 (EDT)

| ::"Now, there's also a Double Jump stat that uses the Team Jump icon, however it would be pointless to reupload the image under a different name to make it show up, so I'm instead using redirects, so an enemy with Double Jump redirects the icon to the Team Jump img." - There are some templates that share images, even if the image are for two different things. You can use the image for two different things if they are shown that way in game, it will make sense.
| |
| ::But if there are two different icons, then by all means, use both icons. But there's no need to make a file redirect. Correct the image link instead. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:39, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::It's so much simpler with the redirects though, I don't see the problem. Each of the weapons alone would be reuploaded 4 or 5 times.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 16:41, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::Took me a while to find it, but [[MarioWiki:Redirects#Other_types_of_redirects|these redirects are actually against policy]]. If a file redirect exists, it'll make it impossible to upload a proper image with that name should the need arise. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:46, 20 October 2017 (EDT)

| == Sprite masks ==
| |
| | |
| Hi, regarding [[:File:PMCS Black Bowser.png]], I think it's better if you just tag it with {{tem|image-quality}} instead of outright removing it, citing the fact that it's just a sprite mask, and pointing out that additional edits need to be made to incorporate the sprite to its best potential. Plus, a similar case exists with [[:File:Dreamy mario rip.png]]. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:49, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :There is no existing sprite of black bowser as he appears in game. Using the mask as a representation of Black Bowser's design, or appearance is ill-advised because it looks nothing like him. The mask can't be edited in any such way to "incorporate the sprite to its best potential" without becoming fanart. I Know nothing about the dreamy mario sprite.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 20:29, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::[https://www.spriters-resource.com/wii_u/papermariocolorsplash/sheet/84249/ Assuming this is where it came from]. It appears to be a black pallet that is overlayed the actual one? Either that, or Random Talking Bush is trying to pass off fanwork as official, and given his credibility, he likely wouldn't do that. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:45, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| [https://www.spriters-resource.com/wii_u/papermariocolorsplash/sheet/84247/ This] would be better than using the mask, but it still doesn't look like Black Bowser. The official artwork is the best image to use.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 20:50, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::Not really, as it's inconsistent with everything else. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 20:56, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::It doesn't need to be consistent. That bestiary is made up entirely of ripped sprites, which are 100% accurate to how they look in game, cropped screenshots of the more 3D enemies, which are STILL 100% accurate to how they look in game, and an official artwork of Black Bowser which, again, is 100% accurate to how he looks in the game. We aren't aiming for consistency, we're aiming for accuracy, though there is a level of consistency that needs to be met, which the bestiary already did.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 21:04, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::::I still think it's better if we at least try to find a sprite that works, and add it in. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 21:12, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
| |

| |
| ::::::(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ If there was one, I would've used it when I made the bestiary. There's nothing to find. You know how past Paper Mario's didn't have sprite animation, and the bodies were all separate parts and the game puts them together?

| Hey! That logo you made is great. I cannot thank you enough for making it and freeing us from the tirannny of the previous Super Mario Wiki logo.
| |
| | |
| But there's [https://twitter.com/Marioking64DS/status/922340385036181504 a small problem]... --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 08:30, 23 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :Thanks, I was just really tired with that old logo, and I think each one before it was pretty bad. It was great to have something that was actually decently representative of the wiki and the franchise without just being a boring old photo with "lazy" editing. No offense meant towards the designers of the previous logos, I just have some experience with graphic design.
| |
| | |
| :The font though, that's... interesting, I guess, but I don't think it matters all that much. For one, I'm not even sure if I still have the original Illustrator file for the logo to then edit it, so making any changes would require recreating the logo from scratch. Another thing is that, though I did make the logo, I'm not the one to talk to about making changes; that's for Porplemontage himself. I doubt he'd see it as a problem to be fixed.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 14:08, 23 October 2017 (EDT)

However, the description says that it ''does'' come with a coupon for the full guide (although it's $9.99, so IDK how much of a difference that makes. As for the access... Sorry, but I'm just not confortable with other people using my accounts, even for something as trivial as this. Seriously, I can check the guide and answer any of your questions. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 21:44, 8 November 2017 (EST)

| ::::Well, all of the images are hosted as separate URLs. I can provide a few examples that ''should'' work even off-site: [https://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/super-mario-odyssey-eguide/001-027_travelers_guide-web-resources/image/01_intro.jpg Intro screenshot], [https://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/super-mario-odyssey-eguide/001-027_travelers_guide-web-resources/image/9995.jpg 8-bit sprites], [https://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/super-mario-odyssey-eguide/040-051_cascade-kingdom-web-resources/image/9044.jpg Cascade map], [https://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/super-mario-odyssey-eguide/040-051_cascade-kingdom-web-resources/image/trex.png T-rex icon], [https://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/super-mario-odyssey-eguide/040-051_cascade-kingdom-web-resources/image/cascade_rockfossils_beautyshot.png Cascade patterns], and you get the idea.

| == Image reversions ==
| |
| | |
| It seems that you are reverting images to instances of unofficial transparency, which is against the [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|image use policy]]. The images were originally uploaded from the Nintendo Germany site, with transparency added in later by {{User|Hugman}}. Images should be used in their unmodified state, i.e. the original version in this case. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:43, 15 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| :Yes but adding transparency to an image does not appear to be breaking the policy.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 13:47, 15 November 2017 (EST)

| ==Bowser's Minions enemy stats?==

| Hi. Just wanted to wonder if you could bring up the stats for the Superstar Saga remake. I just want for there to be a section where players can know their statistics 'n' stuff just to make gameplay easier.

| == Re: SMO Items and Objects ==
| |
| | |
| The table's based on the example from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', though since these kinds of tables aren't mobile-friendly, I've been working on adapting it to a more standard table [[User:Time_Turner/unfinished#Items_and_objects|here]] (although it's very much a work in progesss at the moment, especially until I'm able to resolve the inconsistencies between the images). {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:15, 20 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| :The SM64 table is unreadable on mobile, so that one's unusable. What about my WIP is so awful? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:20, 20 November 2017 (EST) | |
| ::My primary concern is having a table that is usable for both desktop and mobile users. I'm all ears for other solutions, but I don't want to budge on accessibility. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:28, 20 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| :::If a user is looking for a specific item but doesn't know what it's called, they'd need to blindly click through links until they found what they were looking for (plus, a blank list is a slog to get through, which is why nearly everything has been tablified). However, I wouldn't oppose a simple gallery, something like what's on ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!#Objects|WarioWare: Twisted!]]''. Do you think that would work? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:36, 20 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| ::::Some of the images definitely stand to be replaced. Since I don't own the game, I did what I could, but feel free to swap out the images for anything better. It'd be especially good if all of the images were consistent with each other, similar to [[User_talk:Time_Turner#Re:_SMO_tables|what Lakituthequick put forth]]. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:45, 20 November 2017 (EST)

| If a enemy has an representative profile art, then the image is preserved. If not, a secondary image maybe added.

| ::As mentioned, The enemy has a existing profile art. If it didn't, then the "screenshot" would be added.

| == RE:Rules on Prima Guides ==
| |
| | |
| According to [[MarioWiki:Naming]], Prima guide names are to be used if Nintendo or ''Nintendo Power'' do not have a name of their own we can use. However, due to [[MarioWiki_talk:Naming#Make_an_exception_to_source_priority_for_articles_with_identical_names|this proposal]], a better official name can be used instead, such as the development name as was the case of [[Hatopop]], if it is agreed upon by the community. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:45, 21 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| :I don't think so. It's mainly names of stuff that we use from the guides. Games and ''Nintendo Power'' are regarded as more official (since they relate to Nintendo itself), but there's nothing wrong with using anything Prima has. If Prima is the only source of a name, but it appears that it has made a clear typo or mistake, it's up to the community or other sources to determine the name if there is another available. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:52, 21 November 2017 (EST)

| == Vorbis Audio and Theora Video ==
| |
| You [[Special:ListFiles/Eldritchdraaks|uploaded a media file]] that had the OGG file extension. Earlier this year, [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 47#Discourage OGG Extension (Not Format)|a proposal passed to discourage the OGG extension]] in favor of OGA for audio files and OGV for video files. I changed the file extension ([[Special:Log/move/wildgoosespeeder|moved the file]]) to follow the proposal outcome. File contents doesn't change. I find the easiest method to change the file extension to be [[Template:Media table|redlinking]] (linking to a non-existent page to then fill in the blank after linking, in this case, uploading the missing file), but there are [[Help:Media#Converters|two other ways]]. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 01:15, 22 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| :Oh, for whatever reason, MediaWiki is saying the audio files are invalid and can't be decoded. What are you using to generate the files? --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 01:48, 22 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| ::I downloaded them as mp3 and converted to ogg, then when I upload I'm changing the extension to oga. The audio files are still playable on the site.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 01:50, 22 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| :::Just like JPEG to PNG, MP3 to OGG Vorbis is a lossy format converted to a different lossy format. I know that MP3 can't be uploaded because {{user|Porplemontage}} doesn't allow it and also licensing fees with the format, but are there the uncompressed alternatives, or are the MP3s the files that SMO uses? I digress. Anyways, what is the program used to have the OGG Vorbis output? If {{wp|Audacity (audio editor)|Audacity with appropriate encoder/decoder plugin}}, then I don't know what went wrong. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 01:54, 22 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| ::::I used freac because I could convert them all at once. If you want to do the converting yourself, be my guest. I'll put the mp3s on my google drive and send you the link.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 01:57, 22 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| :::::Audacity has a batch converter too. It's called a chain for whatever reason. In Audacity, go to <code>File</code> > <code>Edit Chains</code>. It's likely Audacity doesn't have an OGG converter so you need to create your own. Very easy. Add new chain and call it whatever you wish (<code>OGG conversion</code> for easy identification). Then insert command <code>ExportOgg</code>. Save changes if prompted. Now you can <code>Apply chain</code>. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 02:03, 22 November 2017 (EST)

| |
| :::::::::You could, or you can try to do this stuff on your own. It's pretty easy, despite the extra steps required of the free software. I have become very busy since the end of October and not as available as I used to be because now I have a job (which I have been looking for a long time and editing {{SITENAME}} has kept me occupied during my job searches). --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 02:27, 22 November 2017 (EST)
| |
| ::::::::::<s>So I converted them using Audacity this time, and I uploaded the new version of Bonneton, but it's still giving that same problem; (Invalid Ogg file: Stream Undecodable). I don't know what that means or why it makes a difference when the files seem to play without issue on the site.</s> Turns out the problem was I kept putting album art into the tags. --{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 15:32, 22 November 2017 (EST)

| :::::::::::Metadata is not processed by {{wp|MediaWiki}}, or by extension, most web browsers. Keep that data out of file uploads in general. It's not needed.

| |
| :I don't think so. Being that there are so few that you don't buy, I think it's best to group them in with Crazy Cap instead of separating them. besides, the information about obtaining those clothes is on the page already, so it shouldn't cause confusion.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 14:39, 24 November 2017 (EST)

| ::Actually, the stuff that was there before was fine. It's the standard to have a simple table on the game's page while linking to a more-detailed table on a subpage, as seen on ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga#Enemies|Superstar Saga]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time#Enemies|Partners in Time]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story#Bestiary|Bowser's Inside Story]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam#Bosses|Paper Jam]]'' (kinda). {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 22:11, 30 November 2017 (EST)
