== One hidden block missed ==
*[[User talk:Zootalo/Archive 3|Archive 3]]
When I played ''Paper Mario'' some months ago, I remembered to have found a hidden coin block in [[Gusty Gulch]], in a house on the north side of one of the two places where Boos live. Yet it doesn't seem to be in the article "[[List of hidden blocks in Paper Mario]]".

:Ah, yes, I actually had that one in the guide but I removed it when, upon closer look, was just an ordinary block covered by most of the house's walls rather than an invisible one -- which is what the list only covers. --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 11:10, 28 March 2015 (EDT)
::Ordinary? Oh, I see. Sorry. [[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 00:49, 29 March 2015 (EDT)
 
== Icon request ==
 
Hey... Can you help with [[Princess_Peach%27s_Castle#Items_found|this table]]? An icon for the [[Cleanser]] is needed there, but there isn't an icon for that on this wiki. It can probably be found [http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_64/pm/sheet/11710/ on this sheet from the Spriters Resource], but I don't know which one is. Thanks! [[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 23:46, 4 April 2015 (EDT)
 
In the batch of sprites on the left in that sprite sheet, it's the small purple bowl with green fluid in it. Hope that helps! --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 01:09, 5 April 2015 (EDT)
:Thank you. By the way, nice work for catching that Shooting Star! [[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 07:19, 11 April 2015 (EDT)
 
== Edit history ==
 
Don't edit a single page many consecutively like you did to the [[Paper Mario bestiary]] page. This floods the edit history. If you have to make a big edit, do it in one large edit. {{User:Viper26/sig}}17:57, 9 April 2015 (EDT)
:It's not that big of a deal. If you know that you're going to make multiple edits to an article, it'd be helpful if you mark them as minor, but the Paper Mario bestiary edits are fine. There was at least twenty minutes between the edits, and you only did about three edits in a single day. It's obstructive for the page's history, but with big projects like what you're tackling, it sometimes can't be helped. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
 
::Well, I don't know why you guys didn't tell me this earlier; I would've made all those edits on my Sandbox instead, or offline if even that chokes the history there too. No one had an issue with this when I redesigned the Super Mario RPG bestiary and made quite a few edits on the page as well, so I didn't think it'd be too big of a deal. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 19:07, 10 April 2015 (EDT)
 
== Badges ==
 
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure about the colours myself. It took me forever just to actually get it working, and the colours were a bit of an afterthought. Feel free to make changes as you see fit. One question, though: where did you find the drop rate for [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=All_or_Nothing&curid=17594&diff=1826469&oldid=1826453 All or Nothing]? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:Yeah! A new project, that would be fun! By the way, since each badge's gonna have its own page, it'll be unnecessary for the [[Badge]] article to be cramped with lots of info. Merluvlee's predictions (which I added) can be moved to the corresponding pages. [[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 00:33, 22 April 2015 (EDT)
::It would be better to name the "Merluvlee's predictions" section just "Hints", because other characters can also give hints, like [[Tolielip]] and the Toad in the first house in Dry Dry Outpost. (By the way, do you know the Toad's name?) --[[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 00:18, 27 April 2015 (EDT)
:I'd say to keep doing both. The fraction shows exactly what the game is taking into consideration, while the percentage gives a layman's explanation of the fraction, so to speak. Having both is certainly helpful. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::This may be just me being dumb, but on your drop rate charts, the percents seem to be a bit weird: for example, on [[Jumpman (badge)]], the drop rate of 2/300 is listed as being 0.66%, but wouldn't it actually be 0.0067%? I mean, I'm assuming you're dividing the numerator by the denominator, in which case those two zeroes can't just disappear + you need to round your last decimal up since it's a six. Just dropping by with your recommended daily dose of math! {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
 
== Drop Rates ==
 
Any idea how I could calculate the drop rates for ''Paper Mario'' items? [[User:Binarystep|Binarystep]] ([[User talk:Binarystep|talk]]) 00:27, 28 April 2015 (EDT)
:Would it be possible to make a rough estimate based on how many enemies out of [some number] drop [whatever item]? [[User:Binarystep|Binarystep]] ([[User talk:Binarystep|talk]]) 00:59, 28 April 2015 (EDT)
::I actually started [[User:Binarystep/sandbox|something similar to that]] a while ago, it's still a work in progress of course, I have a long way to go (especially with Amazy Dayzees, though they may just have the same drop rates as Crazee Dayzees?). [[User:Binarystep|Binarystep]] ([[User talk:Binarystep|talk]]) 02:01, 28 April 2015 (EDT)
 
== Charts ==
 
I'm going to say with certainty that creating individual pages for differing NA/EU/JP stats is a bit too excessive. If you're going to do anything to the bestiary charts, I'd suggest, if possible, trimming some of the blank space around the text, because that's definitely eating away at the space and would potentially free up space for other stuff, though considering the size of the text already, I wouldn't recommend shrinking it. I'd be fine with keeping the charts on the same page, though that's mostly just personal preference. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
 
== Archive ==
 
When moving talk page content into an archive page, you move all of the posts on that page into the archive because when you did yours, you only moved most of the posts. {{User:Viper26/sig}}22:13, 1 May 2015 (EDT)
