New Features

Give 7-Eleven an article

In light of our recent collaboration with Nintendo, it's time that we give 7-Eleven an article. Mario Kart 11's logo is clearly designed after 7-Eleven's, and it would be wrong not to give it an article. Besides, it has already made an appearance in a PSA about traffic safety.

Proposer: Maw-Ray Master (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

7-Eleven Support

  1. Maw-Ray Master (talk) Per proposal.
  2. utikyR (talk) It's about time.

Stalled Oppose

  1. Hewer (talk) What on earth do you mean the logo is "clearly designed after 7-Eleven's"? What's clear is that it's an entirely original logo unlike any other logos that anyone has seen before.
  2. Technetium (talk) Per Hewer.
  3. Arend (talk) Can't we just put this info in a "list of references" section and call it a day? I find it a stretch to give a subject like this a whole article to itself just because a game's logo resembles its logo. We're not giving Popeye its own article because Mario, Pauline and DK were inspired by Popeye, Olive Oyl and Bluto, now are we? Unless 7-Eleven has a significant collaboration with Mario, then this is not needed.
  4. Nelsonic (talk) I would prefer a list of minor cross-promotions article.

Pit Stop

Mario Kart 11's logo is clearly based off of that of 7-Eleven's. Let me show them side-by-side for comparison:

The logo for 7-Eleven.
The logo for Mario Kart 11, based on 7-Eleven's logo

To the left is 7-Eleven's logo, and to the right is Mario Kart 11's. Side-by-side, the resemblance is uncanny; why would the latter not be based on the former? Maw-Ray Master (talk) 08:47, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Yeah, right. Next you'll say the Super Mario franchise logo is based on the Super Mario Wiki logo. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 10:06, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
If an article is not made for 7-Eleven, it should at least be mentioned in a section for Mario Kart 11 on the List of references in the Super Mario franchise page; though we'd be doing ourselves a disservice by not giving an article as it has already made a prior appearance in the franchise and serves as the basis for Mario Kart 11's logo. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 11:51, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
To play Devil's Advocate, the orange on the Mario Kart 11 logo is brighter than on the 7-Eleven one, while the green on the former logo is darker than on the latter. Additionally, the 11 in the Mario Kart logo mimics the 7 of the 7-Eleven logo instead of the "Eleven", so in reality, it reads 11-Mario Kart if it were based on the 7-Eleven logo. ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits) 13:28, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Actually, 7-Eleven has also colloborated with Nintendo for certain promotions, such as the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary and 35th Anniversary, so that might also be a reason to create the article. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 13:57, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Invent time travel to the future

Despite having already waited two months and sixteen days since the reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2, I find myself utterly incapable of waiting one more day to tune in to the long-anticipated Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 presentation that will be held tomorrow. Don't you also hate it when you have to wait for time to pass before things can happen?

Well, no longer! I come to the proposals page today with a revolutionary idea that would allow our great wiki to finally solve this age-old problem: time travel! I believe this will serve as an adequate solution to our troubles in the present. By travelling to the future, we could document things on our wiki before they even happen! We could overcome the limitations of time to finally become the most complete and comprehensive Super Mario encyclopedia possible! If a better idea has ever been put forward on this page before, I'm not aware of it.

Now, my original idea for this proposal was to introduce a "Time Button" to the header bar, which a user could simply click when they want to head to the future. Unfortunately, I believe this would put too much strain on the technology to be feasibly implemented at this time, so I'll just have to trust the users of the wiki to limit their usage of it. Maybe if I went to the future first to test the technology out, I could return with the more advanced technology that would allow a true Time Button to be implemented in accordance with my vision. But you've got to support the proposal before that can happen.

It is my sincere belief that this is the best course of action the site could take, and I only hope I have convinced all of you as well. After this inevitably passes, the wiki will certainly have a bright future ahead of it. If you doubt that, well, support the proposal anyway so I can find out myself.

Proposer: Hewer (talk)
Deadline: April 2, 2025, 13:00 GMT

Support (turn the clocks forward)

  1. Hewer (talk) Nintendo Today? More like Nintendo Tomorrow
  2. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) Make it time travel to ANY POINT IN TIME, and yes.
  3. Future SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) I'm fine with it, just like how my past self is fine with it, but don't get TOO carried away with it. I did, and that caused a multiversal collapse, which is why I went back in time to now.
  4. OmegaRuby (talk) Nintendo Today? More like Nintendo NOW!
  5. utikyR (talk) Per SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)
  6. Wynn Liaw (talk) Under the condition that I can also go to the past.

Oppose (too dangerous/risky/fun)

  1. Technetium (talk) I hate Daylight Savings!
  2. Future OmegaRuby (talk) Wait! Don't do it! I come from the future and the Nintendo Direct gets delayed indefinitely! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!
  3. Maw-Ray Master (talk) If one were to travel into the future and then travel back into my current time, once the present becomes the future, one runs the risk of running into their other selves. This interaction could possibly cause a chain reaction that could unravel the fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe.
  4. Camwoodstock (talk) Help
  5. Nelsonic (talk) Per OmegaRuby. The consequences could be catastrophic.
  6. Arend (talk) IT'S JUST ONE MORE DAY, DUDE.
  7. Past Tails777 (talk) Guys, did you see the reveal for the GameCube? That things gonna be revolutionary!
  8. Nightwicked Bowser (talk) The consequence of time travel in NEO: The World Ends With You is all I'm saying.

Introduce one-option proposals

Lately, I've noticed a problem with proposals. Sometimes I have a great idea but there's too many choices and everyone else doesn't want to vote for the option I support. To solve this problem, we should introduce one-option proposals to make sure that everyone can only vote for the option the proposer wants. If this proposal passes, it will retroactively be considered the first one.

Proposer: Waluigi Time (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Yes

  1. Waluigi Time (talk) What a great idea!
  2. BMfan08 (talk) I ate the No option... sorry
  3. Maw-Ray Master (talk) The best thing next to the zero-option proposal!
  4. Hewer (talk) Choice is overrated.
  5. Nelsonic (talk) Short-term gain...

One comment

I think we should implement zero-option proposals; these proposals immediately pass upon being written, as there is nothing to vote for. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 11:51, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

The newest feature of all: New Features 2

Now now, let me explain...

We, in the history of Super Mario Wiki, have had many pioneers of our time. Some have made great contributions. Some have built a legacy. And some have become an influence to us all. A long time ago, a proposal to remove all removals stalled in discussion. And that got me thinking. What if we added a second new features category? Think of it! This category as it is is already filled to the depths. It is flawed. A second new features category would allow for more proposals, more creativity, and overall more ingenuity. We have come to a new era in the Super Mario Wiki. Join me, will you?

Proposer: BMfan08 (talk)
Deadline: Heat death of the universe

I agree, let's do it!

  1. BMfan08 (talk) Of course I like my own idea, why wouldn't I?
  2. SolemnStormcloud (talk) Per proposal 2.

Two is two much, let's just do one and a half instead

  1. SolemnStormcloud (talk) Secondary choice½.

I'd rather remove all new features instead

  1. Maw-Ray Master (talk) If the other sections on this page except the Removals section do not get second sections, I can't support this proposal.
  2. Nelsonic (talk) Would this mean the original "New Features" section gets renamed to "New Features 1"?

Comments 2

How come only the New Features section gets a second section? A second section needs to be created for every section on this page. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 11:51, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

You're missing the point. If we created a second, say, Removals section, that would undermine creativity and cause mass destruction to this wiki, not to mention undermining my very inspiration. BMfan08 (talk) 11:56, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
I modified my vote accordingly. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 14:01, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Create species pages for every character with "palette swaps"

Four different costumes of Mario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
One of the species in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a biologist and ecologist, I've been curious about the "palette swaps" in the Super Mario franchise. In my research, I noted that the "palette swaps" often featured the same character, but in different colors, which I mentioned was impossible outside of the use of a cloning device. Or is it? These "palette swaps" might just be members of a collective species, its members resembling but not being the same character they share their names with. As such, we should create species pages for every character with "palette swaps", as these are clearly their own species, rather than just clones.

Proposer: A curious scientist (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2024, 23:59 GMT

Classify the species

  1. A curious scientist (talk) Per proposal.
  2. SolemnStormcloud (talk) "Yoshi (species) (species)" needs to exist. It just does.

Leave them undocumented

  1. Nelsonic (talk) This would result in a lot of repetitive articles. Mario (species), Mr. Game & Watch (species), Wario (species), and Link (species), for instance, would all end up being very similar to each other.
  2. Hewer (talk) My own research into the matter suggests that those are just time travelling past/future versions of the same characters.

Research notes

Removals

Remove everything Wario-related on the Mario Wiki

Remove any Wario-related content from the Mario Wiki, but only keep the ones where he loses/gets beat up 4-5

Wario gets knocked out by Mario in the minigame Smash and Crab in Super Mario Party.
Come on! Don't you want just anti-Wario stuff?

As a member of the Wario Extermination Team, I propose that we remove everything on this wiki that is related to Wario in any way, shape or form. It's called the Mario Wiki, not the Wario Wiki after all! That greedy fool had his fun... and now it's time to end it!

If this proposal passes, all Wario-related stuff will be erased from the wiki... FOREVER!! The only files that will stay are the ones that show Wario losing/getting beat up, like the Smash and Crab GIF up above. You know all those anti-Wario GIFs I've uploaded? I prepared for this!

Proposer: Sparks (talk)
Deadline: Whenever this reaches four support votes

So long, Wario! (support)

  1. Sparks (talk) You HAVE to choose this!
  2. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) As a fellow member of the Wario Extermination Team, I support.

  4. Koopa con Carne (talk) yellow mario go boom and pew
  5. Mario (talk) If we don't contain it then it'll just spread to user talk pages.

Let him stay! (oppose)

  1. Technetium (talk) Wario did nothing wrong.
  2. Maw-Ray Master (talk) If this proposal doesn't also remove the anti-Wario content, it is contradictory to its purpose, and, as such, I can't support this proposal.
  3. Arend (talk) Naw, I pick, WAAAAARIOOOOOO

Changes

Ban the use of imperial measurements on the wiki, and replace such units with their metric equivalents

The imperial units system is outdated form of measurement that is literally only used mainly in the United States and Myanmar, as well as in combination with the metric system in the United Kingdom. As such, I feel that we should ban the use of imperial units on the wiki, in favor of switching over to the metric system, with any units of measurements already in imperial units converted to their metric equivalents.

Proposer: Maw-Ray Master (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Metric Support

  1. Maw-Ray Master (talk) Let's eradicate these measurements from the wiki!
  2. Hewer (talk) Down with imperialism!
  3. Jdtendo (talk) Per proposal
  4. Maestro de las morenas gigantes (hablar) No comprendo las unidades imperiales, porque no vivo en los Estados Unidos.

Imperial Oppose

  1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - U'ut da fquak iz uh killawm'ter?
  2. Nelsonic (talk) I'd prefer if this was more of an unwritten rule, something that isn't considered an offense.

Measurement Comments

@Doc von Schmeltwick: A kilometer represents of unit of distance equaling 1,000 meters. I can't express this in imperial units; I've sworn to not use those units; the rates of conversion for imperial units is confusing and is ultimately not international (most of the world solely uses the metric system). Maw-Ray Master (talk) 15:01, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Nelsonic: We have to ban imperial measurements on this wiki. It's the only way that people will switch over to the metric system. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 16:43, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

@Maw-Ray Master Would that put using imperial units as a bannable offense, or simply something that is reverted without question? Nelsonic (talk) 16:55, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
I'd say that it would be the latter; banning users just by using imperial units doesn't seem to be fair; however, I would recommend that they get a reminder not to use these units if they continue using them after the proposal passes; the Manual of Style should also be modified to reflect this. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 17:02, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Metric temperatures are for squares, though, who cares what water does when it's 0 or 100? I care more about what the human body does in either circumstance (on one end, die, on the other end, also die), which is what Fahrenheit measures. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:58, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Understood. Would this mean that, as usual, repeated failure to adhere to reminders given would result in a warning, failure to adhere to warnings would result in a last warning, and so on? Nelsonic (talk) 17:08, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
If this is similar to disregarding other rules repeatedly, then yes. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 17:24, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Merge Mario to Goomba

The pages Mario and Goomba being separate feels strange to me. Can you think of a time they aren't together? because I can't. The wiki should probably merge them, yeah?

Proposer: PopitTart (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Support: Merge Mario to Goomba

  1. PopitTart (talk) Per proposal.
  2. Camwoodstock (talk) He wasn't watching The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.
  3. Hewer (talk) Artwork of Mario capturing a Goomba, from Super Mario Odyssey
  4. DryBonesBandit (talk) Per all. I wouldn't object to merging Luigi with Koopa Troopa either.

Oppose:Keep Mario and Goomba seperate

  1. Nelsonic (talk) I think a Goomba (form) page would make more sense.
  2. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - A major mistake in research was made; Mario shouldn't be merged to Goomba, but he should be moved to Gomba (with one "o")

Move Both to Goombario

  1. GeneralDonitsky (talk) It's only logical, guys. Goomba + Mario = Goombario.

Comments (Marioomba)

I made a proposal for merging every article related to other articles below, including the Mario and Goomba articles. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 11:51, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Move Koopa Troopa to Koopa Shell

Much like my previous proposal, this proposal is based upon the fact that Koopa Troopas are never seen apart from their Koopa Shells. Really, theres no reason these should be considered distinct subjects!

Proposer: PopitTart (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Support: Move Koopa Troopa to Koopa Shell

  1. PopitTart (talk) Pro perposal.

Oppose:Do not Move Koopa Troopa to Koopa Shell

  1. Nelsonic (talk) I would support if this were more similar to the MC Ballyhoo/Big Top situation.

Comments (Koopa Trell)

I made a proposal for merging every article related to other articles below, including the Koopa Troopa and Koopa Shell articles. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 11:51, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Merge Lakitu with Spiny Egg

Lakitu throws Spiny Eggs. These eggs then turn into Spinys. To be honest, I'm not sure what the best option here is, so i'm making this a multi-option proposal. Option 1 moves Lakitu to Spiny Egg while keeping Spiny seperate, while Option 2 moves them both to Spiny.

Proposer: PopitTart (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Option 1: Merge Lakitu with Spiny Egg

Option 2: Merge Lakitu AND Spiny Egg to Spiny

  2. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) Tratipop Rep.
  3. Maw-Ray Master (talk) They're all members of Bowser's Minions; this seems reasonable.

Oppose: Do nothing

  1. Nelsonic (talk) What about variants of Spinies and related items, such as the Spiny Shell?

Comments (Lakiny Egg)

Separate Top of Warp Pipe from Warp Pipe

This one is a bit out there, but I think it would be better for documentation. Warp Pipes appear primarily in 2D platformers, right? And those 2D platformers don't let you see the top of the pipes. Really, that's a distinct experience reserved for 3D games. So, I say these apperances should be in a new page titled Top of Warp Pipe.

Proposer: PopitTart (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Support: Separate Top of Warp Pipe from Warp Pipe

  1. PopitTart (talk) Per nothing.
  2. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) Per Popitart.
  3. FanOfYoshi (talk) Per Etno Polino.

Oppose: Do not split

  1. Maw-Ray Master (talk) The tops of Warp Pipes are clearly visible in 2D platformers; otherwise one would not be able to travel through them in the games.
  2. Nelsonic (talk) The tops of Warp Pipes are seen on the cover art of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Comments (Pipe up)

Uh, yeah, where's the option to... Like, merge Koopalings to Bowser?--Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi at 03:27, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

At this point, we should merge every article that is related to each other. In fact, I might actually make a proposal to do just that. This proposal runs counter to this. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 08:47, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
I just made the aforementioned proposal. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 11:51, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Proposer: Me

Deadline: Over my dead body!

LAMBAST the Lost levels

  1. YoshiHater (talk) Fuck this game.
  2. Maw-Ray Master (talk) To be honest, the game's title is completely misleading; none of the titular levels aren't even considered to be partially lost by The Lost Media Wiki, and I feel that the game's title should have "The Lost Levels" omitted from it. This might result in it sharing the same name with Super Mario Bros., but we can always distinguish it from that game by adding a console identifier after the title. Alternatively, we can flat-out merge the article to Super Mario Bros., since it is heavily based on this game.
  3. Hewer (talk) Yeah, our article on this game isn't cutting it. We should replace it with a Mario reskin of an article from some other wiki to save face.
  4. GeneralDonitsky (talk) This game should be Doki Doki panicking, because we're not standing for this anymore! There's only ONE Super Mario Bros. 2!

No, it's a MASTERPIECE!!! Have mercy on it!

  1. LostTheLevel (talk) I like Lost Levels a lot.
  2. The True Lost Levels (talk) Mess with SMB:TLL (my brother), and I end this wiki.
  3. Nintendo Switch Online Rewind Feature (talk) There are worse games...
  4. Famicom Disk System (talk) Per the above vote.
  5. Super Mario Bros. Special (talk) That's my sister, mister!
  6. DryBonesBandit (talk) Goombario and the Adventure of the Hot Lava Rocks is a much worse game, totally unpredictable and unfair.

Why not discuss ZA instead

  1. Serena Anderson from the Pokemon X and Y games Uh yeah, i am really skeptical of the game, aren't you guys?
  2. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - Assuming "ZA" refers to Zelda's Adventure, the underrated CD-i game.
  3. SolemnStormcloud (talk) Backward Somersault

Merge Koopley and Korvallis

They're clearly the same person. Koops says so himself. Just not sure what name to use for the merged page.

Proposer: Technetium (talk)
Deadline: April 15, 2025, 23:59 GMT

Move to Koopley

  1. Arend (talk) Most common name. "Korvallis" was only mentioned by the Creepy Steeple Boo, and only in the Switch remake at that.

Move to Korvallis

  1. Technetium (talk) Way cooler name.
  2. Maw-Ray Master (talk) They're both Koopa Troopas, and I'm sure Koopley would love to reunite with his father.
  3. Sparks (talk) I like this idea!

Move to Kuzzle

  1. GeneralDonitsky (talk) This poor senile man needs people to support him in his life.

Do nothing

  1. Nelsonic (talk) Per... Something.

Comments (hi Comments I'm dad)

  1. DryBonesBandit (talk) am I doing this right

I like your suggestion so I'll keep it, but maybe we should merge Kuzzle and Kroop instead? Technetium (talk) 11:02, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

They can all be merged with each other through my article-merging proposal below. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 11:51, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Merge every article that is related to each other in some way

Several proposals requesting the merging articles to other articles today have prompted me to create a new proposal that will settle all of these proposals. I propose that we merge every article that is related to their other articles to their original source. This would mean that Luigi would be merged to Mario; Waluigi is merged with Wario, etc. I know this also means that Club Mario, which I have working recently and honestly enjoy, will be merged to The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, but at least it means it will be seen by more visitors, as the latter is much more popular than the former.

EDIT: After merging all of the articles on the Super Mario Wiki, we will merge with all of our subsidaries. Vandalism and sockpuppet talk pages will not be included. Afterwards, we will begin merging with websites outside of the NIWA.

Proposer: Maw-Ray Master (talk)

Merge everything

  2. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) THE REVIVAL OF THE SUPERARTICLE IS UPON US!
  3. Tails777 (talk) If everything is in one article, we won't have to argue about splits and merges.
  4. Camwoodstock (talk) Seddie

Keep seperate

  1. Technetium (talk) No because everything would end up merged into Donkey Kong and I don't want to acknowledge the existence of… donkey kong country hd returns.
  2. Nelsonic (talk) Wouldn't this mean that everything before 2023 and after 1994 just gets merged into Charles Martinet?
  3. SolemnStormcloud (talk) The possibility that Pink Donkey Kong Jr., Fat Yoshi, and Pirate Goomba could share the same article is too big a risk. That kind of power would destroy the world wiki as we know it!
  4. DryBonesBandit (talk) I don't want Parabones to end up in the same article as Shellcreeper.

Mergeomments

I'd like to thank YoshiFlutterJump for inspiring me to come up with this idea. I really appreciate it. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 10:02, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

I have run the calculations. If this proposal were to pass, everything relating to The Super Mario Bros. Movie would end up merged into The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, which would in turn be merged to Lou Albano, who would in turn be merged with John Grusd, who would get merged with Captain N: The Game Master, which would get merged with Super Mario World (television series), which would get merged with Super Mario World, which would get merged with Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which would get merged with Virtual Console, which would get merged with Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, which would get merged with Mallow, who would get merged with Culex, who would be merged with Geno, who would be merged with Super Mario-kun, which would get merged with the Nintendo 3DS, which would get merged with the Nintendo DSi, which would get merged with Mario Calculator, which would get merged with Super Mario Bros., which would be merged with Super Mario Bros. 2, which would get merged with Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, which would get merged with Super Star, which would get merged with Coin Rush Star, which would get merged with Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which would get merged with Kevin Afghani, who would be merged with WarioWare: Move It!, which would get merged with Form Stones, which would get merged with Nintendo Switch, which would get merged with Nintendo Switch 2, which would get merged with Nintendo Today!, which would get merged with Bob-omb Battlefield, which would get merged with Water bomb (object), which would get merged with Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which would get merged with Super Mario Sunshine, which would get merged with Super Mario 128, which would get merged with the Nintendo GameCube, which would get merged with Super Mario Galaxy, which would get merged with Nintendo Music, which would get merged with the Wii, which would get merged with WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which would get merged with the Form Baton, which would be merged with the Balance Stone, which would be merged with Orbulon, who would be merged with Dribble & Spitz, who would be merged with Dribble's taxi, which would be merged with Dribble & Spitz (souvenir), which would be merged with WarioWare: Twisted!, which would be merged with the Game Boy Advance, which would be merged with the Game Boy, which would be merged with the Game Boy Color, which would be merged with Game & Watch Gallery 3, which would be merged with the Game & Watch, which would be merged with Mario the Juggler, which would be merged with Game & Watch Gallery 2, which would be merged with Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., which would be merged with World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.), which would be merged with ? Block, which would be merged with Toad, who would be merged with Captain Toad, who would be merged with Toad Brigade, which would be merged with Super Mario Galaxy 2, which would be merged with the Nintendo eShop, which would get merged with Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, which would get merged with Mario vs. Donkey Kong, which would get merged with Mini-Mario, which would get merged with Mini-Mario Factory Game!, which would get merged with Nintendo Arcade, which would get merged with Nintendo, which would get merged with SEGA, which would get merged with Sonic the Hedgehog, who would be merged with Mario & Sonic (series), which would be merged with Wii U, which would be merged with Nintendo Land, which would get merged with Mii, which would get merged with Super Mario Maker, which would get merged with Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, which would get merged with Super Mario Maker 2, which would get merged with Super Mario 3D World, which would be merged with Cat Mario, which would get merged with The Cat Mario Show, which would get merged with Mario Kart 8, which would get merged with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which would get merged with Mario Kart (Nintendo Switch 2), and so on.. Nelsonic (talk) 14:32, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
I should also note that this also applies to non-mainspaced pages; included user pages. As every user is a user, this means that all users would be merged to MarioWiki:Users, with this becoming a catch-all page for every user. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 15:01, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

@Maw-Ray Master Wouldn't that mean that MarioWiki:Users also gets merged to stuff, though? As an example, @Camwoodstock has made many Super Mario Bros. Special articles, so would MarioWiki:Users just end up in the Super Mario Bros. Special page? Nelsonic (talk) 15:19, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

If it's related to the article, then yes. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 15:23, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master But how would it be decided where to merge MarioWiki:Users to? Would it just end up divided into little bits and pieces between every topic on the wiki to which a user has contributed a significant amount? Nelsonic (talk) 15:26, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
I'd say so. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 15:31, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master But there's only thirty-five words on the MarioWiki:Users page (counting category and template names), meaning that even if one word was added to each topic that a user had contributed a significant amount to, that would only amount to thirty-five topics. Even if it was divided by the amount of characters, there are only 219 characters in the page. Would the page's contents have to be duplicated? Nelsonic (talk) 15:38, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Well, there's nothing stopping duplication these days. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 16:00, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Hewer True, but then how would it be decided which chunks of the article are duplicated, and where? Nelsonic (talk) 16:03, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Wait, I think I figured it out. We should merge MarioWiki:Users to Category:Help; merge it with Category:Administration; merge it with Category:Super Mario Wiki, and merge it to the MarioWiki homepage. That way, everything will be on one page. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 16:04, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Randomly. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 16:05, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Yes, but isn't the MarioWiki homepage technically related to anything featured on it, meaning (as of now) that it would need to be merged with A sneak peek of Mario Kart for the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Today!, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Dr. Mario, Mario Kart XXL, Waluigi Pinball, Mario, Super Mario (franchise), List of official Nintendo stores, Nintendo Entertainment System, MarioWiki:Mushroom World Encyclopedia, MarioWiki:Maintenance/Main page, Special:RecentChanges, MarioWiki:Polls, List of games, MarioWiki:About, MarioWiki:Help, (etcetera)? Nelsonic (talk) 16:10, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Continuing onwards, once we have merged everything on the website, we will then need to merge with our other subsidaries: bulbapedia, fzerowiki, zeldawiki, etc. I modified the proposal to reflect this conclusion.
@Maw-Ray Master Would this mean that mariowiki.net and mariowiki.it would also get merged into this? Nelsonic (talk) 16:36, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Yes, along with all of the other language versions of our subsidaries. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 16:40, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master What would be done about vandalism? Either mariowiki.net or mariowiki.it recently had someone make articles on how to obtain cannabis (though these seem to have been deleted since I last checked). Would these types of articles still be deleted, or would they also get merged? Nelsonic (talk) 16:50, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
We're not going to merge them, as those articles are merely blantant forms of vandalism. We will also not include sockpuppet talk pages, as one is not supposed to have more than one user page at a time. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 16:58, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Got it. What about differing revisions on pages? Would those all get merged into one article as well? Nelsonic (talk) 17:02, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
When merging pages, we will use the latest revision of the pages outside of vandalism. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 17:06, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Alright. I assume this would include talk pages? Nelsonic (talk) 17:09, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Yes. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 17:24, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Special pages, too (i.e. Special:NewPages, Special:Random)? Nelsonic (talk) 17:36, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Yes. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 17:43, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Okay, but the end result would be every article on NIWA being merged into one, correct? Since every article is related to every other article in a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon-style manner. Play Nintendo is linked to Mario's Orange Lavaburst Adventure due to the fact that they both use Mario, for one. Nelsonic (talk) 17:56, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Exactly. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 18:05, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Would Special:WhatLinksHere be part of this merge, or discarded altogether? Technically, if everything is merged into one page, nothing can link to said page. Nelsonic (talk) 18:19, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
It would probably be discarded. Anyway, I have modified the proposal again as I felt that it wasn't extensive enough: After we merge every wiki in the NIWA, we will start merging with other websites outside of the alliance. I think we should start by merging with Nintendo, as they have just officially acknowledged us and we are collaborating with them to produce Mario Kart 11. At this point, however, I feel that it would no longer be just an encyclopedia, as we will also be selling products under the Nintendo brand. Maybe we should rename it as the Super Mario Corporation? Maw-Ray Master (talk) 18:31, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
I don't believe it; this article is now larger than the Seddie article on iCarly Wiki. Maw-Ray Master (talk) 18:55, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Maw-Ray Master Goodness. It is also larger than Ask Uncle Tusk. Nelsonic (talk) 18:56, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Merge all users

This is the solution for wiki peace. If we all merge into one user, there will be no more proposals, vandalism, edit warring, you name it. Of course, the hivemind will be named after me, its creator. But you can suggest other names, I guess... There aren't any better ones though!

  1. Maw-Ray Master (talk) Wait, isn't Porplemontage the proprietor of the site? If so, the hivemind should be named after him.
  2. BMfan08 (talk) Are you kidding? If we were the sum of all users, then we'd do ALL the vandalism and ALL the nasty stuff. Plus, since we have every role simultaneously, we'd ban ourselves, and boom. Dead wiki.
  3. Nelsonic (talk) Oh dear.
  4. Nightwicked Bowser (talk) Per the Glohm effects.
  5. Camwoodstock (talk) We can't let everyone else fall in here with us

  8. Arend (talk) I'm afraid merging all of us together would erase our individuality...

@Technetium Would this include banned users? Nelsonic (talk) 17:27, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
No, and any future banned members are expelled from the hivemind, forced to suffer in solidarity. And IPs have their own hivemind. Technetium (talk) 18:01, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Technetium Who is the head of the IP hivemind? Can the two hiveminds communicate? Nelsonic (talk) 18:17, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Yes but then the Technetium hivemind would immediately ban it sooooo Technetium (talk) 18:23, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Technetium Do the expelled banned members end up forming their own hivemind? Nelsonic (talk) 18:27, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
No, read above. Technetium (talk) 18:33, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Technetium Ah, understood. When the hivemind edits pages, does it edit pages as a whole, or do individual users still edit pages (yet they report back to the hivemind)? Nelsonic (talk) 18:36, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
As a whole. Technetium (talk) 18:37, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
@Technetium Does this increase the load time for a page's edit history? Nelsonic (talk) 18:39, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
Look just…just join the hivemind and you won't have any questions, for you'll already know the answers. Technetium (talk) 18:43, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

  1. Maw-Ray Master (talk) This hatred towards Bowser is clearly misguided, but the Mushroom Kingdom doesn't deserve to be covered on this wiki. Given it has committed numerous atrocities against the Bowser Democracy Party (BDP), including a massacre in 1989, they, as well as its affiliates, should be banned, with all pages related to them being deleted.
  2. Nelsonic (talk) Bowser has had time in the sun... rarely, but he still has. He had a few games to himself (Bowser's Lair Hockey, Koopa Taiji, Bowser's Diary Quiz, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)...

Merge all categories into Category:Category

Our category system is seriously flawed. Oftentimes, a category's definition ends up becoming too broad or vague and one of us has to create a proposal to rework the category or outright delete it. However, I've come up with a solution to remedy this. Rather than tightening any definitions, we should go even broader and merge all the categories we have into a single category called Category:Category! When everyone is here and everything is here, there wouldn't be a concern that the category's defintion is too broad—it literally can't go any broader!

Of course, Category:Category would also be a subcategory of Category:Category, because recursion always makes a category better.

Category:Comments

I made a proposal that will merge every article that is related to other articles above. With my proposal passing, all of the categories would be merged to MarioWiki:Categories, with this page becoming a catch-all category of categories.

Lessen the number of images for each subject

Why have full galleries for every piece of artwork or sprite for everything? Back in the early days, six images was considered a lot, and look what we've devolved to! Why have thisMedia:SML2 Artwork - Goomba.png when the readers obviously only need thisMedia:SMBW Goomba.png? This proposes to give everything one total sprite or model and one total piece of artwork, to be used on any game where they might be pertinent.

Add MarioWiki information to the MarioWiki

Did you check Nintendo Today! today? Well, you better! Nintendo has officially acknowledged the Super Mario Wiki! The MarioWiki is therefore official media. By that logic, the entire history of the MarioWiki should be documented on the MarioWiki! I propose that by this standard, all users go on the List of implied characters article. Later debates can be made to adding Pirate Goomba to the internet memes article since the wiki has now been officially acknowledged.

Expand the scope of the wiki to include non-official media, such as fanfics and fan-theories

My friends, liberation has arrived. We shall no longer refuse the truth;this project is not everything Mario. Who sais Mario can only be defined by Nintendo? Miyamoto may be Mario's father, but this project should not be about Mario the character, but Mario the idea. Mario is a world-changing figure and every single interpretation of him should be included. Every fanfic... every theory... every creepypasta... and every overly-edgy 2000s parody video. Let's embrace the truth, Mario shouldn't be in the clutches of Nintendo, but he should be FREE! REVOLUTION TODAY! First articles that should be made are; Mario is a sociopath, The Super Mario Five Nights at Freddies mod and Mr. Doctor.

Ban Bowser from this wiki

We've had enough. After countless second chances, it is starting to become very clear that Doug Bowser has no intentions of changing his ways. Despite hundreds of terrorist attacks on the Mushroom Kingdom, thousands of sockpuppet accounts and an untold number of Toads killed, we were always ready to forgive Bowser and give him another chance at redemption. But this time he crossed the line. Today, in an unthought of act of cruelty, Bowser has stormed into the mushroom castle and kidnapped Princess Peach. I call for Super Mario Wiki staff to block Bowser once and for all.

Ban Bowser.

Oppose

  1. Maw-Ray Master (talk) Why should Bowser be banned? The Mushroom Kingdom regime should be overthrown instead, as it has committed numerous atrocities against the Bowser Democracy Party (BDP), including a massacre in 1989 that slaughtered many Koopa Troopa demonstrators trying to protest several issues in regards to the Mushroom Kingdom, including the inflation of regional coins and corruption, as well as civil Goombas, in attempt to infringe on personal rights and freedom. As such, we should actually ban the Mushroom Kingdom, as well any affiliates of it, from the wiki.
  2. Nelsonic (talk) Shouldn't we also ban Mario, then? He kidnapped Donkey Kong Jr. and has killed hundreds of thousands of Bowser's minions... Nelsonic (talk) 15:23, April 1, 2025 (EDT)
  3. Tails777 (talk) Bowser did nothing wrong.
  4. Sparks (talk) I'm fine with banning Wario, but Bowser? He's a nice guy at heart. He just doesn't show it.

Allow the use of made-up names from fan projects as redirects

It has come to my attention that several fan projects make up names (eg. Mario Builder 64 making up Water Diamond and Fire Spitter). I think this is liberating and not at all limiting, like that one time Game Freak was too cowardly to canonize a Flying-type Eeveelution because they knew they couldn't outdo a fan's perfection. If Nintendog can't give us the true canon names, then the least we can do is, as fans, allow them as redirects.

Why stop at redirects? Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 13:02, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Because, Hewdawg, I want to ground my proposal in a little bit of realism on the off-chance that this somehow doesn't get removed at the end of the day. In reality, I don't really care either way. Some people might find unintrusive redirects helpful. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:30, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Didn't we used to call them Fire Spitters back in the yolden days? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:18, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Oh, wow, we did! I remembered them being "Great Balls of Fire," but that's from somewhere else. ROM hackers sure like our old junk. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:30, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Just to be clear, I define a fan project, within the scope of this proposal, as something fanmade that's playable (i.e. games) or watchable (e.g. animations). There is a subset of people who'd be more familiar with fan-names and then get confused when they can't find what they're looking for, but I didn't have other wikis in mind. (And we do keep a few fan redirects around; Fire Spitter was moved before it became a general rule to not delete moved conjectural titles.) LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:09, April 1, 2025 (EDT)

Split Mario's hands from Mario

These are two completely different entities, almost never seen with each other. However, Luigi is frequently seen alongside Mario's hands, so those two should probably be merged. Anyways, Mario's hands have a lot going for them. They are playable in Super Mario 64, for one. However, Luigi is frequently erroneouslyMedia:BlueStone.png depicted with the hands of Mario, hence why I believe the hands should be split and Luigi should be merged.
