Red Spiked Para Buzzy Beetle Top

There's confusion with the names of the Buzzy Beetle family. Which ones end with buzzy, and which end with beetle? We need to get the official names for the ones in SMB3 and the Paper Mario's.

4000 Articles

Unfortunately, I could not identify the 4000th article itself. I'll find the 5000th for sure. :) Wa _T^C_@^Y 14:11, 28 January 2007 (EST)

Knife has informed me it's Balloon Bully.

— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wayoshi (talk).

YAY! I made the 4000th! 3D, wahoo!

That's awesome! Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

'Shroom Deadline

The second issue of the 'Shroom is set to come out this Saturday. I post the message here in hopes that people will notice before I add a section in their talk pages tomorrow. Wa _T^C_@^Y 13:36, 30 January 2007 (EST)

Microsoft

Now that Banjo and Conker are part of the wiki, shouldnt we include some Microsoft information? - User: Ultimatetoad

Maybe, personally I never saw the point on having information on the companies and gaming systems. -- Sir Grodus

Me neither. I want to focus on the games. But if we do focus on the companies, I just wondered if we should do Microsoft. - User: Ultimatetoad

Canonical: DKR or DKRDS?

I took notice some individuals question the canonancy of DKR + DKRDS and it would require removal of the BK artiles we have worked hard of making. Well unless an official source is stated that the N64 version is non-canon, i beleive the Banjo articles and Conker articles should stay. Agree? -- WarioLoaf (talk) 15:49, 2 February 2007 (EST)

Check out the latest at MarioWiki talk:Importance Policy. The issue is that, not to my knowledge before, the DS version is a complete remake: it's almost all the same, with better graphics and some new unlockables. Of course, the DS version replaces Banjo and Conker with Tiny and Dixie, now that Rare is separate from Nintendo. If DKRDS is more canonical, Banjo & Conker get the boot from this wiki. Opinions? Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:54, 2 February 2007 (EST)

• How would you tell its canacal???? Its all in a matter of opinion and they should stay until its iofficial one is canon the other isn't, that goes to SM64DS. Its booting Conker and Banjo from the wiki for no reason. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 16:34, 2 February 2007 (EST)

I don't think it matters which is canonical. Either way, Banjo and Conker are a spin-off of a spin-off of Mario, and thus should stay. - User: Ultimatetoad

Banjo and Conker got kicked out of DKRDS because Rare got sold to Microsoft and some legal issues...so if that hadn't happened not only would Banjo and Conker WOULD have been in DKRDS (maybe not Conker because of what he did in Bad Fur Day). So let's leave Banjo/Conker articles and WarioLoaf...I would like to have a word with youFile:Mayor.gifPaper Jorge

Sequel. 3D, >_>

I don't understand. Banjo and Conker are copyrighted to Rare, always have been. Why would a seperation from Nintendo matter? -- Ghost Jam 14:39, 6 February 2007 (EST)

Either way, they should stay. How would DKRDS prove DKR uncanonical? Again, this has nothing to do with how canonical the info is. The simple reason is that the company would have copyright issues, otherwise they would still be there, trust me. So the Conker and Banjo series should stay.Knife (talk) 21:08, 15 February 2007 (EST)

Indeed. I was about to say the same. O_o 3D, wackoo!

If DKR DS is a remake, that means the original game has been changed to what it is intended to be. The remake is the most canonical version of the game, as the creators specifically changed the original to new specifications (just like the changes in Star Wars; older versions of Star Wars are less canonical). Like I said before, I don't know if DKR DS is a remake or a sequel. If it is a remake, we'll have to figure this whole thing out. -- Son of Suns

Oboy. 3D, here we go again.. >_>

Oh boy...now I have to say it may be a sequel...that depends on what is on the game. We need to ask someone who has the DS version and someone who has the 64 version: Do they Have the Same Storyline? If yes, then well I guess it's a remake but...uhh... Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

Same storyline. 3D, F33L1NG GL1TCHY!

Really the only differences between versions (storywise) are Banjo and Conker. Plus, would the events of Super Mario 64 be more canonical than Super Mario 64 DS? The point is that remakes do not prove their predecessor to be uncanonical.--Knife (talk) 22:19, 16 February 2007 (EST)

SM64 DS is more canonical than SM64 - the newer game represents what could not be done earlier, and corrects the mistakes of the previous version. Does anyone know if the DKR DS game manual or the game itself make references to the original DKR? Something like, Wizpig came back, or Diddy gathered his friends again, or something else. Remember, DKL basically had the same story as DKC, but DKL still indicated it was a sequel. -- Son of Suns

Locking the Move Feature OR Adding More Sysops

It is now necessary to reach an agreement based on consensus. Today's major vandalism, using the move feature, forcing the reverter to move the page back & delete the wrong redirect, is now the 2nd time it has happened. I cannot thank Sir Grodus enough for his efforts, but in both cases he was naturally not on the scene right away – how could we expect at least one sysop to be on 24 hours a day?

There are two solutions to stop or lessen the chances of this ultra-level vandalism:

1. To stop it, we will have to lock the move feature to just sysops.
2. To lessen the chances, we can add more sysops to cover a wider range of time daily.

If you favor one option, sign your name below. If you favor both or neither, say so in the "Comments" section. Wa _T^C_@^Y 19:56, 17 February 2007 (EST)

I have found a way to restrict moving pages to just new users – problem solved. Wa _T^C_@^Y 22:51, 17 February 2007 (EST)

I favor the second.-- Aipom --
