| == The hand thing == | | == If someone gets blocked on another wikipedia, then does it mean that they get blocked on other wikis too? == |
| | |
| ??? and "Hand" are explicitly the same character. Note the source they use to give "Hand" its name.<br>''"Many characters from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask appear in Labrynna, and the hand in the toilet is one of them."''<br>Note that this is in lowercase and explicitly identified as the same character. So by Zeldawiki's standards, they must be different, particularly as they cite ''Hyrule Encyclopedia'' (which has the exact same situation SMBE had for us, they just refuse to acknowledge that). As for "Phoeni," that's a PRIMA name for a character that in the game itself was called ???. They were split three days ago by an admin. Anyways, I'm just going to consider this the ultimate proof that Zeldawiki is broken beyond repair.

| == I messed up again :/ ==
| |
| | |
| Hi Alex, sorry to bother you. I've been trying to upload some pictures from the DK Wiki on to the site and I keep on messing up. I want to thank you for fixing my Tomato pic. As you can probably tell I have no idea what I'm doing. I thought I had it figured out, but then I made the same mistake with these two files:

| https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Ghost_Book.png
| |
| | |
| https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Klam.png

| == Wiki rules ==
| |
| | |
| The rules of this wiki say that if a normal user adds his or her point (whether it be for advice or not) on another user's talk page on which an admin gave a warning or block, it just makes the admins' jobs harder. Why would that be the case if the commenting user wants to give the warned or blocked user advice or a past experience?

| == Re:Yoshi Colors ==
| |
| | |
| The proposal was initially just about [[Talk:Green Yoshi#Merge Green Yoshi with Yoshi or Yoshi .28species.29|Green Yoshi]] for now, but I was encouraged to switch gears to [[Talk:Yoshi (species)#Merge all or certain color Yoshis into Yoshi (species)|more/all colors]] ahead of time. That might have been how you overlooked it, although it definitely wasn't my intention, and it did get 12-1-2 in favor of merging after all. I did just take into account the platform games when I made the proposal (though I'd consider ''Super Mario Sunshine'' one special Yoshi with unique color-changing abilities and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' just the main green Yoshi under the temporary affects of power-up fruit), but Baby Luigi did bring up the stat differences in the spinoffs. The individual colors and their occasional differences will be mentioned in the species article when the merge is complete. I was also thinking about adding a table of appearances for the Yoshi colors in the species article, so that information is now in one easily accessible spot.

| == Deletion ==
| |
| | |
| Okay, I uploaded a better image, and this time I want to mark the old image for deletion correctly. To get rid of the links the old image marks, should I change its filename to the new filename on all its pages? And on the old image's file page, should the new image's filename be after "{{delete|[[:File:Image.png|replaced"? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 22:17, March 28, 2019 (EDT)

| == Colored Yoshi articles ==
| |
| | |
| I'm going to miss those colored Yoshi articles, but considering that the other colored Yoshis aren't as famous as the one Yoshi we all know and love, I think it's better to have their information on the Yoshi (species) article. Maybe the thumbnail that was on each colored Yoshi article could be added to the "Gallery" section on the Yoshi (species) article or to its article's gallery page?

| Image-quality won't change that TSR doesn't have a rip for it and that appears to be a jpg-to-png conversion. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:57, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Point of the image-quality template is to notify that the image needs improved. TSR may not have the sprite now, but they could later.

| :The link Mari0fan100 posted went to a fake warning, but the talk page owner, B.wilson, started removing their talk page content for several revisions and no one put any of it back.

| == Mario riddle 2 ==
| |
| | |
| Here's another Mario riddle I made up. Bowser challenges Mario to play ''Game & Watch Gallery 4''--collecting all 220 stars--in one day. Mario accepts the challenge, with Bowser believing it won't be done. Mario goes home and starts playing the game from the beginning. After a few failed attempts, he earns five stars in every minigame mode, except for Game B in the Classic and Modern versions of ''Donkey Kong 3'' and ''Boxing'', since he doesn't have anyone with whom to play the two-player modes. As a result, he collects 200 stars. He even plays the Museum games just for fun. The next day, Mario returns to Bowser to show him the result. Bowser is shocked to see that Mario collected all 220 stars, meaning Mario won the challenge. However, Mario didn't have an extra copy of ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', and he didn't ask anyone to play the two-player modes with him that day. How did Mario win Bowser's challenge? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 14:35, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Can you get stars from Museum games? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:12, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| No, you can't. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 17:13, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Then I don't know. Don't have the game, so I don't know how we would do this. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:18, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Answer: Mario showed Bowser a save file of when he previously completed the game. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 17:26, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Doesn't the game only have one save file? Or would that mean Mario has an extra copy, which he could've used to get the remaining stars? Looking at a video doesn't show me any kind of file selection. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:31, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| In the description section of World of Longplays' YouTube videos of ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', the player says that he couldn't receive the last 20 stars since he didn't have another player, but he found a save with the cast credits. That's how I got the idea for this riddle, but maybe I misunderstood it? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 17:50, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

| == Poem ==
| |
| | |
| This is a poem I wrote. I call it "Twenty-one Errors in an Essay." Please tell me what you think. Can you identify the 21st error?
| |
| | |
| What is so wrong about my essay,
| |
| My non-understanding teacher?
| |
| | |
| For me to begin, you wrote in pen;
| |
| You didn't intent each paragraph within.
| |
| You didn't write neat and wrote the number two,
| |
| And as for homonyms, you wrote the wrong ''blue''.
| |
| There are no periods, colons, or commas;
| |
| And as for spelling, you misspelled ''drama''.
| |
| Your name isn't here and nor is the date;
| |
| You finished this paper and turned it in late.
| |
| You've too many ''and''{'}s and too many ''then''{'}s;
| |
| You used the same adverbs over again.
| |
| You used contractions, and I told you so,
| |
| To use them in essays, the answer is ''no''.
| |
| Proper nouns need to be capitalized;
| |
| Plagiarizing's bad, in case you haven't realized.
| |
| You didn't quote dialogue, as you can see;
| |
| And in this sentence, you're supposed to use ''we''.
| |
| | |
| Sorry about my essay, Miss ...
| |
| I had a day to finish this. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 18:10, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Sorry the poem isn't formatted the way it's supposed to be. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 18:12, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Don't worry about the formatting, pay it no mind.<br>I read it all, the error was easy to find.<br>I didn't even have to finish to find the mistake.<br>Though I may have had to do a double-take.<br>The error is obvious, even more so if read live.<br>You simply misspelled "indent" on line five. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:26, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Gosh darn autocorrect! That wasn't the error I had in mind. The last error is hinted in the last two lines of the poem. What is it? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 18:40, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Well, darn, I put effort into that XD I figured it had something to do with the end of the poem, but I wasn't sure. I've turned in single-day long assignments late before, so that doesn't seem like a mistake to me. Well, a different kind of mistake, if that's what it is. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:45, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Start with the line "Sorry about my essay, Miss ..." and read the line after that. This error might be the biggest one to make in an essay (it's likely something a lot of people do when they don't want to do something they need to do at the moment). What is it? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 18:52, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :...Lie? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:55, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| No, not that. Here's a clue: This error that the student made in writing his essay led to him making all the other errors. It can be summarized in only one common word. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 19:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Procrastination is the other word coming to mind, but if that's it, I have no time frame here. Turned it in late, yes, but how long did they have to work on the essay? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:08, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| You got it! The time frame doesn't matter. The student had time to write a better essay, but because he procrastinated, he ended up rushing through it after realizing it was overdue; as a result, his teacher gave it a failing grade. I've had some experiences of that (though probably not with that many errors). When we procrasinate, what we need to get done either doesn't get done at all or doesn't get done as planned. Procrastination seems like a little thing, but it can make a big difference, usually negatively. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 19:22, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Your poem was nice, anyway. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 20:01, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Thanks :P I get it, procrastination ''sucks''. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:03, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Here's another poem I wrote. I was inspired to write it after seeing the ''Mario Party 9'' minigame Don't Look. This poem is called "Don't Look!" What do you think of it?
| |
| | |
| The arrows are pointing up, left, and right.<br>Now's your chance to look around.<br>Hey! You weren't supposed to look up.<br>You were supposed to look ''down''! [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 19:49, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

| == ''Mario Kart 64'' ==
| |
| | |
| I recently had a chance to play ''Mario Kart 64'' with my siblings, and boy, did it bring back memories! I forgot that in VS, the sound effects of the first player, including the kart, item boxes, and water and lava fall-ins, are omitted (at least, in two-player mode)--bummer.
| |
| | |
| The "Enemies" section table on the ''Mario Kart 64'' article has "Bat" red-linked, but I'm not sure an article about it should be created, likely because there's not much info about it. Also, the "Non-playable" table section requests that additional images be uploaded, but an image is in each row in the first column. What are your thoughts about these? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 23:17, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :For older TVs with only one audio port, it actually depends which audio color plug you put in. I think it's red for top and white for bottom. If both can be inserted, should work fine. We did four-player Mario Kart 64 the other day, and sound played just fine.
| |
| :The Bat enemy is really just a generic bat, it doesn't do much until that run into you. It's role was replaced by [[Swoop]]s in later games, so maybe it should link to there? The image template has been moved down a section. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:23, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

| According to the in-game quotes on the Banshee Boardwalk article, the bats are simply called "bats," so maybe "Bat" on the ''Mario Kart 64'' article shouldn't link to Swoop. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 22:59, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :True, but "bat" is used generically, and isn't significant enough to warrant its own article. Removing the link altogether is also an option. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:04, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

| Should the balloons in ''Mario Kart 64'' have their own article? Originally, "balloon" on the article was linked to a disambiguation page on which the ''Mario Kart 64'' balloons aren't linked, so I linked "balloon" on the ''Mario Kart 64'' page to the Balloon Battle section on the Battle Mode page.

| ==Invalid vote==
| |
| GrainedCargo192's vote [[Talk:Gummit#Split Golden Gummit and Spiky Gummit out of this page|here]] is invalid, as his vote is stating that splitting Gummits would create stubs, despite stub pages '''only''' referring to pages that lack information, not necessarily small pages. It is not the first time were he mislabeled stubs, and he has been told before that stubs are not always small articles and vice versa. While TDA has told him that it happened a day ago and his vote has not been changed, so it may be time for it to be removed. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 12:40, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :The vote isn't invalid, but it's not correct, either. He has yet to edit the wiki after his votes on the fourth, and he still has time to remove it if he wants to. If he doesn't and the proposal passes anyway, it wouldn't matter. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:44, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::The thing that matters thought is that fact that it would most likely stall the change for two weeks: FanOfYoshi would be able to cancel the proposal and put it in to effect due to having a consensus and being consistent with the rest of the wiki if it was not for his vote which is based off a misconception that he had for [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Enemy_Battles&diff=prev&oldid=2609950 a while]. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 12:50, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::He's been told about how stubs work now, he wasn't then. He can chose to ignore it, in which case, he would just keep getting reminded, but he now has something to tell him that short articles don't mean stubs. Because of TDA's message, no further action needs to be taken at the moment.

| |
| | |
| From [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]]:
| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| Swearing at other people is flaming and is unacceptable. The occasional use of profanity is allowed as long as it is not directed at another user, but it should generally be avoided. Similarly, if a user specifically requests that no profanity is used on their talk page, their wishes should be respected. You are free to use profanity in moderation in your own userspace, but if it is decided that you have overstepped the boundaries of good taste, you may be asked to tone it down.
| |
| </blockquote>
| |
| Profanity is not allowed when directed at someone or if there is an excessive amount of it. Not really something to give a warning for either way, unless it turns into outright flaming. If anything, it'd be a userspace warning. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:24, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

| The mission Big Penguin Race on the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' article says that the player shouldn't take any shortcuts, or the Penguin will disqualify them. Technically, that's not true. There's one shortcut the player can take: The player can jump over the gap right before the hidden wall shortcut (if you know what I mean), and the Penguin won't consider that cheating, as I've done a few times. I'm not sure it works in the original game. Do you think this info is relevant to be added to one of these articles?

Shortcuts that don't have these triggers, as in unintended shortcuts, would work I think. I drop off the ledge near the start and the race continues as normal, so it's really the tunnel that's a marked shortcut.

While it is true that your argument about the conjectural part of the redirect policy is what most likely what the policy means, '''''the current way that the policy is worded''''' makes it so that Throw Block is a valid redirect that, unless the policy is changed or you have another reason for its deletion, should not be deleted. If the Throw Block redirect is deleted, then other unofficial fan name redirects such as [[SMO]] (An abbreviation that is not officially used to my knowledge) will also have to be deleted. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 16:52, May 9, 2019 (EDT)

| | |
| == Throw Block ==
| |
| | |
| I have no official source, but I figured it didn't matter since the point of a redirect is to take people to the correct page. If some people know it as Throw Block - I've seen plenty of Youtubers and Redditors, plus it's the name given to it in the SMW hack program Lunar Magic - then lots of people are going to get lost looking for nonexistent page. The redirect is just to say "that's not what it's called, but I know what you mean". When I was looking for that article, I spent half an hour because I had never heard of 'Grab' Block.

| |
| :It's still valid, serving as a permanent reminder not to that collection of violations again. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:34, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::Yeah, but a last warning does more than to remind a user. It affects how they get blocked. An action that would usually just grant a user a warning would instantly get them blocked even if they did not do that action before, if they have a last warning. However, if they just had a regular warning, they would just get another regular warning. So, him getting a last warning despite getting blocked beforehand without one will permanently and unfairly affect how he is blocked/warned. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 17:38, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :::I suppose it could've been removed then, between the miscommunication of the admins. Yoshi876 was handing out the warning as I was blocking them. Then again, it doesn't really matter; if they do this stunt again, they'll just be blocked again anyway because of the information in the block log. They are on a last warning no matter what happens here. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:46, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::::Yes, but what I mean is if he did not have a last warning if he, for example, enforced a proposal before it passed, he would simply get another regular warning due to it being a level two offence. However, due to his unnecessary last warning, if he done that he would be blocked instantly, despite him never doing it. As stated on the warning policy: "If you go to warn someone and find they have already been given a last warning for '''any issue''', contact an admin, as that user most likely needs to be blocked for their latest misdemeanor." His unfair last warning '''will''' affect more that him doing that stunt: it will affect any other offence he may commit in the future. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 17:54, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :::::Alright, I get what you're saying. By this point, I certainly hope he's learned from that (it's been almost two years, after all), and I suppose the block itself was enough of a punishment. He hasn't had any major problems since, and since the warning and block came at the same time, I'll remove it. You're right, getting blocked for being on a last warning despite said warning happening during a block doesn't make sense. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:03, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
