Questionable username

I'm not sure if this would count as an unacceptable username. Could you look into it please? Thanks. J-Luigi (talk) 13:06, 18 December 2015 (EST)

Hmmm... I'm a bit on the fence about it, I'll ask for input from the other admins. --™ The 'Shroom 14:04, 18 December 2015 (EST)

MarioWiki:Everybody is equal

I'm wondering if we can create a project page claiming that every user, whether new or long-lasting, is treated equally amongst each other, and are just as valuable as one another. Drilly the Elfhog 02:43, 21 December 2015 (EST)

Hello! That's a very good principle, but I feel creating a specific page to mention it is not entirely necessary, given it's mentioned here, here, and it would classify as common sense as well. --™ The 'Shroom 10:59, 21 December 2015 (EST)

I see, as long as they mention something like "Administrators are not kings and queens, and can still be penalized in the same way as normal users should they ever violate the regulations.". Drilly the Elfhog 12:16, 21 December 2015 (EST)

RE:Uploads

Thanks! I try to help out wherever I can! I'm also occasionally finding duplicates and end up reusing assets while tagging the inferior images to be deleted. One such instance was Rainbow Note and File:Shrinking_Tiles.PNG. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 18:59, 22 December 2015 (EST)

Deletion of Green Space (Mario Party 9) redirect

I remove all what's linking to this redirect. The only one remaining is from Toa 95's page, but I'm not allowed to remove it.--^(TALK) 17:59, 28 December 2015 (EST)

Perfect, thanks! --™ The 'Shroom 18:02, 28 December 2015 (EST)

The 'Shroom Images

I noticed you and a few other admins have been untagging images for deletion if they are used for The 'Shroom. I get that this decision is made to preserve older issues of The 'Shroom but I tag them for deletion because if you look at MediaWiki Categories, they appear as duplicates because they have been categorized as such, such as Category:Super Paper Mario Images and Category:Mario Kart DS Images for examples. I was hoping an admin would make minor changes to The 'Shroom articles that used the outdated image to use the more up-to-date image. This has mostly been occurring with PNGs that used to be GIFs or JPEGs. Should I instead just remove the categorization for the outdated images so they won't be thought of as accidental duplicates? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 21:39, 28 December 2015 (EST)

There's no harm in keeping the outdated images in the older issues. Yes, the best would be to remove other categories form such images so that they don't show up twice. Thanks for all the work, it's very valuable to our wiki! --™ The 'Shroom 22:44, 28 December 2015 (EST)

Thanks for clarifying and adopting my idea. The only harm I see with the older image is using up server storage space. It just felt awkward to have two similar image pages be existing at the same time or even showing up in the category. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 00:19, 29 December 2015 (EST)

I believe server space is not an issue at the moment (though I could be wrong), so no need to worry about that now. If there are way too many images that fall in this scenario you can tag them with the Requested for Deletion template and I'll be sure to change the 'Shroom sections before deleting, but let's go with keeping both for the time being. --™ The 'Shroom 00:24, 29 December 2015 (EST)

Your signature

You didn't change the link in your signature yet; it still leads to User:Tucayo and User talk:Tucayo instead of you-know-what-they-should-be. I know Tucayo still redirects to Henry Tucayo Clay, but I'm just pointing it out. Drilly the Hedgehog 18:17, 29 December 2015 (EST)

It's not like it made any difference, as it still followed rule #2 on MarioWiki:Signature. --™ The 'Shroom 18:46, 29 December 2015 (EST)

Thanks!

I contacted Pi about that vandal, but you seem to have taken care of it before him. Thanks for blocking them and thanks for hiding that edit on my talk page! Hello, I'm Time Turner.

No problem, I'm glad to help! Pi probably had Recent Changes on Auto-refresh and was on another tab or AFK, it has happened to me. --™ The 'Shroom 23:35, 29 December 2015 (EST)

Other languages name

Salut ! I was editing the Lumacomète article, and I was wondering what's the wiki policy for the "Names in other languages" table if the article is named after an official non-English source. Should I add the French name in the table? Seems a bit redundant, but then again, why not? Cheers.
Banon (talk · edits) 14:01, 30 December 2015 (EST)

Salut! It's not explicitly stated but other articles do so, so sure, it should be added since it's still a foreign name. --™ The 'Shroom 14:04, 30 December 2015 (EST)

All right then. Thanks!
Banon (talk · edits) 14:08, 30 December 2015 (EST)

So I guess the reference itself should also be on the table, rather than in the introduction?
Banon (talk · edits) 14:13, 30 December 2015 (EST)

For this I see it better to have the reference on the introduction, as it's the first mention of the name in the main body of the article and would be more useful there. --™ The 'Shroom 14:15, 30 December 2015 (EST)

This is my opinion as well, actually. I looked through a few entries in here, and the reference location is pretty inconsistent. I'll edit those articles.
Banon (talk · edits) 14:22, 30 December 2015 (EST)

Ok, thanks! --™ The 'Shroom 14:24, 30 December 2015 (EST)

It seems that quite a few of these articles are actually named after translations of official Japanese names; however I can't always tell if it's a translation or a romanization. I know that the wiki policy is to use English names when the Japanese is loaning English words, but I don't speak Japanese. Do you think articles like Armored Stinger, Balloon Bridge, Bat (Donkey Kong), Beam Robota, etc. have proper titles?
Banon (talk · edits) 14:49, 30 December 2015 (EST)

I'm sorry, I can't give a proper answer on that :/ Maybe a post here could be answered by someone who speaks Japanese. --™ The 'Shroom 15:43, 30 December 2015 (EST)

I will. Thanks for your help!

Zombienom

Very sorry about that. I missinderstood, also I have not heard about Super Mario Flash before. I was also trying to explain to him that he indeed needs to wait four days before making an article. Anyways, my apologies. (talk|contribs) 23:44, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Don't worry about it! Thanks for explaining him about the four days :) --™ The 'Shroom 23:46, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Wow, that was fast.

While I was trying to undo vandal edits, you just came in to undo these edits.. Glad you just came in time, Tucayo! CSR 14:12, 2 January 2016 (EST)

Heh, I always keep an eye on Recent Changes to spot any vandalism right away. Good to know you were also ready to undo it :) --™ The 'Shroom 14:14, 2 January 2016 (EST)

Watch out, Tucayo. It seems vandal under your name has appeared. CSR 17:24, 2 January 2016 (EST)

Sounds like he's been on the wiki before. Golden Yoshi 17:27, 2 January 2016 (EST)

I think that vandal with numerous edits with inappropriate words is a same person. Yup, that's just an imbecile person ranting in this wiki. CSR 17:29, 2 January 2016 (EST)

Yup, just a random vandal sockpuppeting to evade his ban. --™ The 'Shroom 18:53, 2 January 2016 (EST)

This douche monkey is just too persistent; fun fact: he copied your name in leetspeak. I know I shouldn't resort to personal attacks, even to vandals, but he's just someone who deliberately wants to mess around by creating multiple accounts to help him do the job, which only gets him into trouble by people like you, RandomYoshi, Walkazo, Lindsay, etc. (for the case of H3nry Tuc4y0 C14y, it was Yoshi876). Also, consider doing a range block in case something is suspicious; I suggest going back and performing CheckUser on the previous blocked users.

@Csrspirit Also, Tucayo is an admin, so he has rollback powers, so of course he's supposed to be fast, since he does this with just one click. Drilly the Hedgehog 20:43, 2 January 2016 (EST)

Every single blocked user is checked, don't worry about that. --™ The 'Shroom 11:23, 3 January 2016 (EST)

Vandal

There was a vandal name "SquidSketch", can you block him. I also propose to protected the page "Waluigi Stadium (GCN), I look on the page history and there was a lot of vandalism on this page.--^(TALK) 21:58, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Done, thanks for the heads-up. As for the article, I protected it again, turns out the previous protection had already expired. --™ The 'Shroom 22:10, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry, this is a bit unrelated (but requires your protection powers), but could you protect this article until the release of the day of my birthday February 18, 2016, the day Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS) release in Japan? There's a persistent vandal who keeps adding false information in the article. Ray Trace^(T|C) 22:16, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Sandbox Policy?

I would like to create a sandbox for myself located User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox. What is MarioWiki's policy regarding sandboxes for personal user creation, kind of like {{personal-image}}? I see User:RAP/PNG for example. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:00, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Per this page, you can have "Subpages that serve the wiki (These can include drafts for proposals, test templates, and miscellaneous works in progress.)". Sandboxes fit under this so you are free to have your personal sandbox(es). --™ The 'Shroom 22:10, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Thanks. I couldn't find that information. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:15, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Check out what I created. User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox. I don't think any page like it exists on the wiki. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:42, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Wow, there is indeed quite a difference between both images. I don't upload images often but it's good to know. --™ The 'Shroom 22:47, 9 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry I didn't reply to this. Some people RE: on the opposite user's talk pages while others just directly reply to the talk page like you did. Anyways, thank you. I added a few more details with how to take the best possible screenshots using an N64 emulator of some kind, specifically with the Glide64 rendering plug-in. I was wondering about Template:Mariowiki-image and how it works; can my tutorial page and images qualify for that template instead of being used as a Template:Personal-image? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 00:08, 15 January 2016 (EST)

Sorry about that, I used to reply on the opposite user's talk page but that makes reading old discussions a hassle. Let me check with the other admins on that and I'll get back to you. --™ The 'Shroom 10:56, 15 January 2016 (EST)

Both methodologies have pros and cons. Anyways, I hope to hear back soon. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:10, 15 January 2016 (EST)

I suspect we both forgot about this. Any updates? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:11, 2 February 2016 (EST)

We got entertained with other stuff but it's still being discussed. --™ The 'Shroom 23:26, 2 February 2016 (EST)

I made appropriate edits unless we didn't communicate effectively. You are welcome to edit the page to get it to look more approvable by MarioWiki staff. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:10, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Looks good. One question, though. What is the purpose of this section? --™ The 'Shroom 16:34, 4 February 2016 (EST)

I made quite a few changes to the page and it needs a look. I was trying to give examples of N64 games where 640x480 is supported. The only game covered by MarioWiki is Donkey Kong 64 and 64DD games (in theory, but I have no idea if N64 emulation can emulate 64DD). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:27, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Alright, it looks good. I scrapped the other NIWA-only games as they wouldn't be relevant for the page and I added italics to all titles. About the missing files, are they files we can obtain easily or is it a wait-and-see-if-someone-uploads-them kind of thing? --™ The 'Shroom 23:08, 4 February 2016 (EST)

I requested an image by Bazooka Mario (talk) as she has Super Mario Strikers and can upload high quality screenshots, such as File:MKWii - Blue Fake Item Box glitch.png. As for Wii U, I am having a hard time finding good images to demonstrate each resolution. I'm not using Super Mario Maker press images for the 1280x720 and 1920x1080 examples because they are pre-release images. I kind of want to keep it like one of our editors took and uploaded the screenshot. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:36, 4 February 2016 (EST)

OK, sounds good. We'll hold on until we have the Strikers image and then we'll see what to do with the Wii U. --™ The 'Shroom 23:38, 4 February 2016 (EST)

You wouldn't happen to know anyone on the forum that can capture 720p or 1080p PNG images from their Wii U via HDMI or has their Wii U GamePad hardmodded to intercept the video signal for screenshot capture? Maybe we can solve the problem that way. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 00:02, 5 February 2016 (EST)

I'll ask. --™ The 'Shroom 10:53, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Bazooka Mario (talk) supplied the image I was looking for (and I also used it elsewhere where applicable). Now I am waiting for Wii U PNGs, if we can find/upload them. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:02, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Alright, let's wait for a while to see if we can get them. I'll try to look around. --™ The 'Shroom 23:35, 5 February 2016 (EST)

I'm debating the name you gave the sandboxed article. I'm thinking MarioWiki:Screenshots is more appropriate because the Wii U and 3DS aren't even emulator sections. Also, should I include emulator names that are known for their accuracy for each section? Also, I was thinking of giving MarioWiki:Image Use Policy some MediaWiki headers. Would my page be linked there if the sandbox becomes accepted policy? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:29, 6 February 2016 (EST)

That name could work better, yes. I... am not sure if we can include specific emulator names, I'll ask about that. It would be linked from there, yes. --™ The 'Shroom 01:49, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Yes, emulator names should be included. --™ The 'Shroom 12:50, 7 February 2016 (EST)

I have added emulators and linked to them, but to their Wikipedia articles. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:15, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Sweet. Let's wait for a while to see if we can get Wii U images for it, then. As for Wacky Worlds, I think it'd be good to cover it if it can be properly covered. --™ The 'Shroom 12:13, 8 February 2016 (EST)

Wii U: I just found out you can upload screenshots of whatever you are playing anywhere as long as the webpage supports an upload file feature (such as Special:Upload). Limited to JPEGs. The Wii U has special handlers that will show the TV and GamePad screens instead of the open file dialog box of a regular computer. Upon my personal discovery, I'm starting to suspect the Wii U cannot render games in 1920x1080 (1080p or 1080i). Sure, the Wii U can output 1080p, but rendering a 3D image is a separate process. I think the Wii U is simply upscaling 1280x720 (720p or 720i). Don't know for sure. This could explain why Mario Kart TV YouTube renders (example) are 720p at max and why the screenshots I am uploading are 1280x720. This doesn't explain the 1920x1080 Gallery:Super Mario Maker E3 press release images though.

CD-i: The current Super Mario's Wacky Worlds screenshots are 2x native but it is salvageable right away to scale them to 1x native. For a while now, whenever I see an improperly scaled image that the game is sprite-based and doesn't use true 3D, I shrink the image down to 1x native with no detail loss but rather removing redundant pixels. It's quite easy in FastStone Image Viewer with no filter applied during reduction. The only catch is that the multiple native resolutions have to be an integer multiplied by the 1x native resolution (768x560 is 2x 384x280). I resize the image by ((1 / x) * 100)% where x is multiple times native.

Other things: MarioWiki talk:Image Use Policy

--Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:37, 8 February 2016 (EST)

I'm not that knowledgeable about screenshots so I'll answer about the headers. If you want input from other users, Megadardery and Hiccup would be a good option. --™ The 'Shroom 22:07, 8 February 2016 (EST)

Sorry about the wrongful page names for my sandboxes. All corrected. I am nearly ready to propose something for MarioWiki but I am now tying in additional tags with the sandbox page so that way any disputes with the {{image-quality}} tag can finally end (see here).

• User:Wildgoosespeeder/PNG/sandbox
• User:Wildgoosespeeder/Tweak/sandbox
• File:Glide64 2.png is using the two test templates.

You are welcome to edit the test templates. I can understand if the color scheme or overall look is bad. Visual design is not my strongest skill. I need help with that. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:04, 10 February 2016 (EST)

I now have a proposal for my sandbox templates active. Please look at it when you have the chance. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:09, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

You commented and all of your concerns were addressed and implemented. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:48, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

I'll read all of it before the deadline, I'll be quite busy until Thursday. I haven't read all comments but if the "Images that need improvement" category would bring the whole proposal down I'd suggest removing that, if you want of course. You can do so before the third day. --™ The 'Shroom 16:08, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

The new category is the whole reason I started the proposal. It seems like some users who pay attention to Category:Quality requested don't appreciate the current congestion that category is experiencing. The knee jerk reaction for some of those people is to remove the unwanted tag but that doesn't solve the problem that a better image needs to be uploaded as the removed tag reduces the chances of it happening. The new categories I was suggesting is my attempt to make the already existing category less congested and more manageable while still requesting better images be uploaded. I don't know if I am communicating that effectively to the people opposing my proposal. As part of the rules about proposing (#5), I think some votes are being cast in bad faith. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:54, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

If there's one thing I'm sure is those votes were not cast in bad faith, both users are professionals and wouldn't cast a vote in bad faith. They bring valid points. --™ The 'Shroom 16:57, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Believe me, I have considered some of their points. Bazooka Mario (talk), I made a much clearer definition of how to use my proposed tags and may consider expanding from the two proposed subcategories to even more subcategories relating to the image type (screenshot, sprite, or 3Drender). I am even actively looking for some suggestions now that she has brought new information to me. Baby Luigi (talk), this user has concerns about using tags in general as the tagging can cause alienation. I tried to counterpoint that. I mostly OK with her oppose vote. The only person that I truly feel that might be misinformed about my proposal is Megadardery (talk). My screenshot sandbox has nothing to do with the proposal. The proposal is strictly figuring out how to divide the congestion of Category:Quality requested by creating new tags and better defining how to use certain tags to avoid conflict so that way more time is spent getting better images uploaded and less time debating. I just hope that more oppose votes aren't based on misinformation. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:32, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

I believe the proposal isn't going over well. The response has been rather negative. Can I cancel it ASAP? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:58, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

You can go ahead and cancel it, yes. But it must be archived. --™ The 'Shroom 23:20, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Archived (I think I did it right). Whew, that is a weight off my shoulders, for now. I had no idea how unpolished my proposal was. I held off for some time before proposing to make sure my sandboxes were good enough but I didn't think I was way off the mark. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I'll re-propose later. Do I have to wait 28 days or something or can I propose if I feel it is ready for round 2 before then?--Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:55, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Don't worry, that often happens. It's one thing drafting it and a whole other thing holding it to a vote. Since it was cancelled you can re-propose when you feel it's ready. --™ The 'Shroom 00:01, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

• The proposal
  • The proposal is a bit more confusing than I anticipated upon giving a quick read.
  • I was going to give some thoughts and input, but the proposal's canceled. 45 minutes of typing and thinking wasted sadly.
  • Due to policy in that you can't edit after 3 days since the proposal is launched, I'm leaning oppose because it's a tricky issue that hasn't been addressed in entirety from other users' input to make it a recommended proposal to pass:
    • Being scared of JPGs and uploading all on PNGs
    • Standards on how game screenshots should be captured from an emulator
    • User participation of uploading images in comparison to just editing wiki pages
    • Lamenting on uploading better quality and higher resolution of game artwork that's out of our control
    • ...and probably more that I missed.
  • "Stricter Image Quality Tag Policy, Additional Image Quality Sub-templates, and Dividing Images in Category:Quality requested Into Subcategories"
    • It sounds like 3 proposals in one to be honest, might be factoring reason of opposing.
    • All of them have to be in good order due to the proposal being an all-or-nothing format. If one of them is faulty, all of them are.
    • If it is a support-oppose individually in those three proposals within a proposal and not support-oppose all three at once, there wouldn't be an urge to auto-oppose all if one of the parts are bad.
  • Why not create a discussion to clear up things? RAP... 00:05, 12 April 2016 (EDT) I thought I would pop by!

Where to have the discussion? The forum has been suggested several times to me but one more place to keep track of a username and password? I remain hesitant. Talking between different talk pages is hard to keep track of. I guess the best place to have relevant discussion for the proposal itself is here? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 01:12, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

And I have to track a bunch of individual passwords for myself! I'm with you on not creating unnecessary accounts. Anyway, yes, that would be at it's starting point. You just need to put down the basics on what the situation is, and how to tackle it piece by piece, and call users to join in to discuss. I'll pop up around Friday or Saturday right now. RAP... 01:39, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

And the discussion and now been created. I tried to include everything that has been brought up. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:41, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

'Shroom Images Appearing in Special:UnusedFiles

I've been thinking about this for a while. I know not to mark 'Shroom images for deletion but so they stop showing up in Special:UnusedFiles, would it be OK to create an archival page of some sort for all 'Shroom images that appear to be going unused? That way we can make room for files not 'Shroom-related to show up in Special:UnusedFiles?

If you link me to them I can make a gallery in my user page and they won't show up anymore. Or alternatively I can talk to the Staff about creating something like The 'Shroom:Archive/images. --™ The 'Shroom 17:19, 19 January 2016 (EST)

That would take too long. I've seen a lot. I was thinking of using a MediaWiki search through Category:Shroom images and have MediaWiki list the ones that are going unused. Not sure how to go about doing that but I'm sure it can be done. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:29, 19 January 2016 (EST)

Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. --™ The 'Shroom 18:26, 19 January 2016 (EST)

I guess the best method is to create 23 pages worth of The 'Shroom:Archive/images (2216 right now) for Category:Shroom images:

1. The 'Shroom:Archive/images/1
2. The 'Shroom:Archive/images/2
3. The 'Shroom:Archive/images/...
4. The 'Shroom:Archive/images/23

The 23rd page will be the starting place for future 'Shroom Images and new pages will be created once 23rd fills up. That way the images are guaranteed to be used at least once, freeing up slots in Special:UnusedImages. Of course we can work on how many images per page if 100 is too many. I already have all files logged into a text file on my computer to make this very easy to create. Does that sound like a good plan? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:50, 19 January 2016 (EST)

I'd have to run this by the rest of the Staff to see if this would be something worth putting our time and effort on. --™ The 'Shroom 23:23, 19 January 2016 (EST)

Is there a thread I can follow? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:48, 20 January 2016 (EST)

No, sorry, this is being discussed privately. --™ The 'Shroom 15:51, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Hearing the news about our archive suggestion being rejected has got me curious what the solution could ultimately be. Two things are coming to mind how the solution will take shape. The first idea is that MarioWiki will get a set-up similar to that of Wikimedia Commons. Another idea is that there will be a Wiki dedicated to just The 'Shroom, freeing up MarioWiki. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:44, 20 January 2016 (EST)

To be honest I think these two are way too drastic for something that is not actually a problem. If there is a much simpler solution that doesn't require a massive overhaul, we can work on that. I'll ask around to see if somehow a template ({{Not-unused}}) could make images bypass Special:UnusedFiles. --™ The 'Shroom 22:53, 20 January 2016 (EST)

This could help, but you'd have to run that by Porplemontage (talk). --™ The 'Shroom 22:59, 20 January 2016 (EST)

The simplest way is still the archive page way with my text file of all 2,216 files ready to go (preferably a gallery setup), but that was rejected unless you can put the images in new pages for your own personal use. Simpler would be a way to search through Category:Shroom images for the ones that aren't being used and take only those files to put into an archive (less files essentially but unsure how many that is), but you don't know how to go about doing that, if anyone else knows, or it is even possible. Supposedly Megadardery (talk) is a self-proclaimed expert with MediaWiki. Maybe he can help with our dilemma. Also that MediaWiki help page you suggested could be another alternative if Porplemontage (talk) approves. The only down side I can potentially see is that all unused images have a category for them. Note that images in Special:UnusedFiles are not showing up Special:UncategorizedFiles. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:08, 20 January 2016 (EST)

This is apparently way more trouble than I thought it would have been. You can just ignore the 'Shroom images and proceed with the rest of the Unused Files, no need to overcomplicate things to free up less than 5% of the Unused Files list. --™ The 'Shroom 23:15, 20 January 2016 (EST)

I honestly thought this problem would get solved with relative ease with pages to link them to force them out of Special:UnusedFiles. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:29, 20 January 2016 (EST)

A note from one of the core 'Shroom staff; we're not doing the Archive thing, and a few obviously not-unused 'Shroom images in the category should really not be a huge problem. There is no benefit to having a massive Archive, and it's just excessive work on us for no gain, so I'm afraid we won't be doing that. -Crocodile Dippy (talk) 23:17, 20 January 2016 (EST)

But an unknown number of them are showing up in Special:UnusedFiles (not the same as Category:URL-linked images). The ones I am seeing in the special page are not marked with {{not-unused}}. Marking them as such doesn't solve the original problem. I find it kind of annoying I am seeing Photoshopped versions of boxart for The 'Shroom as I go through. I keep mistaking these as duplicates of images used in the regular pages when they are clearly not when you click on the file link. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:29, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Well then that's your problem, isn't it? It's not that hard to determine what is and isn't the real deal amongst those images, bruh. -Crocodile Dippy (talk) 23:35, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Also, in all honesty, Wildgoosespeeder, it's the 'Shroom staff's right to do as they please with their images, and it's inappropriate for you to continue pushing at this point. No one is forcing you to even go through the unused images, so if their few Shroom-tagged files are that much of an annoyance to you, maybe you should stop and find another project to do instead, because fixating on non-issues like not-unused images is more of a hindrance than a help. - Walkazo 23:44, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Yeah, I should put this topic down for now because it isn't going anywhere at this point. I'll continue to put up with the issue unless other people have something to say or if the extreme were to happen and that were to be that too many 'Shroom images show up in the unused files list. The only people potentially concerned with it right now are me, Megadardery (talk), and Henry Tucayo Clay (talk). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:57, 20 January 2016 (EST)

MLSS tutorial images.

So, earlier this year, User:Yoshi876 removed many screenshots from the Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga special moves : Splash Bros., Knockback Bros., Chopper Bros., Swing Bros., Bounce Bros., Fire Bros., Cyclone Bros., Thunder Bros.. Because it fell under the strategy part. Unfortunately, that means that a lot of images went unused, I didn't want to tag them all with delete, because I'm still not 100% sure that they are completely unneeded, so I decided to ask you if you have any opinions on that matter, otherwise, if you have time, please delete them.

I'll ask from input for the other admins, I think they are along the line of what is strategy and what isn't. --™ The 'Shroom 18:26, 19 January 2016 (EST)

Ok thanks, and if it is possible, can you look back at the deleted revisions of File:CoasterWorld1.JPG, just to see what it was replaced with? (It probably had a delete template) Thanks--

18:43, 19 January 2016 (EST)

There was no delete template on it, sorry. --™ The 'Shroom 23:23, 19 January 2016 (EST)

The images were deemed as unnecessary, regardless of whether they're strategy or not. I'll proceed to delete them. --™ The 'Shroom 23:41, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Never mind, I saw it. Parameters need to be updated to the new parameters in {{bisenemy}} and {{dtenemy}}, as there was a recent propsal that changed them. Some pages haven't been updated yet.

Deleting Images

Just something that has been bugging me for the past couple of months. I noticed that images in Category:To be deleted are not being deleted in a timely manner but is rather taking days or weeks to see deletion. Months ago as I was editing and getting more familiar with MarioWiki's contents, I noticed that images were being deleted within 48 hours, which seemed more reasonable at the time. What's going on here? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:40, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

Administrators check this page on a regular basis, so there is no need to contact one and specifically ask for them to delete any backlogs that may accumulate in the meantime. However, if a specific page needs to be deleted to make room for moving a different article to that title, if something needs to be deleted as part of a passed proposal, or if there are other time-sensitive matters involved, contacting an admin to delete the pages or files in question as soon as possible is perfectly acceptable.

From Category:To be deleted. The images will be deleted, there isn't any urgency to delete them. --™ The 'Shroom 21:11, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

It doesn't seem like that is the case though as of late. That is why I asked. Maybe a policy changed and someone forgot to update what you quoted. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:33, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

They are always deleted, no policy has changed. --™ The 'Shroom 21:36, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

OK then. Most of the images currently there have been marked for deletion for a week now. I thought it would have been deleted by now. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:43, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

Hello, I want to ask a question: If I use a walkthrough on the Internet as a base to compile a list of items that can be found in Toad Town, and I have followed the walkthrough to ensure every bit of information in it is correct, and I write the item list in my own words, do I need to cite the guide?

Is there an account creater ability on this Wiki? I heard that Wikipedia has that. TabuuandPeach's father (talk) 21:36, 17 April 2016 (EDT)

Joining the Shroom

I decided to join the Shroom, where do I go to sign up. Fawful's MinionFile:Fawful's Minion-Logan.jpeg 23:18, 18 April 2016 (EDT)

Hello, please follow the application steps here. Also, please change the height of your signature image to 35px. --™ The 'Shroom 23:25, 18 April 2016 (EDT)

Funny Story

Wow. You put me in quite a position here to get a better quality image supplied for File:Pm btl 01.png. I just past this part by redoing the game (at Moustafa currently). Luckily cheating was on my side. I started over again but this time, I was able to warp myself to a more favorable spot in the game and work my way back to the Buzzar battle since this boss can only be fought once. I guess the lesson here is upload anyway before putting something up for deletion if the file is of bad quality, especially for RPGs. :P --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:55, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

Heh, it's always better to see if an image can be used anywhere else! --™ The 'Shroom 10:18, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

The context of the image matched File:PM Tattle.png better than Buzzar. It was an image demonstrating Goombario's Tattle move in battle. It wasn't an image very specific to Buzzar. I thought that Gabumon (talk) just duplicated an image as he was working on Paper Mario. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 13:31, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

Block

SpongeBob Arceus (talk) 22:28, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

an old image.

Here's an image, I don't want it anymore, so im abandoning the image, so I can make room for the image I was talking about about a week ago, as long as that image is not deleted. Here's the link to the image: http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Dr-_Mario_cannot_get_to_the_singing_Princess_Peach!_2016-03-04_01-37.jpg Thanks!
The preceding unsigned comment was added by TabuuandPeach (talk).

If you are abandoning it it will be deleted. --™ The 'Shroom 15:38, 22 April 2016 (EDT)

Yes, im sure. It was horrible, so I can make room for a New, permanent personal image. By the way is that image I talked about still around? TabuuandPeach is back! (talk) 22:59, 22 April 2016 (EDT)

Ok, it's been deleted. --™ The 'Shroom 00:10, 23 April 2016 (EDT)

Re:Proposal outcomes proposal

Since you're onboard with this, will you or any other admin consider unlocking the archives just so other users can edit the proposal outcomes? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:19, 23 April 2016 (EDT)

Sure, that would be no problem. --™ The 'Shroom 10:20, 23 April 2016 (EDT)

Can I issue a reminder?

I just looked at SuperLuigi's edit count only 1 is on the Mainspace, the rest on User Talk pages, I know that issues a reminder, no need for you to do it, I can handle issuing the reminder. Thanks! TabuuandPeach is back! (talk) 15:39, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

That calls for a {{Userspace}} warning, not a Reminder. --™ The 'Shroom 15:40, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

Okay I'll do that. TabuuandPeach is back! (talk) 15:43, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

You can take a page from that same book and start focusing way more on Mainspace edits. 73% of your edits are in User and User talk pages. --™ The 'Shroom 16:24, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

A question.

On the German branch of this Wiki, does my Username and Contributions on this branch carries over and be shared between the 2? TabuuandPeach is back! (talk) 22:04, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

No, they don't. --™ The 'Shroom 23:40, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

Spellng policy

Could you try to answer this anon's question about the policy on American/British spelling rules? I looked and I can't find a specific policy that says it. --driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 19:39, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

Image uploading.

If I had a good image an put it a gallery, would it count as a Mainspace edit? (Only putting the image in the gallery.) TabuuandPeach is back! (talk) 18:35, 1 May 2016 (EDT)

It'd technically count as a Gallery edit, but that's good. --™ The 'Shroom 18:37, 1 May 2016 (EDT)

An edit from an IP.

The IP address 212.162.177.96 has a word that yong people shouldn't see. The edit summary for User talk:Lemon Meringue has a bad word in it. It would be good for you to hide it. Thanks! TabuuandPeach is back! (talk) 11:22, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

Userspace Warning ignored.

I gave SuperLuigi a Userspace Warning, but he's still editing the Userspace, Since the Userspace Warning he edited the Mainspace once, but edited the Userspace even more. I think he needs a higher warning. Thanks! TabuuandPeach is back! (talk) 13:27, 5 May 2016 (EDT)

He did deserve a warning but you should instead worry about editing the mainspace more yourself. --™ The 'Shroom 21:44, 5 May 2016 (EDT)

Personal Image question.

How do you make a signature as a Personal Image? TabuuandPeach 16:30, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

Tag it with {{personal-image-sig}}. And please follow the steps outlined here so the code is not pasted on every page you edit. --™ The 'Shroom 16:34, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

image update

The picture File:Keelhaul Key.jpg is obsoleted in favor of File:PMTTYDHiddenBlocks9R.png, but it is still used twice in the 'Shroom. Can you update the related 'Shroom pages and delete the former picture? Thanks. A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 03:31, 9 May 2016 (EDT)

Done. --™ The 'Shroom 15:57, 9 May 2016 (EDT)

Voting Proposal

I need to verify with you something. The proposal that I started last week, did I do it right? MarioWiki:Proposals#Vote For More Than One Option On Proposals With More Than Two Choices. If so, how should I modify the rules? I'll archive the proposal shortly after appropriate edits are made to the rules. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:55, 10 May 2016 (EDT)

I can take care of the modification to the rules, don't worry. --™ The 'Shroom 22:56, 10 May 2016 (EDT)

OK then. I'll just archive the proposal. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:58, 10 May 2016 (EDT)

Questionable Uploads

Fawful's Minion (talk)'s uploads have been rather poor. Should a {{warning}} or {{lastwarn}} be issued? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 14:38, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

Since he has never been told anything regarding his uploads (that I could find, at least), a Reminder would actually be better. If he ignores it and continues doing this, then a Warning would be in place. --™ The 'Shroom 16:08, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

This user has also has issues filling out {{aboutfile}}. I have a suspicion that the user is really a sockpuppet of Jhonatan2 (talk). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:21, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

From what I can see, he isn't. Regardless, if he ignores the Reminder and the aboutfile Reminder we can step it up to a Warning or a Last Warning after that. --™ The 'Shroom 16:28, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

I have brought up his neglect of {{aboutfile}} several times before. The poor quality images seem to be a new one, starting March 23, 2016. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:48, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

I will try to do a lot better with my uploads next time, also I'm a YouTuber so I am not a sockpuppet of Jhonatan2 (talk). The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 02:46, 12 May 2016 (EDT)

Could you block Mario's Number 1 Fan again? He removed his warnings shortly after his first block expired. J-Luigi (talk) 12:44, 15 May 2016 (EDT)

A user that say im harassing him.

This user has said on his Talk page that im harassing him. Im actually NOT harassing him. I don't do Personal Attacks. (harassing is another word for a Personal Attack) and he threatening to report me, so can you take care of him before things get out of control. Thanks! TabuuandPeach 00:26, 16 May 2016 (EDT)

You are harassing him and dragging drama from other wikis into here. If you have a problem with SmashWiki, email them or something, don't drag it here. Stop harassing him about your block or you will be warned. --™ The 'Shroom 00:29, 16 May 2016 (EDT)

{{userbox|border=black|mainbkgd=lightblue|codebkgd=black|codecolor=lightblue|code=[["FILE NAME.EXTENSION"|50px]]|msg="TEXT"}}

It's not hard at all, just change "FILE NAME.EXTENSION" and "TEXT". --™ The 'Shroom 16:56, 16 May 2016 (EDT)

Deceased Category

I personally think it's kinda odd how real people like Bob Hoskins, Kate Fleming, Satoru Iwata, etc. are on a category with fictional characters like Princess Shroob, Cackletta, Daisy's mother etc. do you think they should in separate categories like Category:Deceased (fictional) and Category:Deceased (non-fictional)? The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 04:00, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Might be reasonable to split into Deceased Characters and Deceased People. You could propose it in the talk page. Not in a TPP necessarily, just as a discussion. --™ The 'Shroom 16:11, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

YouTube Video help

How do I put a YouTube Video (not a link) into my user page? TabuuandPeach 17:39, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

We have, like, a whole page answering that. The Help link on the sidebar has all help pages. --™ The 'Shroom 21:44, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

The Talk page for the main page has a ton of swear words.

I know this was over a year ago, but a user put a Ton of swear words that makes me sick to my stomach. Can you slash it out? It has excessive swear words, suiside threats, threats to users, and threats to the community. Can you slash them out? For quick access this link will take you directly to the place so you can slash them out: http://www.mariowiki.com/Talk:Main_Page#why_was_i_banned_from_the_forums.3F Thanks! TabuuandPeach 22:08, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Just ignore it. Oh, and two things: please don't make a new header every time you ask something, just use the same one if it's the most recent; and start focusing more on actually contributing to the wiki rather than worrying about the comments of a banned user. --™ The 'Shroom 22:10, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Fancy Signature

Hello Tucayo. I was just wondering how to make a cool signature. Many users have a custom signature, and I would like to know how to make one. Thanks in advance! --CenturyOfLuigi (talk) 18:55, 22 May 2016 (EDT)

Hello! Help:Signature has some basic steps. If you see a signature you particularly like, you could look at the coding and as the user in question if you could base your signature off theirs'. Or you can experiment yourself with other elements. There's no single way to make a custom signature :) --™ The 'Shroom 21:37, 22 May 2016 (EDT)
