Director's Notes (Paper Yoshi (talk)) Hello, readers, and welcome to the Special Issue LXXV!! This month, each Sub-Team, including the Main Team, is themed around a video game series enjoyed by former Fun Stuff Director Gamefreak75 (talk), to match the issue's number (LXXV = 75 in Roman numerals). The theme for the Pipe Plaza team, as chosen by the Core Staff, is the Pikmin series. However, as our sections mostly feature factual information, the Pipe Plaza will not include said theme, aside from the lovely picture of the most handsome Yoshi-Pikmin in the world you see on your right.
Section of the MonthThe SotM poll from last month got only 10 votes. That's a very low voting turnout, so please be sure to cast your vote in this month's poll!! Additionally, Upcoming Games, written by myself, was mistakenly absent from the poll. The May Section of the Month, with 4 votes (40% of the total), is... ...Mario Calendar, for the third time!!! Mario Calendar, written by myself, features a list of all Mario, DK, Yoshi and Wario games released during the month in which the newest issue of The 'Shroom is released. Last month, it covered the games released sometime during May. FunkyK38 (talk) got second place with her Tip of the Month, earning 3 votes (30%), while Projects Seeking Contributors, written by 'Shroom Spotlight Manager YoshiKong (talk), was the third-placed section, with 2 votes (20%). Well, that's all for these notes!! Now go on and read this issue!! Hope you enjoy it! Monthly Report (Paper Yoshi (talk))Hey, and welcome to this month's issue of Monthly Report! This is Paper Yoshi, and I'm here once again to show you the Mario Wiki stats from June, May and April, as well as May-June and April-June comparisons. (Credit goes to Stooben Rooben (talk) and Super Mario Bros. (talk) for the table coding. Stooben originally created it when writing this section back in Issues XXIII, XXV and XXVI, and SMB based his coding for Issues XXXIX, XL and XLI – which I am using in this issue – off of Stooben's coding.)
Community Report (YoshiKong (talk))Hey and welcome to the Community Report, here to keep you updated on the latest wiki happenings. So during this month on the wiki, there have been some changes in policy. First, our citation policy has been Template:Plainlink to be more comprehensive, up-to-date and better written. Next up, a proposal to ban users from running fictitious stores out of their userspace passed, and the userspace policy was Template:Plainlink in accordance. We have also had a change in how our proposals are archived. Using the old idea of template {{PArchive}}, proposals are now recorded by year in color-coded boxes found on the proposals archive. This method is straightforward, easy to use and makes is easier to locate past proposals. These are the most recent proposals which have reached a consensus.
And that's all for this month's edition of the Community Report. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the issue! Forum Update (MrConcreteDonkey (talk))Welcome to the Forum Update! Yes, there was no forum update - I had important exams (and still do, actually, but look at how devoted I am!). So why don't we not waste any more time with a stupid introduction - I mean, it's not like I ever put anything important in here anyway, and, quite frankly, I think it wastes a lot of time where you could be reading something like what you came here to see (which is probably one of P_Y's sections but that's not exactly my point), as opposed to a long-winded, pointless introduction, which, of all people, I am well known to endorse and support on a regular basis. Well, I say no! Not today! Today we are going to be blunt and to the point in our updating of forum, as we do not want an introduction dominated by pointless cruft and large walls of text that are known to have no point whatsoever to the section and contain a lot of large words which would make somebody sound somewhat smart if they said them with a British accent, such as "kerfuffle" or "whatnot", and would fuel a ridiculous stereotype, such as the stereotype that we all have a posh accent, drink tea and wear top hats and monocles - it's ridiculous! Personally, I detest tea, it fogs up my monocle. SO WHAT HAPPENED IN APRIL AND MAY Top Stories Two updates were made to the rules: first, this... "NOTE: Rules that are blue in color do not apply to the 'Mindless Junk' board of this forum." ...was changed to this: "NOTE: Rules that are blue in color are permissive to the 'Mindless Junk' sub-board of the forums. Nonetheless it is encouraged that posts pertaining these rules are made within reason, as a constant disregard for the rules may be met with the appropriate punishment." And a new rule was added: "15. Multiple high resolution images or embedded videos existing on a single page should be placed in spoilers to avoid negatively affecting the performance of other member's computers." An update was made the the forum's FAQ, about rotating avatars and signatures. Baby Yoshi (UltraMario) was banned twice in these two months. His first ban lasted for two weeks and was on April 27, for posting a disturbing image, and making pointless and off-topic posts. He was then banned on May 14th, three days after his last ban expired, for making more pointless, off-topic posts despite multiple warnings and a suspension, and this lasts for thirty days, expiring on June 13th. Red Koopa Paratroopa (A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.) was also banned from exporting drama from the Wiki and antagonizing other users. His ban expires on June 10th, having lasted for two weeks. Chillv was banned for three weeks on June 4th, for general areas of rule-breaking, though mostly being overly confrontational on certain matters. His ban ends on June 25th, which is also my birthday. Coincidence? I think not...wait, where am I going with this? Statistics
Green signifies the user is at a higher position than last month. Forum Games Now, in terms of Mafia, currently ongoing are Stooben's MW Werewolf: Take IV, where even the host has been attacked; Nabber's C9 Mafia, where the phases go as fast as a dead slug; BMB's Homestuck Mafia Disc 2: Alpha Version, where the current phase is moving as fast as C9 Mafia; and, finally, LuigiNo1's Overpowered Mafia, where all the roles are entirely unfair.
And so, that's all for this special edition of the Fake News...hold on, this isn't the Fake News. You have read the Fake News, haven't you? Seriously, it's really good, go read it. No, this is the Forum Update. However, this is Gamefreak75's special issue, so I'll leave you with some of the finest quotes from the man himself: "theres some guy that gives you random treasure" "what is the usual lunch served at the university" "are you getting a physical copy or download?" "one of them could be lucky eggs" "i prrefer to have physical copies" "* Gamefreak75 has quit (*.net *.split)" What a guy. Projects Seeking Contributors (YoshiKong (talk))Hey and what's up? Welcome to Projects Seeking Contributors. This section will bring attention to any new and active projects on the wiki where input and general discussion are needed. Let's start with the most active and recent projects seen on the Wiki Collaborations forum board.
And that's it for Wiki Collaborations. Once again, see the forum board for the complete list. Next up, we have the discussions which are currently taking place on article talk pages. These can be seen at Category:Unresolved talk pages. The list is as follows.
And that's all for this month's Projects Seeking Contributors. If you think you could help out with any of the issues above, please take part in the said discussion taking place. We'll be updating this section next issue with any new discussions that need attention. Tip of the Month (FunkyK38 (talk))Although your userpage is your own space, be careful of what you post on it. Your page shouldn't offend, nor should you give too much of your personal information away to others. Think about what you want others to see, how much you want to reveal, and stick to that limit. Anniversary Announcements (Superchao (talk))Hello, Shroom readers! I'm Superchao, stepping in to bring you Anniversary Annoucements after a month's absence! Most importantly, The polls are up! Drop by to cast your vote on what nominees YOU think should win each award! Guess the Results is also open, so feel free to make your predictions. In tournament news, two tournaments have been put on the board so far. Groden (talk) and Stooben Rooben (talk) are hosting a Team Fortress 2 tournament, scheduled for July 19th-21st right now. Additionally, a Mario Kart 7 tourney is in the works, hosted by PyroGuy6 (talk) and Lakituthequick (talk). Additionally, Awards Mafia III will be opening signups soon, hosted by Smasher (talk) and Ralphfan (talk), and a Pokemon tourney is also in the works. See you next time (maybe), and don't forget to go vote! Mario Calendar (Paper Yoshi (talk))Hello, everyone, and welcome to Mario Calendar! Once again, I have no news regarding this section to share with you, so let's get going and check all the Mario, DK, Yoshi and Wario games released sometime during June:
Well, that's all for the Pipe Plaza this month!! Hope all enjoyed it!!
