| ==Kart Images==
| |
| Hey, the art in the infoboxes for kart pages, for example, [[Standard MR]], should be an image of just the kart itself, unless said image does not exist. In this case, the image does exist, so please stop changing it and other similar pages. However, you can include the artwork of characters in the kart in a gallery on the page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:48, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

| You are still ignoring what I said above. Continue to do so and you will be blocked. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:34, 22 July 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :For a different issue, the course articles infoboxes should have the image of their first appearance, as their later appearances are covered in later sections with the relevant images and coverage. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:30, 22 July 2017 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Banisher ==
| |
|
| |
| The only "resemblance" the [[Banisher]] has to the other karts is that it looks like a character. [[Piranha Prowler]] and the [[Bowser Bike]] would also be classified similarly if that were the case, and it's not. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:27, 4 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :The exact way the head with the two lumped-up eyes and no lower jaw actually does make it look pretty similar, in my opinion. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 17:31, 4 August 2017 (CT)
| |
| ::The point being, does [[Dry Bones]] bear a resemblance to [[Yoshi]] or [[Birdo]]? No. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:35, 4 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::Yes? The head shape is strikingly similar, with that large nose and twin lumped eyeholes. Yoshi was initially intended to be a type of Koopa, after all. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 17:46, 4 August 2017 (CT)
| |
|
| |
| == Italics ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey, just to let you know when writing game titles, they should be italicized. This is done by typing two apostrophes on both sides of the name. For example <code><nowiki>''Mario Kart''</nowiki></code> becomes ''Mario Kart''. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:09, 13 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Unnecessary changes ==
| |
|
| |
| I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with switching the images around in the kart infoboxes, specifically for [[Standard Kart]], but there really is no reason to change them. If you're trying to see how the images look in the infoboxes, just look at the image itself, no need to swap it out. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:49, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :There is especially no need to edit war over the infobox pictures either. As Alex said, changing them accomplishes nothing, so just leave them be, as all you're doing is flooding the recent changes with useless edits. {{User|Yoshi876}}
| |
|
| |
| == Karts brought back==
| |
| Aren't karts brought back supposed to be images of their first instead of later appearances. User|Cosmic Flare
| |
| :If their later appearance is a better image and shows the most recent appearance, then we use that. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:31, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| OK. Thanks. User|Cosmic Flare
| |
|
| |
| ==Standard MR==
| |
| Also, the reason why the [[Standard MR]]'s handling is its weak stat is because it is the lowest number. User|Cosmic Flare
| |
|
| |
| == Userboxes ==
| |
|
| |
| [[MarioWiki:Userboxes|All info here]]. The coding for my friend box is: <nowiki>{{userbox|border=#FFFF00|mainbkgd=#FF0000|codebkgd=#FFFFFF|codecolor=black|code=[[file:Stephan.png|60px]]|msg=This user has a powerful friendship with {{User|Alex95}}!}} </nowiki> {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:23, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| All right, thanks. :D User|Cosmic Flare
| |
|
| |
| It worked, but the image just say {{{code}}}. I typed the code properly. What did I do wrong? User|Cosmic Flare
| |
|
| |
| Hello! To fix that, I believe you would need to add <code>=</code> in between the word "code" and the image. Also, you should sign you comments by adding <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> at the end of it, which would link to your userpage and add a timestamp at the end. You can also create a personalized signature by following the tutorial on [[Help:Signature]] and the rules on [[MarioWiki:Signatures]]. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 16:39, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

| |
| == RE:Standard MR ==
| |
|
| |
| Most of the ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' images you can locate at [[Gallery:Mario Kart DS]]. I'm assuming you mean [[:File:MKDS_Title_Screen.png|this image of the title screen]] and [[:File:Mario_MKDS.png|this image of the sprite model]]. Both are fine to add to the gallery, imo.<br>
| |
| I don't know what you mean by the second point. [[Standard MR]] already has handling as its weakest stat. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:45, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| Alex 95, I added the Standard MR sprite, but when I got back on [[Standard MR]], The title screen of Mario was added in the gallery. Did you add that in? User|Cosmic Flare
| |
| :I did. Saw you were having trouble with coding. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:07, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| OK then. Thanks for the help. User| Cosmic Flare
| |
| ::No, but Mario's image could probably be swapped with the image of just the Standard MR itself. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:52, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| Ok, I'll do that now. User|Cosmic Flare
| |
| Alex95, I tried to swap Mario's image with the Standard MR itself, and it disappeared! What happened? What did I do? :O User|Cosmic Flare
| |
| :Fixed it. When plugging images into a gallery, you have to omit the usual image coding. Just the file name and the type (i.e "StandardKartMR.png") will do. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:00, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| All right, thanks. User|Cosmic Flare
| |
| ::Additionally, to avoid making too many edits and flooding the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] with the same page, hit the "Show preview" button to check your work and keep editing. Once you're satisfied, then you hit "Save page". {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:05, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

| == Standard WL ==
| |
|
| |
| Alex95, I am trying to create a gallery with images of the Standard WL, (most for them on the page [[Waluigi Pinball(course)|Waluigi Pinball]]
| |
| 1. How do I create a gallery?
| |
| 2. Is a gallery needed for the Standard WL page?
| |
| 3. Can you help me?<br>User|Cosmic Flare

|
| |
| # To make a gallery, you type <nowiki><gallery>(indent)Insert image here(indent)repeat if needed(indent)</gallery></nowiki>. "<>" inputs a code that the wiki reads and turns it into what is requested.

| # Probably not.

| == Standard Karts Stats in Mario Kart DS ==
| |
|
| |
| The standard karts stats in Mario Kart DS, isn't it supposed to be the highest number the strongest? For example, the [[Standard RB]]'s strong stat is speed because it is the highest and drift being weakest because it is the lowest. User|Cosmic Flare
| |
| :Yes. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:23, 31 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| So is highest number being its strongest and so on? [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :Yep. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:27, 31 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| So does that mean the Standard Karts in Mario Kart DS has to be changed to its highest and weak stat? [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]

| ==Standard Kart==
| |
| Is Mario's standard kart artwork in Mario Kart DS supposed to be Mario with the Standard MR? [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
|
| |
| ==Photo Editor==
| |
| So Alex 95, I edited [[Standard MR|Mario's standard kart]] to make it look like Luigi's standard kart. It said for the Standard LG, Standard PC, Standard YS, Standard TD, Standard DK, Standard WR, Standard BW, Standard DS, Standard DB, Standard WL, Standard RB and Standard SG to match the image for the Standard MR. Should I add it in as its image or in the gallery? [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :No. The images should be of ripped models, not an edited variant of the Standard MR image.
| |
| :Also, yes to the above question, I didn't see that earlier. Since the other images surrounding it in the [[Standard Kart#Mario Kart DS|gallery]] are of the character and their kart, Mario's should be the same. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:40, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| All right, but there are no existing images for Standard LG, Standard PC, Standard YS, Standard TD, Standard DK, Standard BW, Standard WR, Standard DB, Standard DS, Standard WL, Standard RB and Standard SG ripped models. Only the artworks. [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :Yeah, someone's going to have to get around to that later :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:49, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| By the way, can't anyone make a ripped model of their standard karts. Cause really no one stands a chance here. [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :I'm not seeing any on Model's Resource, so it may be a while. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:38, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| Yeah, but it would look like their standard karts, but they are used by [[Mario]]. And besides, this is the best I can do, Alex 95. [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :Sorry. Fan-made images are not allowed for official content. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:42, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| All right, but I don't know how to make ripped models for them. Unless it could have been the artwork of [[Mario]] with the [[Standard MR|Standard Kart]], to match the others. Until then, The conjunction has no reason to be there cause there are no existing images for their standard karts. [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :There are some users here that are capable of ripping models, but that will be done some other time. By "conjunction", I assume you mean the {{tem|more images}} template. The purpose of that is to let others know that additional images need to be uploaded, ''because'' there aren't any uploaded. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:49, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| Three things:<br>1. How are those users who make the ripped models?<br>2. Are they making them now?<br> 3. If not, when are they going to make them so we can remove the {{tem|more images}} template? [[User: Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| #I don't know everyone who can, but it might be best to make a post about it in the [https://www.marioboards.com/index.php?board=57.0 Wiki Collaborations board on our forums].
| |
| #Not to my knowledge, no.
| |
| #Please be patient. For stuff like this, it's usually done once someone feels like they have the time to do so.
| |
| {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:58, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| Also, why are fan-made images not allowed to be on this wiki? I am just trying to help. :C [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :In terms of dealing with official content, we should show official content. Fan-made stuff is usually subjective or poorly done. It's just better for everyone to not have to deal with those problems and stick to official material. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:06, 2 September 2017 (EDT)

| ==Mario Kart DS talk==
| |
| So, did you know, that I added in some images in the gallery for the [[B Dasher#Gallery|B Dasher]]. And the weight [[B Dasher|on the kart]] is close to 7, not 8. But don't worry, I fixed it long time ago.
| |
|
| |
| Next, and I'm going to be funny, [[Standard MR|that red plumber's standard kart]] and also [[Standard LG|his brother's standard kart]], shouldn't they share the same stats. But what the hey?
| |
| And, I think that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] should have their karts a palette swap of each. [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :Starting in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Mario & Luigi's karts have almost never shared the same stats. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:12, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| A thing about, and I'm going to be funny again, [[Princess Peach|a pink princess]] and [[Princess Daisy|a orange princess]] in ''Mario Kart DS'', and along with [[Donkey Kong|a monkey]], why do they have high [[Drift|drift]]? Oh, and also [[Bowser|Mario's old nemesis]] and [[Toad]] both of them top drift, but still.[[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]<br> So, what is your favourite kart and character combination in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''? Mine is [[Wario]] in the [[Egg 1]]. [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]

| :I haven't played the game that much. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:08, 4 September 2017 (EDT)
| |
| REALLY!!! :O :O :O [[User: Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]<br>
| |
| Also, something I wanted to asked. The image for the karts (except the [[B Dasher]], [[Egg 1]], [[ROB-BLS]] and [[ROB-LGS]]) are they supposed to be the screenshots or models? [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]<br>
| |
| Also, someone changed the [[Standard MR]] image to the artwork instead of the model. Should I change it back? [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| Well, should I change it back or not? [[User:Cosmic Flare|Cosmic Flare]]
| |
| :Fixed. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:50, 15 September 2017 (EDT)<br>
