Mario cartoon episodes

Hello, please avoid reordering the errors and trivia sections; this is inconsistent with how the rest of the episode articles are organised, and trivia sections always go at the bottom of the page since it's the section for any miscellaneous info that doesn't fit anywhere in the rest of the article.

BJAODN move I disagree with

Hi! I noticed you moved the "How to Draw Nintendo Heroes and villains 2" entry from Other to Fanon because of Super-Yoshi's reasoning when deleting the page. I disagree with this decision, however—the entry is clearly referring to How to Draw Nintendo Greatest Heroes & Villains, just under a made-up name. Compare the characters mentioned in the entry with characters present in that book that are absent from How to Draw Nintendo Heroes and Villains, and you can tell they're the same (spelling errors aside). Whereas it's unclear if "Smart toad" is referring to any canonical Toad and Glowsquid's reasoning simply supported a move to Fanon, this is a completely different story.

Infoboxes

The series title should be included in the first/latest appearances as well as the episode title. Mario JC 08:10, June 13, 2024 (EDT)

They also need to be separated in some form, like parentheses as I've been doing: Show title ("Episode title"), not named one after another. Mario JC 09:49, June 13, 2024 (EDT)

Names in other languages

Hey, good work on adding names in other languages for the cartoon episodes. I just wanted to let you know that the proposal to require citations for names in other languages passed last night, and I would appreciate it if you would be able to cite the source whenever you add a new name, as that saves time. However, I'm aware that you may not know how to cite episode names and the like, and I'm not entirely sure myself. I can go ask people about it if you want. If you're finding these on a guide of episodes or listing, citing the link should probably be fine. Technetium (talk) 13:05, August 26, 2024 (EDT)

On References

When you are adding citations, make sure to add the following to articles that don't have a references section:
==References==
<references/>

Alphabetical names in other languages

I don't think you have to manually reorder the languages - the template automatically displays them in the correct order (alphabetical besides Japanese), I'm pretty sure. Technetium (talk) 10:24, November 19, 2024 (EST)

Who are Geoffrey and Rosie?

I noticed in the navigation template for the Saturday Supercade DKJr. segments, you added two characters named Geoffrey and Rosie who don't have pages yet. Looking through the pages for the episodes, there was no mention of neither characters. Who are they? I'm not trying to remove them from the template, just wondering who they are. Are they from The Jungle Boy Ploy? Rykitu (talk) November 30th, 2024

Geoffrey and Rosie are two other servants of Lucy Belle who are relatively minor characters in the episode. Geoffrey is a handyman while Rosie is a maid. Apikachu68 (talk) 20:31, November 30, 2024 (EST)

Thanks! Was a little confused. Rykitu (talk) November 30th, 2024

"Lots of"

What exactly is wrong with this wording? I feel it does get the point across clearly and is not exactly an informal term. "Many" and "much" doesn't flow as well to me. Nightwicked Bowser 08:34, December 5, 2024 (EST)

Well, I guess it's just my preference. Apikachu68 (talk) 09:29, December 5, 2024 (EST)

External Video Titles with Square Brackets and Vertical Bars

Some of your recent image uploads have errors in the aboutfile template because the videos you sourced use square brackets or vertical bars (i.e. "|") in their titles. In those cases, surround the title with the <nowiki> tag so that it doesn't conflict with the brackets and bars used for external links and templates. Here's an example of one I fixed. - RHG1951 (talk) 22:40, February 22, 2025 (EST)

The Farthest Edge of Space Japanese name meaning

Hi, since you added the meaning of the Japanese name for The Farthest Edge of Space, does the name really just mean "In the Universe". I mean, it seems a little strange for a specific recurring location like that to have such a non-specific name, so I thought I'd ask you to confirm it. Thanks in advance. Blinker (talk) 07:48, March 7, 2025 (EST)

Not to bud in, but I think "The Depths/Recesses of Space" is more like it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:56, March 7, 2025 (EST)

I edited the Japanese meaning to be more fitting with the context. Apikachu68 (talk) 11:42, March 7, 2025 (EST)

Re: List of implied characters

hey, just as a heads up, i'm working on a proposal that could result in a big trim-down of the list of implied characters. i noticed you edit that page a bunch, so i figured i'd warn you. you might want to hold off on the additions until after the proposal passes, just so they don't get removed or moved elsewhere. — eviemaybe (talk / contributions) 15:13, March 21, 2025 (EDT)

I made a model in my sandbox showing what the list of implied characters would look like with all of the trims mentioned in your sandbox. Based on its appearance, it would reduce the size of the article by half. In my opinion, I feel that the offhand satellite characters, lore characters, pop culture references, and crossover characters should be removed, but I am unsure about the unseen authors. Apikachu68 (talk) 16:55, March 21, 2025 (EDT)

i wanna point out that the categories are currently unfinished, i might end up adding more. it's still a work in progress. i appreciate you putting the work in making that model, though! — eviemaybe (talk / contributions) 18:49, March 21, 2025 (EDT)

Spaced Out Theater

First, I greatly appreciate your efforts to make pages for the Club Mario stuff.

Something I (and at least another user in our discord server) am pondering though, is what to do the Photon/"Spaced-out Theater" segments. From my understanding, Photon was a pre-existing TV show that aired in the 80's that DiC cut ups and aired in Club Mario to pad out the episodes. As such, I question if it really makes sense to discuss those segments in details and have pages for their characters. There's a precedent: we don't have pages for the season 3 Captain N episodes that were paired with Super Mario World, we don't have articles on the shows that were aired as part of King Koop's Kool Kartoon and Donkey Kong Planet, etc.

On the other hand, the summaries don't make it clear how the segments were edited and inserted into the episodes, so I'm wondering if they were edited in a way more substantive than "Let's cut to this other TV show" or if the narrative was in any way altered from the original Photon episodes. I tried to look up Club Mario videos on youtube but didn't find the relevant bits. As the guy making these pages (and I assume, has seen the footage in its Club Mario context), what is your take? --Glowsquid (talk) 22:10, March 26, 2025 (EDT)

From what I know, Photon is in and of itself is an obscure television show as well, having never received a home media release due its copyrighted songs apparently being unable to be removed from the episodes according to its Wikipedia page. However, most segments have been archived on the Internet Archive, with the exception of "Not A Care In The World," which remains lost. Anyway, while the show is included with the Club Mario segments, similar to the examples you listed, the hosts are seen reacting to the show, implying some sort of connection to the segments. However, this is as far as a mention as it gets, and they react similarly to other clips of television shows and films while "satellite surfing," so it may be unnecessary to create articles for them. However, it appears to be given more emphasis than some of the other television show and film clips, as several clips from the show are used throughout Club Mario's run, as opposed to other television shows and films where it usually uses only one clip. However, we don't have pages for the other films and shows that were aired part of Club Mario as well.

As for if I could edit the plot synopsis to discussed how these segments were included to Club Mario, I'd probably trim down the descripton for the Photon previews, only mentioning the scenes featuring Princess Centauri as they are original to Club Mario; everything else, besides the replacement of the copyrighted songs with original music, is very much the same. (I know this because I watched some of the episodes from the original show as well.)

In my opinion, I'd probably would delete the pages focusing on individual characters and locations from Photon, as they are only related due them appearing in the clips, though I'd give a mention of the clips used in the segments; maybe I'll add a new parameter for the Photon preview featured in the episode, if there is one.

That seems a good way to handle it. --Glowsquid (talk) 08:34, March 27, 2025 (EDT)
