RE: Nominating a character article to be a FA

So back on March 6, I nominated a character article to be featured on this very wiki. But as of today, it has not gotten any single response aside from mine. What is up with that?  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  08:17, March 9, 2023 (EST)

It's really just a matter of whether people see that it has a nomination going or not. Nightwicked Bowser 09:48, March 9, 2023 (EST)

Mario Movie Gallery Question

Hi there, This user threatened to report me if I undo their edits. It stemmed from a misunderstanding over at the Mario Mover Gallery. It truly was not my intention to cause any trouble, I'm just doing my best to clarify the context of the art. Hope everything can be sorted out!

Help with Images

Hello, I should have been more specific. I don't know how to get the images from my Switch to my laptop. - User:Luigi 1837

Thank you! I didn't know about the function. - User:Luigi 1837

Hello, can you please help me? I'm trying to make the Minecraft Blocks and Items list into a gallery with all of the images, but I'm having trouble making it. How can I do it? - User:Luigi 1837

Thank you for the info! I'll firstly finish uploading all of the images I have and then I'll go though them and add the licensing and other info. Another thing, should I get images for the characters too? - User:Luigi 1837 P.S.- By any chance do you know how to change the background color of user pages, because I've been wanting to change my user pages background color, but don't know how to.

I believe there are images for the characters in Minecraft already, and as for your userpage color I'm not sure how to do that either. You should probably ask someone who has done that with their userpage. Nightwicked Bowser 12:27, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

That's good, because it would be a painful process of going through them and adding the licensing and categories, I'll ask about the coloring to someone else. I'm not sure if the character images are uploaded, because they've been asked for in the spotlight. Thanks for the help! -User:Luigi 1837 P.S. Is there by any chance a way to upload multiple images at once or is it only possible by doing one at a time?

Sorry, if I have broken a rule or something! I didn't realize I had broken a rule. I thought it would be easier to just upload the images first and then go through and add the categories. I'm still new to the wiki, so I'm really sorry for breaking a rule! I'm going to ask you now about the descriptions, do I have to fill them in also or can I just fill in the licensing and categories? I don't want to break another rule. -User:Luigi 1837

The descriptions should be filled in too (wasn't sure if there was a reminder template relating to that as well), and any parameters that you won't use can be removed. Nightwicked Bowser 14:39, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

And does the artist section have to be filled too or not, because I don't know who to wright in it. -User:Luigi 1837

If it's an in-game screenshot, then the parameter can be removed. Nightwicked Bowser 14:46, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry, can you please explain what did you mean with removing the parameter, and does it have to be removed? And sorry, but I still didn't understand what I need to wright in the parameter. -User:Luigi 1837

Can you please check if I've done the info and things on the images correctly, when you've got time, Thanks! I'll be uploading the last images tomorrow, then making the gallery. I'm really sorry again for breaking a rule by mistake! -User:Luigi 1837

The three edits I did on the images just now show what I mean. Nightwicked Bowser 16:30, March 15, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'll make the changes tomorrow. -User:Luigi 1837

My featured article nom.

It has already passed the 19:28 schedule, when the article would get feech'd. Can you please incorportate the fa status into the affected article? Thank you  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  19:37, March 30, 2023 (EDT)

You can put the featured template on the article the moment the nomination is over and passed. Nightwicked Bowser 20:08, March 30, 2023 (EDT)

It had to be said

Your own username makes this block infinitely funnier than what would have otherwise been bland immaturity. Along with the word "block" being there. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:40, April 4, 2023 (EDT)

Honestly I'm not sure whether to feel embarressed or amused by this, especially since the reason behind my username is actually explained on my userpage. Nightwicked Bowser 11:48, April 4, 2023 (EDT)

Props!

Props for the promotion, you definitely earned it through your hard work on this wiki!—Mister Wu (talk) 07:21, April 6, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you for the kind words. I'll be honest, there's something that happened outside the wiki which I'd rather not talk about here, and I'm not in a very good way right now. Really wish things were better, just might take it easy for a little while. Nightwicked Bowser 07:27, April 7, 2023 (EDT)

Question 4 Ya

What happened to Mario Wiki on April 1? Was it vandalized? ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345

Updating MarioWiki:References

Due to two proposals which passed last year, one of which was by you, MarioWiki:References needs to be updated. I left the suggestions in its talk page.--Platform (talk) 12:00, April 21, 2023 (EDT)

Question

Hey, I was just going to ignore this and I already message Waluigi Time about it, but this user is making backhanded comments about me and I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation. It started when they deleted a message off my talk page that I simply reverted as I want to respect that messages should not be removed from talk pages. I haven't been on much because of other commitments so I simply said on my user page I wasn't editing much. Now every time I made small edits such as in the gallery for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope , [[1]]they [[2]]are [[3]]using edit summaries to call me out on this, when I feel I have not done anything pernsonal to them except ask politely to not remove messages from my talk page. Thanks for your time.

Sdman213 (talk) 11:46, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

That kind of behaviour definitely isn't acceptable, staff is currently deciding how to handle it. Nightwicked Bowser 12:10, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you so much, have a nice day! Sdman213 (talk) 12:12, May 10, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Merge templates

As i'm not as active as i once was, nor do i check up on pages that regularly, i couldn't know about that proposal. Thanks for letting me know. -- FanOfYoshi 04:13, July 3, 2023 (EDT)

Does it also apply to removing something from a page, like the Piranha Plant king? -- FanOfYoshi 03:28, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Re:Move templates

I'm sorry, but some of these are either policy-driven or self-evident, and thus don't require much of any discussion to begin with, just routine second-guessing the information present in the articles. All it does is slow down or obfuscate sensible moves that would have been made a while ago by editors more familiar with those subjects. What happens if discussion stalls anyway? We just leave certain outstanding changes to obscurity? I don't really get it since the meta category templates were hidden for a reason, I presume. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:18, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

The proposal didn't account for any exceptions, so either there's a discussion somewhere or the template doesn't go on the page, simple as that. The template gets removed if said discussion is deemed inactive. If anyone more familiar with these subjects comes across these and wants to move them, then it would be up to them to bring it up in the talk page and put the template on the article. Nightwicked Bowser 13:34, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

I need a little more clarification. Are you saying it's necessary for every article that dropped those templates to have their discussions (re)opened? That's not what I'm seeing in the proposal. It's just about the use of the templates. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:47, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

Yes it is. Nightwicked Bowser 13:54, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

I'm going to ask the proposer about it, then, because I simply do not see that explanation in the proposal. If that was within the scope of the proposal and I was aware of it, I would have been vehemently against it, for the reasons I've outlined. I think it's just an extra hurdle for everyone with little gain. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:07, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

Actually, it probably wouldn't if you would just go ahead and move the page, but the template still shouldn't stay there without any action being taken. Nightwicked Bowser 14:28, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

A question about sandbox pages

In my sandbox page, is there a way to remove the redirect to my userpage (e.g. < User:Pizza Master) or otherwise make it invisible?-- Pizza Master 17:26, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

I don't think there is, every user subpage I've looked at has it. Nightwicked Bowser 18:39, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

K. Thank you for checking anyway.-- Pizza Master 21:44, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Vandal engagement

That wasn't necessarily aimed at them specifically, but moreso about the vandalism itself, but ok. -- FanOfYoshi 10:09, August 21, 2023 (EDT)

Re:Super Mario World 2 Italian names

Either it was LOOONG time ago (back when I took it more lightly), or I have no idea what you're talking about. The most recent mistake is maybe the Sluggy, which I just recalled badly was named "Peluria", but then I rechecked the game footage of SMA3 and Kamek was like "Let's see how you deal with this "Sguscio"." which I then fixed. Any examples of this, for references? Mariuigi Khed 08:46, August 26, 2023 (EDT)

I made some tiny digging: no, the few times I added Italian names for the enemies that appeared in SMW2YI, I did use the names from other games (YIDS, YNI, YWW and YCW) nothing invented. Might have been two tiny cases in the past (something like "well, we have Skeletro Gabby and Gabby senz'ali so of course the "Flightless Skeleton Goonie" must be "Skeletro Gabby senz'ali" even tho it isn't written anywhere else." [I tended to mix Wiki's and Wikia's less strict rules]), but those have been rolledback due to lack of official references. Nothing more to it. Mariuigi Khed 11:22, October 5, 2023 (EDT)

The Southern Portion of Toad Town Being Accessible After Bowser's Defeat

During "Paper Mario (2001)", would the southern portion of Toad Town be accessible following Bowser's defeat?--Carlitosbug (talk) 23:19, August 31, 2023 (EDT)

Paper Macho Soldiers

Are Paper Macho Soldiers a species? RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 06:00, September 30, 2023 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure a while back I removed "Paper Macho" from being a species in infoboxes, would be preferable to just list their species as what enemy they're based off. Nightwicked Bowser 06:41, September 30, 2023 (EDT)

How so? RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 10:11, September 30, 2023 (EDT)

"Paper Macho" isn't a species either, it's more of an enemy class in the game like how Folded Soldiers are what you fight in battles and Paper Macho enemies you fight in the field. Nightwicked Bowser 10:59, September 30, 2023 (EDT)

Edit question

Hello Swallow. Why did you revert my recent edits? Not angry, just curious. RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 14:57, October 22, 2023 (EDT)

I did leave an edit summary in the first one, that we should avoid overusing the category just because the place has lava in it. I don't really agree with what the category page itself says either, I'd rather it was used for actual volcano areas. Nightwicked Bowser 15:01, October 22, 2023 (EDT)

Fair enough, would advise you provide an explanation such as "Explained in my edit summary on X's page" to avoid any confusion. What should the category say? RosalinaFanboi777 (talk) 15:10, October 22, 2023 (EDT)

I'm thinking of having it as "Volcanoes throughout the Super Mario franchise". As this would change the scope of the category, it may require a proposal first. Nightwicked Bowser 15:16, October 22, 2023 (EDT)

Can you help me with this? Dwhitney (talk) 11:16, July 9, 2024 (EDT)

Renders

Hey there, I saw Yoshi and Blue Toad's infobox images updated with renders that hold a Red Shell. Is the policy correct in that the images should be just the character if possible? I know Nabbit's was updated for Wonder though he is holding a mushroom, I don't want to engage with reverting Yoshi's and Blue Toad's pages anymore to not cause an edit war, and thought bringing it up could help resolve this, thanks!

Sdman213 (talk) 21:37, October 23, 2023 (EDT)

I don't mind using the images of them holding the red shells for the same reason Doc von Schmeltwick said about Nabbit with the mushroom, that the red shell is an iconic item throughout the Mario franchise and doesn't really specialise the game in any way. The rule about items only really applies if said item is specifically for the game or series such as sports gear or the Mario + Rabbids weapons. Luigi's SMBW artwork however I think is a hard no since that shows him using the Parachute Cap ability which is exclusive to the game, and Luigi's hat is never that big. Nightwicked Bowser 05:26, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

Can my MarioBobfan2007'snewaccount account please finally be unbanned? I think it's time my account gets unblocked.

I think it's time for it to be unbanned. It has been way too long. 107.146.224.187 00:30, October 27, 2023 And my MarioBoards account needs to be unbanned. I also need to put loads of stuff and edit pages. 2099 is way far too long. It's also laughable that I got banned until that date, since that is waaaaaay too long. It's also time that I get unblocked, since I regret doing the stuff that got me banned. (EDT)

WarioWare Renders

Hey, quick question, some renders for the WarioWare characters (specifically Jimmy T, 18-Volt, Dribble & Spitz, and 13-Amp, had new renders for Move It! but got reverted. Do you think the renders are fine or should the renders from Get it Together stay there for now? I think the Move It renders are fine but would rather not edit war about them. Thanks! I also let Ray Trace know but thought it wouldn't hurt to spread the question around.

Sdman213 (talk) 10:21, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

I've never played any of the WarioWare games so I'm not too sure how to go about this one. I don't even know if these characters do have a consistant design. Nightwicked Bowser 10:37, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

I just remember Dr. Crygor having a different design every game and Mona wearing a different outfit every game, and their infoboxes were updated consistently per game. I don't see a reason not to use the new Move It renders with that knowledge. I thinks its an IP account that reverted but I'm not sure if a discussion should be made first. I do know that Jimmy T's render was used on the new website Nintendo of Japan made for the WarioWare series in general.

Sdman213 (talk) 10:42, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

Question

Hey there, [user] used rude an unnecessarily rude tone in the edit summary, I'm not trying to cause any trouble, I simply removed the information because there is not a direct confirmation that a character that looks like Mr. Sparkles in WarioWare reappears in Move It.

Sdman213 (talk) 18:56, November 7, 2023 (EST)

Sorry to say this, but I'd rather not get involved in a dispute concerning a game or series I barely know anything about (there's a list of games/series in my userpage I do concern myself with). I don't even really pay attention to what edits go on in that field. Nightwicked Bowser 19:06, November 7, 2023 (EST)

Alpha Kretin Discussion

Swallow, I was wondering, if Starlow fought Alpha Kretin alongside Mario instead of Luigi, how would Starlow dodge the energy balls and electricity? What do you think? 68.36.171.174 20:44, November 8, 2023 (EST)

Enemy Profile

Hello Swallow. Thank you for your tip about Italic text. I have a question. When I look at the enemies and bosses that appear in Mario RPG titles, there are enemy profiles that contain information like HP, Defense, Weaknesses etc. I was wondering, how do you make one of those? --Darksouless1 (talk) 11:01, November 20, 2023 (EST)

I'm no expert on the subject, but several Super Mario RPG enemy articles already do have a stat table for the remake which is taken directly from the game's monster list. You could just copy and paste the code from those tables and change what's in the table itself to fit the article you're putting it into. Nightwicked Bowser 11:23, November 20, 2023 (EST)

RE: RE: RPG lists question.

Ok, I can change the names right now, but the images will have to wait until I get around to play the remake. It will take time to get to it since I just completed Chapter 1 of PM64. --Mid188 (talk) 12:59, November 26, 2023 (EST)

That's fine, though I should mention that all Hidden Treasures are also exactly the same for both locations and items in the remake so that should also be one page for both versions. Nightwicked Bowser 13:58, November 26, 2023 (EST)

Ok, I will do Hidden too, when I get there. And regarding the Mushroom Ball remake images - Yeah, I can do that too.--Mid188 (talk) 14:06, November 26, 2023 (EST)

Hi, writing here to answer your message: I do not mind if you want to split the pages. Ask the staff if they allow it and do it if you want, I have more lists to do (Paper Jam one right now), so I do not have time. --Mid188 (talk) 00:56, April 7, 2024 (EDT)

EDIT: Sorry, I have not realized you were staff yourself, so disregard the asking part of the message. --Mid188 (talk) 01:03, April 7, 2024 (EDT)

So, I think I can do the splitting of the Dream Team Blocks page now, just one thing before I start: How do we name the two new pages? List of block in real/dream world in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team or something else? Afterwards, I can start work on the remakes. --Mid188 (talk) 16:47, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

Best I can think of is "List of real/dream world blocks in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team". Nightwicked Bowser 16:57, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

Ok, then. I'll get to work. --Mid188 (talk) 16:58, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

Something like this? (check my sandbox) --Mid188 (talk) 18:03, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

Looks good to me. Nightwicked Bowser 19:24, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

On the lookalikes proposal

We saw that proposal passed, and in the archive, it's marked as done; however, we did notice a few pages are currently present in the categories that we did mention in our tremendous breakdown. So um, here we be, to ask if it's fine if we cull the following:

• Every instance of a shapeshifter should be moved to the shapeshifter category if they aren't there already. (e.g. Shadoo, Belome, or Ditto)
• Every instance of a clone that can look(a)like anybody, not just one character, should be moved to clones (e.g. Bubble Clone or Imposter)
• Fighting Polygons
• Gold Mini Mario from Mario
• Luigi should be removed from Mario's category.
• Wario should be removed from Mario's category.
• Waluigi should be removed from Luigi's category.
• Bowser Suit from Bowser
• King Boo from Bowser
• Koopa Zombie from Bowser
• Wooden cutout from Bowser and Peach
• Princess Shroob from Peach
• Funky Kong from DK
• Super Kong from DK
• Swanky Kong from DK
• ...and we might literally give Eddie the Mean Old Yeti his own proposal sometime in the near future, because as we've mentioned, he drives us insane to think about.

Is it alright with you if we remove these from the lookalikes categories? ~Camwoodstock (talk) 12:41, December 28, 2023 (EST)

I think all of those should be ommited from the lookalikes categories (just pointing out Belome is not a shapeshifter but creates clones of the playable characters to fight alongside him). Nightwicked Bowser 12:50, December 28, 2023 (EST)

Oh, our bad! Admittedly, we're not too familiar with Belome's fight, so those just kinda melded in our brain with the 2,763 other redirects for bosses that are proper shapeshifters (cough cough Shadoo). we also blame the between christmas-and-new years brainfog. While we're here though, we should also probably ask about Cursed Mini Mario, seeing as we forgot to bring him up initially and figure he's probably safe to remove if Gold Mini Mario also got the boot; after all, what makes him "Cursed" is the monkey robot, which um. Is not resembling Mario by any means. ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 14:12, December 28, 2023 (EST)

I removed Cursed Mini Mario from the category for you. You can thank me later. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:49, December 31, 2023 (EST)

That one was from a game I know nothing about. Nightwicked Bowser 13:12, December 31, 2023 (EST)

Heads up: Administrator Mario added Luigi back to Category:Mario lookalikes with the reason that "[he] probably qualifies". Though I haven't mentioned it before, I agree with Camwoodstock that Luigi should be left out of that category. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 00:05, January 3, 2024 (EST)

Hi, I unknowingly added a few of these back to their categories, not realizing there was a proposal about this. Sorry about that. The discussion pages for the various lookalike categories were mostly empty and I only realized I had rolled back on previous users' edits when two of mine were tagged as manual reverts. I'm not very familiar with how proposals are done here so it took me a while to find this page. I'm also completely new to using talk pages, so you'll have to bear with me here.

Can someone direct me to the breakdown where all of this is explained? I think it would be good if the category pages themselves made it clear what exactly qualifies as a "lookalike". I don't really see the issue with a clone also being considered a lookalike, or with characters like Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, or the Koopa Zombies being included, as the categories are quite small and don't seem likely to become overly cluttered to me. Also, to what extent can inanimate objects be considered lookalikes? Category:Bowser lookalikes contains several statues, including ones that don't move at all, so should the Papercraft versions of characters from Paper Jam count as well?

Category:Bowser lookalikes also includes False Bowser from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so should the other Shadow Bug versions of characters from that game (Mario, Luigi, and Peach) also count?

It should also be noted that Shadoo isn't a shapeshifter, but an unseen character who creates clones for the player to fight. Don't know if they should be in Category:Clones or if each of their page redirects (Dark Mario, Dark Peach, etc.) should be added to the category instead. TyGuy24 (talk) 01:27, February 6, 2024 (EST)

This is the proposal in question. Nightwicked Bowser 05:48, February 6, 2024 (EST)

The proposal called for shapeshifters to be exempt and also to exclude Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. I'm not familiar with Super Smash Bros. Brawl at all but it does look like the False characters could qualify, along with the papercrafts. I may also need to give some thought to Shadoo's clones. Nightwicked Bowser 06:03, February 6, 2024 (EST)

Okay, thanks, I think that proposal cleared some stuff up for me. I went ahead and added the Papercrafts, as well as False Peach from Brawl. Both her and False Bowser appear in cutscenes and play a role in the story of Subspace Emissary to some extent. The rest of the False Characters (including False Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong) are fought near the end of the game, are only seen in gameplay, and look different from the False Characters that appear in earlier cutscenes. These False Characters are instances of clones that can look like (almost) anybody in the game, so I didn't add them to Mario's, Luigi's, or Donkey Kong's lookalike categories.

Although Shadoo's clones can be considered an instance of "clones that can look like anybody", I'm not sure they should be removed from the lookalike categories. There's only four playable characters in the game, and the Cosmic Clones as well as Cosmic Mario/Luigi are both considered to be lookalikes, despite copying both playable characters.

Bowser Jr. resembles Baby Bowser more than Koopa Kid does, so I think he should remain in Category:Bowser lookalikes.

I'm considering editing the category pages to specify that "lookalikes" have to be intentionally and heavily designed after the characters which they resemble, and should include "doppelgangers" and "copies" of characters. Does that sound right to you?

Also, something interesting to consider are Mario Bros-esque characters like Cork and Cask, the Starshade Bros., the Hammerhead Bros., and the Massif Bros. Although they don't really fit into Category:Mario lookalikes or Category:Luigi lookalikes individually (Cork, Sledge, General Starshade, and Big Massif don't look much like Mario on their own, while Cask, Mallet, Sergeant Starshade, and Lil' Massif also don't look much like Luigi), as pairs they are definitely still meant to resemble the Mario Bros. Maybe they have a place in the general lookalikes category? TyGuy24 (talk) 02:02, February 8, 2024 (EST)

Category:Thieves cleanup

There's been a lot of impetus to clean up categories lately, hasn't there? One I think could use a look at is Category:Thieves. Right now, it's not in the greatest state. It's an odd mix of occupational thieves and villians who steal as part of their greater evil plans. Not to mention we have all seven Koopalings and the general Koopalings page in there — why not just include Category:Koopalings as a subcategory? There was brief talk of cleanup from late 2017 through early 2018, though no action was made on it. I agree with Doc von Schmeltwick's suggestion of trimming the definition to just chronic and/or occupational thieves, though. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 12:26, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Saw Antasma there almost immediately and yeah, this may need sorting out too. Best idea would be characters who commonly act as thieves like Croco, Popple and Ms Mowz, though I'm not sure how we are going to go about this. Nightwicked Bowser 16:43, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Again, that's the definition I'm vouching for, but we'll need more feedback before we launch a proposal. I'll let Camwoodstock and Doc von Schmeltwick know. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 17:05, January 8, 2024 (EST)

We can give it a quick look! But uh, should we put our feedback in the category's talkpage? That way this can hopefully be outside of a random user's talkpage for ease of finding it. ;P ~Camwoodstock (talk) 19:14, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem. We're working with just one category and not five, after all. It'd make it easier for us to transition into a proposal, too. By the way, Doc von Schmeltwick remains on board with trimming the category's definition. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 19:21, January 8, 2024 (EST)

Camwoodstock's looooong dissection has been posted to the category talk page. Now it's time to move discussion over there. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 20:54, January 8, 2024 (EST)

I hate to repeat myself, but I'm waiting for your response to Camwoodstock's dissection on Category:Thieves. Here's the talk page. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:34, January 11, 2024 (EST)

I haven't been paying attention to the discussion. Nightwicked Bowser 14:41, January 11, 2024 (EST)

Elemental category stuff

Hey, I noticed you implementing that SMRPG category proposal, and that makes sense, but I feel like some of these removals feel a bit overcorrect-ish. I mean, the original elemental category proposal had an exception for stuff like Bowser being associated with fire due to his fire breath, but then you have Muckle, which only attacks with ice, is resistant to ice, and drops an ice-related item, and it was removed from Category:Ice creatures. Same with Bahamutt being removed from Category:Fire creatures. I'm not sure how to end this comment, sorry, I guess, would it be okay to re-add those? Blinker (talk) 14:28, January 15, 2024 (EST)

I didn't want to have anything that could be arbitrary about this (e.g if enemies had resistances or used a lot of those types of attacks), so I'd still rather have the categories ommited from those for the sake of caution. I left fire creatures on Czar Dragon since it is made of Lava Babbles. Nightwicked Bowser 14:53, January 15, 2024 (EST)

What do you mean discussion is forum talk then?NEMRISE1294 (talk) 23:14, February 24, 2024 (EST)

You were told already that talk pages are only for discussing article changes and your last comment confirmed that it was just casual talk about the subject, which is removed on sight. Nightwicked Bowser 05:28, February 25, 2024 (EST)

Photos of the 3-4 errors from the Prima Guide

On the Fandom Mario Wiki, I found pictures showing the exit flag color error for World 3-4 in the Prima Guide. Here is the reference: [4] 24.127.7.223 19:47, February 25, 2024 (EST)

World 3-4 of which game? Nightwicked Bowser 20:40, February 25, 2024 (EST)

The New Super Mario Bros. Wii game.24.127.7.223 20:43, February 25, 2024 (EST)

Did you see my request? It is World 3-4 from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. This fandom wiki gave you the photos you need to show the flag color errors from the Prima Games guide. 24.127.7.223 17:51, February 29, 2024 (EST)

Are you asking me to upload the images? Nightwicked Bowser 17:59, February 29, 2024 (EST)

Yes, yes I am. Please. 24.127.7.223 18:32, February 29, 2024 (EST)

Nice new name!

I really like the new username you've assumed there! Hell, it even matches your signature perfectly! -- FanOfYoshi 11:11, February 29, 2024 (EST)

Thank you for the nice words, I had wanted to change my name for a little while after a few occasions my name was taken out of context but just couldn't decide on another one until playing Yohane the Parhelion: Numazu in the Mirage and thought Nightwicked was a cool name. For my signature, I may replace Rindo with someone from Yohane, but will still keep Rindo and Fret in my userpage. Nightwicked Bowser 13:23, February 29, 2024 (EST)

Mama mia. Seems like a new Bowser Imma have to take care of. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:27, March 2, 2024 (EST)

New Soup redirects

I mean, since RelaxAlax started calling those games 'New Soup,' which was 6 or 7 years ago, a lot of people started calling those games that as well. So to me, it's not that farfetched to create those redirects. I'm sure a lot of people will use them, starting with myself. --Conradd (talk) 12:06, March 14, 2024 (EDT)

A few years ago there were redirects created for The Super Mario Bros, Super Show episodes with titles originating from the Wildbrain YouTube channel such as "Ahehehauhe", and many of those ended up getting deleted. We do not need redirects based on what some random YouTuber or internet personality calls them, I've certainly never heard of RelaxAlax nor seen anyone ever call New Super Mario Bros "New Soup". You should take a close look at MarioWiki:Redirects#Unnecessary redirects. Nightwicked Bowser 12:12, March 14, 2024 (EDT)

Fandom template proposal

Fandom's interwiki link has been fixed one or more years ago. Just as I researched, [[wikia:c:spongebob:Bikini Bottom|Bikini Bottom]] takes you here By the way, there's a proposal on decisions to add the language parameters and/or change back to the interwiki, and the deadline is tomorrow. Which option would you choose? GuntherBayBeee 14:17, March 22, 2024 (EDT)

I don't really care, so I'm not voting. Nightwicked Bowser 15:50, March 22, 2024 (EDT)

Thank you by all support!

Go check...

Proposal cleaned up

I cleaned up my proposal by adding the <pre> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks? GuntherBayBeee 21:18, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

First, I'm not interested in this one either. Second, per MarioWiki:Courtesy, do not go around other users' talk pages asking for votes in proposals. Nightwicked Bowser 21:33, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

Antasma

Can you please add that on the "Antasma" page, during his first fight at the start of the game, his bat attack doesn't damage Mario, as for both him and Mario, no damage numbers are displayed, and the first battle always ends after two turns. 68.36.158.225 17:30, April 10, 2024 (EDT)

I need a page deleted.

Hello! I uploaded a MP4 media file recently that I meant to use as a video clip. However, it was uploaded as an audio file and not a video file. I then converted it to a GIF and attempted to upload a new version of the file, only for the wiki to stop me with an error message. I would like for the file that I uploaded (and its corresponding page) to be deleted, as the file is useless now that I have it as a GIF. Once the file is deleted, I will upload my GIF file. Please delete the page as soon as possible. The page is File:PPS Transformation Cutscene.mp4. I already contacted Mario (talk) about this, but I have gotten no response. I am sending a nearly identical message to Mario jc (talk) because I want this done as soon as possible. Thank you so, so much! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 16:54, April 15, 2024 (EDT)

Thank you so much! This helped a lot! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 15:38, April 16, 2024 (EDT)

Shy Guy (i'm kinda worried)

Who was the IP doxing? Was it anyone related to the Wiki's userbase/staff community? You don't need to specify who it is specifically, just give an affirmative or negative response. -- FanOfYoshi 14:11, April 17, 2024 (EDT)

I have no idea who it was (don't even know if it was someone in the wiki community), the edit did contain a home address and an email. Nightwicked Bowser 14:27, April 17, 2024 (EDT)

Regardless, thank you for having hidden the revision. -- FanOfYoshi 14:35, April 17, 2024 (EDT)

Why did you delete my page?!NEMRISE1294 (talk) 14:35, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

Because it only had two sentences, no categories and no images. Articles that short are normally deleted on sight, and must be near-complete upon creation. Nightwicked Bowser 14:37, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

Re: Palace of Shadow Pipe

So in my experience, I lost to the Shadow Queen and when I went to retry from my previous save (which was just outside of the Palace of Shadow Depths), the pipe appeared there when I started the file up. It's located at the bottom of the staircase in the same part of the room where the Save Block is located and it leads to the entrance room, a short ways from the Thousand Year Door. And I can confirm it definitely did appear there before I defeated the Shadow Queen. I think it appears after the first time you fight the Shadow Queen, regardless of whether you win or lose the fight. Tails777 Talk to me!

Sentence fragments with periods

Hello Nightwicked Bowser, so I have noticed several pages in the Wiki with sentence fragments, which is fine, but several of them have periods at the end, these are unnecessary periods that need to be removed, such as describing images with extra details in the gallery section in pages, or describing images not in the gallery, the reason these need to be removed is because they are used in not full sentences, unlike long paragraphs.

Just a little heads-up...

The "That's it! I've had enough!" was not directed towards you, just towards the situation involving that user itself. -- FanOfYoshi 14:49, June 4, 2024 (EDT)

Per reply at the Staff Noticeboard, I put a notice that users aside from admins should not be involved in this at the time. VideoGamePhenomHD (talk) 14:53, June 4, 2024 (EDT)

I don't know. Nightwicked Bowser 20:19, June 8, 2024 (EDT)

LetsPlayNintendoITA and second-person writing

The user LetsPlayNintendoITA (talk) continues to use "you" in their edits even after you reminded them of it, as seen in this edit they made. I've already fixed it, by the way. ChillyBeanBAM (talk) 16:06, June 10, 2024 (EDT)

please keep in mind with the ammount of edits done it's hard to not slip up i'm sorry LetsPlayNintendoITA 17:07, June 10, 2024 (EDT)

Thank you for deleting this page I accidentally created. I thought I was on another Mario Wiki, until I looked. My apologies for any mishaps I may have caused. -DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 07:29, June 16, 2024 (EDT)

Snoutlet and "Pig" Category

Howdy! Maybe this warrants a wider discussion on the wiki, but my impression of the categories for real-like subjects, like animals, is that they are largely used for denotating primary design influences. So while Snoutlet is not a pig in a canonical sense, I think they should still be in the Pig category due to their name across all languages, that fact that Snoutlet feels inclined to specify that they are not a pig due to the apparent physical resemblance, and the fact that it appears to be based on a piggy bank (even with a coin slot-like indentation on its back) would indicate it its design deliberately derives from pigs as much as something like the Pig Head Statue, Piggy Bank, and Poink, which are appropriately in the Pig category. What do you think? - Nintendo101 (talk) 21:28, June 23, 2024 (EDT)

I thought the category was used for subjects that actually are of that species, so categorising Snoutlet as a pig despite saying they're not one seemed a bit contradictory. I think we should wait until it gets closer to release and we know a lot more about Snoutlet, 'cause for now that one line of dialogue is all we know. Nightwicked Bowser 03:32, June 24, 2024 (EDT)

Sounds good. Thanks! - Nintendo101 (talk) 09:00, June 24, 2024 (EDT)

I'm getting a bit uncomfortable by 5.82.57.96

Sparks had gone offline in the timespan between I started to write to him to when I posted it, so I hope it's okay that I ask you about help with this too: On User_talk:DandelionSprout#Korean_logo_and_DSi_menu_logo_for_WarioWare_Snapped, I'm feeling pretty "Uuuuuuuuh..." about A) the user (5.82.57.96) apparently thinks me and only me can handle adding images, and 2) they're kinda linking to de facto pirate sites (presuming MarioCube counts as a pirate site, which I think it does). So I feel like I need someone to step in to them as a 3rd commenter in that thread so that I don't stand alone in trying to talk with them. DandelionSprout (talk) 17:51, June 26, 2024 (EDT)

Editing comments

You once wrote to me on my user talk page that I should not edit the comments of other users. However, Mariuigi Khed was able to edit my comment (he removed the square brackets next to "Super Mario Sunshine" on the Big Boo talk page). Please do something to prevent this from happening again. Bwario 06:21, July 8, 2024 (EDT)

Super Paper Mario

Is there a non standard game over screen if you keep responding "Sign the contract" to Merlee (Mimi in disguise) enough times in Chapter 2-4? One YouTube comment thought there is. 68.36.158.225 11:48, July 9, 2024 (EDT)

No there isn't. Nightwicked Bowser 12:05, July 9, 2024 (EDT)

If you keep saying "Sign the contract", will you be stuck at this point instead of the game continuing? 68.36.158.225 12:07, July 9, 2024 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure it eventually gets to a point where both options are basically saying no and you move on regardless of what you pick, like after the first time you decline Dimentio's offer near the end of the game. Nightwicked Bowser 12:35, July 9, 2024 (EDT)

MarioWiki Appeals Page

Hi, I saw that both Mario jc and WaluigiMan10000 have stated their reasons as to why his last warning should be kept or removed, but it hasn't been archived yet. Would you like me to move it into the archive section, or should I let you or another staff member take care of it? Thank you. Mari0fan100 (talk) 12:34, July 13, 2024 (EDT)

I've brought it up in the staff's discord channel but no one has responded to it yet. I'd rather not remove it until someone else does respond. Nightwicked Bowser 12:43, July 13, 2024 (EDT)

Mario & Luigi series

Can you add that in the "Similarities" section that starting with the fourth game, rather than saying "Let's a Go" and "Okey-dokey", you will know how the battle started. For instance, if you jump on an enemy, a boot would be the transition. 68.36.158.225 17:40, July 13, 2024 (EDT)

Can you delete this picture?

I want this file to be deleted because I found an image I like better for the wiki.

Thanks! Laura :) 16:14, July 22, 2024 (EDT) Sunny12345

Can you not upload a new version over this one? Nightwicked Bowser 16:26, July 22, 2024 (EDT)

I just did but the new photo on the Nintendo DSi page is still not showing. ˜˜˜˜Sunny12345

It just takes a little while to update, if you keep refreshing the page it should eventually show. Nightwicked Bowser 16:43, July 22, 2024 (EDT)

Remember you can force your browser to refresh cache with ctrl+f5 or ctrl+r to see the updated image. may have to do 2-3 times. LetsPlayNintendoITA 17:43, July 22, 2024 (EDT)

Question regarding Partners in Time

The Star Gate gave three options: go home for dinner of pasta puttanesca, continue without Luigi, or find the Aurora Block. Will the game let you chose the options? 68.36.158.225 15:44, July 23, 2024 (EDT)

There's no option choosing prompt on that part, you just go straight into looking for the aurora block. Nightwicked Bowser 16:35, July 23, 2024 (EDT)

I tried option 1, which was giving up, by going back to Peach's castle of the present, but when I got to the castle, there was no pasta.68.36.158.225 18:13, July 23, 2024 (EDT)

Regarding Flurrie's page

Hi! Just got your message. Forgive me for not realizing this rule sooner. I've been chatting with Blinker regarding whether we should move the Flurrie page under its "Madame" title. Blinker told me that the text dump where several instance of Flurrie's name isn't preceded by the "Madame" title as with Bobbery's page too. So we thought that moving Bobbery's page without the "Admiral" title would be a wiser choice. But we're not sure about Lady Bow's page either. -User:Jude da Dude

Moving it would be consistant with Bobbery, though both don't use their titles in the party menu (pretty sure Bow in Paper Mario doesn't either). I think this should be a case where either both use their titles or neither do. Nightwicked Bowser 12:04, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

I looked at the Catch Card list in Super Paper Mario, it uses "Bow" but also uses "Madame Flurrie" and "Admiral Bobbery". Nightwicked Bowser 13:46, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

Comments

Should I remove comments when I have a very good reason to do so? Austin819 (talk) 21:59, July 29, 2024 (EDT)

No, talk page comments are a permenant record. Nightwicked Bowser 05:18, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

yeah unless there're bad slurs, vandalism, or really bad things that should not be present in a fandom or any site's page, talk is for discussion of stuff, as long as it's civil it makes sense to keep them imo too. LetsPlayNintendoITA 05:42, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

Overhaul of item lists.

So, as you know I have been adding Block pages onto the wiki. Not too long ago, I finished with adding remake stuff from PMTTYD. Now I decided to overhaul ALL item pages (regarding the RPGs only) and already done the parts concerning descriptions, Statistics and See also sections. Now I want to do the Location sections themselves. My idea is to change the table to look the same as on the pages for The Origami King. I have already done three pages on my sandbox, so could you check it out? Afterwards, tell me if you prefer the originals (what is on pages now) or what I have done (on sandbox).

Also regarding some pages (mostly hidden stuff like Hidden Treasure or Hidden Blocks), should I also do it in the sections (same as the two other pages on the sandbox) or keep it as it is and just change the table?

Thanks in advance.--Mid188 (talk) 05:53, August 3, 2024 (EDT)

I think the designs in your sandboxes would make navigation in mobile view a bit easier. The hidden treasure tables probably can be kept as they are since there aren't as many of those. Nightwicked Bowser 16:06, August 3, 2024 (EDT)

Incomplete bestiaries?

Hi, thank you for correcting my edit on the ice element. I was using this wiki's bestiary for Color Splash as a reference, and if you are indeed correct then it means that there are some missing info on the page. Partners in Time feels a bit lacking too compared to how in-depth the one for Superstar Saga is. Just wanted to let you know, I don't have access to either game at the moment and can't directly test that myself, so I have to rely on second hand information and YouTube videos. Thanks again for this great wiki. 93.23.12.108 13:53, August 9, 2024 (EDT)
