Hide an edit?

One innapropriate edit was made on the Vibe Scepter article earlier, can you hide it? --APA TKB 10:06, 30 October 2013 (EDT)

Ok --Steve (talk)

Sorry for the wait...

Hey man. Just noticed the change! It's a great way tho celebrate Luigi! Anyways, about my new icon, I wanna pitch it to you by December 23rd. That way, if you DO like it, we could use it for 2014. I really like it, and I think you'll like it too! However, I've run into a problem. I can't create the logo. Got any suggestions? Stickers4U (talk)

I have no suggestions. --Steve (talk)

Sinking Feeling

I noticed you moved Sinking Feeling to Sinking Feeling (microgame), but there is another microgame with the same name in WarioWare: Touched!. Are you fine with me moving the Sinking Feeling (microgame) to Sinking Feeling (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!), as that is the other game it appeared in? Yoshi876 (talk)

My mistake; I moved it back. --Steve (talk)

Hide another edit?

An inappropriate comment was made on an edit on the Super Mario 3D World article, can you hide it?

--NJE 14:00, 19 November 2013 (EST)Nickicksbutt7

Hmm ok --Steve (talk)

Two questions

Um... What was that again...I'll come up with it.
A user named Wajoshi joined not too long ago and I feel it might be impersonation. Do you know? Me, GK Inc.!(talk! · edits!) I feel stupid for not remembering that question...

How

do you become an admin? I am currently not an admin and I would like to know. Please leave the answer on my talk page. Sincerely, UnshyTemplate:Color-link-piped

here

3DS

I friend requested you on my 3DS. Think u could answer? YoshiAwsumness (talk) 18:59, 3 December 2013 (EST)

Wouldn't I need to add your number? --Steve (talk)

20:58, 3 December 2013 (EST)

Precisely. You'll find it on my userpage. YoshiAwsumness (talk) 21:13, 3 December 2013 (EST)

Vandalism

Hey there Steve, It seems that the Mario Wiki has been a target of major vandalism lately... may I propose you promote more users to Administator/Sysop status? At times when I've been online, there's not been a single admin online. Also, may I suggest an account be created in order to edit wiki pages? Most vandals aren't logged in. Thanks —★レシイラム^talk 19:32, 4 December 2013 (EST)

Bureaucrats can promote people if they want. I'd rather have an IP vandalize since they have to answer the captcha on every edit, which slows them down a little bit. --Steve (talk)

00:13, 5 December 2013 (EST)

Question

You know Wiki staff: Proprietor, Bureaucrats, Administrators, Patrollers on the recent changes how did you get that to appear on there? --dude 18:52, 21 December 2013 (EST)

The usual MediaWiki:Recentchangestext. --Steve (talk)

18:54, 21 December 2013 (EST)

Ok how did you get the colours for the userights? --dude 18:56, 21 December 2013 (EST)

Corresponding MediaWiki:Common.css. --Steve (talk)

18:58, 21 December 2013 (EST)

Online ID ideas

I see you play on PlayStation Network as well. I just got a PS3 yesterday, and I've been a viewer of this wiki for quite some time. I think your name is pretty cool and unique, but me? Well, I'm not to good with usernames, so, I was wondering if maybe you could give me some ideas of what I should use as my Online ID for PSN maybe? Thanks. 67.237.177.47 17:23, 26 December 2013 (EST)

I'm thinking Dripdash. --Steve (talk)

17:44, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Lol I'm guessing you took a stroll down memory lane, huh? Still, I need a name I can use while playing games like Battlefield 4, not Minecraft. Just one different name, and I'll leave. Come on, Porple. 67.237.177.47 17:51, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Extension

What extension did you use to install Auto Refresh? --dude 16:50, 31 December 2013 (EST)

It's not an extension but rather a script in MediaWiki:Common.js. --Steve (talk)

16:54, 31 December 2013 (EST)

Just a heads up

You forgot to change the "supermariowiki" background back to normal. ;)--U M 3 000

Thanks I never read that thing. Congrats on first edit of the new year (server is on east coast). --Steve (talk)

02:20, 1 January 2014 (EST)

Oh wow, I got so caught up in editing I didn't even realize! '^_^. P.S. Yay for New Jersey!--U M 3 000

Two new spam users

Names are AudreyRoberge and TrevorStonehous, check the user creation log and their talk pages. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 23:11, 2 January 2014 (EST)

This has been taken care of.

Shokora (talk · edits) 23:25, 2 January 2014 (EST)

Right, thank you. A potential third one may have just been created, I'd suggest keeping an eye on it. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 23:27, 2 January 2014 (EST)

Vandal

some Steven guy is vandalizing! The Chain Chomp (talk) 20:47, 5 January 2014 (EST)

Re: Vandal

This is their IP before they went and created an account, it should be blocked as well. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 16:10, 11 January 2014 (EST)

Marshall Dan Poop

Porplemontage, would you find that Marshall Dan Poop IP Address and block it so that he can't create anymore accounts on this wiki to vandalized it? -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 08:55, 20 January 2014 (EST)

There this one user named LumaMaster who keep speculating about Mario Party 11, can you block him/her? -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 19:00, 28 January 2014 (EST)

Block this revision's edit summary and protect my userpage to autoconfirmed will you? -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 15:01, 6 February 2014 (EST)

Block the revision to Zess Special, Marshall Dan Poop even said it in the summary

Walkazo already did it, Chain Chomp. -_- -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 23:43, 30 January 2014 (EST)

Please clean the delete category. There are too many pages/images that are tagged with it. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 16:02, 13 February 2014 (EST)

This is my 3rd time asking.......

Why are some people who are usually online not?? File:Tvtrashsig.png (aka TVTrash)

PLEASE

Block The Chain Chomp because it is one of Marshall Dan Poop's socks, which would be me! I can't edit from that because the admins think I'm a normal user but I want you to block me and delete the user page of the Ztar Power account, another one of my sockpuppets!

Hello.

I have made a proposal on the Forum. Most people (if not all) agree with it. It is about adding "likes" (originally "dislikes", too, but people said there would be some spamming, so...) If it is within your power to, can you put this into existence? For more details, look @ Suggestions for Improvement (like you don't know that, LOL)

Hi! I'm Electrical Bowser jr.!

I don't like to install mods (or extensions on the wiki) unless they really provide something useful to the site. Especially with SMF, this keeps the installation less-complex and helps to prevent problems like mods going out-of-date or being abandoned, or having to upgrade around the mods. The status quo is heavily favored, and the more complex a mod is the harder it is to get approved (but some things do get through, like the mobile site). Now, if you're going to propose a new feature, you really have to propose the actual mod you're talking about. So let's talk about the one mentioned here. Even though I don't think a Like system is really necessary, I wanted to try it out to see if it's worth considering. I wasn't really impressed, and combine that with what I just said, it's a no-go. The mod is patching-in quite a bit of new functionality, and it felt sloppy to me. Here's an example: If you double-click the Like button, it shows that two people have liked the post (you and 1 other) and shows your name twice (pic). Stuff like that degrades the quality of the site. I could try to fix all the issues I have, but I wasn't crazy about the idea of installing the mod to begin with, so my desire to install it and fix it is even lower. If something like this is built-in to SMF 3.0 (or whatever) then I wouldn't mind trying it out, but adding a Like system through a mod doesn't seem worth it to me. --Steve (talk)

Pinkie and Random

because of -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) and ~~ Boo4761 I now have 4 talk archives. Can you stop them from spamming? R O Y 19:20, 9 February 2014 (EST)

Mind you?

Would you mind applying (if possible) the Nearest Neighbor to the images if zoomed? so the File:Super Mario Land Mario.PNG for example when zoomed become more clearer?--

08:26, 14 February 2014 (EST)

It's already applied. --Steve (talk)

20:22, 26 February 2014 (EST)

[1]. I can see it currently using the Bilinear filtering. It would be more clearer if it used the Nearest-neighbor.--

08:29, 2 March 2014 (EST)

We have a ton of CSS for it here. Not all browsers support it. --Steve (talk)

08:48, 2 March 2014 (EST)

Oh, it DOES work on Mozilla.. Must be an issue with Chrome.--

07:37, 5 March 2014 (EST)

Major moves

So, are you going to use a bot to update all redirects, or should we do it manually?--

11:53, 26 February 2014 (EST)

It's going to have to be done manually. At least the double-redirects were fixed by bot. --Steve (talk)

20:22, 26 February 2014 (EST)

Ok MDP is getting annoying

Block MDP main account that was banned for a year to forever User:TrickyMario7654

Cool photo

Cool Photo huh? User:TrickyMario7654

Hi

When I was moving some back I forgot to change the destination and so some (two I believe) remain in the template namespace, can you please delete the redirect and move them back to their proper place. I believe the two are Bonfire Block and Macho Grubba. Yoshi876 (talk)

OK, thanks for cleaning up. --Steve (talk)

06:17, 2 March 2014 (EST)

User:TrickyMario7654

Could you?

I am Gonzales Kart Inc., but I changed my password for the annual password change, and then I forgot it. So could you please block the old account? Thanks. CoolYoshi27 (talk)

Did you provide an email address? He could reset your password and you could salvage the old account. Epic Rosalina 08:24, 7 March 2014 (EST)

I think so, but I forgot the password for that too. CoolYoshi27 (talk)

New design

Any plans for a new design? TurkeyRocks (talk) 20:48, 8 March 2014 (EST)

Hello!

Hello Porplemontage. I was wondering if I could become an admin here anytime soon, because I could design the main page. I'm great with polls, and featured articles.

Thank you for your time! -

Adminship Question

Hello. I had a quick question about adminship. If I wanted to become an admin, how many edits would I need in all?

DaisyLuigi, becoming an admin doesn't involve doing millions of edits. What's needed is hard work, dedication and helpful contributions. Masking edits is supposed to be main idea of the wiki, not being promoted. When people think you're good enough, they'll make you an admin. Although I think everyone wants to be an admin, which is probably why this system works like this. -
