Proposal
...THANK YOU! (Also, i had a dream of going To College)
Hi there
I'm planning on changing my username. But the name I want is taken be some users who haven't been active for years. Can you do something?--Triple K, Skye 16:10, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
- I'd rather not: the rule reads that names only get transferred "provided you have a good reason for wanting the name (i.e. it's your established nickname on the forums)", which doesn't seem to be the case here, and it's not like the old accounts were trolls or accounts that never edited, so I would prefer to leave them alone. - Walkazo 16:20, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
Thanks for blocking the IP
Thanks for blocking this IP address 96.2.42.160, I did message Turboo about it on his talk page. Pwwnd123 (talk)
- Just doin' mah job. - Walkazo 22:16, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
Out of Master Hand
Hi, can you do something about User:PrincessJojora? That user is putting false comments with other users sigs, as seen here in the latest comment. Could you please do something? - 22:05, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
- She's already been given a Reminder for it; I would've given her a Warning but ah well, too late now: one more misstep and then she'll get a Warning. - Walkazo 22:22, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
- Hey, if she(?) learns and does something productive, it'll be a win both ways. By the way, is it only you guys who can issue warnings? - 22:38, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
- Well, I'm guessing it's a she based on the "princess" part, but I could be wrong (most people guess wrong about my name, lol). Anyway, nope, anyone can issue warnings: if you want, check out MarioWiki:Warning Policy for more information about the procedure and what sort of behaviours warrant warnings and such. - Walkazo 22:41, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
Shadow Swingstress
Does that page even need to exist? I mean, it's about a generic person with no affliction or role in th game whatsoever. I've almost beat the game, and I haven't seen them once. Can someone just delete it or should I make a TPP? - 01:39, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
- If an NPC's named, it gets a page regardless of how minor it is: see MarioWiki:Minor NPCs. The more articles the merrier, an the more complete our coverage is, the better. - Walkazo 02:05, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
PrincessJoroa or whatever that users name is.
Should she be blocked yet? She's made made a sockpuppet account, made minor vandalism, pretended to be another user, uploaded useless images and created a fan made page. - 01:16, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
- There's no reason to be rude with a header like that: it's not a hard name to remember, even if the user does make 99% useless edits. The other account claims to be sibling, not a sock; what minor vandalism are you talking about? Anyway, I've blocked PrincessJojora's userpage since asking her to ease off doesn't work, and have issues a last warning in general since she really is running out of leniency. - Walkazo 01:34, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
- I wasn't trying to be rude or forceful, I simply have trouble remembering her username. Mainly the "Jorjoa" part. But I was sort of wondering how much slack a user can be given. I understand the sibling part, that sounds reasonable. - 02:04, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
- If they're not doing damage, just wasting time and space, then they'll get more slack than if they were messing around with mainspace or harassing people to the point of disruption. But it's not an exact science at all; a lot of it's played by ear, and it can even depend on who gets there first, tbh. I.e. maybe I'd give someone a Warning for doing stupid stuff, but if someone else gives them a Reminder before I get there, then I can't do anything and they get off easy (or the other way around, with someone else giving a stronger warning than I would've). There's flexibility, which is good when it comes to managing big, diverse communities like this: there's guidelines and whatnot, but ultimately, there's still the allowance to do things case-by-case, which is a necessity sometimes. - Walkazo 11:52, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

Block the IP
Since you blocked Lhs970317, can you also block his IP address too ( 50.117.34.115), who also makes spam edits? Ray Trace(T|C) 22:13, 7 August 2014 (EDT)
- If he tried to edit anonymously from the same IP he was using for his account, it'll get autoblocked. They don't show up in the regular blocks logs, just Special:BlockList. The autoblocks are only 24 hours each, but will happen each time the user tried to edit with that IP, afaik, so it works just as well as manually blocking the IP. - Walkazo 22:51, 7 August 2014 (EDT)
NSMBU is a Mario Baseball game?!
- Removed by the administrator.
Please stop putting false information on the Toad page. I read through edits to see who did that. I don't know if I should put this here, I know little, I will try reading rules, please ask Steve if I don't get it. I don't know, this is not a joke reminder, I saw the history because the edit before this one didn't have NSMBU in the Mario Baseball series section, but the one you did had it in there. I am not sure for the last time. I am not doing it as vandalism or trolling. It is false, and I have NSMBU but no MB games. There is no baseball in NSMBU. Again, this is not vandalism/trolling. I go on Poptropica so if I am blocked I can be on Poptropica for that block? Reply on User talk:Unshy Guy. File:Big Face.png Unshy Guy 20:46, 18 August 2014 (EDT)
- P. S.: Can I still be on Poptropica.
- Lolwut, you can't give me a Reminder. Even ignoring the fact that I'm an admin, that was just an honest, one-time, two-month-old mistake and doesn't deserve an official warning at all. I was practically reorganizing the entire History portion of that page: there were sections being rewritten and flying around everywhere, and it's not unsurprising that one got misplaced. I don't even know what the hell Poptropica is: do whatever you want there, just don't go throwing wildly inappropriate warnings around here. - Walkazo 22:47, 18 August 2014 (EDT)
Also, again, I will fix (not remove the edit by undoing it) the Toad page by putting NSMBU in the correct place. File:Big Face.png Unshy Guy
Rumors
I didn't copy and paste... I had the revision history right to the edit window. Oh, I wrongly clicked ENTER when writing a description, so most of what I writed was poofed. Hope you will have unsterstand it, I have tried to make it as much different I can. TSUNAMI
user name
I know you are one of the ppl who change usernames and I requested a change on friday so why as noeone approved or rejected it? Green 6017 King Of The Slowpoke 23:11, 20 September 2014 (EDT)
- I'll step in and say that be patient, the admins check that page and they'll decide at some point Ray Trace(T|C) 23:13, 20 September 2014 (EDT)
- Yeah, sorry, I try to check it daily but it got buried under a bunch of other stuff in my Watchlist and I missed it. It's done now. - Walkazo 13:03, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
Mario Fanon
Please make a Mario Fanon Wiki on the NIWA. There is a Pikmin fanon, time for Mario! Trainiax (talk) I want my name changed! Help out! 19:53, 2 October 2014 (EDT)
- Our wiki's not really aiming to make any new fanon ones: if a Mario fanon wiki's made, it'd have to start out life on its own separate from us and then try to join NIWA. It's a fun idea, so maybe somebody someday will do just that! - Walkazo 20:01, 2 October 2014 (EDT)
RE:Undoing edits
Thanks! Never used that but next time a vandal does something like I'll do it! :) ~~ Boo4761
Another thing about naming...
"The newest name will have priority over older names when mentioned in articles," as MarioWiki:Naming says, but currently there's nothing about how Virtual Console is factored into this. Not that Virtual Console makes handheld enhanced ports as well as other remakes and such obselete, but it generally being Nintendo's preferred method of re-release for a while does end up making certain game versions obsure over time. As an example, since Super Mario Advance 4, Super Mario Bros. 3 has been released on Wii, 3DS & Wii U Virtual Consoles, whereas Super Mario Advance 3 has been favored for Virtual Console over Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. So in cases like that, since they are the most widely accessible re-releases for modern systems, maybe they should be considered for the naming update (ie. Goal Roulette, Ultimate Castle Challenge, Dark Land, ect.)? LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:47, 14 October 2014 (EDT)
- I thought I should give you an update on the Mushroom World names! Earlier, I wrote that the Wii Virtual Console version had the "Land" names, but I wasn't certain if this had changed on the Wii U Virtual Console and I don't have my own copy to check. I stumbled on a Portuguese Wii U VC Let's Play that supported the "Land" names; however, I initially dismissed it because I wasn't sure it necessarily reflected the North American release (if I'm not mistaken, all PAL NES copies actually had the "Land" names). However, I later noticed something interesting on the game's Nintendo UK page: "Please note: Super Mario Bros. 3 on Wii U Virtual Console is the US version of the game." Given that, would you consider it sufficient evidence that the "Land" names are technically the current names? LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:13, 2 November 2014 (EST)
Question
When is my next name change allowed? ~~ Boo4761
- The one you just got was your first, right? That means you can get another one whenever you want. But after that, you have to wait until at least the one year anniversary of your first rename to get a third one. - Walkazo 17:12, 16 October 2014 (EDT)
- Oh okay, never knew that. ~~ Boo4761
- It's the first bullet point in the box at the top of MarioWiki:Changing username... - Walkazo 17:18, 16 October 2014 (EDT)
- Oh okay, never knew that. ~~ Boo4761
I'm Kind of Scared
I want to correct grammar and maybe edit some things, but I'm scared. If I make a mistake, will I get banned? Or is that just for vandalism and being rude to other people? I just made this account, and I don't want to get banned. User:Madz the Penguin
- No, you won't get banned for making editing mistakes. As long as you don't vandalize articles or troll people, you should be fine, but when in doubt, there's lots of policy pages you can refer to regarding whether specific things are okay or not. And even if you do inadvertently break rules, you'll be contacted on your talk page about it and given either an informal heads-up or an official warning: you have to do something really bad to get a block right off the bat. - Walkazo 18:29, 29 October 2014 (EDT)
Thank you so much, Walkazo! I'll take baby steps, but I'll edit articles to make them better. However, the Prince Peasley page need some work, because the first sentence has a bad case of Captain Obvious ("Prince Peasley is a prince..."). User:Madz the Penguin
Is This Forbidden?
I've recently read this edit and I'm wondering if that is against the rules and if he should be in grounds to be banned (he's got a last warning for this kind of behavior in the past btw) Ray Trace(T|C) 15:45, 7 November 2014 (EST)
I made a mistake! Help!
Can you delete Category:Scientists? The proposal was to split Category:Doctors into two categories, and I accidentally did. Madz the Penguin (talk) 23:37, 12 November 2014 (EST)
- Done. - Walkazo 12:00, 13 November 2014 (EST)
Regarding a ban
Hey, This is the User known as Mecha-Boss Unit. I was wondering exactly what the ban was about. From what it seems, I seem to be banned because I was sockpuppeting as Boss Unit. I would like to say that I was never Boss Unit. I can assure you of this. I never even knew of Boss Unit until it was brought to my attention. It seems you think I have other sockpuppet accounts, but if you don't mind, I would like an explanation. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.3.137.140 (talk).
- The IP addresses you have been using match all the ones Boss Unit and "his" many sockpuppets used. Even all these years later, the addresses still match. It was you all along, and you should just consider yourself lucky that we didn't think to scrutinize your transparent impersonation story from the start. - Walkazo 18:18, 16 November 2014 (EST)
Subpage
Can I make a subpage about my Fleepsa characters, or will I get blocked? Just wondering...
If not I'll put it in my user page. Oh...my...GOD! Someone kidnapped {{{1}}}!
- Yeah, it's not allowed, and that subpage you have currently isn't allowed either, so if you could move the content to your userpage and mark that subpage for deletion asap, that's be great. - Walkazo 21:44, 17 November 2014 (EST)
Just a Little Question...
Do we help other Wikis around here? Because I was thinking about that Mario Wiki could help Le Miiverse Wiki not be biased or anything. You know, we could help change their guidelines a bit, because they say things like, "Admins are evil!" or, once in the Mariolover article, "...who complains about MK8 helmets ALL THE TIME!". They don't even consider it vandalism; when Mariolover tried to change it, they reverted the edit, and she got really angry. You guys might not even care, but that wiki has to learn from other wikis and stop honoring or hating things on their wiki. Should we help them or should we get out of their business? Madz the Penguin (talk) 12:44, 28 November 2014 (EST)
- It's not our place to go marching into other wikis and tell them how to conduct their business. Nothing's stopping them from looking at other wikis and copying things they like (we've taken inspiration from wikipedia and other wikis ourselves). If they want help, they can ask for it, but outside of NIWA, using our own time and energy to help other dabases isn't part of our mandate, and even for our associates, whatever's done for them is still purely voluntary by the individual users going out of their way to do the helping. - Walkazo 14:00, 28 November 2014 (EST)
?
Ok. I understand. Just one question. If I did get a new username, would I keep personal images, or would they become public images? King Dark Bowser
- You userpage gets moved to the new name, so unless you remove the PIs yourself, they stay yours. If you don't want the PIs anymore, however, it's better to mark them as abandoned or even put a delete template on them, rather than just taking them off your userpage. - Walkazo 15:49, 30 November 2014 (EST)
Maybe a range block or four would be a good idea.
Lets look at some recently blocked IP's.
- 50.117.34.207
- 50.117.41.22
- 50.117.41.224
- 50.117.34.77
- 50.117.34.243
This group of IP's all share the same beginning 50.117. and either 34. or 41. as the next number so they are very similar and that group needs a range block.
- 205.164.59.216
- 205.164.59.77
- 205.164.59.72
- 205.164.59.188
This group of IP's shares the same beginning too with 205.164.59. so they should also get a range block.
- 68.68.96.236
- 68.68.96.130
Also similar.
- 146.82.18.103
- 146.82.18.184
Also similar.
also this list is outdated since more ips with addresses similar to those on this list have came in since I originally made this list which was copy pasted from an old message I made on Toa95's talk page which Toa95 had ignored and the ip's had continued to spam the pages.
3D Player 2010 22:03, 5 December 2014 (EST)
- From the blocking policy: "range blocks should only be used when the disruptive behavior is frequent and severe enough to make other methods ineffective." Frequent? Yes. Severe? Not so much. They're just blanking and unblanking pages - it's not like they're posting profanities or whatever. And their IP range changes periodically, so a range block probably wouldn't even stop them for very long. Other admins might disagree, but I'm inclined to just wait it out, rather than risking too much collateral damage. They'll get bored before we do. Hell, I'd say don't even bother reverting the changes for them. - Walkazo 22:12, 5 December 2014 (EST)
Regarding Apple Juice
Apple Juice has made no edits to the wiki, even if I gave her a warning. She treats this website like Facebook. She's not inactive: I looked at her edits and she still goes on here. What should we do? Madz the Penguin (talk) 20:15, 8 December 2014 (EST)
- If she (if the user is a she? I didn't see anything saying she is...) keeps editing her userpage a lot with no mainspace edits, she can get a full Warning. However, she's only edited once since you gave her the Userspace Reminder, and that's not nearly enough to bother her again (you can't give people warnings for not editing period). I've seen userspace abuse FAR more flagrant than her, so I wouldn't sweat it. - Walkazo 01:23, 9 December 2014 (EST)
98.116.184.69
This IP has done nothing but altered accurate release dates to random ones. I've double-checked most of the release dates, every one of the alteration has been incorrect. I've messaged them but they doesn't seem to listen. Ray Trace(T|C) 20:28, 26 December 2014 (EST)
- Thanks for the heads-up. They're blocked now. - Walkazo 20:50, 26 December 2014 (EST)

Grinder/Ukiki
Hi Walkazo! Apologies for the delayed response, but if you think a full merge proposal for Grinder and Ukiki would work out, then I give you permission to eliminate the current rename proposal if it's not too late. Also, one more thing - not too long ago, I made my first archive for my own talk page. In hindsight, I established it prematurely since I kind of expected/hoped to give the page a clean slate for the new year, so would it be all right if I moved my newer discussions from the past weeks into Archive 1? I know that's probably a bit silly, but I figured I'd ask if that were possible. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:00, 5 January 2015 (EST)

Re:Proper nouns
Uh, I guess I paid more attention to the "title must be capitalized the same way they are from the source" more than the "unless it is a proper noun" part, which I've either forgotten about or glanced over. I think the level title style ought to be preserved (I actually ran into a bit of unexpected trouble with a few of them and was about to ask for assistance in fixing the remaining ones), but it does look like this rule would revert the names of the bosses themselves... LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:35, 29 January 2015 (EST)
- All right, so in accordance to the rules, I went ahead and made the changes to the boss names and some others. From what I understand (going by the Insect Repellent article as an example), this would mainly affect the title of the article, so I otherwise mostly left the pages alone. Some of the Talk Pages had issues with moving (Black jewel, Cave master, Giant bee and Giant spear man), but hopefully deleting the respective Black Jewel, Cave Master, Giant Bee and Giant Spear Man talk redirects should make it possible to correct that. That should be about it...
- Also, if you don't mind and you're okay with the Wario Land II level titles, could I ask you to move a few more of them for me? I got blacklist errors with a couple, which I guess would be the combination of lowercase and use of exclamation points, and I'm not sure how that should be handled. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:14, 30 January 2015 (EST)
Cool. In that case, the articles that should be renamed are as follows:
- Drop the anchor!!
- Through the thorny maze!!
- Up on the rooftop!!
- Storm the castle!! (disambig, Invade Wario Castle & Syrup Castle versions)
- Find the hidden door!!
- To the castle!!
- Go to the cellar!!
- Find the exit!!
- Defeat the cave master!!
- Steal the Syrup's treasure!!
I also gave the multiple "Defeat the giant spear man" and "Stop that train!" articles identifers based on their chapter titles, as I find them to be more helpful and less confusing than the numerical ones. One each has a "Go to the cellar" identifier, which should be changed to "Go to the cellar!!" If you can, please do the same for the "Storm the castle!! articles. That should be all of them... LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:58, 30 January 2015 (EST)
- Invade Wario Castle is accurate, and I agree this is bizarre, but so is Ruins at the Bottom of the sea (the game has a capital S for Syrup, so I don't know what happened there). The chapter titles aren't all uppercase, though, since there's also "Go to the cellar!!" (you can go ahead and change those last two article identifiers for "Defeat the giant spear man" and "Stop that train!" to match - I think I just needed a quick fix since I already began changing the other identifiers). I used a YouTube playthrough of the Game Boy Color version because I wasn't sure at first if the titles were adjusted from the original Game Boy release, but the text turned out to be identical. Outside of the remaining identifiers, that's it! LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:21, 30 January 2015 (EST)
- Now, this is entirely speculation on my end - but perhaps the minimal editing in the first place was really a consequence of the game getting released Internationally over half a year before the Japanese version/color conversion? As for stealing the Syrup's treasure - maybe it was meant to be "Steal the Syrups' treasure, meaning that it was a Syrup family treasure? That's the impression I got, but I could be wrong... LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:03, 30 January 2015 (EST)
- Upon closer inspection, I think the reason for "the Syrup's treasure" is this screen - in the Japanese version, it refers to the treasure as Syrup-tachi's (or "Syrup's group"). It looks like someone without the right story context simply confused the captain with the name of her gang, which isn't too uncommon a mistake. I'm not 100% sure how this got into the level name itself, but I did notice that the English version bolds the "Time Attack" part of the chapter scroll (clearly in place of the "Story" label), whereas the Japanese version puts it on the same line as the story title. That could be a mere localization change (either deliberately or accidentally), but it may be an indication that, given the release gap, the translated version was based on an earlier script that was slightly revised later. Though that's just using one small observation and shouldn't be taken as proof at all... LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2015 (EST)

Capitalize "Attack fx b"
Today I changed the article "Attack fx b" from a redirect to a disambiguation page, following the convention of most double badge names. If what I did wan't wrong, the article name should be corrected as "Attack FX B", too. But "move" doesn't work. Do you know how to do that? Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 02:22, 26 February 2015 (EST)
- You couldn't move the page because Attack FX B already existed as a disambig page (and only redirects can be overridden by users, iirc). So I just went ahead and manually changed Attack fx b to a redirect to the preexisting disambig page. - Walkazo 10:45, 26 February 2015 (EST)
- Ah, thanks. I didn't know there was already an "Attack FX B" page there. Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 21:22, 26 February 2015 (EST)

Doki Doki Panic Images
After it was decided to remove the character pages, the individual artwork was moved to the main Doki Doki Panic article. However, are they necessary additions? Every image is cropped from here, so it seems to be a bit redundant. This has a good look at the rare artwork from the original manual that would be more relevant to the gallery (and also shows that this is a crop as well).

About Snifit Police...
There's actually been a little digging in the comments, and while Mario Party 2 still has Snifits and not Snufits, it turns out that the name that the Virtual Console version uses is Snifit Patrol and not Snifit Police. So there's a small conundrum with the current proposal - is it fine the way it is (since I think the focus is more on the fact that they're Snifits), should it be revised due to the Patrol difference, or is it better to just skip the confusion, drop the proposal, and make the move via naming policy?

Japanese Names
Hello, Walkazo! As you've probably noticed, I've been busy creating and polishing articles on the Paper Mario badges, which includes copying foreign names from the List of badge names in other languages. Considering your comment on my talk page, I was hoping you could answer my question: to use the All or Nothing badge as an example, its Japanese name in Paper Mario is listed as "ichi ka bachī ka" (イチカバチーカ), while in TTYD, it's listed as "Ichikabachiika" (イチカバチーカ). I don't know much about Japanese, to be honest, but even though the characters in both names seem to be the same, the romanizations have different spacing. Is this just a different in opinion on romanizing the names, or is there a specific reason for it? Also, if you're not busy, would it be possible for you to insert some of the translations for the badges on their articles, considering my lack of knowledge and whatnot? Either way, I would appreciate any help you could give me! Hello, I'm Time Turner.
- Japanese doesn't have spaces between words, but when romanized, spaces should be added to amke it easier to read and process - but obviously you can't do that when you don't speak the language, hence so many romanizations are missing the spaces (and/or people don't know/care to do it right). The "ichikabachiika" example has the added problem of the elongated in vowel being romanized incorrectly by being doubled rather than using a macron, although it is correct in uppercasing the first letter. Not all websites use uppercase since, like the space thing, Japanese itself doesn't have cases, but we decided to use capitalization around here for proper names - discounting particles and honourifics, that is (MarioWiki:Japanese has more info). Anyway, I'd love to help with translations; unfortunately I'm really busy with RL stuff between now and the 7th, and my work computer (from which I do most editing binges these days, between customers) can't display Japanese characters, so it might be a while before I can get around to very much, but I'll definitely put it on my to-do list. But in the meantime, if you ever have specific questions, like about "ichi ka bachī ka"'s inconsistency, feel free to ask right away and I'll try to answer asap. - Walkazo 22:27, 29 April 2015 (EDT)

Regarding Italian Translations
Particularly these three - I quickly got in touch with Gabumon, and he basically said he'd be fine with removing the Italian translations since he replied he may not have been referring to an official source at the time. (Also, regarding dashes in translation boxes the other day - just to clarify, it's only used when there is direct katakana or otherwise close spelling, right? I don't think there's a formal rule in policy about it, so I think I might have misunderstood when it should be used this whole time...) LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:25, 19 May 2015 (EDT)
- Yeah, if he thinks he was using an unofficial port or whatever, and there's reasonable documentation that such fan-content existed while official translations did not, then sure, remove the names. As for the foreignname template, the dashes should only be used if the non-English name is identical to the English name, since then there's no point saying the same name twice. Otherwise, translations and/or explanations should always be provided (and if one can't be, leave it blank), and even close matches like kukkī should still have the "cookie" meaning included, just to be thorough. I'm not sure if it's written down anywhere, but I think/hope the majority of pages do that - although I am not surprised that others screw it up and set a bad precedent, seeing as non-English info is one of the wiki's weaker points. Related to both these matters, and also speaking in general, avoid removing factual information unless you have really good cause to (not including inarguably pointless Trivia, etc., of course). - Walkazo 20:10, 19 May 2015 (EDT)
- Agreed, although that's not something I do consciously, so my mistake for that instance... On the plus side, at least those articles got some needed maintenance. I do appreciate that you caught that before it got out of hand, though. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:16, 19 May 2015 (EDT)
also regarding this
Just so it's clear, I legimately lost track of time over my earlier activity - my train of thought was much more of a slightly panicky, "oh shoot, that ends today, doesn't it? Did we (Binarystep and I) ever get a satisfactory reply? No? ...Well, guess someone should sum things up in the eleven minutes or so with a potential post-Mario Maker attempt outlook in mind," and far less wanting to rub in the final word or whatever. So yeah, if I rethought my approach rather than furiously typing the initial thoughts that come to mind, I'd probably have rewritten parts of it to seem less malicious or confrontational than it may have seemed (maybe I should have just stick with the Mario Maker bit since that concerns the immediate future and no one's really talking about it [and, admittedly, my opinion can completely change by the time it's released], rather than going on about the pedantic fountain and name details that've already been discussed). So, with that, I'm sorry if it comes across that way and it's out of line. Not my intention at all... I do stand by my edit summary, though. Obviously, you've been around longer, so maybe this is just my meager experience, but whenever someone puts a comment-sized remark as a vote, I notice that usually guarantees, um, 'upending the tea table' (besides, is "we have the capacity to think for ourselves" really part of the argument?). Just look - the comments section in that proposal only had four casual participants, despite the numbers that suddenly started shifting, with people chiming they've "changed their mind" and then never coming back or indicating they've fully absorbed what everyone had to say.
I think there's room for improvement in this system, either by mandatory shortening of vote space (that goes for everyone), or, perhaps better yet, simply placing the Comments header above Support and Oppose. Doing one or both of these things would likely really go a long way in helping secure the average wiki-goer views all sides of an argument, rather than going with the first thing one sees (which is usually what the proposer says, and maybe any conspicuous chunk of text that catches their eye). I'm not saying the proposal lost because of it, but it would have, at the very least, been closer than what the end suggests. Here's an example: this person clearly didn't see any developments in the comments section, going by solely what was first in the proposal. Now, you might think including the Spanish and Italian names is irrelevant (which is perfectly fine, we don't have to agree on every facet), but that's not the argument this person was making, and the voter may or may not have reconsidered their position if they had all the developing facts presented in the comments. Or, to step back and use a different and somewhat recent proposal, here you support the Snifit Police move, but the most recent comment sheds light on the fact that neither name is correct (which is a good reason that the proposal was extended, might I add!). By doing something such as making the Comments the first in order, it further facilitates discussion, and voters can more easily glance through the current standing or consensus. Hopefully, my elaborating on those ideas is seen as more constructive, and maybe it's kept in consideration.
By the way, while I'm typing this out, I figured I'll give a heads up on something I've been mulling over (since the last time I did a proposal that you previously expressed very strong disagreement without consulting elsewhere, there was much contention about it to the point I gave up out of exhaustion, but fortunately I otherwise have a good support track record with my proposals) - I didn't really care for it at first, but lately I've been forming my own opinions on the Boom Boom articles. Boom Boom's been in three games since your multiple-choice proposal was enacted, and there's still no sign yet anywhere of Nintendo yielding on the matter, so I think the time is right to reassess it - I remember someone writing to the effect of, "let's keep a separate article for the prospective character and species each until Nintendo says something definite" [paraphrase]. Well, I disagree with that notion, because if we keep putting things off and letting the status quo rule, nothing would get done... Basically, what I'm saying is that I want to readdress those articles, and whether it's really worthy of separation. I was hoping to do things in a way that gets some approval beforehand. (I notice a few users use their own pages for unfinished projects and whatnot - can I use mine as a work-in-progess of this, so that you can see what I have in mind?) LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:16, 19 May 2015 (EDT)
- Okay (regarding the timing thing). But you're wrong that the system is the reason for the lack of comments: people are just getting sick of the issue, same as when proposals get extended multiple times and eventually just lie dead in the water. Ultimately, the Parabuzzy debate boils down to two very different, irreconcilable philosophies about speciation and organization, and no one is doing anyone any favours by endlessly making the same arguments over and over and over, with slight tweaks each time to specifically attack or defend one point or another. The contentious Boomerang Bro TPP you alluded to is in the same boat, and frankly, the Boom Boom TPP you're considering will be too, and I can pretty much guarantee I will fight you on it whatever you say. Because, unfortunately for you, I'm a biologist and bring my "if it's physically different, it's a different species" philosophy to the wiki, combined with my "the more the merrier" approach to the wiki, which in turn comes from missives the owner himself has given us in the past against merging pages, plus years of using case-by-case naming conventions to support the indeed relevant "we can think for ourselves" stance that allows us to use the least speculation to make the most sense out the garbled mess that is the Mario series.
- -
- It doesn't matter if my opposing argument is in my vote, as I tend to do these days (to save on space, ironically), or in the comments with my vote consisting of "see below", as I used to do (back when my arguments were even longer). If you look through past proposals, the result is the same regardless of where the chatter is; trying to reorganize the headers won't force people to read the comments and won't do a thing about new information trickling in and changing the situation after voters have come and gone either - it will simply make the formatting inconsistent. Adding a vote length cap also seems like more trouble than it's worth: it's too restrictive and begging for confusion and problems down the road; best to keep the system simple and flexible. The hope is that voters are properly informed and not just bandwagoning behind the biggest argument or the biggest name (and tbh it's rather unfair and kinda offensive to assume otherwise, both for the supporters and whoever they're supporting), but there's nothing we can do either way, so there's no point bellyaching, speculating or messing around with the system. It's worked perfectly well for eight years and will continue to work just as well.
- -
- - Walkazo 17:12, 20 May 2015 (EDT)
- I don't see how reinforcing my own viewpoints with tangible voter quotes that (frankly) speak for themselves is "bellyaching", nor do I see a lot of the same users voicing their stance on those proposals (granted, there are a few recurring names, but it's mostly different supporters and opposers each time), so I don't quite see what you're talking about when you handwave it as a group simply getting sick of that proposal. If you find absolutely no flaws in regards to any of what I've pointed out, well, maybe that's why I wouldn't be a good higher-up. The fact that it keeps coming up (granted, albeit consecutively as of recent) does say something, and it'll probably keep coming back at this rate, whether or not we're here to see it. To be honest about Boomerang Bro, I wasn't too attached with whether or not it was split - I merely thought "huh, that doesn't look right," and went with impulse not expecting any hassle (which, paradoxically, seems to have been how it was split originally). You obviously felt a whole lot stronger about it than I did, and the immediate adamacy was draining. I did learn one good thing from the experience: “maybe I should more carefully check first to see if this is something an admin or other regular was vocal about.” (Fortunately, in what ground I am usually interested in covering, this is very rarely a problem.) Anyway, I really do not even care now how Boomerang Bro is currently handled in the slightest other than that lesson, because at least the information is unambiguously presented up front so the reader can reach their own conclusion easily, unlike Parabuzzy at the moment.
- -
- It's also a bit...shortsighted to automatically declare yourself to be against (or “fight”, as you put it) whatever I have to say about Boom Boom by default. Really, I say enough time has passed that I think it deserves a serious second look. It's not like it's unallowed. The fact that it was a multiple-choice proposal anyway should certainly suggest you'd be more open and understanding to alternative solutions than you state right now (before the final resolution to appease everyone, you seemed a little partial to one of the secondary options yourself). A major issue I have with it, in retrospect, is that I disagree with most of the bold verdicts made for each individual quote piece. If it's possible, the way I would like to address it is direct – I want a chance to rebut some of the previous assertions one-by-one in full context, gather any additional information, and hopefully reach a new conclusion out of it. That's why I'd prefer to write it as an ongoing work-in-progress on my own page before I decide to go with it, if you'll grant me the opportunity, because I think it's much better to have feedback from someone who interpreted the evidence differently. I may even come around to your point of view and end up dropping it before formally proposing it this way. As I said, I really didn't think much about separating Boom Boom back when it happened, except I more or less avoided it and thus didn't try to do that – but I think one of these days it is almost inevitably going to be challenged and tackled, if not by me, then someone without prior planning (which would be far more annoying, I'm certain you must agree).
- -
- As for you being a biologist... with all due respect, what on earth does that logically have to do with Boom Boom (of all things here), and why is it so “unfortunate” for me? While I do appreciate the value of science, the reality is that the game creators will never claim to be fellow biologists, so I have to question to what extent this is applicable to what I've said at all – I only posit that what's convenient isn't necessarily what's accurate. LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:21, 20 May 2015 (EDT)
- Most people don't comment either way: they just read and vote, and user turnover's always high; however, if you look at the March TPP's comments, all of the participants returned to vote for the May one, but only one opposer besides me commented, and only once, because there's really no point anymore if all you are going to do is say we're barking up the wrong tree and all we can say is that we're not: I know I am sick of the proposal, it's not unreasonable to assume I'm not the only one. The fact that the proposal has failed by handy majorities each and every time speaks more to me than the fact that it keeps coming up. Admins have banned proposals that beat dead horses like this in the past, because it just becomes a waste of everyone's time to keep debating something that will not change. Yes, some people have an issue with the info being split, but more people prefer it that way, and I do in fact find a huge flaw in the "no legs? no problem" stance, which is why I will always argue(/fight/debate/other-synonyms) against the merge of the Parabuzzies, Boomerang Bros. and Boom Booms. I have many headcanons that I adhere to personally but don't force upon the wiki: Boom Boom only being a species was one of them (although the recent games with Pom Pom made me modify that to the species-and-character idea anyway (like Yoshi, Toad and Birdo)). You can do whatever you want with your userspace: it belongs to you. You can feel free to show me your progress too, but if your goal is scrapping Boom Boom (species), I will never agree to it, and it is not shortsightedness speaking, it is the fact that, to me, there is a specific species of Koopa represented here, and I will always believe that we should have a species page to reflect that.
- -
- This is where my biology career fits in: I approach enemies from a speciation perspective, rather than a strictly game-devo POV, so I put more importance on the in-game depictions than the meta-game stuff (although I do take the development angle into account when working on the wiki to ensure it's not just baseless bias at work, but defendable stances), and believe that in most cases, delineating species based on how species are defined IRL has more merit than marching lock-step with Nintendo's blithe disregard for consistency. It's unfortunate for you because this largely pro-split way of thinking puts me in direct opposition to your (and others') generally pro-merge philosophy about ill-defined species; this has led to many heated TPP debates and will probably lead to many more. In my experience, people don't like it when proposals they are invested in repeatedly fail, and protracted debates are generally unpleasant and frustrating for everyone involved (myself included). Were I not a biologist, I might not be so adamant about saving these pages, and life would be easier for everyone, but I am, so it's not, which is unfortunate.

- All right, you've adequately explained your position in a manner that's clear to me. Sorry for being a bit of a pain and taking up a chunk of your time. If you want to respond to the final proposal remarks, Binarystep opened a sort of aftermath (which...makes my frantic typing before the deadline pointless, sorry again for the time-crunched animosity, although I fear the relative pushing of that issue is inadvertently hurting future discussion altogether). As for me, I am personally done with it for now since I believe just about every important angle has been looked at with our current knowledge, and as mentioned, I initially wanted to maintain a neutral stance at least until the final release of Mario Maker anyway. I've also had a few articles split before, so I wouldn't say I'm entirely pro-merge, but my admitted leaning towards that tendency is probably another reason I wouldn't be a good admin (not that I particularly aspire to be). As for the Boom Boom write-up - I can't say for sure what my complete conclusion will be since I haven't started work on it yet, and it might not even conclude merging in the end since I want to make sure I hit every pertinent piece of evidence first. The intended goal for what I'll be writing is simply to provide another deep perspective and (at minimal) suggest adjustments to the articles, although based on what I've taken from the quotes so far, I will say I would tentatively side with Boom Boom only being a species if it came down to that, but I want to try going in without any preconceived notions. I just thought the most appropriate thing to do would be to ask for your permission first, since I'd be taking a closer look at your older arguments. When I'm done with a draft (which may or may not take shape in proposal form, depending on what I feel my results necessitate), I'll get back to you so you can give it a review.

I'm glad we came to an understanding (but I will post on Binarystep's ill-advised Parabuzzy post-script too - although the comments thus-far do handily prove my "we're all sick of this" hypothesis, I must say). The tough part about Boom Boom is that some things clearly say/show there's multiple Boom Booms, while others treat him like a character and most are ambiguous (and then where's the whole Pom Pom partnership), so I still think having it both ways is preferable over choosing one over the other when don't actually have to for a change. But anyway, like I said, feel free to work on it however you want, and I'll be happy to provide feedback when asked. Once something's added, it's fair game when it comes to wikis, and most users don't bother consulting people when they plan on reevaluating something they did, so your consideration is much appreciated! - Walkazo 19:22, 22 May 2015 (EDT)
Re: Administrators
I feel critized :-( Short... I answered to the talk page's administrator, I learned something new: "Sysop" say "Administrator", I did not know ! :-> Thanks Walkazo, thank you so much ! :-$ I noticed you always check discussion's page :-p You're are a very good administrator ! :-) --Captain Yoshi File:YoshiYellow-MK8.png 13:30, 20 May 2015 (EDT)
- "Administrator" is both an umbrella term for all three ranks put together, and for the one specific rank, which used to be known a "Sysop", and which a lot of us still call "Sysop" to avoid confusion. Usually, pages using "administrator" around here are using the umbrella usage. And thanks! - Walkazo 17:12, 20 May 2015 (EDT)
Walkazo!
Hey! How have you been? I completely forgot that I had changed my name from Toadette 4evur and it took me 5 minutes to realise it. Derp. How've you been? I'm thinking of coming back to the Wiki for a while since I dropped out of Uni and now have no life besides work and my partner (who lives in the UK. Welp) SJ derp :P 22:56, 25 May 2015 (EDT)
- Eh, it just wasn't the right time for me to be in Uni. I'll figure that out eventually though.
I think I pissed off the SO today though, so I'm currently freaking out over that. I'm really good at psyching myself out tbh. It's most likely nothing, but still scary tbhEdit: It's all good now xD SJ derp :P 21:40, 26 May 2015 (EDT)- Yeah, unfortunately I still have that nasty habit of speaking before thinking. Luckily I've controlled it a lot more since when I was active here. God I got in so many fights with users because of that. xD Ooooh what kind of work do you do? :O SJ derp :P 17:29, 27 May 2015 (EDT)
- I'm supposed to be working the Customer Service Desk at a local grocery store, but they haven't given me my service desk hours yet. I've only been cashiering. I used to be a manager at a store, so going from that to just cashiering is beyond painful x.x SJ derp :P 18:26, 27 May 2015 (EDT)
- I start them on 11 June! :D Lucky for them since I've been a manager at a grocery store before I know how to do almost everything, there's only one thing I actually need to learn to do haha. I think the biggest thing that they're happy about is that they don't have to train me on how the Post Office works, since I was designated postal boy at my old store until I became a manager :P SJ derp :P 19:32, 27 May 2015 (EDT)
- I'm sooooo ready to be done being just a cashier xD I have 8 days of it in a row starting tomorrow, though DX Off topic: so I made Kylie Minogue my Woman Crush Wednesday on Instagram today. I like to pretend she'll see it, though I really doubt she will. I have a lot of respect for her and she's one of my inspiration tbh :) SJ derp :P 19:55, 27 May 2015 (EDT)
- Luckily I have 4 days off in a row after that, for a friend's graduation. Plus I'll get to talk to my boy a lot then too xD Yeah, I love Kylie. One of my biggest life goals is to perform with her someday. She's been one of the biggest inspirations for me to want to be a singer. SJ derp :P 20:35, 27 May 2015 (EDT)
- Ugh, my schedule this week is such a pain. I just finished my third day out of eight days in a row *cries*. Luckily, my partner just finished Uni for the year so now he can talk to me on my breaks and listen to be bitch about work xD
(I don't know if you allow swearing so I censored just in case!)Edit:Uncensored :P SJ derp :P 20:36, 30 May 2015 (EDT)

- That's good! :D I get four days off afterwards, luckily, and then after that I have two short cashiering shifts AND THEN I GET TO DO CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN THANK JEBETH. And haha I wouldn't say his ears are sympathetic. He's told me to stop complaining about my 8 days in a row xD (though he only works 3 days a week so he doesn't know the paiiiiiiiiiin) SJ derp :P 20:48, 30 May 2015 (EDT)

- Hahaha well I got to put up with him whining about exams so it's only fair :P and my pay isn't as good as it could be tbh. But I'll hopefully get a raise soon! SJ derp :P 22:17, 30 May 2015 (EDT)

Friends
We may not really know eachother, but sometimes you really are a good user because you help me. I'm sorry that some my past edits were not necessary. I'm really trying my best for my edits to be trusted. I'm just saying this because I thought you were mad at me, so I hope you're not mad and you're happy. Is it okay if we be friends? If yes, I'll send my userbox to you. Thank you so much! ShyGuy8 (talk|contribs) File:Shyguy MP9.png 15:44, 7 June 2015 (EDT)
