I am a current wiki bureaucrat. Quick links Current time New Super Mario Wiki LogoI've been thinking that the wiki could hold a contest to design a brand new logo for the Super Mario Wiki. It's a new year, and as far as I know, the current logo is the only one to ever be used (again, as far as I know). --
Not at all! I'll update it once I get home.
Done. a whatchamacallit term...Hi. Do you happen to know if there is a term for an easy-to-recognize concept in RPG games? It's this: when the player moves in the field, usually the camera moves as the player does, but sometimes the camera stops moving when the player reaches the edge of a certain kind of region, and if the player crosses the region, the screen turns black and then resumes with the player in the next. (In Partners in Time, the Lakitu cameraman speaks of "rooms", but this doesn't always work. In Bowser's Inside Story, such regions are denoted by rectangles on the map and uncovered one by one.) Does "screen" work, or maybe there is a better word for such "regions"? --A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 10:23, 3 January 2017 (EST)
RE:VBWLSure! I wasn't aware at all that you are working on those articles. Sorry for that! Also, what do you think of Horned Toady? Is it written well? -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE
Deletion of Upload Wars (Continued)You never got around to deleting a lot of the file history for these files before archiving the discussion! Also both the edit history and file history of File:Pnp-logo.png need removal of certain edits pertaining to piracy websites. I think it is against policy to link to or reference such locations on the internet. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:52, 4 January 2017 (EST)
File:SM64 BitDW M25.png - Megadardery (talk) reverted once. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 18:47, 8 January 2017 (EST) File:Super Mario 64 Wiggler Boss Nintendo 64.png - Starting to get ridiculous. Also it might be a good idea to remove "hack" images (120+ stars, widescreen hacks, etc.). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 19:49, 5 February 2017 (EST) File:BulletBillWii.png - Cumbersome list of revisions, especially by B.wilson (talk), who was blocked indefinitely from this wiki for trolling (reverted more than tried to make the image better). Delete those revisions along with any other revisions by others. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 20:05, 6 February 2017 (EST)
File:Super Mario 64 (U).png - There's a few reverts. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 18:58, 8 February 2017 (EST) File:Pinball.PNG - Get rid of Brandondorf9999 (talk)'s edits and other members' reverts. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 01:15, 10 February 2017 (EST) A few mistakes on Help and Mariowiki pagesThere are two pages that have mistakes and I can't edit them because they are protected so only admins can edit so I want you to fix them. In Help:CSS, in the last section it says If you want to add comments (text that the CSS won't read), put it inbetween /* and */. There should be a space in between inbetween. In Mariowiki:Bots, you will find that there should be the letter s after the word email at the end (the second email).
RE:Shadoo ReversionAh, okay. Yeah, Glowsquid (talk) explained that pretty well. The section was Template:Plainlink back in May and wasn't undone since until yesterday. I saw it as a bunch of speculation as none of it is truly confirmed, but there does seem to be a significant amount of backstory to this, doesn't there? Apologies for all the confusion. RE: Super Mario Galaxy game guideHey! There's no enemy list in the SMG1 guide (at least for the Premiere Edition; not sure about the Collector's Edition), so I had to look through the levels they appeared in to see if they'd mention "Metallic Goombas" or "Octobeetles". So far, I haven't found any mentions of these two names (The RPG Gamer (talk) added the "Octobeetle" name; might want to ask him when his block expires), but I did find these:
The Buoy Base Galaxy section doesn't seem to mention them at all. If I do run into any of those two names, or if there are any more levels they're found in that come to mind, I'll let you know. As for Kingfin, the guide does indeed only refer to it as "the Bonefin" (odd considering the mission is called "Kingfin's Fearsome Waters"). Some references:
Hope this helps!
Congrats!Hey, congrats on the promotion! I knew you'd be one one day. (Sorry I wasn't there to lend my support!)
Thanks, guys!
At first, I thought it was a demotion (wanted, not deserved), but I guess the ranks were different than I thought. The reason the misconception was occurring is that administrators were doing most of the work that regular users or patrollers couldn't do. Rarely did I see a bureaucrat do those things for the time I was active here. Guess order at which it appears here matters. I'm so dumb
Therefore, I shall hereby call you Shokoroach from now to promote your good fortune. ;) Archived Talk Pages ProtectedFor the proper archival of talk pages, I think that Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Petey Pirahna Ground Idle.gif should be looked at and associated pages be edited to use File:Petey Piranha Ground Idle.gif instead. This was all caused by a move and redirect deleted. I can't edit these. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 01:26, 8 January 2017 (EST)
Proposal passedThe proposal I made about creating a template for appeal outcomes has passed, so could you temporarily unprotect the archive pages so that I can apply the necessary changes? P.S.: There's also a template that
Wiki Maintenance thingsI have some ideas on how to improve the writing on some of the category listings on the Wiki maintenance page, along with some typos I've found:
The "are" should be changed to "have" and "may" should be changed to "can" (as "may" suggests an option otherwise).
Should this instead say the following to be clearer?
The "are" is missing. I think it should be noted in the "Orphaned Pages" box that a majority of them are disambiguations and don't exactly need a link to them. That's all I caught right now, but I'll let you know if I find any more.
Unlicensed Images is missing a link to its category.
PMTTYD bestiary helpI'm going through and replacing the enemy templates with the proper code to transclude from the bestiary, but for some reason all the PMTTYD enemy templates are transcluding with
ThanksThank you so much, i only created this account about 2 hours ago after being a long time fan of Nintendo and the Super Mario Wiki and was having a bit of trouble with adding things such as text. Now I know what to do and probably wont encounter that problem again. Thanks again, Alex What the...?So I was looking at the bureaucrat list and I see the normal ones, Glowsquid, Walkazo... SHOKORA!? Then I went here and saw that you were promoted 3 days ago. Therefore, even though I'm late compared to some other users, CONGRATULATIONS! Late Birthday Present Please
Re: Partners in Time screenshotWhoops, sorry about that. I guess the answer is yes, according to Wildgoosespeeder. Is it possible to restore the JPG that got replaced? DeSmuME's OpenGL rendering option doesn't play well with my Windows 7 environment. In any case, I'll try Linux soon and maybe I can retake the screenshot free of emulator glitch. --A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 05:18, 12 January 2017 (EST) RE: On issuing warningsPerhaps I am a bit uptight about how things are run on MarioWiki. I feel this way because I think some things that happen here are too relaxed compared to other Wikis I have edited. Or maybe I am so used to tighter control that it bugs me more than it should and other people get annoyed by my actions. Whatever the case, I am sorry for that though. I had a feeling I was overusing those templates considering that many of them I issued are getting overturned within the past few months. I thought I understood how to use them and understood policy enough to issue them. The warnings I have been giving were mostly related to images, if I remember right. The overturning records tell a different story though. I started to issue them less frequently with the introduction of {{uncategorized}}. Ultimate Mr. L (talk) was an example where it was doing more good than issuing warnings. As for templates such as {{aboutfile-reminder}} and {{imagecategory-reminder}}, I will continue to issue those because they are more instructional than for keeping a track record of performance, unless you feel differently of course. The last warning I gave at this time, which was for Toadette the Achiever (talk), I thought was more justified than the previous ones I was issuing because I think they were aware I was in the process of archiving. I don't know where the user was coming from where they said it was just a few minutes in between. I saw hours. Oh well, have to let that one go. Anyways, thanks for confirming with me that I am being too harsh with my warning issuing. I hope that I can improve how to spot real behavioral issues instead of perceived ones. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:30, 12 January 2017 (EST) I have flooded the recent changes page! >:DThanks! Had some spare time today. :) VandalIt is possible for you to enable "change visibility" in order to remove the vulgar contents? Re: iQueThanks! I'm thinking about a history section now. Neither the Chinese nor the English Wikipedia has had such a section, but the 52Poké wiki (the Chinese affiliate of Bulbapedia) has a detailed one (from a Pokémon point of view), and I plan to write an abstract of it. By the way, there's actually have a question I've always wanted to ask: if a citation applies to a whole section (instead of just one sentence), where would the best place to put it? --A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 06:41, 24 January 2017 (EST) Passed ProposalSo, the proposal of mine has passed, which means MarioWiki:Galleries needs to be updated to reflect the change. Also, uh, what do I do with the proposal itself now?
RequestApologies if I messed something up. I'm on mobile. Hey, my internet is down for the next couple of days, at least til Wednesday. So I'm not able to do any major edits for a while, which includes the layouts of the SM64 levels and missions, until it gets fixed (using my mom's phone at). So, um, make sure no one does my work for me until I get back? Just a heads up. - Alex95
Proposal Passed, Need AssistanceMy proposal passed and I need some assistance modifying MarioWiki:Image use policy, but also to reflect a very old but still enforced proposal about prohibiting bad/fan transparency. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 19:30, 30 January 2017 (EST)
Seeing as how the proposal is in effect, can you restore File:Rocket Start (Mario Kart 8).jpg and delete File:Rocket Start (Mario Kart 8).png? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 23:02, 30 January 2017 (EST)
upscaled screenshotsThe image use policy favors actual hardware resolution to upscaled screenshots. Does this "upscaled" include HD renderings like File:FlowerFieldsPM.png, or is it just for consoles like NES, GBA and Nintendo DS where things will be pixelated if upscaled? --A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 10:38, 7 February 2017 (EST) February, You're My Valentine
Template name helpI'm trying to use the template that goes "For other uses of [so-and-so], see [bleh]." but I don't know the name of it. ...Help?
Wario Land 4 "Super Hard" TASHey, what's up? :) I don't know if you like watching TAS videos, but this one just came out and I thought you might want to know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8yXPg4_aa0 Cheers! Bolded editsIn the recent changes, I've noticed that some edits are bolded. What does this mean?
RE: SMSThank you! I used to do oversized ones, at least with GCN games, but I started to experiment with Dolphin's capabilities a bit more and found out that a certain graphical mode might be producing screenshots more closely to what real hardware can produce, but at a cost of being extremely slow. The oversizing was due to Dolphin's shoddy implementation of screenshots and me trying to cover it up with something nicer. To get technical and keep things understandable, I think that the GCN's graphical instructions being converted into something that a computer's GPU can understand is a bit off with Dolphin when using OpenGL, Direct3D, or Vulkan because it thinks that native resolution is 640x528 for all games when really it isn't. I even made a note of it in my WIP. I still do this oversizing with Wii games because widescreen is faked on real hardware. Resizing the window to be exactly at native is a pain in the butt and too involved so that is why I still recommend oversizing. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:18, 10 February 2017 (EST) RE: Virtual Boy ScreenshotsI don't know what to think of this. VBjin is the easiest to get into so that is why I selected it. I'm not a fan of including MS-DOS-like elements in the GUI, like ZSNES (also an inaccurate and garbage SNES emulator compared to Snes9x and bsnes). It's a shame that VBjin doesn't have a palate swap feature like FCEUX. The colors are so very slightly off that it's almost undetectable and not worth worrying about. There are a few remedies to this issue of color. You could select the coloring to greyscale and isolate the four shades and apply the correct colors manually. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 14:54, 11 February 2017 (EST) RE: ArtRegarding the Dr. Mario art, yeah it all seems to be from Nintendo Power. Meanwhile the Mario Clash and Super Mario Land art is all from their instruction manuals. Admittedly, I didn't scan them myself, this lovely Tumblr did. Renaming vandalsHey, I saw something Walkazo said a while back (which I can't find now) that said something along the lines of "if we rename a vandal to something like 'Noname', then the original name can be taken by another vandal." Would it be a good idea to just keep the vandal's name as is, however inappropriate it may be, and let it fade into obscurity, so another vandal can't take it? Or is there something more to it? Hmm, I think that if you choose to allow redirects to the new name (I didn't), then a new account shouldn't be able to be registered with that name. For example, after I was renamed, a new account couldn't register with the name "YoshiKong" (because that name already redirected to my talk and user page). The main benefit of renaming such users, is that the inappropriate name is hidden in the public block log and new user log. Re: Userspace CatorizationI'm sorry for the late response. Thanks for telling me! I'll keep that in mind for the future. |
