Warning

bogus warning removed by staff 193.173.217.220 193.173.217.220 03:41, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

What even? Serpent King 03:58, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

I see you may be confused. I don't see anything wrong. You can get warnings appealed. See MarioWiki:Appeals. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:04, 7 April 2016 (EDT)

...Why should I put effort into appealing a clearly bogus warning? Serpent King 01:34, 8 April 2016 (EDT)

I think it is technically against the rules to remove your own warnings. You need to be approved. Something tells me you will be approved by a moderator without fuss. Play it safe is what I say. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 01:43, 8 April 2016 (EDT)

Also, IPs can't give warnings, so this is clearly something that should be taken down. Instead of appealing it, you could just ask an admin and I'm sure they'd remove it. I might add that you should ask whichever admin you ask to take this down to keep an eye on, this IP. J-Luigi (talk) 09:13, 8 April 2016 (EDT)

It's me

Yeah, I know loads about Mario too. P.S. It's Swagman, the Green Swordsman
The preceding unsigned comment was added by SuperLuigi (talk).

Why did you block me?!

Why did you block me?! before that Serpent King I was fair and square to you, I think the block is too far, I haven't got a Last Warn on SmashWiki. so why did you do it? TabuuandPeach (talk) 20:55, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

Please do not take SmashWiki business to other wikis. Thanks Serpent King 21:53, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

also, Im calmed down from yesterday, so can ya unblock me? This wasn't nessary: Reason for block: trolling/disruption: Take a few days off, come back when you're ready to stop lying. TabuuandPeach (talk) 11:23, 15 April 2016 (EDT) Plus I have a hard time listening because I have ADHD. TabuuandPeach (talk) 11:24, 15 April 2016 (EDT)

See my last comment. Serpent King 22:46, 15 April 2016 (EDT)

Here's a present!

Serpent King I have been block again by another admin, when I got blocked, when I was trying to tell the truth all along. TabuuandPeach 18:20, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

Template:LLQuote Serpent King 05:58, 8 May 2016 (EDT)

Template:LLQuote Well my statement above isn't Spam, not Trolling, and is not a Personal Attack. TabuuandPeach 15:17, 12 May 2016 (EDT)

It is irrelevant (and incorrect) though. Stop harassing me or I shall report you. Serpent King 18:55, 15 May 2016 (EDT)

I do NOT harass people, I may have different views than you, that doesn't mean that im harassing you. TabuuandPeach 00:32, 16 May 2016 (EDT)

Well, Tabuu should be reported. I thought it over. Please report him, my old friend.MasterDoopliss (talk) 15:36, 21 May 2016 (EDT)

Well it's officially settled, my ban expired so, im no longer bugging you. TabuuandPeach 15:47, 21 May 2016 (EDT)

Welcoming

Hi please don't welcome new users until they've done a constructive edit thanks. The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 18:17, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

Image category

Hello, good work with your uploads but please make sure to use the correct game category: instead of [[Category:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]], use [[Category:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Images]] The former category is meant only for articles and other pages pertaining to the game. driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 20:18, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

Saw that, sorry about that. Didn't realize there were separate categories for images. Serpent King 20:20, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

No problem. Also you should create a separate page for your signature as pasting just the code is not allowed, see here for information. driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 20:25, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

Um what? ~~~~ is sorta the standard isn't it? I could do {{User:Serpent King/sig}} but what's the point of that? Serpent King 20:28, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

Your signature is automatically created for you when you create an account ... and is left by typing ~~~ after your comment. ~~~~ leaves your signature and datestamp Serpent King 20:30, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

According to the signature rules, it is mandatory to have a signature subpage if you have a custom signature (which you do), otherwise, just signing with ~~~~ will produce a generic signature with a timestamp. By "automatically created for you" it refers to the generic one that comes up when you input ~~~~ (you can try it now, it will only do the generic one as you haven't configured you custom signature) driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 20:32, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

Except I have. ~~~ = Serpent King, preference bar reads {{SUBST:User:Serpent King/sig}}. Are you talking about the date stamp? Serpent King 20:36, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

That part is fine (it's what configures it to display the timestamp), but you need to create the page User:Serpent King/sig and paste the coding of your signature there. After that when you sign with ~~~~ it should come up with your custom sig and timestamp. driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 20:38, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

The page exists. And the coding is there. Serpent King 20:41, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

Are you copying/pasting the coding after comments? Everything is set up correctly; if that's the case then just switch to signing with four tildes and it should do the same thing. driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 20:43, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

There is no copy/pasting. That would get really annoying lol. RandomYoshi helped (I think...this is the test) Serpent King 20:44, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

Yeah that works like it's supposed to. Earlier it was showing the code itself with the timestamp instead of the page transclusion. Sorry if I inconvenienced you in any way, I was getting a little confused myself over the problem. driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 20:50, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

That would be because it was substituted (via {{SUBST:whatever}}). Serpent King 20:53, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

My edits

What was wrong with all my edits? I was trying my best to add at images of the characters. In the Thwomp's case, it may've been subjected to deletion if left idle. As for Midbus, you actually can win the battle if you cheat the game using action replay. You will defeat him easily and you get 75 exp and 0 coins the slash was there because that's how much you will earn with the Challenge Medal equipped (the battle will still play out like you lost however). I hope this adds support to my edits. The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 20:30, 23 November 2016 (EST)

I explained everything in the edit summaries. Thwomp idle should not be featured outside of a gallery because it's not a necessary representation of the character. If that means it gets deleted, so be it. For Midbus, ...the end sequence doesn't play out normally, so you don't get anything. Anyone who plays the game will know that.

SmashWiki Image Dimension Restrictions

I've heard that SmashWiki is a bit more strict with images when it comes to dimensions. I like that because there are benefits to keeping things minimal, such as mobile users downloading the images being bandwidth-friendly. If you want to know true dimensions of at least Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I have test results here. Check out the N64 and GCN/Wii sections. Probably good reads. If you have any questions, let me know. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:32, 7 March 2017 (EST)

Yes, for full screenshots, we like to use native resolution and dimensions. For focused shots, we don't care quite as much. Serpent King 00:03, 8 March 2017 (EST)
