Could we someday make this section again? This time I promise it won't fail.

We have terms like Shroobified, Game Over, Level Up...heck we have almost all of them in Terms List. \

So can we make this go back to life? Paper Jorge

Would this be a list page or would it describe the terms a little bit? If the former, we should just link to the Terms category, if the latter, we should try again. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 16:03, 9 January 2007 (EST)

Possible Name Issue...

I was thinking... Most people who look up "Glossary" are probably thinking about the enemy log thingie in Super Princess Peach. --YellowYoshi398 21:33, 13 February 2007 (EST)

I suggest creating Glossary (Super Princess Peach), and putting a note at the top of this page linking to that. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 21:35, 13 February 2007 (EST)

Shouldn't?

Shouldn't this be MarioWiki:Glossary? GrodenE T C El

Yes. Why don't you ask Cobold to change it? He's on as far as I know right now. Stumpers! 15:48, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks, Grapes. That was long overdue. Stumpers! 02:03, 15 November 2008 (EST)

Abbreviations

Shouldn't the full names mentioned in the entries for abbreviations also be in bold? For example, should the current RPG entry be "RPG: Short for Role Playing Game..." or should "Role Playing Game" remain plain? - Walkazo 22:58, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Too Precise?

Must we really put ALL the name's of the games that have a world 1-1? MisterJaffffeyPeteyPiranhaBanana.gif G0 Glossary

We could create a disambiguation page for "World 1-1"/"1-1" and put that information on there, but yes, we do want that information somewhere for completeness. If you'd like to copy and paste the information here and then delete the information, that would be fine - then, when I'm under less pressure, I can take care of those articles.

Maybe we should make a seperate page for the List of Levels. Including definitions on this page for "1-1" through "1-Tower", but not for any of the other worlds' levels seems odd. However, including all the levels on the glossary page would take up way to much space and detract from the other words' definitions. Plus, the level entries that are up are mind-numbingly repetative: "x-y is the xth level in the yth world of the Super Mario Bros platformers..." could easily be converted into a chart. One column's header would explain that unless otherwise stated (as in "1-Tower"), the names mean world-level; the other column would be for the games that level appears in. Once that's done, the article could even be expanded to list the non-numerically-titled levels: each game would have a section (with sub-sections for worlds), where the levels would be listed from first to last (to bonus). Here is what that part of the article would look like. - Walkazo 23:24, 14 December 2008 (EST)
Of course it seems odd: the glossary is incomplete by about 90%, if not more. I have no opinion on the matter - if you have a better way to do it, it's up to you. Stumpers! 00:11, 15 December 2008 (EST)
I could set up a Levels Page, just give me a few weeks to work on it on my computer (I hate posting half-finished projects on mainspace). - Walkazo 20:54, 15 December 2008 (EST)
