==Medusiño MLA Italics==
In that case the usage of the MLA style instead of the wiki's style will likely need a proposal somewhere, as a lot of the foreign name explanations on this wiki use quotes instead of italics for explanations, and there's a lot of failed proposals regarding the conversion of this wiki to be MLA. {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 10:32, February 14, 2023 (EST)

As pointed out on [[Talk:Tour Bangkok Rush|the talk page]], going by the same direction as the ''Deluxe'' video which is the reverse variant, the Inky Piranha Plant is not actually at the same location of this Piranha Plant but on the other side of the poster/pillar. It's likely there isn't one found behind it but it's still hard to tell and know for sure. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:44, March 3, 2023 (EST)

==re:Made in Wario Bonbon==

I've asked the other staff to be certain but I don't think nuking the edit-rev is necessary. We have links to obscure, currently un-distributed material in other pages and the Dr. Mario-kun has (and continues to) posts scans of his work without evident legal issues - unlike what ROM sites may tell you, copyright infringement doesn't suddenly become legal if you do it for a time-limited period. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 11:37, March 29, 2023 (EDT)

== This is Wario clipping through his own chest ==

[[File:MH3O3Wariolose.png|120px]]

This is just a dare made by Waluigi on if Wario can lick his own chest. Seems like Wario CAN lick his own chest. A little too well, his jaw is just buried inside and he needs a little help! Can you lick your own chest and beat Waluigi at his little game!? {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 23:02, March 31, 2023 (EDT)
:A "little" help? He needs urgent hospitalisation! He broke his central rigs! This is what you get for playing Waluigi's depraved games, Wario. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 04:05, April 1, 2023 (EDT)
::Hey, Wario is just REALLY jealous of Waluigi's flexibility, so he asked Waluigi's secret. I wonder how well Wario can reach his fingertips if he's trying to put one arm over its shoulder and have the other go opposite. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 04:27, April 1, 2023 (EDT)

== Response to your comment in the proposal ==

Posting here because I didn't want to leave a comment there. All I wanted was to vote and leave it there, I'm just sick and tired of people getting confrontational with me when I say no to something. I was hesitant on voting at first for this reason so once others had left opposition reasonings I thought my time to leave a simple "per all" vote was right, and debating actually does mentally wear me out a lot. I'd appreciate if people respected that for once. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 12:14, April 18, 2023 (EDT)
:Right, I understand. This is, after all, a fan wiki on a media franchise. Arguing on its fictional constructs isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things, certainly much less so than one's mental health. (I myself am emotionally distant from these discussions, but I do enjoy arguing, if that makes sense.) {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 12:19, April 18, 2023 (EDT)

== "Made In Wario" Diary Quote's ==

In an index article showcasing almost every single dr. crygor quote ([[List of Dr. Crygor quotes]]), there's a section named "WarioWare Inc Mega Microgames Japanese diary entries". I made it on my own. The section features english translations of [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/azwj/crygor/diary.html Dr. Crygor's entries] from the japanese WWIMM website. Whilst the february entry is not inside a dropdown, all the march and april entries are collapsed in a dropdown. I've tried the best to correct some terms, like ''Aubulon-kun'' sounding like [[Orbulon]], and ''Cut'' sounding like [[Kat]].

Please make sure to analyze the diary entries section (above), and fix any obvious error present. {{User:PnnyCrygr/sig}} 19:41, April 22, 2023 (EDT)

==Re:Winged Cloud==
Actually, if you zoom in on the [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/ja/pdf/CLV-P-VADJJ.pdf source], you can see that it's supposed to be ぐ due to the compound. Flipping through the ''Super Mario Advance 3'' guide also shows the same (the other guides don't use furigana, at least when listing items). I think it's safe to consider it a mistake. Let's say there was a source that used く though. In that case, what I would do is list both names separately since the romanization differs but put them under the same meaning, i.e. use Jap, JapR, JapM, Jap2, and Jap2R, but no Jap2M.

== How should Play Nintendo's Pics be displayed?  ==

Pics section on Play Nintendo's website consists of galleries that Nintendo likes to remove every once in a while, so they need to be covered. An average gallery looks like [https://play.nintendo.com/media/pics/luigis-mansion-3-image-gallery/ this], a set of images with captions at the bottom. 
:Headache #1: Not every gallery has captions. Especially older ones. Just images.
:Headache #2: Since images are the main part of the galleries, they should be displayed front and centre. <nowiki>{{Play Nintendo quiz}}</nowiki> template sounds like a great option, allowing us to display a caption below an image, but it looks really ugly without any caption. Using wiki's <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> would make it more challenging to view the images that are supposed to be the main focus of the section (also they'd require clicking them on desktop). Some files are VERY low quality.
:Headache #3: Nintendo of America doesn't archive their old content. Archive.org barely saved any files, fortunately all the direct file links still work even for long deleted galleries. 
:Headache #4: Article size! How should we deal with that? Images take up space, they take longer to load a page, and I'm not a fan of [hide] buttons. Giving every gallery their own page could work, maybe?
Here's a [[User:Spectrogram/sandbox#LL|preview]]. Feel free to reply on your talk page [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 14:03, May 23, 2023 (EDT)
:I was planning on covering these galleries at some point, so I welcome your initiative. I think they are too light on content to warrant individual pages, but like you, I'm not sure how I would handle their coverage otherwise. I need to test out a few possibilities myself, then I will get back to you. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 16:32, May 23, 2023 (EDT)
:: How about [https://www.mariowiki.com/List_of_regional_coins_in_the_Cap_Kingdom something like this?] It adapts to the screen size and still allows us to add captions. It probably would be better to have galleries split in their own articles anyway. The article size on mobile would be huge. [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 10:59, May 27, 2023 (EDT)
:::Yeah, that would be ideal for the images. I don't see why they shouldn't be placed in the same tables under [hide] buttons, though; they're convenient as far as loading times and mobile users are concerned and they don't take much effort to open. I am curious if you have a particular issue with them. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 11:28, May 27, 2023 (EDT)
:::: I never liked the [hide] buttons (except in nav-templates and in some specific cases such as hiding a wall of data on a talk page for convenience). In tables they feel especially off. In this specific case, the table is already very cluttered. Giving the galleries individial pages just feels more right. Edit: not to mention, Nintendo isn't going to stop making these galleries. Article size will continue to grow as time goes by [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 11:55, May 27, 2023 (EDT)
:::: Here's an [https://www.mariowiki.com/User:Spectrogram/sandbox#Galleries example] of how it would look like. I just don't see how we could store an ever increasing number of galleries on one page, really [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 06:18, May 28, 2023 (EDT)
:::::The last gallery they made was for Luigi's Mansion 3 back in 2019, having seemingly put a cap on this sort of promotional content, so I wouldn't call their number "ever-increasing". I'm inclined to have these galleries covered on one list, but my personal preference isn't gospel. Porplemontage might make a better call on the organisation of these things since I suppose his web dev knowledge entails some manner of resource management that could prove helpful, so you could ask him for an opinion. Or make a proposal about the issue. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 09:26, May 28, 2023 (EDT)
:::::: There is a [https://www.mariowiki.com/User:Spectrogram/sandbox#Gallery native] <nowiki><gallery mode="slideshow"></nowiki> that works very similarly to the way galleries are displayed on Play Nintendo, and it would solve the issue of image overload. Unsure on whether or not we should use it in an article. [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 09:46, May 28, 2023 (EDT)
:::::::Oh wow, I never knew about that! Seems very useful, but I don't know how to operate the slideshow on mobile. There are no arrows or anything around it to switch between pics. Can't swipe either. Edit: NVM the arrows just weren't visible on my custom CSS. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 09:49, May 28, 2023 (EDT)~
::::::::Just checked as well. Unfortunately it appears there is no way to look through these images on mobile by default (that would be convenient and not confusing for the reader, that is). I really do not want to make a proposal on a topic two and a half people care about. [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 09:57, May 28, 2023 (EDT)
::::::::After going through many options, I believe [https://www.mariowiki.com/User:Spectrogram/sandbox this] is how we should do the galleries. Images are the main focus of the article, each image has a readable caption below it. It looks good on desktop and even better on mobile. [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 07:10, May 30, 2023 (EDT)
:::::::::Nice. Go ahead! Just make sure you find a place for these new articles in the Play Nintendo template. (I suggest creating two subsections in "Media": one for the articles pertaining to the Pics category, and one called "Miscellaneous" solely occupied by the [[List of Play Nintendo wallpapers|wallpaper list]].) By the by, you planning to make a list of Play Nintendo videos too? {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 09:27, May 30, 2023 (EDT)

== SMRPG and crude CG ==

I was mostly looking at, for example, Frogfucious and Guerilla's models, which as seen by their official renders, look like they came straight out of 1996 showcase renders. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:24, September 18, 2023 (EDT)
:It's not that noticeable [[:File:Super Mario RPG remake combat.jpg|in-game]], considering how small these characters appear on the screen. Some models aren't even really polygon-impaired, such as [[:File:SMRPG NS Spikey.png|Spikey's]], [[:File:SMRPG NS Sky Troopa.png|Sky Troopa's]], or [[:File:SMRPG NS Magikoopa.png|Magikoopa's]], and are comparable to what you'd see in other [[:File:MTA Kamek.jpg|Nintendo-published]] [[:File:DiddySpecialShot.jpg|games]]. I can believe the notion that these in-game models being recycled as promo renders where they are more clearly visible, warts and all, may have been intended to further emulate the original game's artistic direction, but it reads like speculation without definitive word from the developers and the statement I removed was in reference to what is seen in the game itself anyway. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 10:32, September 19, 2023 (EDT)

==Re: "Evasion check"==
In the [[Stage (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|stage article]] regarding your confusion with the term "evasion checks", a "check" in RPG terms is essentially an RNG mechanic that a game calculates for an action (for example, if TTYD used DnD mechanics, a character has to roll a 10 or higher on a 20-sided die to see if the attack connects). In context of here, what the description is essentially saying "attacks that always hit the target ignores the evasion drop". It's very jargony for something like TTYD tho, so I wouldn't mind a rewrite so you can understand it better. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 15:18, September 19, 2023 (EDT)
:I get it now, thank you. I don't hang around much in the gaming sphere outside of this website, much less in RPG-oriented communities, so I apologise for my ignorance. Still, having re-googled the term now (obviously with RPG-related keywords), I couldn't find an index that would explain this word, just some Quora answer and several mentions on gaming Reddit communities; doesn't help that my desired results were hodgepodge'd with IBM-related programming concepts. What I want to get at is that, yes, the term is indeed too jargony and should be expanded upon in the article for n00bz. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:41, September 19, 2023 (EDT)

== Mario Kart Tour's regarding "false items" ==

At first I see Builder Toad receiving Bob-omb Cannons and Explorer Toadette receiving Double Bob-ombs, which makes me a bit suspicious<br>
But when I see Pengui Yellow Toad receiving Dash Rings instead of ice Flowers, I get agitated because it does not fit Penguin's powerups, like Penguin Mario and Toadette.<br>
This also happens to Kamek when he has Cioin Box instead of Ice Flowers since he has magic, and it has sparkle trails, not to spew coins, contradicting Mario platforming games.<br>
Golfer Luigi should have used Ice Flowers like he did in Mario Golf Super Rush, and Wintertime Larry should have used Ice Flowers because his clothes were made of snowflakes.<br>
For Green Birdo, while it makes sense to have Fire Flowers just like she did in Super Mario Bros 2, it would make a bit of sense to receive Green Shells as her special item.<br>
The worst offender will be Golden Mario with Fire Flowers since it is considered a false item and it would make sense to receive a Coin Box. Coin Box makes him OP, so it would make better sense to receive Lucky 7 instead.

Bonus: Gold Dry Bowser and Gold Shy Guy get explosive items than Coin Boxes, which makes no sense

==Mario vs. Donkey Kong (GBA, Switch) vs. Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Game Boy Advance) Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)==
Why isn't it okay to call this tempalte like I did when we already did it for Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3? I don't understand the logic behind this... Do you like long ass names? I don't see how my proposal is less intuitive than yours, do you think people would seriously believe that the GBA game comes after the Switch game? there are more than 20 years between the two consoles. It's pretty clear which game is older and which game is newer. As for the "better readability", I mean, have you seen how long the name you are proposing is? --[[User:Conradd|Conradd]] ([[User talk:Conradd|talk]]) 21:20, October 23, 2023 (EDT)
:I shouldn't explain myself because it's obvious enough why the options you proposed aren't ideal, but I guess I will.<br>1. The Mario vs. Donkey Kong template should relate to both the GBA and the Switch versions of the game. This is mitigated when you put "Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)" as a header for the template, implying at a glance that the template only applies to the Switch version. No, choosing the game's title itself to link to the "main article" while linking to the Switch version through the console identifier is not a solution; readers have no way to register that difference just by sight, and there's a much-higher-than-zero chance they'd expect an article for the Nintendo Switch console when they click on a link that says "Nintendo Switch", even in the context of this game.<br>2. Arguably even less intuitive is having the game title itself formatted in plain text and expecting readers to instantly know that they're supposed to click on one of its console identifiers for the intended game version.<br>Yes, I do in fact prefer expanding upon and clarifying a notion when the alternatives are worse--as in, I prefer repeating a game's title if the template ought to link to different versions of the game in its header. I don't see how one or two rows added to a short box in service of clarification is such an eyesore. Absolutely no big deal. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 08:51, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

I had an idea that we can make a disambiguation page for non-''Super Mario'' fighters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, so that ''Super Smash Bros.'' does not take precedence over actual ''Super Mario'' appearances. For example, check the Mewtwo page. The titles for the list pages implies that they're of ''Super Smash Bros.'' content, so that's another reason why I had the idea to do disambiguation pages.

:The ''Mario'' appearances proper are already covered within Mewtwo's entry on the fighter list. "Mewtwo" should redirect to that whole entry; making a disambig is just adding unnecessary steps. The entire basis of covering these non-Mario fighters on the Mario Wiki is that you can interact with them in Smash if you play as a Mario character, so, for the time being, they're still somewhat Mario-related even solely in terms of Smash. The redirect is warranted. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:32, April 12, 2024 (EDT)
::I avoided tagging fighter redirects for deletion, when I saw the Mewtwo one was undeleted. However, the series categories need to be removed, per the result of a recent proposal. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 17:34, April 12, 2024 (EDT)
:::Ah, well, if that's what that proposal said, that's what we oughta do! I guess the Mewtwo redirect goes in the trash. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:42, April 12, 2024 (EDT)

== The cite template is great ==

If I recall, you were the one who originally proposed the Cite template? I'm just so glad that it's now become a thing, since it can help establish a universal consistency for citations around the wiki, whether optional or required (it's the former, but I still encourage others to use it). Previously, the formatting for some of the citations had been a mess on certain articles (or sometimes just a pasted url), and it helps for quicker archival so that one doesn't have to type out text like the archival date by hand.

:I don't know if I was the first one to propose it, but ye, it's pretty good. The archival aspect of it, especially so, for the reasons you stated, and I think it's the single most useful part of the template. The "deadlink" parameter, yet another useful aspect, automatically swaps the original url with the archive url to prioritize the archive if the source is deleted. Having a template in general also ensures any decisions regarding the formatting of these citations are enacted immediately. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:44, May 12, 2024 (EDT)
