Hotel Mario levels

Hi, so in addition to creating the Paper Mario: Sticker Star Scrap articles (finally), I've decided to start creating articles for levels in Hotel Mario. Since they use naming conventions of "Stage 1", "Stage 2", "Stage 3", etc., which conflict with Donkey Kong Jr.'s level names, I want to ask you: should those levels take precedence over the Hotel Mario levels, or should those titles be disambiguation pages? Thanks! ^(T|C) 02:52, 24 March 2018 (EDT)

Double RE:Scraps

Yeah, I saw your comment from the beginning. The problem is, what kind of discussion? After all, I already took part of your advice and purposefully didn't create an article on the useless block in Goomba Fortress, which is briefly a Scrap. ^(T|C) 08:09, 29 March 2018 (EDT)

Sorry for my belated response. Should I instead create a page entitled something like List of paperized Scraps in Paper Mario: Sticker Star? ^(T|C) 10:38, 31 March 2018 (EDT)

Implementation

Hi, since my technical restrictions proposal passed, would you mind adding this to MarioWiki:Naming? Feel free to pick wherever you find the section most fitting. Thanks! ^(T|C) 01:03, 6 April 2018 (EDT)

Oh, and would you also mind deleting the page when you're finished? There's not that much history to salvage. Thanks! ^(T|C) 01:05, 6 April 2018 (EDT)

Auto confirmed early

Super Mario Odyssey, I noticed, has a lot of red links. I'd like to fill in a lot of good pages that are missing. If you are pleased with my edits so far, is there any way you can get me auto-confirmed early? Tom Phan (talk) 02:56, 12 April 2018 (EDT)

Apologies, I'll try to remember to remove any unused parameters when uploading images from now on.--Jjrapper100 (talk) 18:16, 19 April 2018 (EDT)

Kremling sword class

IIRC, that's from some randomly-appearing line of text Wrinkly herself says in the game. It certainly sounds familiar... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:25, 19 April 2018 (EDT)

Question concerning proposals

[You can answer here.]

I thought I'd just ask a random sysop, since I don't want to bother the same ones too much, but anyone can answer it.

So, if I had a proposal that's past its deadline and voted in by a majority, I gather that I could just go ahead and implement it?

I feel like MarioWiki:Proposals should be more clear, since just having a lumped, unsectioned 17 point list is really detrimental to a new user trying to understand all the finer details of proposals. Particularly lacking in that list is details of how proposals are closed: there are no clear instructions on who can close a proposal and how they would go about doing it. --The Retro Gamer 23:11, 27 April 2018 (EDT) (Edited for accuracy: 23:18, 27 April 2018 (EDT))

Re: Talk page response

Sorry, I wasn't exactly sure of the rules themselves, but since there were very few other people online, I didn't want their question to end up being fully missed and wholly unanswered.Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:41, 28 April 2018 (EDT)
There's also the fact that I've basically learned "Welcome, read the rules" as an acceptable greeting due to being the greeting used in the one fully-active Discord group (and as such, one tight social group) I am in. So I didn't think of it as rude, I thought of it as normal. Sorry. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2018 (EDT)

Super Mario series enemies section

Remember when, relatively shortly after I joined, I made a section on enemies and obstacles for the Super Mario series page that went for too long, so I had to shorten it. I decided to rework it again to tell more information in less space, as seen here. Would you consider this a step in the right direction? I removed a lot of simple rehash species that were on there, like Fire Piranha Plants and the various "Big" species, moving them to the new "Relatives in the series" section; the only ones I left were Koopa Paratroopas, Paragoombas, Dry Bones, and Galoombas. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:28, 29 April 2018 (EDT)

Protection issues

Hi, I'd like to ask: is it possible to reduce the time or level of protection for Luigi's girlfriend? The page was fully protected for one month by L151 a few days back, but IMHO that big of a protection was a tad unjustified. First, the page was never protected before. Second, there were only two vandals that edited the page - a persistent user and one IP, and I feel that in this case protection is only justified if accounts and IPs from a dynamic range vandalize the article, and even then only semi-protection at this point. Third, this is their first time vandalizing, so we don't yet even know their activity level enough to establish a protection that big. That being said, the only reason I'm contacting you is because you have much less involvement than L151, which makes it easier to settle disputed actions. That being said (again), I'm asking if you'd be willing to reduce the protection level; I'd suggest semi for one or two weeks, but I'm fine if you have a better solution. Thanks! ^(T|C) 18:48, 1 May 2018 (EDT)

Taking into account their Twitter post, I'd now just recommend reduction to semi. However, I'm also suggesting that the page be regularly monitored for vandalism and fully protected for a few days where appropriate. ^(T|C) 19:58, 1 May 2018 (EDT)

Actually, yeah... you do bring up a pretty good point. I didn't realize some of the subscribers she had were autoconfirmed already. :P

I don't want another user to complain about this, so would it hurt just to change the protection reason to "Excessive vandalism by a user who asked for assistance on Twitter", or is that even possible? ^(T|C) 06:22, 2 May 2018 (EDT)

Copying information from The Cutting Room Floor

Hello. I want to ask, is it Ok to copy information from The Cutting Room Floor on the Pre-release and unused content Pages? I'm asking because i never saw someone doing that, and i want to do that, but i'm not sure if it's Ok. Yoshi Egg 1990

Picture Changes

Hello! I would like to ask, if I change pictures on a site, is there a limit of px? And should I check the "This is a minor edit" box? Thank you!--Gastar (talk) 08:45, 16 May 2018 (EDT)

FA categories

Hi, would you mind cleaning up the severe disorganization in Category:FA succession archives and Category:Unfeaturing succession archives? By cleanup, I mean removing the category at the bottom (mostly found in the categories' respective "F" columns) as being redundant, and adding the |unfeature=yes parameter to {{fa-archive}} on unfeature nominations that currently don't have them. Additionally, if you don't mind doing additional cleanup work, you could track my recent contributions and apply full protection to the nomination pages I've already fixed. Thanks! ^(T|C) 18:50, 16 May 2018 (EDT)

Wario

I'm certain I heard him say "Jawohl!" in Mario Kart 8, or else I wouldn't have added it. (ETA: IIRC it was at the four-second mark of this video.) --96.38.105.38 18:10, 19 May 2018 (EDT)

Renaming question

I have been on the Forums since March but here since 1 April, am I allowed to make a name change or do I need to wait until 1 July? White Lightning 21:02, 19 May 2018 (EDT)

After a few RE's: Identifiers

How about Mario Bros. (game), when the other Mario Bros. game is not only wholly separate, but also predates it, release-wise-if-not-conception-wise? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:43, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

Figured that would be about it, just making sure, as the specific point used for the Donkey Kong example didn't translate there. Thanks! Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:20, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

Creating userpages

Hi! I have a question, how to create userpages, I want to have a userpage now, but my account is too new to create one, when can I create one? Example (talk) 10:37, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

New account info removal

Could it be possible they're editing on mobile? I've heard tell that occasionally sections inexplicably disappear when that's done... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:48, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

That's my thoughts too. I saw it happen at least once in this wiki before. I'm not sure if a new user can communicate it properly with edit summaries and whatnot. Ray Trace^(T|C) 23:51, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

Edits on the mobile version of the site are tagged with "Mobile edit". Unless you're referring to the desktop version on mobile devices where this issue occurs? Mario JC 23:53, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

Given mobile layouts are typically very user-unfriendly, it would make sense to have switched to desktop layout. Plus, iirc, some devices are powerful enough they go to the desktop layout by default. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:56, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

Some mobile users use the desktop layout, so it won't be tagged with that. I think it's hardware-related, not browser. I need to do more research on this, however. Ray Trace^(T|C) 23:59, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

Thing is it happened twice, and about the same information. 23:59, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

I think there might have been some out-of-date revision accidents for the second one. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:02, 30 May 2018 (EDT)

Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean they were editing while the previous edit was already done, there would've been an edit conflict, and it definitely looked like it was made afterwards (with the correct "Layout" header intact). Out of curiosity, though, can anyone link me an instance where this missing-section issue has happened? Mario JC 00:48, 30 May 2018 (EDT)

:(

Aw, man, "Basement (disambiguation)" was my first page I created... Eh, wasn't that great of a page, anyway :P 09:59, 1 June 2018 (EDT)

On a different note, where did you fine those My Nintendo images for Mario Tennis Aces? My region is showing a different one. 00:37, 2 June 2018 (EDT)

Just changed my region to Australia and downloaded the sizes I wanted :D 00:58, 2 June 2018 (EDT)

RE: Spelling

Weird, i have never seen this 'red' thing... Yoshi Egg 1990

RE

So sorry about that; maybe I should have started a discussion before moving those pages. Since the situation appears to have reached its peak (especially with the Shawn case) maybe I'll bring it up with Porplemontage, since the naming policy doesn't seem to cover this scenario. ^(T|C) 11:09, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

...Yeah, you're right. Okay, I'll stop. ^(T|C) 11:25, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

To add: I was actually hoping someone like you would settle this dispute, so...non-sarcastically...thanks for doing that! Yeah, apparently I don't always make the best decisions from the start. ^(T|C) 12:04, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

Blocked

Hey I wanted to find my accounts creation date so I knew how much longer to wait, and I found myself, but I was blocked! and it said you did it, and I couldn't find anything else that said my name, and I would like to know why please Do The Mario (talk) 11:26, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

Priority question

Hi, I'd like to ask you a question about what takes priority in a scenario (don't worry, it's not the Boomer case this time around, and again, my most sincere apologies for not bothering to discuss this first). What I want to know is, should one-time human characters in the first few Mario Golf / Mario Tennis games take precedence over characters-of-the-day in certain Saturday Supercade episodes? Namely, I'm referring to Brian and Sonny. Any thoughts on the matter? ^(T|C) 09:29, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Thanks, I get around to that as soon as possible. ^(T|C) 09:55, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Frantic Fields

It's definitely a stretch to say that Frantic Fields' track is inspired by Haunted Chase, but the ball seems to be in the park. I do believe the music from Frantic Fields contains some hints from one of the tracks in DKC2, "Run, Rambi! Run", which plays when the big zinger chases you in Rambi Rumble. If you listen closely, you can hear the resemblance at some point. Would it be appropriate to mention it in DKCTF's media page? -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE 02:46, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Edit: YouTube links, specifically where the tracks start to sound like each other: Run, Rambi! Run! ; Frantic Fields -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE 02:51, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay, I'll add it to the page. -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE 03:23, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

My secret

I find the emblem in Flying Krock model, use the Paint NET, left gray texture, darkened background just leaving white and erase scribbles in Kremling jolly roger. ChristopherPAraujo (talk) 13:17, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Delete

Then you can delete! The only solution for me is wait a texture in a existing Donkey Kong game involving Kremlings. ChristopherPAraujo (talk) 22:36, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Smash image category

I'm curious, why was that deleted instead of just being moved to the new category name? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:52, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Kalimari Desert trivia

Hello. You removed my trivia about Kalimari Desert being the only Mushroom Cup track to return in the leaf cup. However, your reasoning being and I quote: "A lot of tracks have originated from one cup and reappeared in another (e.g. Koopa Troopa Beach) so this isn't noteworthy." I am aware of this although my Trivia point was that it was the only Mushroom Cup track to return in the Leaf Cup. So how would this not be noteworthy? TheIceCream (talk) 06:09, 16 June 2018 (EDT)

Purpose of the following category

Hi, is it okay if Category:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Karts gets merged into Category:Mario Kart 8 Karts without a discussion? The reason I ask is because Mario Kart 8 Deluxe only features three vehicle parts not present in the original (Inkstriker, Koopa Clown, and Splat Buggy), and I feel that that little of a change doesn't on its own warrant separate subcategories for originals/remakes. Thanks! ^(T|C) 01:40, 17 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay, thanks very much. ^(T|C) 08:20, 17 June 2018 (EDT)

I've changed my mind in favor of keeping those two categories separate. Since the other two vehicle parts I mentioned are both ATVs, is it alright if, say, Category:Mario Kart 8 Bikes, Category:Mario Kart 8 Tires, and Category:Mario Kart 8 Gliders be subcategories of Category:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, since there would be virtually zero differences otherwise? After all, Category:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Race Courses isn't separate from Category:Mario Kart 8 Race Courses. ^(T|C) 08:37, 17 June 2018 (EDT)

RE: File redirects

I would have done it later when I was on a PC (bear in mind I was on the Wii U browser, and that is downright awful for... well, just about everything, but trying to type anything especially. Same reason I left the images hanging for a while rather than putting them on a page at the time). - Reboot (talk) 05:45, 21 June 2018 (EDT)

Another page move

Hi, would you mind moving Pokémon/Merge from to User:Reboot/Pokémon/Merge from without leaving a redirect? Thanks! ^(T|C) 01:11, 22 June 2018 (EDT)

It wasn't for me personally to do - if it was, I would have put it in my userspace. (Technically, it's on Time Turner's shoulders - it was their proposal. I just want everything at least marked for merger before SSBU actually releases and people start making new pages.) - Reboot (talk) 22:58, 23 June 2018 (EDT)

Headings in quotes

Jerry

Hi, should Jerry from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door necessarily take priority over Jerry from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story? I'm just asking because an admin made Jerry from PMTTYD the primary topic back in 2015 on the basis that "it's more likely to be searched for than the other Jerry", which honestly I think is flawed, especially since both are minor characters that only have a few lines of dialogue each. What do you think? ^(T|C) 20:44, 24 June 2018 (EDT)

Would "Bob-omb" and "Magikoopa" be better identifiers since they're shorter? I think that species is a viable and in fact, preferable way to identify instead of game, but just making sure... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:35, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

Revision delete?

Hi, does this qualify for revision deletion? I'd say it's spamming at best and harrassment at worst. ^(T|C) 21:41, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Additionally...

Hi, as per this proposal (ironically related to your most recent proposal), I hope you don't mind adding the following to the list of frequently misused terms:

Outer space
"Outer space" generally refers to the open, near-empty space outside the gravitational sphere of any celestial body. However, it is misconstrued to say that every location with the comical black "starry sky" background is in outer space, as the games mostly treat it as a backdrop of some sorts, such as the case with Gravity Galaxy. To add to the illogicalities, some locations are only temporarily in outer space, such as Peach's Castle during the events of Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy. "Cosmic", on the other hand, refers to something pertaining to outer space, and should be used instead in most cases.

Feel me to reach out to me or Super Radio if you have any changes you wish to make. The proposal that dictates this (which I linked to at the beginning of this section) should also help you if I missed anything. Thanks! ^(T|C) 00:37, 29 June 2018 (EDT)

Thanks for doing that! ^(T|C) 01:17, 29 June 2018 (EDT)

My rename request

I think my rename request may of have been overlooked, I done it last night and it hasn't been looked at yet, also it is the same requested name change as my failed one, my failed one was posted too early, so I hope you can look at it. White Lightning 18:25, 1 July 2018 (EDT)

Proposal issue + what should be the identifier

Hi, should this proposal have a "keep split" option? I'm just asking because ever though the proposer pointed out that the Meta Ridley page's existence is already "against policy" as per this proposal, the proposer of that proposal treated it as if it's better off as an actual discussion over whether it stays or goes as a way of clarifying the Super Smash Bros. coverage overhaul. (At least that's what I can infer.)

Additionally, while I still have you... Since there's now a stage hazard named "fountain" in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle's Donkey Kong Adventure mode, what identifier should the existing "Fountain" page use: Fountain (place), Fountain (dome), or Fountain (world)? ^(T|C) 00:44, 4 July 2018 (EDT)

Prince Froggy

Is my edit correct? Here. I putted between After enough hits, and the part Yoshi escapes through Froggy's intestines "the stomach and the uvula flash and". Should it be edited if you check it or should we leave it like that? --83.156.220.80 07:41, 5 July 2018 (EDT)

Also, from what i saw in this page, Prince Froggy is considered as a normal Frog Pirate in the original Japanese version. --83.156.220.80 07:44, 5 July 2018 (EDT)

I edited the page again, because when you hit the uvula each hit before the last one, it only flash to white, so i edited it to make it say "flash to various colors". I think it's fine. --83.156.220.80 07:55, 5 July 2018 (EDT)

Identifier (yet again)

Hi, should Greenhouse (room) instead use the game identifier, since it could possibly refer to the three levels in Donkey Kong 3? ^(T|C) 11:36, 7 July 2018 (EDT)

Yoshi's Island Koshiki Guidebook

Hi there. Are the sprites directly ripped from the game or not? I know there a vector or pixel graphic depending on the system, but this one has a few errors of drawing. Look! One of the Piranha Plant's teeth doesn't look like in-game. The Shy Guy's mouth, one of Dizzy Dandy's teeth, Eggo-Dil's cheeks have a round shape instead of a swirl one, also, some pixels don't have the same size in-game, and some are disproportionnal here, a bit misplaced. Are they redrawn from the game or ripped? --83.156.220.80 02:39, 18 July 2018 (EDT)
