Titles

Hello, unless you knew already but forgot at points, remember to italicise any game titles you name yourself, since a few of your edits were missing them. Mario JC 06:29, August 7, 2021 (EDT)

I just recently learned about them when editing some articles, so I sometimes forget to add them. I'll remember adding them next time.WildWario (talk) 06:35, August 7, 2021 (EDT)

New stub articles

One or more pages that you have recently created have been deleted or marked as a stub article (Balmy Dunes). Please consider the following ideas and suggestions when expanding/creating an article: Before saving a new page, be sure that you have put as much effort and information in the article as you can. Make sure that the page follows all of the rules that are outlined in the Manual of Style. Perhaps upload a few images that can be used on the article. Please don't take this notice as a dejection; this is just an informative notice and we encourage you to keep contributing.

Two more things:

• Please don't create a new stub article and mark it with {{construction}}, either to finish it yourself later or for others to finish it for you. New articles should start with sufficient information off the bat.
• Remember to add navigation templates and categories at the bottom of the article; they're the text that looks like this:

{{Mario Golf Course List}}
{{MGSR}}
[[Category:Deserts]]
[[Category:Mario Golf: Super Rush Courses]]

(If you're not sure which templates and categories to include, look at other, similar articles.)

RE: YCW Fly Guy situation

If an enemy's appeared in too many levels to count, there's really no need to list them. Just saying "Many levels" is fine. Mario JC 06:38, August 12, 2021 (EDT)

Media files

Thanks for those uploads. It's recommended on Help:Media that a fade-out is applied at the end, so if possible, could you do that for future uploads?

Also, please remember to italicise titles (even in image captions), you're still forgetting them in some of your edits. Mario JC 23:08, August 12, 2021 (EDT)

Okay, but do you have any recommended softwares or websites that can create fade-outs? WildWario (talk) 23:36,August 12, 2021 (EDT)

Audacity is a good one; you just highlight the part of the clip (preferably about the last 2 seconds), then Effect -> Fade Out. Mario JC 00:00, August 13, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Luigi (Painter)

Yes, Luigi (Painter)'s outfit specifically first appeared in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, but is based on Mario's painter outfit from Super Mario Odyssey, which in turn is based on Mario's painter outfit from the Mario Artist series, so it should at least be mentioned that Luigi (Painter)'s outfit is based on Mario's painter outfit from those games.

RE: Return of the Vandals

They're not the same, it's because of a popular Internet meme from The Simpsons called "Sneed's Feed & Seed (Formerly Chuck's)". Mario JC 06:04, August 30, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Underwater

I'm not sure what such a page would include to be useful. If it's the layout of all of the underwater sections, they're already covered on their respective course articles. It'd be too small as just a list of courses with underwater segments when it's better to just mark which courses have them on the main game pages. Mario JC 08:42, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

MarioWiki:Warning policy#Registered users, rule 2, 4th bullet point - They're already on a last warning, so a reminder was unnecessary. Even if they didn't receive a last warning, since they were already reminded about this issue before, the next step would be a warning. Mario JC 21:59, September 7, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Map Exploring

Please be patient, not everyone has the time to answer right away. I don't see why we need to note what's under the course; a lot of games have empty space when going out of bounds because players wouldn't see what's outside of the world when playing normally.

I would say it's an underwater section if the propeller appears on the kart. Mario JC 08:52, September 13, 2021 (EDT)

Moving files

After moving a file, make sure any articles that still use the old file name are changed to the new file name, then the old file name should be marked for deletion with {{delete}} since we don't want file redirects. You can find which articles still link it in the "What links here" link under "tools" on the left navigation bar. Mario JC 21:38, September 14, 2021 (EDT)

RE: User sub-pages

No, subpages that don't serve the wiki should be kept on your main userpage. Mario JC 23:39, September 14, 2021 (EDT)

It looks to me like they're keeping track of content from MKT and not created purely for recreational purposes, so I guess they're fine. Mario JC 00:48, September 15, 2021 (EDT)

Series

When you're starting new sections for series, since "series" is not part of the title, it shouldn't be italicised, so it should be formatted as:

===''Mario Party'' series===

not

===''Mario Party series''===

RE: Pipe Plaza

You most certainly can write New Articles! Simply write the first edition of your section, follow the instructions in the read box on this page, and send your application in to our statistics manager. We'll be looking forward to receiving your application! Hooded Pitohui (talk) 12:07, September 19, 2021 (EDT)

You aren't bothering anyone. On the contrary, I appreciate the honesty. Sending it via Google Docs is quite fine. Please send the document to mwshroom@gmail.com We'll take it as an application from there. Hooded Pitohui (talk) 12:12, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

RE:Cars and Trains

I would definitely count the Sydney Sprint trains—alongside the characters sitting in it—as course elements, since they help relay various things on the track that affect the drivers’ racing. I wouldn’t perceive the Berlin Byways cars in the same way, however, since they are generic objects whose only function (so far) is to prop up ramps for drivers to drive off of, while standing perfectly still. Though, they would warrant a mention on the Car (obstacle) page should they display striking similarities with cars that acted as obstacles in previous Mario Kart games, i.e. if they share the same model and such. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 20:19, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

No problem! -- KOOPA CON CARNE 20:56, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

I seem to have misremembered how cars actually work in MKT. For some reason, I had this impression that they were holding up ramps, when in reality, they are the ramps. With a real gameplay functionality, and a precedent of similarly-looking cars appearing as Mario Kart obstacles, I think it’s only fair to treat them as much of a course element as magic carpets or Thwomps are. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 21:13, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

Mario Kart Tour Twitter Images

The images that are posted on the Mario Kart Tour Twitter are in jpg format and should not be converted to png because it goes against the image use policy, which states that images should be uploaded to the wiki in the format that they were found. In addition, the images should be uploaded in the size that they appear in when clicking on the image in one of the posts, (this one, for example, which is usually 2,400 × 1,350 pixels), instead of the smaller thumbnail size. I replaced the ones you uploaded already, but please keep this in mind for any future Twitter uploads. LuigiMaster123 14:32, September 21, 2021 (EDT)

RE: WarioWare Twisted microgame

I've already added my thoughts on the talk page and yeah, I think it is since it's the same gameplay concept, just with extra microgames. Mario JC 23:54, September 21, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Mii

I don't have the game either, but I don't think they're playable outside of story mode.

There's a lot on my userpage that's often outdated; it's not a priority to keep it up to date but I do when I have time and feel like it. Mario JC 02:23, September 24, 2021 (EDT)

MPS board images

Where did you get those board images from Mario Party Superstars? You didn't provide a source for them. 18:31, September 26, 2021 (EDT)

RE: messages

I put that large bolded text at the top of my page for a reason. I don't care for RE: messages and I'd prefer it if you (and other people) didn't send me them. I'd rather you reply to me on your own talk page instead. When users keep replying back and forth on each other's talk pages like that, it fragments discussions. 20:25, September 26, 2021 (EDT)

Oh, OK. I'll remember that. WildWario (talk) 20:31, September 26, 2021 (EDT)

Image source

You forgot to source your image again. 20:50, September 26, 2021 (EDT)

Proposal deadlines and extensions

See proposal rule 3 - proposal deadlines occur at the end of the day (according to GMT), not the beginning. Also, per rule 10, the three-vote margin for two-option proposals only applies when there are more than ten votes. Your proposal only has seven, so if it remains as-is it will not be extended. 00:34, October 3, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, but when it ends, what should I do? WildWario (talk) 02:35, October 3, 2021 (EDT)

When a proposal ends, here's what you do:

1. Call the proposal. Replace {{TPP}} with {{SettledTPP}} And add Template:ProposalOutcome beneath it. The template page will tell you how to use it. (Example)
2. Archive the proposal. List it on the talk page proposal archive (linked on the proposals page) using Template:TPPArchive. Again, the template's page will tell you how to use it. (Example)
3. If the proposal fails, you're done. If the proposal passes, then either make the proposed changes or add it to the unimplemented proposals list (just copy and paste the markup from the TPP Archive, replace the number with "NA", remove the color, and add the year) until they are. (Example)

RE: Pipe Plaza (Cont.)

I'm glad to hear that work on New Articles is going well! And, yes, you may also send in an application for your Fun Stuff section (it sounds like a cool idea) at the same time. We'll process both applications together. Good luck, and do let me know if you need any help! Hooded Pitohui (talk) 17:17, October 3, 2021 (EDT)

Ah, I'm very sorry to hear about the computer issue you encountered. Perhaps in a future month things will work out better? Also, I deeply apologize that I did not see your application come in. I did not receive a notification that an email had been received, but I should have been more diligent in checking. I will send your application along to the staff right now to correct this, and will ensure the review process is expedited so it makes it into issue 175. It looks like a well-crafted section, and I'm excited to see it in Fun Stuff! You will hear back from us on Friday. Hooded Pitohui (talk) 13:13, October 9, 2021 (EDT)
