Pipe Plaza

What happened to it? Was it replaced by The 'Shroom? ^Plumber

In some ways the Trouble Center is a part of what it was supposed to be, but definitely not the 'Shroom. A real community center where there's a collaboration to improve an article, users can post up notices for PipeProjects or other things, and important help links. Here's the collapsed project intact. It was never meant to be a current news thing. Wa _T^C_@^Y 00:08, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

The current news thing was my other great idea, thank you. Pipe Plaza is not collapsed... Its on hiatus. Saudy^Talk!

Collapsed doesn't imply hiatus. The project can be brought back anytime if there's support (this time, I don't want a parade of responses like UserScore). Wa _T^C_@^Y 00:41, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

But a parade/slew of constuctive edits on the Plaza is greatly welcomed. Saudy^Talk!

Why'd it stop??? It looks amazing! I can't believe I've never been there. Max2

Knowledge was suppressed because it was my ultimate brainchild. Its a conspiracy, I tell ya'. Saudy^Talk!

By the time you joined Max the project was in hiatus and removed from the sidebar. Wa _T^C_@^Y 16:37, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Anyway, its under construction, and i'm working on it now. Saudy^Talk!

Too bad you're too busy with all the other stuff, Waysh. I'll be in charge of Pipe Plaza. You can stear clear, no need to worry. Saudy^Talk!

oh. so, It'll be running again soon??? Max2 yipee!!! and, are you calling me new??? I joined well over 2 months ago!!!

It was suppressed a good six, Tumble. Saudy^Talk!

oh. well, uh... I'll be the assistanty-guy!!! I know lotsa stuff that needs fixin', and artcles I know nothin' about that are about 7 senteces long, and deserve 12... Max2 can I???

Whats the pipe plaza?

--Super paper luigi 16:46, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Its God on Earth. Saudy^Talk! Just kiddin'.... Its a community portal I made a while back. Saudy^Talk!

Community portal eh? WHAT THE HECK IS A COMMUNITY PORTAL?!?!?

--Super paper luigi 16:51, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

oh. well, uh... I'll be the assistanty-guy!!! I know lotsa stuff that needs fixin', and artcles I know nothin' about that are about 7 senteces long, and deserve 12... Max2 can I???

You know my demands. I want that one thing, a getaway car, and the letter E stricken from the English language. Other than that.... sure.. Mada Mada Dane...

W007 W007!!! YA RLY 7H3 P1P3 P/A2A 15 A6A|\|D0N3D (Yeah Really. The Pipe Plaza is Abandoned; for those idiots who don't know L337) Max2

um... If no one else is gonna start it soon, can a sysop add it back to the sidebar, and I will start it. Max2

It isn't sidebar material yet. Click this link. MarioWiki:Pipe PlazaSaudy^Talk!

um... it's protected. Max2

Observant. You edit the templates, not the actual page.Saudy^Talk!

um... templates??? Max2

Can this go on the site notice?Saudy^Talk!

yeah. The 'Shroom isn't "hot off the press" anymore. Max2

Its quite cold. Shall I change it?Saudy^Talk!

Y-E-S. YES YES YES. Max2

I need more than Max's approval.Saudy^Talk!

I'd be willing to join (again) if this picks up again. Phoenix Rider

Can I make the cool chartey thingey??? Max2

It's called a template, and you'll have to ask HK. Phoenix Rider

About the sitenotice. MM, what do you think?Saudy^Talk!

No, the Support thingey!!! Max2

If it'll attract more people to this project, go ahead. Phoenix Rider

How do you make a template?-- Aipom --

[1] Someone get the shroombox to do that, like the signpost-subscription.Saudy^Talk!

I'm in. ^Plumber

Links

Why aren't The 'Shroom and Pipe Plaza linked from the main page?
I am Confused 22:18, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Why would they be?Saudy^Talk!

They are now. ^{Plumber, I think PipeProjects should be on the sidebar though}

Orphaned Pages

Um, Passport+ and that weird block aren't pages. So why are they there? ^Plumber

glitches. Max2 (talk)

glitches?

--Great Gonzo 14:11, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

yes. Passport+ and %$tm-Whatever block are glitches. Max2 (talk)

... so there's no way to get rid of them?

--Great Gonzo 14:36, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Nope. Not for now, anyway.Saudy^Talk!

actually i got rid of Passport+ as a orphan, i posted a link on my talk page...

--Great Gonzo 14:49, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Ah...... I was considering something like that. I knew it would fix the problem, but I just couldn't bring myself to fix a glitch.Saudy^Talk!

I can't get rid of the other one though...

--Great Gonzo 14:52, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

That article that you pretty much call them glitches, I was the one who tried to created the article for the Gaddgets section; unfortunately it backfired so it is renamed as Passport Plus but with the original name. :( RAP...

Actually, the weird block has 3 links: one from Confused's userpage, one from Smiddle's userpage, and one here, which a sysop'll have to remove. If we remove the links, hopefully it'll be gone. ^Plumber

Super Mario Bros. Stamps

Hey, guys. I found this article at 1up.com. It tells about a series of legal Japanese stamps themed after Super Mario Bros. sprites. Do they warrent an article? If so, let me know and I'll write the article and upload the image. --Stumpers

Sure, hit it here! I'll never forget this day when the stamps are Marioized all over!!! I wish I had some... RAP...

The only issue is which category they fall in. I guess it meets the borderlines of Merchandise. Wa _T^C_@^Y 22:06, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

I don't see why it wouldn't fall under merchandise. -- Chris 22:45, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Hmmm... that's probably the closest category. I don't know the rules of that section, though. Is there a page of multiple items this should go on? I've seen that done for things like fast food toys and all that... Let me know! --Stumpers

No more Orphaned Pages!

Yay! We did it! Except for that weird block... ^Plumber

yeah...that weird block...I will figure out how to get rid of IT! (somehow...)

Great Gonzo

How badly do we want this gone..?Saudy^Talk!

I wanna nuke this page back to the stone age :P

Great Gonzo

Let's call... wikipedia. They have like Gurus and stuff.Saudy^Talk!

'K

Great Gonzo

My guess is the page had a link to something else that redirected back to the same page (round trip). -- Chris 17:23, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

According to my research, someone created and moved the ! Block page or the ? Block page, but the page created a glitch. This is similar to the moving glitch with RAP on Passport Plus+. This is what you should do: Create the 媻 Block page, move the info to another page (without a punctuation mark), then delete both the redirect and the fake article. That should take care of the problem.
I am Confused 17:40, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

The only person who moved ? Block was *checks*....me....oops......now that I think about it, I remember that page showing up....-- Chris 18:50, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Son of Suns executed the procedure well, except that he moved the page to an article with a ! at the end. Try again.

Seizure!!

I don't know what the heck just happened, but while I was looking at the Bone Dragon Pit article there appeared a black and white flashing advertising (one of the ones that appears on the right). I don't know if that was an glitch or something, but that nearly like gave me sizures.

Good thing I was alert, and quickly exited the window to not look at the flashing patterns but I was wondering what that flashing light was. Was it a glitch in my computer? Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

• It's not a glitch, I went to the page and the first thing I saw was that flash. It's some dungeon-dragon-esqe online RPG that makes it flashy to "attract" viewers. I don't know much about advertising, so I don't know if any sysops can take it out. I think this is dangerous to have on the site. That's just me. Mariofan132 at 10:07 AM
