Dr. Shroob links here.  I really don't think they should.  On a side note, does this mean that Toadsworth had the same happen to them?  I highly doubt that, considering there are tones of Shroobsworths.  I don't think he's on the list, but it's a fact that you might want to consider in regards to this article.-[[User:Stumpers|Stumpers]]
:I am pretty sure that Shroobified does not refer to Shroob-like creatures, only those turned into Shroob mushrooms and areas changed to be covered with purple mushrooms. This is the only way the characters in the game use this term. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]


:Good point.  Actually, I'm not sure if this should be an article at all.  It seems like it was just some characters saying stuff, really.  Maybe as a condition, though.  What do you think? [[User:Stumpers|Stumpers]]


== WOW!!!!!! ==
::Well, either a section about this could be added to the Shroob article, or this can remain its own page. It is relevant information, and should be placed somewhere. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
I found a HUMONGUS amount of Mario merchandise pics, so expect lots of new merchandise soon!


== Too big... ==
== The Term ==
I found a really neat Mario Bros. pinball game pic, but it more than exeeds the maximum size! Should I still upload it?


== .GIF to .PNG? ==
This question is out of curiosity, but is "Shroobified" an official Nintendo term? I mean, I was typing up the Shroob Castle article and used the word "Shroobified", thinking that it would get corrected to a different word, and then this article was created. At the least we should put the conjecture template. --[[User:Kelt|King Piranha Plant]] 11:01, 21 October 2006 (EDT)
I've found a gold mine of cover photos and summaries of the Super Mario Bros. book series, but all the pictures are .gif files! Is there any way that I can change them to .jpg or .png files?
This is the site: [http://www.smbhq.com/users/comics/]
:You can use .gif files on this wiki. Instead of typing .png or .jpg, just type .gif in its place. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]


== Name Changes ==
:The term Shroobified is used by characters in the game. It is not conjectural. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
#The page [[Rowf and Ruff]] needs to be changed to Rowf and R'''h'''uff.
#There are two [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]] pages. One only had a few sentences which I erased and the other is one I made complete. That link on [[Tubba Blubba]]'s page takes you to the blank page. Could somebody delete the blank one?
#This is the page I made: [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php/Tubba_Blubba%E2%80%99s_Castle]
#The [[Peach Doll]] ''still'' needs to be changed to Dolly, and the [[Sunken Ship]] ''still'' needs to be changed to Sunken Ghost Ship.
::Tubba Blubba is already solved, but I took care of the other three. For the record, you could have moved those pages. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 15:31, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
 
== [[MarioWiki:PipeProject/Suggestions|PipeProject Suggestions]] ==
I would like to point out the new sub-page of '''PipeProjects''', ''suggestions''. If you are unsure if an idea of a project of yours would get contributors, you can add it here, using a simple format, and contributors will (or hopefully will!) let you know if it's a good idea. You're free to create a PipeProject at any time. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 17:34, 17 August 2006 (EDT)
 
== Sub-Species ==
Should the creatures who are sub-species have the sub-species ''and'' species category on their page?
:No, when we did Luigi's Mansion's ghosts, a few of them were derived from the main ghosts, and we only categorized them as sub-species. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 00:53, 19 August 2006 (EDT)
 
== 2000 Articles ==
There are now over 2000 pages that are legitimate, article pages. There are over 5000 total pages, including MarioWiki, MediaWiki, Help, Talk, Template, and Category pages.

:::Figured it out.

Revision as of 15:06, October 21, 2006

Dr. Shroob links here. I really don't think they should. On a side note, does this mean that Toadsworth had the same happen to them? I highly doubt that, considering there are tones of Shroobsworths. I don't think he's on the list, but it's a fact that you might want to consider in regards to this article.-Stumpers

I am pretty sure that Shroobified does not refer to Shroob-like creatures, only those turned into Shroob mushrooms and areas changed to be covered with purple mushrooms. This is the only way the characters in the game use this term. -- Son of Suns
Good point. Actually, I'm not sure if this should be an article at all. It seems like it was just some characters saying stuff, really. Maybe as a condition, though. What do you think? Stumpers
Well, either a section about this could be added to the Shroob article, or this can remain its own page. It is relevant information, and should be placed somewhere. -- Son of Suns

The Term

This question is out of curiosity, but is "Shroobified" an official Nintendo term? I mean, I was typing up the Shroob Castle article and used the word "Shroobified", thinking that it would get corrected to a different word, and then this article was created. At the least we should put the conjecture template. --King Piranha Plant 11:01, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

The term Shroobified is used by characters in the game. It is not conjectural. -- Son of Suns
