On the niwa section on the sidebar to the left of the wiki there is a link to the Metroid Wiki, however on the Main Hub for the niwi site the Metroid Wiki isn't mentioned there does it still belong here?

== Image overuse? == | == Image overuse? == | ||
I've noticed that, especially with characters, images are used as often as possible, regardless of their relevancy. I think that there should be something done to edit this down. Images should only be used if they are addressing something in the article's contents. To use Bowser as an example, we see a section on his common sense accompanied by Bowser in front of gold, with a caption reading that he is typically lacking in common sense. What does Bowser having money and roaring have to do with his common sense? Personally, I would think that someone who is that rich would be much more likely to have common sense in abundance. Also, I've found that several images are used multiple times in the article. I understand that the Mario Wiki does not follow the same rules that Wikipedia must follow, but restraint never hurt anyone. - [[User:NARCE|NARCE]] 17:17, 13 April 2010 (EDT) | I've noticed that, especially with characters, images are used as often as possible, regardless of their relevancy.

<s>lulz ok wut?</s> In seriousness, the reason we have all this DK info is because we consider the Donkey Kong series (as well as the Yoshi series and Wario series) as extensions of the Marioverse.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this. Resizing images to a size bigger than their original size does not appear to work anymore; see most of the Game Boy ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''-related articles for examples, namely the section in [[Poison Mushroom]], where this results in an image caption being severely cut off. Oddly enough, this only seems to be the case for images with captions.

I'm a big fan of the Toad Brigade, but their articles have been widely ignored. There are a lot of details missing, and the pictures are terrible. Their only good picture is on [[Banktoad]]'s article, and can someone please find some good pictures for the rest of them? The red toad's pic is the worst, and I appreciate that his headlamp obscures the camera in [[Super Mario Galaxy]], but I think it's alright in [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]. I'd like to do it myself, but I always do something wrong when I try to upload pimages; it never works for me. Thanks. {{User:Supershroom/sig}} | |||
:This should go on the Toad Brigade article. Ask it there. And what do you mean you do something wrong? You can improve if you state your problem :) {{User:BabyLuigiOnFire/sig}} | |||
I did, I only posted my request here as well because I thought it would get more notice. Anyway, it looks someone's replied there. Mabye someone will change it soon. If not, I might have a go.
