 There is one thing that everyone sees when they enter the MarioWiki: The main page. The page is organized and includes trivia, the best articles on the site, news etc. However, under the Did You Know? template there is a large amount of empty space, a perfect place for a new template. The template that I am proposing is a template that, whenever a new page is created, the template will be updated containing a short 1-3 sentence paragraph summarizing the start of the page, preferably took directly from the page. The template would be called {{fake link|New Pages}}. [[User Talk:Porplemontage#Main page template|This idea was approved by Porplemontage]]. This template would be a auto-comfimed only regularly updated template like the {{tem|News}} template where, whenever a new page is published, a brief summery with a link to the article will be added as the top bullet, as shown above. The rules of this template would be the following:
 *When a new page is published, a brief 1-3 sentence paragraph summarizing the start of the page, preferably took directly from the start of the page, will be used as a bullet point on the template. (Model A only) The page's main image will be pictured in a maximum 150px image.

+== Why does the search function suck? ==
+I have noticed that the search function on MarioWiki really doesn't work very well. Or, at least, it doesn't function like most other sites' search functions and ends up usually not being helpful. For example, I searched for "Mario Party 3 Credits" once because at the time, I couldn't remember the exact title of the page. What are the results of this search?
+*[[Mario]]
+*[[Super Mario Galaxy]]
+*[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]
+*[[Luigi]]
+*[[List of items]]
+*[[Donkey Kong]]
+*[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]
+...etc, etc, just a long list of popular, or often visited, pages that just happen to contain "Mario" within them somewhere. This doesn't help at all. I find that nine times out of ten, the pages for Mario, Luigi, DK and for some reason "List of Items" will always be at the top of the search results. So, what's wrong with it? [[User:Shadow2|Shadow2]] ([[User talk:Shadow2|talk]]) 06:18, September 10, 2020 (EDT)
+:Well, the credits page does not actually have the word "credits" anywhere in the page. So that will definitely play a part in search never bringing that up. [[List of Mario Party 3 staff]]. {{User:Paper Jorge/sig}}
+::When you search, the results will only list pages containing all the words in your search. To avoid the type of results you got, try searching "Mario Party 3" in quotes, without "credits" because that word isn't present (we use "staff"). You'll then see all pages containing Mario Party 3 in the title.
+::{{User:Shokora/sig}} 07:08, September 10, 2020 (EDT)
+:::I understand your points, but I still think there's something not quite right. I'm comparing this to search functions on other Wikis, including Wikipedia, and none of those wikis will ''always'' spit out the same list of articles if it can't find one with a matching title. On other wikis if you search for something it'll give you stuff that's at least a little close, but this wiki will always give me "Mario" "Luigi" "List of items" every single time. This gives the impression to the user (me) that the search function is broken. You go to the Zelda wiki or something, and "Link" doesn't show up at the top of every single possible search result. [[User:Shadow2|Shadow2]] ([[User talk:Shadow2|talk]]) 19:46, September 10, 2020 (EDT)
+::::What would be a good search function (to me) would be a thing that you could toggle in the settings. The thing that you could toggle would be acrually two things: The ability to search for just the phrase and not it jumbled up, and the ability to be able to search d and have articles that included d '''also''' as part of a word than just seperately. By the way, it was really hard to phrase this. {{User:DarkNight/sig}} 19:58, September 10, 2020 (EDT)

+==Citation format==
+Hey fellas, didn't know where to ask. We borrow a citation format from Wikipedia, but there is a huge discrepancy on the entire wiki on whether citations go after the period, or before the period. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#How_to_place_an_inline_citation_using_ref_tags Wikipedia places the citations after the period.] Our official [[MarioWiki:Citations]] page tells us to put it before the period. Most our articles have the citations after the period which is supposedly wrong (don't believe me? look up any major article, [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Bowser]] and just CTRL+F [1] [2]). Our sysops have been enforcing the citation before the period on new articles, as I've noticed Alex95 doing when I was writing the [[Steve (Minecraft)]] article. But it's causing a major discrepancy and I just wanted to bring it up. Personally, I think it should be after the period, it looks neater, but whatever is chosen, there is no standard right now. {{User:Paper Jorge/sig}}

+== Non-Japanese/English voice actors in infoboxes ==
+I'm not sure if this was already discussed among the admins, but I think this should be discussed publicly. There was an anon adding names of voice actors for characters originating from other franchises such as Sonic in languages besides Japanese and English. My question is should we keep those or remove them. Personally, my concern about this practise is that it's not really that consistent with the rest of the wiki, with every other infobox listing English/Japanese actors only (which is possible could be the only voice actors), and I feel it clutters them a bit. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 19:49, February 9, 2021 (EST)
+:We talked about it on the admin and the discord and found the 3DS version of M&S 2016 does have dubbed voice clips for languages beside English and Japanese (specifically  French, Spanish, German and Italian,), so the voice actor information warrants to be listed ''somewhere'' - for the characters that appear in that, game for those languages.
+Now the following two thoughts (these are not admin teams concensus)
+-For the sake of avoiding clutter, I feel infoboxes should only list the source language of a given media, and English. If the source language is English, then only that. <br>
+-Information about dubs beside English and Japanese ''should'' be mentioned somewhere. There's no reason to. My favoured approach would be in the "List of portrayals" sections seen on some character pages. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 21:14, February 9, 2021 (EST)
+:I agree with this. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:43, February 9, 2021 (EST)
+:: Seconded; if anything in terms of the infobox for character articles, I think it should be listing the English voice artists only.

+== April Fools 2022 idea. ==
+Since 2022 will mark the 30th anniversary of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', the first appearance of Wario, we should briefly turn this wiki into the Super Wario Wiki. [[User:DK Fan|DK Fan]]
+:The staff have already decided on what April Fools will be themed on this year. You'll see when the time comes. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 20:46, March 10, 2022 (EST)
+== Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ==
+Um, is there any way to update the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass Course info with it being released in the US of A as well? Because I was able to purchase it off the eShop. [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 08:45, March 18, 2022 (EDT)
+== Considering ==
+I've been considering to create a SSB proposal where instead of asking to further simplify and/or delete, it allow for allowing more SSB coverage. I thought about this a bit... The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series title is a pun on ''Super Mario Bros.''.... in the English language, that is, and while it's not the case in Japanese, this is still an English-speaking wiki & many are familiarized with Mario being the flagship of not only Nintendo but the main representative of the overall SSB series, especially the earlier installments with fewer third-party characters. In this regard I consider ''Super Smash Bros.'' a "related series" to the ''Mario'' franchise (whereas Zelda & Kirby, for example, are obviously their own thing). I just wanted to get feedback on this idea for a proposal before putting it into practice. It's also the main resource for casual SSB players not only in NIWA but online in general. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 10:18, April 12, 2022 (EDT)
+:''Smash'' coverage is a [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/56|majorly polarizing]] aspect of this wiki, so if you're going to seriously suggest that we undo all that progress we've made toward limiting our ''Smash'' coverage in favor of treating the series as full-on ''Mario'' titles and fully covering it then you'd better be ready for the floodgates to open. I, for one, vehemently oppose. I'd rather do the exact opposite and get rid of our non-''Mario'' coverage of ''Smash'' (or spin it off to a new wiki or something). I posted several comments on that proposal I just linked explaining why, but I think [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/56#Glowsquid's_comment|Glowsquid's comment]] sums it up better. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 11:06, April 12, 2022 (EDT)
+::I mean I have relocated a lot of the content elsewhere (user page could point in the right direction), but I'm infamous around NIWA, so that's a problem when it comes to directly connecting it to Mario Wiki. Know what I mean? [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 11:20, April 12, 2022 (EDT)
+:::Can't say I do know what you mean about your alleged "infamy". It's not a good excuse for dumping the content here regardless. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 12:39, April 12, 2022 (EDT)
+::::Yeah I just meant if the SSB coverage issue were brought up again, the current solution to it might not be ideal as it not a full replication of the Mario Wiki style. This is because it's a Miraheze wiki (I can't afford to host wikis anymore) and I don't plan to move it off or try & have it inducted in NIWA or be hosted by Grifkuba (long story). That's why I figured the representation of casual SSB within NIWA would mainly be done from the Mario Wiki itself.

+== Film infobox ==
+Hey, I think it's time we develop an infobox for movies, with the upcoming Mario movie and whatnot. I would make it myself but I get a little confused by how to make a template.

+== That editing field... ==
+I think several of us agree that the background we're using for editing is.... not the greatest. There has been proposed changes to it in our Discord channel, such as changing the images or removing it all together and simply having a blank background. I don't think it hurts to have a bit of flavor, but I wonder what images we should settle on before we fire a proposal. I also decided to at least have a discussion here just so people without a Discord and those editing the wiki DO get a chance to discuss any changes and whatnot. There are several group images I like to share below.
+;Image 1
+This is a good one since all major series stars are here. There's one issue: there's no alpha channel. ([https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Koopa_con_Carne&diff=3599149&oldid=3581836 Yes Mario and Waluigi, I know you're disappointed, but don't blame Koopa con Carne this time, blame Nintendo]) However I do think we can resolve this easily, doesn't seem like a difficult job to remove it; we'll probably be editing the image anyway to wash it out for the sake of good contrast with what's more important, the functionality of the editing field). Other issues do include lack of bigger players like Daisy, Rosalina, and the powerups (but to be fair, we already have powerups scattered on the sidebar anyway). I would go for this one, but I'd really like Rosalina and Daisy on there. Can't have everything.

+;Image 2
+This one is good too since it encompasses <s>the entire playable cast of the initial release of Strikers Battle League minus Donkey Kong</sub></s> a rich line up of Mario characters and powerups, but there's one issue: there's no alpha channel. Also, the lack of Donkey Kong should be an issue because we do cover the DK series in full so I feel Donkey Kong should have to be here. I figure a mockup would look pretty similar to the first attempt, so I'm not going to attempt it here.
+<br>
+[[File:Mario characters group artwork.png|800px]]
+;Image 3
+And this last one does have the big benefit of an alpha channel, but it's held back by a more limited cast with no Wario despite their series being prominent part of MarioWiki.
+<br>
+[[File:Mario group 2D.png|800px]]
+As for the future, well, there might be new an improved group art, but as far as goes, the 2D stuff should be more future-proof than 3D. We really shouldn't be using GCN-era renders though, especially when those three images don't even belong in the same game as each other, and one isn't a stock image of Mario, but clearly identified as artwork from 2000s. Thanks, FLUDD.
+Anyway, before I try carrying out a proposal, I'd like to see any more candidates for an editing field, and we can narrow down to a few, if any, so we don't overwhelm voters with all these options. Also suggestions for adjustments to the image is fine before I file it for a proposal. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 03:51, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+===Comments for editing field===
+Image 3 definitely {{User:NatsMario2011/sig}} 03:55, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+:Why do you think so? {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 03:55, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+:: Because it looks pretty {{User:NatsMario2011/sig}} 03:58, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+:::But it doesn't have WAAAAALuigi. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 04:11, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+I'm of the sentiment that having an editing background is pretty pointless, particularly because any images would need to be transparent hard enough just to permit the editing text to be visible at all times. It just wouldn't look good to see, and as a result I don't see a reason to have another editing background that will have to be adjusted and be very faint to see. That being said, I think Image 1 looks the best, as it contains the primary cast of ''Mario''-related characters. {{User:PanchamBro/sig}} 04:14, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+:I like it because it adds a subtle accent (similar to the background in our proposals-space, as tacky as that one is) and it does help distinguish the field from the rest of the interface a bit. Our wiki looks, admittedly, plain and minimalist at points, but maybe an accent here will help it keep it a little more unique compared to other wikis aesthetics-wise. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 04:19, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+::Now I changed my mind image 2 is good because of [[Mario Strikers: Battle League]] {{User:NatsMario2011/sig}} 04:21, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+I think Image 2 is pretty good, since it contains most of the major characters and enemies of the franchise, though I can rarely even see that edit background image. Most of the time, it's blocked by a ton of words. {{User:WildWario/sig}} 04:33, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+:It's definitely a good lineup but it just irritates me that DK is missing, and DK content takes up a big chunk of the wiki. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 04:37, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
+I'm personally in the "we don't need one at all" camp, but I'd prefer image 1. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:02, May 30, 2022 (EDT)
