Ha ha! I chose 777 because is is both the number of God and considered 'lucky'. Hey, if you need simple help, I may be able to help you. But you may be better off contacting an administrator or bureaucrat. DarkBowserBIS.pngDarkBowser777(talk)Dreamy Bowser idle.png 20:25, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

RE: Trivia

It's not that trivia is outlawed on the wiki, it's just where possible we do try to incorporate trivia into the main body of the article. I do apologise if my summary came off bad or rude towards you. Personally, I felt the Super Mario RPG part fitted well in the intro, hence why I thought it should stay there. But in all honesty, the second point probably is better of as a trivia point. Yoshi876 (talk)

RE: Spotlight

Will certainly take a look at including Skillit in a future edition, thanks for the suggestion. As for the Oxford comma, do you have a forum account? If you do, then I'd suggest starting a discussion here. If not, just let me know, and I'll start it for you. Yoshi876 (talk)

No worries, I'll start a discussion soon for you. Yoshi876 (talk)

Shiny enemies

In regards to this proposal, may I ask why you support giving the paper enemies separate articles but not the shiny enemies? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 17:58, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

May I ask why splitting the shiny variants would be too much? Keep in mind we have already split pages like Gritty Goomba and Gritty Goomba, among others, due to the two species having different appearances and different stats. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 19:03, 15 September 2017 (EDT)
We don't necessarily need a monolithic, set-in-stone policy page to decide how things work; a policy page won't be able to cover every single nuance in the games, especially as the franchise comes up with new ideas and throws new gimmicks at us. At the same time, through proposals like these, we can create a precedent that can then be followed for future articles. Proposals give us freedom that a policy page may not give us. With that in mind, we've already had proposals that decided to not merge the Gritty Goombas and not merge the "R" version of enemies, so I don't see why this should be any different.
