Retconning controversy

Argh, I hate it when people try to say things are being retconned in the series. It disrupts and breaks the continuity of the games in the Mario franchise. What do you think? Lcrossmk8 (talk) 23:06, 28 January 2018 (EST)

I don't see the retconning. Captain Goomba and the Mario Bros interact with Spangle at clearly different times, so I don't see any continuity holes. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 23:09, 28 January 2018 (EST)

RE: Derived species

I wanted to include Baby Yoshi on the infobox in some way rather than remove the user's edit outright and to parallel with Yoshi (species) being listed as Baby Yoshis' parent species. Technically they are the same, but like Baby Cheep and Blooper Baby, they're based on the "main" and more prominent adult species (Cheep Cheep, Blooper etc.), which was why I listed it as "derived".

Thanks

Hey, I know it was tough, but thanks for reverting all of that vandalism! I swear, you were totally on top of things before I could do the same! ^(T|C) 08:42, 3 February 2018 (EST)

No problem

There were a few links left, so I figured I'd do them myself. Mario JC 22:02, 6 February 2018 (EST)

Recent edits related to a proposal

Hey there, I have seen that you've done some "maintenance edits" and such to certain character articles (because I'm usually focusing on doing edits related to stuff involving the Mario girls when I get the chance). I haven't been "in the zone" regarding editing stuff as of late; can you tell me which proposal you were targeting which passed and can't be "reversed" unless someone else says otherwise via another proposal or other legitimate means? Thanks in advance. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 10:45, 13 February 2018 (EST)

I had a feeling that you were the person who created the proposal in question. And if I not mistaken, I see that you definitely did some maintenance on the image captions for the Princess Peach article epsecially? Was wondering about that too because that kinda caught me off guard there too. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 11:23, 13 February 2018 (EST)

Mii costume

I noticed you uploaded that mii costume for Mario & Sonic. Do you have a save state of the game with everything unlocked?-- 15:23, 18 February 2018 (EST)

Well thank goodness anyway because I do NOT have the patience to go through that game. Assuming you're planning to take care of the other costumes, you should uploaded the save file afterwards to gamefaqs.-- 15:27, 18 February 2018 (EST)

Re: References should go after periods, commas, parentheses, etc.

Well, I wasn't aware that MarioWiki didn't have such a policy, however, somebody should seriously make a proposal about this and make it mandatory to have references go after periods, commas, parentheses, etc. or perhaps create a bot like Wikipedia does, as it's ludacris as for how many articles have references doing so or a hybrid of the two. I've already asked asked the site's founder Steve about this problem, but he simply said, "...Wikipedia might have better bots." --Jjrapper100 (talk) 12:00, 9 March 2018 (EST)

RE: Reddit

I'll admit, we got ourselves a grey area or blurred line when it comes to fan content related to the page List of Mario references on the Web. Would a policy page contain rules on what is allowed fan creations? Where would that be? It seems to be unwritten word what is allowed and disallowed. {{Wikipolicy}} --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:25, 10 March 2018 (EST)

Then again, at the very top of the page, This list does not include fan-made works dedicated to the Mario franchise and its games, nor does it include walkthroughs of Mario games. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:27, 10 March 2018 (EST)

I consider Reddit more of a fancy blog, news feed, fan art, discussion, etc., run by a community of fans more than anything. It's the slippery slope fallacy I am seeing keeping Reddit as content for the page, meaning we would need to include all sorts of fanmade website content. Too numerous. We need written word if we should continue this. What should the rules be? Ultimately, when we think "reference", we think "small nod to a series", which Nintendo-themed Subreddits are far from small nods. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:36, 10 March 2018 (EST)

Posts on Reddit are like thread submissions on Mario Boards or any forum ever. Content like this can be created at will, which exist in the billions or trillions. Maybe even more. Fan-created subs and threads are not formal references to the Mario series. As a side note, we don't even accept fan theories, which would clash with canonicity policy. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:49, 10 March 2018 (EST)

It just furthers my point of needing some sort of policy page or revision to the canonicity policy page. MarioWiki:Fan content; what should be allowed/disallowed and how to handle it (mix it with articles, separate articles, etc.). If you insist on keeping the Reddit part, I suggest creating a new page in a similar manner as List of rumors and urban legends about Mario. I also suggest starting a discussion on the Mario Boards or the Discord server to get input from other users if we should have a policy about fan content. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:57, 10 March 2018 (EST)

I endorse Wildgoosespeeder here. An example of actual references on websites are 404 errors, such as those on IGN or Twitch. ^(T|C) 17:07, 10 March 2018 (EST)

Yoshi's Story Nintendo Power Player's Guide

File:Yoshi's Story Player's Guide.png is replacing File:Yoshi's Story Player's Guide.jpg, and you are still using the JPEG on your userpage. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 14:17, 30 March 2018 (EDT)

Mario is Missing Globulator

Do you know if deluxe edition has any cities not in the base version of Mario is missing MS-DOS. — Ryansinbela 23:12, 1 March 2018 (EDT)

Smash

I really think you should have broken that up into multiple smaller proposals for each type of thing instead of doing all of that at once. I agree wholeheartedly with maybe 30% of it, but the remaining 70% of it is, in my eyes, abhorrent. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:46, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

That does not change the fact that omnibus proposals should be discouraged. Also, where on the forums was this? I never saw it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:11, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

You mean the proposal you ran through while I was blocked? I'm a bit miffed about that, myself, but whatever. Anyways, two-option omnibus proposals are flawed by design, as if they don't pass, then you'll have to make yet another one to do the universally-agreed changes at any point, and if they pass, then a bunch of less-agreeable stuff happens. Anyways, dividing the population into sections based off of wide points when the actual differences are more specific and complicated is not only bad, it's what corrupt governments do, and therefore I find it to be very bad, myself. Nevertheless, if this passes, you won't ever have to hear from me again, so take solace in that. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:20, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

OK, I may have been a little emotional on the last response, but I still think this is a bad idea. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:04, 2 April 2018 (EDT)

Rocky KoopaMole Thingy

Heya there, just wondering, why is it a no-go to consider a mole a derivative of a Koopa, but perfectly fine to consider a sea slug a derivative of a bat, a mosquito derivative of a bee, and an alien octopus a derivative of a shiitake mushroom? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:14, 14 April 2018 (EDT)
