I put this on all of the ''Wario Land 4'' levels as well. I see that you have that game! Do you play it much? | ||

I checked a couple pages at random and they didn't include the genre, just the name of the game, which makes more sense to me as well, and probably most other users too, I'd imagine. Anyway, yes, a [[mb:forums/57|Wiki Collaboration]] thread would be a perfect way to make sure everyone ''is'' on the same page and generate awareness about fixing the articles that ''do'' include the superfluous info. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 21:20, 27 April 2013 (EDT) | ||

::The article definitely would benefit from having game box images in it rather than a worded list imo. Images should be fit in somewhere. Your idea does sound better though, since, while "remake" "ports" and whatnot are good terms to describe something, it's just that gigantic, homogeneous "Others" category is what does this in for me. I'm open to new ideas for implementation though, and btw, I'm better at criticism when what you plan to show me is visual rather than text, so I don't have more opinions than that. Maybe create a variation on your sandbox and I'll have a look at it. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 17:26, 28 December 2015 (EST) | ::The article definitely would benefit from having game box images in it rather than a worded list imo.

== Link editing == | |||
Generally, when someone makes or suggests a move, it's up to them to fix all of the links. In your case, since you brought up the move from [[Caped Mario]] to [[Cape Mario]], you should be the one to [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Caped Mario|change the links]]. Excuse me if you're already aware of this; it's just a friendly reminder. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} | |||

== Tagging Articles as Stubs == | |||
Hello! I've noticed you've tagged [[Classic World 1-2|some]] [[Classic World 1-3|article]]s [[Classic World 1-4|as]] [[Classic World 2-2|stub]]s. It's fantastic that you wish the articles be expanded upon, but there is a catch to the {{tem|stub}} template – instead of placing it at the top of an article, as is usually customary, it should be placed at the bottom of an article, just above the regular sections and any navigational templates, if existent. The reason the stub template is still going to be visible is, despite it being placed at the bottom of the article, since the article is so small anyway, chances are the entire article will be visible without having the need to scroll at all. I apologise if this seems just a little bit pedantic, but consistency is key and I hope we both can agree to that. | |||
Whilst I'm at it, this also applies to any sections you wish to place the template under. I hope this is understandable. {{User:RandomYoshi/sig}} 16:49, 31 December 2015 (EST) | |||
== Mario is a human thing. == | |||
First, let me gladly welcome you back. Remember me? As for sic, I was about to add that "so people more well-versed in species nomenclature don't raise an eyebrow on why 'homo' is lowercase and try to uppercase it", but the edit summary wouldn't allow that. But I'm glad you agree on that aspect. On ''H. s. sapiens'' part, maybe I am being too technical about it, but I carefully worded it to clarify that the "modern human" part refers to us as in now and modern history, ''H. s. sapiens'' (the other known subspecies, ''Homo sapiens idaltu'' is extinct). I feel saying that "he's the not the same species as a human" doesn't have the same kind of preciseness since human is such a broad term when you're talking abut it as a species. But that may be too technical, the wording too careful, for our typical MarioWiki audience. I think it can work both ways as in "If this is true, then Mario is technically not the same species as a human (Homo sapiens).", but I find it difficult to remove "modern" from "modern human" since that's what ''H. s. sapiens'' pretty much are and ''H. s. sapiens'' is what we refer as ''H. sapiens'' in everyday speech. | |||
P.S. On an opinionated note, I really think the guide should've thought this through better by making it ''Homo sapiens nintendonus'' so he's still technically the same species as us, but they've displayed their ignorance already by making "homo" lowercase, so we have to make of what we have. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:45, 1 January 2016 (EST) | |||
:Yeah, I think it implies that. So, I [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario&diff=1930415&oldid=1930412 reworded] it a bit. Is it better? {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:56, 1 January 2016 (EST) | |||
::On edutainment games, you're right on that, and I was actually thinking about just separating them. I'm not sure what caused me to merge all genre games into one spot like that, but I'll gladly separate them. And I'll also gladly merge a trivia point (if not all of them) to the main body of the article, but I was going to proofread the newly added ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' section soon. It's a whole ton of work. And I'm not even close to done on this article. But thanks for the input! {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:00, 1 January 2016 (EST) | |||
:::Nah, don't sweat it; I've already done the changes today. Well, thanks for going out of the way to ask me, but you could've made the changes too if you want to, in this case. I've moved the trivia section to the main body under "general description" (something like that); I'd like to minimize trivia in general in this wiki where I can. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 20:45, 1 January 2016 (EST) | |||
== Remake vs. Reissue == | |||
Why the change from "Remake" to "Reissue"? I'm pretty sure the latter is now being used wrongly - a "reissue" is something sent back out in the world with few or no changes - the [[Virtual Console]] versions of most games, for instance. Whereas the 1994 Game Boy version of Donkey Kong is (for the first four levels) a remake of the arcade Donkey Kong, not a reissue or port (hell, the NES version is a remake too, owing to the legal fighting over who owned the source code). | |||
Basically: | |||
#A game allowed to go out of print and then brought back out is a reissue. | |||
#A game given new packaging (e.g., [[Player's Choice]]) is a reissue | |||
#A game emulated directly from the original code (e.g., Virtual Console, the Wii disc version of ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'') is a reissue. | |||
A game recoded, redesigned or upgraded is not a reissue. It may or may not be a remake, but it's still a different thing. For instance, In no way, shape or form is ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'' a "reissue" of ''Super Mario Bros.'' in any way that ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' isn't. It isn't even a remake, it's a different game that shares some features. | |||
(There are also partial remakes embedded in other games too - the [[Throwback Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and the first star in particular, is a remake of [[Whomp's Fortress]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.) - [[User:Reboot|Reboot]] ([[User talk:Reboot|talk]]) 20:58, 1 January 2016 (EST) | |||
