==Smash Bros. Article separations==
==Smash Bros. Article separations==
i have noticed the Smash Bros. Info in articles such as Mario, Yoshi, and Wario are very crammed in there along with their trophy info. I was wondering if we could mabey do separate pages for SSB Mario character info. Like call for example this article title:  "Wario (SSB)" , which would be strictly Super Smash Bros. related to Wario. -- {{user:WarioLoaf/sig}} 22:00, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

I've just been informed from Darkmyst op ''komies'' that all users with a host mask of !WikiGuest@ (thus all users using MarioWiki:Chat here) are blocked from #darkmyst, because we as a group caused too much trouble (*coughPlumber+Saudycough*). Whether {{user|Snack}} knew this or not, I dunno, but he had to be server killed today for going in there, as the guys in #darkmyst hate our guts now (great........), and now he has been brought down with Uniju for two weeks (if he tries to evade, it's longer...).

I've never heard of this development, maybe I missed something. If it's new to you, then just don't go to #darkmyst, no one talks there anyway. If it's old...keep avoiding it, I guess...feels great to be hated, eh? {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 18:22, 25 September 2007 (EDT)

Well, that's 16 articles made/renewed. Are you guys sure you don't want to help me out on this? Because I'm going to take a nice break now.

I was thinking of a more effective way to list the ratings of a game on the game articles, and I was thinking. Should we use the official Rating Images used on so many boxarts? You know, such as the green box with "G" in it, and the yellow box with "PG" in it. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

== Table Trouble ==
== Table Trouble ==
I have a little problem. The Gaming Acheivements section in my homepage has been getting a little long, and I have been wanting to make a table out of them. One part being games I copleted, one part finished games, and the third being for other acheivments. I looked at how it's done on the help section, and saw the table in the Shroom City article as an example, but it just looks too complicated for me. Do you have any advice?

Check this article out: [http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7666&Itemid=2] Apparently Nintendo will be releasing a special Game Card for the DS that will allow for downloadable content, such as GameBoy games, previously unplayable on the system.  Normally, I would pass this source as unworthy or misinformed, but IGN.com freatured the same article on their site (they focused on the Animal Crossing bit), so I think we can trust it.  Yeah, it doesn't really have any significance to Mario yet, but I thought you all should know. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 23:47, 24 October 2007 (EDT)
