:Yeah, even then, it's tough, as only about half of the episodes have made it to YouTube. I'm still trying to find a website where the remaining episodes are legitimately archived, but if you see any full episodes other than those in [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LGfMorPEBsI this video], feel free to let me or someone else know, on the wiki, forums, or otherwise. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 16:23, 7 January 2018 (EST)

:Oof, didn't remember that. I don't know, April Fools' is a strange day for us. Like, I'm all for joking around and stuff, but I also know that we're supposed to provide accurate information. If someone reads an article with an April Fools' prank on it, and not know it's a joke (unless it's blatantly obvious), they might take that as fact. The Bob Hoskens quote change you shared is a good example of that: If you don't know of Bob's experience with the film already, and you see the quote Magikrazy posted, what would you think?

:Long story short, you didn't do anything wrong. Considering what day it is, we're more lenient about this (hence why you didn't receive a warning). I think it would be best if the jokes were kept off of the main articles, but that may be just me. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:55, 1 April 2018 (EDT)

I noticed that you previously <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Donkey_Kong_Country&diff=1588085&oldid=1587435 added a music themes column to the ''DKC'' levels table]</span>. I'm thinking about removing it, for a few reasons. To begin with, the track names lack meaning without any other context. I suppose the table cells could be modified later to embed a sample sound file of each track, but I don't think this information belongs in the main level table of the article: it feels like side information that's not directly relevant to summarizing the levels. They are also completely redundant with the current ''DKC'' level types separation (see [[User:The Retro Gamer/music|here]]).

:As a counterargument though, I suppose one could argue that because of the soundtracks, the music in ''DKC'' is more well-defined and more notable then other games. I still don't think this means including this information in the main levels tables for the articles is useful for navigation. But if it were to be included in the main levels, I think it ''must'' also include a sample of what the music sounds like.

You're right, I got my information mixed up. Thanks for correcting that! I'll move the images so they actually make sense now :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:13, 4 July 2018 (EDT)

==Re: Event table==

:Of those two, I'd probably say the first one would be better, because even with the shorter titles it doesn't really make the rows any smaller, which I think would be perhaps what is needed. The only other thing I could think of is having the classes in an extra column down the side which go alongside all of the events in the class, but, because I am useless with tables I can't quite figure out how to do that. But of your two, it's probably better to go with the first one. [[User:BBQ Turtle|BBQ Turtle]] ([[User talk:BBQ Turtle|talk]]) 14:08, 6 July 2018 (EDT)

::I didn't even notice that the links had been removed, but when you do notice it, it does look better. So yeah, feel free to change it to that, but I'd recommend maybe adding links to the very first row in the athletics section, as only a few of the games are linked to in the introductory paragraph. And with the proposal, you don't really know yet, I had one talk page proposal get five votes in the last three days, so everyone might just decide to vote all of a sudden.
