Any chance you'll ever install [[ | Any chance you'll ever install [[mw:Extension:Scribunto|the LUA extension]]? It's secure and Wikipedia uses it. The reason why I ask is currently, formatting complicated tables without redundancy is a futile pursuit because of tables' CSS standard, and this strongly deters future table reformatting. Generating tables in LUA would remove all of the redundancy and allow much greater ease in renovating tables.

Although, now that I think about it, the extension I ''really'' think would improve this wiki is [[ | Although, now that I think about it, the extension I ''really'' think would improve this wiki is [[mw:Extension:Echo|the Echo extension]]. It adds a full notification system, which allows users to "ping" other users by linking to their username, allowing them to reply in an external discussion without having to notify them on their talk page. This would allow talk page discussions to be rationally confined to one talk page, with users just pinging the other user when they reply, so that following user talk page discussions in the future would be less confusing. But I think this extension falls clearly in the category of "ask your users before implementing", since it would affect the top-UI, and users would additional settings to individually configure if they didn't like the default settings.

== Possible size issue == | |||
Don't know if you're still working on css or not, but thought I'd let you know I think [[Special:Diff/2618539|this edit]] caused some things to be awkwardly adjusted. I fixed a [[Special:Diff/2619344|image size]] on a copyright template, but Results May Vary also noticed infoboxes like on [[Lakeside Limbo]] are rather squished. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:45, March 12, 2019 (EDT) | |||

What do you think of this scenario? "Fruit" is the most recent name for [[Berry]], but a [[Fruit]] article already exists.

What should I do? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 23:21, March 13, 2019 (EDT) | |||

== Joe == | |||
Hi, I'm trying to enforce [[Talk:Joe#Rename to Joe|a proposal]] by fixing links on navtemplates, but I'm technically prevented from doing so due to something in the spam blacklist ("SK8"). That being said, would you mind running the bot to change every instance of "<code><nowiki>[[Manager Joe]]</nowiki></code>" to "<code><nowiki>[[Joe]]</nowiki></code>" and "<code><nowiki>[[Manager Joe|</nowiki></code>" to "<code><nowiki>[[Joe|</nowiki></code>"?

== Appropriate usage of the "(boss)" identifier == | |||
Hi, I have another question regarding identifiers. This time, however, it may be a tad more difficult: When would the "(boss)" identifier be appropriate to use? The reason I ask this is because characters such as [[Boomer (boss)|Boomer]] from ''Super Mario RPG'' (stemming off of [[#Identifier discussion (mostly for characters)|this discussion]]) and [[Phantom (boss)|Phantom]] from ''Mario + Rabbids'' appear to have bigger roles than ''just'' their boss fight (the latter even sings [[Phantom of the Bwahpera|a song]] for Mario and company). {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 12:43, April 9, 2019 (EDT) | |||
:Imagine I said this: The boss identifier is used when a character has a boss battle in a game and doesn't appear outside that game. Would that break a lot of things? --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 13:26, April 9, 2019 (EDT) | |||
::I'm not entirely sure, actually. I'm a bit more concerned about the Boomer case, since it overlaps with [[#Identifier discussion (mostly for characters)|this discussion]] and what you said about using species identifiers (there are two other characters named Boomer whose article titles violate the current naming policy, though the page whose subject is the other Boomer character seems to get in the way of this). {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 13:53, April 9, 2019 (EDT) | |||
:::Based on the previous discussion (and [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki:Naming&diff=2493125&oldid=2445836 policy change]) you can move all the Boomers to game identifiers since they are characters. Do you like that? --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 14:18, April 9, 2019 (EDT) | |||
::::Yep. I guess we can deal with the Phantom case once another character known as "Phantom" makes their debut. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 15:44, April 9, 2019 (EDT) | |||
