Can you change my username there to Kaptain K. Rool? My username there is Liamroche. Kaptain K. Rool

Looks like I changed it. --Steve (talk) 16:30, 27 February 2011 (EST)

Mario Games

DO you play Mario games? Kaptain K. Rool

I sure do. --Steve (talk) 16:40, 27 February 2011 (EST)

Hi

Why can't we ask for sysop powers? Also I have tagged some pages for deletion so will you please kindly delete it? Thx Kaptain K. Rool

Because I'm sure a lot of people want to be a sysop, and the administration has better things to do than field all those requests. Being a good user gets you there; it's not something that you ask for and then receive. Also the images will be taken care of at some point; you don't need to notify me about them. --Steve (talk) 16:21, 28 February 2011 (EST)

My apologies sir. I am just wondering why we can't ask. Even if I want to be one. I wont ask so I will work for it even if it will take like 2-3 years... Kaptain K. Rool

Why don't we have many sysops on here even if users such as BabyLuigiOnFire are good-faith users? That doesn't make much sense to me >-<. When will my sysop privilige time come? Kaptain K. Rool

You're looking at it backwards. We don't make all good users sysops. Instead, when we decide to add a sysop, we choose a good user. Becoming a sysop is not something you should be concerned about at all. Your time may never come because you're already thinking about it too much. --Steve (talk) 20:58, 4 March 2011 (EST)

OK then I'll wait for the time.... Kaptain K. Rool

The server is so slow!

Why the site was closed for like a hour? Did you update something on the site? SWFlash

Computer trouble; Stay in touch next time! officialmariowiki+emergency at Google email system. --Steve (talk) 14:51, 1 March 2011 (EST)

Fix

Can you fix the Template:Affiliates plz. Thx Kaptain K. Rool

Template:Block

I have done a mistake on this wiki seeing that I have put block templates all over the wiki on many banned users. Do you mind helping out doing it seeing that I am not a sysop. Kaptain K. Rool

It's alright. We have the situation under control. - Gabumon^(talk) 16:01, 5 March 2011 (EST)

What do you mean? You don't seem to be doing anything at all :/. Kaptain K. Rool

Hi

Do you play fourth generation PokEmon games? If so what is your FC? Kaptain K. Rool

I played Diamond when it came out but not anymore. --Steve (talk) 14:53, 6 March 2011 (EST)

OK... you don't have it anymore or you don't play it Kaptain K. Rool

Don't play it. --Steve (talk) 14:55, 6 March 2011 (EST)

Sorry sir, I was just thinking of a real life talk while trading Pokemon or having a battle, but that is what I was thinking so yeah. Also my Wi-Fi is secured so I can't do it. Sorry dude :/. Kaptain K. Rool

Sitenotice

Can we bring it back? --Knife (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2011 (EST)

It would only be visible to logged-in users. --Steve (talk) 21:56, 6 March 2011 (EST)

That's fine. Could be useful for editing tips and policy changes.--Knife (talk) 23:43, 6 March 2011 (EST)

What does it do?

PHOENIX (talk • edits) 00:29, 7 March 2011 (EST)

It's just a message atop every page, and sysops use it to keep the community informed. --Steve (talk) 00:32, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Alright, sounds good to me! :)

PHOENIX (talk • edits) 00:38, 7 March 2011 (EST)

P.S. - But if you don't mind me asking, what does he mean by "bring it back?"

PHOENIX (talk • edits) 00:54, 7 March 2011 (EST)

It was a feature originally, visible to users and guests, but was disabled due to guest caching. We still cache guest stuff; that's why it can be brought back for those logged-in. --Steve (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2011 (EST)

"BREAKING: SiteNotice 2.0 will exist!"...what? When can we start using it for other stuff?--Knife (talk) 10:36, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Whenever. --Steve (talk) 12:55, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Yo Steve

Cool new sitenotice feature. I would love to have that as a feature. What Mario games do you own? I can't list them all cuz there is too many. Kaptain K. Rool

All the big releases beginning with the SNES. --Steve (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Hi

Do you mind fixing the user Double Redirects please seeing that I am no sysop? Thanks... Kaptain K. Rool

BTW can you change my username? Thanks...

No; don't come to me for such mundane tasks. --Steve (talk) 16:19, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Not even change my username? See here for info. Kaptain K. Rool

You've already used your two renames; see you in 2012. --Steve (talk) 16:28, 7 March 2011 (EST)

What do you mean 2012? Kaptain K. Rool

Only two name changes per year. Next time, think before you waste them. MrConcreteDonkey 16:31, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Sitenotice suggestion

You can put "Did you know?" facts, "Mario & Nintendo News", latest proposals, featured articles, etc. with {{random}} template. Also, to make it easier, link a template from MediaWiki:Sitenotice (like {{Sitenotice}}). SWFlash

I hope the content will be more specific than main page stuff or random stuff. Can you explain how editing a template is easier than editing a MediaWiki page? I don't follow. --Steve (talk) 12:55, 8 March 2011 (EST)

MediaWiki: Only sysops can edit it. Template: You can choose who can edit it. I've suggested the random stuff because there's barely anything to put in the sitenotice. SWFlash

It would be a sysop-only thing anyway, and I think it was used decently before we got rid of it. Every now and then sysops will ask for its return, so they must have something to say. I just don't want it to become the random fun fact at the top of the page. --Steve (talk) 14:21, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Porplemontage.com

What is that website about? Kaptain K. Rool

My wiki network. --Steve (talk) 20:41, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

Spam filter on Pikmin Fanon

Can you unblock all of the "blacklisted" words on Pikmin Fanon? It turns out some of them are on valid pages (such as your talk page) and they are inaccessible now. Also, we are trying a different method now, so it won't affect the spam that much. Volatile Dweevil

Yeah. --Steve (talk) 23:42, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

Mario Party 9

Why did you make this redirect? It seems useless because Nintendo didn't make any sequels in a while (since 2009, or 2007 for numberstream). They've released 3DS and they will more likely make a sequel for 3DS rather than Wii (and it will maybe then named Mario Party 3DS, rather than Mario Party 9). SWFlash

I guess I made it so if one searches MP9 they see the list of games to confirm there is no MP9 rather than getting the search results for MP9 which is really just a mess. --Steve (talk) 16:39, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

Contribution Scores

Hi Steve; sorry to bug you with this. I recently just discovered the contribution scores page (yeah, it took me a while) and I realized that it's hard to find out what "position" you're in. If you're right in the middle of the table in, say, 25th, you have to count either down from 50 or up from 1 on the boxes to find out what specific "position" you're in. Is it at all possible that we could add numbers to the side to tell us that? Idk if that's possible or not; no biggie if it isn't. Thanks Steve! Bowser's luma

Get a rough idea of your spot; it's not a crazy contest! --Steve (talk) 16:39, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

Sorry. I'll be back with a good description in a minute. Bowser's luma

Here we go:

I was trying to say that it's hard to determine what number you are out of the top 50 and this would be a good idea to add. Of course, less crude and aligned with the table correctly, unlike mine. Bowser's luma
