== Warp Cannon ==

The reason that your edit on Warp Cannon is getting removed is that the order you wrote only applies to is ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', as in NSMB, 1 and 2 lead to 5, 3 leads to 6, 4 leads to 7, and 5 leads to 8. In NSMB2, 1 leads to Mushroom (which is World 7, as you need to match the numbers at 77 to get the Rainbow level), 3 and Mushroom lead to Flower (which is World 8), and Flower leads to World 6. As all three of them are different, there isn't really a "general order" to add to the article. Also, it is unnecessary to have "File:" in front of the images in the gallery. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 19:41, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

== Edit Warring ==

{{warning|2=edit warring}}
Repeatedly undoing an edit, even if it's to converse with the other guy, is considered edit warring. Before going any further with the [[Warp Cannon]] page, please talk to {{User|TheFlameChomp}} to decide the correct course of action. By the time I've typed out this message, he has already sent something to you, but policy states I should say something anyway. Sorry.

On that note, since I made the first edit that caused this, I'll throw in what I think and say the Warp Cannon does differ between games:
===NSMB===
1 & 2 -> 5, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 7, 5 -> 8

===NSMBWii===
1 & 2 -> 5, 3 & 4 -> 6, 6 -> 8

===NSMB2===
1 -> Mushroom (which is 7), 3 & Mushroom -> Flower (8), Flower -> 6 (strangely going backwards)

{{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:45, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Yeah, sorry about that, man. I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I was just trying to talk. And yeah, my bad. The Warp Cannon ''does'' differ between games, now that you made it clear. I won't do it again. And by the way, where's the message he sent me?
:Don't worry, this is just a note to remind you what to avoid next time. The message TheFlameChomp sent you is [[#Warp Cannon|directly above this one]]. As for your message on my talk page, no, you cannot remove warnings, or any kind of comments really (unless they are vandalism), especially ones given to you by a staff member. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:13, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

== Userpage stuff ==

Just an FYI, when you're copying userboxes from another user page (in this case, mine), try to not be so, uh, apparent about it. Like the scrollbox data I have (that long box surrounding the userboxes), I have that because otherwise the userbox would push everything downward. You can use it if you can get the coding to work, but it doesn't appear like you need it (it's screwing with the tabs, btw). Additionally, the link in the YouTube box goes to my channel, so you may want to delete that. And keep in mind that some users have personal images in their userboxes, so you may want to ask them if you decided to take it.

Also, if you want to check how the page looks without actually saving the page, hit the "Show preview" button at the bottom. This way the number of edits are reduced and it doesn't fill the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:51, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Just asking, but were you patrolling me? But yeah, I just wanted to create a scrollbox so I could show everybody the basic information, like favorite game, favorite character, etc. When I saw the coding for it, though, I didn't know if I was able to type it all myself. So sorry if that was rude in any way. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 21:56, 23 June 2017 (CDT)
:Nah, I just keep an eye on the Recent Changes all the time. I see pretty much everything :P
:For the scrollbox, remove the coding you have before and after the userboxes and put this coding above the userboxes (without the nowiki coding):
<tt><nowiki>
{| style="float: right; margin-left: 0em; margin-bottom: 0ex; width: 19%; border: 2px solid black; clear: right; background-color: #F6D5BE;"
|<div style="height:850px; overflow:auto;">
{|
</nowiki></tt>
:and put this at the end:
<tt><nowiki>
</div>
|}
|}
</nowiki></tt>
:Truth be told, I stole the coding from {{User|Shokora}}'s page, then modified it to fit how I needed it too. Took me a while to figure out, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:01, 23 June 2017 (EDT)
::Walkazo was a bureaucrat of the Super Mario Wiki since 2011, and she was a hard worker and a great friend to those that knew her. In March of 2016, she was killed in a car accident. I did not know her that well myself, I've only talked to her once or twice, but I was there the day her brother delivered the news. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:03, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
::Yeah, sure, go ahead an add my userbox to your page if you want, and I'll take your (rather familiar) userbox as well :) Also, add an extra <nowiki></div></nowiki> at the end of the userbox tower before the end <nowiki>|}</nowiki>s, as it appears to be messing with the page coding. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:38, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
::Also, you've been spending a lot of time on your user page. I know you're just trying to get it set up, but do try to edit some mainspace articles as well. Additionally (I don't know if I mentioned this to you already, probably have, I can't keep track), if you want to check how the page looks without saving, click the "Show preview" button. This way, you can make multiple edits and save it in one go, while avoiding filling up the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:50, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
:::Okay, uuhh... try to avoid adding things like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_3D_World&diff=next&oldid=2229453 this] and [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Bowser_Jr.&curid=1609&diff=2229459&oldid=2229458 info about the fanbase]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:14, 25 June 2017 (EDT)

Dammit. My bad. I was hoping I could put some useful information in articles. I guess that means thinking before you do it (DUH, me!). {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 23:24, 24 June 2017 (CDT)

:To make a gallery, you would type this:
<gallery>

</gallery>
:View the source to see the code, as I can't get the raw code to show, for some reason. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:38, 25 June 2017 (EDT)
''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' is an expansion of the main game, as such it's considered part of that. That's my best answer, I don't know much about it.<br>
Also, I will take this time to say that you've been editing your userpage a ''lot''. The important focus of the wiki is the content of the main articles. Userspace should come second, though I understand if it takes some time to make some quality edits. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:21, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

== Italics ==

Hello! Just so you know, when writing game titles, you should italicize them by putting two apostrophes on both sides. For example, <code><nowiki>''Super Mario Sunshine''</nowiki></code> would appear as ''Super Mario Sunshine''. Thanks! --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 21:25, 29 June 2017 (EDT)

== Setting up your signature ==

I saw you request help on Porplemontage's talk page about this, and I have an answer for you:
#Go to [[Special:Preferences|your preferences page]].
#In the "Signature" section of the "User profile" tab, type in the markup for your signature. If you want to use a template signature, you '''''must''''' type something like <code><nowiki>{{subst:nosubst|User:Skuchi037/sig}}</nowiki></code>.
#'''''<ins>DO NOT FORGET</ins>''''' to check the box that reads "Treat the above as wiki markup".
#At the bottom, click Save, and you're done!
*One last thing: your signature '''''must''''' include links to your userpage and your user talk page.

Hopefully that helps you. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 17:25, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

Thanks. That does help a lot. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}}
:Just take a look at [[User:Alex95/sig]]. All it is are two images linking to my user pages. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:55, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

== Userspace warning ==

{{userspace|2=making excessive userspace edits}}
I've checked your recent contributions and most of your edits have been on touching up your user page and talk pages. Try to find some time to edit some of the mainspace pages a bit more. If you don't do so, you might be given a harsher warning. Thanks! &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 00:02, 2 July 2017 (EDT)

Sorry about that. I will try not to overload again. &ndash; [[User:Skuchi037|Skuchi037]] ([[User talk:Skuchi037|talk]]) 23:22, 1 July 2017 (CDT)
:The reason for this is you having 186 edits on user pages, 73 on the main pages, 33 on user talk pages, 3 on MarioWiki, and 1 on main talk. It is a good idea to keep main+maintalk more than user+usertalk. Also, you may want to press the '''Show preview'' button so you can see the page without saving. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 21:35, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE: Humor for the WIN! ==

Why, thank you!<br>{{User:Luigi 64DD/sig}} 14:58, 5 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Big Boo's Haunt Edits ==

Due to a translation error in the English version of ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[King Boo]] is called Big Boo. Since this is an English wiki, that's what we go off of for his role in ''SM64DS''. There is a note of the differences on King Boo's actual page, though. For [[Yoshi]], no, he cannot enter [[Big Boo's Haunt]] at all, since no cap can be collected in [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:37, 6 July 2017 (EDT)
:No, the point is Yoshi can't get into the course to begin with. The entrance to Big Boo's Haunt is within a Big Boo in Peach's courtyard, which needs to be defeated. Since Yoshi can't damage Boos, he can't enter the course. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:11, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

== Reminder ==

{{reminder|2=forgetting to use italics}}
([https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Bowser&diff=prev&oldid=2236008 The] [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Green_Energy_Plant&diff=prev&oldid=2236585 edits] in question) You've been [[#Italics|reminded]] about ''italics'' once before; it's an important editing guideline, so please remember next time. Thanks. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:55, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE: Vandalism FAQ ==

Depends. If a user joins just for the sole purpose of vandalising, they are blocked immediately. If a regular user who's made constructive contributions in the past starts vandalising, they'll receive a warning, then, if it continues, a block. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:03, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

== FAQ Questions ==

I noticed that you are asking [[User:Mario jc|Mario jc]] about some stuff on the wiki. Let me show you [[MarioWiki:FAQ|this]]. Be sure to read it and see if you have a question already answered there before you ask on someone's talk page. Even then, you are suppose to ask on it's [[MarioWiki talk:FAQ|talk page]]. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 22:28, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

:Yeah, I was actually about to direct you to that link, too. Thanks, Yoshi the SSM. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:32, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
::You're welcome (to both of you). {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 22:34, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

== Fawful ==

I will bluntly tell you that there is a lot more to autism than "being smart" and "having social problems". Unless you have a clear-cut and official citation that demonstrates that Fawful is diagnosed with autism, do not include it on his article. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 23:35, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
:Despite being on the autism spectrum myself, I have a lot of friends and am (somewhat) sociable and talkative, but at the same time, don't see myself as all that smart. There are different levels of autism, like not being able to speak at all or diminished senses, and making an accusation about it toward how a character acts without an official source can possibly offend someone. Be careful when writing things like that. 

:Additionally, do not repeatedly undo edits to converse with other users, as that is what's known as "edit warring" (i.e., undo someone else's edit after they undid yours on the same page). If you wish to have a discussion, please do so on someone's talk page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:22, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

{{lastwarn}}
I'm actually going to give you a warning for this (to serve as a reminder not to do this again, and as per warning policy) as you edit warred on [[Luigi's Mansion (course)|three]] [[Midbus|different]] [[Fawful|pages]](!) before continuing the discussion elsewhere. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:41, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
:[[MarioWiki:Maintenance]] is a good place to start. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:40, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
::I read this last night, and now that I am able to write on my computer (yes I have been here for some time, but I forgot until now), I am able to post this from a paper that I wrote for college. It says, "Autism is a disorder that effects mental thinking and communication in young children, though it is carried throughout life." And later on, "Symptoms are "trouble interacting, playing with, or relating to others, having little or brief eye contact with others, not pointing to objects to call attention to them, unusual or repetitive movements, such as hand flapping, spinning, or tapping, delays in developmental milestones or loss of milestones already achieved, playing with a toy in a way that seems odd or repetitive, not using or understanding language as a child that age typically would, and not exploring surroundings with curiosity or interest (a child seeming to be in his or her "own world")" (KidsHealth)." KidsHealth is a website. Since many of these are for children, it would be very difficult to place Fawful in this category without proof. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 17:45, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
:::You weren't vandalizing, just made a mistake...repeatedly. Next time, after someone undoes your edit and what they put in the edit summary isn't clear enough, talk to them or post a question on the article's talk page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:48, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
== Writing ==

Please avoid [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Fawful&diff=prev&oldid=2237905 flowery] and [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Crow&diff=prev&oldid=2237928 informal] writing on articles. There's no need to describe a character with over-the-top adjectives, as simply mentioning them by name is fine; and saying something "should be familiar" sounds like you're having a conversation with the reader, which we also don't want.

Try to keep what you write formal, informative and professional. More information on writing style can be found [[MarioWiki:Good writing|here]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:16, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
:You don't need to ask if your edit is good. Just do your best, and if there's a problem, it will be fixed, but do try to keep writing standards in mind, like what {{User|Mario jc}} told you earlier. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:06, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Shroob Edit ==

Evil? Yes. Dark? Eh, not really. The Mario series is generally known for being comical, even at its darkest moments. "Creepy" and "disturbing" are also rather subjective descriptions. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:30, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

== Awards Presentation ==

Hello, I see that you've signed up to present M3. However, it doesn't seem like you have a [https://www.marioboards.com/ Mario Boards] account under any name, which is one of the requirements to present as we must send you the results there. Unfortunately we can't allow you to present otherwise, so if you would like to do so, please register for the forums; it should be relatively easy and only take a few minutes. Please get back to us as soon you can, as we need to know either your account name or that you are backing out of presenting. Thanks! - [[User:Turboo|Turboo]] ([[User talk:Turboo|talk]]) 00:03, 14 July 2017 (EDT)

== SMB3 ==

Okay, um, [[World 7-9 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|good attempt]], but {{User|Lord Bowser}} and I have taken up the task of making the pages for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Additionally, there's not a lot of info on the page you created, so it may get deleted if more info isn't added soon (I can't expand it myself at the moment, because my Game Boy Advance died :P). Thanks for the help, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:02, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

== Chain Chomps ==

I was not aware there existed large, spherical, pure-black, pointy-toothed dogs. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:59, 15 July 2017 (EDT)
:Dog-like implies that they share a resemblance to dogs, be it physical or behavioural but to most people reading it without context, they would assume that "dog-like" means that Chain Chomps look like dogs. They would then see the image of a Chain Chomp and be very confused. A given subject's appearance is more obvious than its behaviour, so saying "dog-like" without any further explanation is just a non-sequitur. It's best to leave that stuff for the main body, in which their behaviour is explained in more detail. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 18:37, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

== Edit summaries ==

I'd recommend against outbursts like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_(series)&curid=58986&diff=2240400&oldid=2240397 this]. Summaries should be used for things like "Fixed typo" or "Expanded info", not laughing maniacally. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:29, 16 July 2017 (EDT)
:Nah, nothing wrong. A little humor is fine. Just letting you know not to go too overboard. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:41, 16 July 2017 (EDT)

Adding on to this, no need to [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=New_Super_Mario_Bros.&diff=prev&oldid=2241570 take on a condescending tone] in your edit summaries either. {{User:Lord Bowser/sig}} 18:08, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

There is no need to be [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_64_DS&curid=1602&diff=2247614&oldid=2247597 so aggressive] in your edit summaries. They are meant to simply explain what you've done to the article; saying "removing unnecessary bullet point" would have been sufficient. Please try to use better judgement next time. {{User:Lord Bowser/sig}} 20:59, 27 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Vandals ==
:Vandals are weird :P Also, was a little blunt with my earlier answer: You can help with reverting edits if you can, so long as you don't engage in an edit war or conversation with the vandal, but the blocking can only be done by members of the staff. If there's no staff member online (which has been rare, lately), there's always the [[MarioWiki:Admin noticeboard|admin noticeboard]] staff members watching it will get a notification from. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:56, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Raccoon Mario vs Tanooki Mario ==

I did miss that, actually, yes. However, "''the big difference is that Raccoon Mario can fly, while Tanooki Mario cannot. Also, Raccoon Mario appears in 2D games, while Tanooki Mario appears in 3D games.''" is not completely wrong, but it's not correct, either. Tanooki Mario ''can'' fly in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and the final statement makes it seem like the transformations are exclusive to those genres, which they aren't in Tanooki Mario's case. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:47, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

== Millennium Star ==

Before any of your edits, the intro stated that Tumble was given life by the Millennium Star. Your subsequent edit then stated that he ''is'' the Millennium Star. I believe that it would be difficult to give life to something while also being that something. Also, per what the Doc said. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:17, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
:That's a logical leap and speculation, which is not permitted on the wiki. Also, the message is pleasantly harmless, so I might as well leave it there. Either way, that doesn't give you the right to delete it. It's not your talk page. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:19, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
::[https://youtu.be/-mXWq_yUWjk?t=254 That is not true.] The game clearly shows the Millenium Star exiting Tumble's head and saying that he's "seen all you've been doing from here, inside Tumble's head." They are not one and the same. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 11:52, 22 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE: List of rumors and urban legends about Mario ==

The sections are sorted by individual rumours, not by games, so there's no need. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:35, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Best way to not have edits reversed? Only say things that are definite. Don't say things that are theoretical, don't say things that are subjective, and ''please'' keep and encyclopedic tone with grammar to match. Wiki basically taught me how to speak, so for me, it's natural. Also, only say things if it's something that's been neglected to be said, like how I changed the page for [[Giant Stu]] to undo the misconception that there was only one in the whole game. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 23:08, 20 July 2017 (CT)
:Advice: don't get angry when your edits are reversed. It happens to just about every user, really, usually at the start of them editing. I had a number of my edits undone when I started, and I still have some of them undone today. Keep in mind that the wiki is maintained by several users, many of which have ideas or ideals that may conflict with someone else's. By submitting your work to something as open as a wiki, you're automatically agreeing that anyone can edit it at anytime. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:37, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Mario Boards Presentation ==

You can make your presentation however you want to. Usually, people go with a comic, as it's appealing to look at and simple to do. Really any form of media works as long as it's engaging. Once you're finished, you send it in to Anton and Turboo on the forums so they can look over it, and then they will send you more info to include once the time comes to get the presentation up in the thread that will go up when the Awards Presentation starts. More info can be found [https://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=38178.0 here]. If you have any further questions, I recommend contacting those on the Awards Committee, like Anton, Turboo, or Superchao, as I do not know everything :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:07, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
:It's my first time doing something like this, too, actually :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:09, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

== Courtesy ==

You need to start being more polite to people here. Remarks like the start of your comment [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Wildgoosespeeder&diff=2242430&oldid=2242429 here] are quite demeaning, especially to an experienced editor, and yelling at someone, like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:MisterCoolSkin&diff=2243714&oldid=2243713 this] is absolutely unacceptable, especially when you're enforcing policy incorrectly. You're already on a last warning, so I don't want to ban you without explaining things first, but if you continue to violate [[MarioWiki:Courtesy|courtesy policy]] you will be temporarily banned. {{User|Yoshi876}}
:Dagnabbit, Y876 :P Yeah, what you said is not okay, for a few reasons. In order:
# The guy's French. He can speak his native language all he wants to.
# Cursing and swearing is allowed, so long as it's used in moderation. You can learn more [[MarioWiki:Courtesy|here]].
# You can't "hear" text, and typing in all caps isn't going to get your point across any better.
:These types of outbursts are becoming frequent from you. If they keep up, someone will have to ban you, as you are already on a last warning for the discourteous edit warring earlier. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:59, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
::Doesn't matter whether you know the guy or not. Just be nice to everyone and talk in a civil manner. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:08, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
:::Just make sure it doesn't happen again. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:14, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki:Admin_noticeboard&curid=209071&diff=2244208&oldid=2244109 This] can be considered [[MarioWiki:Warning_policy#Level_three_offenses|undermining admin authority]], i.e. telling admins what to do. May want to avoid remarks like that in the future, and instead just post the troll in the admin noticeboard, optionally saying what they've done as well. You did good reporting him quickly, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:12, 22 July 2017 (EDT)

==Signature==
Your signature is in violation of several rules. First of all, it must be created: [[User:Skuchi037/sig|here]]. Then please follow the instructions [[Help:Signature#Preparing_for_usage|here]]. Once you do, it must fit in the following box, which it currently wouldn't: {{sigbox}}. It also has to include your username in some fashion as stated on rule one [[MarioWiki:Signatures|here]]. Please fix it. --{{User:Henry Tucayo Clay/sig}} 19:00, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

== Idle Chatter ==

It's been pretty uneventful, which is a good thing. I'm still chipping away at the Mario's Time Machine articles. How about you? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 21:55, 23 July 2017 (EDT)
:That's good, and you shouldn't be bragging. Reverting vandal edits is just another part of contributing to the wiki alongside adding information and discussing changes. Also make sure that you don't get overzealous and report someone for being a vandal when they made an honest mistake. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 22:00, 23 July 2017 (EDT)
::As an addendum to this, do not report people based on gut feelings. If someone's mass-blanking pages or adding random vulgarities to pages, then fair enough, but it's entirely possible for new users to do things that they don't even know is against the rules. Assume good faith first, and continue from there. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:48, 27 July 2017 (EDT)

==M3 Presentation checkpoint==
Heya, I'm just sending you a message here since I know you're on the wiki more often than the forum.  Right now is currently the halfway point for working on your presentation, with it being due by August 4th.  As the PM states: "Please let us know that you received this PM, and what your current status is in terms of progress.

== External link redirects ==

Hi, when making redirects, avoid what you recently did. [[Launch title]] redirecting to [[wikipedia:Launch title|Launch title]]'s Wikipedia page doesn't really work the way you intend it to. I'm sure users will probably just go to Wikipedia anyways. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:46, 27 July 2017 (EDT)

== Brobotics ==

Do you have a source for your [[Brobotics]] redirect? Does Mr. L call Brobot that in the game? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:40, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
:The full quote is [https://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/933012-super-paper-mario/faqs/51079 here]: "Just check this thing out! This bad boy is sporting the latest in brobotics. Meet my new friend... BROBOT L-TYPE!" I wouldn't count that as a name. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:41, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
::Okay, yeah, seems more like a pun on the word "robotics" instead. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:42, 28 July 2017 (EDT)

== Links ==

[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_Mario_Party_2_minigames&diff=2238329&oldid=2238327 You were told off once before] for gluing a bunch of links together in a single word, and [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Ultra_Shroom&diff=next&oldid=2248403 that still applies now]. You also completely removed the link to Super Mario RPG for no discernable reason. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:22, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
:Again, you're presenting links in a way that is not obvious, which is just reader-hostile, plus you were already told not to do this. If you do see a mainspace article that has these kinds of links, change them. Besides, not '''all''' of the Mario RPGs have that item, namely [[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]] and [[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:27, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
::Please provide examples of this, because again, you were already told not to do this. Also, I realize now that you didn't remove the links, but you hid one of the links behind ''Mario'' when [[Mario (franchise)]] is a much more obvious link. Doing this does not help navigation, nor does it add convenience for readers. This is not good. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:30, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
:::The entire [[Mario]] article could be replaced with "Mario is a human," and that would be less wordy, but that doesn't help anyone. Elaborating on certain subjects is often necessary to make sure that nobody is left confused, because otherwise, you risk losing valuable information. I will also remind you that you have already received many warnings and cautions for your actions, and if you fail to listen to them and learn from what you've previously done, that is certainly worth bringing up. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:33, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
::::If you continue to repeat your mistakes, your warnings and cautions will also be repeated. It's not more complicated than that. I genuinely think that you have the potential to be a good editor, but it is absolutely necessary for you to listen to what everyone else has told you. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:36, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
:::::So long as you're learning, that's what matters. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:54, 28 July 2017 (EDT)

== Administrators ==

That decision is entirely up to the existing admins. Regardless, I'm still going to be editing as usual. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 23:10, 29 July 2017 (EDT)
:It takes more than being a regular to be promoted. In any case, that's not my priority in the slightest. If it happens, then so be it, but I'm not editing just so I can become an admin. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 23:20, 29 July 2017 (EDT)

== Cards ==

It looks silly when they're all listed together on the recent changes, but if someone was looking at any of the articles individually, they wouldn't know why the template was removed unless I supplied the reason. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 18:30, 30 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Yoob's Inside Story ==

No. Redirects are meant for ''official'' terms that "redirect" readers to subjects whose name either changed over time, has more than one name, the name can be spelled several different ways, or is meant to link to a section in a different article. "Yoob's Inside Story" would not make a good redirect. You can learn more [[Help:Redirect|here]] and [[MarioWiki:Redirects|here]] if you need to. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:00, 30 July 2017 (EDT)
:Yeah, but it's an unoffical, fan-created term, which has no merit in redirects. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:06, 30 July 2017 (EDT)
::Pretty much. Fan stuff is usually left to the forums or The 'Shroom. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:11, 30 July 2017 (EDT)
:::I've never heard of Wario being addressed that way. It's likely speculation. And kinda hurtful, tbh :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:15, 30 July 2017 (EDT)

==Super Mario Odyssey==
I don't know why it got an E10+, ask the hacks behind the ESRB, I'm sure they'll provide you with an insane answer. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 23:45, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

== Bowser ==

[[Bowser#Portrayals|This]] is a list of all the voice actors that have portrayed Bowser. If a game's not on the list, then either Bowser didn't speak or the wiki has no idea. It's worth pointing out that Bowser's laugh in Super Mario 64 is (likely) a slowed-down version of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjtzkoVW_Qg Boo's laugh]. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 00:23, 3 August 2017 (EDT)
:Nintendo hasn't done a good job of crediting its voice actors, to be sure. Also, may I ask why you don't use colons (:) when writing comments? Generally, you use colons to space out discussion and you stop using colons to indicate either a change in discussion or simply that the indentation is too deep, but I've yet to see you use colons. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 00:33, 3 August 2017 (EDT)
::Both Boo and Bowser have an edited version of each other's laugh, but they're probably both pitch-edited. Nut they might also just be edited stock sound effects from another work, who knows. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 01:09, 3 August 2017 (CT)
:::It's just that your comments look out of place when they're continuing a discussion while not being indented at all. When every other user is doing it, I don't understand why you would do something that makes it harder to hold a conversation. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:00, 3 August 2017 (EDT)
::::And yet you're not using them here despite this being a one-one-one conversation? Besides, there's absolutely no need to put unnecessary focus on your comment. They're the same as everyone else's comments. If you're having a discussion with someone, they're going to notice when you reply to them. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:10, 3 August 2017 (EDT)

== Some advice ==

Sorry you're having trouble with being courteous towards other users. [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:76.100.33.10&oldid=2255671 This message to the anonymous user] was not okay and very rude. All they wanted to do was talk. Some advice to keep in mind is to ''treat everyone, whether you know them or not, with respect'', as if you're talking to your friends. If you feel like something could aggravate you, either ignore it or ask someone for help. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:20, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
:All you have to do is just not do that again and you'll be fine. Maybe go over the [[MarioWiki:Courtesy|courtesy policy]] and other policies a few times if you need to. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:21, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
::As long as you follow the rules, you don't have to worry about it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:33, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Question ==

No. Your IP will be temporarily blocked upon your initial ban and will run out after about two days. However, any attempts to edit, whether anonymously or by creating a new account, while your ban is operational will result in your IP address getting blocked for a certain length of time, and possibly lengthening your standard block. 

In other words, editing while blocked is a bad idea. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:45, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
:If editing anonymously becomes a problem, then the IP address(es) will be blocked for a length of time. The good faith aspect is always in play, even when dealing with blocked accounts, and we trust that the blocked user will get the hint that they should stay away for the time being. If they try to edit while they're blocked, well then that's their problem. 
:And, no, as far as I'm aware, there is no rule that says "you cannot become an admin if you have been previously blocked". Yes, we take warnings and blocks into account when deciding, but if the issue isn't an issue any longer, then it doesn't matter much. Becoming an admin is certainly a goal set by several users, but it shouldn't be a primary one. The purpose of the wiki is to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the ''Mario'' series, so as long as you focus on that, we'll come to you if we think your expertise is needed. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:47, 18 August 2017 (EDT)

== Whistle ==
It's Warp Whistle and not Magic Whistle because it was Warp Whistle in Super Mario All Stars. The Recorder from Color Splash has a different function and as such should probably be split. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 01:45, 19 August 2017 (CT)

== RE: So...many...PICTURES! ==

Responding on his behalf, {{User|Meta Knight}} is Director of The 'Shroom, and as such is responsible for putting up the issue and uploading all the pictures made for the issue. It's nice of you to thank him for uploading so many pictures, but try not to interrupt him when he's in the process of doing it all, since it'd only serve to slow it down. Thanks! {{User:Lord Bowser/sig}} 16:36, 19 August 2017 (EDT)

== Welcoming users ==

While it is encouraged to be friendly toward other users, the {{tem|welcome}} template is no longer being used in order to avoid creating several talk pages containing nothing more than the template and wasting space. On the other hand, please don't create a talk page for the sole purpose of welcoming the user, though you can welcome them if you are messaging them for a different reason. Also, don't welcome them until they have made at least one constructive edit because they could create an account just to create an account and not use it (or become a vandal). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:07, 19 August 2017 (EDT)

== Heads up ==

I strongly recommend against jumping into the middle of a conversation with a different user, unless you actually have something relevant to add. [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Alex95&diff=2269909&oldid=2269908 Something like this can be considered discourteous] to the addresser and the addressee and can make conversations confusing if it keeps up. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:25, 19 August 2017 (EDT)

== Re: Good job, brother! ==

Thanks man! I originally meant to make a minor revision to one article but I always get carried away and start finding other pages to edit. Glad to know that I can help out with my few edits. --[[User:Waddle D33|Waddle D33]] ([[User talk:Waddle D33|talk]]) 19:51, 20 August 2017 (EDT)

== Vandal ==

Hi, if you see a vandal, it's best to just report them immediately instead of arguing with them in the edit summary. [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 17:26, 21 August 2017 (EDT)

== Scienstein's Inappropriate Habits ==
Look at the third thing under "Official profiles," look at the way he stammers about that which he is transparently hiding. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 16:54, 21 August 2017 (CT)
:Well, the Japanese often have a different brand of humor from the rest of the world... {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 16:57, 21 August 2017 (CT)
::The ''Mario'' universe has its share of [[Bob Hoskins|inappropriate]] [[Vivian|controversial]] moments. But still, don't remove valid content without making a discussion next time. And also, saying "I'm not a vandal" is just going to raise suspicion. Not saying you're a vandal, but just be careful with your edit summaries. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:11, 21 August 2017 (EDT)
