User Page request
Hey, Porplemontage. I've recently joined the community earlier today with good intention of improving the Super Mario Wiki. However, I am interested in having my own user page without having to wait a week in advance. May you please create one for myself? YoshiRider123 (talk)
when login?
my bro hasn't logged on recently. He forgot his password and had tried over and over to login, but it said he had made too many recent attempts. He waited at least 45 hours! when can he log in again again? It says to "Try again later", and he tried again... way later! Please help--CosmicRedToad 06:44, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- Well... I'm guessing the account doesn't have an email address associated with it. I can reset the password if give me the username and an email address. --Steve (talk) 08:05, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- It does! He put in the temporary one from his email that time it showed the error message!--CosmicRedToad 08:09, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- The Email address is goozalaba@gmail.com, and the username is CosmicBlueToad.--CosmicRedToad 08:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- I sent an email with the new password. --Steve (talk) 17:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- He tried it and obviously he, tried to login too often recently.--CosmicRedToad 05:54, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know why his IP has been locked out for so long. He can either use another IP, keep trying, or create a new account. --Steve (talk) 06:57, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- Okay! He'll Make "Cosmic Blue Toad" and if it gets blocked, please unblock him. He's not a sock or anything. Okay?--CosmicRedToad 21:45, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

- Sure. If you want, I can rename the original account to something else then rename "Cosmic Blue Toad" to CosmicBlueToad. --Steve (talk) 21:58, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- No thanks. He chose without the spaces at first, but he likes it better with the spaces in between. He says thank you for all your help!--CosmicRedToad 22:03, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, Thanks, Porple! Now I just have to get a Sysop to redirect my userpage (CosmicBlueToad) to my userpage (Cosmic Blue Toad). Are you a sysop? Can you do that?--Cosmic Blue Toad 22:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

BLAH
Hello Porplemontage. I was wondering if it'd be ok for me to put you into a comic I am currently drawing for Userpedia. Don't worry, it won't be anything too big, just some obligatory stuff in the prologue, and then something way later which isn't of much significance yet. So, would that be alright? - Gabumon(talk) 17:04, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Car, Games
Hey I think User:Francis21 and User:Cargames are socks. Can you please block them? Thanks.
Protection
I need your help to protect the following page: MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 22. May you please do it?
PS What causes this page to extend like that, but the other archives pages not? I'm trying to solve this issue, but I can't figure out the problem.
The Super Mario Wiki
Hello,
i would ou ask something. How did you create this Super Mario Wiki? I see it's not from Wikia. Please answer that question. ---Galaxy 2 06:35, 14 September 2010 (UTC)File:SignaturGalaxy2.jpg

You move Wikias to NIWA right? Small heads up, Donkey Kong Wiki(a) is considering a move. Just to let you know ahead of time. Not entirely sure about it yet, I'll keep you updated. HavocReaper48 21:47, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Well I just can't.Theres no "edit" button on my page.--User:UltraMario3000
- Alright, so use this link. Is there a message above the box telling you why you cannot edit? Try to save something. --Steve (talk) 22:54, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Well,theres no message and I edited it,but theres still no link on my page to edit it.--User:UltraMario3000
Never mind.I just found out how to edit my userpage.--User:UltraMario3000

Mario Fanon
Hey, Steve, can you set up a fanon.mariowiki.com ? I know you say you have Userpedia, but it isn't NIWA material, and it is general Fanon. We need more Fanon wikis, as posted on the Forums Here. I think it is time to start breaking down Fanon spam on Canon wikis. Plus- Don't you agree on finding out what good Fanon lies in the heads of the thousands of users here? I hope you can set up a subdomain for Mario Wiki, and you can just use the staff here there too. Please respond on my talk page soon, I'm ~Peanut64~ And I Approve This Yoshi. 16:24, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Cals
- Whats up steve? I just wanted to advise you that the MarioWiki calendars are not really linked to anything, and I was wondering maybe we could put a Mario calendar on the main page for the corresponding month (for example, this month its november, we could put up the november calendar), this way more people would know about them, since they havent been edited (excluding my edits) in a long while. Does this sound good to you? '

Userpage
Hi Steve. Could you please visit my userpage, because something there seems to be wrong. Part of the logo on the left is cut off and the taskbar thing on the left is smaller than usual when I view it. This only happens when I visit my page, no matter the computer I use. I'm wondering if it happens to anybody other than me. Could you check it out? I'd appreciate it greatly. Bowser's luma 20:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Userpedia Interwiki Link
Hey Porple, on the interwiki table, could you change the link for the Userpedia prefix to "http://userpedia.adriels.com/wiki/$1"? · SMB (Talk) · 05:55, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Why?
Why can't blocked users login? - Bill-tendo 7:45 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Because logging in is a privilege. --Steve (talk) 15:46, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- No, it's not. Other wikis don't do that. Could you just change the rules? By the way, if a user is blocked, she/he can just use Special:EmailUser when they confirmed their email. So, could you change the rules, PLEASE? - Billtn 17:28, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- They can use email user when logged-out? And all websites are different. Why is it so important to you that this setting be changed? --Steve (talk) 17:44, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- BUT, when an anonymous user goes to EmailUser, it says that they have to login with a confirmed email to use EmailUser. Does THIS explain it? And just because your the founder of the Super Mario Wiki doesn't mean you get 2 do anything. My semi-cousin, MiniSonicGuy, who just got blocked by Tucayo, didn't evade a ban and is a trusted user and he can't even login. So change the settings. Okay? --Billtn
- What's so great about being able to login when you can't edit or send email? --Steve (talk) 06:59, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- So that people can be able to give a reason why. --Billtn
- That would be fairly impossible if they can't even edit. Why can't they give a reason via email, the forums, or any other method, Billtn?
MrConcreteDonkey 17:33, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Why?
Why couldn't the Blockedtext just look like this:
Your user name or IP address has been blocked.
This block was made by $1.
- Reason given: $2
- Start of block: $8
- Expiry of block: $6
- Intended blockee: $7
- Block ID: #$5
- Current IP address: $3
You can contact $1 or another administrator to discuss the block. Please include all details in the above box in any queries you make.
Instead of:
ATTENTION: Your username or IP address is currently banned from accessing this site for violations of Super Mario Wiki policy. If you're a currently logged in user and are attempting to edit articles here on the Super Mario Wiki, your editing abilites have also been revoked and blocked.
Ban Reason: $2 If you're a logged in user, check the block log to find your username and see if the block on your account is temporary or permanent (infinite). If the block is "infinite", then you are permanently banned from the site. |
We're sorry, but our records indicate that your username or IP address is currently banned from accessing the Super Mario Wiki. Check the ban reason above for additional details.
If you're an anonymous user attempting to register a new account on this site, chances are that the Super Mario Wiki administrators have blocked a specified IP address/IP range to target a certain user in question (or a "group" of users) for serious abuse (i.e. constant sockpuppeting, blatant vandalism of articles, etc.). This may also be the result of your IP address being "autoblocked" from creating new accounts for a certain amount of time just to evade the ban.
Note that if you are reading this page, this means that you are not allowed to access this site under any circumstances. However, if you believe this ban was handed out as a result of a misunderstanding, you may contact one of the administrators to discuss your situation and make an appeal. Remember that you may not use the "Email this user" feature unless you have a valid email address registered in your user preferences.
Your user name or IP address has been blocked by $1.
Your IP address is $3.
Please include this information in any queries you make. Thank you.

Hey it's Phoenix again...I just had kind of a minor problem I was wondering if you could help me with...see, this dude left a message on my talk page the other day, and every message after that message appears bolded, even ones not left by him (this only happened after he changed his sig though), and from the looks of it, the same thing is happening here...not that this is necessarily a bad thing, it's just kind of..."distracting"...I already checked with MrConcreteDonkey, who checked with Edofenrir, who's apparently a sysop, but they didnt know why it was doing that either...so, I just wanted to know if you know any way to stop that from happening...

I was going through some sites and stuff, and found something (seeing as you said they don't have the permission to edit, you probably have this in the file: I'll bring it up anyway since it's worth checking anyway).
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
Check if that bolded line above is in LocalSettings.php. If it is, then I don't know what to do. But if it isn't, add it... I believe it should work. · SMB (Talk) · 13:59, 29 December 2010 (EST)
- It's already in LocalSettings. --Steve (talk) 19:52, 29 December 2010 (EST)

My Story
Hello Porple. I'm making a story on Userpedia. Can I include you in it? MrConcreteDonkey
Merry 2011!
Hey Porple, just wanted to be the first to wish you a happy New Year! And if I may ask, which do you prefer, COD BLOPS or AC Brotherhood? --Baby Simones 15:27, 31 December 2010 (EST)
- Thanks, happy New Year! And what are these non-Mario games you speak of? I imagine Brotherhood has a better single player and Blops has better multiplayer. --Steve (talk) 16:15, 31 December 2010 (EST)
¡Próspero año nuevo!
Happy new year!!! :D

Wiki Move
Um, porple, the Animal Crossing Wiki has changed its URL - it's now http://nookipedia.com and they want all wikis to update that. So could you change the interwiki table and fix the link on the main page (it's not called the Animal Crossing Wiki anymore, it's now "Nookipedia") Marioguy1 (talk)
Another Anonymous Guest
It appears that another anonymous guest has been able to edit a page. MrConcreteDonkey 08:24, 2 January 2011 (EST)
- We know you can't logout and edit, so I'm guessing these IPs are users getting logged-out mid-edit, or something similar. --Steve (talk) 22:24, 2 January 2011 (EST)
Top editor
Where do I find the list of people by edits? (If there is one, that is.) Vinnie
- The closest thing we have is probably Special:ContributionScores. To look up a specific user we have Special:Editcount. --Steve (talk) 20:36, 3 January 2011 (EST)
So I found out...
I think guests are able to create pages... I recreated MarioWiki:WarioWiki as a guest and logged in to my account and deleted the edit. So I'm not sure if it's just some error on my part or if this is actually an issue. · SMB (Talk) · 13:04, 4 January 2011 (EST)
- When I log out and try to create the page, it looks like this and I cannot edit. How were you able to do it? --Steve (talk) 14:34, 4 January 2011 (EST)
I've added an extra level of security so this should be solved; let me know if you see any more IP edits. --Steve (talk) 15:03, 4 January 2011 (EST)
Gadgets suggestion
Could you add gadgets to this wiki? I can suggest some simple ones. SWFlash
- Maybe at some point. For now I guess you could implement them manually on your css/js pages. --Steve (talk) 18:10, 5 January 2011 (EST)
- But gadgets can do some PHP/AJAX stuff that user js/css can't do. SWFlash
Yo Porple
I have a question for you. Can you add a link to RareWiki and say it is a spinoff of the MarioWiki (Which it is an inactive one) so that more contributors can join. Please some might want to join that website and people may even check it out and it will possibly become more active... I tried asking Walkazo about this and he says I must ask you so anyways thanks and can you please do it... Kaptain K. Rool
- Wikia or RWP one? SWFlash
- Wikia one SWFlash Kaptain K. Rool
- Sorry, the best you could do is add your button to {{Affiliates}}. --Steve (talk) 18:10, 5 January 2011 (EST)
- OK... also can u fix it up? Liamroche 05:38, 6 January 2011 (EST)
Links/Affiliations
Do you mind putting the links on the left or right side of the website so it will be easier to browse places? Also it is MediaWiki:Sidebar I am talking about so try and see if you can do that. Liamroche 05:01, 8 January 2011 (EST)
- That would be too many links; I already think our sidebar is a little too large. --Steve (talk) 14:23, 8 January 2011 (EST)
- Why did you delete the Template:Affiliates from the Main Page? I am sure people possibly wanted to see it. Liamroche 17:36, 8 January 2011 (EST)
Sorry to bother again...
It seems the editing problem was fixed, but...
"(Deletion log); 14:58 . . 68.223.170.177 (Talk | block) restored "MediaWiki:Sidebar2" (22 revisions restored: test...?)"
This was from me logged out, but it's still kind of startling that it was able to be done by an IP at all. o_O · SMB (Talk) · 10:07, 8 January 2011 (EST)
- Yeah, weird. I think the wiki knew it was you but recorded your IP by accident. Either way, Sidebar2 doesn't do anything, so it doesn't need to exist. --Steve (talk) 14:23, 8 January 2011 (EST)
Special:Replacetext
Hi Steve! Do you think we could get that extension, please? --™ The 'Shroom 16:59, 11 January 2011 (EST)
- Let me know what text you want replaced. --Steve (talk) 17:34, 11 January 2011 (EST)
- {{MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/Calendar}} to {{The 'Shroom:Calendar}}, MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/Sign Up to The 'Shroom:Sign Up, MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/Archives to The 'Shroom:Archives, MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/About to The 'Shroom:About and MarioWiki:The 'Shroom/Single to The 'Shroom:Single, please. --™ The 'Shroom 17:54, 11 January 2011 (EST)
- We can use this for the new namespace but searching most other namespaces makes the wiki inaccessible while it scans all the text. --Steve (talk) 18:07, 11 January 2011 (EST)
- Ok, then since those are the most linked to, I'll just leave them as redirects. --™ The 'Shroom 18:08, 11 January 2011 (EST)

Problem
Hey Porplemontage. Sorry if I'm bugging you again, but I have a problem. See, this guy was editing on an archive when he is not supposed to edit on archives. Can you give him a warning? Happy Halloween!
That Problem Thing
It seems as if I have become the official messenger to you about that problem thing with the mini navigation box on the left. It seems to be happening on MarioWiki Talk:Userbox as well. Thanks. Bowser's luma
- It is happening on User:HyperToad as well. What causes that? Bowser's luma
If they are on a user page you probably can't fix them. Keep posting them here! I used to have to hunt them down on my own. --Steve (talk) 14:59, 17 January 2011 (EST)
- This isn't one of them, but "Template:Welcome2" says "MarioWiki:Glossary", not just "Glossary" like it should. Bowser's luma
Could you please check out my userpage? Something is making text at the bottom big. Bowser's luma

Fiction
Hey, Steve. Would you like to cameo in my UP fiction Vengeance, as the star of the children's anime Porple:Wiki Back At Ya!? You will die shortly after that, but it won't actually be mentioned, rather it will be implied. This Is War 12:00, 21 January 2011 (EST)

I just did a few renames on the page. You still have to use the page; it's parliamentary procedure. --Steve (talk) 18:37, 25 February 2011 (EST)

Hello, Porple!
Heyo. First, nice to meet you. I'm Mario Fan 123. Second, the chatroom seems to be deleted and it isn't working fine. Is it under construction? I hope it is back soon. Thank you for you patience. --Mario Fan 123 - Mario's craazy fan! 20:18, 21 January 2011 (EST)

Can you change our chat back to the Java server please? I was so used to that and Mibbit is really confusing for me.:(UM3000

"Logged out" glitch
I'm finding myself logged out when I'm on files (not any file, this and some others) and "log in" page. While editing the file (clicing "view source") I'm logged in again. Tried those stuff like remove cookies, clearing cache, etc. but no luck. SWFlash
Bullet change?
Hello Porplemontage, we over at DK Wiki and Starfy Wiki have begun using a special Monobook.css code that switches bullets (*) with images like sprites and such that would probably look great on mariowiki (maybe switching the bullets with Mushroom sprites?), I think they're also using it at Pikmin Wiki. Anyway if you wanna see our new banana bullets here's the link to DK wiki [2]. -Four Paper Heroes 18:57, 12 February 2011 (EST)
- Also, here's the code: html body.skin-monobook ul {list-style-image: url(insert image url here);} -Four Paper Heroes 18:58, 12 February 2011 (EST)

I'm recently found a bug in SVG images. For example look at this image, in wikipedia the same image looks good. What can fix it? SWFlash
{{Proposal-link}}
Can you unprotect this page? I want to make some changes. (FAQ: Q:What do you want to change? A:It's complicated change. You can revert it anyway if you won't like it) SWFlash
Patroller
- Why don't you make BabyLuigiOnFire a patroller. He seems helpful to the wiki. BTW can I be a patroller? Kaptain K. Rool
Patroller or Sysop
Hi Steve! Sorry I haven`t spoken to you in awhile. Anways, if possible, may I please become a patroller or sysop. I will continue to contribute always, but please consider it! If you can't, can you please tell an administrator? Please!?DKPetey99TCE Bye Steve!

That Reddragon19k…
He reverts my edits. In Wikipedia there's a rule (WP:DWIP or WP:COI, I don't remember) do don't chase people and revert/{{fact}} their writings everywhere. It happened just 2 times (at the same time), so it's not that big deal. SWFlash
Purge confirm
Also, I'm very annoyed by that confirmation if I want to purge the page. I wanted to add it to my userjs, but I'm getting confirmation each time I visit any link. SWFlash
- Why do you want to purge so much? --Steve (talk) 12:27, 26 February 2011 (EST)
- I don't like cashed pages. Also look at the history of File:3D logo.png, I've tried to upload a 100000x11845 pixels wide image, but it wasn't uploaded for iunknow reasons (max. file size is 10Mb, but mine was 5.78Mb). SWFlash
Our max image area is already more than double the MediaWiki default value. There is no reason for the image to be so large. --Steve (talk) 19:27, 26 February 2011 (EST)
steve?
I know your busy but Iv'e got a problem, I submitted this photo and people like it... but it was requested that the image have better quality!and my camera can't handle it!!! please help! :(

Hi
Do you think there should be a requests of adminship page on this wiki because I am sure there are users willing to become a sysop including myself :D. So whats the answer? You created this wiki so you make the rules. Trust me I know what I am doing and my suggestion and there will become more sysops and more better vandal fighters. Thanks. Kaptain K. Rool
- If another admin is needed, we pick somebody. We're not actively looking for new admins 24/7. --Steve (talk) 15:49, 26 February 2011 (EST)
- Where is the link of that proposal? Also it is not really fair because there are aover 10 good faith users not promoted and I don't get it :/. Kaptain K. Rool
Ads
When I'm not logged in, the ads are on the left now. And it makes the articles look screwed up... O_O Mario JC
- When not logged in, the images that are placed on the left side of articles appear at the bottom of the ad, like the Mr. Saturn article. Am I the only one who's having this problem? Mario JC
