| == Color ==
| | Already implementing [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/70#Clarify_coverage_of_the_Super_Smash_Bros._series|that proposal]] I see. Keep it up, trooper. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 19:45, October 23, 2024 (EDT) |
| | | :Thanks. That page looked really dated in parts (I think you removed some bad trivia, which was already a sign), so I took a look over the whole thing. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 19:49, October 23, 2024 (EDT) |
| Our templates generally have some amount of color for ease and thematic purposes, i.e. red templates on Mario games, green on Yoshi, brown on DK, purple on Wario, et cetera, often with colored text to represent multiple characters. If you're worried about your eyes being strained, I'd recommend you do what I do and find ways to turn the screen brightness down lower than it goes by default, which is a Godsend for late working in the dark - I use Intel Graphics Command Center, but you'll need to figure out what you'd need depending on your device.

| :The problem I have with colors and why I like the plain and simple look is because the use of colors is arbitrary, like the bright red on Famicom GP page. The coding for the navigation templates are not on the articles, but the coloring for the tables are.

| ==Other appearances==
| |
| Hi, just to let you know, the "other appearances" sections are not for cameos in general. They're for cameos outside of the games this wiki covers. See [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/57%23Define_the_scope_of_.22Other_appearances.22_sections|relevant proposal]].
| |
| | |
| Also I see you're grouping history sections by series instead of game. Nothing strongly against it for now but I'm curious, what's better about that format? Just want to know. {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 18:52, October 30, 2023 (EDT)
| |
| :Thanks for the heads up about Other appearances. Also, it's arbitrary, but I feel it's necessary if like other sections are too short (e.g. it's redundant if one section after another says "acts the same as in [game]" or "acts the same as in game"). I basically only prefer sections if they are large enough to warrant it, not like if they have 2-3 sentences that can be tied to like a similar release (e.g. if there's only three sentences describing ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''{{'}}s difference from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', I think it's better off to put all the information together. Remakes tend to share an individual section as well, which I think you've seen around a wiki (like 64 / 64 DS), and it can reduce the redundancy of using sentences when having to reintroduce everything in like one or two sentences.

| ::Ah, so reducing redundancy was the reason? Makes sense, really, I have seen those things before. Thanks for clarifying for me! {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 19:02, October 30, 2023 (EDT)
| |
| :::You're welcome. Unfortunately there's not really any black or white solution to the idea of reducing redundancy in wiki text, as 1-2 sentences could be redundant, or 6-7 sentences. [[User:Super Game Gear|Super Game Gear]] ([[User talk:Super Game Gear|talk]]) 19:14, October 30, 2023 (EDT)

| == Trigger-happy info removal ==
| |
| | |
| Your recent mass excision of information from pages like [[Nintendo]], [[iQue]], and [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] on grounds that "it's not related to Mario enough" is pretty misguided. It leaves out historical and technical context that readers may benefit from knowing if they are willing to engage with Mario media specifically. You have reasoned that this much detail is comparable to listing entire in-depth biographies for the people involved in the Mario series, but I'd argue there's a crucial difference: these people are living, breathing beings whose existence isn't tied to a fictional character, meaning there is really only so much you can write about them on this site before the information starts becoming superfluous. With the aforementioned subjects, because they're inherently tied to Nintendo's game development history, they practically exist in symbiosis with Mario's franchise. Even then, I agree that some of the information may ramble in parts, but if you feel like you can reform some of the content to a degree you find reasonable, it's best to first initiate a discussion on the matter--the amount of content concerned here is large enough that it's nigh on guaranteed any attempts at handling it on your own will result in disagreements. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 09:41, November 27, 2023 (EST)

| :Well, I guess what I can say is that this is how we learn along the way. I've run into a few disagreements with my edits before, and I did not start a conflict with them. [[User:Super Game Gear|Super Game Gear]] ([[User talk:Super Game Gear|talk]]) 10:03, November 27, 2023 (EST)

| == Re: Headings ==
| |
| Now I checked the History section of Manual of Style, and found the guideline you told me, I will take your edits to know that I cannot add a History heading to a subject that made one appearance.
| |
| | |
| Also, I saw some articles with the description heading. Observing the edits you made with my previous edits, I took it as articles with little content to not need that 'Description' heading, if I am correct. Thank you for telling me. {{User:Derekblue1/sig}} 01:00, November 29, 2023 (EST)
