The first eleven months. The summer of '08. The winter of discontent. The spring of squelching superfluous spaces. The sporadic fall. The absentee school semester of 2009-2010 The age of the new computer The new computer's last springtime The hectic half of 2011 The first chunk of 2012 was even worse

Status: Busy, but what else is new? If you have questions or need help with any editing business, ask away, and I'll respond as soon as possible.

{{Super Mario Bros.}}

Hey Walkazo, it's me Coincollector. As I'm seeing you changing the nav Templates regarding to the new proposal you made for them, Do you remember our talk in the forums about this template that has this particular header? Is it still possible to have this header for the gallery template? ¢oincoll€ctor

What was the proposal about, exactly? Because I noticed that you changed the color of the {{WL4}} template to a greenish color, but that doesn't really suit anything in the game. The previous colors of yellow and purple matched Wario's clothes. But my question is, under what circumstances was the template made green?

The proposal was about approving an overhaul to the Navigation Template policy, which involves changing all the colours of all the game/series-based templates to fit this chart. It was greenish-yellow because the Wario Land games are part of the yellow Wario series, yet are related to the olive green Super Mario Land series. - Walkazo 19:05, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

I understand now. Thank you for the reply! So the other games in the Wario Land Series will get a template change too?

Yep. I've been updating the templates slowly yet steadily since the proposal passed, and with no school for the next few days, I'm planning to get the rest of them done. As I go through all the templates, I'm making notes of ones that'll need to be merged or fixed - or things that'll need to be written into the policy which I hadn't anticipated when I first wrote it. Fortunately, I quite like doing maintenance stuff like this by myself, so it'll be a fun couple days. - Walkazo 19:23, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

Okay! If I can help in any way, just let me know :)

Will do! =) - Walkazo 19:27, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

Was the removal of the images in the {{Super Mario Bros.}} template a part of your proposal as well? Because I was planning to put images in the {{WL4}} template, as seen here.

Shokora (talk · edits)

Yeah, sorry, removing the image is part of the plan. I do want to keep the SMB design for the Galleries and whatnot (see here for specifics), but that's it. - Walkazo 17:01, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Fine with Mii!

Should I make this change?

If a page links to something like Atomic Boo and it redirects it to the Big Boo page, could I change that first page to link instead to Atomic Boo? BigDiesel2m 00:19, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

There is no "Atomic Boo" section so that wouldn't work; the specific game section can be linked to, but seeing as it's all the same thing, just with different names, there's not usually a huge need for that. - Walkazo 10:36, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I see my foolish formatting folly. If I instead had it link to Atomic Boo, it would be correct. Alternatively, we could adjust the redirect page itself, though I personally like it better when a page links straight to the appropriate section rather than through a redirect. BigDiesel2m 22:59, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

It's always better to avoid resorting to redirects: ideally, they're a tool for searching, not linking. - Walkazo 19:13, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

I love that opinion. I'm off to go make a few changes. I think my plan is to just empty out the "What Links Here" pages for the redirect pages. Sounds like fun. BigDiesel2m 23:50, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Re:Userspace

That was for speedy placing, but… :/ (no, I'm not complaining that) But I can't edit the redirect, it's kinda protected :/. -- MarioSmasher 02:00, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

By the way

Could you please check this please? I need to add some info on the template, but it's protected. -- MarioSmasher 10:36, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

Done. --NewSMBU (talk) 11:50, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

I just wanted to say thank you for that info you gave me about images. Thanks.
