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)

Sure. --Steve (talk) 01:35, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

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)

Sure. And if you forget your password again, don't keep entering wrong passwords. I can reset it for you. --Steve (talk) 22:57, 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)

Yeah go for it. --Steve (talk) 17:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Sweet, thanks. ^__^ - Gabumon^(talk) 18:00, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey I think User:Francis21 and User:Cargames are socks. Can you please block them? Thanks. Boo der dash

Thanks. --Steve (talk) 21:13, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

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.

All good. --Steve (talk) 21:44, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

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

Wikia host a lot of wikis, but they don't all come from there. Anyone can install MediaWiki on a webserver and start their own wiki. --Steve (talk) 07:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

NIWA

Shouldn't we have a link to the NIWA page in the menu? MrConcreteDonkey 08:51, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

No, the main page is enough. --Steve (talk) 17:59, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Adverts

Or rather, the lack of them. I just want to know whether this will be permanemt or not, just out of curiosity. This Is War 16:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations, it's permanent. --Steve (talk) 17:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Oops, I made a typo!! But the Adverts? Are they gone forever or not? This Is War 17:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

As long as you're logged in you won't see them (and I wasn't commenting on your typo, sorry if it seemed that way, the change is permanent). --Steve (talk) 18:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

That's cool! Sorry, I did think that at first, but it's okay now. This Is War 17:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Could you please delete whats in the To be deleted category? Its getting full. ' MileyCyrusSoulja

Looks like Tucayo did some work. --Steve (talk) 01:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. I didnt realize you put your talk responses on YOUR talk page instead of mine. Thats why i never replied. Sorry. So how old are you? I'm 12.

Hi

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)

You know, I do own donkeykongwiki.com and could move them. --Steve (talk) 22:24, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello Steve.Think we can be friends.--User:UltraMario3000

I don't see why not. --Steve (talk) 03:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks.BTW why can't I edit my own userpage.--User:UltraMario3000

You should be able to edit it. What happens when you try? --Steve (talk) 21:11, 30 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

25 Years

I was wondering if you were involved in any events for the Mario series' 25th anniversary. I'm sure you could find some way to help promote the Wiki. Maybe you could get on TV or something.

Please respond on my talk page.

Sorry about the talk page but no events. --Steve (talk) 02:18, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey Porple. I was wondering if you know what happened to stooben. I asked him about the shroom but he didn't responsed. Do you know what happened to him? GalladeBlades

Nope, I haven't heard anything. --Steve (talk) 03:33, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Question

Hey Steve,I have a question.Aren't you a sysop of your own wiki.--User:UltraMario3000

Yeah. --Steve (talk) 07:48, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey

Could you please delete the stuff in the To be deleted category? It has over 50 files in it! ' MileyCyrusSoulja

I think the other sysops enjoy deleting things more than I do. --Steve (talk) 05:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi I have a question

Acutally two, but whatever. Number One: When I logged on, I notced my userpage exsisted.Does that mean I got promoted? Number two: Can we be friends? Thanx,Boun C ball.

Your userpage exists because you have been blessed. We are friends. --Steve (talk) 05:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Thanx.--Sig ashley 15:21, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

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)

Hi Its me again. Many comments ago I told you my problem. I think i figured it out. I checked the User rename log and I WAS renamed as you can see here, but somehow it got reset. Do you know how this happened? Thanks. --Its-a-meYoshi!

Maybe I fixed it. --Steve (talk) 00:58, 3 November 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? ' MileyCyrusSoulja

We have that on The 'Shroom. --™ The 'Shroom 01:25, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

You do? Show me the link. ' MileyCyrusSoulja

The link to the Shroom is in the side bar. --™ The 'Shroom 03:06, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

We've had the calendars on the main page; they are not going back. --Steve (talk) 03:12, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Why? They arent really linked to any mainspace, and they need more publicity. Almost nobody knows about them. ' MileyCyrusSoulja

I don't see the MarioWiki Mario Calendars on the shroom anywhere, i need a link directly to it. And Tucayo, i have common sense, i know how to get to the shroom. LOL. ' MileyCyrusSoulja

According to our editor-in-chief, you simply have to host it on a server in a publicly accessible location. Marioguy1 (talk)

OK, just in case you missed this message because of the one placed below, I'll add a second message to draw your attention back to this one. Marioguy1 (talk)

I don't understand. Does the site visitor not need the font installed? --Steve (talk) 04:59, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

As long as it is uploaded into a publicly accessible location, everything should work out fine. Marioguy1 (talk)

Looks like it's publicly accessible on fontspot.com. --Steve (talk) 03:24, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

It has to be accessible on this website, i.e. something like http://mariowiki.com/plumbfont.ttf would work Marioguy1 (talk)

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)

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)

Oh. That's so unfair. I'm gonna quit this wiki. - Bill-tendo 18:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

If you don't change the rules, I'm quitting this wiki! - Bill-tendo 18:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Start a proposal. --Steve (talk) 18:38, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Why can't you explain for him, Billtn? Why can't he email or contact the sysops in any other way? MrConcreteDonkey 16:33, 22 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

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.

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...

Hi, I understand that you are the creator of the wiki. Is it ok if you can change my username? There is this other user that has a similar name as me so I want to change it thanksMaster Koopakid

Yeah, but why did you remove your request from MarioWiki:Changing username? --Steve (talk) 18:35, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Help

I need help on my signature. You know, every text after my signature is bold, right? How do you fix that? Happy Halloween!

Maybe I helped. --Steve (talk) 20:36, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry...

Sorry, but I need help again. When I tried to add a userbox to my userbox tower, every text after my userbox tower came INTO my userbox tower. How can I fix it? Happy Halloween!

Ok. --Steve (talk) 03:14, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

OK it's fixed. Thanks! Happy Halloween!

New stuff

Hey, Steve, is it me or have we now got an edit colour code: green for plus, red for minus and new style tables for image revisions? It seems odd, but cool. This Is War 07:46, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Yeah, I updated the wiki. --Steve (talk) 15:42, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Wiki Maintenance

Wiki Maintenance is all messed up. And User talk:Daisyloves10 is having the same issue that my page was having before (with the thing on the left being wierd). Bowser's luma

And please check out my talk page. The comments at the bottom are coming up real small, and I can't figure out why. Thanks in advance for your help, I know I'm having a lot of issues today! Bowser's luma

I fixed the first two issues, but I don't see anything wrong with your talk page. Post a screenshot or something. --Steve (talk) 16:41, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Possible Wiki software upgrade...?

Yeah, Steve -- I noticed you were doing a bit of backend maintenance early this morning. So I'm to assume that the "Blockedtext" and such for MediaWiki pages are no more around these parts...? --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 22:21, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Blocked users can't login, so that's probably true. --Steve (talk) 22:35, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Anonymous Guests... Can edit now?

Did you intend to allow this, or was it just done in the update by default? · SMB (Talk) · 23:29, 28 December 2010 (EST)

Not intended. Guests don't have the edit right, and when I logout and try to edit, everything seems normal and I cannot edit. Can you help me figure out how that IP was able to edit? --Steve (talk) 04:30, 29 December 2010 (EST)

Well, here are the links to the two IPs I found editing: 74.82.64.32 and 774.82.64.18. 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)

I'm sorry to say that I don't know what else can be done to fix this. I guess the least I can do to help is patrolling through edits until the problem can be fixed. · SMB (Talk) · 16:39, 30 December 2010 (EST)

Actually, upon double-checking, it seems the problem was fixed. I tried editing logged-out and couldn't, so you seem to have fixed it. Anywho, I suppose I'll still patrol through some edits anyway. :P · SMB (Talk) · 16:44, 30 December 2010 (EST)

I noticed that I couldn't edit when logged out a few messages up; I haven't changed any settings. --Steve (talk) 21:18, 30 December 2010 (EST)

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)

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)

Yeah yeah happy New Year! --Steve (talk) 03:20, 1 January 2011 (EST)

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)

Hm... I don't know, really. I was just able to. It had the "Your IP address will be recorded" and stuff like that, and I was able to. This is really ... peculiar matter. o_O · SMB (Talk) · 14:43, 4 January 2011 (EST)

Yep, there's a bug somewhere alright. --Steve (talk) 14:51, 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)

You're probably right. I don't think any other IP has done anything like this, so it's probably something of the sort. And okay about the Sidebar2 thing. · SMB (Talk) · 18:08, 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)

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!

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)

You shouldn't need to clear the cache. Resolution was too high on the image. --Steve (talk) 15:49, 26 February 2011 (EST)

Way too high? Update your mediawiki software then, any other wikis can. SWFlash
