User talk:Mario

It's-a me, Mario! This the page to go to if you need to ask questions, file complaints, compliment on my good contributions (and looks), or make death threats. Well, aside from baseless threats, I will likely respond to your posts. I am an administrator after all. Don't be scared of me, I will not bite, especially if you notify me of any missteps, mistakes, misunderstandings, and misstomps (if you do so maturely and timely).

List of brown furniture
Hello Mario, I have a question on the list of furniture. It won't let me write anymore and there's a bunch more brown Furniture I was wondering if you can add next 200 page on that one if possible? -- NateKimble (talk) 14:47, February 5, 2015 (EST)

Re: Chat?
Hmm... what to chat about... Got it! Do you have an account on Miiverse or on Super Mario Wiki?

John, please answer or chat with me, ok? (talk) 03:20, March 8, 2015 (EDT)

Smash Bros.
Hey, Mario, just wanted to thank you for reuploading all those Smash Bros. logos for each of the series represented by a fighter. When I uploaded them, supposedly getting them off of Smash Wiki (the NIWA one, not the abomination nesting in the parasitical realm of Wikia), I must have failed to notice they were nothing more than poorly drawn traces. My eyes just aren't what they used to be. Haha. --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 01:09, March 27, 2015 (EDT)

How can you tell if a user has an alternate account (sockpuppet)?
How can you?

HHA Themes
Should I make "List of Sci-Fi furniture" or just make a Sci-Fi page and list there? We currently have a List of red furniture items article so I'd like to ask what is the better course of action? 23:46, May 29, 2015 (EDT)

Replies
Hey, Mario. I noticed that you (and some other people as far as I see) don't actually reply in the talk page of the person who started the conversation, unlike most wikis. Is this a thing in Nookipedia or you just do this alone for personal reasons? Sorry, I'm just curious about how you guys handle things here in the wiki. 01:41, May 30, 2015 (EDT)

Bureaucrat
I know many aren't a fan of a big bureaucracy (hahaha, government jokes), but I was thinking now would be a great time if you would like to run for a promotion to Bureaucrat. You've got the experience and attitude that I think is more than fit enough for the tools :) ~Super Hamster  Talk 21:43, May 31, 2015 (EDT)

Question about deletion
When you delete a page because it's just gibberish/nonsense, spam, etc, why don't you protect the page after deleting it since it's just vandalism/nonsense(unless it's recreated multiple times)

--50.136.149.237 13:11, June 1, 2015 (EDT)

Re:Protect
It's not just IP editing. It's regular users who can't edit it either. Unless things have been updated since your last visit here.

Thank you vandals, by the way. 12:02, June 2, 2015 (EDT)
 * You're right. You can't edit. Let me see about this by posting in this thread. I hope it gets resolved quickly! 14:31, June 2, 2015 (EDT)
 * BTW, I can confirm it to you that I am indeed an autoconfirmed user. I checked my usergroup, I'm autoconfirmed. 14:33, June 2, 2015 (EDT)
 * All right, then, looks like an additional detail to add. Mama mia, I had a small editing issue too right when the restrictions were implemented. Yes, that's right, a sysop unable to edit Nookipedia! ;P 14:41, June 2, 2015 (EDT)

Re:Digit Furniture
What's better, organizing them by furniture or by color? I organized the Robo series customs by color, you seem to do it by furniture? 16:20, June 4, 2015 (EDT)
 * The reason I prefer by color is that when people tend to make these customizations to the series, they tend to have a consistent color (for example, I usually see Black/Blue Astro series furniture next to each other). That's why I followed suit by making them all the same color. I guess it could be case-by-case basis. BTW, could you go on Steam so I could chat to you? 16:34, June 4, 2015 (EDT)
 * Eh both are technically correct. It's really hard to choose. Of course, personally, I prefer my way, if you know me (and you know me too well). 16:39, June 4, 2015 (EDT)
 * Aren't those, like, themes, not series? I say we do whatever is best for the series. Like you know the lovely series all can be colored black? Or alpine be colored some other thing consistently across all furniture? 16:45, June 4, 2015 (EDT)

Sorry
Hello Mario, I just wanted to apologize for messing up the Mossy Garden Theme and Backyard Theme I thought those furniture pieces were called that in the handheld versions. So if you say there called that from the guides I will not mess both of those up again. Thanks for letting me know what there actually called. -- NateKimble (talk) 14:35, June 30, 2015 (EDT)

Whoops... what do I do now?
I forgot to use the move function to move the edit history of the Public Bath Theme before creating its new page at Spa Theme. I've redirected it for now... but what do we do? Should the Spa Theme page be deleted and then the Public Bath Theme moved so the edit history can be preserved or...? Any help would be appreciated.  ( talk )  14:22, July 17, 2015 (EDT)

How to check how many edits you made?
I need to check to I can put a userbox on my page. :PPPPPPPP - HomerJC (talk) 15:54, July 25, 2015 (EDT)

Question
How do you make a sig? - HomerJC (talk) 16:42, July 25, 2015 (EDT)
 * What? 16:47, July 25, 2015 (EDT)
 * Edited to make sense - HomerJC (talk) 16:50, July 25, 2015 (EDT)
 * Follow what's outlined in this page. If you're stuck, especially in the page-creation part, you can let me know. Check other users' signatures to see how they do it, but I think the page offers a pretty good outline of what to expect. 19:26, July 25, 2015 (EDT)
 * Thank you SO much.
 * You're welcome. I suggest editing the page to include a link to your userpage and perhaps using a different image since the doggie mask image is a personal image. 20:00, July 25, 2015 (EDT)
 * Link done, Personal image will fix later
 * Mario, why aren't you online much? - 02:17, July 26, 2015 (EDT)
 * And I need a picture of the Videotape from AC.
 * Well, I have other things like video games and nighttime. I'm not active 24/7 like most users. :P 13:48, July 26, 2015 (EDT)
 * The Videotape from AC is gonna be used for Template:Video Wanted. - 20:32, July 26, 2015 (EDT)
 * No picture of the Videotape on Google Images. - 14:25, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * What is the Videotape though? Is it a furniture item? Because I might be able to dig out an image of it if you need one badly. 17:27, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * It's like a lost item, you cant do anything with it but, however, it isn't found on the ground and gotten from villagers. - 17:30, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * All right, so I haven't played the GCN game really. I'm not sure where to start looking, since scanning the FAQs in GameFAQs don't seem to help. 17:45, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * I found a UC. Is that ok? - 17:47, July 27, 2015 (EDT)

 * I'm not sure where we're going with this. Why are you giving me a universal code? Just wondering? 18:10, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * Giving you one for you to get the videotape, screenshot the item and upload it on the site. - 18:11, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * I don't have the game though. But I suppose the code is here if I ever get around to playing it, though. :/ 18:15, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * One word: EMULATORS. - 18:15, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * Well, I do know emulators, but I don't know if I'm going to go through the hassle of obtaining ROMs (which is illegal, but more importantly, takes up a lot of space in my hard drive) and starting up Dolphin and inputting the code right now. :/ 18:25, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * Found a broken ROM: [link removed] - 18:39, July 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * As I said, obtaining ROMs is illegal. In short of private messages and email, you're not allowed to post links to ROMs here. I myself can obtain ROMs when I need to, but I don't have the time right at this moment to get it, especially when I think of my mental to-do list, which involved obtaining a ROM of City Folk (for the furniture pages). 18:58, July 27, 2015 (EDT)

Beautiful images
Hi! I wanted to upload some images for the Beach Item list. Then I saw some of your screenshots, to be exact the ones from the Kitchen Item page, and they looked fabulous. So I cutted my screenshots as well and made them the same width as your pictures (f.e: 75 x 97). But now they look fuzzy and ugly in the preview, also the size is only about 3 KB or less. Could you give me advice? How do I have to edit them before uploading, so that they look good? Or does this happen only in the preview picture when you upload something? Thanks in advance :) Maxwellot (talk) 07:27, July 28, 2015 (EDT)


 * Thanks you were right, the pictures do look better when they are in place. As you see this was my first experience and they dont look very symmetrical.. I mean they are all 75x wide but the height differs very much, because my computer automatically fits it to the width. I will work on that and I hope I find a solution for future screenshots.

HomerJC
Hey Mario, it has been a while since we talked and you might recognize me from our last encounter. Yeah, it's me mlnintendo97 again.

Anyway, I happened to notice a user by the name of HomerJC editing a few pages that are on or associated with my userspace. I only bring this up as I happened to look into his Contribs. and I seen he has been abusing his editing power. I would very much appreciate you looking after my userspace in the event he tries to change something on my userspace as I do not have the time as I used to when I was staff to look after things such as this. Thank you! :) - Poizon Mushro0m  17:15, July 28, 2015 (EDT)

 * Homer, I have put in a request for your account to be banned if you keep up your unconstructive behavior. Please edit responsibly and not put images on someone's talk page without their discretion. ~ Poizon  Mushro0m  16:26, July 31, 2015 (EDT)

Site Maintenance
Hey Mario, Poizon again! I have wanted to get back into the wiki editing fray, but have had issues trying to find needed edits. Do you have anywhere in the wiki that could use some assistance? I can also assist in template make as well. Thanks! ~ Poizon Mushro0m  21:54, August 21, 2015 (EDT)

Delete these edits
There's a user the goes by "TheMoonman" or something like that. Anyways, he/she has been spamming pages with racist comments. Please delete those comemnts from the history of those pages. As far as I know, some pages that were affected were grasshopper and Lyman. Heidy.isabel (talk) UPDATE they have been deleted, so don't worry about it Heidy.isabel (talk)
 * Thanks for notifying. I have also blocked the user indefinitely. 20:55, August 24, 2015 (EDT)

Re:Vandals
Yeah, sorry about that :P. Looking back, I was definitely too soft on TheMoonman (another editor said that his edits were adding racist content or something?). As for RicardoAstley or whatever he was called, his editing was rather unconstructive and I had strong suspicions that he was a sock of Peanutz, and some other permanently blocked vandals, but as only an Administrator, I can't have concrete proof.

What does sysop mean?
Here on this page it says:

"17:04, June 5, 2015 Mario (Talk | contribs) protected "Nookipedia:About trolling"‎ ‎[create=sysop] (indefinite) (Repeatedly recreated) (hist)"

I don't know what a sysop is.

46.101.6.118 15:58, September 8, 2015 (EDT)


 * It's another name for an administrator. These are users who have a few extra tools to help with the maintenance and rule-enforcement on this site. They can block users or IP addresses from editing, delete pages, and much more besides. Red   (snappity snap snap!)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 11:51, September 9, 2015 (EDT)

Are patrollers, directors, and bureaucrats able to create pages that are "create=sysop" protected?

89.253.141.118 13:54, September 9, 2015 (EDT)


 * Bureaucrats and directors can, because those users are already administrators. Patrollers can't; patroller is the rank below administrator. Actually, the latter were able to edit and create protected pages until a MediaWiki update changed everything. Red   (snappity snap snap!)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 14:01, September 9, 2015 (EDT)
 * Interesting. I was able to edit as a patroller back then but I suppose that's changed. I think we should extend the patroller's edit privileges to edit protect pages since they're trusted users anyhow. 16:34, September 10, 2015 (EDT)

Why are some pages protected so only sysop/admins can create it and some are protected so only autoconfirmed users can create it? I don't know

--24.23.185.91 16:11, September 12, 2015 (EDT)
 * We tend to keep protecting to a minimum. Generally, we semi-protect pages when they pertain to future releases or high-traffic pages to filter out bad or questionable edits done by I.P.s. More important pages, such as our policy pages, get full protection since only staff should really be allowed to edit pages. If there are minor issues on staff-protected pages, users generally have to inform the staff members to make corrective edits. 00:16, September 13, 2015 (EDT)

I mean pages protected from creation, not already existing pages.

--24.23.185.91 20:41, September 14, 2015 (EDT)


 * It's done when a page is created repeatedly with the same name, so it can't be created with that name again. TBH, it probably won't stop persistent vandals, but we have to do what we can. Red   (snappity snap snap!)  Red snapper (Wild World).gif 14:08, September 15, 2015 (EDT)
 * Otherwise, there is really no reason to protect pages from creation. But it's nothing to worry about if you're not a sysop. 17:21, September 15, 2015 (EDT)

I know most pages repeatedly recreated get protected so only autoconfirmed users can make it, but some are "create=sysop" protected(like the "Nookipedia:About trolling" page). Are pages that are "create=sysop" protected usually recreated by auto confirmed users?

--24.23.185.91 18:42, September 15, 2015 (EDT)
 * When it's "create=sysop", that means only sysops can create them, and that usually means no one since that's treated like a restriction. i.e. No sensible sysop would seriously create such a page after all, but it's protected so no one can create it. 15:21, September 16, 2015 (EDT)

Why would some deleted pages be protected so only sysops can make it?

--24.23.185.91 17:16, September 16, 2015 (EDT)
 * Red Snapper said, "It's done when a page is created repeatedly with the same name, so it can't be created with that name again." 17:07, September 17, 2015 (EDT)

Yeah but what is another reason why a page would be "create=sysop" protected besides repeatedly recreated? I don't understand!

--24.23.185.91 18:00, September 17, 2015 (EDT)
 * That's pretty much the only reason, at least that I can think of. -- Ja ke  22:48, September 17, 2015 (EDT)
