The State of this Wiki
Hello. I would like to start by saying that I am technically not new here, though it has been a LONG time since I have been here. I was most often on here during the Bentendo days in 2010 and 2011. Then a little more recently I would pop in here and there a couple of years ago to try to assess the state of things for this wiki. I found that there weren't many consistent contributors at that time, and many of the newer articles lacked quality. Rocketslime_1_1 and I talked back and forth, trying to figure out how things could be improved. And so after another long hiatus, I was disheartened to discover that even he has become inactive.

So, I hope that this does not seem rude, but how would you honestly describe the current state of this wiki? Is there a sufficient number of reliable contributors these days? Do most of these articles have a good level of quality?

Again, I hope I am not being rude. I would just really like to return and help make this wiki the best it can be. But obviously I can really only do very little. So I would just like to know how much slack has been picked up since I last checked in a couple of years ago.

Wyluca2 (talk) 01:47, November 10, 2017 (UTC)Wyluca2

The current state of the wiki is alright. There isn't that many contributors but, most of the ones that are contributing are pretty good. A good portion of the articles are a decent level of quality though a fair share need to be reworded since they copy from other wikis and several need to be expanded on. I think we are a bit lacking on covering particular aspects of games. For instance, we don't really have any pages for Splatoon weapons, not all the kingdoms from Super Mario Odyssey have pages and certain major locations like Skyloft don't have pages yet.

There's been a bit more of a focus in the past few years on Nintendo staff with most of Nintendo's games having credit pages and many of their employees getting pages (particularly the ones with interviews or pictures) so if you can find credits to games that don't already have credit pages, that would be welcome (just posting a link in the forums is fine if you don't have time). Astrogamer (talk) 06:55, November 10, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the response
Thank you for responding. Your answer is pretty much what I was expecting, though I think things have improved from a few years ago.

It is disconcerting, though, to hear that important things like Skyloft still have no pages, even six years after the game came out. When talking with Rocketslime, I remember making a big deal out of pages like Dark Pit being a stub.

What really was a big help back when I was really active was that we had people from other wikis also coming here to help. We had someone focussing on Animal Crossing, someone focussing on Donkey Kong, someone focussing on Pokémon, someone on Pikmin, etc. It would be nice to try to draw people like that here again, but you obviously also have to try to avoid drama at the same time.

What I really see that you need help with is that there are articles that are good, but out of date. For example, Bowser's article does not go beyond Galaxy 2. It would probably be a pretty good idea for his article to also talk about 3D Land, 3D World, and especially Odyssey.

It's kind of the same thing for Ganon. No information about Breath of the Wild. I have a feeling that there are a lot more examples like that that I could find.

Poppi
I saw that you fused the pages of the two Poppi, they are not the same characters unlike Pyra and Mythra, we even have gameplay where Tora has both of them equipped at the same time. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 20:55, November 14, 2017 (UTC)

I was double checking the Direct and the Poppi beta looks to be an alternate mode that she transforms into. I checked the Japanese site and while it shows that he has both of them equipped, that isn't enough proof considering you can only have one blade out at a time. It's more evidence that the site calls alpha just Hana with beta being Hana JK and that they share VA to point that Poppi just transforms in battle.

Edit: Found a proper translation of the site. For Poppi Beta's description, i t says:  a powered-up version of Poppi

Astrogamer (talk) 21:25, November 14, 2017 (UTC)

You're not against the idea to separate those pages again if we discover that the Poppi are not the same character once the game is out? If you have nothing against it, I don't have any problem with the fusion of the pages until we get clearer informations. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 21:40, November 14, 2017 (UTC)

That's reasonable. Astrogamer (talk) 22:02, November 14, 2017 (UTC)

Discussions and Forums
Hi there! I don't know if we ever asked you guys if you'd be interested in enabling Discussions, our Forum feature replacement we developed for our communities last year. We no longer support Special:Forums and will be sun-setting that feature eventually (no set date yet). In the meantime, we have switched all new communities to Discussions and are manually enabling it on already established communities who are willing to make the change now.

Discussions is a feature that users can use to post questions, thoughts, images, links, videos and polls. They can upvote posts and even share them on social media. Users can edit their posts for the first 24 hours, but Admins and Moderators can edit posts anytime. Users can report posts they feel do not comply with our guidelines, or that of the community. Admins and Moderators can remove them. We give you the tools you need. Since the introduction of Discussions, we have seen a pretty big increase in community interaction. You can find more information on Discussions here.

As part of the process, we can import your current Forums into Discussions. Your current Forum can co-exist with Discussions temporarily if necessary but we would prefer to just import them into Discussions when we enable it. The current forum topic would be imported as categories, so everything stays in order. You can learn more about migration here.

Let me know if your community would like to have Discussions enabled and your forums imported, or if you'd like to keep forums and enable discussions. I would be happy to take care of it for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Thanks so much! Jamie (profile)•(talk) 22:21, November 22, 2017 (UTC)

I think we would like to import forums into Discussion. Astrogamer (talk) 16:38, November 25, 2017 (UTC)


 * Great! I'll get that ball rolling for migrations. It should take a week or so. Thanks so much! Jamie (profile)•(talk) 03:21, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

Portraits for the Fire Emblem character pages
Should we really use character portraits as normal character artwork in the Infobox templates? Just wondering. PSI Fire 18:41, December 2, 2017 (UTC)

For the Fates characters, they don't have official art beyond that. The 4koma art isn't really official enough. Astrogamer (talk) 20:54, December 2, 2017 (UTC)

One more question, is there any requirements here to swap out a character image on the main pages? PSI Fire 22:20, December 2, 2017 (UTC)

Not really. It should be generallly official artwork but, it isn't 100% needed if there isn't any recent avaiable ones Astrogamer (talk) 00:54, December 3, 2017 (UTC)

Aegis
I changed the page to Pneuma due to the true nature of the Aegis, it is not only Pneuma but two other Blades. I created a section in the "Blade" page about the meaning of Aegis, calling Pneuma's page "Aegis" is incorrect. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 07:12, December 16, 2017 (UTC)

I changed it back to Aegis because I don't want to spoil people at this point. For a long RPG, I want at least a few months to pass before major page content reflects endgame spoilers.

Astrogamer (talk) 15:01, December 16, 2017 (UTC)

Ok, understandable. Excuse me but without context this change was really confusing, I think I will create the spoilery pages later and concentrate on the pages related to the first two game for the moment. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 20:36, December 16, 2017 (UTC)

Featured Articles
Hey, about the featured articles template that you got rid of, I only added it because I thought the Nintendo Wiki could use a featured articles template. Other Wikis have them, so why not the Nintendo Wiki as well?

Abrouwe1 (talk) 18:56, February 17, 2018 (UTC)

We have one already. It's on the main page though it hasn't been updated in a while since nobody has been giving nominations. Articles can be marked as Featured Articles using the Head template by putting something in the featured category.

Astrogamer (talk) 19:11, February 17, 2018 (UTC)

Okay, and how do I do that?

Abrouwe1 (talk) 19:21, February 17, 2018 (UTC)

Classic Editor
Do you know if the ability to switch between mode in the classic editor was removed or if it is a problem that is exclusive to me? --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 03:10, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

I can still access it. Astrogamer (talk) 04:58, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Then it must be just me. I am not using my regular PC right now so that must be the cause. Thanks. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 06:38, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Hey, uh, I'm a new Fandom contributor. I was messing around with the menu when it said I could start a Wiki of my own. I decided to give it a try and see what it was all about when it said that there was an error and I needed to reconfirm my email address. I did and it still said that I needed to reconfirm my email. Is this supposed to happen or am I doing something wrong?12Mr.18Master05 (talk) 23:34, April 1, 2018 (UTC)

I'm not actual staff at Fandom so I don't know the specifics of it but, I'd assume that Fandom likely has a waiting period for new contributors to reduce spam. I'm not sure of how long this period would be but, if I had to guess, it would be a few days Astrogamer (talk) 01:58, April 2, 2018 (UTC)

Why was my edit reverted
Why was my edit on Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions rollbacked? I’m pretty sure I didn’t vandalize, I just added a photo to the page. Why was it reverted? The RPG Gamer

I moved it to the actual gallery and reverting it was the simplest way to remove it from the wrong place.

Games in Collections
I was wondering if pages of games that were only released on Nintendo systems in collections (Mega Man 8, Street Fighter III, Mega Man X games after 3, etc.) should get there own page or just put the info on the collections page. Captainfishlip (talk) 23:25, May 9, 2018 (UTC)

I think it should just be a quick summary in the collection unless it appears in multiple collections. Astrogamer (talk) 03:21, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

Ok so a page can be made for a game as long as it appears in more then one collection? Captainfishlip (talk) 04:19, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

What about the games like Street Fighter III games and Street Fighter Alpha 3. Those games were originally released for the arcades. Should we have separate articles from them? LaytonPuzzle27 (talk) 13:18, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

No, arcade games unaffiliated with Nintendo do not need pages. Astrogamer (talk) 14:02, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

That is a shame because I actually was planning to make separate articles on the Street Fighter III games and the arcade version of Street Alpha 3 and now based off what you those articles will never be made. LaytonPuzzle27 (talk) 20:07, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism on the Smash Switch page
I noticed that the Smash Switch page is getting vandalised regularly since its creation. I wonder if you think we should protect the page from new users. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 16:57, June 4, 2018 (UTC)

In Response to Your Message
Excuse me? Since when was Super Mario Bros. 2 called "The Lost Levels" outside of the American Super Mario Allstars? Where are you getting this information? I was trying to make the page more technically accurate, as these pages are supposed to be. Also, lets say someone wants to make a Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels page. You know, the actual The Lost Levels. Wouldn't it be confusing for two pages to call the game The Lost Levels, while one is an 8-Bit original (N O T T  called The Lost Levels) and a remake (which yes called The Lost Levels).

You see what I mean? Slow W O K E (talk) 06:50, June 6, 2018 (UTC)

It's everywhere. Go to Wikipedia, Super Mario Wiki (both), Gamefaqs, Mobygames, and last but not least, Nintendo's own pages for Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels for the Virtual Console releases on the Wii, 3DS and Wii U. All these sources list the game's title as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.

New Portals
Hello. Could you put the Splatoon, Pikmin and Xenoblade portals on the home page, please? I would do it myself but I don't know how to properly opperate this part of the home page. This could probably help those newer series to be noticed by users willing to create and edit pages related to them. Thanks. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 16:26, June 22, 2018 (UTC)

After messing around with the Home page for a while, I actually found a way to make the portal section way less messy than it was by simply forcing the new portals on it. It could be way easier to add new portals to the home page without messing its whole structure up if we need to now. Anyway, thanks for your help. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 16:31, June 24, 2018 (UTC)

PR Contacts (Regarding Promo Arts for Mario Tennis Aces)
Hey there, Astrogamer; M. C. here - just snagging the chance to get in contact with you - I honestly didn't know that you were a bureaucrat for this wiki! Anyway, I was wondering if since you and others are trying to make sure to get HQ art asset media stuff for this wiki itself - do you have any PR contacts on your end? Because I'm sure I'm not the only one who's still waiting on the rest of said promo arts for Mario Tennis Aces to surface in their original resolutions so that they can be added here accordingly (and it's been a few days after the game release already). --MeritC (talk) 20:28, June 25, 2018 (UTC)

Ignoring E3 (where Nintendo makes a special E3 press account that uses a general username and password and has a bunch of HQ assets for games at E3), I generally look for gaming news outlets to release the assets with press releases (GoNintendo and Gematsu are generally good about it) or look at other wikis that have HQ art. I think Yoshi.Noir has a proper press account so he tends to directly upload them. Astrogamer (talk) 21:38, June 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * Never heard of Gematsu; what is their site address, by any chance? Also, I think I've contacted Yoshi.noir before, but hasn't replied back to previous inquiries I sent his way as of late (don't get on his case; I can understand if he's that busy at this time). Also, hopefully Gematsu and/or GoNintendo can reach the breakthrough in getting those remaining art assets that we haven't seen yet since March and/or the E3 2018 press media. --MeritC (talk) 21:57, June 25, 2018 (UTC)

Gematsu.com. It's a site mostly for Japanese gaming news but, they still cover major news and upload a gallery of all the press material in usually high quality. I suspect that Nintendo probably hasn't released artwork and may not ever so, it would be better to rely on model rips for them. Nintendo doesn't always release all the relevant art in high quality.

Astrogamer (talk) 01:36, June 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * That I'm already aware of, and I'm still keeping fingers crossed that we'll get most, if not all, eventually. I know I'm not the only one who's still waiting to this day for the breakthrough to come. --MeritC (talk) 17:33, July 5, 2018 (UTC)

Famicom Classic Mini Jump Edition
I have a question about the games Famicom Classic Mini Jump Edition shown on this list: Which of these games would likely to have age rating CERO B from the question marks? LaytonPuzzle27 (talk) 17:32, July 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Ankoku Shinwa: Yamato Takeru Densetsu (CERO: ??)
 * Captain Tsubasa/ Tecmo Cup Soccer Game (CERO: A)
 * Captain Tsubasa 2 (CERO: A)
 * Tenchi o Kurau/ Destiny of an Emperor (CERO: ??)
 * Dragon Ball 3: Gokuden (CERO: A)
 * Dragon Ball Z: Kyoushuu! Saiyajin (CERO: A)
 * Dragon Ball: Shenron no Nazo (CERO: A)
 * Dragon Quest (CERO: A)
 * Famicom Jump: Hero Retsuden (CERO: ??)
 * Famicom Jump II: Saikyou no Shichinin (CERO: ??)
 * Hokuto no Ken (CERO: B)
 * Hokuto no Ken 3: Shin Seiki Souzou Seiken Restuden (CERO: B)
 * Kinnikuman: Kinnikusei Oui Soudatsusen (CERO: A)
 * Kinnikuman: Muscle Tag Match/Tag Team Match: MUSCLE (CERO: A)
 * Magical * Taruruuto-kun: Fantastic World!! (CERO: A)
 * Rokudenashi Blues (CERO: ??)
 * Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu (CERO: A)
 * Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu Kanketsuhen (CERO: A)
 * Sakigake!! Otokojuku Shippuu Ichi Gou Sei (CERO: A)
 * Sekiryuuou (CERO: ??)

I haven't played those games so I don't have a clear idea. Besides, if they don't have an official rating from CERO, it would best to leave it alone.

Updated with new information
Hey Astrogamer! I'm basically new here and was trying to see if I can have help with editing. Apparently when I start to edit some pages, either:

1. The release date for the game gets entered, but does not appear when finalizing the edit.

2. I have this weird blue/green box that appears in the way and does not let me edit, like on the Nintendo 64 game list page.

Nintendofan07 (talk) 14:33, August 7, 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the first thing. The Nintendo 64 list uses a tabber which means you have to be in source mode to edit it. Additionally, it uses templates so, all the data that can be editted in has to be editted on the template's pages instead of the actual page. Astrogamer (talk) 19:12, August 7, 2018 (UTC)

The game Number Battles and the game Make 10: A Journey of Numbers are two different games, so I don't believe that Number Battles should redirect to Make 10. TheAmazingRaspberry (talk) 15:14, August 19, 2018 (UTC)

Nintendo Directs Highlights
Hiya guy, I will undo it, but it's kinda worthy (as not any wiki have covered the directs' highlights)

Maybe it's the reason that the article is ranked C? Lol

The page would be so messy? So, help me choosing a name for a new page. ww97 (talk) 18:29, October 21, 2018 (UTC)

Organizing it into a table would be better with a new column for being for the video itself and another listing a couple notable highlights for each Direct. The complete breakdown could be on the video page for each Direct. Astrogamer (talk) 03:51, October 22, 2018 (UTC)

All right, but not anyone is interested to watch the videos. Footage of some JP only directs is now remained only on NicoNico, which is a big hurdle to watch ww97 (talk) 08:15, October 22, 2018 (UTC)

KevinSquidy (talk) 22:17, November 10, 2018 (UTC)

No because most games have beta / unused content. It's better served as a part of the development section on the game's page. Astrogamer (talk) 22:37, November 10, 2018 (UTC)

But how?. KevinSquidy (talk) 22:38, November 10, 2018 (UTC)

What do you mean? You would type up a paragraph describing the feature or location and its purpose along with maybe why it was cut. If it is something like a notable tech demo, it can get it's own page (like Super Mario 128 and the Wii U tech demos) but, if it's something minor, it probably doesn't need to be on this wiki.

If you want to describe the beta content for Mario Kart Wii, I think the most notable are the possible cut characters and the cut Mission Mode. The beta courses aren't too noteworthy since they are mostly the same but, they could be mentioned on the course's pages. Astrogamer (talk) 23:07, November 10, 2018 (UTC) You could do the course pages while I will do the Mario Kart Wii page listing all the beta content. KevinSquidy (talk) 23:09, November 10, 2018 (UTC)

Final Fantasy 7 Characters
Why did you delete all the Final Fantasy 7 character pages? Even though it hasn't been released on the Switch yet doesn't mean there can't be pages on the characters. Captainfishlip (talk) 17:39, November 24, 2018 (UTC)

Well part of it is that you literally just copied other wiki's content for the page and gave no other context for the character. Also FF7 itself has barely any history with Nintendo even with the port so, if you don't incorporate any extended series context in relation with Nintendo, it isn't relevant enough. It's like creating pages for CoD or Dragon Ball characters on here. Astrogamer (talk) 22:02, November 24, 2018 (UTC)

Characters like Batman and Han Solo have as much relevance to Nintendo as Goku or Vegeta yet they have pages. I don't know how the fact that it is a port makes it that there can't be pages on the characters in the game. Captainfishlip (talk) 22:26, November 24, 2018 (UTC)

Batman at least has some context on this wiki in that he not only has the title of various games but also the main character of said games which is why we have pages for him and similar superheroes. If Batman's page was all just detailing the event in the Dark Knight saga, I would have deleted it too especially if it was copied off another wiki. FFVII is important to gaming as a whole but, it is only a footnote in Nintendo history like Halo or Grand Theft Auto. It isn't that hard to give greater Nintendo-related context to these characters and actually put effort in making pages. Astrogamer (talk) 03:33, November 25, 2018 (UTC)

What would you classify as Nintendo-related context? Their appearances in Spin-Offs on Nintendo Systems? Cause FFVII will soon be a game on a Nintendo system that also has its main character appear in Smash Bros. so it seems valid to have the playable characters from the game to get pages. If I remade one of the pages and changed the wording significantly (I would do it from scratch but my punctuation isn't that good) and added info from other appearances on Nintendo systems would that be okay? Captainfishlip (talk) 03:54, November 25, 2018 (UTC)

I'd say that would be sufficient. It could be improved on later. Astrogamer (talk) 04:37, November 25, 2018 (UTC)

Ok I'll start working on that soon. Captainfishlip (talk) 04:40, November 25, 2018 (UTC)

Portable Infoboxes
Hello! We received a concern from an app user about being able to navigate. I made a quick adjustment to your Head template, but I also ported over two of your most frequently used infoboxes which should help things along. We'd appreciate if you'd take a look at Template:VG_Character/Draft and Template:Infobox_CVG/Draft, make any changes you think would be appropriate, and approve the Drafts. Thanks! — FishTank (wall) 21:42, November 28, 2018 (UTC)

VG Character Template
The updated VG Character Template no longer adds the Male/Female categories to pages meaning most of the pages no longer have them. I'd add it back myself but I don't have much experience with stuff like that. Captainfishlip (talk) 18:41, November 29, 2018 (UTC)

Never mind just saw that it's at the front of the page now sorry. Captainfishlip (talk) 18:42, November 29, 2018 (UTC)

Simomo444 vandalism
The last three edits from the user Simomo444 are clearly vandalism. Changing correct dates and adding redundant text or code.Usee16 (talk) 19:27, January 18, 2019 (UTC)
 * Did you see the template "Stub"? Probably not. Yes, thanks for the advice, I'll take that images and upload them, you want me to do all the work (as the stereotypical wiki admin, it's inescapable wherever you go, lots of emotional intelligence), but well I didn't do it before for precaution and priorities. I thought it was more important to have the stubs first, and then expand or rephrase. And I suppose you put a medal to Simomo 'cause he was trying to help but didn't know how to do it ("super mario wahuuuu is a mess!"), nontheless I don't see a thing in the BlockList. Well, don't make me talk much, as this is not my native language anymore.Usee16 (talk) 07:29, January 19, 2019 (UTC)

Favourable's spelling
Favourable is correct spelling: Collins Dictionary. This is not a yankee wiki, or aussie.

This is an American wiki. That's why the releases put NA first. I don't particularly care if you are that insistent on it though. Astrogamer (talk)


 * As far I'm aware I only see a single option for anglosaxon in Wikia, but yes Delaware company. Certainly is not political, it is what the administrators decide. No problem here, I use both forms indistinctly; however, had to point it out. Usee16 (talk) 04:23, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

Runbow Pocket
You had to delete it (nothing new), well, the game has a different name, a completely different reception, and also, you have the developers of 13AM Games saying that's a different beast. But nothing of that counts, arbitrary changes all the way, you simply had to have "five games" stuffed in one article 'cause "it's cool". I hope that the company from the fiscal paradise pay you well at least. Usee16 (talk) 05:21, January 31, 2019 (UTC)

Jeez. Stop being so passive aggressive. Every port has different reception even different Virtual Console releases so, that's not a good reason. I put it in a single page because there doesn't seem to be much different. If you can point to the differences beyond the limitations of the 3DS, it's not a problem to have a separate page but, I remember that the game was advertised as a port of the Wii U version.Astrogamer (talk) 05:34, January 31, 2019 (UTC)

2019 Wiki Olympics


Hello there, Astrogamer!  My name is Ned Edgewalker. I represent the Gamers Fanon Wiki, a community I have been apart of for the last eight years. For the past three years, I’ve held an event on the GFW known as the Wiki Olympics. For this upcoming years’ event, the 2019 Wiki Olympics, I’ve decided to attempt and branch out and invite multiple other wikis to participate for a good cause, including the Nintendo Wiki. 

What would be required from your community is that you find one to five willing participants (this can be or include yourself if you choose) from your community to sign up to participate in the 2019 Wiki Olympics at least one month before the scheduled start date. And to clarify, five is not the limit of participants your community can have, it is simply the recommended amount. That is all that would be required from your community.



Should someone from your wiki top the standings, I will donate $100 USD on behalf of your wiki to a charity of your choosing at the conclusion of the 2019 Wiki Olympics. Should you accept, you will have four months to organize a team for your wiki and will be invited to the 2019 Wiki Olympics Discord one month prior to the opening event of the Olympics. The 2019 Wiki Olympics are currently scheduled to begin on July 7th, 2019.

If you have any questions whatsoever regarding the event, shoot me a message on my message wall or on Discord!

Thanks for your consideration, and I hope to see the Nintendo Wiki represented in the 2019 Wiki Olympics!

Why did you revert my edits on yoshis portal? I spent a lot fo time working on it, you should at least ask before you do that stuff.

This user has vandalized this wiki and created spam pages with vulgar language. You should probably ban him. Parkour 19:26, March 13, 2019 (UTC)

Suggestions
Greetings, Astrogamer. I would like to mention my suggestions. I wonder if you are considering to change the name, "Nintendo Wiki" to "Wikitendo". The wiki pages are organized, but I am wondering if there should be page templates in a way that it can be easier to organize better, like the other two wikis. I am also considering for this wiki to create a manual of style too. What are your opinions? <span style="font-family:Times New Roman; box-shadow: 0 0 10px black; font-size:large; border: 3px solid #6A5AC1; border-radius: 1em; background:linear-gradient(#1EEDA1,#5ECADF);" font color="white;">It's-a me, Derek-o. (talk, blog, contribs) 05:33:50 May 20 2019

Edit: Actually, Nintendo must also have a Manual of Style; it will suit the wiki well. What do you think? <span style="font-family:Times New Roman; box-shadow: 0 0 10px black; font-size:large; border: 3px solid #6A5AC1; border-radius: 1em; background:linear-gradient(#1EEDA1,#5ECADF);" font color="white;">It's-a me, Derek-o. (talk, blog, contribs) 02:20:00 May 21 2019

The name Wikitendo is kind of bad, like an early to mid-2000s name for a website. A manual of style would be good though. Astrogamer (talk) 02:40, May 22, 2019 (UTC)

Relevance
Hi, I saw you deleted the page Dan Avidan on the grounds that it had no relevance to Nintendo games, despite Avidan having a voice role in the Nintendo Switch game Pinstripe. How relevant must they be to warrant having an article, ie. perhaps have voiced or been a producer on 2 or more titles for Nintendo platforms? I noticed that Kevin Sorbo has only voiced for three third-party Nintendo games so just curious on what the criteria is. --Heyalls (talk) 03:08, June 12, 2019 (UTC)


 * For relevance, if this isn't a Nintendo published title, I think a voice actor needs to be on at least 3 games on Nintendo platforms with one of them being of seminotable importance (5 if they fail this criteria) and the voice actor not being just a cameo (preferably in the main cast). For Sorbo, that page was made before I was made admin but, I allow it since I count The Conduit as a notable title for the Wii. Astrogamer (talk) 04:22, June 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay then. What's considered semi-notable? With Dan Avidan, I can hold off recreating his article once he's been involved in at least 5 titles featured on Nintendo platforms. What if the person has for example been a voice in two or one titles, but a producer in three or four, would that still meet the criteria? --Heyalls (talk) 04:30, June 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * For a hard criteria, I consider any title that has an official trailer on Nintendo's youtube page or featured in a Nintendo Direct/ Nindies Showcase as at least semi-notable. However, if there is evidence of that there is discussion of the game primarily in Nintendo circles, I'll also consider it. Additional notable roles are acceptable too (like producer as you said but also director or assistant director/producer) Astrogamer (talk) 00:47, June 13, 2019 (UTC)

Originally canceled but released after console's lifecycle, also after market games
There have been some recent after market games that were originally intended for release during their intended console's lifecycle. I was wondering whether to include them and still categorize them as canceled or not? For example Tyrannosaurus Tex and 40 Winks which were intended to be released during the GBC and N64's lifecycle; respectively, but were canceled and recently acquired by Piko Interactive who have since published them for those systems. Also what's the wiki's stance on the inclusion of unlicensed / homebrew / after market games? I see there's already articles on some of Tengen's titles and the Homebrew Channel, but what about recent new games for the NES, SNES etc. (not including ROM hacks)? --Heyalls (talk) 05:02, June 14, 2019 (UTC)

Glory of Hercules name changes
I have been thinking you know the wiki articles of Glory of Heracles: Legend of the Fighting Demon's Lair, Glory of Heracles II: Titan's Downfall, and Glory of Heracles: The Gods Began to Move. The seem to be not good titles don't you think so I came up with better sounding titles like Glory of Heracles: Legend of the Demon's Lair, Glory of Heracles II: Fall of the Titans, and Glory of Heracles: Movement of the Gods. So what do you think is it alright with your permission to rename the title shown here or not?

Also what is the reason that this Nintendo Wiki does not have a message wall like the others? It would be a lot efficient if we have a message wall. LaytonPuzzle27 (talk) 17:55, June 24, 2019 (UTC)

hello. i'd love to be an admin, but obviously i can't. i play ssbu and am a big fan of nintendo. please leave me a note.

From EpicMagicBoi6 (talk) 22:28, July 18, 2019 (UTC)

Hello, are you going answer my comment or not Astrogamer? LaytonPuzzle27 (talk) 18:46, August 9, 2019 (UTC)

The issue is if all those names are accurate translations. The first obviously would change in a localization or remake but, I'm not sure we should liberally change it like that. (though I think an accurate translation would be more like Legend of Fighting the Demon's Lair). The second one seems to be fine since it's just reordering the words. The third one doesn't seem to be a better title honestly and seems conveys a different topic. Began to Move sounds more like a opening act whereas Movement is a bigger story. Not to mention that is a real stretch to ignore the -dashita part.

Overcategorization
Hello. I just stumbled across a game that had a three different categories to say that it was released on three different regions on a specific virtual console and in a specific year. At first I just thought it was ridiculous since we have categories that take care of that way more efficiently so I started to remove them from the three articles concerned by the overly specific category I clicked on first. Then I found out that this had been going on for two months and that there is a lot of virtual console games with a lot of unnecessary categories the biggest offensor I stumbled upon being Double Dragon. I left them because I wanted to see with you what we should do about that as there is way too much games rereleased on the virtual console that have a ridiculous amount of pointless categories that overlap like that as a result. I know that certain articles have a lot of categories like the biggest ones on the wiki but most of them are meaningful and help users in navigating the wiki more easily, which I don't believe to be the case with any of these categories. Thanks in advance for your answer. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 22:11, July 28, 2019 (UTC)

I think it is kind of excessive. I do feel what we had before (All lumping them under virtual console games category) was not specific enough. The best solution would probably be just list the virtual console with the original platform in parathesis like for Dr. Mario, it would be Category:Wii U Virtual Console games (Nintendo Entertainment System) or Super Mario Land would be Category:3DS Virtual Console games (Game Boy)

Astrogamer (talk) 22:20, July 28, 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I saw those categories when I was trying to figure out exactly when the overly specific ones started appearing. I was also thinking that we probably should use them instead of the overly specific ones. I will start removing the excessive ones soon. It will probably take some times since from what I have seen, a lot of virtual console articles are plagued with the same problem. Thank you for you quick reply. --Ghirahim le fabuleux (talk) 22:39, July 28, 2019 (UTC)

Strange Links
Hey! So I've been meaning to ask a staff member this for a while. I have seen many pages on this wiki that have links to pages that don't exist anymore. I was wondering if I should remove the links to make the pages more polished? Or should we keep them there? I'm not sure. Let me know what you think.

Mothleaf (talk) 21:54, August 4, 2019 (UTC)Moth

The many red links indicate the topic is important and should be added to the wiki but, the editor at the time couldn't add it at the time. While some can be removed most are somewhat important.

Astrogamer (talk) 23:25, August 4, 2019 (UTC)

Ah I see.. I think a better way of representing an important topic is by maybe underlining the word or putting it in bold, just a suggestion. If they need a page though I can make the pages when I have the time.

Mothleaf (talk) 00:22, August 5, 2019 (UTC)Moth

The problem is that, users won't make pages without red links most of the time (excluding the game pages). The red links can help make things consistent when people aren't aware of the correct spelling or confuse them with similar named characters in other series.

Astrogamer (talk) 00:30, August 5, 2019 (UTC)

Ohh, okay.. I see the point your making. Thank you for answering my question, much appreciation.
