Admin
Since you know more about earthbound than i do and you look like a reliable editor, I've promoted you an administrator. This. of couse means, i know longer need to patrol your edits. As time goes on, i will probably be handing more and more control over to you. But we will have to wait an see about it. Tacopill 00:35, 17 September 2010 (UTC).
 * Thanks for the promotion! :D I can't wait to do more work on here. Mother/EB's pretty much my favorite game series ever, so being able to work on a wiki about it is sweet. Tina 21:52, 16 September 2010 (MDT)
 * Sounds good. I look forward to it. Tacopill 22:29, 16 September 2010 (MDT).
 * I guess I forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations! A 05:28, 17 September 2010 (MDT)

Projects
Since Tacopill told me to, do you think there should wiki projects yet? So far, the two I think should be made are Characters and Locations. A 18:08, 23 September 2010 (MDT)
 * Characters, locations... hrm. How about ones detailing enemies? Items, too. → T inā  ♫ δ 18:19, 23 September 2010 (MDT)
 * Those could work too. I just put the two I mentioned because those are more major focuses of the series. A 18:29, 23 September 2010 (MDT)
 * Yeah, agreed. I'd suggest PSI/games too, but those aren't really things that could have pages made beyond the stuff already listed...
 * I can't really think of anything else, though. Everything else that I can think of (mechanics/fanon...?/etc) would be better to start up once the basics are laid down. → T inā  ♫ δ 18:51, 23 September 2010 (MDT)
 * Sounds good you two. When ready, set up this page to talk about Wiki Projects in General (name pending), along with a page for each wiki project. Tacopill 18:56, 23 September 2010 (MDT).

Hello
Hi, I am kinda new in this wiki. And I am working on some mother 3 articles. What I wanted to ask is, you do know about the english patch right? Well, is it considered an official source for quotes, description...etc?--Count Bonsula 00:07, 16 November 2010 (MST)
 * For here, yeah, sure. I've already gone ahead and used all of the fan translation names for things, so it'd be fine if you were to use quotes/etc from it. lol  07:41, 16 November 2010 (MST)
 * Ok thanks.--Count Bonsula 00:55, 17 November 2010 (MST)

Images
Silly question; would it be feasible (also permissible) to create a category or box or something similar that would accompany all EB overworld [enemy] sprite images, and another for EB battle images? While the latter isn't that necessary, it would help users keep track of the overworld sprites that are available since they overlap so often for many enemies. If you have no time let me know if I would be able to do this, and if there's any relevant info that would help me in doing it :)

Additional Bribery: if this is feasible, I can upload all of the relevant sprites in one or two gos and name them uniformly...

Thanks again Iamnotapipe 09:37, 17 November 2010 (MST)
 * Categories for the images would be great, doesn't hurt being organized or anything. I'd go with Category:EarthBound overworld sprites and Category:EarthBound battle sprites, personally. Naming conventions would be good... I've been meaning to get around to writing a list of naming conventions for things, since it seems to be rather all over the place right now.
 * If you could upload the overworlds, that would be great! I'm really uncomfortable with handling files and all that, otherwise I would do more image work on here. lol 12:07, 17 November 2010 (MST)

A question about uploading images. Is it possible to upload directly from a link? Shayminguy7 14:30, 1 January 2011 (MST)
 * Not at the moment, sorry. You'd have to save the image to your computer and upload from there for now. It's possible to enable uploads from links, but I don't have the access to switch that on. D: 14:33, 1 January 2011 (MST)

Demotion
Hey, could you please demote me from a sysop to a regular user? I have no use here anymore, I've done my duty of setting up basic stuff. A 20:53, 27 January 2011 (MST)

Template Help
Anyway of putting an enemy template to the left or directly under another template? Experimenting with putting enemy characters on the same page as a character. If you think it might be a bad idea, STOP ME NOW. Shayminguy7 08:41, 12 February 2011 (MST)
 * Not sure what you mean here... do you mean just putting the enemy and character navigational templates on the same page? Because if so, I don't have a problem with that at all. I'm not too sure about the infoboxes, though, it'd get clunky. (Unless show/hide buttons were to be used or something?) 10:00, 12 February 2011 (MST)
 * Well, for instance, Pokey has two enemy bios, Heavily Armed, and Porky. Right now, (I still have the edits up) the two templates look really messy and next to each other. A hide button would help, but so would the possibility of a left side placement. Maybe even a way to put the second one DIRECTLY under the first. The character info box isn't a problem, just the two enemy infoboxes. Shayminguy7 10:59, 12 February 2011 (MST)
 * Left side placement would be very squished and would look pretty bad on the "standard" monitor width (1024px wide). There's a way to put the second infobox under the first, a should work just fine. Or try doing something like Starman, actually. That might be better. 11:05, 12 February 2011 (MST)

Hey, When you get a chance....
Hey when you get a chance, can you check out something i have been working on in my sandbox. Thank you, Tacopill 09:14, 22 May 2011 (MDT),

"List of equippable items in Mother 3"
I'm thinking of making this a disambiguation type page, since we already have pages for Stick, Ribbon, Shoes, Bandanas etc... would that be okay? Multus 15:41, 22 May 2011 (MDT)
 * Yeah, sure. Be sure to make it for the other two games, too. 16:19, 22 May 2011 (MDT)
 * Yep, working on it. We need a table or something for them to make them less boring... The Mother 3 pages look fine imo but only because the items have pictures and stuff. Multus 23:25, 22 May 2011 (MDT)
 * There are actually images for every item of the first Mother game in the Mother Encyclopedia, which can decrease the blandness of the EB0-related lists (and which I'd be happy to scan, yay). But I agree that some kind of infoboxish template should be made for them, so that we'll be prepared for the time when the lists are expanded to the extent of every item getting their own section, and thus enable their basic properties and whatnot to be neatly organized (though this perhaps wouldn't be as practical with the "key" and "miscellaneous" items, as their functions can vary by a lot). Sun Braid 06:57, 23 May 2011 (MDT)
 * I've been meaning to get around to making an item template of sorts, but I could never figure out a good design for it. :I Seeing as work on items is starting to increase a lot, though, I should probably get on that soon...
 * That's pretty neat that every item has art from the Mother Encyclopedia, though! I know some stuff from M2 has artwork from the Mother 2 guide and other miscellaneous sources, but not everything. 08:47, 23 May 2011 (MDT)

Automated Messages
Hi,I am a autoconfirmed user on SmashWiki,known as Forbidden7 there. Over at that Wiki,we don't give a welcome message until a user has made one good-faifth edit to the mainspace. On top of that,said messages are not automated. This is done so vandals are not welcomed. Also the message doesn't say "Hi there(Username)! Welcome to genericexampleWiki! Blah,blah,blah.". It instead says that message,without any mention of the username. This is done so we don't have welcome messages that say "Hi there,Mr.Shithead!". Anyway,I was wondering if you'd like to use this kind of message "system". It wouldn't be time consuming,seeing as you just have to type in the Welcome template. Also,a welcome message done by a user themeselves makes the Wiki feel even more friendly than it already is! So,what do you say? SmashertheWiki 19:41, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
 * That's how it's done on Bulbapedia, too- and really I do kinda like personal welcome messages over the automated ones. Plus, since we don't get new accounts over here too often, it's pretty easy to handle putting the welcome template on pages. I'd have to disagree on doing it after they make an edit, though, since then new users can review guidelines and editing tips before doing anything, if they're new to wikis. But hey, that's just me! 20:20, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

So yes? SmashertheWiki 20:23, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
 * I'll ask some other people on their opinion before doing anything, since it's not a small change and all. I don't have tech access, either, so I wouldn't be able to change it right away. 20:24, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Alright then. SmashertheWiki 20:29, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Also...
You can find some great deals on Amazon for a SNES and Earthbound. They'll have to be used,but it's often hard to notice once you get it and they work 100% well. Usually. SmashertheWiki 22:51, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Scratch that. SNES is okay,Earthbound is too pricey. SmashertheWiki 22:54, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Oh, trust me, I've looked and I know the prices. I know how expensive EB is. :P (I'm probably just going to rely on lurking nearby thrift stores and retro game shops.) 23:33, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Found an Earthbound cartridge for $0.99 might wanna start bidding. SmashertheWiki 19:39, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
 * It's okay, really. I can look for myself when I have the money. 19:45, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

I guess you're the best person to ask this...
I missed some of the items in the Mother 3 item lists, particularly this list(I'm not 100% with my Japanese, but I did my best, honest! I *still* can't do Kanji very well...). And I'm sure some of them in the EarthBound list are a bit *too* literal as well...(But I knew enough to do all of them in that list. Mother 3 was a bit tougher it seems, heh heh...) If you can do it better, please do so. Thanks. Multus 18:23, 18 November 2011 (EST)
 * Alright, I'll look them over and try giving the translations a shot. :D 19:26, 18 November 2011 (EST)
