About comments

How long should it take before it's time to get rid of the comments? I see now that the same day the page is made is too early, but I also think the new guy got the hang of it already. You should have seen his earlier edits. Zilla 03:03, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

I fixed his page, it was still kind of a mess. I would only "clean" pages when you are otherwise making an update to the page. --Jefe 04:35, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Colors

• Do you mean for tables or as span:

N/A

Unknown

Or with <span>...</span>

• bg-gray1
• bg-gray2
• bg-gray3
• bg-black

I mean another color for video headers. I think it's one of Admin-only templates, but I might be mistaken. --Jefe 03:32, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

You mean a textbox color scheme. Tell me your favorite gray and I will add it and black. -- Wiimm 09:53, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I think gray 2 looks good. --Jefe 02:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

For an other wiki I have used the same textbox+css style: http://wiiki.wii-homebrew.com/Vorlage:Textbox

The background colors are not so shrill. I also have added white, gray and black as first test and I know I must improve it. What do you thing about this smother color scheme?

Wiimm 20:09, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Edit: I meant this colors with smart: http://wiiki.wii-homebrew.com/Vorlage:Ja

Wiimm 23:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Those light colors are great, just what I've had in mind. --Jefe 05:06, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Let's discuss this: http://wiimm.de/wiki-css/mkw-ct.html

I have created a script, that reads a color definition table and create the color css. Prior there were several bugs.

Wiimm 18:53, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

I have ...:

• ... improved white+gray+black
• ... added color 'yellow'
• ... added alternating colors for table rows
• ... added hover effect

Wiimm 08:15, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Looks good. --Jefe 15:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

New color scheme is online. Lookout the 2 new attribtes for text tables:

• alt: alternating row colors (wot´rks also for standard "wikitable")
• headline: emphasized first row (column headings)

→ see template:textbox for more info.

I hope, that nothing is destroyed now.

Wiimm 23:38, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

So far so good. Thanks, and I just tested the gray video header too. Looks great. Gray will be the new standard color for "original game version" videos. --Jefe 06:31, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of redirect

There is absolutly no point in redirecting to a non-existing page, the point of redirects is to make pages accessable easier. This doesn't make any sense to me.
kHacker35000vr 16:33, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

All content makers should have a page on the wiki; if they have an account on here, it should be redirected to their user page. Whether they've created their own page yet or not doesn't really matter, it should be in place so that short links to users will go to the correct page when it's made. --Jefe 16:54, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Jefe, if you feel such a thing is needed, then go ahead and create redirects for the other many users who don't have pages yet (Somewhere around 500). You can find the entire list here: user List. DJ Lowgey is already aware that he needs to create a page at User:DJ Lowgey. Have you ever considered that DJ Lowgey doe not want that redirect for any reason? Just something to consider. However, if you do believe each user needs a something like that, then you'd better start soon. (And there are certainly many content makers without pages,) --SuperMario64DS 17:13, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for that delightful response. If you look at my history, you'll see that I add user redirects regularly, but generally only when I'm fixing a page or find a broken link where someone has used the short version of the user's name. I'm not going to all of them, it would be a task better suited for a bot. You are certainly welcome to go ahead and do it, or maybe Khacker can have his bot do it. --Jefe 05:06, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

New Ported Tracks

I am not going to separate more merged pages yet (the two "SNES Bowser Castle 2"s were already separated, but MKDasher got the main page, which was unfair), but I want to know if it's okay to make a separate page for new ported tracks that already have older versions by someone else and then make a disambiguation page. This can go for other people too, but I am not going to make other people's pages, because I am asking for me.

e.g. I am making my own DS Mario Circuit and there is an older version available already. I am also planning to make my own DS Wario Stadium and again, there is an older version available.
Zilla 00:15, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

You might as well. The pages can always be merged later on if needed. --Jefe 05:06, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

This is minor, but I didn't want to suddenly move something and then upset everyone, especially the translators. Should I move the Names In Other Languages chart to the disambiguation page or copy it to the new separate page as well? If you look at SNES Bowser Castle 2, both versions are in CTGP Revolution, but only MKDasher's version has the Names In Other Languages chart.

Zilla 20:47, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for asking before just sporadically doing it. I suggest keeping the Names in Other Languages section on each of the individual track pages themselves rather than in the directory listing all versions, that way they will still conform to the same style as all the other track pages on the wiki. Personally I'm kinda amazed at how that section is so popular, I thought it'd just be me adding it to every page an filling it in but it seems that a lot of other people have been adding Names in Other Languages to their track pages even without my input. -- WorldsBoss 21:09, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Although it makes sense to put the "Names in Other Languages" section on the disambiguation page (after all it should be the same on each version,) I think it's better to have it on each individual track page for stylistic consistency.--Jefe 01:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Heart of China

Thanks for remember me that rule! But Heart of China is not my track, I'm helping the author to order the information, adding tables, adding sections, etc. But I don't know if I can edit the article with my own words because Im not the author. Can I edit, in that way, an article about a track that is not mine?. Thanks!--Gilc 18:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, all articles should be in 3rd person. There are several ways to edit it. Some things can be put in quotations marks, along with qualifiers such as The author states.... or according to the track maker, ...

Other text can be modified to change from 1st to 3rd person: For example you can change I simplified this area to make it Mario Kart Wii-compatible... to The author simplified... or Wingcapman simplified...

Additionally, what you had posted there would be fine to put in the track's readme file. The article itself doesn't need a word-for-word copy of his notes, just a basic description. --Jefe 19:55, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I already edited the article! Thanks!.

I know that this is not about the track, but I have some questions about Names in other languages sections, Must we add the names using a translator or wait for people that speak that languages to translate it or how?. Thanks again!--Gilc 21:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
