Have you considered fixing any of these pages that you are marking for deletion yourself? I know there are videos out there for a lot of these textures. --Jefe 04:40, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Sure thing. I'm just moving them into categories so that I can go over them in an orderly manner later. Besides the point, marking a page like this is meant to alert the creator of the page that they need to come back and fix it up. It would be irresponsible of them otherwise, though I guess inactive users probably don't even manage their pages anymore. --Torran 04:48, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Deletions

In general redirects should not be deleted unless it's the result of a name change for a new page, even if there aren't existing links to the redirected page. Redirects have several uses including acting as "short hand" for longer page names, common typos, alternative names. Additionally established pages may be linked to from other sites, such as mariokartwii.com or YouTube videos. It's important to not break these links. It also looks like you inadvertently deleted the Character Hack article. Hopefully Wiimm can restore it. --Jefe 02:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Those deletions are intentional. To avoid further confusion between the terms "Character Hacks", "Custom Characters", and "Custom Vehicles", SuperMario64DS, WorldsBoss, and I have agreed to remove all references to the term "Character Hacks" from the Wiiki and re-categorize said "Character Hacks" into the new categories and their sub-categories as needed. Broken links will be repaired after the reorganization has finalized. --Torran 02:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

While I don't particularly like term "Character Hack" (most MKWii "hacks" are not in fact the result of hacking) it is a popular term and widely understood by the MKWii community to mean any type of character modification. I do agree it is confusing and imprecise term, but this sort of sweeping change should be discussed on the wiki before proceeding. We do need a Character Hack article, if anything, to explain what the term means to people who are new to MKWii and will see the term elsewhere, but presumably not on here. We also need redirects for the old articles. --Jefe 02:48, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I would suggest in the future if someone cancels a retro track, not deleting the entire article. Instead you can remove the info about the cancelled track (maybe put it inside comment brackets) but leave the description and video of the original level. --Jefe 20:59, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

What? --Torran 21:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought you deleted DS Donkey Course. It was Guilmon.--Jefe 17:01, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

With regards to Nitro Starway - the only reason why I haven't updated it in so long is because a) I've been working hard on Uni work, so I haven't had much time to do any work on it; and b) trying to finish it off by myself is hard - trying to figure out how to do the KMP, KCL and the like is tricky for me. While the plan itself is somewhat dead as of right now, if someone was willing to help me out with it I would be thankful. But, until such time comes to pass, I declare it pseudo-dead. - Ah2190, the Master of Nitrous, (Talk page) posted at 11:42, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

I understand and I won't delete the page for at least several more months, probably more. But if you are able to post at least 1 image to the page then I cannot delete it, so there's something to consider. --Torran (talk) 15:27, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Then I'll try to get one sorted out of the design and get it uploaded before the end of this week. - Ah2190, the Master of Nitrous, (Talk page) posted at 15:30, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
