I've got a question,

Why is this on the most viewed pages? --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Because It's been viewed 8,228 times :P _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 02:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Just wondering,

Is there some way to browse images that have already been uploaded? Like, for example, if I wanted a picture of a Hunter Metroid, is there a way to tell if someone has already uploaded such a picture without knowing the specific file name? If this is somehow obvious and I am missing something, just let me know, but the Help only tells how to upload new images, not browse ones already there. If there are images that can be used, I'd rather use them than uploading brand new ones. --Nintendbob 15:37, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Go to the category to which a Hunter Metroid would fall under. Usually, such an image would already be added to the page, but occasionally people upload images before the page is created and an unused image just sits there. Head on over to Special:SpecialPages to find an array of lists that may be useful. More specifically, go here to look at uncategorized files which you wouldn't find under any category. There to go to files that are unused, that is, they don't appear on any page. And there to view all categories. The enemies category or Metroids category would be where an image of a Hunter Metroid would be if it existed. Hope some of that helped! --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 17:29, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to tell me all this, it really helps --Nintendbob 18:29, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Justin BAILEY

So, Justin Bailey or JUSTIN BAILEY. Same with Bottle Ship. Both are referred to in game as ALL CAPS. But otherwise, they're simply known as lowercase. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 06:27, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Happy First Birthday Metroid Wiki

We've officially been online for one year now, so let the celebrations begin. A huge thanks goes to all of our contributors, our staff and to NIWA for their support. Be sure to check out our statistics page for all the stats of what we've achieved in our first year. Here's to a great year and many more to come. Thanks again everyone. -Melchizedek  ^talk 22:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello there!

I'm Fawful117, a newcomer to this wiki, but very good on the Mario wiki! I need to edit my userpage a bit... anyway, what's there to do on this wiki? I assume it's just like the Mario wiki, right?

Fawful117 Look who's come from the Mario Wiki! ME!!! ;) I HAVE CHORTLES! 21:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

We have some different policies, but the basic premise is the same. As for what you can do, you can edit any particular areas that you are knowledgeable in or just make small corrections like spelling and grammar. MK 21:54, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

New bureaucrats

After the move, our admin and bcrats got a bit rearranged. I'd like to give one of our current sysops bcrat permissions as well, and would like the community's feedback. We currently have the following sysops:

• Embyr 75 (talk - contribs)
• Malake256 (talk - contribs)
• Melchizedek (talk - contribs)
• Metroidking (talk - contribs)
• Nathanial Rumphol-Janc (talk - contribs)
• Neo (talk - contribs)
• TheSuperZeldaMan (talk - contribs)

What are everyone's thoughts on who should be our new bcrat? -- Prod 18:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

In terms of who helps out and edits for the wiki, I feel that Metroidking does the most to help out and improve. --Nintendbob 21:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Metroidking definitely for the win on this one, extremely active (unlike how I've been), and a highly valuable and necessary editor to keep Metroid Wiki going round. More thoughts from me are certainly to come, particularly since I'm just now getting back. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 23:31, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

In my opinion, its Metroidking for many of the same reasons Malake256 posted.Transdimensionalflux 22:58, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
