I am a Mario Wiki patroller, so if you have a problem with interwiki stuffs on MetroidWiki/MarioWiki, I can either deal with the problem or get in contact with someone better equipped to deal with the situation than I. As of October 15, 2011, I'm able to upload YT ripped images for the Prime Trilogy and Super Metroid, so I'll field image requests there. | ||

I've been trying to blow up an Ingsmasher Missile Launcher however while I do it, it also destroys the Ingsmasher. The exploding launcher does cause damage damage but I believe that the only reason that the Ingsmashers are destroyed is because of residual damage caused by missed shots. If you have a file near them, would you mind trying to blow one up in Trilogy? It's much tougher to manually aim in the GCN version, especially when you have something trying to kill you. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC) | I've been trying to blow up an Ingsmasher Missile Launcher however while I do it, it also destroys the Ingsmasher.

:Well, I don't have an active save file currently, although I could probably get there fairly soon. I never attempted to do so either during any playthroughs as well. After I'm done with my current playthrough of Corruption, I'll start up Echoes and try and blow one up to see if I can manage it. Does it make any difference whether I try on a Dark Ingsmasher instead? It'd probably be easier to blow one up on Dark Ingsmashers, and I would have unlimited chances to fight the thing. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 19:36, 25 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::The type doesn't matter, I've been trying it on the Dark Ingsmashers in mine. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:50, 25 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::Cool, I'll let you know when I find out. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 19:56, 25 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::Alright thanks. Now onto creating the actual article for the launchers. It'll be on a user subpage until such time that we're sure of what happens when they blow up (cause it's going to be a fairly small article, I'd prefer to have all the details on it before I mainspace it.) I'll keep testing it on my version too. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 04:02, 26 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::::Got it. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 13:17, 26 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::::After more research I am pretty sure they cannot be destroyed. I've repeatedly hit a regular Ingsmasher's launcher with an uncharged Dark Beam however the Ingsmasher is always destroyed. The launchers always explode once the Ingsmashers are defeated further supporting this. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 17:39, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::::::First off, that probably took skill ;). Now, that does seem to confirm that if the launcher is destroyed, the Ingsmasher goes with it, either because it can't survive without the launcher, or because the explosion really damages it that much. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 17:47, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||

You get a million NIWA points for finding the taco. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Really? Cool! {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 22:02, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Haha just kiddin, i don't think im able to distribute Niwas unfortunately :/ But the taco was a good find, it's been an inside joke for idk.. since Metroid Wiki was still a tyke... {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:07, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::That's what I thought it was... It would've been funnier to hide a rickroll somewhere (make it horribly tiny, then hide it next to a link?). I have the habit of examining the coding of an article, not just the content ;) {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 22:10, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::Great job on finding that one, we were wondering how long it would take someone to notice it (or at least remove it). {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 22:18, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::::Thanks lol. Now if I run a search on that, I can become The Legendary Taco Hunter or something... Is there any other food hiding in the coding somewhere? {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 22:22, 27 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::::I checked and there are no other instances of "taco" in the main space. As for other food references, I doubt it. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 00:24, 28 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::::::Well, if someone hides another one, I'll play along, let any new users find them. This whole thing really weirded me out I must say. Good fun. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 00:43, 28 September 2011 (UTC) | |||

== Tense == | |||
Hey there!! Thanks for your recent edits, especially regarding consistency in refs. =P Your edits on the [[Keybearer]]s' pages were fine, but I just wanted to point out that "is later recovered" is still future/present tense (as opposed to "was later recovered"). Changing those to "Samus later recovers" changes the voice, not the tense. =) {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 15:09, 30 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I hadn't thought of that... Actually though, the passive voice is less effective there anyways, so it probably needed to be changed... And about the ref consistency, that is my number 1 pet peeve right now, I get really obsessive about it whenever I see one not done properly, so I really don't mind that at all. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 18:01, 30 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Image editing == | |||
If you just want to crop out some stuff, it's not too complicated. Do you have an image editor such as Microsoft Paint on your computer? {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 21:53, 2 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I have been using MS Paint as part of my convoluted method of ripping YT videos, but I haven't done anything other than copy a print screen to Paint, then save the image to a folder and upload it. If there's an easy tool to remove the black borders without compromising the borders of the actual image, I'd be happy to use it when uploading these images. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 22:13, 2 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
::OK I was wrong about it being complicated, I didn't know MS Paint lacked a cropping tool. If you do wish to crop with it, follow what it says in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnlOOSOX6AE this video]. If you're able to, I recommend you download [http://www.gimp.org/ GIMP]. It can crop images in a simpler, faster way. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 23:25, 2 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
:::Hope you don't mind me butting in here. When I used MS Paint I just used the cut tool, selected the section I wanted, cut it, and then started a new image and pasted it in there. Oh. That's what the video shows. But the video is really taking it slow, it seriously isn't as complicated as the video makes it look lol. But yes, GIMP is far superior. :D {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 23:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
::::I ditched MS Paint after realizing how poorly it handles the large images, but with a little messing around, I figured out how to crop on Adobe Fireworks CS4, which I apparently already had, and I can get it down fairly easily now. But yeah, MS Paint makes everything harder. Anyway, thanks for the help both of you. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 00:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Template replacements == | |||
Would you mind helping me swap out the [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Scanned_Image|scanned image]], [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Screenshot|screenshot]], [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Logbook_image|logbook image]], [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Artwork|artwork]], and [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Sprite|sprite]] image templates in favor of template:source? I'm going to do several replacements a day, but all of the templates combined are on over a thousand files so it would take me a while to finish this if done solo. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
:I don't mind at all. I probably should finish the infobox/category/general maintenance I've been running on the Prime Trilogy creature articles first, but after that's done, I'll go and start helping swap out the templates. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 19:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Images == | |||
Hey there Bop! Nice seeing you hard at work on the [[Special:RecentChanges|RC]]. ;) | |||
One thing I wanted to bring up: You recently uploaded [[:File:Transit_Tunnel_South.png|this image of the Transit Tunnel South]] and said it was "higher quality" than the image we had of it before. While that other image was taken from Metroid Recon's walkthrough section and was therefore deleted, the replacement image wasn't of higher quality, it was just larger. In fact, if you look at that image at full resolution, the quality of the image is quite mediocre, and having a larger image isn't always better. In fact, this image, while not adding anything quality wise, takes up a whole megabyte of space. Sure, 1 MB isn't a big deal, but reasonably, an image should only be uploaded as large as its resolution quality can handle. In the future, uploading an image at a size with sustainable resolution quality would probably be best. =) Thanks!!! {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 03:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Thank you for the advice; images are definitely not my forte, so I appreciate any help I can get on that. I have reuploaded the image at a smaller size and still retained the quality at full resolution, and it has significantly cut down on memory usage, so hopefully that's a good fix. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 22:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
::Looks good! :) {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 02:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
