Regarding your concern with the uploaded Kirby Café clips

Greetings, StrawberryChan. I saw in your most recent edit that you were concerned if the clips you uploaded were allowed or not. Assuming you have a legitimate copy of the CD, it is completely fine, since the tracks have been released for sale. We really only crack down if people try to upload whole tracks, or material from stuff that was leaked before official release. --Fubaka (talk) 02:02, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Alright, cool. Yeah, I got it through one of those third-party resellers. It's a really nice album, by the way. StrawberryChan (talk) 02:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Patroller

Greetings, StrawberryChan. I've noticed your work on the wiki, and I consider you to have already established yourself as one of our better editors. It is my intention to grant you Patroller status in commemoration for your service. As a Patroller, you will have the following powers/responsibilities:

• Ability to mark edits as Patrolled.
• Ability to roll back edits by malicious users.
• Permission to mark content as "Good".
• Access to the staff-chat channel on the Discord (if you are on Discord).

All that's left is for you to accept the offer. What say you? --Fubaka (talk) 21:11, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Ah, howdy! Uhm... sure, I suppose! I wasn't expecting to be promoted so quickly, but that sounds good to me. I'll also look into joining the Discord. StrawberryChan (talk) 21:34, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Cool. I will go ahead and make the necessary adjustments. Welcome to Patrollership, and congrats! --Fubaka (talk) 21:36, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Nonexistent category

When image is licensed as {{game screenshot|Kirby JP}} it's put in Category:Kirby JP Twitter misc. images, which doesn't exist because it was moved to Category:Kirby JP Twitter screenshots. Can you fix it? - I don't know how. Superbound (talk) 16:28, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Umm, I'm not sure how to do that... The technical side of things isn't my specialty. I think you might want to ask Pandakekok9, but I'll see what I can do. StrawberryChan (talk) 19:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Okay, it seems to have been a formatting error. I think I fixed it, but the cache may take a little while to update. StrawberryChan (talk) 19:58, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! Superbound (talk) 13:45, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

File:KFont z.png

Hi, do you mind if you upscale this letter into 92x168 like you did with File:KFont y.png? And if possible, please vectorize it into SVG. Thanks! pandakekok9 (poyo) 06:51, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Odd, I thought I'd done this one. I can upscale it to the size of the others, but not into SVG, unfortunately. We're going to be replacing the title font with an actual font anyway to address readability concerns, though. StrawberryChan (talk) 07:32, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Image uploading

For the plasma article, I wanted to add an image for the artwork from Kirby Star Allies, the latest game to use that copy ability. So after, I went to the upload page, but It didn't let me upload the file. Could you tell me why? IsaacBoi321 (talk) 01:28, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi! You can't upload files because you aren't autoconfirmed yet. You need to have an account for at least one day and make at least five edits to be autoconfirmed. This will let you upload files, create new pages, and make edits without being moderated. It's a safety measure to prevent spam. I hope that helps! StarPunch (talk) 10:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll try to help out on this wiki the best I can! :) IsaacBoi321 (talk) 23:13, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Kirby's Dream Land 3 music

Hello! I sort of have a problem here. I'm trying to add the Kirby's Dream Land 3 themes to their respective stages, but I tried adding the first theme to the first stage (Grass Land - Stage 1) and the theme isn't showing! Is there any way to fix this? --Paistrie (talk) 20:23, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

The KDL3Stage infobox doesn't have a music parameter on it — I can add that real fast. StarPunch (talk) 20:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

OK, it works now. Thanks for helping! --Paistrie (talk) 20:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Plural redirects

Hello there. Is there a general rule against plural redirects on the Wiki, or is it evaluated on a case-by-case basis? I was about to create one for Medal since the menu in Kirby Battle Royale refers to them in plural, only to find out it had been deleted. Considering typing "Medals" brings you to the search results and the actual "Medal" page is nowhere to be found among those, I believe an omission like this hinders navigation more than anything. --Gabo 2oo (talk) 18:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Generally yes (see Help:Redirects). We prefer not have plural redirects unless the pluralization is unusual. However, given that "Medals" is a menu option, I can see the potential value in having it as a redirect to the Kirby Battle Royale section specifically. The creation and deletion of plural redirects is generally a group consensus-based decision rather than an individual one, so I can ask others to weigh in as well.

Automoderation request

Hey StarPunch, Can You Give Me Automoderated? I Can Edit Pages Without Moderation. SonyMvie (talk) 17:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

So far you've only edited your talk page, which is a concern to me. You haven't proven yourself to me as a reliable editor. Even if you had, we don't give automoderation on request. So, no. StarPunch (talk) 18:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Made an edit, dont think it has typos?Kirbyfan2011 (talk) 04:09, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Excuse me

pCan you except my edits to needle? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirbyfan2011 (talk • contribs) 04:12 UTC, February 20, 2025. Please always sign your comments by typing ~~~~!

Your edits are frankly unacceptable. Your spelling is completely and consistently incorrect, you struggle with formatting, you often remove valuable information for no good reason, the formatting changes you make often have no meaningful differences, and you conflict with other editors over petty changes. As a result, I have been consistently rejecting your edits. If you want your edits to be accepted, shape up first. StarPunch (talk) 05:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

oops

Hey sorry StarPunch! Not sure if you saw just now but I accidentally edited your userpage a moment ago. I went ahead and reverted it right away, so sorry about that. To be honest with you I was just yoinking your userpage format and style for mine cause I liked it haha. But yeah I fixed it immediately but just wanted to let you know in case you saw that haha, again my apologies. - Evankacp (talk) 17:46, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Large Trees

Hey StarPunch, hope you're doing well. You previously helped me out with Giant Scroll, I'm currently finishing up a page for Large Trees. It should be pretty much good and done but just wanted to see if you could help me out by adding the Japanese page number for the name and possibly the section with the translation as you were able to help me out with those last time. As well as give the page a look over to let me know if you think it's good to be published or not yet. Would really appreciate it, thank you! - Evankacp (talk) 16:33, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Magic Tube

Hey StarPunch! If you're not too busy do you think you could take a look at my page User:Evankacp/Magic Tube? It should be done, just want to get an ok from at least 2 mods before going ahead and moving it over to the main space, so let me know if you think it's all good and ready! Thank you! - Evankacp (talk) 17:18, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

It looks fine! I apologize for not answering you earlier. You don't have to ask for an OK every time you make a new draft, but if you want more immediate feedback, Discord would be your best bet. StarPunch (talk) 12:01, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! You're totally fine it was no rush at all, you've just always been very helpful with my past pages so I figured I'd ask for your help to take a look at it haha, I really appreciate the help. and oh ok, to be honest the main reason I was making sure to ask is cause I thought I had been told in the past by Gigi that until I was granted autopatrol status that I had to kind of get an OK from staff before making any major edits and/or making whole new pages. I still haven't gotten it and I don't want to be impatient or anything ofc so I've been waiting to be granted it but until then I thought I wasn't allowed to publish a draft before getting an ok from at least a couple mods due to not having autopatrol. Just was wanting to make sure I was following the policy and all. - Evankacp (talk) 14:03, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Oh! I see, I see. It generally isn't so formal, but I see what she's saying. Like I said, discussion on the Discord is an easier way to get quick feedback compared to talk pages. You don't have to use it if you're not able or willing, of course. Either way I think you're learning the ropes and improving pretty rapidly. StarPunch (talk) 14:51, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate that! I do have a Discord but just haven't joined yet mainly because I just don't really ever use it but I honestly have considered starting to use it just for this site haha. I do enjoy the community and admittedly I do get a bit antsy sometimes with wanting feedback and I know it would help with that so, definitely something I may do soon. But anyway, thanks so much for the feedback! - Evankacp (talk) 15:19, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Account request

I've been trying to get an account so I can help you edit this wiki. I haven't gotten any notifications. What should I do? --98.10.35.247 15:42, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Have you checked your email inbox? Including your spam folders and such? You should have received an email from the wiki with further instructions to make an account. StarPunch (talk) 12:01, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi StarPunch! I would like to thank you so much for welcoming me to this wiki. Do you know how to create your own personal signature? --ZanyDragon (talk) 18:14, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello! Head over to Special:Preferences and you'll see the field that lets you create a custom signature. Hit the checkbox to enable wikitext, and that'll let you do things like make it bold, a different color, or so on. It's generally good form to make sure your signature links to both your user page and your talk page, and also isn't too distracting. StarPunch (talk) 18:22, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

I see you already have your signature designed, so what you can do is set your wikitext signature like this: {{User:ZanyDragon/sig}}. That will cause the page to be used as your signature. StarPunch (talk) 18:29, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

I think I'll test it to see if it works. --   ~ (talk · edits) 18:38, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Userpage Images

Hey so I recently made a little Kirby game tier list to add to my userpage. I wanted to have it display on there but I realized I would have to upload it to the wiki first to have it display. I noticed you have a personal image on your userpage and it even has a very specific description and all. So I just figured I would reach out to you as you've done it and ask, am I okay to put a personal image on my userpage? and if so do I need to give it a similar description to yours? Just wanna make sure I do it correctly and not violate any policies. - Evankacp (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Yes, every user can upload up to five personal files (images or audio). It doesn't need a detailed description, but it needs to be sourced and tagged the same way a regular file would. A tier-list would fall under self-made content, so you can just tag it as such and you'll be good. StarPunch (talk) 20:59, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Ok perfect, sounds good, thanks so much! - Evankacp (talk) 13:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Autopatrol

Excuse me, but since my edits have gone better, can you put me on "Autopatrol" rank now please?--PawPatroler (talk) 23:14, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Please do not request ranks, they are not given upon request. Also, as you are currently on probation, you will get your probation role removed before you are given Autopatrol. Either way, the quality of your edits has not improved, I've had to revert all your recent edits. I urge you to do better and review our policies. - Gigi (talk • edits) 23:42, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Stadium predictions

Regarding this edit summary, I did some research and found that not only is the Stadium determined early on, it is decided before the match starts when the "character select" screen shows up (where color, CPU lvl, and handicap can be chosen). I thought of including this in my Stadium edit but couldn't think of a nice place to put it. CanvasK (talk) 04:13, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

That's a great bit of info to know, thanks! StarPunch (talk) 04:34, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Question

I have a question; when I edit, aren't the edits in question supposed to appear? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parasol Keeby (talk • contribs) 06:31, 21 December 2025 (UTC). Please always sign your comments by typing ~~~~!

On this wiki, edits by new users are moderated first before they appear to everyone on the wiki. Edits are manually moderated by the staff, so not all edits appear at once. If your edit is rejected, it most likely has an issue; for example, your edit on Kirby Mass Attack was rejected because it was plagiarized from Wikipedia, which is against our rules on copyright. StarPunch (talk) 06:40, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Is it okay that you resumbit the edit on Kirby Mass Attack, under the condition that you rewrite it?--Parasol Keeby (talk) 07:06, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Yes, if it's all in your own words. StarPunch (talk) 07:10, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Something like;

The development of Kirby Mass Attack was defined by a bold departure from series tradition, spearheaded by Director Mari Shirakawa and HAL Laboratory. Rather than iterating on the standard platforming formula, the team set out to create a "group management" game, a concept that fundamentally reshaped Kirby’s identity for the Nintendo DS.

The most significant hurdle during production was the decision to strip Kirby of his signature Copy Abilities. Senior Producer Kensuke Tanabe explained managing a crowd of up to ten Kirbys was already a heavy cognitive load for the player; adding unique powers to individual Kirbys would have turned the game into an overwhelming micromanagement exercise. This choice allowed the developers to focus entirely on the "mass" mechanic—using the stylus to flick, swarm, and overwhelm enemies through sheer numbers.

Despite the experimental nature of the main quest, which developers described as having a "bumpy" development cycle, the game’s extensive collection of sub-games was a point of pride. These mini-games, ranging from pinball to RPGs, were originally considered to becoem unused. However, the team found them so polished and entertaining that they were kept to add longevity to the title. --Parasol Keeby (talk) 07:14, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

That's much better! StarPunch (talk) 07:47, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
