*My debate skills in Proposals threads would be poor at best (harking back to my generally total failures at Sims Wikia's noticeboards), but I guess it can't hurt catastrophically for me to try Proposals threads once or twice, if my stamina permits.

*While I presumed the complexity of Japanese writing styles would help determine what the target audience of a specific game was, I guess I can agree that the effect for games rated below PEGI 12 would be negligible.

*Peach being listed as 160cm on her page, is apparently not official to determine how high she can jump in games.

**JP/SK transliterations are not valid at all to determine soft R's, even more so as I live in a region with extra soft rolling R's, and whose main regions of communication also use it.

*Trying to centre any of the 3D files at Models Resource with 3D file editors, is a 100% guaranteed method to cause severe psychosis and insanity. So don't even ''try'' to get any icons from them.

*Apparently there's no e-Manuals for Switch games either.
*I don't think I've ever played or even seen a minigame or microgame in any game or franchise in my entire life that was worse than [[Write On, Dude]] in ''Gold''. It's so extremely difficult and with so atrocious detection, that it's an absolute abomination and a crime against humanity.

*I'd say there's a fair few features in the demo that would warrant a subsection in [[Princess Peach: Showtime!#Development]] :
**[[Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids]] and [[Cowgirl in the Wilderness]] has their doors fenced off with tied ropes. No such ropes are used at any point in the full game.
**The demo's intro menu has "Start" and "[[Nintendo eShop]]" options, while the full game only has "Press {{button|switch|A}}".
**The 3 leftmost {{button|switch|Plus}}-menu options cannot be selected.

I think I've got the core stuff for PPS done. Anything remaining at all would be the last 5 levels' pages, which I can only hope goes well.
*Test rumble support for games that have "Technical aspects" paragraphs. While it's certain to say that ''all'' such games have rumble, I very faintly guess that it's good to have on the record.

*I've accidentally got myself into a both-ways "pronoun battle" (Usually I play "both sides" on e.g. Tumblr, but usually end up on the centerlines), so I'll be crosschecking Italian and Russian-language names for characters that have been contentious this week, as those languages have a reputation for very heavy gender-tensing of words.
**<s>[[Mighty Sparkla]]: Il suo / Ним. Strongly implies male, but is ''just short'' of 100.00% confirmation. Still more than Professor's and Mighty Sparkla's less than 40% confirmation in English.</s>
**[[Kung Fu Sparkla]]: No characters in that level, let alone the Sparkla, have any even the vaguest indications in Italian (except Hat Man's congratulation towards Peach). None of the characters even talk about the Sparkla beyond Stella's one-line intro. Combined with the carnival mask, the Sparkla may as well be a robot.
**<s>[[Patissiere Sparkla]]: Even if it were to not be mentioned in dialogs, I'd personally say it's not even a question that she's female, based on her entire design.</s>

*<s>Get 1× scale screenshot of the mermaid at the end of the [[Dribble & Spitz]] [[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]] level.</s> 🧜
**<s>Get one for the merboy too, presumably; although from what I've understood only for core Mega Microgame$ purposes at most.</s>
*Mass-utilizing [[Template:Cite]], as it seems to be a near-verbatim equivalent to Wikipedia's Cite Web, seems to be a possibly great move, but would be practically impossible to do on a large scale.

*Due to a total lack of any other plausible options, the icon for a [[Stella ribbon]] page would be the one from the top of her wardrobe menu, with the round red-black circle being extended to a square to avoid any PaintNET wand transparency issues.

**I am '''NOT''' touching any ZIPs from those psychos at The Models Resource ever again, if it's a matter of life and death. Their guides are just "Use Blender, lol, lmao", and Blender is the most evil software ever made.

*<s>Find a way to icon-ize certain [[Sparkle Gem]]s' rows on levels' pages, to show that they are unavoidable to obtain in regular gameplay. As it happens, I have a theory to research, which holds that it's not humanly possible to ''not'' have enough gems to give [[Stella]] for [[Disco Wing]] and [[Light Fang]] in particular.</s>

*Check filesizes for Wii savefiles that I have on my Wii U. Potentially [[WiiWare]] game sizes too, but the former is more important.
*<s>Add more info about the whereabouts and phrases of the Hat Man (i.e. "Ribboner") to [[Sparkle Theater#1F|1F]] and 2F levels.</s>

*One of the sillier things I've thought of, but what would happen if SD cards were inserted into Nintendo consoles while the cards' infamous write-lock slider was set to On?
**Turns out my new Wii U PSU has been stuck in transit for two weeks now, on a mere 500km domestic van route.

*<s>It's been some 7 weeks now, so it's time to search for glitches people have found in Peach Showtime. I hope the glitches are glorious.</s>
 
*Add info to [[Stella ribbon]] about how the ribbons make up a large percentage of her visible body (I think it's a body, at least?).
===10 May 2024===
**I've got no proof at all in my theory that Stella has no body below her head; as such I cannot add info on that specifically.
*Somehow add info on the legendarily narrow LAN network drivers that appear to be the same across Wii, Wii U, and Switch.
*<s>Add a link on [[Sparkle Theater]] to [[Stella ribbon]].</s>
*Add info on Switch's fairly poor support for USB-C headsets as well.
*Add a "Cards" gallery subsection on [[E-Reader]], considering how hard it is to find info on those cards anywhere else on the internet.

*[[Sour Thieves]] are flying round robots with helicopting, who do not look like Sour Bunch at all. They are primarily associated with [[The Perfect Infiltration]].
*[[Figure Skater Peach]] can make non-skater Theets spin around, including the Hat Man.

*It can't be that hard for me to find an image of the ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' [[Nintendo 3DS]] theme... I hope?
*<s>Apparently [[The Case of the Missing Mural]] has its own distinct [[Staff Member]] [[Theet]]s who work very differently from the Sparkle Theater Staff Member Theets.</s>
*<s>The supposed gloves of [[Figure Skater Peach]] appear to have melded to her skin.</s>
**<s>Hold on, that's not frosted skin, that's a suit. I recognize that kind of seaming anywhere.</s>

*<s>Fix the layout of [[Cowgirl at Dusk]].</s>
*<s>Get a screenshot or two of the start screen's [[Sparkla]] parade street.</s>
*<s>I think I encountered a small slider glitch in [[Cowgirl in the Wilderness]], which I should look into.</s>
*"Sour Gang"...?
*<s>Peach and Stella do a silly pose if the player does not move after they slid down a railing.</s>
*Most of the plays have posters next to them, e.g. of <s>[[Junior Detective]]</s>.

**<s>[[Swordfighter Rehearsal]]</s>
**A whole lot of "Profiles and statistics" → "In-game descriptions" for transformations.
*<s>Upload SSB 3rd 3DS theme. As images of it seem very hard to find online, I guess I'll go for borrowing SmashWiki's file of it.</s>
*<s>Test through further playing if the Fronk blow microgame is always the pro-blow(?) version in SplitScreen Ultra.</s>
 
===16 May 2024===
*Make pages for (Not a matter of haste): [[Microsoft]], due to e.g. [[Diddy Kong Racing DS]], [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], [[Bill Gates]], [[Mario's FUNdamentals]], etc., etc., etc.

*<s>Sparkle Gem 4 for [[A Parade on Ice]] is flatout wrong from my test efforts, so I need to find out how to actually get it.</s>
*<s>The "Theepota" museum items in [[The Case of the Missing Mural]] and [[The Dark Museum & the Purple Mystery]] narrowly has enough info on it to warrant a section on the [[Theet]] page.</s>
