#'''Personal Images''' – some of you have over 10 personal images, and note that the personal image policy says you can only have four (five including signature image). Some of you just upload and stick them onto your user pages without even labeling them as personal images. I found a shocking number of unlabeled personal image while going through all images. Some of you didn't know about it before and that's okay. But now that you do know after reading this, you should take responsibility and dispose of your extra personal images. Tell other new users and friends who aren't aware of the rule too. | #'''Personal Images''' – some of you have over 10 personal images, and note that the personal image policy says you can only have four (five including signature image).

#'''Stubby pages''' – some of you have been creating one sentence pages, mainly around SPM. Others like the [[Fay]] article use <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> to simply look like the writer gave no effort in creating the page and copy & pasted it. My point is, if you don't know anything about an article (other than what game it appears in), don't create it at all. This drives away the attention on the red links and drives serious writers away. I mean no one wants to work on crappy pages, do they? | #'''Stubby pages''' – some of you have been creating one sentence pages, mainly around SPM.

#'''Vandalism''' – you all need to be informed in this department. You guys shouldn't block anyone on first warning. People make mistakes, it happens. Some people could be caught up in recent sockpuppet vandalism problem. Before anybody blocks or suspects another user of being a sockpuppet, give the user a chance. At first offense, use {{Tem|Reminder}}. If you have reason to suspect the user is deliberately continuing trollish actions, us {{Tem|Warning}}. If the user continues with the maliceful behavior despite knowing the consequences, use {{Tem| | #'''Vandalism''' – you all need to be informed in this department.

If you have reason to suspect the user is deliberately continuing trollish actions, us {{Tem|Warning}}. If the user continues with the maliceful behavior despite knowing the consequences, use {{Tem|Lastwarn}}. If the user disregards the Lastwarn template, then it is appropriate to block him/her. After doing so, place {{Tem|Block}} on the user's talk page including information about how long he has been blocked. Remember to keep block times sensible. Don't block a user for an infinite amount of time just because he/she was creating bad articles or spamming. The only time it is really okay to block a user for an infinite amount of time is if that user is a [[MarioWiki:Trolls|troll]]. Use common sense. | ||

I'm especially getting tired of using {{tem|personal-image}} all the time on certain users' images. {{tem|aboutfile}} is optional, but good for article images. One-sentence image summaries is usually sufficient, depending on the content. | ||

#Remember [[ | #Remember [[Help:Article]]. It also advises to not create the article if you know nothing about it. Construction pages for SPM, like the list pages, are fine, but one-sentence pages are not. [[Catch Card]] is an excellent example of what we're looking for. | ||
#I have to half-agree and half-disagree here. The warning templates in order should be used, sometimes if it's bad the first time you can skip to {{tem|warning}} right away. But spammers will come back after their block is up, so we rarely do not block indefinitely. The "block time" variable is mostly nonexistent on this wiki. Plain & simple. | #I have to half-agree and half-disagree here. The warning templates in order should be used, sometimes if it's bad the first time you can skip to {{tem|warning}} right away.

You all heard the Yoshi. Mainly, start trimming your personal images down to 4. Remember the sig pic as a separate personal image. If you listen, this could really boost the efficiency of the wiki. As for the block thing, people should still be given second chances, no matter what. Plus, they'll probably be bored and go away anyway. The point is that we showed mercy and we aren't at fault. Maybe the second block can be infinite.<br>[[User:Confused|<span style="color:Red;">I</span>]] [[User talk:Confused|<span style="color:Blue;">am</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Confused|<span style="color:Green;">Confused</span>]] 22:56, 25 April 2007 (EDT) | You all heard the Yoshi.
