== Italics ==

I've seen you go back and forth with this, but keep in mind that any game title you name on articles needs to be in ''italics'' (as TheFlameChomp has done for you [[Special:Diff/2603618|here]]). [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]] lists some basic guidelines for editing (including sections) if you'd like to give it a read. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:01, 14 February 2019 (EST)

If I didn't apply italics with a game title, it was a mistake. [[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 17:24, 15 February 2019 (EST)

==Off/Off Switch comment==
Hello, please note that replying to old comments is against the rules. Also, [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:ON/OFF_Switch&curid=41380&diff=2610897&oldid=2606192 your reply] to Mario Jc is disrespectful to a bureaucrat.

== Sections ==

Please avoid creating separate sections if there isn't enough distinctive information to split them, and especially not with [[Special:Diff/2614114|empty sections]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:04, 3 March 2019 (EST)
: Okay. Is a list of appearances in levels enough to split them? [[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 15:54, 4 March 2019 (EST)

==Unfinished pages==
Hello, if you are not done making a page, then please add it to a document, make a user sandbox, or add the {{tem|construction}} template to the page instead of creating an unfinished page. Thanks! {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 15:46, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

:Per all but the last one. You shouldn't create stub articles marked with {{tem|construction}} so it can be finished later; it must have a sufficient amount of content from the start, but if little information has been revealed about the subject, wait for more information to be released before creating it. Please follow the [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]] when creating new articles as well. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:55, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

{{reminder|2=Making stub articles}}
You have created another stub article. Pages must have all available information before being published. As said before you can create a document or make a sandbox to store your writing before publishing it, if you need more time then you currently have. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:18, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 
== New subjects ==

Subjects in an upcoming game use {{tem|new subject}}, not {{tem|upcoming}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:49, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

: Ok. [[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 17:17, May 12, 2019 (EDT)

==Categories==
{{imagecategory-reminder}}
{{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 18:34, May 15, 2019 (EDT)

The category link needs the "Category:" prefix to work ([[:Category:Super Mario Maker Images]], not [[Super Mario Maker Images]]). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:37, May 15, 2019 (EDT)
: Error on my part, although I was trying to use [[:Category:Super Mario Maker 2 Images]]. Tangentially related: shouldn't forms be separate listings on [[Super Mario Maker]], if we're going to split [[Goomba]]s from [[Goombrat]]s?

== User subpages ==

Your [[User:B700465189a9/Userboxes/Game completion]] is not allowed. The code for the userbox can just be placed on your page, you don't need a separate page for the userbox. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:16, May 16, 2019 (EDT)

== Templates ==

I understand the use for {{tem|SMM2 difficulty}}, but I don't think it's coded correctly. "2" only displays one star, for instance. Unless it's supposed to be that way, I haven't played ''Super Mario Maker 2'' yet.

But what is {{tem|Loop}} supposed to be for? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:33, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

: I am not experienced with MediaWiki syntax. {{tem|SMM2 difficulty}} is meant to show a star rating (parameters 3 and 4 produce ★★★☆), and {{tem|Loop}} was meant to accomplish it. [[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 16:42, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
::At its most basic, the template would look something like this:
::<nowiki>{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|1=☆
|2=★
|3=★☆
|4=★★
}}</nowiki>
::And so forth. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:25, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
:::That's with a defined maximum number of stars. The previous version took two parameters for minimum and maximum stars. [[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 07:30, July 20, 2019 (EDT)

== Image source ==

Does the source of your Cat Shine image really latches? I could not find it on this website. {{User:1JUST1/sig}} 15:38, January 13, 2021 (EST)
: Turn "Reduce Motion" off, then it will appear in place of the video that shows the image at one point. [[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 15:41, January 13, 2021 (EST)

==Koopa Mecha Maker==
The Nintendo Music track for Mario Wonder localizes the Bowser generator name as Mecha Maker. What's the source for "Koopa Mecha Maker"? {{User:LadySophie17/sig}} 22:46, October 31, 2024 (EDT)
: You'll have to ask [[User:Mario jc]] that, as it was introduced in [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_enemies_by_game&type=revision&diff=4418059&oldid=4418017 this revision]. --[[User:B700465189a9|B700465189a9]] ([[User talk:B700465189a9|talk]]) 22:50, October 31, 2024 (EDT)
::Since you didn't mention Nintendo Music I thought you were basing off the [[Super Mario Bros. Wonder#New enemies|''Mario Wonder'' page]] (where it's named "Koopa Mecha Maker" with a source) and forgot the "Koopa". It's fixed now. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:59, October 31, 2024 (EDT)

== Re: Taiko ==

Ah, you're right. I was mixing it up in my head with the SMB remix that did have that game's underwater theme, and figured the NSMBW medley would have it too. Thanks for checking. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 18:53, March 23, 2025 (EDT)

== Creating new articles ==

Howdy, B700465189a9. I am Nintendo101. I am one of the administrators on the wiki and a major contributor to coverage on the mainline games on the site. I saw you recently created the [[beacon]] article. While I appreciate you taking the initiative, please make sure articles are decently thorough before publishing and that distinct subjects are not lumped together. While similar, there was reason why beacons and [[glowing spot]]s (which I have split off) were not treated as synonyms for the same subject on their respective articles and [[User:Nintendo101#Subjects in the mainline Super Mario series that still need articles|this reference list]] I had put together. But even if they were, there is a lot of substantive information from ''Super Mario 3D World'', ''Super Mario Odyssey'', and ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' missing in the article as it was initially published. (For example, the glowing spots in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' appears in nearly every kingdom, are tied to Power Moon objects, rumble under Mario's feet, and interact with the [[Nintendog|dog]] in the game, but none of this was covered in the article as it was published.) When we publish articles that are missing info, it creates the impression that we do not do our due diligence with research, weakens the quality of our work, and can implicitly make impressions of our site worse than they should be.

Again, I really do appreciate you making these articles, but please make sure they are adequately robust before publishing. If they are not, then perhaps work on it in your sandbox beforehand or ask for a second opinion. Thank you! - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 12:35, March 24, 2025 (EDT)

:I believe splitting the appearance of beacons in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' from the object in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is incorrect. (I withdraw the claim that ''Super Mario 3D World'' or ''Bowser's Fury'' contain beacons, since these do not have the same visual effect.) The images later uploaded to [[glowing spot]]s represent a different kind of glowing spot with cold white light that, in some cases, changes the shape of terrain when activated. However, the objects used to obtain [[Power Moon]]s such as "Lost in the Luggage" appear visually identical to the beacons in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', which indicates to me that these specific glowing spots were simply loosely named beacons. You mention that there are reasons why you consider them distinct, but you do not explain them.

:The claim of lack of information is a separate matter, but I believe that the Power Moon attribute was adequately explained in [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Beacon&oldid=4798191 my revision of the article]. On the other hand, the splitting of the articles resulted in a loss of information, including not mentioning the previously present fact that [[Drill Mario]] would activate beacons. Thank you for investigating this matter! I hope that the wiki can provide a definitive resource for these subjects.

::We know that the glowing spot in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''Super Mario Odyssey'' because the creators of those games call it by the same name in both instances, and ''Super Mario Odyssey'' contains the expansion of many concepts first introduced in SM3DW, such as [[8-bit character]]s. Rather than visuals, I think the beacon in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' has more varied functions and is generally more ubiquitous in its levels than glowing spots, and this is substantiated by the fact that the people who created this object refer to it be a different name. However, the lack of information is the more important matter. We write the articles so that they can be read by the public, and their quality reflects the site at large. Again, I appreciate the initiative and you did not do anything wrong, but I hope you keep this in mind when you create new articles in the future. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 16:29, March 24, 2025 (EDT)
