==My profile==
Please read my profile to find out why the title of my profile and talk page read Koops.

:FYI, your talk page isn't meant to hold your profile, it's meant for discussions with you. You should save the profile for when you're able to create your user page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:22, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

I was going to remove it when I am able to create my user page. [[User:Starclimber the NightWing|Starclimber the NightWing]] ([[User talk:Starclimber the NightWing|message]]) [[File:NightWing.png|25px]] 22:42, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

==RE: User page==
Not sure why it says that, as the [[Special:UserGroupRights|right]] to create discussion pages is accessible to everyone. Putting the reply here, though, so that your talk page can be created. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 16:18, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

== Signature Tips ==

I see a few issues with you using signatures (<code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code>)
*Raw code. See [[MarioWiki:Signatures]] for {{SITENAME}}'s general policy and [[Help:Signature]] for help how to set one up.
*Embedding the entire image instead of a thumbnail. The wiki software that {{SITENAME}} uses can generate thumbnails if you specify the dimensions. 25px for a width should be appropriate for signatures: [[File:NightWing.png|25px]] (<code><nowiki>[[File:NightWing.png|25px]]</nowiki></code>). More markup options can be found [[mediawiki.org:Help:Images#Syntax|here]].
You are not in trouble. Just helping out so that way things work smoothly for you. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 20:21, 16 May 2018 (EDT)

== Images ==

First of all, good catch on [[:File:Rogueport Map.PNG]]! Can't believe that spelling error went unnoticed until now.

Though keep in mind that when moving images, you need to correct links that lead to it. The best way to find all these are to go the the "What links here" option on the sidebar, which will give you all current links to the page. Tip: Start looking through templates first ;) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:50, 18 May 2018 (EDT)
:I also want to take this time to say you've been editing userspace quite extensively, even before you became autoconfirmed. You've made one edit to the mainspace and one to a file other than your own, with the other [[Special:EditCount/Starclimber the NightWing|~90% of your edits]] being to userspace (yours and others) and MarioWiki namespace. While it is important for a community to get to know you better, do try to mix in more mainspace edits. Thanks! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:30, 18 May 2018 (EDT)

== Identifiers ==

While, yes, [[Donkey Kong (game)|''Donkey Kong'']] is an arcade game, it's more accurate to just call it simply (game), since it's the only game named "Donkey Kong" and no further identification is needed. If you need more info on identifiers, please take a look at [[MarioWiki:Naming#Determining_the_identifier]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:15, 26 May 2018 (EDT)

== Image ==

{{aboutfile-reminder}}
{{imagecategory-reminder}}

Regarding [[:File:Peach Beach leaderboard.jpg|this upload]], I'm not sure what your intended purpose is. If you're planning to add it to a public article or gallery, please remember to fill in {{tem|aboutfile}} appropriately and also remove {{tem|uncategorized}} and replace it with the appropriate game category (in this case, [[:Category:Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Images]]), both of which have already been done for you. If this is meant to be a personal image showing your racing record, please tag it with <code><nowiki>{{personal-image|Starclimber the NightWing}}</nowiki></code>. More information on personal images can be found [[MarioWiki:Personal files|here]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:11, 31 May 2018 (EDT)
:Please remember these steps to fill out the aboutfile template and categorize correctly. Oh, additionally, if you aren't able to provide a good quality image, please also include {{tem|image-quality}} in your upload summary. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:08, 29 June 2018 (EDT)

== RE:Username change ==

You would go to [[MarioWiki:Changing username]] and make a new request at the bottom, following the instructions. However, you need to wait three months after your account creation date, which means you can make a request on August 12th. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:06, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
:I do not have that right. You can make the request like I said above on the Changing username page on August 12th. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:28, 22 June 2018 (EDT)
::Again, I do not have that right. Wait until August 12th, and then make the request on [[MarioWiki:Changing username]]. A [[MarioWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]] will take care of rename and the inactive user as they see fit. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 02:01, 24 June 2018 (EDT)

== RE:Delete files ==
One's a file redirect, but it looks like it's still in use. Are you sure? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:49, 22 June 2018 (EDT)

I don't use it anymore, so delete them. [[File:Koops - PMTTYD.png|25px]][[User:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">Koops</span>]]''' ('''[[User talk:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">message</span>]]''') 16:51, 22 June 2018 (EDT)
:Okay, they've been deleted. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:55, 22 June 2018 (EDT)

== Show preview ==

Hi, I've noticed that you've been making quite a few consecutive edits to your userpage. I recommend using the '''Show preview''' button located next to '''Save page'''. This will display how the page will look after the edit. Making a whole bunch of edits to your page in a row to make something look right (I assume that's what's happening) will stack up your userspace edits and possibly get you reprimanded.<br>
{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 19:16, 22 June 2018 (EDT)

:"Reprimanded" here means a Warning or a Reminder.
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 17:22, 30 June 2018 (EDT)
:P.S. Sorry for my late answer. I've been on vacation.

== RE:Username change ==

In regards to what you said on Mario jc's talk page, let me just say that even though the account is inactive, the fact that it has legitimate edits alone is enough to ''not'' take that username. It's not uncommon for users to come back from hiatuses lasting several years (and perhaps even decades). You'll need to request another username. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 18:49, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
:Yeeeaah, trying to communicate with an inactive user likely isn't going to result in anything. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:06, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
::I'm pretty sure "Koops 2.0" ''is'' available. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:29, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
:::You can only request a username change after being three months on the wiki, which means you can request in August 12. Please don't request before that. {{User:YoshiEgg1990/sig}} 16:20, 27 June 2018 (EDT)

== RE:Archive ==

See [[MarioWiki:Userspace#What_can_I_have_on_my_user_talk_page.3F|this]]. {{User:YoshiEgg1990/sig}} 16:35, 27 June 2018 (EDT)

== RE: IP address ==

[[MarioWiki:Administrators|Yes]], to check if users are [[MarioWiki:Glossary#S|sockpuppeting]]. Same with the mods on the forums. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:30, 27 June 2018 (EDT)
:Can you track IP addresses used by users?[[File:Koops - PMTTYD.png|25px]][[User:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">Koops</span>]]''' ('''[[User talk:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">message</span>]]''') 17:20, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
::I've just answered that. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:32, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

== RE: Delete file ==

Done. If you need something deleted, you can just mark it with {{tem|delete}}.

Also, I've noticed you use raw coding when you add your signature. You should create a [[User:Starclimber the NightWing/sig|signature page]] and place the code there:

<pre>[[File:Koops - PMTTYD.png|25px]][[User:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">Koops</span>]]''' ('''[[User talk:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">message</span>]]'''</pre>

After that, go to your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] (also found at the top of the screen), and in the text field under "Signature", type in <nowiki>{{SUBST:nosubst|User:Starclimber the NightWing/sig}}</nowiki>, tick the "Treat signature as wikitext" box and click save at the bottom of the page. Once you've done that, whenever you type <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> to sign, your signature (<code><nowiki>{{User:Starclimber the NightWing/sig}}</nowiki></code>) comes up, not the individual images and text formatting. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:32, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

:You're still leaving raw code when you sign. Did you change your preferences? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:56, 29 June 2018 (EDT)

::Done. {{user|Starclimber the NightWing}} 21:40, 30 June 2018 (EDT)

:::Still appears to be doing the same thing. Did you type <nowiki>{{SUBST:nosubst|User:Starclimber the NightWing/sig}}</nowiki> in the text field and tick the "Treat signature as wikitext" box? Continuing to use raw coding for your signature will have it replaced with a standard username signature. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:36, 30 June 2018 (EDT)

::::Fixed it now. {{:User:Starclimber the NightWing/sig}} 23:32, 30 June 2018 (EDT)

== You's ==

Hi. Just letting you know, according to the [[MW:MOS#No_.22you.22s|Manual of Style]], using "you"s in articles is not allowed. Please use "The Player", "The Character", or "Mario" instead. Thanks! {{User:YoshiEgg1990/sig}} 14:35, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
:Just to quickly add to this, the only one that should be capitalised is Mario. {{User|Yoshi876}}
:OK thanks! [[File:Koops - PMTTYD.png|25px]][[User:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">Koops</span>]]''' ('''[[User talk:Starclimber the NightWing|<span style="font-family:serif;color:#008000">message</span>]]''') 14:57, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
