==Spaces and talk page sections==
Forgot to mention, but you can still create talk pages when you are not autoconfimed. Also, when adding a talk page message, you should split it into a separate section if it is about a different subject instead of replying to a different discussion. Also, in pages sections should be split with spaces so for example a references section should be split from the page's templates however templates should not be split from categories. Finally when linking to an external link the code should be for example <code><nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario Wikipedia page]</nowiki></code>. Thanks! {{User:doomhiker/sig}} 10:17, 16 February 2019 (EST)

:No, I still could not create my talk page either. By the way, I am more of a cleaner and a grammar improver. When it comes to '''the sections''' and a space between the topic, I have to remove the space, because it keeps it in great shape. [[User:Dove|Dove]] ([[User talk:Dove|talk]]) 10:24, 16 February 2019 (EST)

::There are some case with sub-sections where sections should not have a space in between such as when there is a "_ series" followed by "_ game" however references sections should always have a space in between the templates and categories. Also, [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:World_7_(Super_Mario_3D_Land)&diff=prev&oldid=2604901 please do not alter other user's comments], as while there was mistakes altering other user's comments is strictly against the rules. {{User:doomhiker/sig}} 10:32, 16 February 2019

:::Okay! Still, I need to back space the info that leaves a gap between the headers, though! [[User:Dove|Dove]] ([[User talk:Dove|talk]]) 07:50, 17 February 2019 (EST)
