Categories

Hello, I urge you to read MarioWiki:Categories before creating categories. Points of note:

• Non-game-specific categories (categories not tied to a game like "Category:Super Mario Bros. items") need a minimum of five articles, but should preferably have much more than that, so if it's only a handful, it's not worth creating a category for them. (See the "Size and scope" section.)
• Category pages should also have categories.
• When adding categories to pages, please make sure to take the "Order on pages" section into account.
• Words that aren't proper nouns in the category title should not be capitalised.

Please stop creating categories without heeding MarioWiki:Categories on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing. If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

If you're going to add certain categories to articles, either make sure they exist or create them first. Nightwicked Bowser 13:58, March 25, 2024 (EDT)

Please review my points above. Do not capitalise words in category titles that aren't proper nouns, so it should be "Final boss fight levels" (I'd actually prefer "Final boss levels" as it's cleaner). Mario JC 09:01, March 26, 2024 (EDT)

Excessive edits

Hello, Giga Cat Mario. When editing, if you'd like to see how your edits affect a page, use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save changes" button. This allows you to check over your edits for any errors and make any additional changes or fixes before you save, which will prevent edits from flooding the page history and recent changes. (If you are on mobile, make sure to check the preview page thoroughly before proceeding to save.) Please try to avoid making excessive, consecutive edits to a single page within a short timespan and instead limit them to as few as possible.

Don't make too many consecutive edits to a page. Scan the page for things to fix first and fix them all in one edit rather than editing one thing at a time. You should also be labelling small edits as "minor" with the "minor edit" checkbox above the "Save changes". Mario JC 22:01, April 18, 2024 (EDT)

New Super Mario Bros. series

The page(s) you recently created (New Super Mario bros series) has/have been put up for deletion, has been deleted, or turned into a redirect. This may be because it violated at least one of the policies and/or guidelines of the Super Mario Wiki. There are some things you can do to ensure this doesn't happen again. Make sure there is no other article about the same subject with a different title, especially for conjectural articles. Make sure the article has enough information to make it a worthwhile read (i.e. it does more than state the obvious, such as "Luigi's Mansion is a mansion that is owned by Luigi"). Overly short articles are known as stubs and their creation is strongly discouraged; it is better to amass enough information to make a solid article right off the bat instead. Make sure the article is significant enough in the Super Mario franchise to have its own article. If the article has only been tagged to be deleted you can still fix or expand it, but an administrator may delete it at any time, so please act quickly. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing!

When creating a new article, it needs to be in a near completed state upon completion, not just a section header and one image. There also needs to be categories and navigation templates added to the bottom, and the article title should be properly capitalised with "series" in brackets, so "New Super Mario Bros. (series)". I should mention that the idea of a New Super Mario Bros. series article has been proposed before, although it didn't pass so this would require another proposal for the article to be created anyway.
