== Some things ==

Hey welcome. Noticing you're having some mistakes with writing. I recommend you go over [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]], but here's some quick things:
*Italics are used for media titles, such as game names. They are not used for subjects like Gold Mario.
*Bolds are used for the first instance of a subject on the subject's page. For example, the first use of "Mario" on Mario's page.
*"It's" means "it is", "its" is used possessively (English, yay).
*Be sure to double check your writing for typos, the software will usually point out misspellings.

Thank you and keep contributing. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:34, April 26, 2021 (EDT)
*Thanks, but the "it's/its part is just a mistake.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 18:53, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

* I remember seeing a video showing both of these facts being true. Here's the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qe66gZTjeSI
At 1:57, you can see SMB2 Mario take damage by getting a Super Mushroom.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 18:53, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

:That's Mario hitting the spikes below the Mushroom, taking damage and then picking the Mushroom up. This also has nothing to do with getting 1110 lives in ''NSMBW''. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:28, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

Make sure you're also ''italicising'' media titles per [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles]] and as Alex mentioned above. For example, [[Super Mario Bros. 2]] should be formatted as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:41, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

Don't abbreviate either. SMM should be written in full as ''Super Mario Maker'', SMM2 as ''Super Mario Maker 2'' etc. {{User:Mario jc/sig}}

Just be aware that you're still using "it's" in cases where you should be using "its" (e.g. "its remake"). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:17, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

"Ressemble" is spelled "resemble" with one "s". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:11, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

{{reminder|2=using "it's" instead of "its"}}
You did that on your latest edit on the Boomerang Bro article. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 10:33, May 23, 2021 (EDT)
:If you keep doing this from this point, you will be given a warning. Also, in one of your recent [[Cat Mario]] edits, you also used "to" when it should be "two". {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 13:35, May 27, 2021 (EDT)
* Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I don't mean to.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 13:39, May 27, 2021 (EDT)
:That's why you should proofread your edits (especially large paragraphs), as you're sometimes leaving misspellings. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:18, May 27, 2021 (EDT)

{{last warning}}
[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Captain_Toad&curid=167609&diff=3215871&oldid=3213939 Don't change instances of "its" to "it's" either]. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 08:21, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

== Couple more things ==

When adding the port's title to section headers, they should be formatted like this: <nowiki>''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''</nowiki>. So in short, italics must still be placed before and after the slash. Also, don't use contractions in mainspace articles, words should be written in full e.g "do not" instead of "don't". {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 20:33, May 4, 2021 (EDT)

== Checking edits ==

''Please check over your edits'' before leaving them. A large edit like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_3D_World_%2B_Bowser%27s_Fury&type=revision&diff=3193894&oldid=3193828 the one you made] on [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]] should have been something you'd look over first (especially on an article being improved upon for a FA nomination), and you should have noticed the images had their widths unspecified and were too big. Next time, use the "Show preview" button to see what your edits look like before saving them, and once you're satisfied with them, click "Save changes". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:40, May 6, 2021 (EDT)
* I did, but the device I used didn't show that they were that big. Sorry.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 08:24, May 6, 2021 (EDT)
::Ah right, I didn't see the mobile edit tags, apologies. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:16, May 6, 2021 (EDT)

You forgot to specify the width again for the Long ? Block image in your last edit. I strongly suggest you switch to desktop mode when making edits like this so you can check if the image size, alignment etc. looks right in that mode. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:07, May 17, 2021 (EDT)
*You’re right, I should. Thanks for suggesting.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 07:39, May 18, 2021 (EDT)

== Adding items to tables ==

Hello there. Thanks for adding extra items to the ''Bowser's Fury'' main page, but I wanted to let you know that those tables for enemies and objects are typically in alphabetical order, even if related objects like Jump Panels and Red Jump Panels aren't grouped together. Keep that in mind the next time you edit them. [[User:0blivion|0blivion]] ([[User talk:0blivion|talk]]) 10:53, May 12, 2021 (EDT)
*Okay, thanks for letting me know.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 11:16, May 12, 2021 (EDT)

== Multiple and minor edits ==

My watchlist page has many edits you've made in a small span of time. I know that you can't typically add everything you want to add to a page in one edit, but I think it would be helpful to plan what parts you're going to add all at once, to lessen the number of times a page is edited in one session. You can use the '''Show preview''' button below the edit box to see the article change without actually editing it yet. I use it frequently to make sure that my edits look correct, and that I'm not missing something.

Sometimes I realize I need to fix something after I submit the edit. If you're making very small corrections, or edits that otherwise don't add to the content of the article, it would be good to mark them as '''minor edits''', using the checkbox below the edit box. [[User:0blivion|0blivion]] ([[User talk:0blivion|talk]]) 12:04, May 13, 2021 (EDT)
*Okay.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 12:34, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

== Trivia ==

I would suggest reading over [[MarioWiki:Trivia]]. Avoid adding information straight to trivia and see if you can incorporate it somewhere else in the article like the History sections first. Try to also avoid adding trivia that's already mentioned in the article and unnoteworthy tidbits in general (like listing similar traits between two forms). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:34, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

I've already linked the policy page explaining why [[Special:Diff/3247801|this is discouraged]]. Also, in the future, don't edit an old revision to the page; this is indicated by a warning at the top that reads "'''You are editing an out-of-date revision of this page'''", and by doing this, you erase every edit made after it. Please be more careful editing next time and make use of the "Show preview" and "Show changes" buttons (a number of the edits on [https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario?action=history&offset=&limit=100& Mario's page especially] were clumsy). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:11, August 11, 2021 (EDT)

== ''Bowser's Fury'' images ==

I'm planning to open ''Bowser's Fury'' and take images for what I hope can be the last time. Currently, I'm taking pictures of a Cloud Lift, Fire Bar, and Spike Roller, as well as the title screen and menus for the main campaign. If there's anything else you're planning to add to the tables on the main page, or another image that would be good in general, please let me know. [[User:0blivion|0blivion]] ([[User talk:0blivion|talk]]) 12:07, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
*Okay, I will. I’m sorry if I’m annoying you.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 16:36, May 14, 2021 (EDT)
**I have one in mind now. Now it's [[Spike Trap]]s.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 09:02, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
***Now it's [[Bubble]]s.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 09:02, May 29, 2021 (EDT)

== Game title headers ==

Try to be careful when placing italics in section headers. If you're missing the closing apostrophes like [[Special:Diff/3202095|here]], it causes most of the page to be italicised (this happens in desktop mode but in mobile mode you'll notice all of the sections are uncollapsed and their headers italicised). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:43, May 15, 2021 (EDT)

== Redirect template ==

The template is only to be used if the term in question is actually a redirect link to that page. "[[Super Mario]]" is not a redirect to the [[Mario]] page, and "[[Koopa King]]" is not a redirect to the [[Bowser]] page, so a redirect template for those terms on those respective pages are ''not'' to be used. You may want to search those terms to check yourself before putting that template on articles. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 08:51, May 24, 2021 (EDT)

== New articles ==

Please keep in mind [[Rabbid Rosalina|when creating]] [[Special:Diff/3201724|new articles]] that they should have navigation templates and categories (see the corresponding sections on [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]]). If none exist yet (because it's an upcoming subject, for example), that's fine, but there are other, already existing categories that should be added, like "Category:Allies" and "Category:Rabbids". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:04, June 14, 2021 (EDT)
*Okay, thanks for letting me know.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 09:20, June 14, 2021 (EDT)

:You still forgot this despite acknowledging it. You need to switch to desktop mode to see the categories but you're still able to add them to the article. You're also still misspelling "resemble" as "ressemble". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:49, June 19, 2021 (EDT)

Please recall this message, your last few articles were still missing navigation templates and categories. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:06, October 27, 2023 (EDT)

== Section headers ==

Keep in mind that any section headers that are categorised under another section header should be one level under it. e.g. "''Super Smash Bros.'' series" is a level-3 header (three equal signs):

<pre>
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
</pre>

so any games under it like ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' should be level 4 (four equal signs):

<pre>
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
</pre>

{{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:49, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

== Image categories ==

{{imagecategory-reminder}}

After removing {{tem|uncategorized}}, make sure you replace it with the appropriate game category link (in the case of your recent uploads, <code><nowiki>[[Category:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Images]]</nowiki></code>).

Also, avoid adding each image to a page or gallery one at a time, as this floods the history page; instead, you can make all of your uploads first and then add them all at once. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:35, August 16, 2021 (EDT)
* Yeah, that would be a good idea. Thanks for suggesting.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 11:25, August 17, 2021 (EDT)

== RE:Hello! ==

As long as you mark them as personal images, it should be fine. See [[MarioWiki:Personal files|this policy page]] for more information. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 09:33, August 6, 2022 (EDT)

== Excessive linking ==

Be aware of the pages you're linking to when adding links. Don't link generic objects to other, unrelated objects in a different context (e.g. linking a generic "pickaxe" used by the green Toad in ''SMG'' to the [[pickaxe]] from ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', which is unrelated), or to disambiguation pages like [[ghost]] and [[fire]]. These don't help the reader.

Make sure links also lead to the correct subject (e.g. [[Poison]] is a disambig. page; the hazardous liquid "poison" should be linked to [[Poison (obstacle)]]). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:20, November 4, 2023 (EDT)

== SSBU models ==

Hi! Please stop uploading models of non-Mario ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' characters. Those are meant for the Smash Wiki, not the Mario Wiki. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 19:57, June 5, 2024 (EDT)
:Oh, sorry.[[User:Giga Cat Weegee|Giga Cat Weegee]] ([[User talk:Giga Cat Weegee|talk]]) 19:59, June 5, 2024 (EDT)
