When naming game titles, [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles|please remember to ''italicise'' them]]. You do that by clicking the <tt>'''''I'''''</tt> icon above the text box and typing the name in, or typing two apostrophes before and after the name, so [[Super Mario All-Stars]] (<code><nowiki>[[Super Mario All-Stars]]</nowiki></code>) must be written as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' (<code><nowiki>''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''</nowiki></code>). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:55, July 22, 2019 (EDT)

Please recall what I said here. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:38, November 8, 2019 (EST)
Italics don't work with quotation marks (<code><nowiki>"[[Super Mario Party]]"</nowiki></code>); they need to be double apostrophes (<code><nowiki>''[[Super Mario Party]]''</nowiki></code>). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:39, December 31, 2019 (EST)

{{warning|2=forgetting italics}}
Please remember this guideline; you've been reminded multiple times and would have noticed other game titles on the article using them. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 11:02, May 14, 2020 (EDT)

After discussing this further with the admins, the warnings have been overturned. Like any other infobox, there's nothing wrong with having a caption in the level infoboxes. They can be added back. Apologies. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:17, August 22, 2019 (EDT)

Like any other infobox, there's nothing wrong with having a caption in the level infoboxes, even though no other level article outside of ''Dark Moon'' has them. They can be added back.

== Grammar ==
 
"a" when used before a word beginning with a vowel should be "an" (e.g. "'''an''' elastic platform" instead of "a elastic platform"). Please try to watch your grammar, including what I said above about spaces before parentheses, as well as spelling - a common mistake you're making is "starring" (as in looking at something), which should be "staring". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:16, September 1, 2019 (EDT)
 
== Linking ==
 
To link to another page with a different name in the link, it's done like this:
 
<pre>[[The name of the page you're linking to|The name displayed]]</pre>
 
e.g.
 
<pre>[[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS remake]]</pre>
 
Something to keep in mind since you left a dead link [[Special:Diff/2774503|here]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:04, October 5, 2019 (EDT)
 
== Fan-related info ==
 
Please avoid adding fan-related information like a game is "considered one of the best/classic/iconic/etc." and that "many fans requested a remake" based on what you've likely heard around the game community, forums etc. ([[Special:Diff/2896954|This is also not a typo]] btw) especially without providing anything to back it up. For reception sections in particular, it should be a [[MarioWiki:Reception and sales|summary of a consensus based on the critics' reviews]], not yours or fans'. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:48, March 5, 2020 (EST)
 
== PMTOK controls ==
 
Do not assume facts, please. Yes, it's likely you'll jump and hammer with {{button|switch|a}} and {{button|switch|b}}, but you shouldn't add them until it's actually been shown (nor has Nintendo even shown the hammer being used outside of artwork). And if something is true, [[#Luigi's Mansion 3DS|as with any info on upcoming games]], provide a source. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:38, May 19, 2020 (EDT)
 
Start citing your edits with sources. [[MarioWiki:Citations]] explains how you do this. Adding upcoming game information without a source will lead to them getting removed and a warning being issued. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:29, May 19, 2020 (EDT)
 
You mentioned "Bobby is the only one to have seen [[Luigi]], who has apparently been missing" according to a "website's description". I'd like to see a more specific source for this because there doesn't seem to be anything about this on the website. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:29, July 3, 2020 (EDT)
 
== "an" ==
 
"a" before a word beginning with a vowel should be "an" (e.g. "'''an''' Easter egg", not "a Easter egg"). EDIT: Just noticed I already notified you about this. Please keep this in mind. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:48, July 9, 2020 (EDT)
 
== Beta Larry ==
 
That's Larry, not Iggy, which the video even mentions. I've moved it [[7 Larry's Castle#Trivia|there]].
 
While I'm here, for future file uploads, remember to replace {{tem|uncategorized}} with a category link, as I've done [[Special:Diff/3218928|here]], and your file should use a descriptive title rather than the default file name that was given when you saved it. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:03, June 13, 2021 (EDT)
