== Articles ==

When making new articles, please add as much available information to it as you can, rather than just one or two sentences and leave it to someone else. The [[Beach (room)]] article is fine, though there may be more to it. But [[Elevator Hall (The Dance Hall)]] and [[Scale Chamber]] were deleted for being too short.

Also, you shouldn't leave sections empty. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:53, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Hi, when creating articles, be sure to put in as much information and effort as possible, as [[Elevator Hall (The Dance Hall)|the two articles]] [[Scale Chamber|that you created]] did not follow that example. Thank you. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 17:54, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

The information above is only us trying to help you. I understand there are a lot of policies and things you have to keep in mind, but things will get easier so long as you take your time. That said, you should not remove other people's comments, as a talk page is meant to be a history of conversations, and you should not continuously revert them being put back. While it was kept to this talk page, content should not be continuously changing. If you are having trouble, please let someone know, but we will not ban upon request.

== Header capitalisation ==

Words in section and table headers that aren't proper nouns [[MarioWiki:Manual_of_Style#Capitalization_and_italics|should not be capitalised]] (unless it's the first word), so "Level Appearances" should be "level appearances". This also applies to anything that doesn't have an official capitalised name ("Rising Water", "Pillar Dirt Trap" etc. shouldn't be capitalised).

Also, make sure links use the current article title ("Flashing Shell" should be "[[Shell (flashing)]]", but it can be piped to change the display text: <code><nowiki>[[Shell (flashing)|Flashing shell]]</nowiki></code>). Linking to the castle levels like "[[#1 Iggy's Castle]]" also doesn't work because "#" is used in wiki code to link to a section on a page (e.g. [[#Articles]] links to the first post on this talk page). The castle articles omit the "#" in the title, so the article is [[1 Iggy's Castle]] and the link should be linked like: <code><nowiki>[[1 Iggy's Castle|#1 Iggy's Castle]]</nowiki></code>. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:53, August 25, 2022 (EDT)

Yes sir. {{User:LgndKing/sig}} 10:35, August 25, 2022 (EDT)

<hr>

You should also be aware of section levels when adding new sections (the number of equal signs when typing them in). If you look at [[Help:Editing#Sections, paragraphs, lists, and lines]], sections with more equal signs are direct ''sub''-sections of the section before it, so something related to ''Super Mario World'' on an enemy page, like a "List of level appearances" section, should be '''one level under''' the "''Super Mario World''" section:

<pre>
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
=====List of level appearances=====
</pre>

So two equal signs (<code><nowiki>==List of level appearances==</nowiki></code>) is incorrect, because this doesn't put it under "''Super Mario World''", and it wrongly treats every other section on the article under it as part of this section.

Similarly, "Traps and obstacles" on the ''Origami King'' page are not "other species", so it should be its own section rather than a sub-section:

<pre>
==Enemies==

==Other species==

==Traps and obstacles==
</pre>

Again, don't capitalise non-proper nouns in headings, so "Obstacles" should be "obstacles". However, "Paper Mistake" (from Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle) and "Dry Bones" are names, so these should be capitalised, not lowercase. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:29, August 29, 2022 (EDT)

You're still capitalising normal nouns in headers and titles. "Objects" should not be in capitals. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:23, April 21, 2023 (EDT)

== SPP stages ==

Hey, just so you know, the 7th, 8th, and 9th stages in each world are actually bonus stages that can only be accessed once Bowser is beaten, affecting how they would be listed for an entity's first or last appearance in them.

== Wario Land 3's Enemy First Appearances and Last Appearances ==

I'm curious about something: have you played ''[[Wario Land 3]]''? The reason I am asking this is due to the addition of the "First appearance" and "Last appearance" columns in the enemy section. From what I see, the criteria on what a first level is is just the first level in the order, and likewise for the last level, without factoring in when the enemy is able to be encountered by the order of the levels and treasures in which they are unlocked.

Wario Land 3 is a non-linear game, more so than pretty much every other Wario Land game, so the order in which the levels are tackled is not set. As an example, [[The Warped Void]] is always unlocked after [[Forest of Fear]], which would technically make it the last level, even though Forest of Fear is the last level in level order. Even then, [[Above the Clouds (Wario Land 3)]] can also be unlocked after The Warped Void, which might not make either Forest of Fear or The Warped Void the last level (this notably affects the bird enemies). For an example of an enemy, there is the Doughnuteer. The area that you encounter the Doughnuteer in [[Out of the Woods]] can't be accessed in the beginning even though it is technically the first level you unlocked, while they are encountered normally in [[The Peaceful Village]], which makes it their true first appearance. Since Out of the Woods can also be the last level you play (the Doughnuteer is in the Blue Chest area, which is the last one you unlock before you can battle the final boss), doesn't that basically mean Doughnuteer appears in Out of the Woods last? Another example are the snakes. They are unlocked simultaneously in three different levels after you get a necessary treasure, where previously only the pots appear in those levels, so their first appearances are actually in three levels that you previously unlocked instead of just The Peaceful Village. 

My point here is that even first and last appearances is muddied if you take into account the game's non-linearity.

I understand that you want to help out, but I think that for this game, it's not quite accurate to give enemies a first and last appearance when the level order you tackle is not linear. Maybe only the first appearance can be listed, but it should be done with an understanding of how the levels are unlocked and which part of the area is unlocked to allow those enemies to be encountered.

== Star Piece Cluster in SMG ==

Howdy! Thanks for contributing to the Mario 64 and Galaxy pages, and the great work you've done overall. I've been taking screenshots of the game's objects through [https://noclip.website/ noclip.website], but I cannot track down a Star Piece Cluster. Do you remember where they appear in Mario Galaxy? I know they show up, I just cannot remember where exactly and they aren't as common as they are in SMG2. Our own articles on the wiki don't explicitly mention where they show up either. No worries if you don't know - just thought I'd ask. Thanks again! - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 12:30, April 21, 2023 (EDT)
