Editing User talk:MarioManiac1981

CURRENT STATUS: Somewhat, if not barely, active.

Hi, welcome to my talk page! Please feel free to ask me any questions or make any suggestions regarding my edits. As always, be polite and courteous in your responses; no flaming, excessive swearing, or trolling will be allowed here. Thanks for understanding. 😊 (READ MY BACKSTORY!!)


The Maniacal Agent: This user joined the Super Mario Wiki as a n00b editor on May 27, 2018, in the effort to expand [[Toadette]]'s page. This user has been an avid fan of the ''[[Mario]]'' franchise since he was in kindergarten, and he has been reading the Super Mario Wiki since 2016. The Maniacal Agent's mission to expand Toadette's page was partially successful, though most of his writing turned out to be flowery. Over the course of time, the Maniacal Agent's edits have improved in quality, while he became better at using various editing techniques. Having edited over 40 articles over 1,000 times as of now, MarioManiac1981, our beloved Maniacal Agent, has become a well-meaning, veteran editor with the intention of helping the collaborative database community of the multimedia franchise that millions, including himself, have come to love, thrive and flourish in a rapidly engaging pace.

== Italics ==

Hello! Please remember to italicize game titles, which is done my placing two apostrophes on both sides of the name. For example, <code><nowiki>''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''</nowiki></code> becomes ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''. Also keep in mind that the apostrophes need to be placed outside of link brackets (<code><nowiki>''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''</nowiki></code>). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:59, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

Now I know how to italicize game titles. I was initially confused, because I thought that quotation marks were used instead of apostrophes. I've been reading the Super Mario Wiki's articles for 2 years (and I'm an avid fan and devotee to the ''Mario'' franchise), but I only decided to become a member 3 days ago, so I'm still new to the editing business and process. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 22:46, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

== Toadette ==

Thanks for expanding [[Toadette]]'s page with some missing information, but a majority of what you are adding appears to be irrelevant, repetitive, or outright fan-worship. The information about Toadette's powers boarders on her already established sections of her roles or from her personality and traits section, and the information on her friends and enemies may be excessive. Please avoid something like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Toadette&curid=1717&diff=2440604&oldid=2440599 this] and please read over [[MarioWiki:Good writing]] and the other [[Help:Contents|policies]] if you need to. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:51, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

OK, I'll avoid redundancy and flowery/long-winded writing with excessive details as much as possible. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 22:42, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

== How do you create user pages? ==

I want to know how to create my user page, so I'll be able to express myself, and state my ''Mario'' franchise obsession. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 23:26, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

:Hi. You need to be [[MarioWiki:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]] to be able to create pages, including your userpage. To reach this status, you must have had an account for at least five days and made at least four edits, so you'll need to wait three more days. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:32, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

== Any evidence regarding what you recently added to the Toadette article? ==

Specifically [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Toadette&curid=1717&diff=2443146&oldid=2442717#Cameos  this edit here]; I haven't run into any confirmed images and such saying that Toadette made a cameo appearance here. Please let me (and others) know as soon as possible; thanks. --M. C. - [[User:MeritC|Profile]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 20:08, 3 June 2018 (EDT)
:Letting you know the information was already listed [[List_of_Mario_references_in_third-party_video_games#The_Binding_of_Isaac_.2F_The_Binding_of_Isaac:_Rebirth_.28Steam.29|here]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:04, 3 June 2018 (EDT)

As mentioned above, I found this piece of information in [[List of ''Mario'' references in third-party video games]], but I thought that it'd be important to include in Toadette's main page. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 20:36, 4 June 2018 (EDT)

== Glitch ==

Hi, mind providing a source for [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario_%2B_Rabbids_Kingdom_Battle&curid=226898&diff=2444254&oldid=2441739 this]? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 13:18, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

== Donkey Kong Adventure DLC ==

Hi. I'm just wondering if anyone is looking for more information regarding ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'''s upcoming DLC, because I discovered that lagoon variants of Ziggies, Hoppers, and Smashers exist in the DLC story mode (via gameplay clips on YouTube), and that, a new enemy known as the Collector will appear in the DLC. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 20:52, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

== Personalities ==

Please dial down on going into too much detail with your information on characters' personalities, as much of it borders on subjectivity and still uses flowery writing as you were told above.

Also, can you please provide a source for Yoshi having his Super Dragon Final Smash? If this is speculative or false information, do not add this in again, as it is a [[MarioWiki:Warning policy|warnable offense]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:02, 2 July 2018 (EDT)

== SSB4 ==

Avoid using "''Super Smash Bros. 4''" or "''SSB4''" to refer to ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', as they are fan terms and not official. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:06, 7 July 2018 (EDT)

OK, got it!

== How do I protect my userpage? ==

I was just wondering this: how do I protect my userpage? I'm just concerned, because I don't want any shady user to vandalize my page and make a fool out of me. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 18:49, 22 July 2018 (EDT)
:User pages are protected by default, no need to worry about that. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 18:51, 22 July 2018 (EDT)

== Do You Like My Userpage? ==

Hi, fellow editors. I was just wondering if any of you like my userpage. Does it measure up to the wiki's standards? [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 22:49, 22 July 2018 (EDT)

How come nobody is answering? [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 22:18, 29 July 2018 (EDT)
:I guess it's all right, but if you want honest appraisal, it's uh... a bland list. Let's start on something: what's your opinion on the games you've played? {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 20:54, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
::Yo, Bazooka! I followed your advice, and made an entire section devoted to my opinion on certain ''Mario'' games. Feel free to check my userpage, and tell me if I can further improve it. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]])
:::Better. You think your userspace can have images? Oh, have you considered a userbox tower? {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:12, 1 August 2018 (EDT)

{{userspace}}
You're making too many consecutive userspace edits over a course of several days. In the future, please try to make your changes in one big edit, rather than multiple smaller edits, as the latter tends to clog the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] page. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 09:06, 1 August 2018 (EDT)

== Subjects in upcoming games ==

When adding a section on an upcoming game, it's a good idea to tag it with <code><nowiki>{{new subject|section=y}}</nowiki></code> to let readers know that more information will be added as the release date draws closer. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:27, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

== King K. Rool in Ultimate = Answering Fan Requests  ==

Hey, guys! Are any of you happy that Nintendo is finally listening to their fans by including King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? How many of you laud King K. Rool's return to video games, and how many of you are appalled by his presence? [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 15:37, 9 August 2018 (EDT)

== Tip ==

Hey, just a friendly tip. If you want to have your userpage track the number of your edits, you can tag it with  <code><nowiki>{{Special:editcount/MarioManiac1981}}</nowiki></code>, which will turn into the number of your edits (i. e. {{Special:editcount/MarioManiac1981}}). {{User:YoshiEgg1990/sig}} 20:26, 16 August 2018 (EDT)

== Interwiki links ==

In the future, please check any that any interwiki links you [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Toon_Link&diff=2499562&oldid=2477414 add] work before leaving them. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:47, 4 September 2018 (EDT)

== Poltergust G-00 ==

While the [[Poltergust G-00]] looks good so far, I don't recall the name from anywhere. I probably missed a trailer of some kind. Where you got the name from should be used as a reference. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:28, 30 November 2018 (EST)

:To be honest, I haven't found a source, so far. I've first heard "Poltergust G-00" in the [[Luigi's Mansion 3|''Luigi's Mansion 3'' article]], where [[User:Luigi1234|Luigi1234]] edited the first bullet point to say that, the "Poltergust G-00 does blah, blah, blah..." I've also come across the term on SmashWiki, where it is used as a redirect for Poltergust 5000; in one of the sentences, SmashWiki describes the Poltergust G-00 as being a renaming of Poltergust 5000, making me wonder if the Super Mario Wiki has already adopted the term. This Luigi1234 is who this issue should really be brought up with, because he says that, "they (possibly referring to Nintendo) revealed the name when Luigi's Final Smash was revealed." - [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 30, November 2018, EDT
::Well, if you weren't able to verify it, I don't know why you made the article. However, according to SmashWiki, the name is used in game. Working on getting a source, so I'll add it in when I can. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:28, 30 November 2018 (EST)

==Pseudo strategy guide padding==
Hello, thanks for your [https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Contributions/MarioManiac1981 recent contributions], however as seen [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Meta_Knight&curid=12742&diff=2574349&oldid=2574348 here] with the phrase ''(...)lastly, Meta Knight's recovery is slightly better, although his dash attack and down throw lose their combo ability.'' specifically with ''although his dash attack and down throw lose their combo ability'' is acting like a strategy guide and should be avoided,  as stating that Meta Knight's recovery is better is fine, as it is stating the proper factual information, however stating that ''his dash attack and down throw lose their combo ability'' is reading like a strategy guide and could be considered subjective, as you may not even consider Meta Knight having a combo ability, you may think that he has a better combo game, etc. (and your edit did not describe why his combo ability is lost.) [[MarioWiki:Good writing]] is a good place to look for what should and should not be included in an article. Thanks for your understanding. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:23, 31 December 2018 (EST)

:It's not strategic writing, he's listing the actual nerfs and buffs made for the characters in the game. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:32, 1 January 2019 (EST)

== Sockpuppet/vandal talk pages ==

Thanks for finding certain talk pages that really shouldn't be there! Though if they are connected to a vandal or sockpuppet, they can really just be marked for deletion unless there's something important to keep. Also, no need to say what they did in the edit summary, just "Sockpuppet talk page" or something similar will do :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:48, 11 January 2019 (EST)

== New pages ==

Please remember to add categories and appropriate templates for new pages, like I did [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Ryan_Higgins&curid=271376&diff=2585026&oldid=2585022 here]. If you can't provide an image yourself, please also add the image template on top. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:58, 18 January 2019 (EST)

== Sprites ==

Really glad you liked my sprite sheet bro, I spent a lot of love making it <3 Same with my armored Baby Luigi character. Though looking like an anime character if you're going by design wasn't really what I was going for buuuut if you're talking about my Steam profile picture then yes I did took heavy inspiration from anime as that art style. So if it looks anime, glad to hear that! {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 00:32, March 15, 2019 (EDT)

==I have a wiki!==

Hey, guys! I have my own wiki dedicated to the game ''{{wp|Brawl Stars}}''; if any of you play ''Brawl Stars'', please join my wiki. It can be found by typing "https://www.brawlers.fandom.com". [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 22:09, May 28, 2019 (EST)

== Dr. Peach ==

{{new stub-reason}}
An infobox isn't enough to keep it up. The page should be created once enough information has been gathered, not two sentences worth of info. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:31, June 19, 2019 (EDT)

== Help ==

Hi. I'm a newer member and I don't have a computer. I use a tablet for editing the wiki. Because I don't have a computer, I can't read links on websites unless someone on the wiki sends me one. So, sometimes I need help getting obscure Mario stuff off the ground and adding it to the wiki. And since you are an avid Mario fan like me, I'd imagine you'd be all for tracking down this stuff. Right now, I'm looking for someone that can find a couple of pictures on Google images that I have a bit of a difficult time describing and then turning those pictures into jpg or png files and sending them to me. I've been turned down a few times. I'm looking for the right people. I was hoping you'd be one of them. If you're interested, please reply to me on my talk page and I'll get back to you ASAP.

==Spamming==
Hello, regarding [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Lord_Falafel&curid=281935&diff=2719196&oldid=2719190 this edit], please don't post spammy comments that do not pertain to the conversation, or spammy comments at all. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:59, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

== Proposals ==

Please stop trying to get changes you want made by forcing unnecessary proposals, it's starting to look like a bad habit. There are many other steps you can take to jump start a discussion or otherwise have your opinion heard. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 19:59, July 22, 2019 (EDT)

== Construction ==

The construction template in your [[User:MarioManiac1981#Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe_fan_ideas|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fan ideas]] needs to be removed or replaced with the raw coding without the category. These templates are not meant to be transcluded onto userpages, as the userpage will end up in mainspace categories. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:16, July 31, 2019 (EDT)
:Fixed it! [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 11:44, July 31, 2019 (EST)

== Dark Samus and Dark Pit ==

It's not ironic Dark Pit was chosen to be playable before Dark Samus despite which order the heroic counterparts came in. It's just the order they were chosen in, the order their counterparts entered doesn't mean anything. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:18, December 2, 2019 (EST)
:I so sad. 😭 But OK. I get what you mean. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 18:26, December 2, 2019 (EST)
:It's not that interesting or noteworthy, yeah. It doesn't really mean anything, just stating the order of appearances went Samus -> Pit -> Dark Pit -> Dark Samus, which can be easily determined by playing the games or reading the game articles. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:26, December 2, 2019 (EST)

== RE: Babel ==

You need to actually create the category. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:31, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

== Friends ==

Do you want to exchange userboxes? [[User:DarkNight|DarkNight]] ([[User talk:DarkNight|talk]]) 4:00, July 10, 2020 (EDT)
:Sure thing! Already added yours. [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] ([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]) 5:18, July 10, 2020 (EDT)

== A quick note ==

{{new stub-reason|[[List of Paper Mario: The Origami King quotes]]}}

If you're going to work on this list, you might as well do it in a [[Special:MyPage/sandbox|sandbox]] before publishing it. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 17:40, July 20, 2020 (EDT)
