== "You"s ==

Please [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_Bros._Special&diff=2041571&oldid=2027871 refrain] from using the word "you" next time. When editing in mainspace, we always write in third-person; that is, we use "player", or the character's name, instead. Thanks and keep contributing. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 02:51, 20 August 2016 (EDT)

:Just another thing: Every time we write a game title, we always use ''italics''. This is done by adding two apostrophes before and after the name (More info [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|here]]). {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 23:17, 20 August 2016 (EDT)

== Lina ==

I noticed when adding the [[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic#Story|''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' storyline section]], you wrote Lina as Imajin's girlfriend. Where did you find this out? At a glance, [http://www.backofthecerealbox.com/2013/12/doki-doki-panic-instruction-booklet.html the manual] doesn't seem to indicate one way or another as far as I can tell, but every online source I've found indicates the playable characters are a nuclear family, rather making Imajin and Lina siblings. If this is true, it's pretty obscure info! [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 17:55, 2 October 2016 (EDT)

:I found it in a Youtube video posted in July. Their true relation lies not in the manual nor any advertising for the game, but rather a very rare book that documented Yume Kojo '87 itself.

[[:File:MBSlvl4.gif]] was missing [[:Category:Mario Bros. Special Images]] and the {{tem|aboutfile}} wasn't filled out. You can remove it if you don't want to fill it out. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 21:12, 24 February 2017 (EST)

==Mario Bros. Special==
Do you have a sources that the game runs on Sharp MZ-1500, Sharp MZ-2000, Sharp MZ-2200, SMC-777, and Hitachi S1? If not, please do not add it back to the article.--{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 11:05, 26 February 2017 (EST)

:Apologies, I've added sources for the MZ computers. I wish I could add better proof for the others, but there's pretty much no information on these. I even saw a sight claiming that the version for the SMC-777 never made it past the prototype stage. The Hitachi S1 is an extreme rarity in itself, and I only saw a version for it mentioned once - a site selling games for all these various Japanese computers seemed to claim that such a thing existed. &ndash; [[User:Mariomaster86|Mariomaster86]] ([[User talk:Mariomaster86|talk]]) 3:50, 26 February 2017 (EST)
::Sorry we were giving you a hard time, but you got to remember: Any new information needs to be sourced, otherwise it will be credited as a rumor or speculation, and we can't have that. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:53, 26 February 2017 (EST)
:::Turns out, a version for the Hitachi S1 does exist, as well as a PC-9801 version which I heard about a long time ago but forgot about. Both have been added. It also turns out Punch Ball was released on another computer as well, which I also once heard to have Special. I'll look into it. Sources say that a version for the SMC-777 does exist, but I have yet to find any images or footage. &ndash; [[User:Mariomaster86|Mariomaster86]] ([[User talk:Mariomaster86|talk]]) 7:35, 26 February 2017 (EST)

== Warning ==

{{warning|2=adding false information or information without a source}}
You kept adding information about other systems the game could have been released on, but without a source, it should not be on the wiki. Your edit kept getting undone countless times, but this is the final straw. If this happens again, you could get a last warning or even blocked! &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 11:06, 26 February 2017 (EST)

== File info ==

When linking to an external image (i.e. one not on the wiki), you should include the link in one bracket on both sides. So <tt><nowiki>http://nintendoera.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/IMG_5208.jpg</nowiki></tt> should be <tt><nowiki>[http://nintendoera.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/IMG_5208.jpg]</nowiki></tt>, otherwise the entire image would show which may cause some loading issues.

And when categorizing images, you should use standard brackets instead of...whatever the curved ones are called. "{}" transcludes information, which isn't what you want. Instead, categorizing should look like <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Mario Bros. Special Images]]</nowiki></tt>. Good job finding those rare images, though! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:31, 22 June 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Sourcing information ==

To source information, you would put your source between two reference next to what it is you're sourcing tags like so:
<pre>
<ref>INSERT SOURCE HERE</ref>
</pre>
The reference will then appear at the bottom of the page in the references section, if one exists. If not, you would place this on the bottom:
<pre>
==References==
<references/>
</pre>
Any references added to the page will be automatically grouped in the references section.<ref>This is an example reference</ref>

===References===
<references/>

=== RE:Sourcing Information ==

What I meant is how should I prove the reliability of my messages from Bando?

We're not as strict on sources for this kind of obscure, hard-to-get information so linking to your posts on the forum should be enough. Also remember to sign your comments on wiki discussion space (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 13:41, 6 February 2018 (EST)

==RE:Image Upload Error==
<titleblacklist-custom-imagename> means that a phrase in the image file is unacceptable. What's the name of the file? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:32, 6 February 2018 (EST)

Thumb-31819-1.jpg It's from a site, so I don't know how I'd go about changing its name. --[[User:Mariomaster86|Mariomaster86]] ([[User talk:Mariomaster86|talk]])
:You can save the image to your computer and change it there. If you're replacing the same type of image, try giving it the same name. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:58, 6 February 2018 (EST)
