== Prezzy appearances ==

You're going too far with the microgame appearances. Yes, the Prezzies come from microgames, but that doesn't mean listing every single microgame that has that object in some form (like listing "Super Mario Land" for a generic mushroom). There are microgames that prominently feature these specific Prezzies in these specific designs - we should be listing those microgames only. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:27, September 19, 2021 (EDT)

== Show preview ==

If you're trying something out like a gallery and want to see what it looks like, preview it first by clicking on the "Show preview" button rather than saving the edit multiple times, otherwise it floods the recent changes and history pages. That way if it doesn't work, you can go back and fix it before publishing the edit. [[Help:Gallery]] explains how to make a gallery. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:31, September 19, 2021 (EDT)

== Trivia ==

Please double-check facts and in-game content before adding points [[Special:Diff/3467893|like]] [[Special:Diff/3468527|these]] next time. These points saying something is the second/third/etc. become less noteworthy the further they go anyway, so it'd be better to avoid adding such points altogether. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:35, September 24, 2021 (EDT)

Please stop [[Special:Diff/3477378|drawing]] [[Special:Diff/3478907|similarities]] for something that's too general or too common in media. The Caution: Slippery pose (someone sticking their hands and legs out) is not a unique pose at all, and the Web Surfer sound is only similar in that it's a "positive" chime with rising pitch, which many games use. This is the same case as the Wario Bug / Master Hand info. Comparisons would only be worth noting if it's specific and unique. If you're not sure how common something is, ask first whether it's worth noting on the article, or just don't note it altogether. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:02, October 7, 2021 (EDT)

[[Special:Diff/3540795|You're still]] [[Special:Diff/3540785|doing this]]. You don't need to always compare basic things to other, very specific and arbitrary things. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:50, January 18, 2022 (EST)

== "The" ==

Don't use the word "the" to refer to something that was never introduced. "The" is a determiner that should be used when you're referring to something specific that was already mentioned, and you use "a" when introducing new things. (For example, you don't use it for [[Special:Diff/3469908|"the rats"]] or [[Special:Diff/3469799|"the soccer ball"]], because we didn't know these existed beforehand, so it should be just "rats" and "'''a''' soccer ball". In a sentence like, "There is a ? Block ahead. '''The''' ? Block contains a coin," you'd use "the" because it's referring to a specific ? Block we knew about.) {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:22, September 26, 2021 (EDT)

== RE: Ramram (DK vs ARMS) ==

I'm aware of that, but I don't think it's worth mentioning on the RamRam page. The modes of Min Min's arms aren't really that significant in the scope of this wiki.

Also, "not to be confused with" text is placed above the main article text, not inside it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 13:06, September 27, 2021 (EDT)
:Distinguish notices are only used to distinguish Mario Wiki articles with similar titles, not for distingushing similar names for subjects from different franchises. As far as I'm aware, the ARMS Ramram is completely out of our coverage anyway. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 20:23, September 27, 2021 (EDT)

== RE: Mega bug hand crusher ==

There are a lot of [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GiantHandsOfDoom bosses with giant hands], many of them are bound to use this sort of attack ([[Tiki Tong]], [[Bouldergeist]], [[Knucklotec]], [[wikirby:Wham Bam Rock|Wham Bam Rock]] (Master Hand's inspiration) etc.) and it just doesn't seem necessary to compare it. It's also not entirely similar to the Fake-Out Slap; Master Hand's is literally what it says, a fakeout, whereas the Wario Bug's isn't. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:17, September 30, 2021 (EDT)

Do not alter other users' comments; that was the [[Special:Diff/3455554|second time]] you did that and it's [[MarioWiki:Courtesy#Censor|rude]] to just edit what someone else has said. You will be issued a warning if it happens again. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:36, September 30, 2021 (EDT)

== RE:IMO ==

It's short for "in my opinion". {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 20:01, October 2, 2021 (EDT)

== Vague writing ==

Please be more specific in your writing next time. For example, the Crygor's invention edit, and just saying [[Special:Diff/3474310|"the banner"]] or [[Special:Diff/3475358|"the sound clip"]] is not enough, and users may read this and not know what you mean or are referring to. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:41, October 2, 2021 (EDT)

== RE: Halloween Waluigi ==

He also clearly has fangs, it's less speculative to assume he's just wearing a regular old vampire costume until proven otherwise. Having a top hat doesn't instantly mean it's Jack the Ripper anyway. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 10:55, October 8, 2021 (EDT)

== RE: 9 Volt and Kat and Ana colors ==

That seems like an arbitrary combination of colours. The article is already going for the colour palettes of the Play-o-pedia backgrounds, which honestly looks better and more consistently coloured. Using two completely different colours just makes them look distracting. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:22, October 14, 2021 (EDT)

== Reminder ==

{{reminder|2=continuously adding unnecessary trivia/points and incorrect points without fact-checking first}}
This has happened several times already. [[#Trivia|As I mentioned before]], double-check the facts first, or if it's something like a trivia point, ask first whether it's noteworthy, or just focus edits on something other than factoids like these. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:37, October 20, 2021 (EDT)

== RE: Toad vs Toadette tour trailer background color ==

I don't play the game, so I wouldn't know. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:25, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

== RE:High End Pipe (Golden) ==

Sorry for the late reply. In my opinion, character variants have these traits:<br>
They are usually named like "Character (Variant)". In this case, "Birdo (Black)". They are basically the main character, but usually with a recolor or an outfit, they share their animations, usually have shared or recolored main character emblems and they probably won't have their own cup. Due to these traits, I consider Birdo (Black) a variant. {{User:WildWario/sig}} 08:36, December 5, 2021 (EST)

== RE:Only one R/T track for certain tours (excluding Berlin Byways 2) ==

This may be a bit too complicated for users to understand easily. Plus, this isn't that noteworthy, and I'm not sure why you want to exclude Berlin Byways 2. Also, the original Sydney Sprint's R/T variant also only appeared once during the first Sydney Tour. {{User:WildWario/sig}} 04:07, December 8, 2021 (EST)

== Missions ==

For consistency, you should follow the "Mission" format used on [[Tummy Trouble|other microgame pages]] when adding microgame missions. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:35, December 18, 2021 (EST)

== RE:2022 New Years Tour ==

It's speculation that the inclusion of [[Meowser]] as a driver is a reference to the tiger. Unless it is noted or implied by Nintendo themselves, this is just a coincidence. They probably just chose Meowser because of [[3DS Bowser's Castle]].  {{User:WildWario/sig}} 21:47, December 24, 2021 (EST)

-You're still occasionally using "a" to refer to things that have already been established. For example, [[Special:Diff/4062974|this]] should be "'''the''' wheelbarrow", because it's already been introduced in the paragraph and we're referring back to it. By saying "a", you're just referring to any random, non-specific wheelbarrow. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:35, November 24, 2023 (EST)
-Two more cases:
-*"[[Special:Diff/4063412|elves carry '''a''' cup of coffee / strawberry cake]]" - The reader already knows about the coffee and cake from earlier in the sentence, so you're referring ''back'' to it, so it should be "'''the'''".
-*"[[Super Wario Dance Company|with '''a''' purple dancer facing the other]]" - Same thing; we already know the purple dancer is the player, so this should also be "'''the'''". If you say "a", you're just referring to ''any'' non-particular purple dancer.
-Consider reading {{wp|Article_(grammar)#Types_of_article|this}} and looking up "definite/indefinite articles", and also looking over your past edits to see what was fixed. I'm trying to get you to get the hang of this so you know how to do this on your own, since you're doing a lot of writing in your edits. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:29, November 27, 2023 (EST)

-== Regarding Singapore Speedway BGM ==
-Hi Pierce Ng, I want to let you know that before your last edit on Singapore Speedway, I was removing the reference to Chinatown BGM (the one with Chinese instrument) in the trivia because I moved it to the music sample, and I'm sure the music change will be covered on Singapore Speedway 3 segment as well. Even though I'm also curious, on which capacity the BGM without synth and percussion is playable in the Chinatown segment...
