A couple things:
*Use the [[:Template:italic title|italic title]] template to add italics to the title of an article, [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Snake_(Luigi%27s_Mansion_3)&diff=2837935&oldid=2837932 like so].
*Add the [[:Template:conjecture|conjecture]] template to articles for subjects that have no known official name, such as [[Possessed Bin]], [[Possessed Chest]], or [[Snake (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Snake (''Luigi's Mansion 3'')]].
*When linking to subject that aren't proper nouns, such as [[treasure chest]], do not capitalize the first letter.

Writing

Hello. A few things when editing:

  • Writing in second-person (using the word "you") must be avoided. Instead, we use "the player" or the character's name (e.g. "The player receives an ability that helps them.")
  • You're confusing "it's" with "its": "it's" is the contracted form for "it is", while "its" is the possessive pronoun (e.g. "Its first appearance...")

Thanks for the tips PFVID (talk) 19:08, July 10, 2019 (EDT)

In addition, keep in mind that game titles should be italicised (so Luigi's Mansion 3 becomes Luigi's Mansion 3; see MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles). You do this by clicking the I icon above the text box and typing the name in. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC 06:41, December 12, 2019 (EST)

You don't need to italicise like [[Luigi's Mansion|''Luigi's Mansion'']]. The difference between this and [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'']] (which I assume you were following the format of) is that the text that follows the vertical bar | changes the link to display that text (i.e. the page is Donkey Kong (franchise) but the link shows "Donkey Kong"; this is called piping). Since the name of the link is the same as the name of the page you're linking to, simply typing ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' is much easier. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker.

Page creation

Hi, thanks for following the advice Mario jc gave you above. Keep in mind that every new article needs a navtemplate (if it exists) as well as at least one category. Also, when adding infoboxes to pages, make sure the parameters match up with the infobox's coding. I already fixed the listed issues for you, though be sure to keep that in mind for future reference.

Category

Category:Luigi's Mansion Items is for the first game, so it doesn't apply to Luigi's Mansion 3. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC 05:35, December 25, 2019 (EST)

Luigi's Mansion/Featured articles

Hello there. I heard you are working hard to get the Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3 articles featured. I am also trying to get this accomplished. Would you like to create some more articles for rooms in The Last Resort in LM3? I've been doing it for a while but I sort of lost interest with Super Mario Maker 2. I don't know if this is something you'd be interested in. I saw you were able to create Elevator Hall and Entrance Hall. Lady Bow from Paper Mario.
