Try to be careful when placing italics in section headers. If you're missing the closing apostrophes like [[Special:Diff/3202095|here]], it causes most of the page to be italicised (this happens in desktop mode but in mobile mode you'll notice all of the sections are uncollapsed and their headers italicised). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:43, May 15, 2021 (EDT)

Some things

Hey welcome. Noticing you're having some mistakes with writing. I recommend you go over MarioWiki:Manual of Style, but here's some quick things:

  • Italics are used for media titles, such as game names. They are not used for subjects like Gold Mario.
  • Bolds are used for the first instance of a subject on the subject's page. For example, the first use of "Mario" on Mario's page.
  • "It's" means "it is", "its" is used possessively (English, yay).
  • Be sure to double check your writing for typos, the software will usually point out misspellings.

  • Thanks, but the "it's/its part is just a mistake.Giga Cat Weegee (talk) 18:53, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

Can you explain where or how you're getting this information? Both of these are false. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:07, April 27, 2021 (EDT) I

At 1:57, you can see SMB2 Mario take damage by getting a Super Mushroom.Giga Cat Weegee (talk) 18:53, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

That's Mario hitting the spikes below the Mushroom, taking damage and then picking the Mushroom up. This also has nothing to do with getting 1110 lives in NSMBW. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:28, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

Make sure you're also italicising media titles per MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles and as Alex mentioned above. For example, Super Mario Bros. 2 should be formatted as Super Mario Bros. 2. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:41, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

Don't abbreviate either. SMM should be written in full as Super Mario Maker, SMM2 as Super Mario Maker 2 etc. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC

Just be aware that you're still using "it's" in cases where you should be using "its" (e.g. "its remake"). Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:17, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

"Ressemble" is spelled "resemble" with one "s". Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:11, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

Couple more things

When adding the port's title to section headers, they should be formatted like this: ''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''. So in short, italics must still be placed before and after the slash. Also, don't use contractions in mainspace articles, words should be written in full e.g "do not" instead of "don't".

Checking edits

Please check over your edits before leaving them. A large edit like the one you made on Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury should have been something you'd look over first (especially on an article being improved upon for a FA nomination), and you should have noticed the images had their widths unspecified and were too big. Next time, use the "Show preview" button to see what your edits look like before saving them, and once you're satisfied with them, click "Save changes".

  • I did, but the device I used didn't show that they were that big. Sorry.Giga Cat Weegee (talk) 08:24, May 6, 2021 (EDT)
Ah right, I didn't see the mobile edit tags, apologies. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 09:16, May 6, 2021 (EDT)

Adding items to tables

Hello there. Thanks for adding extra items to the Bowser's Fury main page, but I wanted to let you know that those tables for enemies and objects are typically in alphabetical order, even if related objects like Jump Panels and Red Jump Panels aren't grouped together. Keep that in mind the next time you edit them. 0blivion (talk) 10:53, May 12, 2021 (EDT)

Multiple and minor edits

My watchlist page has many edits you've made in a small span of time. I know that you can't typically add everything you want to add to a page in one edit, but I think it would be helpful to plan what parts you're going to add all at once, to lessen the number of times a page is edited in one session. You can use the Show preview button below the edit box to see the article change without actually editing it yet. I use it frequently to make sure that my edits look correct, and that I'm not missing something.

Sometimes I realize I need to fix something after I submit the edit. If you're making very small corrections, or edits that otherwise don't add to the content of the article, it would be good to mark them as minor edits, using the checkbox below the edit box. 0blivion (talk) 12:04, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

Trivia

I would suggest reading over MarioWiki:Trivia. Avoid adding information straight to trivia and see if you can incorporate it somewhere else in the article like the History sections first. Try to also avoid adding trivia that's already mentioned in the article and unnoteworthy tidbits in general (like listing similar traits between two forms).

Bowser's Fury images

I'm planning to open Bowser's Fury and take images for what I hope can be the last time. Currently, I'm taking pictures of a Cloud Lift, Fire Bar, and Spike Roller, as well as the title screen and menus for the main campaign. If there's anything else you're planning to add to the tables on the main page, or another image that would be good in general, please let me know. 0blivion (talk) 12:07, May 14, 2021 (EDT)

Game title headers

Try to be careful when placing italics in section headers. If you're missing the closing apostrophes like here, it causes most of the page to be italicised (this happens in desktop mode but in mobile mode you'll notice all of the sections are uncollapsed and their headers italicised).
