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 don't need to italicise like <code><nowiki>[[Luigi's Mansion|''Luigi's Mansion'']]</nowiki></code>. The difference between this and <code><nowiki>[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'']]</nowiki></code> (which I assume you were [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_level_themes&oldid=2819883 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 [[Help:Link#Appearances|piping]]). Since the name of the link is the same as the name of the page you're linking to, simply typing <code><nowiki>''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''</nowiki></code> is much easier. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:05, December 14, 2019 (EST) | |||

Hi, thanks for following the advice Mario jc gave you above.

Writing[edit]
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. Mario JC 04:21, July 10, 2019 (EDT)
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. 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. Mario JC 09:05, December 14, 2019 (EST)
A couple things:
- Use the italic title template to add italics to the title of an article, like so.
- Add the conjecture template to articles for subjects that have no known official name, such as Possessed Bin, Possessed Chest, or Snake (Luigi's Mansion 3).
- When linking to subject that aren't proper nouns, such as treasure chest, do not capitalize the first letter.
Page creation[edit]
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. Thanks! (T|C) 22:11, December 12, 2019 (EST)
Category[edit]
Category:Luigi's Mansion Items is for the first game, so it doesn't apply to Luigi's Mansion 3. Mario JC 05:35, December 25, 2019 (EST)
