Please make sure you format new additions to an infobox properly. It shouldn't be plain text outside of it (like "Variant of Shy Guy"), it should be in a parameter ([[Template:Species infobox|listed here]]) inside the infobox's curly brackets, e.g. <code>|variant_of=Shy Guy</code>. You can look at other articles to see how it's done. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:40, July 17, 2024 (EDT) |

Italics
Hello! Thanks for your contributions. When writing titles for media like games, films, TV shows, and publications, please remember to italicize them. This is done by placing two straight apostrophes (not quotation marks or curly apostrophes) on both sides of the title, or clicking on the I icon above the text box and typing out the title. For example, typing out ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generates Super Mario Bros.
If you are using a device that uses curly ("smart") punctuation, you may need to disable this function in your device's settings to be able to type out the correct apostrophes. |

Previewing
Hello. When editing, if you'd like to see how your edits affect a page, use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save changes" button. This allows you to check over your edits for any errors and make any additional changes or fixes before you save, which will prevent edits from flooding the page history and recent changes. (If you are on mobile, make sure to check the preview page thoroughly before proceeding to save.) Please try to avoid making excessive, consecutive edits to a single page within a short timespan and instead limit them to as few as possible. |
