Apologies on that, I wasn't sure if major objects or names of brands should be italicized once, multiple times or none at all. I also realize I may have bloated the section by including individual enemy names and fairly trivial things like background objects, I'll be more concise on that end in future.

Super Nintendo World area music
One or more pages that you have recently created have been deleted or marked as a stub article (List of Super Nintendo World Area Music). Please consider the following ideas and suggestions when expanding/creating an article:
|
Your article was lacking information and clearly incomplete. It doesn't have to be complete now, but make sure you have a good amount of information (and that it displays it properly; you left one of the table rows incorrectly displayed) before creating the article (i.e. much more than just one song). If you ever need help for anything with your article, check Help:Contents or ask around. I'd suggest making a sandbox or draft page (User:Tylerz642005/sandbox) to work on the article and experiment with the wiki markup before copying it over to an actual public article once it's ready. Also, any words in the article title or section headers that aren't proper nouns or the first word of the title should not be capitalised, so "area music" and "park locations" should be lowercase.
Finally, you've been making a lot of talk posts but haven't signed them. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end so people know who wrote them.

Italics
Hello, Tylerz642005! 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. |

Please read the section linked in the first link of this reminder for what needs to be italicised and what isn't. Song titles, sponsor names, location names (including theme park attractions), and names for subjects like characters, items, and courses are not italicised.
Also, when you do italicise series names, the "(series)" part is not part of the name and shouldn't be italicised, like so:
''Mario Kart'' series ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series

Identifiers
Again, please make sure you're properly piping links that have identifiers (titles with parentheses at the end that specify what the subject is) as I explained above. So Super Hammer (Super Mario Maker 2) for example should be formatted as Super Hammer (more examples below).
[[Ground BGM (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground BGM]] [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] [[Super Hammer (Super Mario Maker 2)|Super Hammer]] ''[[Super Mario Maker (disambiguation)|Super Mario Maker]]''
A shortcut for this would be to just add a vertical bar before the closing square brackets, which gives the same result:
[[Super Hammer (Super Mario Maker 2)|]]
You're also italicising terms that don't need to be italicised, like "1-Up Mushroom", "NES" and the LEGO set names. Generally if the rest of the article or other articles don't format a name this way, you don't need to do it too. Mario JC 20:14, November 11, 2024 (EST)
