Hi, thanks for following the advice Mario jc gave you above. Keep in mind that every new article needs a [[MarioWiki:Navigation templates|navtemplate]] (if it exists) as well as at least one [[MarioWiki:Categories|category]]. Also, when adding infoboxes to pages, make sure the parameters [[Template:Roombox|match up with the infobox's coding]]. I already <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Elevator_Hall_%28Paranormal_Productions%29&type=revision&diff=2825215&oldid=2825212 fixed the listed issues for you]</span>, though be sure to keep that in mind for future reference.

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...")

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.
