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...")

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)

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. Thanks! ^(T|C) 22:11, December 12, 2019 (EST)

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)
