Italics

Hello, Mariofan28047! 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, Mariofan28047. 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.

Capitalisation

Avoid capitalising words in headers that aren't proper nouns or the first word in the header (so "See Also" should be "See also"). Mario JC 07:52, January 18, 2024 (EST)

Same goes for "Enemies and Obstacles" and headers with "Series" or "Franchise" (which should be lowercase) in them.
On a similar note, please try to watch your capitalisation for certain object names. For example, "9-Volt" and "Special World" are proper nouns and should be capitalised and not written in lowercase (though I understand if these were typos), whereas "flower coin" is a lowercase name and should be written as such mid-sentence, not "Flower coin" (unless it's the first word of a sentence obviously).

Comparable parameter

The item infobox does not have a "comparable" parameter so nothing will be shown if you try and put that in articles. Nightwicked Bowser 12:21, January 24, 2024 (EST)

Article name notices

Instead of typing out the full text for notices like "This article is about..." and "(name) redirects here", we have templates for those found on Category:Notice templates which can be used (like this). Mario JC 07:12, January 26, 2024 (EST)

Major changes

Please do not make huge changes such as moving a page without discussing or proposing it first. The Warp Pipe discussion has barely gone anywhere (I was the only respondant and it wasn't even an agreement nor opposition). A move or split template on a page does not mean the action should immediately be done. Nightwicked Bowser 14:08, January 30, 2024 (EST)

Please stop moving pages without discussion on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing. If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (moving pages without discussing) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Template:Lastwarn Stop merging pages while a discussion is still open, especially when there's disagreements between both sides. Merge notices are not immediate requests to merge pages, they're simply suggestions; check and if necessary take part in discussions before going ahead with the action, please. Mario JC 01:07, February 25, 2024 (EST)

I'll lay this out very clearly: just because there's a move, merge, or split template on a page does not mean to go ahead and do it. It means there's a discussion for that which needs to be resolved. If the template says "a proposal has decided" to do it, then it can be done, but it's generally considered good form to let the proposer do it unless it's been left sitting for a long time.

Signing

Hello, Mariofan28047. Please remember to sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes at the end: ~~~~

Mario JC 21:00, January 30, 2024 (EST)

Your last couple talk page posts didn't have a signature at all. Nightwicked Bowser 14:35, February 13, 2024 (EST)

Reverting your own edits

Please stop making edits and reverting them immediately. In some cases, you've been reminded already about previewing, whereas this one was false information. A warning will be issued if this continues. Nightwicked Bowser 14:28, February 7, 2024 (EST)

Big Goombrat

"Big Goombrat" is not an official name, but "Kodeka Kakibō" is. Please do not move the subject's page to the unofficial title. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 12:13, February 9, 2024 (EST)

Ahem... The name of the Kodeka Kakibō's page was renamed to "Hefty Goombrat"! Mariofan28047 (talk) 15:12, February 15, 2024 (EST)

Image category

For the images of the worlds in Super Mario Bros. Wonder (e.g. File:SuperMarioBrosWonder-World1-Pipe-RockPlateau(In-GameMap).png), the category that should be in the pages is [[Category:Super Mario Bros. Wonder images]]. [[Category:Super Mario Bros. Wonder worlds]] is for the pages about the worlds only. - RHG1951 (talk) 19:21, February 16, 2024 (EST)

New articles

For future new articles, remember to add any relevant navigation templates and categories. Mario JC 02:08, February 18, 2024 (EST)
