Welcome, XSmithSanx!

Hey, paisano! I'm YellowYoshi398 (talk), and I've left this message here on your talk page to walk you through the Super Mario Wiki.

Welcome to the Super Mario Wiki!, a collaborative knowledge-base dedicated to the Mario franchise, as well as sub-series such as the Yoshi series, Wario series, and Donkey Kong series.

Things you can do

Tips

  • Use good grammar and keep things formal – Although this rule largely does not apply to talk pages and user pages, we are a serious wiki that demands fairly good grammar and a lack of silliness. (It is exceptionally noteworthy to avoid use of the word "you" in articles, as it, too, is rather informal.) Disobeying this tip, however, is not that big of a deal, as other users can easily translate informal content to normal formalities.
  • Categorize articles – When creating an article, you should add it to one of our many categories. You can place in article into a category by writing that category's title in front of the word "Category:" all in hyperlink-like brackets; for instance, writing [[Category:Characters]] at the bottom of an article will add it to the characters category.
  • Italicize titles of games, game series, TV shows, and movies – Once again, this does not apply to user pages and talk pages, but it is only grammatically correct to italicize the titles of video games, video game series, television programs, and films. In the editing language of wikisyntax, italicization is done by surrounding words with two commas in editing sources; for instance, writing ''Super Mario Bros.'' while editing an article will make it appear as Super Mario Bros. in-article. You can also do the same thing with <i> and </i> marks; <i>Super Mario Bros.</i> appears in-article as Super Mario Bros.
  • Mark all images used in your user space as personal images – Here at the MarioWiki, we refer to images used only in user space as personal images. When uploading one of these personal images, please label it with {{personal-image|XSmithSanx}} (or {{personal-image-sig|XSmithSanx}}, if you intend on using the personal image in your signature) to assure it is recognized as a personal image. By the way, you are only allowed to upload four personal images, as well as a smaller fifth one for use in signatures.
  • Avoid uploading images you don't intend to use – New users will often upload images and never use them, usually to simply test out Special:Upload. Although testing is a perfectly fine thing to do, you should most of the time avoid uploading images that will not be used.

If you want to, you may remove or delete this welcome at any time; you're free to do what you wish with your user space. I hope you found my welcome helpful and that you thoroughly enjoy your time here; I'll see ya around.

If you need any more help or have any questions at all, you can feel perfectly free to talk to me at my talk page; I will respond as soon as possible at yours. I'll be glad to help out with anything, and once more, welcome!

Good luck for a good future here,
YellowYoshi398 (talk)
