Writing style

Hi, and welcome to the wiki! When writing on articles, please remember though that they should be kept in a professional and encyclopedic tone. That means avoiding language as if you're "talking" directly to the reader commonly found in strategy guides and walkthroughs, with phrases like "Don't be afraid to...", and emphasis with exclamation points. We also write in third-person, so please avoid using the word "you"; instead, use "the player". More information can be found here.

Suggestions for new pages

I'll take this into perspective for my next edit. Plus, I have got a suggestion for my next edit - I want to make an article listing all the quotes from Mario Party 10 (Since there is no page for that yet). I need to know how I can create that. 13:07, 2 June 2018 (AEST)

Great! Just search "List of Mario Party 10 quotes" and click on the red link (alternatively, click here). However, you need to be autoconfirmed before you can create articles (i.e. you must have an account for at least five days and made at least four edits, so you're just one edit away).

Hey, nice job so far! Keep in mind that game titles need to be in italics. It's easy - all you have to do is place two pairs of apostrophes in between the text you want italicized (ex: ''Mario Party 10''). Also, be sure to add a navigation template at the bottom from this list depending on the game (it would be {{MP10}} in this case), then add a category at the bottom as well (in this case, it would be Category:Mario Party 10). No other issues are present, so keep up the good work! Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 00:44, 2 June 2018 (EDT)

Hey Toadette The Achiever! Thank you for your edit before. You know, I think this should be a page for all of us to work on. 1:53 P.M, 3 June 2018

Thanks! And, er, exactly. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 00:00, 3 June 2018 (EDT)

References

Umm... I wanted to know how I can add new references to pages like Mario Tennis Aces. I found a website showing all playable Defensive and Powerful characters. How do I add that? 2:03 P.M, 3 June 2018

To do inline citations, just add <ref>...</ref> at the point in the article where you want the citation to show up, replacing the "..." with the actual source itself. Hope that helps! Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 00:09, 3 June 2018 (EDT)
Darn, got edit sniped :P More information can be found at MarioWiki:Citations, so give that a look. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:10, 3 June 2018 (EDT)
Oh, uh, what is the site? It looks like we already have all the available information. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:15, 3 June 2018 (EDT)

Image category reminder

Hello, Gameboy2345. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:

Images Audio/video files

When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use:

[[Category:Super Mario World images]]
or
[[Category:Super Mario World media files]]

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.
