Hello. Regarding your recent edits, please remember to use correct grammar on articles next time. For this one in particular, avoid using imperative language and "strategy guide"-style writing as if you're talking to the reader (e.g. "Be careful...", "Make sure to...") - as this is an encyclopedia, article content should be kept at an informative tone; and also avoid using the word "you" - on articles, we use the term "the player", or the character's name, instead. Please also remember to not leave untidy or unfinished edits like that.

Finally, do you have a source for the name "Cappy Capture"? Every mention of the move in the game has always simply been "Capture." Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 11:07, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay, I'm new to this so thank you, as for Cappy Capture, That's what I thought the game said... My avatar Do The Mario (Talk)


In regards to the amiibo section of the Dr. Mario page, that's the information given on the Dr. Mario amiibo on Nintendo's amiibo site (which is simply just a repeat of the Super Smash Bros. trophy): https://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/detail/dr-mario-amiibo-super-smash-bros-series Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:42, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

Understood,could you tell me how to sign right for this thing? User:Do The Mario

You sign your comments using three or four tildes (~~~~), which will automatically display your username and links to your userpage/talk page, and a time stamp if you use four. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:50, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

Thank you Do The Mario (talk) 13:01, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

(Yeah, that comment can be removed) Special:RecentChanges shows viewers the most recent changes made to the wiki, including talk pages. I didn't get notified, rather I just checked your revision. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:02, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

okay, I thought it was Mario-related so... Do The Mario (talk) 14:29, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

It is and it isn't. It's a group of Mario-based fan games, which shouldn't be advertised. However, if it's something you work on yourself, you can link to it once you're able to make your own userpage, like what I do. But otherwise, it counts as spam and shouldn't be linked to. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:32, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

once again understood, I so wish I could create ir right now, Do The Mario (talk) 14:37, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

I’m auto-confirmed Yay! How do I add my avatar? Do The Mario (talk) 12:43, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

You upload it just like any other image, mark it with {{personal-image|Do The Mario}}, and then put it on your page. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:51, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

like this? --personal-image-Do_The_Mario--.jpeg Do The Marii (talk) 13:01, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Special:Upload Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:05, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay, I put it on my page, now what? Do The Mario (talk) 13:12, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

That's it, dude. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:13, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Well it’s not working... Do The Mario (talk) 13:17, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

The image is displaying, what are you trying to do with it? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:21, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Do what you did, have Alex95 as an image in the name, Do The Mario (talk) 13:22, 11 June 2018 (EDT) Only with 5e image on my home page not yours,

Oh, you mean for your signature. You would first have to create User:Do The Mario/sig and place the image there. Because your image doesn't have your name in it, this would be a good mock-up:

[[File:Personal Image.png|35px]] [[User:Do The Mario|Do The Mario]] ([[User talk:Do The Mario|Talk]])

The image is resized there to fit the signature image requirements. More details on how to create a signature is at MarioWiki:Signatures and Help:Signature, and information on personal images can be found at MarioWiki:Personal images. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:27, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Not sure if it’s working yet... Do The Mario (talk) 13:35, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Copy and paste the code I gave you exactly, as the image in your signature is too large. Once that's done, go to your preferences and under the User profile tab, in the "Signature" section, put {{subst:nosubst|User:Do The Mario/sig}} in the "New signature" text box, then check the box beneath it. After saving, now whenever you type three or four tildes (~~~~), the signature will be displayed next to your comment. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:41, 11 2018

it worked above at least {{subst:nosubst|User:Do The Mario/sig}} (talk) 20:11, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Go to Special:Preferences and under the "User profile" tab, in the "Signature" section, put {{subst:nosubst|User:Do The Mario/sig}} in the "New signature" text box, then check the box beneath it. After saving, now whenever you type three or four tildes (~~~~), the signature will be displayed next to your comment. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:12, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Do you not see what happened to my username? It now says {{subst:nosubst|User:Do The Mario/sig}} (talk) {{subst:nosubst|User:Do The Mario/sig}} (talk)June 11 2018

Did you check the box? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:15, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Come again? {{subst:nosubst|User:Do The Mario/sig}} (talk) 20:19, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

The check box under the New signature text box, does it have a check mark in it? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:20, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

No, that was my problem, thanks! My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 20:38, 11 June 2018 (EDT) I can’t believe it worked, thanks! My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 20:38, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

RE: Blocked

I don't recall ever blocking you, nor are there any records in your block log. Are you sure you're looking at the right page, and can you direct me to where you found this information? Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 11:41, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

yes just give me a minute to find it again Do The Mario (talk) 11:46, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

here you are:[1]finding this crushed me Do The Mario (talk) 11:49, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

Is it possible you were just typing in all-caps while looking up your creation date? Unless you've created another account before, that user appears to be a different account altogether just with a similar name as you. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 12:08, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

possible I guess but I typed in D not DO THE MARIO Do The Mario (talk) 12:10, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

Well again, unless you remember creating a previous account back in July last year, this specific account is a completely different user, not you. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 02:46, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

I didn’t even find this until the creation date of this account, BTW how do you post images? Do The Mario (talk) 02:51, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Special:Upload. It's also the link titled "Upload file" under "tools" on the left navigation pane. Help:Image and Help:Gallery are guides on how to add them on pages among text or in a gallery, respectively. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 02:55, 11 June 2018 (EDT)
Thank you, Do The Mario (talk) 03:08, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Linking

When linking to a page, please remember to use the correct, exact title (e.g. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', not simply ''[[Smash bros. brawl]]'', as that creates a dead link). You can check the title using the search function. Help:Contents also has a lot of guides on editing if you ever need them.

It also helps to add the image in the correct order (in this case, chronologically) as with the rest of the images in the gallery. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 04:13, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Yes Sir, Do The Mario (talk) 04:15, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

Gallery:Trophies page

Bringing to your attention that there is already a list of trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl called List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. There is also a List of trophies page for the other games. With that, I don't see a real reason to keep your new gallery page, as it just repeats information we already have. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 01:27, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

I was making this a page with all the trophies pictures, instead of a chart with explanations for a certain category, if you wish I will halt, but I have been working straight for a while, and thought this was a good idea, I’ve also been wanting to make an actual page for this and his was the on,y thing I could think of My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 01:31, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Having both a list and a gallery seems excessive. The list can go into more detail than a gallery can, and it does the same thing. The first three images are also in Gallery:Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Considering we're also trying to lessen our Smash coverage, the page may end up getting deleted soon unless there is a real reason to keep it. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 01:35, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay I’ll get rid of it My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 01:37, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Well given there is trophies in three other games, I'd say it has good use. And why lessen Smash coverage when Smashwiki wastes memory giving articles to random clouds? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:40, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay, who do I listen to? And how did Doc find this? My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 01:44, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

The recent changes thing on the left. What you should do is maybe bring up a conversation about it with more than two people. Some people here want to lessen the Smash content on here due to Smashwiki's existence, while others like me want it to stay due to Smashwiki having in-depth articles over pointless fancruft and being specifically made for specific parts of the competitive community and not a more general-populace-friendly look like ours is. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:46, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

That’s a good idea, how do I raise that kind of a conversation? My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 01:47, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

You'll notice a tab marked "discussion" in the upper left corner of the gallery's page. That's where you'd start. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:48, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
Done ✅ !  My avatar Do The Mario (Talk)  01:58, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Writing

Please recall what I said at the top regarding use of proper grammar. I also highly suggest reading through the Manual of Style, which details how articles should be properly written, including italicising game titles (''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', not [[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]) and writing in third-person (using "Mario" or "the player" instead of the word "you", as I mentioned above). Please be aware that continuously making poorly written or rushed, untidy edits may lead to an official reminder. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:00, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Whoops,sorry I forgot My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 10:26, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

File reversion

There's no need to keep reverting a file if it's already what it needs to be. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:09, 13 June 2018 (EDT) I know but when I did it simply took your version and squashed it... My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 00:10, 13 June 2018 (EDT)

Refresh your browser by pressing ctrl and F5 at the same time, if you're able. THe image will reset. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:11, 13 June 2018 (EDT)

I did, multiple times, and I’m on mobile not a computer My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 00:12, 13 June 2018 (EDT) And it worked once you took care of it, it was mine that did that My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 00:13, 13 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay, maybe exit out of your mobile app and come back. The image is what it needs to be, even if it doesn't show for you correctly at the moment. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:16, 13 June 2018 (EDT)

Like I said it’s working now, just wasn’t when I was reverting it, what I did was: Reverted it, saw squashed Mario Reverted it, saw squashed Mario Reverted it back to yours You fixed it My avatar Do The Mario (Talk) 00:20, 13 June 2018 (EDT)
