Grammar

Regarding your edits, while some things need grammar to be fixed, please do not change "can only" to "only can," as well as certain similar occurrences, as in varying situations these can have completely different meanings. Also, you should not remove the Oxford Comma (ie, the comma before an and or an or on lists of more than two items), as its presence is grammatically correct by American English standards, which is what this site has used for a number of years now.

Please stop repeating the above 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.

Changing the use of the word "only" is completely unnecessary. "he can only punch and destroy bricks if he eats a Super Mushroom" means the same thing as "he can punch and destroy bricks only if he eats a Super Mushroom", for example. As for the example you posted on Doc's page, the sentences mean the same thing.
Also, "they" or "the player" should be used instead of "he or she" usages. 12:46, 7 November 2018 (EST)

For instance, here you changed a sentence that said one thing into saying a completely different thing that it wasn't intended to say, and is in fact wrong. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:26, 7 November 2018 (EST)
