Proper nouns

When naming proper nouns (names of characters, enemies etc.), please remember to capitalise them, so "boo" or "bowser" must be written as "Boo" or "Bowser." Thanks and keep contributing. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:41, 13 October 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, avoid writing in second-person (using the word "you") on articles; we write in third-person, so we use "the player" or the character's name instead. Try to also avoid run-on sentences as well (using a comma to separate two independent clauses), so in this case as an example, "Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms, you can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts." should be written as, "Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms. The player can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts." Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 19:07, 14 October 2018 (EDT)

Please stop not capitalising proper nouns 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.

Please remember to capitalise names as I've explained above (like "King Boo"); writing all words in lowercase is not proper grammar. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 19:03, 17 November 2018 (EST)

Italics

One other thing: please keep in mind that game titles must be formatted in italics. So for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, it's written as Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The formatting is simple: two apostrophes before and after the name: ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:53, 30 November 2018 (EST)

Please keep the above in mind. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:56, 27 December 2018 (EST)

Run-on sentences

Once again, please avoid run-on sentences as I explained above like you did in this bullet point. This was all one sentence, with only commas used to separate different pieces of information, which is improper grammar. In cases like these, you need to start new sentences and use periods / full stops to separate independent clauses. I recommend reading through the Wikipedia page I linked to you above.

Warning

Warning.svg This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (not capitalising proper nouns) 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.

As you're familiar with the Mario series, you should know that names for most characters, games, consoles etc. need to be capitalised, especially after you were reminded twice. There's some improvement in your sentence structure, but please remember this rule as well; it's not difficult, and while I shouldn't need to mention bad grammar again, forgoing this for links can lead to broken links. If you don't know, you can always check the rest of the article, other articles, or through the search function. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:59, 20 December 2018 (EST)

Basically if it's a name for something, its first letter is a capital letter, like "Mario", "Nintendo" or an enemy like "Ukiki". So a common light "switch" isn't capitalised, but the console "Switch" is. Don't take it as a discouragement; I'm just trying to help you improve.

Images

Hello, MarioGamerFan24. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded syntax is shown below.

{{aboutfile
|1=Subject of the image
|2=Where you found the image
|3=Artist
|4=Describe edits, if any
|5=Other versions (use file link)
}}

Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line for the parameter(s) you don't use. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, MarioGamerFan24. 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.

Hello, thanks for your uploads, however, you need to categorize your uploads, for example an Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island image would need the code: [[Category:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Images]]. Also, you need to use the {{aboutfile}} to describe the subject of the image, your source of the image, etc when uploading, and finally, you need to remember to apply a licence to the uploaded image when uploading.

Brawl Attacks

Could you provide a reference for the new name for Bowser's Special Attacks if it's true? So far the remake has only been released in Japan. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:46, 3 January 2019 (EST)

Unrelated, but for the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey headers you're doing, please use a forward slash / instead of a vertical bar |. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:51, 3 January 2019 (EST)

I have made a video about it, showcasing the name change: https://youtu.be/Yj5ivwl6AO8 MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 03:53, 5 January 2019 (EST)

On that note: this was from the manual like I mentioned the other day, but haven't been more specific with evidence. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 03:57, 5 January 2019 (EST)

You're still using the vertical bar to separate the original and remake's titles for section headers. We use the forward slash, not a vertical bar. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:23, 16 January 2019 (EST)

It was somewhat hard to figure out which one to use, but very well. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 22:05, 16 January 2019 (EST)
