A few things

Hi, just a few things you should be aware of:

• First, please read up on the wiki's trivia policy before adding any more trivia to articles, as we generally have restrictions for what kinds of trivia go into articles.
• Second, no "you"s; just use "the player" or the name of the character being referred to. Thanks! ^(T|C) 15:52, December 1, 2019 (EST)

Thank you

Thank you for informing me on the trivia policy. I just went to read it. I wasn't sure of the best way to include the info. Also, I didn't mean use the word you, I guess I used it by instinct after typing an essay that used the word a lot. I'm just glad my info was useful in the end. - SuperGarfieldWorld (talk) 16:00, December 1, 2019 (EST)

A few more things:

• Most of what you added to Mario Kart Tour are not references. See MarioWiki:References#References to other games and references in later games.
• Keep in mind that game titles, like Mario Kart 7, must be italicised, like Mario Kart 7 (see MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles; the rest of the page might be useful, too). Mario JC 22:25, December 3, 2019 (EST)

Please recall what I said here about italics for game titles. You should type Mario Kart Tour with double apostrophes ''Mario Kart Tour'' (or ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' with a link). Mario JC 20:13, February 1, 2020 (EST)

I understand now, after reading the guidelines, why you say that about the 'references' I added. I guess I should go read all of the guidelines and policies so I don't make this kind of mistake again. SuperGarfieldWorld (talk) 21:20, December 7, 2019 (EST)

Signing and User page

Please read MarioWiki:Signatures as well. If you wish to sign with a custom signature, you need a custom signature page (User:SuperGarfieldWorld/sig), which the signature code goes into (suggestion below; you're free to customise as you like as long as it follows the signature guidelines). Your signature also needs a link to your userpage.

(Little Garfield ([[User:SuperGarfieldWorld|SuperGarfieldWorld]]) [[File:Yoshis!.gif|50px]]

Then simply go to your preferences and type {{User:SuperGarfieldWorld/sig}} in the "Signature" text field and tick the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" checkbox. Mario JC 05:53, December 8, 2019 (EST)

As well, you don't need to create an entirely new section to respond to a message – simply respond under the section the message is in. TheDarkStar 11:04, December 8, 2019 (EST)

I apparently don't have a user page, by looking up at my name. Can I just create one, and if so, what should be on it? --SuperGarfieldWorld (talk) 10:28, March 16, 2020 (EST)

You can, and whatever you want as long as it follows MarioWiki:Userspace.

You need to create the signature page I mentioned above if you want to continue using a custom signature. Otherwise it will be stripped down to a basic signature. Mario JC 20:51, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

I created a signature page, and will work on a user page later today or tomorrow ((Little Garfield) (talk) 11:33, March 17, 2020 (EST)

Sorry, I should have noticed and mentioned this before but your signature is too long. It should be able to fit in the box below:

((Little Garfield) (talk)

Mario JC 20:16, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Fixed the width. Before I move on, is just Little Garfield fine, or is my official username required? ((Little Garfield) (talk) 13:01, March 18, 2020 (EST)

It's fine as long as it links to your userpage. Mario JC 20:44, March 18, 2020 (EDT)

Music files

Audio files must be uploaded as .oga and not .mp3, and they should be cut down to 30 seconds or less in length (see Help:Media). Also, when uploading any file at all, remember to categorise it. The {{uncategorized}} part in the summary when you upload should be replaced with a link to one of the categories in Category:Images by game or Category:Media by game. So for a Mario Kart Tour audio file, you'd find "Mario Kart Tour Media Files" under "Media by game", so you replaced {{uncategorized}} with [[Category:Mario Kart Tour Media Files]] If possible, a better source than "from an associate" would be preferable.

And please review what I explained above regarding italics for game titles. Mario JC 20:12, March 25, 2020 (EDT)
