Writing guidelines

I think you need to know a few things about how articles are supposed to be written. First of all, we don't say "you" when referring to the player, either we say the playable character's name or "the player" depending on the context. Don't put subjective things in articles, such as stating which bosses are easiest or areas are biggest. You don't need to put "Note:" when stating something, either just start a new sentence or paragraph. Lastly, game titles must be italicised, which is done by putting two apostrophes on each side (not quotation marks) e.g. ''Paper Mario: The Origami King''. You should see MarioWiki:Manual of Style and MarioWiki:Good Writing for more regarding our guidlines. Thanks for reading.

Images and linking

When putting images in articles, all you need to do is code it like this: [[File:PMTOK Bobby.png]]. This will cause the image to display rather than just showing the link. The same goes with article links, you can link them like: [[Bowser]]. I know you only did this on your userpage, but I just thought I would show you how this is done properly, even to make your userpage look how you intend it to be.

Thank you. I was about to ask someone how they do that. User:Dreamy Bowser/sig (Your Probably Already Know It's Me Since This Is My Page.) And, how do you make a user box tower? (I joined 1 or 2 years ago so i have no idea how.)

I'm not sure how to do a userbox. I noticed that a lot of images in your userpage are way too big, you can reduce their sizes with [[File:PMTOK Bobby.png|100px]] (the "px" part determines how big the image is). And you can easily sign your comments with ~~~~Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:35, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Show preview

If you want to see how your edits look before saving the page, use "Show preview". You can continue editing until you are ready to save the page. Doing this prevents repeated edits to the same page, flooding the Recent Changes and page's history. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:08, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Also, pages like Clone Jump are too short to be an article. Please look at other similar pages for proper article building, and also take a look at our help guides. The article will be deleted, as we don't accept stub articles, but you are free to recreate it once you have more information. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:11, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Alright, but why would they say "See Clone Jump" on Double Cherry, if it doesn't exist? User:Dreamy Bowser/sig And, how do you make a user box tower? (I joined 1 or 2 years ago so i have no idea how.)

It's requesting the page be made, but if you don't have enough information to make the page, you should hold off until you do. As for the userbox tower, instructions are here. Also, sign your comments with four ~, how you are doing it now is causing your entire userpage to be displayed here on your talk page. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:27, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Thanks for telling me. User:Dreamy Bowser

Hey, How do you change your username? User:Dreamy Bowser

You can request your name to be changed here. An admin will then eventually change your username. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Not to be inpatient, but it's been hours and i don't know if it was approved or not. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 15:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)User:Dreamy Bowser

You are still editing your userpage extensively after the past couple of hours. Please use show preview to check your edits so you can save everything at once. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Yeah, try not to make too many edits to your userpage at once, you should really be editing mainspace articles a lot more often. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 20:24, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Alright, but how do you make a user box? this is what im talking about, just an example, but User:Fawfulthegreat64 Has a user box. (Or whatever it's called.)) Dreamy Bowser (talk) 21:20, March 10, 2021 (EST)User:Dreamy Bowser

Nevermind, it's called a info box. How do i make one? Dreamy Bowser (talk) 13:11, March 11, 2021 (EST)

You can take a look at infoboxes on other user pages or copy the coding from one of the wiki infoboxes. But also

Dear Bowser64,

It has come to our attention that you are currently in violation of the userspace policy. Please review the policy and abide by it, or else a warning will be issued. Thank you for your cooperation.

You are not following what we've been telling you, and you been editing your userpage extensively. Mix in some other main article edits as well, and use Show preview to check your work without having to save rapidly. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:22, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Alright, I'll Stop Editing For A While. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 17:23, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Warning

Warning.svg This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (continuing to edit your userpage without focusing on the wiki) 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.

Despite the above, you continue to edit your userpage with very little focus on the main wiki itself. The only article you've edited since your userpage creation is Double Mario, and we need to see more of that. While I'm glad you want us to get to know you better, the Super Mario Wiki is not a profile site. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 11:20, March 23, 2021 (EDT)
