Hello, Pierce Ng. 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:
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, images related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]]or one it its subcategories. Media files would use: [[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, Pierce Ng. 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. A description of the image subject (parameter |
Please do not leave the summaries unfilled. New uploads need to have the relevant details filled in and a category added as described above.

Hello, Pierce Ng. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. The following are the most common:
When uploading, select the license from the drop-down menu below the summary text box. Don't tag a file with multiple copyright templates; choose the one that best fits the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. |
You are still not categorizing the files correctly and you're not giving them licenses too. Or an aboutfile summary.

Since this is the first time I am editing the photo, how about something that I need to help such as licenses. Pierce Ng (talk) 19:37, September 18, 2021 (EDT)Pierce Ng
Prezzy appearances
You're going too far with the microgame appearances. Yes, the Prezzies come from microgames, but that doesn't mean listing every single microgame that has that object in some form (like listing "Super Mario Land" for a generic mushroom). There are microgames that prominently feature these specific Prezzies in these specific designs - we should be listing those microgames only. Mario JC 08:27, September 19, 2021 (EDT)
Show preview
If you're trying something out like a gallery and want to see what it looks like, preview it first by clicking on the "Show preview" button rather than saving the edit multiple times, otherwise it floods the recent changes and history pages. That way if it doesn't work, you can go back and fix it before publishing the edit. Help:Gallery explains how to make a gallery. Mario JC 22:31, September 19, 2021 (EDT)
Broken file links
Don't add links to files that don't exist until they've been uploaded. Mario JC 22:59, September 20, 2021 (EDT)
Trivia
Please double-check facts and in-game content before adding points like these next time. These points saying something is the second/third/etc. become less noteworthy the further they go anyway, so it'd be better to avoid adding such points altogether. Mario JC 09:35, September 24, 2021 (EDT)
Please stop drawing similarities for something that's too general or too common in media. The Caution: Slippery pose (someone sticking their hands and legs out) is not a unique pose at all, and the Web Surfer sound is only similar in that it's a "positive" chime with rising pitch, which many games use. This is the same case as the Wario Bug / Master Hand info. Comparisons would only be worth noting if it's specific and unique. If you're not sure how common something is, ask first whether it's worth noting on the article, or just don't note it altogether. Mario JC 06:02, October 7, 2021 (EDT)
"The"
Don't use the word "the" to refer to something that was never introduced. "The" is a determiner that should be used when you're referring to something specific that was already mentioned, and you use "a" when introducing new things. (For example, you don't use it for "the rats" or "the soccer ball", because we didn't know these existed beforehand, so it should be just "rats" and "a soccer ball". In a sentence like, "There is a ? Block ahead. The ? Block contains a coin," you'd use "the" because it's referring to a specific ? Block we knew about.) Mario JC 06:22, September 26, 2021 (EDT)
RE: Ramram (DK vs ARMS)
I'm aware of that, but I don't think it's worth mentioning on the RamRam page. The modes of Min Min's arms aren't really that significant in the scope of this wiki.
Also, "not to be confused with" text is placed above the main article text, not inside it. --

- Distinguish notices are only used to distinguish Mario Wiki articles with similar titles, not for distingushing similar names for subjects from different franchises. As far as I'm aware, the ARMS Ramram is completely out of our coverage anyway.

RE: Mega bug hand crusher
There are a lot of bosses with giant hands, many of them are bound to use this sort of attack (Tiki Tong, Bouldergeist, Knucklotec, Wham Bam Rock (Master Hand's inspiration) etc.) and it just doesn't seem necessary to compare it. It's also not entirely similar to the Fake-Out Slap; Master Hand's is literally what it says, a fakeout, whereas the Wario Bug's isn't. Mario JC 01:17, September 30, 2021 (EDT)
Do not alter other users' comments; that was the second time you did that and it's rude to just edit what someone else has said. You will be issued a warning if it happens again. Mario JC 08:36, September 30, 2021 (EDT)
RE:IMO
It's short for "in my opinion".

Vague writing
Please be more specific in your writing next time. For example, the Crygor's invention edit, and just saying "the banner" or "the sound clip" is not enough, and users may read this and not know what you mean or are referring to. Mario JC 21:41, October 2, 2021 (EDT)
RE: Halloween Waluigi
He also clearly has fangs, it's less speculative to assume he's just wearing a regular old vampire costume until proven otherwise. Having a top hat doesn't instantly mean it's Jack the Ripper anyway. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 10:55, October 8, 2021 (EDT)
RE: 9 Volt and Kat and Ana colors
That seems like an arbitrary combination of colours. The article is already going for the colour palettes of the Play-o-pedia backgrounds, which honestly looks better and more consistently coloured. Using two completely different colours just makes them look distracting. Mario JC 23:22, October 14, 2021 (EDT)
Reminder
| Please stop continuously adding unnecessary trivia/points and incorrect points without fact-checking first 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. |
This has happened several times already. As I mentioned before, double-check the facts first, or if it's something like a trivia point, ask first whether it's noteworthy, or just focus edits on something other than factoids like these. Mario JC 06:37, October 20, 2021 (EDT)
RE: Toad vs Toadette tour trailer background color
I don't play the game, so I wouldn't know. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:25, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
RE:High End Pipe (Golden)
Sorry for the late reply. In my opinion, character variants have these traits:
They are usually named like "Character (Variant)". In this case, "Birdo (Black)". They are basically the main character, but usually with a recolor or an outfit, they share their animations, usually have shared or recolored main character emblems and they probably won't have their own cup. Due to these traits, I consider Birdo (Black) a variant. WildWario (talk) 08:36, December 5, 2021 (EST)
RE:Only one R/T track for certain tours (excluding Berlin Byways 2)
This may be a bit too complicated for users to understand easily. Plus, this isn't that noteworthy, and I'm not sure why you want to exclude Berlin Byways 2. Also, the original Sydney Sprint's R/T variant also only appeared once during the first Sydney Tour. WildWario (talk) 04:07, December 8, 2021 (EST)
Missions
For consistency, you should follow the "Mission" format used on other microgame pages when adding microgame missions. Mario JC 04:35, December 18, 2021 (EST)
RE:2022 New Years Tour
It's speculation that the inclusion of Meowser as a driver is a reference to the tiger. Unless it is noted or implied by Nintendo themselves, this is just a coincidence. They probably just chose Meowser because of 3DS Bowser's Castle. WildWario (talk) 21:47, December 24, 2021 (EST)
