Italics

Hello, Sparks! Thanks for your contributions. When writing titles for media like games, films, TV shows, and publications, please remember to italicize them. This is done by placing two straight apostrophes (not quotation marks or curly apostrophes) on both sides of the title, or clicking on the I icon above the text box and typing out the title. For example, typing out ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generates Super Mario Bros. If you are using a device that uses curly ("smart") punctuation, you may need to disable this function in your device's settings to be able to type out the correct apostrophes.

Also, Super Effects like Fire (as well as "Super Effect" itself) are proper nouns and should be capitalised. Mario JC 21:29, November 25, 2022 (EST)

If you can't do this because your device uses curly apostrophes, you can change to straight apostrophes in your settings, or switch to desktop mode and click on the slanted "I" icon when typing game titles. Mario JC 23:07, November 25, 2022 (EST)

Just to clarify, it's two apostrophes on each side for game titles (italicising), and three on each side for the first mention of the subject in the article (bolding). Nightwicked Bowser 14:40, November 28, 2022 (EST)

Templates and categories

When creating new articles, you should put any relevant templates and categories at the bottom of the page, I would suggest looking at other Sparks of Hope related pages to see which ones. You can see these more easily by going into the editing page on the last section. Also, regarding adding a quote on the Stone Mask page, you can use Template:Quote2 to have the quote without automatic links and have Electroid pipe linked.

Articles

Nice work on the articles! Just a few things, avoid using the Sparks' name every time as it can get repetitive, and try to substitute it occasionally with pronouns (so "it", unless their genders are confirmed in-game), and be aware of how you're linking articles (Poison alone is ambiguous and links to the disambiguation page; Poison (status effect) is the RPG status effect, so the correct link should be: [[Poison (status effect)|Ooze]]). Mario JC 21:14, November 30, 2022 (EST)

Also, don't bold image captions or anything that isn't the title of the article (like "Midnite's Memory"). Mario JC 06:23, December 24, 2022 (EST)

M+RSOH articles

Hi! Just wanted to say that you've done a great job with the M+RSOH pages (especially with the creation of the other Sparks). Keep it up! --Zootalo (talk) 18:08, December 1, 2022 (EST)

Replacement images

Just FYI, if you need to upload a new version of an existing image that's in the same image format, just click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the existing file page rather than uploading separately. And if you need to rename, click on the "move" tab at the top of the file page (though you need to be on desktop mode to access it). Mario JC 01:48, December 14, 2022 (EST)

Beep-0

Beep-0 is written with a zero, not the letter O. Nightwicked Bowser 13:40, December 14, 2022 (EST)

Message about tomorrow’s weather

Tomorrow I plan on covering more Darkmess Tentacle battles in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, starting with the Palette Prime ones, although there is going to be a very bad ice storm where I live. The power might go out, and I might be unable to create more pages while it’s out. Hopefully that won’t happen, I hope for the best conditions so that I can help out with more Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope pages. If I show no activity tomorrow, it’s because I lost power.

Italic title

When making pages which have the game as an identifier in the title, remember to put {{italic title|Article title (''game title'')}} at the top of the page so that the game is italicised in the title as well. Nightwicked Bowser 11:58, January 25, 2023 (EST)

Oops. I forgot to do that when I made the lighthouse page earlier, as well as some others, sorry about that. I should always look to that when creating a page with the title in it. User:Mason Popovich, Wednesday, January 25, 2023, 12:28 (EST)
