Collaborations To improve the quality of articles which are short or lacking in detail, the Super Mario Wiki has decided to have a collaboration in addition to MarioWiki:PipeProjects

Main Collaboration A collaboration is when contributors come together to improve an existent article into one of higher quality than when the improving began. The wiki is starting out with a collaboration once a fortnight. Sometimes collaborations will work with PipeProjects. Help finish the Games page. Help them become an FA! - Articles nominated to be FAs Help them remain Featured! - FAs nominated to be Unfeatured

To Do List The Super Mario Wiki is attempting to become the largest and greatest Super Mario franchise knowledge-base to ever exist. Unfortunately, this wiki needs a lot of help in reaching that goal. Here are some things to do that we would appreciate:

Add to Articles Create a most wanted article. Expand a short page or a stub. Upload or create a requested image. Update older articles with new information. Minor Edits Provide categories to articles without any (we can't stress this enough). Create redirects and fix double redirects. Copyedit articles, fixing spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Verify the accuracy of an article with research.

Guidelines, help, and resources The Super Mario Wiki has tens of departments staffed by a small army of volunteers. Here are some of the most general departments for help that we currently have.

Help MarioWiki help - Browse help pages Templates Tables Images (Media) Licenses Lists Technical naming restrictions Userboxes (list of them) FAQ Policies and guidelines The Super Mario Wiki has many established policies, guidelines, conventions, and traditions. This is a very brief sampling of some of the most important guidelines. Policies and guidelines apply both to articles and how to work with fellow editors. Article standards Copyrights Image use Canonicity Working with others Once and Only Once Personal image use Vandalism

They create a subpage at User:Username/sig and use a template-style as their signature. In order to make ~~~ come out as {{User:Username/sig}} to save time, check the raw sig box and input this in your signature field: {{subst:nosubst|User:Username/sig}}
