== RE: Mario Party Advance quest infobox ==

Hi. No need, as long as there are key attributes that would benefit readers in infobox form and they're specific enough to justify one (as opposed to just using an already existing infobox), which I think apply here, so go ahead. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:19, November 11, 2023 (EST)
:Although, you do have to be autoconfirmed (made at least 10 edits and registered for a week) to create pages (including templates). {{User:Mushroom Head/sig}} 06:42, November 11, 2023 (EST)

== Signature ==

I should let you know that signing with raw code is [[MarioWiki:Signatures|not allowed]] and a transcluded signature page should be used to sign. I've created one for you with the code in it ([[User:Derekblue1/sig]]), so you just need to go to your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]], type <tt><nowiki>{{User:Derekblue1/sig}}</nowiki></tt> in the "New signature" field, check the "Treat signature as wikitext" checkbox underneath it, and save (then, when you sign with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, the signature page is used to sign). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:21, November 12, 2023 (EST)

== Headings ==
Just wanted to tell you that making headings such as "Description" is redundant, and "History" is unnecessary if something has only made a single game appearance. [[User:Super Game Gear|Super Game Gear]] ([[User talk:Super Game Gear|talk]]) 12:20, November 28, 2023 (EST)

== History section splits ==

As I requested with [[User talk:Super Game Gear|Super Game Gear]], can you put a pause in splitting history sections? We're trying to figure out a new guideline for it, as the 100kb is evidently not a good rule (some splits were attempted and the resulting pages, especially the one that had its history section split off, were smaller than articles of even some minor NPCs). Thank you! {{User:Mario/sig}} 00:11, December 3, 2023 (EST)

== Deleting ==

For future reference, {{tem|delete}} is used to tag pages for deletion, not {{tem|delete-reason}}, which is a notice issued to users that a page they made was deleted. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:44, December 26, 2023 (EST)

== User page ==

Hi, I just wanted tell you that your userpage has an issue: the page does not show properly. I did some testing, and you need to remove the height part (where it says height:950px) to fix the issue. {{User:Mushroom Head/sig}} 06:00, January 21, 2024 (EST)
:Well, it shows just a bit weird on desktop, but absolutely does not show properly on mobile. Just a minor gripe I have though. {{User:Mushroom Head/sig}} 09:11, February 14, 2024 (EST)

== Re:The Sparkle Gem ==

Oh, I see what you mean. Understood --{{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 07:52, March 27, 2024 (EDT)

== Mario is Missing! quotes ==

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that the scientist's quote that you added on the [[Great Buddha's Orange]] page (the fourth one from the top) is unfinished. Would you mind fixing it? [[User:Power Flotzo|Power Flotzo]] ([[User talk:Power Flotzo|talk]]) 21:33, July 27, 2024 (EDT)

Curious, does the newspaper for Kathmandu say "he was stunned to pun" or "he was '''too''' stunned to pun"? The article said the former, but the latter makes more grammatical sense.

== Mario is Missing! mayors ==
Hey, I noticed that you've created articles for the mayors in Mario is Missing! I just wanted to let you know that the portraits you're using to represent them aren't fixed; they change every time you start a new save. --[[User:Conradd|Conradd]] ([[User talk:Conradd|talk]]) 06:30, August 31, 2024 (EDT)
:I played the DOS version, specifically on this website: https://www.retrogames.cz/play_597-DOS.php. I briefly checked the 'changing portraits' thing. Weirdly, the portraits didn’t change like I remember. Maybe it's because I only checked the first floor, and the portraits don't change there? I'm not sure what's going on. I remember watching YouTube videos of this game while I was playing to verify the names of the mayors were correctly written on the Mario Wiki and to note the quotes from the game. To be honest, I was planning to write the articles myself, but it looks like I wasn't fast enough, haha. So, I don't know, maybe the portraits do change, and I was just incredibly unlucky, or maybe it's a version difference thing.
::Huh, so it turns out the DOS and Deluxe versions are indeed different. Here are the links:
::*DOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c34MlDa41Xc / https://youtu.be/RL9JjUqmfyk
::*Deluxe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDUnPFiXErg / https://youtu.be/hkeOt_GcFZU The Mac version seems to be the same as the Deluxe version.

== Mario is Missing! ==
Hey, not to be rude or anything, but a couple of other editors and I have been fixing the articles you made/edited. It seems like you've been copying and pasting in a rather neglectful manner. There are some passages I'm not sure whether to edit because I'm unsure if they contain mistakes, like this from the Mayor Singer article: 'Mayor Singer is depicted as male in the MS-DOS version. The curator in the DOS version shares the same appearance as Mayor Singer.'

In the Cairo article, there are three quote templates all attributed to the PC version. I've removed this from the Mayor Grenewetzki article: 'Like several of the other mayors, Mayor Grenewetzki is named after someone who worked on Mario is Missing!; they share a name with Vicki Grenewetzki, who is credited as Art Director,' as I’m pretty sure it’s a mistake. And I’m sure I’ve missed some other errors.

Are you trying to make these articles as fast as possible? Could you be a little more careful from now on? I don't want to have to play Mario is Missing! again just to make sure everything in these articles is correct. --[[User:Conradd|Conradd]] ([[User talk:Conradd|talk]]) 16:03, September 3, 2024 (EDT)
:Where are the alleged mistakes here? I see nothing wrong. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:20, September 3, 2024 (EDT)

== Audio files ==

Hello, just to let you know, audio files should be uploaded as [[Help:Media|.oga instead of .ogg]]. If they're already uploaded, they can just be moved to "oga". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:23, September 14, 2024 (EDT)

:Yes, in the "destination filename" when you upload, "ogg" can be changed to "oga" and it won't affect the file. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:37, September 14, 2024 (EDT)

==French Mario is Missing names==
As I go through the names in other languages, I noticed possibly three typos that I'd like to ask you about. The first is in [[Mexico City]], where its French name is listed as simply Mexico, and the second is in [[Rembrandt's paintbrush]], where its French name is written as p'''r'''inceau instead of the correct pinceau. The last one is in [[Surfboard from Bondi Beach]], where it is just written "surf" instead of "planche de surf." Would you be able to verify in your source if those typos are in the game or if you simply made an error when transcribing them? {{User:LadySophie17/sig}} 13:13, May 15, 2025 (EDT)
