==Edits==
Hey, when you writing out information make sure to follow our [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|writing guidelines]], specifically capitalising proper nouns like Donkey Kong. Also, in regards to Hammer Bro., you missed out the ending reference, hence why the information disappeared. In case something similar happens again and you can't figure why, ask another experienced user to help rather than removing the content that's disappeared. Thanks. {{User|Yoshi876}}

:To add, please remember to add a space before every [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Luigi&diff=prev&oldid=2456391 new sentence]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:02, 29 June 2018 (EDT)

== Image categories ==

{{imagecategory-reminder}}
When categorising images, <code>{{tem|uncategorized}}</code> must be replaced with a category link, like <code><nowiki>[[Category:Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Images]]</nowiki></code>, not <code><nowiki>{{Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}</nowiki></code>. Square brackets link to pages (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Papercraft]]</nowiki></code> generates [[Papercraft]]), not curly brackets (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{Papercraft}}</nowiki></code>), which transcludes the page instead. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:13, 19 August 2018 (EDT)

==Spelling==
Hi, we use American spelling standards on this wiki; as such, words like "colour" should be written as "color." Thank you, and continue editing. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:16, 23 August 2018 (EDT)

== Re: Minor Questions == 
Hey there! So for images not on the wiki, still format them within your section as if they were the way you want it(i.e. [[File.Doomhiker.png]]). Don't upload them to the wiki, but when you send in your section to your team director, provide the images via URL from an image-hosting site (such as Imgur) and label them if you have more than one. When the 'Shroom releases, I upload all of the images and then it looks as you intend it. I hope that answers your question. Feel free to message me if you need help with anything else.

== Image extensions ==

Hello! Thank you for your recent uploads and contributions. Just wanted to let you know that, per [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki%3AImage_use_policy&type=revision&diff=2496268&oldid=2318154 policy], the extension at the end of the filename should be lowercase rather than uppercase (for example, .png or .jpg instead of .PNG or .JPG). Thanks! --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 18:36, 8 November 2018 (EST)

== Power Moon redirects ==
Hi, please remember to create an all-lowercase version for every redirect that has at least one uncapitalized word. For example, as of this message, searching for "[[past the moving wall]]" leads to no page, even if you created the "[[Past the Moving Wall]]" redirect. However, redirects that have all words capitalized do not require an uncapitalized version. Good job so far and keep it going! -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 14:38, 11 November 2018 (EST)

==RE: Big Bertha==

There is one rude thing I wrote on Doc's talk page, the one with the crying, and the random captions on the Big Bertha page. I would like you to show me more rude comments that I made; to see if you just assumed that I did that multiple times and that you didn't actually look at my contribution page, because, well, I did! It's also not like these two mini-insults are pushing the boundaries or anything. And also seeing you writing this just a few lines under Link's post where he said that the random captions made his eyes bleed takes all of your objectiveness on that point of view away. {{User:VOIDTHIS/sig}} 17:50, 23 November 2018 (EST)

== New pages ==

Thanks for helping with article creation lately. For future reference:
*The name of the article, when first mentioned, is simply bolded as <code><nowiki>'''Killing Edge'''</nowiki></code>, not <code><nowiki>''[[Killing Edge]]''</nowiki></code>
**For articles on games, TV shows, films, publications etc. ''italics'' are added, so it's bolded as <code><nowiki>'''''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'''''</nowiki></code>
*Goes without saying, but every title for games, game series, films etc. must be ''italicised'' as well, including non-''Mario'' franchises like <code><nowiki>''Fire Emblem''</nowiki></code> (as I noticed your most recent article was missing them).

== RE: Vandal Talk Pages ==
Ok. Thanks for telling me. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 14:00, 13 January 2019 (EST)
:However, I noticed that Blurry Horizon's talk page got deleted because it was a vandal talk page, but it contained more than the block template. Before it got deleted, DKPetey99 posted a Warning Template and a Last Warning on that talk page. Should that talk page have been deleted, or should it have been kept? [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 15:07, 13 January 2019 (EST)
::Per [[Template:Block]], ''Talk pages of permanently banned users are viable for deletion and do not need the template. However, exceptions can be made for talk pages deemed useful for possible future references.'' The reason that Blurry Horizon's talk page got deleted was because it was only warnings while Sonicperson's talk page has an italics reminder, and the reason Sonicperson got blocked was because he kept creating sockpuppet accounts, so his talk page was deemed useful for possible future references if other sockpuppets using his ip address are created, to prevent potentially unbanned sockpuppets used to evade a ban. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 15:27, 13 January 2019 (EST)

==Informal Reminder==
Your oppose of my first proposal may have been valid, but in case you didn't know, YoshiStar28 wasn't blocked because of vandalism. He was blocked for being a sockpuppet of an existing, but blocked, account. Plus, not all people who get blocked on the holidays are vandals. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 22:08, 18 January 2019 (EST)
:True, but if you look at YoshiStar28's contributions before he/she was banned, their edits were constructive and in good faith. The edits weren't even close to vandalism, spamming, or flaming. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 14:08, 20 January 2019 (EST)

==Re: Aboutfile-reminder clarification==
No problem! I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't an argument, and that both of you knew what was the best way to go forward. So yeah, for a bit of future clarification, you issue someone the template if they repeatedly leave in empty aboutfiles or parameters (so, for example, the may leave a line in like |5= and not put anything after it, that's not OK), but it's fine if they remove it completely. Their use is encouraged, but it's not compulsory. So don't worry, we all make mistakes sometimes, just keep this in mind for future reference. :) [[User:BBQ Turtle|BBQ Turtle]] ([[User talk:BBQ Turtle|talk]]) 15:52, 24 January 2019 (EST)

Back in the day, there were templates for birds, fire creatures, ice creatures, etc., that were deleted for being overly-large categories-in-template-form.

== RE: Mama Luigi quote ==

I'm not sure what you mean by "no comma". "You bash it Luigi" is grammatically incorrect without the comma; how he says it (pause or no pause) is irrelevant. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:46, 24 February 2019 (EST)

:I'm confused as to why you're determining whether it's "grammatically correct" simply from the way he speaks. As I said, it doesn't matter if he pauses or not. When written out as a quote, it should be grammatically correct. A comma isn't supposed to signify a pause in between. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:03, 24 February 2019 (EST)

== Donkey Kong Racing Gallery ==

Hello, I am just curious on why my edit was revoked? I am from another wiki (Lost Media Wiki) and we usually have the images at a specific text height and I guess I haven't really seen it this way before.

== "Vandalism" ==

Your last [[Special:Diff/2613637|two]] [[Special:Diff/2613668|reversions]] I think were mislabeled. I don't find these as vandalism; the first looks more like a joke or editing mistake, and the second looks like someone trying to add a relevant (though mistaken) link. Don't be too quick to label something as vandalism if it's something small like this, it's likely someone trying to help or learn how a wiki works. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:25, 2 March 2019 (EST)

== Poochy riding Yoshi ==

That doesn't count as "newbie-bashing," what that is is noting the knee-jerk reaction to the words "riding" and "Yoshi" rendering it as "riding Yoshi" just because that's more what people are used to saying than "Yoshi riding."

== Re:Quick solution ==

It looks clunky to directly refer to the wiki outside of applicable pages where it would be expected like the List of rumors and urban legends about ''Mario'' or ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia''. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 14:44, March 25, 2019 (EDT)
:Maybe, but that approach is more something to be brought up on the Watage Pakkun talk page. The difference with Nipper Dandelion and Fire Nipper Plant is that the former must take some context to translate (I've said it before, but no one's going to look at the name Watage Pakkun as-is and assume it's a type of Nipper Plant or necessarily know that it's actually a dandelion), whereas the latter is a very straightforward translation (''Faia'', Fire, ''Puchi Pakkun'', Nipper Plant). That and the fact that it's just not mentioned at all in the English dub (even though, oddly enough, it and several others are subtitled in plain English) makes me think that it was most likely a different person who came to the conclusion of Fire Nipper Plant.
