New articlesEdit

Hello, when creating a new article, please remember to follow the Manual of Style. In particular:

  • Game titles should be italicised.
  • Remember to add any relevant categories and navigation templates at the bottom of the page.
  • Images are also recommended to show what the subject looks like.

Thanks and keep contributing.   Mario JC 07:50, May 8, 2024 (EDT)

One or more pages that you have recently created have been deleted or marked as a stub article (Fedora Kong). Please consider the following ideas and suggestions when expanding/creating an article:
  • Before saving a new page, be sure that you have put as much effort and information in the article as you can.
  • Make sure that the page follows all of the rules that are outlined in the Manual of Style.
  • Perhaps upload a few images that can be used on the article.
Please don't take this notice as a dejection; this is just an informative notice and we encourage you to keep contributing.

Not only did your article not follow the points I mentioned above, this character has very little information about him (as you brought up on the article) and no official name, so it's not substantial for an article. What information there is is already covered here.   Mario JC 07:20, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

Please do not create articles only containing a few sentences, an article needs to be in a near complete state upon creation. If you don't have enough information for the subject, then don't create the page at all. The top of MarioWiki:Manual of Style states "Please do NOT create tiny articles just for the sake of filling in red links. Even if the article you are making is about a minor subject, try to put a decent amount of effort into it rather than a rush job."   Nightwicked Bowser   13:07, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

Hello, Starluxe! Thanks for your contributions. When writing, avoid using first- and second-person perspective with pronouns like "you". As an encyclopedia site, we write in third-person and not from a specific person's point of view or referring directly to the reader, so the term "the player", or the character's name, should instead be used in the pronouns' place.
Hello, Starluxe! 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.

AboutEdit

We have a template for "This article is about" notices ({{about}}); you don't need to type the full text out.   Mario JC 08:17, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

{{distinguish}} too. Check Category:Notice templates or the source text of other articles to see what templates are used for notices like these.   Mario JC 07:59, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

New article / StarlexEdit

Much better effort on Da Banana Bunch: The Original Donkey Kong 64 Soundtrack; again, remember to add navigation templates and categories for new articles.

Just FYI, your previous account Starlex (talk) has been blocked. Please stick with one account when editing, as multiple accounts are not allowed (in case you forget your password, maybe consider assigning an email).   Mario JC 10:26, May 15, 2024 (EDT)

RedirectsEdit

Please specify where the name for the redirect comes from in the summary box (in mobile mode, it's the "How did you improve this page?" box) when you create a redirect, if it's from an obscure source. For instance, where does "Kissy" come from for Birdo?   Mario JC 13:11, May 15, 2024 (EDT)

ReminderEdit

Please stop forgetting navigation templates and categories for new articles 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.

I've reminded you twice about this. Please remember to add these to the bottom of new articles. If you're unsure which to add, look at other similar articles on the wiki.   Mario JC 00:01, May 19, 2024 (EDT)

ItalicsEdit

Whenever you link to italicised titles (titles for games, series, books etc.) with identifiers, make sure the identifier (the part in brackets) is not italicised, and hidden, since it's not part of the name. The link should be piped like this: ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]''   Mario JC 21:47, May 19, 2024 (EDT)
