==Typo removal==
==My to-do list==
I'm currently fixing typos in the mainspace. The easiest way to find them is to search for duplicate words like "the the", "a a", "an an", "a an", "to to" (warning: this one can be grammatical in some contexts), etc.


After this is done, I plan to search for variations of game titles, like "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door" for "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door".
3. Change "he or she" (referring to the player) to "they", "him or her" to "them", etc., except in cited text.


==''Paper Mario'' Minor NPC project==
4. Items like [[Roast Whacka Bump]] lack the in-game description. Also many ''Super Paper Mario'' characters lack Tippi's tattles.
Currently working on [[List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario]]. The quotes come from the [http://www.romhacking.net/community/3078/ Paper Mario Text Dump] by Rew.


I used to put the tables on the location pages (such as [[Star Haven#Characters found]]), but some of the tables were very big and pages like [[Peach's Castle]] and [[Bowser's Castle]] couldn't afford them.
More importantly, some infoboxes fail to mention from which game the in-game description comes:
<pre>
Ultra Stone
|description=''"A stone. Use it to ultra-rank one of your party members."'' <!--this quotation is from paper mario-->
</pre>


{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
5. For pages like [[List of implied characters]], see what pages redirect to them. The target of redirects are typically "List of implied characters#XXX". Check whether this works (i.e. whether XXX actually appears as a section title).

Minor NPC project

The page List of minor NPCs in Paper Mario is largely finished.

  • The quotes come from the Paper Mario Text Dump by Rew. Some of them have been confirmed by actually playing the game, but the others (such as the Toad Town ones) have not.
  • The compilation of this article led to the discovery of a few new named NPCs (the Rangers and the Great Gossip Trio) as well as new facts about existing named NPCs.
  • I'm not satisfied with the layout of the page as it currently stands, but I don't know how to improve it with my crude HTML/CSS skills.
