Page rules

1. Swearing will not be tolerated.

2. You can have a chat with me if you want, but keep it appropriate.

3. Be respectful of others.

Italics

Hi. When writing game titles (the latter was an anonymous edit by you), please remember to format them in italics. You do this by enclosing the title in two apostrophes, so instead of simply writing: Mario Kart: Double Dash, you type ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', which generates: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Thanks. Mario JC 21:30, 7 March 2017 (EST)

Pokémon Images

We have no use for Pokémon images, except for the Super Smash Bros. (series), so I tagged File:MimikyuPicture.png and File:778Mimikyu Dream.png with {{personal-image}}. Please read our policy before uploading any further. There are established limits. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:04, 8 March 2017 (EST)

Because your images are going unused, they have had their tags changed from {{personal-image}} to {{personal-image-abandoned}} and will likely be deleted within a short time. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:15, 10 March 2017 (EST)

It's now deleted. If you want it back, just ask a sysop to restore it. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:56, 10 March 2017 (EST)

New Game Appearance

FYI, we don't update the most recent appearance of a character until after the game is released. Once April 28th rolls around, then the information can be updated. 11:46, 10 March 2017 (EST)

Reminder

Please stop forgetting to use italics and changing latest game appearances before release 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.

You were reminded of the latter the first time here. Mario JC 19:22, 10 March 2017 (EST)

Page creation

To add to what Yoshi the SSM said here, when starting a new article, please remember to follow the step-by-step instructions on how to do so in the Manual of Style, including bolding the title, italicising game titles and categorising, and it is recommended you have a sufficient amount of information right off the bat. Thanks. Mario JC 21:06, 15 March 2017 (EDT)
