GrammarEdit
Please try to avoid combining sentences with "(comma) also"; that's known as a comma splice and is considered poor grammar (e.g. "3D Land returns, also Boom Boom and Pom Pom appear as a spirit.") In cases like this, you should start a new sentence (e.g. "3D Land returns. Also, Boom Boom and Pom Pom appear as a spirit.") The first word after a comma (except proper nouns) also shouldn't be capitalised.

Conversely, avoid splitting related phrases into separate sentences. "Making their first 3D appearance in the Mario franchise." is not a complete sentence by itself as "making" is used to connect to the previous sentence, so it should be preceded with a comma instead of a period, or rewritten as a standalone sentence: "They make their first 3D appearance in the Mario franchise."

MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titlesEdit
Please remember to italicise game titles (format titles like Super Mario Galaxy as Super Mario Galaxy). Mario JC 19:48, February 21, 2020 (EST)
- You've forgot this again. Please regard the above comment. Doomhiker (talk)
20:43, February 21, 2020 (EST) - Also, please don't use the term "Smash 4" as it's a colloquial fan term. It should be referred to as Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Hello, Jrpierre123! 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.
If you are using a device that uses curly ("smart") punctuation, you may need to disable this function in your device's settings to be able to type out the correct apostrophes. |
Character-specific triviaEdit
Information on specific characters and actors belongs on their articles, not the articles for the games themselves. --

| Hello, Jrpierre123. When editing, if you'd like to see how your edits affect a page, use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save changes" button. This allows you to check over your edits for any errors and make any additional changes or fixes before you save, which will prevent edits from flooding the page history and recent changes. (If you are on mobile, make sure to check the preview page thoroughly before proceeding to save.) Please try to avoid making excessive, consecutive edits to a single page within a short timespan and instead limit them to as few as possible. |
