Italics
Hello. I understand you used List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music as a template for your new page, but as you might have noticed from the page, keep in mind that whenever you name a game title yourself, it should be italicised, with two apostrophes before and after the title (''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''
, which becomes Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey). MarioWiki:Manual of Style provides a step-by-step guide on how to create an article from scratch. Other than that, thanks for your contribution with the new page! Mario JC 19:03, 24 January 2019 (EST)
Images
Hello, Mid188. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:
When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]]or [[Category:Super Mario World media files]] Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. |
Hello, regarding your recent upload you forgot to properly categorize your image. How to do that is listed above this comment. Thanks! Doomhiker (talk) 11:25, 10 February 2019 (EST)
Aboutfile
Hello, Mid188. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded syntax is shown below. {{aboutfile |1=Subject of the image |2=Where you found the image |3=Artist |4=Describe edits, if any |5=Other versions (use file link) }} Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line for the parameter(s) you don't use. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. |

"You"
Hello, just wanted to let you know that we do not use the term "you" to refer to the player. The character's name or the phrase "the player" works just fine. TheDarkStar (talk) 20:16, March 22, 2019 (EDT)
Please keep this in mind, as you're still using "you" to refer to the player. This also applies to phrases like "Go to this room." which should be written as "The player should go to this room." Mario JC 00:25, March 25, 2019 (EDT)
Also, "beanhole" is not a proper noun like "Mario", so omitting the articles "a" or "the" doesn't make sense. It should be referred to as "the beanhole" (as in "After entering the room, the beanhole is seen in the northwest corner."). Mario JC 00:35, March 25, 2019 (EDT)
Hello, Mid188! 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. |
Remember what I said in this section. Mario JC 21:00, February 13, 2023 (EST)
Screenshot resolution
Hello. Thank you for creating and adding images to the List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time page. Can you try to get your images in native DS resolution (256x384)? If you're playing on an emulator, you should be able to do this by taking a screenshot. Scrooge200 (talk) 21:29, March 22, 2019 (EDT)
"Edited"
The parameter "edited" on an aboutfile template is for however you edited the image before you uploaded it, not for edits you made to the aboutfile, category, or licensing post-upload. Thanks! TheDarkStar (talk) 11:37, March 23, 2019 (EDT)
Beahnholes
I'd like to give you my full on thanks and appreciation for making and finishing up the Partners in Time beanhole article promptly and quickly, also with great quality images and accurate locations. Any other projects you plan on undertaking? Ray Trace(T|C) 15:44, March 28, 2019 (EDT)
Yeah, no problem. I just started playing all RPGs in order of release and I am completionist, so I want everything there is to do in the game. And I saw that beanholes from PiT don't have page like in SS and BIS. Send also thank to TheDarkStar, Mario JC, Scrooge200, Toadette the Achiever, Alex95 and 7feetunder. They helped too. I plan on doing the same thing to Dream Team (Beanhole and Pii'llos) and Paper Jam (Beanholes/Drill Spots, Item Patches). I plan to, but that doesn't mean I get to do it, maybe I won't have time.

Pi'illo images
You need to press CTRL + F5 on the file page or clear your browser cache to be able to see the new version you uploaded. Mario JC 22:38, August 6, 2019 (EDT)
I just thought I'd discuss this with you now. The hidden block locations in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions are pretty much the same as they are in the original game so I'm not sure that will be necessary, a lot of the beanhole locations are the same too even though they're all visible and I think there are a few different ones. As for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey beanholes, well a lot of them are actually in different locations from the original game and because of the bigger variety of beans, the types uncovered are changed too so that seems like a good one. Thanks regardless for this. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 13:40, September 12, 2019 (EDT)
I believe that just leaves the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey beanholes. With that one, I should point out that multiple beans can be obtained from one beanhole so I think it would be ideal to include the exact amount from each beanhole, and I don't think it would be necessary to include ones obtained from Kuzzle or the Mushroom ball sidequests since they're not counted in the lists unlike in the original game, but could still mention at the top of the page, along with the fact that some beans are now obtained after the giant battles. Lastly, Toad Town Caves is merged with Toad Town, even though there are only two beanholes in the caves this time. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 15:35, September 26, 2019 (EDT)
RE: Permision to add 2 pages + A question
I have not finished either of the original games or played their remakes, but if a number of beanholes from M&LSS have been relocated, a separate page makes sense. Mario JC 22:20, September 15, 2019 (EDT)
Gauntlet screenshots
Since you're playing this game, would it be possible for you to get screenshots of the Gauntlet boss's artworks that are shown before the battles? I requested those on all of their pages. Thanks in advance. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 15:45, September 30, 2019 (EDT)
That's what I intend to use them for, and giant boss artwork screenshots would be nice too but I know it may be more difficult 'cause they're only shown with their names while the screen is sideways. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 17:15, September 30, 2019 (EDT)
Yeah that is great, and I just put it in Durmite X's page. Thanks a lot Mario Sakuraba (talk) 15:49, October 1, 2019 (EDT)
There definetly were artworks of the giant bosses too, as the screen rotates they're shown. https://youtu.be/QrhgT4PXwXk Mario Sakuraba (talk) 16:09, October 1, 2019 (EDT)
RE:Permission
Alex95's not currently online, so...
I remember the deleted page on Bowser Jr.'s Journey clothing having next to no information to begin with. If you wish to recreate the page, then go right ahead; after all, you have all of the necessary information, unlike the creator of the deleted version.
BTW, if you need some time to add in large chunks of information, then go ahead and use your sandbox to work on it, then add it to the main article once you're done. (T|C) 15:58, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
- Yeah, it was only deleted because it had no information at all. If you think you have everything, then go for it :) 15:59, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
I'm the one who tried to create it before but it was created before I started getting information about clothing, so that's why it was removed. But thanks in advance for doing this. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 16:11, October 16, 2019 (EDT)
Complete Music Pages
I saw and was pleased with the work you did with List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music and List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey music where you list the name of the music and where it plays in-game and I was wondering if you could do pages like that for the other Mario & Luigi games if so that would help me out tremendously! --T.schultz (talk) 12:26, July 21, 2020 (EDT)
RE: Need help with anything?
Nothing is immediately coming to mind, but you can take a look at MarioWiki:Maintenance's categories to see if there's a page you can help with. 12:55, February 27, 2021 (EST)
- If you do get around to getting Origami King, one idea I have for that would be a list of hidden blocks. We have lists for the ones in the first two Paper Mario games, and like in the M&L series since Paper Jam, blocks are recorded in that game. The List of hidden Toads in Paper Mario: The Origami King article also still needs work. Nightwicked Bowser 13:04, February 27, 2021 (EST)
- I don't know about a seperate page listing collectible treasures since most of it would just be repeating the Musée Champignon article. As for stuff in the other games, it's quite hard to think what else is there, since we have lists for pretty much everything in those games now. Nightwicked Bowser 18:48, February 27, 2021 (EST)
RE: Paper Mario: The Origami King - item location pages.
Good plan. You don't need to ask for permission, just go out and do it. 👍 Mario JC 22:29, February 8, 2023 (EST)
- I want to point out that User:Zaku has already been working on a ? Block page: you can see it here. You might want to ask him before you go any further. Scrooge200 (talk) 23:52, February 9, 2023 (EST)
FYI "it's" with an apostrophe is short for "it is", and "its" with none is the possessive form of "it" (so "its owner" is correct, not "it's owner"). Also, avoid adding file links for images that haven't been uploaded yet; they should be uploaded first, then displayed on the page. Mario JC 07:21, February 10, 2023 (EST)
