Links

Please don't add links willy-nilly to certain terms. They need to be the correct subject to be used, e.g. "Attack" is the stat from the Mario & Luigi series, not attacks in general, and "CD" is the in-game items from Wario Land 4 and Smash, not generic real-life CDs. Links should also use the original article's name, with the link's display name changed if necessary (e.g. [[List of enemies|enemy]], not simply [[enemy]]).

Also, you didn't respond regarding TheEnormousWario; I take it it didn't work? Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 23:42, January 14, 2021 (EST)

It didn’t work. And that account was later blocked by Alex95. -Bowser NSMBU.png BigBowserBoss FIRE! 12:57, 2 February 2021 (EST)

You're still doing this, please check where the link you're making leads before adding it into an article- the fish page is about a microgame, not the species, and manga is a disambiguation page, which should be avoided linking to where possible. BBQ Turtle (talk) 10:18, January 20, 2021 (EST)

I don’t do it anymore. -Bowser NSMBU.png BigBowserBoss FIRE! 17:51, 22 January 2021 (EST)

Another one I should mention. Japan seems to mainly talk about the country's appearance in NES Open Tournament Golf, so that's another one that shouldn't really be linked if we're talking about the real world country. Keyblade Master (talk) 04:00, February 2, 2021 (EST)

Why can I still not create pages

I’ve made more than ten edits and been on the wiki for one week which means I’m autoconfirmed, but why am I still not able to create pages? -Bowser NSMBU.png BigBowserBoss FIRE! 17:00, 22 January 2021 (EST)

Edits

Stop making pointless edits like this, you've done this multiple times and even reverted it immediately after twice and calling it "your error". This is a form of disruptive editing and will result in a reminder or warning if it continues. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:25, January 23, 2021 (EST)

Red links

Please don't remove red links just because they don't exist. They're for subjects that need an article but haven't received one yet. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 20:17, January 24, 2021 (EST)

Cubone article

One or more pages that you have recently created have been deleted or marked as a stub article (Cubone). 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.

Additionally, Cubone does not require a page on this wiki, as it is already covered on the Pokémon page, and only makes very minor appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series- appearing as a background element and trophy is not enough to warrant an article. I would recommend reading through the information on MarioWiki:Coverage before creating any further articles like that. BBQ Turtle (talk) 13:23, January 25, 2021 (EST)

@BBQ Turtle:Do you think it’s a good idea to redirect to the Pokemon page? -Bowser NSMBU.png BigBowserBoss FIRE! 13:29, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

We normally do use redirects for that sort of thing, so I would say so. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8
Aside from the trophy and the background character, Cubone isn't something we cover properly like the other Pokemon summons. I don't think a redirect is necessary here. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:48, January 25, 2021 (EST)

Generic list links

Please stop adding those, multiple users (myself included) have been removing those because they are unnecessary and look very awkward and forced. Also, links to those lists are already along the left edge of the screen under "browse," which is more convenient anyways. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:33, February 1, 2021 (EST)

But look at the tip from Mario jc here. -Bowser NSMBU.png BigBowserBoss FIRE! 05:18, 2 February 2021 (EST)

And that same kind of link is included in here and here. -Bowser NSMBU.png BigBowserBoss FIRE! 14:06, 2 February 2021 (EST)

I think this should be discussed somewhere before you go any further with it. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 14:42, February 2, 2021 (EST)

Just to let you know, this has been brought up with the administration and consensus so far is to stop doing this practice. I'd suggest not adding those links until further notice, because it's likely that they will eventually be removed anyway. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad!

Hope you don't mind if I go through this user's contribution history and revert these edits. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 17:53, February 2, 2021 (EST)
I'd prefer if you waited, only a handful of us have weighed in so far and I'd like to give it a little more time. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 17:56, February 2, 2021 (EST)

Templates

Can you please explain why you think articles should be rewritten if you're gonna put that rewrite template in? Also if there doesn't really seem like there is much else to add to an article, even if the article isn't that big, the Stub template isn't necessary.

@Keyblade Master: What else can I do to help this wiki? -Bowser NSMBU.png BigBowserBoss FIRE! 09:12, February 3, 2021 (EST)

I don't think he's saying to never add templates to articles ever, instead he's saying that you should only put them in when they're truly needed and not in very short pages that even though they're short, they have enough length to tell everything about whatever's the article talking about. Take the WarioWare souvenirs as an example, some articles are very short but they document all that there is for the souvenirs. --Tent2 KirbySleepingAnimated.gif 09:21, February 3, 2021 (EST)
