Writing guidelines

I think you need to know a few things about how articles are supposed to be written. First of all, we don't say "you" when referring to the player, either we say the playable character's name or "the player" depending on the context. Don't put subjective things in articles, such as stating which bosses are easiest or areas are biggest. You don't need to put "Note:" when stating something, either just start a new sentence or paragraph. Lastly, game titles must be italicised, which is done by putting two apostrophes on each side (not quotation marks) e.g. ''Paper Mario: The Origami King''. You should see MarioWiki:Manual of Style and MarioWiki:Good Writing for more regarding our guidlines. Thanks for reading. Nightwicked Bowser 21:33, February 24, 2021 (EST)

Regarding the creation of Flashy Mushroom, you included the use of the word "you" in it, didn't italicise every time, and you need to put any relevant navigation templates and categories at the bottom of the page. One other thing I should mention, you tried physically writing out a "stub" notice at the top. All you would need to do for that is write it as "{{stub}}" and it would appear as you intended it to be. Nightwicked Bowser 22:09, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Please stop not following writing guidelines 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.

Please follow the guidelines that have been pointed out to you; they are important, and it's a hassle for others to constantly fix these mistakes or point them out to you. The Shiny Hammer article was missing a few things, two of which you were already notified for above for previous article creations:

• Remember to italicise any game titles you type out yourself. You place the title between two pairs apostrophes, on each side (''Paper Mario: The Origami King''). This should be done both in text and in headings.
• Don't capitalise after a comma, Like this. Words should be capitalised if it's the first word of a new sentence (after a period) or a proper noun.
• Categories should be added at the bottom of the page (in this case, Category:Paper Mario: Sticker Star Items and Category:Paper Mario: The Origami King Items).

Be sure to check your articles to see what fixes were made. For future articles, if you need to, there's nothing wrong with looking at other similar articles and seeing how they are structured. Mario JC 21:26, March 26, 2021 (EDT)

A warning will most likely be given if you keep using "you" on articles from this point. Also, please stop responding to talk page discussions that are from a few years ago. Nightwicked Bowser 10:32, March 27, 2021 (EDT)

Images and linking

When putting images in articles, all you need to do is code it like this: [[File:PMTOK Bobby.png]]. This will cause the image to display rather than just showing the link. The same goes with article links, you can link them like: [[Bowser]]. I know you only did this on your userpage, but I just thought I would show you how this is done properly, even to make your userpage look how you intend it to be. Nightwicked Bowser 11:28, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Thank you. I was about to ask someone how they do that. User:Dreamy Bowser/sig (Your Probably Already Know It's Me Since This Is My Page.) And, how do you make a user box tower? (I joined 1 or 2 years ago so i have no idea how.)

I'm not sure how to do a userbox. I noticed that a lot of images in your userpage are way too big, you can reduce their sizes with [[File:PMTOK Bobby.png|100px]] (the "px" part determines how big the image is). And you can easily sign your comments with ~~~~ Nightwicked Bowser 13:35, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Show preview

If you want to see how your edits look before saving the page, use "Show preview". You can continue editing until you are ready to save the page. Doing this prevents repeated edits to the same page, flooding the Recent Changes and page's history. 12:08, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Also, pages like Clone Jump are too short to be an article. Please look at other similar pages for proper article building, and also take a look at our help guides. The article will be deleted, as we don't accept stub articles, but you are free to recreate it once you have more information. 12:11, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Alright, but why would they say "See Clone Jump" on Double Cherry, if it doesn't exist? User:Dreamy Bowser/sig And, how do you make a user box tower? (I joined 1 or 2 years ago so i have no idea how.)

It's requesting the page be made, but if you don't have enough information to make the page, you should hold off until you do. As for the userbox tower, instructions are here. Also, sign your comments with four ~, how you are doing it now is causing your entire userpage to be displayed here on your talk page. 12:27, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Thanks for telling me. User:Dreamy Bowser

Hey, How do you change your username? User:Dreamy Bowser

You can request your name to be changed here. An admin will then eventually change your username. Nightwicked Bowser 13:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Not to be inpatient, but it's been hours and i don't know if it was approved or not. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 15:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)User:Dreamy Bowser

You are still editing your userpage extensively after the past couple of hours. Please use show preview to check your edits so you can save everything at once. 17:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Yeah, try not to make too many edits to your userpage at once, you should really be editing mainspace articles a lot more often. Nightwicked Bowser 20:24, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Alright, but how do you make a user box? this is what im talking about, just an example, but User:Fawfulthegreat64 Has a user box. (Or whatever it's called.)) Dreamy Bowser (talk) 21:20, March 10, 2021 (EST)User:Dreamy Bowser

Nevermind, it's called a info box. How do i make one? Dreamy Bowser (talk) 13:11, March 11, 2021 (EST)

You can take a look at infoboxes on other user pages or copy the coding from one of the wiki infoboxes. But also

Dear Bowser64, It has come to our attention that you are currently in violation of the userspace policy. Please review the policy and abide by it, or else a warning will be issued. Thank you for your cooperation.

You are not following what we've been telling you, and you been editing your userpage extensively. Mix in some other main article edits as well, and use Show preview to check your work without having to save rapidly. 17:22, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Alright, I'll Stop Editing For A While. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 17:23, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Signature creation

If you want to create your signature, there is a link on this page where you can do so. This will also explain how to put images on it. Just make sure you follow the rules on MarioWiki:Signatures. Nightwicked Bowser 21:32, March 22, 2021 (EDT)

You can link to the pages you meant to by using [[User:Bowser64]], [[User talk:Bowser64]], and [[Special:Contributions/Bowser64]]. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:29, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (continuing to edit your userpage without focusing on the wiki) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Despite the above, you continue to edit your userpage with very little focus on the main wiki itself. The only article you've edited since your userpage creation is Double Mario, and we need to see more of that. While I'm glad you want us to get to know you better, the Super Mario Wiki is not a profile site. 11:20, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Ok Then. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 20:28, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Its vs. it's

"It's" is the short form of "it is", while "its" is the possessive pronoun, so the correct way to use the latter would be "its port", not "it's port". Also, rather than saying "...and is in its port", try to use more professional language like "...and reappears in its port". Mario JC 23:36, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Reminder

Please stop writing in second-person 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.

Please write with proper grammar and style on articles. Not only were you still writing in second-person in your last edit after being notified twice, you're not capitalising proper nouns like "mario", "toad" and "bob-omb". You also tend to overuse commas and use periods less often. Make sure to use periods when starting a new sentence (e.g. "This glitch can end if Mario enters a battle, though cutscenes do not fix the glitch." should be a separate sentence from the previous info), otherwise just using commas leads to comma splices. Whether creating a new article or just adding information to an existing one, it's strongly recommended you read through the guidelines that were linked to you, especially MarioWiki:Manual of Style. Mario JC 21:20, March 24, 2021 (EDT)

Hey, i'm reading the warning policy and it says "Please note that any sockpuppets of an existing account are automatically banned.", what is a sockpuppet exactly? - Bowser64 (Talk - Sandbox)

A sockpuppet is an extra account created by the same person, sometimes to pretend to be someone else or to evade a block.

Also, regarding your signature, you're only allowed one GIF, and it should be 35 pixels or less in height ([[File:Bowser-MH3on3.gif|x35px]]) per MarioWiki:Signatures. Mario JC 21:52, March 24, 2021 (EDT)

Ok. - Bowser64 (Talk - Sandbox)

Reminding you that you still used "it's" during your recent edit in the Fire Breath article. You don't need to link every single instance of names being used, only do that the first time that name is used. There is also no need to pipe link plurals, that should be done like this: [[Fury Block]]s and will appear just fine. Regarding the section headers of Super Mario 3D World, you should format them like this: ''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', leaving a space before and after the slash. Nightwicked Bowser 16:45, March 26, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, i'll add those changes then. - Bowser64 (Talk - Sandbox)

Why is everything with M's Name Now Gone? Is it because it's April Fools Day or because its past March 31st? - Bowser64 (Talk - Sandbox)

Most likely it's just for today. Should be back to normal tomorrow. Nightwicked Bowser 17:34, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

Other users' comments in talk pages

Editing other peoples' talk page comments is not allowed, even if it is to fix a spelling mistake, so please stop doing that. Nightwicked Bowser 20:46, April 2, 2021 (EDT)

Ok - Bowser64 (Talk - Sandbox)
