Suitability

Please don't split multiple parts of a single sentence into separate edits, it's not necessary at all and it floods the history and recent changes pages with pointless edits when they can all just be done in one single edit. Also, regarding the microgame suitabilities, you should explain how the characters are suitable or unsuitable rather than just something along the lines of "They use their attack to clear the microgame."

Finally, avoid making redirect links like [[Ashley]]. Since the article's title is "Ashley and Red", it should be [[Ashley and Red|Ashley]]. Mario JC 07:48, November 8, 2021 (EST)

Reminder

Please stop making pointless consecutive edits 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 stop splitting sentences into separate edits and only save your edit once you've completed them. Mario JC 08:16, November 8, 2021 (EST)

You're still doing this. Stop splitting edits. Mario JC 06:40, November 15, 2021 (EST)

Stub articles

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

Please don't create microgame pages with just the infobox and appearance, either as is or for you or others to finish it later. There should be much more than that off the bat (in this case, at least a substantial Gameplay section), and navigation templates and categories should be included.

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (splitting parts of sentences into separate edits) 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.

Mario JC 04:15, November 19, 2021 (EST)

These didn't need to be separate edits. They could have been done all at once. Unless there's some sort of technical limitation that's keeping you from doing that, do not split edits and flood the history page with edits. If you're concerned about getting the table rows wrong, use the "Show preview" button before saving. Mario JC 23:43, March 23, 2022 (EDT)

"Suck up"

Stop removing "up" from the phrase, it's less specific that way. Mario JC 04:20, November 25, 2021 (EST)

Last warning

This is your last warning. The next time you break the rules in any way, you will be blocked from editing the Super Mario Wiki. If you feel this last warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Please stop making small changes along a series of edits when they can all be done at once. Mario JC 02:01, March 24, 2022 (EDT)

Note: Sorry, but there is one long page. Moses Sin (talk)

Signing your comments

Make sure you sign your comments on talk pages :) You can use four tildes "~". Simply type Lin7650 (talk) 05:13, August 6, 2023 (EDT) at the end of your sentence next time you leave a message or reply. Spectrogram (talk) 01:39, April 11, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Yes, understood.

Wario: Master of Disguise edits

Don't upsize sprites needlessly, it tends to make them look bad. If you absolutely must upsize a sprite, then multiply its size by a whole number so it doesn't look blurry. For instance, File:WMoDRedChest.png is 30px wide, so only increase it by multiples of 30, like 60px or 90px, not 50px. Also, preview your edits and don't save them in an unfinished state like this. 19:55, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Got it. Moses Sin (talk)

Another thing, in headers, words that aren't proper nouns or the first word of the header should have their initial lowercase, so "NTSC-U Description" should be "NTSC-U description". Mario JC 21:46, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Why do the main list pages have bigger D? Moses Sin (talk)

That's also an error and will need to be fixed eventually. Mario JC 21:53, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: What's the error? Moses Sin (talk)

What I just mentioned, the "D" in "Description" shouldn't be in capitals. Mario JC 22:09, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: 😥

You're still not doing this in your tables. You don't have to go back and fix the previous ones now, but please keep this in mind for future tables. Mario JC 22:20, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Please, tell some others to do that since repeating the same pages is annoying.

I'm saying when you add tables to the levels, make sure "Description" is written as "description". Mario JC 22:28, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Yes, just like that.

Please listen to what I said. You're supposed to do this when you're adding new tables. If something about what I said wasn't clear, please ask. Mario JC 22:37, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: I don't even know why the list page had the bigger D before.

Luncheon Kingdom regional coin list

Please don't remove the list from the Luncheon Kingdom article unless this page gets completed. Nightwicked Bowser 08:47, May 1, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Sorry, but please finish pages showing purple coins of Seaside, Luncheon & Bowser's Kingdoms.

Sticker Star stickers

Now I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the smaller ones are the actual raw in-data size. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:32, May 2, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: OK, I don't know if fans like them.

Table images

If you're adding images to tables, make sure you specify a width for big images (like this). You can't see it in mobile view, but in desktop view, leaving the image without a width causes it to display in its original size and appear too big. Mario JC 10:54, May 6, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Understood, thank you. Moses Sin (talk) 10:50, July 6, 2022 (EDT)

Please remember to add <br> between the images and text for the Yoshi's Island tables so the text appears underneath it, otherwise the text appears next to it in desktop view. Again, this isn't visible in mobile view, so you wouldn't have seen it; in the future, I'd suggest looking at your edits in desktop mode to see that they're displayed properly when working with tables and image placement. Mario JC 04:29, September 11, 2022 (EDT)

You're doing this again; please look at your edits on desktop mode so the images are properly scaled and aligned with the text. It's frustrating having to constantly remind you of things you were notified for before. Mario JC 05:32, September 19, 2022 (EDT)

Level music

The "track" parameter is for titles of officially named songs, not general descriptions of songs. These can be described in the article, or add the actual media file itself in the "track" parameter. Mario JC 10:07, September 17, 2022 (EDT)

Just adding the song title (like "Sticky Situation") when it's not that exact song, but a variation of it, is misleading. Please stop redoing these edits. Mario JC 07:47, September 18, 2022 (EDT)

All right, I'll stop. Sorry for some confusions. Moses Sin 20:00, September 18, 2022 (EDT)

Image categories

After removing {{uncategorized}} when you upload, it should be replaced with a category link (for Dark Moon images, you add [[Category:Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon images]]) Mario JC 05:00, December 10, 2022 (EST)

Moses: Oh, sorry. It's my first time uploading. Moses Sin (talk) 18:55, December 10, 2022 (EST)

"Image+Name"

It's more formal to use a forward slash than a plus sign here. Mario JC 00:37, April 11, 2023 (EDT)

• Sure, thanks for the advice. Moses Sin (talk) 00:50, April 11, 2023 (EDT)

Excessive linking

Don't add excessive and unnecessary links to concepts like "enemy" and "character"; these types of things are obvious and don't really help the reader. Many of the links you're adding are also redirect links (including the ones I mentioned), which are not allowed, and disambiguation links. Mario JC 10:49, April 25, 2023 (EDT)

• Got it. Moses Sin (talk) 06:30, April 25, 2023 (EDT)

Prezzy Edits

I like the edits that you made on the Prezzy page, since I feel like having the rating being a little pixel sprite gallery would be better than having it as just plain text. It looks less cluttered that way, and it matches what it looks like in-game.

Lin7650 4:12, August 6, 2023 (CST)

• Sure. Moses Sin (talk) 4:15, August 6, 2023 (EDT)

Warioware smooth moves pre-intro cutsenses

Hello, Moses Sin. I have just reuploaded the files you've uploaded for the WWSM pre-intros. With the high-quality thp/emulator versions. Why? Because youtube screenshots come out as blurry, and thus you shouldn't rely on yt videos for cutscene screenshots. Youtube screenshots are best when used on youtube-exclusive videos, like the WarioWare Gold character trailers. (I haven't reuploaded one for Jimmy P yet)  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  09:25, October 2, 2023 (EDT)

• OK. Moses Sin (talk) 9:26, October 2, 2023 (EDT)

YouTube screenshots of gameplay are acceptable if you don't have any other means of capturing the game, as long as the videos themselves aren't poor quality. Mario JC 01:01, October 3, 2023 (EDT)

• Fair enough. Moses Sin (talk) 15:15, October 3, 2023 (EDT)

Moving files

Read the reason why I moved the page back. If you're renaming a file, its name needs to be changed on any pages that are using it (listed under "File usage"). Mario JC 01:33, October 10, 2023 (EDT)

Please do not move files without changing their names on the pages linking them. You moved a number of files that haven't been updated on articles. Mario JC 07:08, November 9, 2023 (EST)

If you're moving a file because of a wrong name, the old name should be marked for deletion with {{delete}}, not blanked.
Also, when you do upload over the wrong name, the summary information isn't actually added to the page; you have to edit the page manually to add it. Mario JC 07:15, November 28, 2023 (EST)

Wikipedia links

We have a template for this: {{wp}}. Mario JC 05:45, October 19, 2023 (EDT)

• Fair enough. Moses Sin (talk) 09:45, October 19, 2023 (EDT)

.jpg

Hello Moses Sin. Great work on uploading the Club Sugar and Hawt House finale cutscenes from Twisted and Touched. However, you uploading them in jpg format, from YouTube videos rather than Desmume or Visual Boy leaves quality to be desired. If you want emulator-quality screenshots (in png), simply play the rom dumps in your Desmume/Visual Boy, then you can take a screenshot of your computer and crop out the excess into just the emulator's output display instead. Get it? It should be simple. Plus, if you're planning to save them in pngs, there's a dropdown option in the Save As window, that lets you change the file type.  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  07:30, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

• Understood. Moses Sin (talk) 18:10, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

Old file names

You're still just blanking old file names instead of marking them for deletion. If you're going to edit the page anyway, you may as well tag {{delete}} to it rather than removing everything. Is there a reason why you're not adding it or can't add it? Mario JC 09:21, December 5, 2023 (EST)

No, sorry. Moses Sin (talk) 11:55, December 5, 2023 (EDT)

Similar images

Please don't upload excessive images that are too similar to each other; we don't need every single frame of a cutscene. That means if the only difference between multiple images is something as minor as character's head position (like Jimmy T looking at the camera then at his phone), we only need one.

Also, don't connect captions together to write a narrative and add made-up quotes like "This is me, Mona!" They should be kept professional and simply describe what is in the image. Mario JC 07:29, December 29, 2023 (EST)

Files final reminder

Not only are you still just blanking redirects rather than tagging them for deletion, you're not fixing their file names on other pages too (the "WWG CricketCharacterTrailer(number).png" ones specifically). A number of your images are also too similar to other images and unnecessary. Please pay attention to what I've been telling you; this is a final warning and it's exhausting having to remind you of the same things every time.
Another thing, changing something like "WWG CricketCharacterTrailer1.png" to a simple description like "The winner is Young Cricket!.png" is not necessarily a "better name". You got rid of the game name in the title, and a lot of your names are not professional and again just made-up quotes ("CATCH!", "Yes, I got it!"). They should be titled the same way you'd write a caption, but simpler/shorter (e.g. "WWG Young Cricket wins.png", "WWG Mantis throws dumpling.png", "WWG Cricket Cicada catch dumpling.png"), and they shouldn't have symbols and punctuation like parentheses, ampersands, and exclamation marks (read MarioWiki:Image use policy).
