Hello. I'm Son of Suns, a sysop here at the Super Mario Wiki. You're contributions are pretty good. Remember to pay close attention to spelling. Also we frown upon the use of the word "you" at this wiki. Instead, use "Mario" or some other character, or "the player" if an action refers specifically to the gamer sitting behind the TV screen. Also remember to add categories. The most common are Species, Enemies, Characters, Items, and Places. Characters refers to a specific person, not a generic race. You should also check out the PipeProject: Levels page to see if you are doing the level articles correctly. Also, the template you created could be made to look better. Check out our templates and format yours accordingly. Otherwise, good work and thanks for your help. -- Son of Suns

As SoS said, you should have checked PP:LEV. It turns out that we are not linking to individual levels directly, and in addition, no templates for individual worlds.

Read PipeProject:Levels#Structure. The content of the pages is very good, but it has been decided that creating a single article for each level is unnecessary. Instead of hundreds of short articles, we are creating multiple long articles categorized by world – with sub-sections of those world pages with the descriptions. 6-5 and World 7 Mini-Fortress 1 should be merged as sub-sections of the Ice Land article. You are actually the first to get a headstart on this project, so you are not all to blame – there was no visual example to go beforehand.

The actual 6-5 page will redirect to World 6, which will be a disambiguation page that links to World 6 (SMB), World 6 (SMB2), World 6 (NSMB),

--> Ice Land, the 6th world of SMB3, and Chocolate Island, the 6th world of SMW. <--

because #-# and World # format is common through the games. SMB3 & SMW have names for their worlds (+ levels for SMW). No need to distinguish them, but it's worth mentioning in the disambiguation page itself.

Let me know if there are any more questions. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 19:50, 31 October 2006 (EST)
