Things you can do

• Start an article.
• Create your user page.

Also, here's a list of tips to help you along on this site:

Grammar. Be sure to use correct spelling and punctuation when writing on an article. It makes an article easier to read, and you'll be considered a good contributor. Italicize the titles of games and TV show episodes. Don't bold the title of the article in the article more than the first time you use the title in your article. Use links once per article.

Add Needs to a Page. Be sure to include all the information you can in an article. You should also try to categorize and add images when possible. Also, if you're working on an article that will take a while to complete, add {{construction|soon}} to the top of the article.

Communicate. Talking with your fellow users is another way to help you get by on this site. Some just may want to be your friend as well!

Other. Categorize uploaded images, but don't upload images you won't use. Don't use profanity on the site, and try to be kind to others. Don't create articles unless it is related to the Mario series, Yoshi series, Wario series, or the Donkey Kong series.

You can delete this message once you're done using it by click "edit" at the top of the page. After all, your user space belongs to you.
