Please read my profile to find out why the title of my profile and talk page read Koops. Koops  ( message ''')

 * FYI, your talk page isn't meant to hold your profile, it's meant for discussions with you. You should save the profile for when you're able to create your user page. 21:22, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

I was going to remove it when I am able to create my user page. Starclimber the NightWing (message) 22:42, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

RE: User page
Not sure why it says that, as the right to create discussion pages is accessible to everyone. Putting the reply here, though, so that your talk page can be created. -- 16:18, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

Thanks! Starclimber the NightWing (message) 17:26, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

Signature Tips
I see a few issues with you using signatures You are not in trouble. Just helping out so that way things work smoothly for you. -- 20:21, 16 May 2018 (EDT)
 * Raw code. See Signatures for 's general policy and Help:Signature for help how to set one up.
 * Embedding the entire image instead of a thumbnail. The wiki software that uses can generate thumbnails if you specify the dimensions. 25px for a width should be appropriate for signatures: NightWing.png . More markup options can be found here.

Images
First of all, good catch on File:Rogueport Map.PNG! Can't believe that spelling error went unnoticed until now.

Though keep in mind that when moving images, you need to correct links that lead to it. The best way to find all these are to go the the "What links here" option on the sidebar, which will give you all current links to the page. Tip: Start looking through templates first ;) 15:50, 18 May 2018 (EDT)
 * I also want to take this time to say you've been editing userspace quite extensively, even before you became autoconfirmed. You've made one edit to the mainspace and one to a file other than your own, with the other ~90% of your edits being to userspace (yours and others) and MarioWiki namespace. While it is important for a community to get to know you better, do try to mix in more mainspace edits. Thanks! 16:30, 18 May 2018 (EDT)

Identifiers
While, yes, Donkey Kong is an arcade game, it's more accurate to just call it simply (game), since it's the only game named "Donkey Kong" and no further identification is needed. If you need more info on identifiers, please take a look at Naming. 19:15, 26 May 2018 (EDT)

Image
Regarding this upload, I'm not sure what your intended purpose is. If you're planning to add it to a public article or gallery, please remember to fill in appropriately and also remove  and replace it with the appropriate game category (in this case, Category:Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Images), both of which have already been done for you. If this is meant to be a personal image showing your racing record, please tag it with. More information on personal images can be found here. 22:11, 31 May 2018 (EDT)
 * Please remember these steps to fill out the aboutfile template and categorize correctly. Oh, additionally, if you aren't able to provide a good quality image, please also include in your upload summary.  21:08, 29 June 2018 (EDT)

RE:Username change
You would go to Changing username and make a new request at the bottom, following the instructions. However, you need to wait three months after your account creation date, which means you can make a request on August 12th. 00:06, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
 * I do not have that right. You can make the request like I said above on the Changing username page on August 12th. 16:28, 22 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Again, I do not have that right. Wait until August 12th, and then make the request on Changing username. A bureaucrat will take care of rename and the inactive user as they see fit. 02:01, 24 June 2018 (EDT)

RE:Delete files
One's a file redirect, but it looks like it's still in use. Are you sure? 16:49, 22 June 2018 (EDT)

I don't use it anymore, so delete them. Koops  ( message ''') 16:51, 22 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Okay, they've been deleted. 16:55, 22 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks! Koops - PMTTYD.png Koops  ( message ''') 16:56, 22 June 2018 (EDT)

Show preview
Hi, I've noticed that you've been making quite a few consecutive edits to your userpage. I recommend using the Show preview button located next to Save page. This will display how the page will look after the edit. Making a whole bunch of edits to your page in a row to make something look right (I assume that's what's happening) will stack up your userspace edits and possibly get you reprimanded. 19:16, 22 June 2018 (EDT)


 * "Reprimanded" here means a Warning or a Reminder.
 * 17:22, 30 June 2018 (EDT)
 * P.S. Sorry for my late answer. I've been on vacation.

RE:Username change
In regards to what you said on Mario jc's talk page, let me just say that even though the account is inactive, the fact that it has legitimate edits alone is enough to not take that username. It's not uncommon for users to come back from hiatuses lasting several years (and perhaps even decades). You'll need to request another username. 18:49, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeeeaah, trying to communicate with an inactive user likely isn't going to result in anything. 19:06, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
 * I'm pretty sure "Koops 2.0" is available. 19:29, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
 * You can only request a username change after being three months on the wiki, which means you can request in August 12. Please don't request before that. 16:20, 27 June 2018 (EDT)

RE:Archive
See this. 16:35, 27 June 2018 (EDT)

RE: IP address
Yes, to check if users are sockpuppeting. Same with the mods on the forums. 22:30, 27 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Can you track IP addresses used by users?Koops - PMTTYD.png Koops  ( message ''') 17:20, 28 June 2018 (EDT)
 * I've just answered that. 21:32, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

RE: Delete file
Done. If you need something deleted, you can just mark it with.

Also, I've noticed you use raw coding when you add your signature. You should create a signature page and place the code there:

Koops  ( message '''

After that, go to your preferences (also found at the top of the screen), and in the text field under "Signature", type in User:Starclimber the NightWing/sig, tick the "Treat signature as wikitext" box and click save at the bottom of the page. Once you've done that, whenever you type  to sign, your signature  comes up, not the individual images and text formatting. 21:32, 28 June 2018 (EDT)


 * You're still leaving raw code when you sign. Did you change your preferences? 21:56, 29 June 2018 (EDT)


 * Done. 21:40, 30 June 2018 (EDT)


 * Still appears to be doing the same thing. Did you type User:Starclimber the NightWing/sig in the text field and tick the "Treat signature as wikitext" box? Continuing to use raw coding for your signature will have it replaced with a standard username signature. 22:36, 30 June 2018 (EDT)


 * Fixed it now. 23:32, 30 June 2018 (EDT)

You's
Hi. Just letting you know, according to the Manual of Style, using "you"s in articles is not allowed. Please use "The Player", "The Character", or "Mario" instead. Thanks! 14:35, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Just to quickly add to this, the only one that should be capitalised is Mario.
 * OK thanks! Koops - PMTTYD.png Koops  ( message ''') 14:57, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
