Tips

  • When editing an article, make sure you use your best possible grammar. We are very serious about grammar, and your edit can be undone if it is poorly written. If you are not sure your edit may turn out the way you want it, trying using the preview button!
  • Need more edits? Try joining a PipeProject, or better, make a project of your own! There are many articles to improve on the Super Mario Wiki, and your hard work will always pay off!
  • When you edit a mainspace article, do not use the word "you". Instead, use words like "the player", "Mario", or other playable characters who pertain to the article. For more information, check out MarioWiki: Manual of Style.
  • Avoid excessively editing your userpage or user talkpages. Though it may be fun to chat with the community, you should try to lend a hand in fixing the Wiki's articles. Also, if you intend to upload personal images, please only upload a total of four, as uploading any more is just a waste of space, and they will get deleted if you are over the limit. If you break any rules, regarding to the userspace, a Userspace Warning may be issued.
  • Make sure you Italicize names of games, TV shows, and movies when editing a mainspace article. You do not have to do this when editing userpages, user talkpages, or regular talkpages. To do this, simply type ''word to italicize''. Then it will appear as word to italicize.


Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it. I hope this information is helpful, and that you'll have a great experience contributing to our knowledge-base and our community. Remember to enjoy your experience here and also have fun! If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask me.
