Articles

When making new articles, please add as much available information to it as you can, rather than just one or two sentences and leave it to someone else. The Beach (room) article is fine, though there may be more to it. But Elevator Hall (The Dance Hall) and Scale Chamber were deleted for being too short.

Also, you shouldn't leave sections empty. 17:53, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

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.

Hi, when creating articles, be sure to put in as much information and effort as possible, as the two articles that you created did not follow that example. Thank you. ^(T|C) 17:54, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Can you help me finish creating the rest of the pages for these rooms please?

Remember to sign your comments with four ~s. I have not played LM3 yet, so I can't help. DarkNight 17:59, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Also, please don't leave any empty sections in articles. DarkNight 18:05, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

What empty spaces? Which one needs to be filled in? Also how do I sign in? User:LgndKing/sig 18:10, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

*coughs* You're already signed in to your account; the Names in other languages section. DarkNight 18:15, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

To add: "names in other languages" sections are usually reserved for interlanguage names (AKA, names for the subject other than in English). ^(T|C) 18:17, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

BTW, have you actually verified the German interlanguage names with a German copy of the game? ^(T|C) 18:37, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

I have to fill in the "names in other languages" sections after I create the page. User:LgndKing/sig 18:39, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

No you don't. You should leave it be if you don't know or aren't sure. ^(T|C) 18:42, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Remember to tag it with {{image}} if it doesn't have an image yet. If you need a sig, go to MarioWiki: Signatures. DarkNight 18:45, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

It's ok, I'm using Google Translation, not a problem. I will add images later, I can't do it in one edit, also I don't know how. User:LgndKing/sig 18:45, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Google Translate is not a reliable source. The interlanguage names are specifically meant to be taken from interlanguage versions of the game(s). ^(T|C) 18:48, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Ok, I didn't know. I guess I'll leave it blank for now, because English is my only Language User:LgndKing/sig 18:48, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

What do you mean "I don't know how."? DarkNight 18:54, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

I don't know how to add images User:LgndKing/sig 18:55, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Go to Special: Upload. DarkNight 19:00, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

K, thanks User:LgndKing/sig 19:01, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

You are still adding a "Names in other languages" header with nothing beneath it. If you are using copy-paste for the articles, please redo the copied material to remove the header. 22:03, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

No I'm not Alex95, I don't have to if I'm not sure sure. Chill User:LgndKing/sig 22:04, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

I'm not sure what you mean. Regardless, if you don't have anything to put in a section, the section header should not be there. 22:09, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

I'm not adding a "Names in other languages" header anymore, Toadette the Achiever said I don't have to add if I'm not sure. So chill Alex95. User:LgndKing/sig 22:11, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

First of all, tone down the rudeness. I'm only trying to help.

Second, I did remove the headers from your recent page creations even after you were told not to add them. I'm just letting you know they were still there. 22:15, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

Then Chill Alex95, u seem tense. It's my first day and ur already blowing up on me.User:LgndKing/sig 22:22, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

First days are always hard. Sorry, not trying to seem like I'm coming down on you, just noticed some mistakes and letting you know about them so they can be corrected in the future. For further guidance, you can take a look at the topics at Help:Contents. 22:27, September 2, 2020 (EDT)

You don't have to ask everyone when there are onlt two more articles to create. You can do it! DarkNight 00:00, September 3, 2020 (EDT)

No, there more than two articles, its only 10 left. Also, some pages need more info too User:LgndKing/sig 00:40, September 3, 2020 (EDT)

I was just giving you encouragement... Insulting other users, especially admins, is against MarioWiki: Courtesy, also removing talk page comments could result on a two week block.DarkNight 19:35, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Don't remove comments on your talk page, that is not allowed. Nightwicked Bowser

I'm done, I'll do whatever it takes to remove my account from this site. User:LgndKing/sig 19:48, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Your account can't be deleted, it can only be blocked. DarkNight 19:51, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

you can just ask Porplemontage (talk) for your account to be deleted (it's a relatively new feature here) instead of trying to get yourself blocked. There are better ways to go about this. TheDarkStar 19:55, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

I don't recommend it though. Just ask to get blocked indefinitely. DarkNight 19:56, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Uploads

Hello, LgndKing. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups: Images Audio/video files Company images Film images Game images Merchandise images Publication images System images Television series images Website images Company media files Film media files Game media files Merchandise media files Publication media files System media files Television series media files Website media files When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]] or [[Category:Super Mario World media files]] Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, LgndKing. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded coding is shown below. {{aboutfile |1=Subject of the image |2=Where you found the image |3=Artist |4=Describe edits, if any |5=Other versions (use file link) }} Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line of the variable(s) you don't use. If you do not wish to use the template at all, then it is acceptable to simply remove it before you upload the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, LgndKing. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common: {{game-screenshot}} - Used for game screenshots. {{game-sprite}} - Used for game sprites. {{game-3Drender}} - Used for game models. {{game-cover}} - Used for game box art. {{character-artwork}} - Used for artwork of a character. {{game-logo}} - Used for a game's logo. {{logo}} - Used for other logos. {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects. {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character. {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic. {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books. {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows. {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies. {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube. {{dvd-cover}} - Used for box art of DVDs. {{vhs-cover}} - Used for box art of VHSes. {{album-cover}} - Used for box art of music albums. {{poster}} - Used for promotional posters. {{music-sample}} - Used for music files. {{sound-clip}} - Used for sound effects. {{video-clip}} - Used for video files. When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please read the above reminders; your images shouldn't be uploaded without filling in any information. This is an example of what to do. Mario JC 22:30, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Be sure also to remove {{image}} from the article once you've added an image. Mario JC 22:33, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

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.

Do not ignore these reminders and rush getting the images out without filling in their details. I know you're removing the image notices but you're not adding descriptions, categories and licenses. Mario JC 22:40, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Thank you. Categories just need to be in square brackets ([[Category:Luigi's Mansion 3 Images]] not {{Category:Luigi's Mansion 3 Images}}), and remember to select "Video game screenshot" from the licensing drop-down menu. Mario JC 22:51, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Yea Whatever, Mr. Volcano. It's my first time A'ight, I don't know any better.User:LgndKing/sig 22:52, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Watch your attitude. It's because it's your first time that you're being given advice. And you're still not using square brackets for images and adding licenses. Mario JC 23:00, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

Telling us to "chill" does not excuse the fact that you are still doing this incorrectly. Read and implement the information carefully. 23:02, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

You watch ur attitude Mister. I say chill whenever you're not chill. At least I finished every single unfinished rooms in Luigi's Mansion 3, and I don't care what you do. So C.H.I.L.L, Chill.

Hello, you have been blocked for two weeks. You have been warned multiple times to not edit war with other users; if you have an issue with an edit, either bring it up on the article's talk page or on another user's talk page. In addition, edit summaries are not to be used to belittle or insult other users, which on top of your past history and infractions, was also taken account into your block.

Header capitalisation

Words in section and table headers that aren't proper nouns should not be capitalised (unless it's the first word), so "Level Appearances" should be "level appearances". This also applies to anything that doesn't have an official capitalised name ("Rising Water", "Pillar Dirt Trap" etc. shouldn't be capitalised).

Also, make sure links use the current article title ("Flashing Shell" should be "Shell (flashing)", but it can be piped to change the display text: [[Shell (flashing)|Flashing shell]]). Linking to the castle levels like "#1 Iggy's Castle" also doesn't work because "#" is used in wiki code to link to a section on a page (e.g. #Articles links to the first post on this talk page). The castle articles omit the "#" in the title, so the article is 1 Iggy's Castle and the link should be linked like: [[1 Iggy's Castle|#1 Iggy's Castle]]. Mario JC 09:53, August 25, 2022 (EDT)

Yes sir. User:LgndKing/sig 10:35, August 25, 2022 (EDT)

---

You should also be aware of section levels when adding new sections (the number of equal signs when typing them in). If you look at Help:Editing#Sections, paragraphs, lists, and lines, sections with more equal signs are direct sub-sections of the section before it, so something related to Super Mario World on an enemy page, like a "List of level appearances" section, should be one level under the "Super Mario World" section:

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
=====List of level appearances=====

So two equal signs (==List of level appearances==) is incorrect, because this doesn't put it under "Super Mario World", and it wrongly treats every other section on the article under it as part of this section.

Similarly, "Traps and obstacles" on the Origami King page are not "other species", so it should be its own section rather than a sub-section:

==Enemies==

==Other species==

==Traps and obstacles==

Again, don't capitalise non-proper nouns in headings, so "Obstacles" should be "obstacles". However, "Paper Mistake" (from Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle) and "Dry Bones" are names, so these should be capitalised, not lowercase. Mario JC 02:29, August 29, 2022 (EDT)

You're still capitalising normal nouns in headers and titles. "Objects" should not be in capitals. Mario JC 03:23, April 21, 2023 (EDT)

SPP stages

Hey, just so you know, the 7th, 8th, and 9th stages in each world are actually bonus stages that can only be accessed once Bowser is beaten, affecting how they would be listed for an entity's first or last appearance in them. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:07, March 28, 2023 (EDT)

Wario Land 3's Enemy First Appearances and Last Appearances

I'm curious about something: have you played Wario Land 3? The reason I am asking this is due to the addition of the "First appearance" and "Last appearance" columns in the enemy section. From what I see, the criteria on what a first level is is just the first level in the order, and likewise for the last level, without factoring in when the enemy is able to be encountered by the order of the levels and treasures in which they are unlocked.

Wario Land 3 is a non-linear game, more so than pretty much every other Wario Land game, so the order in which the levels are tackled is not set. As an example, The Warped Void is always unlocked after Forest of Fear, which would technically make it the last level, even though Forest of Fear is the last level in level order. Even then, Above the Clouds (Wario Land 3) can also be unlocked after The Warped Void, which might not make either Forest of Fear or The Warped Void the last level (this notably affects the bird enemies). For an example of an enemy, there is the Doughnuteer. The area that you encounter the Doughnuteer in Out of the Woods can't be accessed in the beginning even though it is technically the first level you unlocked, while they are encountered normally in The Peaceful Village, which makes it their true first appearance. Since Out of the Woods can also be the last level you play (the Doughnuteer is in the Blue Chest area, which is the last one you unlock before you can battle the final boss), doesn't that basically mean Doughnuteer appears in Out of the Woods last? Another example are the snakes. They are unlocked simultaneously in three different levels after you get a necessary treasure, where previously only the pots appear in those levels, so their first appearances are actually in three levels that you previously unlocked instead of just The Peaceful Village.

My point here is that even first and last appearances is muddied if you take into account the game's non-linearity.

I understand that you want to help out, but I think that for this game, it's not quite accurate to give enemies a first and last appearance when the level order you tackle is not linear. Maybe only the first appearance can be listed, but it should be done with an understanding of how the levels are unlocked and which part of the area is unlocked to allow those enemies to be encountered.

Star Piece Cluster in SMG

Howdy! Thanks for contributing to the Mario 64 and Galaxy pages, and the great work you've done overall. I've been taking screenshots of the game's objects through noclip.website, but I cannot track down a Star Piece Cluster. Do you remember where they appear in Mario Galaxy? I know they show up, I just cannot remember where exactly and they aren't as common as they are in SMG2. Our own articles on the wiki don't explicitly mention where they show up either. No worries if you don't know - just thought I'd ask. Thanks again! - Nintendo101 (talk) 12:30, April 21, 2023 (EDT)

Enemy lists

I would avoid adding a black background to a cell to distinguish bosses from enemies, as this makes the blue link underneath hard to read. Mario JC 11:56, April 27, 2023 (EDT)

Tide

Where are you getting the (fully capitalized) names from? And what's the source for the solid yellow SMW rocks being "sand?" Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:28, July 5, 2023 (EDT)

Italics

Hello, LgndKing! Thanks for your contributions. When writing titles for media like games, films, TV shows, and publications, please remember to italicize them. This is done by placing two straight apostrophes (not quotation marks or curly apostrophes) on both sides of the title, or clicking on the I icon above the text box and typing out the title. For example, typing out ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generates Super Mario Bros.

Mario JC 21:10, July 5, 2023 (EDT)

Obstacle articles

Please cite sources for the names of the obstacles you're creating articles for. There was even a cited name for "moving sand" in Galaxy that you changed to "speedy" without a different source. If the name comes from another article, check first if it's official or just conjectural/descriptive.

Also, remember to add any available navigation templates above the categories. Mario JC 22:26, July 5, 2023 (EDT)

Fossil float and water lift

Hey, so what are these two supposed to be? They're not duplicates of Skull Rafts and floating island platforms, are they? If not, where do they appear? I genuinely don't recall from the descriptions. LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:48, July 21, 2023 (EDT)

Citations

Read MarioWiki:Citations for how to properly cite sources. References aren't added like this:

<ref name=URL/>

Make sure you check the reference number links you're adding; if you do, you'll see this doesn't work. The format should go like this (for YouTube videos):

<ref name=Video1>Uploader (Upload date). [URL Videotitle]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved edit date.

Example:

<ref name=SMBWDirect>Nintendo of America (August 31, 2023). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0m_uNaSres Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct 8.31.2023]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 2, 2023.</ref>

Then if you want to cite the same source multiple times, you just type:

<ref name=Video1/>

The reference name ("Video1") can be named whatever you want, as long as it's not used by another source on the article, it fits the reference, and it's the same every time the source is used. Mario JC 22:09, October 14, 2023 (EDT)

I found the source, I tried using the youtube source citation you sent me. I don't know what I went wrong. User:LgndKing/sig 23:31, October 14, 2023 (EDT)

Nevermind, I figured it out. User:LgndKing/sig 23:36, October 14, 2023 (EDT)

Asterisk

The point of the asterisk is so it's placed next to the name, and like the note at the top of the "items and objects" sections says, it's for new elements only. Mario JC 21:26, November 21, 2023 (EST)
