User talk:Green Star

Hello! Welcome to my talk page!

Wiggly Wiggler
Hello. Is an older account of yours? If so, it's been a while since you edited, so if you've forgotten your password or something, let me know. 19:49, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

We need you to answer this as soon as possible. You're not in trouble, we just need to know (it's an old account, so we can understand if you've lost access to it). 08:45, April 5, 2019 (EDT)


 * Yes, actually, that is my old account, though I've forgotten the password for it. Thanks for letting me know. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 08:49, April 5, 2019 (EDT)


 * Okay, thank you for the response. Please remember to keep access to this account, as it's your third one after and .  09:07, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

I certainly will. Are there any articles that I could be working on? --WigglyWiggler (talk) 09:24, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's totally up to you. 15:52, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

Sounds good. I'll just be working on some stubs then or some articles in need of expansion. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 15:55, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

Mario & Luigi series items
Please don't add that to pages, that is intended to be a container category for the item categories for specific games. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:29, May 9, 2019 (EDT)

Categories
Please read over Categories, specifically the "Placement on articles" section. For series categories like "Mario & Luigi Series Items", you don't add them if there is already a more specific category for its appearance (e.g. Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Items), as this creates category redundancy. Only place them if no game-specific type category exists for it, but you'd add the overall game category as well (e.g. say Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Items doesn't exist; you would then add Category:Mario & Luigi Series Items and Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story). Make sure you remember to categorise the category as well. 21:55, May 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, don't add categories just to remove them after. -- 08:29, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

Conversely, if you're adding Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey Items to an article, you remove the other less specific ones ("Mario & Luigi Series Items" and "Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey"). You also forgot to categorise the category, as Alex95 has done for you. Please keep these in mind next time. 02:46, May 11, 2019 (EDT)


 * Okay, I think I get it now. You can add categories to a page, but only if there isn't a more specific category I can put them in; for example, "Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Species" instead of just "Mario & Luigi Series Species". You also organize the categories by putting them in order of importance. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 12:55, May 12, 2019 (EDT)

What do you mean by "category deleted"? The category Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Items still exists. 16:46, May 12, 2019 (EDT)


 * Sorry, I put the wrong thing. I meant to get rid of the link to that category and put it in the category Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Special Items along with Mushroom Tea and Scratch Card, as they are not really something you can collect or hold onto in your inventory. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 16:57, May 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ah, that can just be done in the same edit. You can even just add "Special" into the category that's already there to change it. 17:01, May 12, 2019 (EDT)

The type part ("Items", "Special Items" etc.) isn't taken into account when ordering categories of different games alphabetically. So "Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey Special Items" would go after "Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Special Items". 21:25, May 12, 2019 (EDT)

Before creating categories, please keep the last bullet point under "Size and scope" in mind. There's no need to go out of your way to create categories for only a handful of subjects that would fit in them. 02:39, June 10, 2019 (EDT)

M&LBIS+BJJ List of changes
I've already explained my reasoning here. What you're doing misorganises the information. If you notice your edits aren't there anymore, you should check the article's history page before simply making them again; repeatedly doing so without any reason for it is considered edit warring and will lead a warning. If you wish to split the "visual changes" or "audio changes" sections down, do it there; don't move the content to "gameplay changes". Otherwise please add your points without incorrectly changing the placement of the others. 02:24, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

Categories for templates
Hi, just letting you know that even navigation templates such as the one you recently created need categories. When you make future navigation templates, you must add the following at the end:  Thanks! 13:07, May 20, 2019 (EDT)


 * Ok, thank you. That is good to know. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 15:51, May 20, 2019 (EDT)

Paper Jam story
I understand you're working on rewriting Paper Jam's story, but you shouldn't outright replace an already complete with one that you haven't finished yet yourself. This results in loss of information, something you did twice on Stuffwell, so please be careful. Until it's done, keep it on a Word document or a personal sandbox (User:WigglyWiggler/sandbox). Here was the revision if you need to copy the text.

As an unrelated editing tip, piping links into plural forms like  is unnecessary; you can simply place the "s" after the link , which is much faster and works the same way, unless it's something like   where the base word's spelling is different in plural. 08:11, May 23, 2019 (EDT)

Just saying thanks for letting us know :) 19:07, May 26, 2019 (EDT)

Yarrctopus
You edit sniped by creating a page he was working on in his sandbox, which is against the courtesy policy. Thanks! 15:18, June 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, if an article has no images, you can use on an article to request an image be added. If the article already has one or more images, you can use .  15:22, June 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Did he know it was in his sandbox? If they don't look alike, that's an unreasonable accusation. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:24, June 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah that is not "edit sniping" by any definition. Anyways, the proper plurals for "octopus" are "octopuses" or "octopodes." "Octopi" is incorrect from any perspective. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:37, June 8, 2019 (EDT)

Oh, hello. My sandbox is very huge, so I'm likely to take a while on some articles when focusing on others in it. If you have something to add to something in it, you can let me know in my talk page I usually don't mind if an article I'm working on in there gets created; I'm most likely to have something to add to the article from my sandbox (for example, I just added a tiny infobox to the Yarrctopus article).

Sandboxes
Great job on the projects in your sandbox! I would just like you to know that if an article is in my sandbox, that doesn't completely restrict you from working on it. "Edit sniping" would be copy/pasting my work and claiming it as yours. You can always ask me if you can start working on anything I've made no progress on. You can also create certain sections for the articles and suggest for me to merge it into my sandbox, or I can do the same for yours. 11:26, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thank you! Working on some new scraps for Paper Mario: Sticker Star. I like your new signature. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 11:29, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

Scrap articles
Might want to take a look at this. I don't think we're making articles for Scraps. 16:41, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, you are not allowed to have notice templates (construction, more images, etc.) on your sandbox, so please remove them. 16:42, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I didn't know that, either. I'll remove them from mine, too. 17:42, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

Signature
Sorry, you're only allowed one GIF in your signature. 22:36, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * Just fixed it. -- 07:32, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
