User talk:MarioManiac1981

The Maniacal Agent: This user joined the Super Mario Wiki as a n00b editor on May 27, 2018, in the effort to expand Toadette's page. This user has been an avid fan of the Mario franchise since he was in kindergarten, and he has been reading the Super Mario Wiki since 2016. The Maniacal Agent's mission to expand Toadette's page was partially successful, though most of his writing turned out to be flowery. Over the course of time, the Maniacal Agent's edits have improved in quality, while he became better at using various editing techniques. Having edited over 40 articles over 1,000 times as of now, MarioManiac1981, our beloved Maniacal Agent, has become a well-meaning, veteran editor with the intention of helping the collaborative database community of the multimedia franchise that millions, including himself, have come to love, thrive and flourish in a rapidly engaging pace.

(How resonating does this paragraph sound? Let me know at the very bottom of my talk page!)

Italics
Hello! Please remember to italicize game titles, which is done my placing two apostrophes on both sides of the name. For example,  becomes Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Also keep in mind that the apostrophes need to be placed outside of link brackets. 12:59, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

Now I know how to italicize game titles. I was initially confused, because I thought that quotation marks were used instead of apostrophes. I've been reading the Super Mario Wiki's articles for 2 years (and I'm an avid fan and devotee to the Mario franchise), but I only decided to become a member 3 days ago, so I'm still new to the editing business and process.

Toadette
Thanks for expanding Toadette's page with some missing information, but a majority of what you are adding appears to be irrelevant, repetitive, or outright fan-worship. The information about Toadette's powers boarders on her already established sections of her roles or from her personality and traits section, and the information on her friends and enemies may be excessive. Please avoid something like this and please read over Good writing and the other policies if you need to. 18:51, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

OK, I'll avoid redundancy and flowery/long-winded writing with excessive details as much as possible. MarioManiac1981 (talk) 22:42, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

How do you create user pages?
I want to know how to create my user page, so I'll be able to express myself, and state my Mario franchise obsession. MarioManiac1981 (talk) 23:26, 29 May 2018 (EDT)


 * Hi. You need to be autoconfirmed to be able to create pages, including your userpage. To reach this status, you must have had an account for at least five days and made at least four edits, so you'll need to wait three more days. 23:32, 29 May 2018 (EDT)

Any evidence regarding what you recently added to the Toadette article?
Specifically this edit here; I haven't run into any confirmed images and such saying that Toadette made a cameo appearance here. Please let me (and others) know as soon as possible; thanks. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 20:08, 3 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Letting you know the information was already listed here. 21:04, 3 June 2018 (EDT)

As mentioned above, I found this piece of information in List of Mario references in third-party video games, but I thought that it'd be important to include in Toadette's main page. MarioManiac1981 (talk) 20:36, 4 June 2018 (EDT)

Glitch
Hi, mind providing a source for this? 13:18, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

Donkey Kong Adventure DLC
Hi. I'm just wondering if anyone is looking for more information regarding Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle's upcoming DLC, because I discovered that lagoon variants of Ziggies, Hoppers, and Smashers exist in the DLC story mode (via gameplay clips on YouTube), and that, a new enemy known as the Collector will appear in the DLC. MarioManiac1981 (talk) 20:52, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

Personalities
Please dial down on going into too much detail with your information on characters' personalities, as much of it borders on subjectivity and still uses flowery writing as you were told above.

Also, can you please provide a source for Yoshi having his Super Dragon Final Smash? If this is speculative or false information, do not add this in again, as it is a warnable offense. 23:02, 2 July 2018 (EDT)

SSB4
Avoid using "Super Smash Bros. 4" or "SSB4" to refer to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, as they are fan terms and not official. 08:06, 7 July 2018 (EDT)

OK, got it!

How do I protect my userpage?
I was just wondering this: how do I protect my userpage? I'm just concerned, because I don't want any shady user to vandalize my page and make a fool out of me. MarioManiac1981 (talk) 18:49, 22 July 2018 (EDT)
 * User pages are protected by default, no need to worry about that. 18:51, 22 July 2018 (EDT)

Do You Like My Userpage?
Hi, fellow editors. I was just wondering if any of you like my userpage. Does it measure up to the wiki's standards? MarioManiac1981 (talk) 22:49, 22 July 2018 (EDT)

How come nobody is answering? MarioManiac1981 (talk) 22:18, 29 July 2018 (EDT)
 * I guess it's all right, but if you want honest appraisal, it's uh... a bland list. Let's start on something: what's your opinion on the games you've played? 20:54, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
 * Yo, Bazooka! I followed your advice, and made an entire section devoted to my opinion on certain Mario games. Feel free to check my userpage, and tell me if I can further improve it. MarioManiac1981 (talk)
 * Better. You think your userspace can have images? Oh, have you considered a userbox tower? 18:12, 1 August 2018 (EDT)

You're making too many consecutive userspace edits over a course of several days. In the future, please try to make your changes in one big edit, rather than multiple smaller edits, as the latter tends to clog the recent changes page. Thanks! 09:06, 1 August 2018 (EDT)

Subjects in upcoming games
When adding a section on an upcoming game, it's a good idea to tag it with  to let readers know that more information will be added as the release date draws closer. 01:27, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

King K. Rool in Ultimate = Answering Fan Requests
Hey, guys! Are any of you happy that Nintendo is finally listening to their fans by including King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? How many of you laud King K. Rool's return to video games, and how many of you are appalled by his presence? MarioManiac1981 (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2018 (EDT)

Tip
Hey, just a friendly tip. If you want to have your userpage track the number of your edits, you can tag it with , which will turn into the number of your edits (i. e. ). 20:26, 16 August 2018 (EDT)

Interwiki links
In the future, please check any that any interwiki links you add work before leaving them. 21:47, 4 September 2018 (EDT)

Poltergust G-00
While the Poltergust G-00 looks good so far, I don't recall the name from anywhere. I probably missed a trailer of some kind. Where you got the name from should be used as a reference. 16:28, 30 November 2018 (EST)
