User talk:MetaKnightmare666

Hi, you seem to be new around here, and I noticed your edits to the Huffin Puffin page, so I thought I'd be a friendly neighborhood AwdryFan and give a few pointers to ensure you enjoy your career here. And that's it from me! Enjoy your time here! And, just a suggestion, but looking at the list of blocked users, the wiki seems to have a policy against the number 666 in usernames. I'd recommend changing it, just to be safe. For further details, the wiki has articles on these rules, I just wanted to share the basics and give an introduction. Have fun! - AwdryFan1997 (talk) 22:51, July 1, 2020 (EDT)
 * Don't make jokes on articles. Unlike The Cutting Room Floor, MarioWiki needs you to write in an encyclopediac manner. Likewise, don't share your opinions on the articles themselves. Use your user page for that sort of thing.
 * Use correct grammar and spelling. That's a given. It's okay to make mistakes, and it's likely someone will clean up after you eventually, but try to not do it in the first place.
 * Don't write about topics you don't know about. Once, I tried to rewrite the Donkey Kong article (I'm still pretty sure it needs a rewrite, that article is a complete and utter mess), despite admittedly not being very on the subject. Though, I will say, for future reference, the original Donkey Kong from the arcade games is not the same one from the Donkey Kong Country series. The original is now named Cranky Kong, as clearly stated since the first DKC.
 * This wiki operates under the philosophy that the Mario series has no continuity. While I completely disagree, that is how the Wiki operates.
 * Do not make articles about non-Mario content. To clarify, this wiki makes articles about Super Smash Bros. (not a Mario game by any means, but sure, whatever) and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. So, there are articles for the Fire Emblem characters, but only the ones in Smash (Marth, Red Marth, Big Sword Marth, Female Marth, Magic Book Marth, Barefoot Marth, Female Marth's Dad, and The Marth That Ruined Fire Emblem's Reputation And Forced Everyone To Buy More DLC) and ONLY discussing their appearances in Smash. Likewise, we can only cover the Sonic the Hedgehog characters that appear in Mario & Sonic, and only their roles in those games. At the end of the day, don't make articles about Master Chief or crap like that.
 * Be civil. Do not harass others. If an administrator tells you to jump, you ask how high on the way up. Common courtesy.
 * Do not use this wiki if you are under 13. Not sure if this is an official rule, but it is the law in many countries.
 * And most importantly, USE COMMON SENSE.
 * And, while I'm at it, don't get the idea that I'm credible or anything. I frankly have absolutely no right to write any of this stuff. Basically, welcome to the wiki, and I hope you enjoy it. - AwdryFan1997 (talk) 21:05, July 2, 2020 (EDT)

Remember to preview
When editing a link with, or just any edit in general, please preview it before submitting. This immediately tells you if any links are broken (red) or if they work (blue) e.g. red vs Wario Land II. If the link is broken, look for the article manually to find the correct name. If it's blue, open it up in a new tab (right click, "Open link in new tab") to check it leads to the right place, including if it had to redirect e.g. Wario Land 2 leads to Wario Land II, and per the writing standards, should be changed to minimise redirection. Also be aware the links are case sensitive e.g. Wario Land II vs red. The preview also gives you another opportunity to proofread, so its just useful in general. This is all to prevent multiple bad edits where one is needed. Mistakes happen a lot when you're new at editing wiki pages, so don't feel too bad about it, I'm just giving you useful info. Pallukun (talk) 17:25, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

Please read Help:Link on how to correctly add a link. Special:Interwiki provides a list of prefixes to use for outside wikis, including a Zelda Wiki. 21:22, October 4, 2020 (EDT)

Uploads
When uploading files next time, please keep in mind that they should be filled in with file information including a license and category. I noticed you used the image uploader from the editing textbox, but I suggest going to Special:Upload (the "Upload file" link under "tools" on the navigation pane) to do this as it's easier. When you do, the "aboutfile" should be filled out, " " should be replaced with an appropriate image category from Category:MarioWiki images (so for a Wario Land image, you'd follow the subcategory "Images by game" and find "Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 Images", so you'd type in ), and a license is selected from the "Licensing" drop-down menu (in this case, "Video game screenshot").

Regarding the "before/after" level links, they are based on their positions on the map and which exits lead to where, not numerical order.

Last thing, please try to watch your grammar, specifically when to use commas and periods. 23:54, October 11, 2020 (EDT)

"You"
Avoid using "you" on articles. Instead, we use the term "the player" or the character's name. 20:27, November 11, 2020 (EST)
 * Just leaving a note on here to remind you that you're still doing it, and you need to stop that. Keyblade Master (talk) 11:32, January 31, 2021 (EST)

G&W Lost Levels
Everything that concerns the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. version of Lost Levels is on that article. Next time you see something you added was reverted, please check the article's history (the "history" tab at the top of the page) as a reason might have been left when it was removed. 23:49, November 17, 2020 (EST)

Standard frames
Can you please point me to this "standard" frame in the original Luigi's Mansion? As far as I know there are only three frames: bronze, silver and gold. Is it possible you're confusing this with the 3DS version (which adds a platinum frame while the bronze frames are the sketch drawings you mentioned)? 00:09, December 2, 2020 (EST)

ok so i'm gonna give it to you straight, I misunderstood the frame stylings in that game until yesterday, apparently i had the silver frame for Slim Bankshot and didn't even realize it WAS the silver one, i thought that it was a totally different frame, i'll take the punch on this one, i apologize about the misunderstanding

Xth level
Indicating it's the 24th, 25th etc. level is not necessary, readers can look at the level codes and world/level lists for that. 19:48, December 30, 2020 (EST)

Writing
Please keep in mind that game titles must be italicised (e.g. Super Mario World must be formatted as Super Mario World, two apostrophes on each side: ).

Your grammar also still needs work. Remember to end sentences with periods, and avoid s and use periods when starting a new sentence, not commas. For example, "This was meant to be a full on reference to Super Mario World." is a separate sentence and shouldn't use a comma joining to the previous statement.

I recommend reading through Manual of Style. 19:37, January 9, 2021 (EST)

Please work on your edits more. Not only were they missing the pointers above:
 * Don't use this style of writing on articles ("if he doesn't make it by then.... it's back to the beginning for him!"). This is an encyclopedia, so your information should be written more professionally than this, in a more neutral tone (so something like "If Wario does not reach the end by then, he must start over from the beginning."). This should have also been a new sentence, not joined with a comma.
 * Don't abbreviate game titles as "SMB". This is also unprofessional and should be written in full and italicised (Super Mario Bros.).

I suggest going over Good writing as well, and please consider checking out Help:Contents and don't hesitate to ask if you need help. 21:32, January 17, 2021 (EST)

Source
Please source the information that you found on Scrubbing Sirena Beach. 18:28, January 14, 2021 (EST)

Scrubbing Sirena Beach
Please don't just put previously reverted edits back without saying anything, especially after the one reverting your edit is asking you something about it or have given a valid reason. Do you at least have clarification that the glitch in Scrubbing Sirena Beach happens in the original GameCube version as well?

Yes i do actually, i have experienced it on the actual gamecube cd before, it's only happened like once or twice that i can remember but it is in it, it's just extremely rare
 * Very well then, you should have said that in your edit summary when putting the edit back. And sign your comments with ~.

Alrighty thanks a bunch, i forgot there even was an edit summary there, it was a busy day then anyway for me. ~
 * The "nowiki" code was only there so it would display what you put when signing your comment. That doesn't need to be there when signing your comments, it's just the four ~.

Warning
You were already reminded multiple times about writing. You're still forgetting to italicise titles, and don't use the word "you" on articles. Keep our writing guidelines in mind when editing.

This edit also doesn't make sense at all. Again, you need to be mindful of your grammar; writing like this makes it difficult for readers to understand what the information is saying, and not how an encyclopedia is written.

Finally, please stop linking instances of "Donkey Kong" referring to the original arcade character to Cranky Kong. To avoid confusing users not familiar with that technicality, information on the Donkey Kong character by name are covered on Donkey Kong and so should link there. 23:04, January 31, 2021 (EST)

Appeals
You are not allowed to appeal warnings given by admins. Read the warning font. If it's something you want to discuss with the specific admin, contact them directly. Do not continue to readd your appeal. 20:19, February 1, 2021 (EST)

"There is nothing to show that I was in the wrong" I've already linked instances that went against guidelines that were pointed out to you below the warning. 20:22, February 1, 2021 (EST)

Which they were completely invalid! There is nothing in that list that can hold me to those guidelines that I did wrong! MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 20:23, February 1, 2021 (EST)

The links show the edits you made. What list are you referring to?

Also, don't make edits anonymously to try to hide your identity; admins are still able to tell which user it is. Continue to re-add the appeal and another warning will be issued. 20:28, February 1, 2021 (EST)

Read our manual of style, you'll find the guidelines you're looking for there. 20:29, February 1, 2021 (EST)

Have and there is still nothing to hold against me with that, so the warning issued is completely invalid. MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 20:31, February 1, 2021 (EST)
 * It's valid. Go over your Writing and Warning sections again for further info. 20:32, February 1, 2021 (EST)

The hell it is valid, there is still NOTHING in there that'll prove where it is! MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 20:36, February 1, 2021 (EST)


 * Check the links properly before resorting to language. I'll link them again:


 * Special:Diff/3115039 and Special:Diff/3115318 went against Manual of Style
 * Special:Diff/3115115 went against Manual of Style


 * Both of which you were already reminded for. 20:40, February 1, 2021 (EST)
 * I'll also link you to Good_writing and MarioWiki:Courtesy. 20:42, February 1, 2021 (EST)

They were not valid then, and they aren't now. There is still no way in hell I am in the wrong here. MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 20:43, February 1, 2021 (EST)
 * What was never valid? No offense, but all I see is strong evidence that you're clearly not following our policy. It's not hard to follow. Besides, we're here to help you, not to punish you in the slightest. Also, I'm going to link to this policy page that may show you why you were deserving of a warning in the first place. 02:26, February 2, 2021 (EST)

There isn't, and I am going to fight this from now til hell comes a ringing, there is NOTHING there to hold me against that! MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 08:14, February 2, 2021 (EST)
 * Have you actually been reading anything that has ever been said to you on this page? I can tell you're freaking out over the warning, and you really shouldn't. I have had a warning once myself before, so I know that feeling, but you are supposed to learn from it, not try to fight against it. All you need to do is stop being delusional about this and start following the guideline pages that have been repeatedly linked here and you will be fine. Keyblade Master (talk) 08:51, February 2, 2021 (EST)

Alright Keyblade, I understand it coming from you, thanks a bunch. MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 09:00, February 2, 2021 (EST)

Last warning
After numerous reminders you're still not following writing guidelines (Trampoline edit - using the word "you" and not formatting game titles properly), and your grammar has still not improved. Please work on improving your edits. 06:04, February 17, 2021 (EST)

This is the second goddamn time you've given me a warning for something that's totally uncalled for the warning! From how you're acting it's not even possible you're even an admin, cause you're doing this where your administrative style is outta line so much it's ridiculous! MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 06:59, February 17, 2021 (EST)
 * Stop throwing a tantrum over this and actually read this entire page and every link, and you'll see that the warnings are perfectly called for. These warnings may even have been decided among the admins too. 07:09, February 17, 2021 (EST)
 * It was not uncalled for. You were notified many times of these rules and I already just linked proof of your not following them still. We're not going through this again; stop alleging there's nothing wrong with your edits when there's evidence showing otherwise. 07:10, February 17, 2021 (EST)

There is none, this is where you're abusing your "Administrative" privilages if you really are an administrator, cause the reason this was given is something completely uncalled for. Mario Jc I doubt seriously you're even an admin or a patroller of this site with how you abuse this stuff. MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 07:14, February 17, 2021 (EST)
 * Your entire contribution history is full of evidence that anyone can see. 07:15, February 17, 2021 (EST)

In which it proves where he's in the wrong not me, and this is definitely going to be fought against, cause Mario JC isn't even one of the two that I can't do an appeal with cause he's way too abusive of this stuff and shouldn't even let it be happening at all! MetaKnightmare666 (talk) 07:18, February 17, 2021 (EST)

Multiple users have told you to stop (claiming you did nothing wrong and forcing appeals after they've been taken down numerous times), and you persist. You're now under a two-week block from editing. I suggest reading Courtesy and our rules and guidelines thoroughly and improving your attitude by the time you return. If such posts persist further, your talk page-editing rights will be revoked for the block period as well. 07:32, February 17, 2021 (EST)

@Mario jc: Do you think if they continue doing this after the block expires, will you make it indefinite? 07:42, 22 February 2021 (EST)

He has been blocked now and I miss him. 107.146.244.150 19:36, July 14, 2021 (EDT)
