Trivia
This also goes for your anonymous edits: Please read through Trivia before adding such information to articles; try to check through the article first to see if it's already been mentioned, and if not, see if it should be incorporated in the main body itself instead of adding it as trivia. 06:12, March 29, 2020 (EDT)

This edit, too. Not only is it the wrong way around (Mario Kart DS came after Super Mario 64) but this sort of information would go in the main article itself. Also, please keep in mind that game titles should be italicised, as I've just done (see Manual of Style). 20:16, March 29, 2020 (EDT)

Umm I want to know... I don't know how to make a user page. Elijah Guy (talk) 14:58, April 5, 2020 (EDT)
 * You will be able to make your userpage once you are autoconfirmed. Looking at your contributions, you just need to make one more edit. Try not to focus too much on your page, though! 15:08, April 5, 2020 (EDT)

Re. the Super Bell Hill edit: If you're not sure why your edit was deleted, check the article's history page (the "history" tab at the top of the page). You were asked to be more specific with the point (and preferably with a source if it's an off-camera element). 21:17, April 5, 2020 (EDT)

Ok so now I can make a user page. Can you help me again im not sure what to do. Elijah Guy (talk) 21:21, April 5, 2020 (EDT)


 * Just click on your username in the signature or the "user page" tab at the top of the page and you should be able to start creating the page. 21:26, April 5, 2020 (EDT)

Yay Ok! Thanks for the help! :D Elijah Guy (talk) 21:31, April 5, 2020 (EDT)

Ok I made part of my page! Elijah Guy (talk) 22:05, April 5, 2020 (EDT)

Please stop putting "There is an invisible pool of water" without anything else on the Super Bell Hill page. That is way too vague. Where is this pool of water in the level? How does it work? In what way is it invisible? You need to address things like this before putting that back, and address them within the point. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:32, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

Umm im not sure how to upload a picture... Im on mobile.... Elijah Guy (talk) 17:34, April 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * You don't need to upload a picture, just type it out. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:38, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

Is there any thing that I can edit? Something for a beginner??? Elijah Guy (talk) 17:39, April 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * You can edit anything you want, just look around. Just please don't be vague with what you say. People need to know what you mean. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:41, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

Ah ok. Elijah Guy (talk) 17:44, April 6, 2020 (EDT)
 * OK, for starters, don't revert edits constantly, please. How about you wait until you can log on with an actual computer, all right? Then it should be easy to upload a file. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:12, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

Ok is there anything else that can help me? Like some things for editing or something? Elijah Guy (talk) 21:11, April 6, 2020 (EDT)


 * Help:Contents should have some pointers on whatever you need. You should still be able to upload on mobile if you go to Special:Upload. 21:21, April 6, 2020 (EDT)


 * You're also still adding useless trivia. Please re-read my first two messages above. 22:22, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

Double Cherry Pass
Regarding your edit:
 * You don't need to bold certain names. Only the article's title in the opening paragraph is bolded.
 * Avoid using the word "you"; instead, use "the player" or the characters' names.

Overall, be sure to proofread large edits like this and correct any spelling and grammatical mistakes you may have made (improper capitalisation, missing periods etc.) before hitting "Save".

A lot of what you need to know when writing is found on Manual of Style and Good writing. 20:51, April 7, 2020 (EDT)

Ah ok. I think I did almost good on this. I also hound out how to ''Itcalize words Elijah Guy (talk) 20:55, April 7, 2020 (EDT)
 * Yup, just remember to put two more of those on the end of the words you wanna italicize. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:00, April 7, 2020 (EDT)

Talk Pages
...are not forums. Your opinions on NSLU are better suited for forums - more to the point, talk pages are for discussions directly related to the article itself, rather than its subject per se. -- 13:56, April 9, 2020 (EDT)


 * I'm going to ask again that you not scroll right past the template explaining exactly why talk pages are not a substitute for forums, which I will so helpfully link here, and remind you that the intent of talk pages are for discussing the article, e.g. ways to improve it, what it should cover, et cetera. Thank you. -- 23:58, April 9, 2020 (EDT)

Reminder
Stop making forum talk comments. Your comments have been removed multiple times already for this reason. If you want to chat about the game, go to the Mario Boards. 00:05, April 10, 2020 (EDT)

Construction Template
To clarify, the construction template is only for mainspace articles, as it adds them to the construction category- it's an official maintenance category, so it shouldn't contain userpages. It is actually a rule on the template's page. However, if you would like to have the box there, you can copy the raw code minus the category from that page I've just linked and put it straight on your userpage. BBQ Turtle (talk) 12:14, April 10, 2020 (EDT)

"Raw code" as in the source code for the design of the template itself. You need to switch to desktop mode to see it but here it is:

 This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

You're free to change the notice text for your userpage. 09:31, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

I improvised! Added my own version. Elijah Guy (talk) 09:33, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

Toad Trainworks
The information you are giving for Toad Trainworks is vague at best, and is poorly written with spelling mistakes. If your edit is reverted, and you are told to not add it back, don't add it back. Find as much information about the area as you can, or wait for someone else to do it, as the description you are giving is not satisfactory. 23:52, April 14, 2020 (EDT)

Most if its not. Most of the story exactly happened. Elijah Guy (talk) 23:55, April 14, 2020 (EDT)

Issuing a warning as this has been a problem with previous edits as well. Stop repeatedly forcing edits that have been reverted onto the article. 23:56, April 14, 2020 (EDT)

So now what? What am I supposed to do??? I have no idea what articles need editing. At this rate I would be drastically using the "Mario Party Legacy" guide for Paper Mario Color Splash. At least that guide had 100% info. Elijah Guy (talk) 00:04, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

Plus all of it is not vague. Elijah Guy (talk) 00:10, April 15, 2020 (EDT)


 * Perhaps start by exploring the rest of the site a bit more and looking here. -- 06:35, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

Ya know this is kinda lazy. Elijah Guy (talk) 14:29, April 15, 2020 (EDT)


 * How is directly showing you a list of articles that need editing lazy? I'm inclined to think you're projecting. -- 21:02, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

No offense but I think this should of been completed. Elijah Guy (talk) 21:09, April 15, 2020 (EDT)
 * Then complete it. Don't make half-filled general statements. Take a look at other level articles to see what type of content you need to put on the page. 21:12, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

The actual parts I know is when Mario firsts enters the level. Elijah Guy (talk) 21:15, April 15, 2020 (EDT)
 * You can try building it up in your sandbox, if you want. Once you find more information and it looks complete, you can transfer it over to the actual article. 21:20, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

Ah okay. Elijah Guy (talk) 21:25, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

"Minor edits. Note: Is the wiki kinda lazy, I mean they should of had like almost all the pages done before 2020."
I don't know how to break this to you, but "completion" of a wiki about a still-ongoing franchise with games being made as we speak just might be an unrealistic goal. -- 14:28, April 16, 2020 (EDT)
 * You're not annoying. You're just having trouble, and we are trying to help you understand how things work. Everyone has to start somewhere. 18:52, April 16, 2020 (EDT)

I just wanted to add facts to the pages. Elijah Guy (talk) 07:26, April 17, 2020 (EDT)

Pages
Regarding your recent page, not only was the subject already covered, but your page was too small. While usually you can add the template when you're working on an article, as long as it's still long enough if a page is literally only one or three sentences long when the subject has considerably more information then that then it will be marked as a stub and deleted. Thus, if you only have time to make a tiny page then instead of publishing it you should add the content onto a sandbox (can be a personal one) and work on it later. Your article was not of acceptable length to be published and marked under construction. Regardless, before making any article you should check to see if it already exists. Finally, articles need stuff like templates and categories: see Manual of Style for more information. 10:35, April 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * Page was turned into a redirect instead. We do not cover multiples of the same subject.
 * "Now how am I ever gonna make friends if I can't make a page!?!?!?!" You're young, so I know you don't have a lot of experience with how things work here, but I assume you should already know the answer to this question from just how basic life works. You have to build up respect, do good work and act friendly toward others, and you'll find yourself surrounded by friends before you know it. 11:19, April 17, 2020 (EDT)

Probaly everbody has a friend on the wiki because their older than me. That must be the case Elijah Guy (talk) 11:23, April 17, 2020 (EDT)

Also almost everybody on the wiki has 1000+ edits that are not useless Elijah Guy (talk) 11:27, April 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * There are certainly a lot of people that have been here a long time, most also having rocky starts. But age is not the issue, they built up relations with time. Just keep at it, read some of the policy pages, and ask for help if you need it. 11:30, April 17, 2020 (EDT)

In that case I know something! Is there pages that need gallery titles? (The words under a picture.)Elijah Guy (talk) 11:45, April 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * Possibly. None come to mind at the moment. 11:59, April 17, 2020 (EDT)

Or any Trivia that I can add? Elijah Guy (talk) 12:05, April 17, 2020 (EDT)
