MarioWiki talk:Good writing

This is a great policy, but I think this it should refer to the Manual of Style maybe somewhere in the intro, or at least a "See also" at the top of the page. Both policies are going into depth about article standards, just two different kinds.

 * The intro's good as-is, but linking to MW:MOS was a good idea, so I added a "See Also" section with that and some extra policy page links. - 20:41, 8 November 2012 (EST)

How Ironic...
I found bad writing in the Good Writing article. This sentence is not grammatically correct. "Pirate Goomba are NPCs that appears in Mario Party 8" 10:54, 25 January 2017 (EST)

I need to edit the pages. Brandon Quek (talk) 21:51, 16 November 2017 (EST)


 * You cannot edit this page because this is a protected MarioWiki policy page. If you're referring to mainspace pages, some of them may be semi-protected, meaning you can't edit them until you are autoconfirmed. 00:03, 17 November 2017 (EST)

Captain Goomba link
It needs changed to Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8), but as this is an only-alterable-by-admins page, I can't do that. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:36, 20 October 2017 (EDT)


 * Fixed. 21:43, 20 October 2017 (EDT)

"Subspecies" example
The current explanation implies without stating otherwise that Lakitu is a derived species of Koopa Troopa, which is not right. They are separate from the get-go. Also, I think that a further addendum should be added to the sprite explanation to distinguish textures from them as well, as we occasionally get those uploaded (primarily for the pre-release and unused content pages).
