Why are all of my articles deleted?
Hi. I've made about 20-30 articles and I didn't visit for 2 days. Now, every last one that I created is no where to be found. They were all under characters. Why did this happen? I know how to put them back, but it is a hassle. Thanks.
 * You're articles are not deleted. However, I did remove their links from the characters page because your articles were about generic enemies and species, not characters. A character refers to a singular person of group such as Mario of the Axem Rangers. You should add links to the pages you created to the Species page for a generic race (including enemies and friendly races), the Enemies page for generic enemies and evil characters, and the Allies page for helpful generic races and good characters. Hope this helps! =) Also, I was wondering where you found the name Name Kuri. I've looked everywhere for the name to these creatures and could never find one. --Son of Suns 16:57, 6 July 2006 (EDT)

A noob here!
Im kinda new to SMW, but i know a lot of SM games. I made some items arcticles (degree cards) but i got edited. I think my arcticles were way more complete.
 * Please note that all contributions to the Super Mario Wiki may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
 * If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here.
 * This note appears after the edit box every time you make an edit. If you have a problem with other edits, don't come here. I'm sure good parts were kept and OK parts were improved by other contributors. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 20:44, 1 September 2006 (EDT)

I just came here to help complete your database, but since arcticles are being "merciless edited" why would i bother in doing an arcticle that i know it will be edited by some guy who just wants to write his arcticle, deleting mine? its has little to no sense.

"dont come here" <--- kinda agressive to me.


 * Sometimes it is better for the article to be edited. Superchao 21:20, 1 September 2006 (EDT)
 * I'm sorry, sir. I'll personally see to it that Wayoshi is removed from the sysop team and permanently banned. Once again, our apologies. -- Steve (talk) 21:21, 1 September 2006 (EDT)
 * Uh-huh, of course. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 21:41, 1 September 2006 (EDT)

What is this page and why has it been cancelled?
 * It should be a quick way to find answers to those frequently asked questions, and was started early in the wiki's life. But, it hasn't been maintained. 17:00, 19 December 2006 (EST)

HOW DO YOU EDIT THE TITLES OF ARTICLES?!
Hi, I'm Super Pie Man, and I'd like to know how to edit the TITLES of articles. It's quite annoying when you see that the name of something is pure conjecture and is not correct, but you can't do ANYTHING about it! Please help me out!


 * There's a "move" tab around where the edit tab is. That tab moves an article to a different name. --YellowYoshi398 17:01, 26 December 2006 (EST)

The Vertical Line?
How do you add a vertical line? I've tried every button on my keyboard (Seriously). How do I do it? --Maxlover2 18:20, 14 February 2007 (EST)
 * You mean this: | Hold shift and press: \ on your keyboard. Hope that helps. -- 18:29, 14 February 2007 (EST)

Thank You SO much!!!!!!


 * You're welcome. -- 19:18, 14 February 2007 (EST)

How to make the box things with linx in?
You know, those tab things at the bottom -- Dragonfree
 * These things are called templates. If you see on a page, it's a template called 'example' included on the page. Each such template can be accessed at Template:Name, where Name should be replaced by the template's name.  15:16, 23 February 2007 (EST)

Yeh, I know that, but how to make a new 1? From Scratch? -- Dragonfree
