Hi, welcome to the wiki! You seem to be having some trouble with your edits, so here's a few things to keep in mind.
 * This wiki is for official information, meaning fake and fan created information does not go in the main articles. There are some exceptions, though. However, if you can provide a source on if the level you are talking about actually exists in the game's coding, it would fit at List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content.
 * When uploading images, please remember to fill out the aboutfile template (or remove it completely), categorizing the image correctly, and applying the appropriate license from the drop-down menu. You can find all the information you need about those here:

Thank you, and keep contributing. 11:36, February 7, 2020 (EST)

Additionally, we do not accept fan-made recreations of pre-release material. Your uploads have revolved entirely around these, but they do not fall within our guidelines. Please do not continue uploading them unless you can properly source them from official material, and please following the image instructions above. 19:43, February 12, 2020 (EST)

Sorry. I just didn’t know. Only decent images I could find.


 * That's fine, you know now :) 19:49, February 12, 2020 (EST)

Please don't upload files without filling in the file details. should be filled in properly (otherwise you can simply replace it with a simple description); must be replaced with an image category relevant to the file; and a license should be selected from the "Licensing" drop-down menu. See the above reminders. 19:54, February 12, 2020 (EST)

I wish that Nintendo would create a Paper Mario game for the Switch. With Dark Bowser as a boss! I haven’t seen him science I last played Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story!

I wrote since, not science!

Oh, and Nintendo should also add the Koopalings in the next Super Mario Maker 2 update. I have always wanted them! Also, it would be nice if Dry Bowser was there too!

Do not upload files that already exist. Check to see if they are already uploaded first. 20:10, February 12, 2020 (EST)

^ This also goes for uploading similar images specifically for your userpage. Simply use the ones we already have. 21:54, March 14, 2020 (EDT)

Smart Apostrophes
Additionally, both when writing and uploading files, make sure you use straight apostrophes and not smart apostrophes. Thanks! Trig - 20:38, February 12, 2020 (EST)

What’s a straight apostrophe? What’s a smart apostrophe? I only have 1 type of apostrophe on my keyboard.


 * Regular apostrophes are, smart apostrophes are  . The latter is what you use. You might be able to change this in your computer settings somewhere?  22:59, February 12, 2020 (EST)


 * If you compare the type of apostrophe in your sentence to the one in my phrase: "It's not 'that' bad, sir," you may notice that yours appears to be more visually curved or angled differently. Alternatively, view the following: ’ vs '. There are several methods to resolve this, the first being entering computer keyboard settings and finding any potential smart quotes option and turning it off. The other is to copy and paste it in when using them on a mainspace page or (more importantly) a file name. If you want more information about their differences, click this link and it will take you to my user page for more information about what they are. Trig - 23:03, February 12, 2020 (EST)

There is only one problem about that. I am not using a computer, I am actually using an iPad. I actually do not have a computer, except for a very slow, old one that cannot even turn on. I cannot change the type of the apostrophe... wait a sec. I will go look.


 * For apple products, go to Settings > General > Keyboards and then turn the 'Smart Punctuation' off. Trig - 09:54, February 13, 2020 (EST)

Stuff Not About Smart Apostrophes
So I was wondering why I cannot make a user page, because I have been on user pages of other people. It says that I don not have permission to create the page. I really want a user page.


 * Userpages can be made by members that are Autoconfirmed. You must make ten edits and wait a period of seven days. Trig - 09:54, February 13, 2020 (EST)

OK! I got it!


 * Also, make sure you sign your posts either using four tildes (~) or by writing User:Katelyn Croteau . Trig - 11:06, February 13, 2020 (EST)

Alright! User:Katelyn Croteau

Team Koopa
What side are YOU on? Team Mario or Team Koopa! There’s no actual teams, but what I’m saying is that I would be on Team Koopa. - Katelyn Croteau

Other Stuff
Yay! I finally fixed that smart apostrophe thing! Look: Bowser's the coolest!

Oh, and what I just said was true.

Files
Why can't I upload files and make edits? I am logged in.


 * You've already uploaded the file: File:Peach Kissing Mario SMW.gif 22:33, February 16, 2020 (EST)

How do you get it onto the SMW article?


 * You just did. The image was just located to the bottom of the infobox.


 * The page's introduction isn't the place to be adding this information anyway. It would be better suited on Princess Peach's article.


 * And please start signing your comments with four tildes ( ~ ), even on your own talk page. 22:39, February 16, 2020 (EST)

You also need add the necessary file details to your file page as you've already been explained above. I notice you're uploading by clicking on the image icon on the text box, but I suggest using Special:Upload. If not, then please at least include this in the description:

Summary
Peach kissing Mario

Licensing
And replace "game-screenshot" and "Super Mario World" with the different image type and game (as the above reminders explain) if the file is different. If you don't add a license or category for your files, you may receive a warning. 22:45, February 16, 2020 (EST)

User Pages
Is it OK if I include unofficial images on my user page? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 19:22, March 10, 2020 (EDT)Katelyn CroteauKatelyn Croteau (talk) 19:22, March 10, 2020 (EDT)


 * Yes, as long as they're marked with . Personal images has more details. 20:20, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

Second-person writing
Avoid using the word "you" on articles. Only "the player" or the character's name should be used. 20:20, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

Bowser portrait
Ooooooh you should have saved that as a .png, .jpg wrecks pixel art. Just for future reference. It's pretty nice, by the way. Thumb's on the wrong side, but I've made that mistake with him too. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:58, March 11, 2020 (EDT)

User space
You've been editing your user page exclusively for the past couple of days. Try to mix in some main article edits as well.

Additionally, you uploaded an already existing file again. Please check the game's page and gallery to see if the image you want is already there, this case being File:SMP Boxart.png. 19:12, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

While it's great that you want us to get to know you better, you need to cut down on the amount of time you spend on your user page. This isn't a blog site, so do focus more on main articles. An option you can try is making your user page elsewhere, like on a Word document, and then pasting it all in one edit onto the page. Also, you need to use File:Toad Pixel Art By Katelyn Croteau.jpg somewhere, otherwise it will end up being deleted for going unused. 15:55, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Super Mario Box Art
Someone deleted my Super Mario Party Box Art image from my user page! And it was from this wiki!

Oh. I understand now. But how do I get those pictures on my user page?

Katelyn Croteau (talk)Katelyn Croteau
 * More info at Help:Image. 20:33, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

User space
Sorry. I just like going on there. I'll make sure to mix in some main articles, too. Thanks for the advice. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 15:58, March 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * Do go over Help:Contents for our policies, and maybe you can find something you can do at Maintenance. 16:05, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Edits
I just edited the Hammer Bro. page, but the edit was deleted. Why?

Katelyn Croteau (talk) 16:08, March 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * You are able to view past edits and the reasons for them by clicking the "history" tab at the top of every page. 16:09, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Warning
Your Hammer Bro image as well as the previous (now-deleted) uploads were missing the details I explained above (the text with the "Summary", "License" and a category). Please remember to add those details in the future (or use Special:Upload as I've suggested); we shouldn't have to keep pointing out the same image-related guidelines for you. Try to read through some of the pages on Help:Contents like Manual of Style as Alex95 has told you. 22:14, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Deleting Users
How do I delete my user. I don't want it anymore. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 17:58, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

It's just that I don't like my account. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:01, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
 * You can't, but making a new account is not acceptable, either (as is what you did with Ultra Koopa). If you don't want to use your account anymore, then don't use it. 18:40, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

But can I change this account name to Ultra Koopa? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:43, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
 * If you want a rename, you make a request at Changing username. 18:45, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Renaming Users
When I followed the directions on that page, it said "approved". But it didn't change my username. Why? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:53, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
 * You left the "|a" there when copying from the above section. I removed it. 18:55, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks ;)! But does that change my username? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:56, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
 * Not yet. You have to wait for a bureaucrat to rename you. 18:57, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Got it :)! Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:59, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Italics
Regarding your edit on that other account, remember to italicise game titles like Super Mario Maker 2. You add two straight apostrophes  (not smart apostrophes   as mentioned above; I'd suggest changing the apostrophe setting for this) before and after the name:   Please read Manual of Style as directed to you already.

Another thing, if you blank your userpage, your personal images will be deleted unless you include them to your userpage. 21:25, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

OK! Thanks for the advice. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 10:38, March 25, 2020 (EDT)
