Warp Cannon
The reason that your edit on Warp Cannon is getting removed is that the order you wrote only applies to is New Super Mario Bros. Wii, as in NSMB, 1 and 2 lead to 5, 3 leads to 6, 4 leads to 7, and 5 leads to 8. In NSMB2, 1 leads to Mushroom (which is World 7, as you need to match the numbers at 77 to get the Rainbow level), 3 and Mushroom lead to Flower (which is World 8), and Flower leads to World 6. As all three of them are different, there isn't really a "general order" to add to the article. Also, it is unnecessary to have "File:" in front of the images in the gallery. -- 19:41, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Edit Warring
Repeatedly undoing an edit, even if it's to converse with the other guy, is considered edit warring. Before going any further with the Warp Cannon page, please talk to to decide the correct course of action. By the time I've typed out this message, he has already sent something to you, but policy states I should say something anyway. Sorry.

On that note, since I made the first edit that caused this, I'll throw in what I think and say the Warp Cannon does differ between games:

NSMB
1 & 2 -> 5, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 7, 5 -> 8

NSMBWii
1 & 2 -> 5, 3 & 4 -> 6, 6 -> 8

NSMB2
1 -> Mushroom (which is 7), 3 & Mushroom -> Flower (8), Flower -> 6 (strangely going backwards)

19:45, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Yeah, sorry about that, man. I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I was just trying to talk. And yeah, my bad. The Warp Cannon does differ between games, now that you made it clear. I won't do it again. And by the way, where's the message he sent me?
 * Don't worry, this is just a note to remind you what to avoid next time. The message TheFlameChomp sent you is directly above this one. As for your message on my talk page, no, you cannot remove warnings, or any kind of comments really (unless they are vandalism), especially ones given to you by a staff member. 22:13, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Userpage stuff
Just an FYI, when you're copying userboxes from another user page (in this case, mine), try to not be so, uh, apparent about it. Like the scrollbox data I have (that long box surrounding the userboxes), I have that because otherwise the userbox would push everything downward. You can use it if you can get the coding to work, but it doesn't appear like you need it (it's screwing with the tabs, btw). Additionally, the link in the YouTube box goes to my channel, so you may want to delete that. And keep in mind that some users have personal images in their userboxes, so you may want to ask them if you decided to take it.

Also, if you want to check how the page looks without actually saving the page, hit the "Show preview" button at the bottom. This way the number of edits are reduced and it doesn't fill the Recent Changes. 22:51, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Just asking, but were you patrolling me? But yeah, I just wanted to create a scrollbox so I could show everybody the basic information, like favorite game, favorite character, etc. When I saw the coding for it, though, I didn't know if I was able to type it all myself. So sorry if that was rude in any way. 21:56, 23 June 2017 (CDT)
 * Nah, I just keep an eye on the Recent Changes all the time. I see pretty much everything :P
 * For the scrollbox, remove the coding you have before and after the userboxes and put this coding above the userboxes (without the nowiki coding):

 
 * Truth be told, I stole the coding from 's page, then modified it to fit how I needed it too. Took me a while to figure out, though. 23:01, 23 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Walkazo was a bureaucrat of the Super Mario Wiki since 2011, and she was a hard worker and a great friend to those that knew her. In March of 2016, she was killed in a car accident. I did not know her that well myself, I've only talked to her once or twice, but I was there the day her brother delivered the news. 17:03, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Yeah, sure, go ahead an add my userbox to your page if you want, and I'll take your (rather familiar) userbox as well :) Also, add an extra  at the end of the userbox tower before the end |} s, as it appears to be messing with the page coding.  23:38, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Also, you've been spending a lot of time on your user page. I know you're just trying to get it set up, but do try to edit some mainspace articles as well. Additionally (I don't know if I mentioned this to you already, probably have, I can't keep track), if you want to check how the page looks without saving, click the "Show preview" button. This way, you can make multiple edits and save it in one go, while avoiding filling up the Recent Changes. 23:50, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Okay, uuhh... try to avoid adding things like this and info about the fanbase. 00:14, 25 June 2017 (EDT)

Dammit. My bad. I was hoping I could put some useful information in articles. I guess that means thinking before you do it (DUH, me!). 23:24, 24 June 2017 (CDT)


 * To make a gallery, you would type this:


 * View the source to see the code, as I can't get the raw code to show, for some reason. 22:38, 25 June 2017 (EDT)

New Super Luigi U is an expansion of the main game, as such it's considered part of that. That's my best answer, I don't know much about it. Also, I will take this time to say that you've been editing your userpage a lot. The important focus of the wiki is the content of the main articles. Userspace should come second, though I understand if it takes some time to make some quality edits. 20:21, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

Italics
Hello! Just so you know, when writing game titles, you should italicize them by putting two apostrophes on both sides. For example,  would appear as Super Mario Sunshine. Thanks! -- 21:25, 29 June 2017 (EDT)

Setting up your signature
I saw you request help on Porplemontage's talk page about this, and I have an answer for you:
 * 1) Go to your preferences page.
 * 2) In the "Signature" section of the "User profile" tab, type in the markup for your signature. If you want to use a template signature, you must type something like.
 * 3)  DO NOT FORGET  to check the box that reads "Treat the above as wiki markup".
 * 4) At the bottom, click Save, and you're done!
 * One last thing: your signature must include links to your userpage and your user talk page.

Hopefully that helps you. 17:25, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

Thanks. That does help a lot.
 * Just take a look at User:Alex95/sig. All it is are two images linking to my user pages. 17:55, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

Userspace warning
I've checked your recent contributions and most of your edits have been on touching up your user page and talk pages. Try to find some time to edit some of the mainspace pages a bit more. If you don't do so, you might be given a harsher warning. Thanks! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 00:02, 2 July 2017 (EDT)

Sorry about that. I will try not to overload again. – Skuchi037 (talk) 23:22, 1 July 2017 (CDT)
 * The reason for this is you having 186 edits on user pages, 73 on the main pages, 33 on user talk pages, 3 on MarioWiki, and 1 on main talk. It is a good idea to keep main+maintalk more than user+usertalk. Also, you may want to press the 'Show preview button so you can see the page without saving. 21:35, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

RE: Humor for the WIN!
Why, thank you! 14:58, 5 July 2017 (EDT)

RE:Big Boo's Haunt Edits
Due to a translation error in the English version of Super Mario 64 DS, King Boo is called Big Boo. Since this is an English wiki, that's what we go off of for his role in SM64DS. There is a note of the differences on King Boo's actual page, though. For Yoshi, no, he cannot enter Big Boo's Haunt at all, since no cap can be collected in Princess Peach's Castle. 13:37, 6 July 2017 (EDT)
 * No, the point is Yoshi can't get into the course to begin with. The entrance to Big Boo's Haunt is within a Big Boo in Peach's courtyard, which needs to be defeated. Since Yoshi can't damage Boos, he can't enter the course. 16:11, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

Reminder
(The edits in question) You've been reminded about italics once before; it's an important editing guideline, so please remember next time. Thanks. 01:55, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

RE: Vandalism FAQ
Depends. If a user joins just for the sole purpose of vandalising, they are blocked immediately. If a regular user who's made constructive contributions in the past starts vandalising, they'll receive a warning, then, if it continues, a block. 22:03, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

FAQ Questions
I noticed that you are asking Mario jc about some stuff on the wiki. Let me show you this. Be sure to read it and see if you have a question already answered there before you ask on someone's talk page. Even then, you are suppose to ask on it's talk page. 22:28, 12 July 2017 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I was actually about to direct you to that link, too. Thanks, Yoshi the SSM. 22:32, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
 * You're welcome (to both of you). 22:34, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

Fawful
I will bluntly tell you that there is a lot more to autism than "being smart" and "having social problems". Unless you have a clear-cut and official citation that demonstrates that Fawful is diagnosed with autism, do not include it on his article. 23:35, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Despite being on the autism spectrum myself, I have a lot of friends and am (somewhat) sociable and talkative, but at the same time, don't see myself as all that smart. There are different levels of autism, like not being able to speak at all or diminished senses, and making an accusation about it toward how a character acts without an official source can possibly offend someone. Be careful when writing things like that.


 * Additionally, do not repeatedly undo edits to converse with other users, as that is what's known as "edit warring" (i.e., undo someone else's edit after they undid yours on the same page). If you wish to have a discussion, please do so on someone's talk page. 01:22, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

I'm actually going to give you a warning for this (to serve as a reminder not to do this again, and as per warning policy) as you edit warred on three different pages(!) before continuing the discussion elsewhere. 01:41, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Maintenance is a good place to start. 17:40, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
 * I read this last night, and now that I am able to write on my computer (yes I have been here for some time, but I forgot until now), I am able to post this from a paper that I wrote for college. It says, "Autism is a disorder that effects mental thinking and communication in young children, though it is carried throughout life." And later on, "Symptoms are "trouble interacting, playing with, or relating to others, having little or brief eye contact with others, not pointing to objects to call attention to them, unusual or repetitive movements, such as hand flapping, spinning, or tapping, delays in developmental milestones or loss of milestones already achieved, playing with a toy in a way that seems odd or repetitive, not using or understanding language as a child that age typically would, and not exploring surroundings with curiosity or interest (a child seeming to be in his or her "own world")" (KidsHealth)." KidsHealth is a website. Since many of these are for children, it would be very difficult to place Fawful in this category without proof. 17:45, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
 * You weren't vandalizing, just made a mistake...repeatedly. Next time, after someone undoes your edit and what they put in the edit summary isn't clear enough, talk to them or post a question on the article's talk page. 17:48, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

Writing
Please avoid flowery and informal writing on articles. There's no need to describe a character with over-the-top adjectives, as simply mentioning them by name is fine; and saying something "should be familiar" sounds like you're having a conversation with the reader, which we also don't want.

Try to keep what you write formal, informative and professional. More information on writing style can be found here. 03:16, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
 * You don't need to ask if your edit is good. Just do your best, and if there's a problem, it will be fixed, but do try to keep writing standards in mind, like what told you earlier.  18:06, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

RE:Shroob Edit
Evil? Yes. Dark? Eh, not really. The Mario series is generally known for being comical, even at its darkest moments. "Creepy" and "disturbing" are also rather subjective descriptions. 20:30, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

Awards Presentation
Hello, I see that you've signed up to present M3. However, it doesn't seem like you have a Mario Boards account under any name, which is one of the requirements to present as we must send you the results there. Unfortunately we can't allow you to present otherwise, so if you would like to do so, please register for the forums; it should be relatively easy and only take a few minutes. Please get back to us as soon you can, as we need to know either your account name or that you are backing out of presenting. Thanks! - Turboo (talk) 00:03, 14 July 2017 (EDT)

SMB3
Okay, um, good attempt, but and I have taken up the task of making the pages for Super Mario Bros. 3. Additionally, there's not a lot of info on the page you created, so it may get deleted if more info isn't added soon (I can't expand it myself at the moment, because my Game Boy Advance died :P). Thanks for the help, though. 16:02, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

Chain Chomps
I was not aware there existed large, spherical, pure-black, pointy-toothed dogs. 17:59, 15 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Dog-like implies that they share a resemblance to dogs, be it physical or behavioural but to most people reading it without context, they would assume that "dog-like" means that Chain Chomps look like dogs. They would then see the image of a Chain Chomp and be very confused. A given subject's appearance is more obvious than its behaviour, so saying "dog-like" without any further explanation is just a non-sequitur. It's best to leave that stuff for the main body, in which their behaviour is explained in more detail. 18:37, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

Edit summaries
I'd recommend against outbursts like this. Summaries should be used for things like "Fixed typo" or "Expanded info", not laughing maniacally. 21:29, 16 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Nah, nothing wrong. A little humor is fine. Just letting you know not to go too overboard. 21:41, 16 July 2017 (EDT)

Adding on to this, no need to take on a condescending tone in your edit summaries either. 18:08, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

RE:Vandals

 * Vandals are weird :P Also, was a little blunt with my earlier answer: You can help with reverting edits if you can, so long as you don't engage in an edit war or conversation with the vandal, but the blocking can only be done by members of the staff. If there's no staff member online (which has been rare, lately), there's always the admin noticeboard staff members watching it will get a notification from. 18:56, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

RE:Raccoon Mario vs Tanooki Mario
I did miss that, actually, yes. However, "the big difference is that Raccoon Mario can fly, while Tanooki Mario cannot. Also, Raccoon Mario appears in 2D games, while Tanooki Mario appears in 3D games." is not completely wrong, but it's not correct, either. Tanooki Mario can fly in Super Mario Bros. 3, and the final statement makes it seem like the transformations are exclusive to those genres, which they aren't in Tanooki Mario's case. 19:47, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Millennium Star
Before any of your edits, the intro stated that Tumble was given life by the Millennium Star. Your subsequent edit then stated that he is the Millennium Star. I believe that it would be difficult to give life to something while also being that something. Also, per what the Doc said. 20:17, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * That's a logical leap and speculation, which is not permitted on the wiki. Also, the message is pleasantly harmless, so I might as well leave it there. Either way, that doesn't give you the right to delete it. It's not your talk page. 20:19, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

RE: List of rumors and urban legends about Mario
The sections are sorted by individual rumours, not by games, so there's no need. 23:35, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Best way to not have edits reversed? Only say things that are definite. Don't say things that are theoretical, don't say things that are subjective, and please keep and encyclopedic tone with grammar to match. Wiki basically taught me how to speak, so for me, it's natural. Also, only say things if it's something that's been neglected to be said, like how I changed the page for Giant Stu to undo the misconception that there was only one in the whole game. 23:08, 20 July 2017 (CT)
 * Advice: don't get angry when your edits are reversed. It happens to just about every user, really, usually at the start of them editing. I had a number of my edits undone when I started, and I still have some of them undone today. Keep in mind that the wiki is maintained by several users, many of which have ideas or ideals that may conflict with someone else's. By submitting your work to something as open as a wiki, you're automatically agreeing that anyone can edit it at anytime. 00:37, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

RE:Mario Boards Presentation
You can make your presentation however you want to. Usually, people go with a comic, as it's appealing to look at and simple to do. Really any form of media works as long as it's engaging. Once you're finished, you send it in to Anton and Turboo on the forums so they can look over it, and then they will send you more info to include once the time comes to get the presentation up in the thread that will go up when the Awards Presentation starts. More info can be found here. If you have any further questions, I recommend contacting those on the Awards Committee, like Anton, Turboo, or Superchao, as I do not know everything :P 16:07, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
 * It's my first time doing something like this, too, actually :) 16:09, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

Courtesy
You need to start being more polite to people here. Remarks like the start of your comment here are quite demeaning, especially to an experienced editor, and yelling at someone, like this is absolutely unacceptable, especially when you're enforcing policy incorrectly. You're already on a last warning, so I don't want to ban you without explaining things first, but if you continue to violate courtesy policy you will be temporarily banned.
 * Dagnabbit, Y876 :P Yeah, what you said is not okay, for a few reasons. In order:


 * 1) The guy's French. He can speak his native language all he wants to.
 * 2) Cursing and swearing is allowed, so long as it's used in moderation. You can learn more here.
 * 3) You can't "hear" text, and typing in all caps isn't going to get your point across any better.
 * These types of outbursts are becoming frequent from you. If they keep up, someone will have to ban you, as you are already on a last warning for the discourteous edit warring earlier. 18:59, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Doesn't matter whether you know the guy or not. Just be nice to everyone and talk in a civil manner. 19:08, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Just make sure it doesn't happen again. 19:14, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

Signature
Your signature is in violation of several rules. First of all, it must be created: here. Then please follow the instructions here. Once you do, it must fit in the following box, which it currently wouldn't:. It also has to include your username in some fashion as stated on rule one here. Please fix it. -- 19:00, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
