Editing
Hey I like that you're contributing but you are just constantly editing the same page you should really try to edit other pages too thanks and keep contributing. :) 06:13, 20 July 2016 (EDT)


 * He was editing on one page because he was trying to get the formatting for a link right; there was no need to tell him that.

Linking
Just FYI, to create a link, simply type the name of the page you're linking to inside four square brackets, like so: Dry Bones Or click on the chain icon in the tool bar above the textbox. Also, in case you want to check how your edits look before you click "Save page", please use the "Show preview" button. For more information on editing, click the links in the Welcome notice above. Thanks.

RE: Character infobox
When adding a character infobox, you must use the attributes listed here. So that means "real name" wouldn't work, because it doesn't exist, so "full_name" is used instead. Additionally, "first_appearance" needs to be all lowercase (as should every other attribute), and any spaces between attributes should be replaced with underscores (as I just did). Unfortunately, "Date of Birth" is also non-existent, so the only way you can add it is to create an entire new infobox from scratch. Any attributes you don't plan on using can be excluded. Now your code should be written like so:

Just a tip: You don't need to type in the full URL for images found on MarioWiki; just the image title (as above). Hope this helps!

Duplicate Image
Just wanted to let you know that the you uploaded already exists as. The one you uploaded may be put up for deletion at some point, possibly soon. I suggest using the already uploaded file so we don't have duplicates of the same file on the wiki. 10:50, 5 August 2016 (EDT)

Hey
Thanks for the tip actually, next time I'll inform myself about the files I upload before uploading.  Koopas lost shell http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/b/b2/GreenShellMK8.png/20px-GreenShellMK8.png 11:01, 5 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Cool. You swap out the file name and I'll mark the other one up for deletion. 11:06, 5 August 2016 (EDT)

Done  Koopas lost shell http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/b/b2/GreenShellMK8.png/20px-GreenShellMK8.png 11:13, 5 August 2016 (EDT)

Reminder
Because File:SHY GUY REVEALED by Foxeaf.gif had an unfilled template. Also it is. -- 15:50, 7 August 2016 (EDT)

Thanks for the warning  Koopas lost shell http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/b/b2/GreenShellMK8.png/20px-GreenShellMK8.png 15:56, 7 August 2016 (EDT)

You did it again to File:3DS MarioPartySR E32016 SCRN 10.jpg. -- 15:29, 17 August 2016 (EDT)

Sorry, that wasn't on purpose, I pressed the button without knowing it! Koopas lost shell http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/b/b2/GreenShellMK8.png/20px-GreenShellMK8.png 09:42, 18 August 2016 (EDT) But I guess the warning will make it stop happening.

OK. One more thing (no warning for this). Categorize the images you upload, if possible. Game images for sure have an image category. Category:Mario Party: Star Rush Images for File:MpsrA.png for example. Insert. To find the category with the exact name, use the search text box and type in Category: and then the name of the game. -- 14:45, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

Swearing
I haven't been on the wiki too long, but I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to have the d-word on your userpage. This is supposed to be a family-friendly wiki, so could you please change it? --Sigma (talk) 14:40, 8 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Actually there is no rule against swearing as long as it's not directed at someone but you shouldn't do it too often. 19:34, 23 August 2016 (EDT)

Italics
Hey there. When editing articles, remember that game titles should be in italics. You can do this by placing two apostrophes before and after a game title.

For example,  New Super Mario Bros. Wii 

Thanks, 11:25, 12 August 2016 (EDT)


 * Please recall what YoshiKong has said here. 19:32, 23 August 2016 (EDT)

Grammar
Hi, just a reminder to please always remember to capitalise proper nouns next time (e.g. "Boos" and "SecuriMeows", not "boos" and "securimeows"). Also, keep in mind that the pronoun is spelled "which", not "witch". Thanks. 05:30, 15 August 2016 (EDT)

Oh, sorry, I'm lebanese, so I'm not an expert at grammar but anyway, I guess I'll make use of what you just said. Thanks then.  Koopas lost shell http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/b/b2/GreenShellMK8.png/20px-GreenShellMK8.png 05:59, 15 August 2016 (EDT)


 * You're welcome. Also, "Wiggler" is a proper noun as well. Any words that are names, like "Mario" or "Luigi", are proper nouns, and should always have their first letter in capitals. 06:38, 15 August 2016 (EDT)

Google Images
File:PMMamarChapterClear.jpeg - Google Images is a rather terrible source to get screenshots (or any image for that matter) to satisfy articles needing a certain image. Rarely is it ever useful. Also Google Images isn't the source you should be crediting because that source can changes its search results. The best way to obtain screenshots is to follow my WIP guide. -- 15:15, 25 August 2016 (EDT)

Friendship or fiendship, whichever you prefer
Hey Koops, wanna be friends? Why, you ask? Because forums. Not to mention Switch. 20:46, 23 July 2017 (EDT)

Sure, just wait until I draw my OC and change the userbox. By the way, I really need to change that signature too. Koopas lost shell  13:17, 24 July 2017 (EDT)

Get in the Spirit with Strategy Wing
Hooded Pitohui (talk) 11:13 EDT, 7 October 2019 (EDT)

Thankfully, it's Strategy Wing!
In addition, I just want to look towards the future and remind you all that we're looking to have December's issue 153 celebrate 25 years of Donkey Kong Country with a Donkey Kong theme. See if you can't think up some ways to theme your sections around the big ape and his extensive world.

Hooded Pitohui (talk) 17:45 EST, 4 November 2019 (EST)

Gift Us Your Strategy Wing Sections
As you'll recall, we're celebrating Donkey Kong in this issue to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country. If you can theme your section around the big ape and his pals and enemies (or you have an idea for a special contribution), you ought to do so!

I'm running a little late with getting this out this month, so you get an extra day. Let me know if you need anything.

A New Strategy Wing is About to Unfold
Oh, yes, and as you think toward the future, please recall that we'll be doing a Dr. Mario themed special issue in July. You aren't required to theme your sections, but it adds something special if you can find a way to do so!

Hooded Pitohui (talk) 19:10, 8 June 2020 (EDT)

A Check-up with Strategy Wing
Please do remember we are doing a Dr. Mario themed special issue this month. If you want to theme your sections around the sub-series, or have good ideas for special sections you'd like to submit to The 'Shroom, we highly encourage you to do so!

Hooded Pitohui (talk) 9:18, 6 July 2020 (EDT)

Don't Forget Strategy Wing in the Middle of Awards!
This is a busy month, so I can work with you if you need extra time. Please do let me know if you need anything!

What's your Strategy for Making a Costume?
Hooded Pitohui (talk) 19:08, 6 October 2020 (EDT)

This November, Make Strategies to Remember
Looking ahead, our December issue will be themed after the Shroobs and will be celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Do think about ways to theme your sections if possible. Aliens, babies, time travel, the game itself, it's all fair game! If you feel particularly inspired, one-off special sections are quite welcome, too! It's important to focus on this month first, but it's not a bad idea to start thinking for next month.
