User talk:MetaKnightmare666

Hi, you seem to be new around here, and I noticed your edits to the Huffin Puffin page, so I thought I'd be a friendly neighborhood AwdryFan and give a few pointers to ensure you enjoy your career here. And that's it from me! Enjoy your time here! And, just a suggestion, but looking at the list of blocked users, the wiki seems to have a policy against the number 666 in usernames. I'd recommend changing it, just to be safe. For further details, the wiki has articles on these rules, I just wanted to share the basics and give an introduction. Have fun! - AwdryFan1997 (talk) 22:51, July 1, 2020 (EDT)
 * Don't make jokes on articles. Unlike The Cutting Room Floor, MarioWiki needs you to write in an encyclopediac manner. Likewise, don't share your opinions on the articles themselves. Use your user page for that sort of thing.
 * Use correct grammar and spelling. That's a given. It's okay to make mistakes, and it's likely someone will clean up after you eventually, but try to not do it in the first place.
 * Don't write about topics you don't know about. Once, I tried to rewrite the Donkey Kong article (I'm still pretty sure it needs a rewrite, that article is a complete and utter mess), despite admittedly not being very on the subject. Though, I will say, for future reference, the original Donkey Kong from the arcade games is not the same one from the Donkey Kong Country series. The original is now named Cranky Kong, as clearly stated since the first DKC.
 * This wiki operates under the philosophy that the Mario series has no continuity. While I completely disagree, that is how the Wiki operates.
 * Do not make articles about non-Mario content. To clarify, this wiki makes articles about Super Smash Bros. (not a Mario game by any means, but sure, whatever) and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. So, there are articles for the Fire Emblem characters, but only the ones in Smash (Marth, Red Marth, Big Sword Marth, Female Marth, Magic Book Marth, Barefoot Marth, Female Marth's Dad, and The Marth That Ruined Fire Emblem's Reputation And Forced Everyone To Buy More DLC) and ONLY discussing their appearances in Smash. Likewise, we can only cover the Sonic the Hedgehog characters that appear in Mario & Sonic, and only their roles in those games. At the end of the day, don't make articles about Master Chief or crap like that.
 * Be civil. Do not harass others. If an administrator tells you to jump, you ask how high on the way up. Common courtesy.
 * Do not use this wiki if you are under 13. Not sure if this is an official rule, but it is the law in many countries.
 * And most importantly, USE COMMON SENSE.
 * And, while I'm at it, don't get the idea that I'm credible or anything. I frankly have absolutely no right to write any of this stuff. Basically, welcome to the wiki, and I hope you enjoy it. - AwdryFan1997 (talk) 21:05, July 2, 2020 (EDT)

Remember to preview
When editing a link with, or just any edit in general, please preview it before submitting. This immediately tells you if any links are broken (red) or if they work (blue) e.g. red vs Wario Land II. If the link is broken, look for the article manually to find the correct name. If it's blue, open it up in a new tab (right click, "Open link in new tab") to check it leads to the right place, including if it had to redirect e.g. Wario Land 2 leads to Wario Land II, and per the writing standards, should be changed to minimise redirection. Also be aware the links are case sensitive e.g. Wario Land II vs red. The preview also gives you another opportunity to proofread, so its just useful in general. This is all to prevent multiple bad edits where one is needed. Mistakes happen a lot when you're new at editing wiki pages, so don't feel too bad about it, I'm just giving you useful info.
