Uploads
Please do not leave the summaries unfilled. New uploads need to have the relevant details filled in and a category added as described above. 09:25, September 18, 2021 (EDT)

You are still not categorizing the files correctly and you're not giving them licenses too. Or an aboutfile summary. 10:08, September 18, 2021 (EDT)
 * They did add a license, you added a duplicate one. 10:38, September 18, 2021 (EDT)

Files from the wiki
Since this is the first time I am editing the photo, how about something that I need to help such as licenses. Pierce Ng (talk) 19:37, September 18, 2021 (EDT)Pierce Ng

Prezzy appearances
You're going too far with the microgame appearances. Yes, the Prezzies come from microgames, but that doesn't mean listing every single microgame that has that object in some form (like listing "Super Mario Land" for a generic mushroom). There are microgames that prominently feature these specific Prezzies in these specific designs - we should be listing those microgames only. 08:27, September 19, 2021 (EDT)

Show preview
If you're trying something out like a gallery and want to see what it looks like, preview it first by clicking on the "Show preview" button rather than saving the edit multiple times, otherwise it floods the recent changes and history pages. That way if it doesn't work, you can go back and fix it before publishing the edit. Help:Gallery explains how to make a gallery. 22:31, September 19, 2021 (EDT)

Broken file links
Don't add links to files that don't exist until they've been uploaded. 22:59, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

Trivia
Please double-check facts and in-game content before adding points like these next time. These points saying something is the second/third/etc. become less noteworthy the further they go anyway, so it'd be better to avoid adding such points altogether. 09:35, September 24, 2021 (EDT)

Please stop drawing similarities for something that's too general or too common in media. The Caution: Slippery pose (someone sticking their hands and legs out) is not a unique pose at all, and the Web Surfer sound is only similar in that it's a "positive" chime with rising pitch, which many games use. This is the same case as the Wario Bug / Master Hand info. Comparisons would only be worth noting if it's specific and unique. If you're not sure how common something is, ask first whether it's worth noting on the article, or just don't note it altogether. 06:02, October 7, 2021 (EDT)

You're still doing this. You don't need to always compare basic things to other, very specific and arbitrary things. 04:50, January 18, 2022 (EST)

"The"
Don't use the word "the" to refer to something that was never introduced. "The" is a determiner that should be used when you're referring to something specific that was already mentioned, and you use "a" when introducing new things. (For example, you don't use it for "the rats" or "the soccer ball", because we didn't know these existed beforehand, so it should be just "rats" and "a soccer ball". In a sentence like, "There is a ? Block ahead. The ? Block contains a coin," you'd use "the" because it's referring to a specific ? Block we knew about.) 06:22, September 26, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Ramram (DK vs ARMS)
I'm aware of that, but I don't think it's worth mentioning on the RamRam page. The modes of Min Min's arms aren't really that significant in the scope of this wiki.

Also, "not to be confused with" text is placed above the main article text, not inside it. -- 13:06, September 27, 2021 (EDT)
 * Distinguish notices are only used to distinguish Mario Wiki articles with similar titles, not for distingushing similar names for subjects from different franchises. As far as I'm aware, the ARMS Ramram is completely out of our coverage anyway. 20:23, September 27, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Mega bug hand crusher
There are a lot of bosses with giant hands, many of them are bound to use this sort of attack (Tiki Tong, Bouldergeist, Knucklotec, Wham Bam Rock (Master Hand's inspiration) etc.) and it just doesn't seem necessary to compare it. It's also not entirely similar to the Fake-Out Slap; Master Hand's is literally what it says, a fakeout, whereas the Wario Bug's isn't. 01:17, September 30, 2021 (EDT)

Do not alter other users' comments; that was the second time you did that and it's rude to just edit what someone else has said. You will be issued a warning if it happens again. 08:36, September 30, 2021 (EDT)

RE:IMO
It's short for "in my opinion". 20:01, October 2, 2021 (EDT)

Vague writing
Please be more specific in your writing next time. For example, the Crygor's invention edit, and just saying "the banner" or "the sound clip" is not enough, and users may read this and not know what you mean or are referring to. 21:41, October 2, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Halloween Waluigi
He also clearly has fangs, it's less speculative to assume he's just wearing a regular old vampire costume until proven otherwise. Having a top hat doesn't instantly mean it's Jack the Ripper anyway. -- 10:55, October 8, 2021 (EDT)

RE: 9 Volt and Kat and Ana colors
That seems like an arbitrary combination of colours. The article is already going for the colour palettes of the Play-o-pedia backgrounds, which honestly looks better and more consistently coloured. Using two completely different colours just makes them look distracting. 23:22, October 14, 2021 (EDT)

Reminder
This has happened several times already. As I mentioned before, double-check the facts first, or if it's something like a trivia point, ask first whether it's noteworthy, or just focus edits on something other than factoids like these. 06:37, October 20, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Toad vs Toadette tour trailer background color
I don't play the game, so I wouldn't know. -- 12:25, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

RE:High End Pipe (Golden)
Sorry for the late reply. In my opinion, character variants have these traits: They are usually named like "Character (Variant)". In this case, "Birdo (Black)". They are basically the main character, but usually with a recolor or an outfit, they share their animations, usually have shared or recolored main character emblems and they probably won't have their own cup. Due to these traits, I consider Birdo (Black) a variant. 08:36, December 5, 2021 (EST)

RE:Only one R/T track for certain tours (excluding Berlin Byways 2)
This may be a bit too complicated for users to understand easily. Plus, this isn't that noteworthy, and I'm not sure why you want to exclude Berlin Byways 2. Also, the original Sydney Sprint's R/T variant also only appeared once during the first Sydney Tour. 04:07, December 8, 2021 (EST)

Missions
For consistency, you should follow the "Mission" format used on other microgame pages when adding microgame missions. 04:35, December 18, 2021 (EST)

RE:2022 New Years Tour
It's speculation that the inclusion of Meowser as a driver is a reference to the tiger. Unless it is noted or implied by Nintendo themselves, this is just a coincidence. They probably just chose Meowser because of 3DS Bowser's Castle. 21:47, December 24, 2021 (EST)

Warning
is an actual sport. Also, please don't just assume something "inspires" or is "referencing" something without any proof. 04:03, January 23, 2022 (EST)

I have had enough of this conflictive behavior
