Preview button
Try to avoid making too many edits to one page, especially your user page, as this can clutter the page's history and flood the recent changes. Use the "Show preview" button next to the save button to check your work and continue editing, then save when you are ready to publish the edit. 16:52, 25 February 2019 (EST)
 * Oh...I didn't realize my user page edits show up there, too! I thought saving frequently would prevent a lot of work having to be redone if I accidentally exited out. I will try to reduce this problem. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 14:52, April 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can set the recent changes to only show certain namespaces (mainspace, userspace, files, etc.), but most people just keep it to the default everything as far as I know.
 * You can also edit pages in a Word document or something, you can save as many times as you want to there, and then carry over the text to your userpage when it's done. Downside there is you can't preview any wiki changes :P 17:08, 25 February 2019 (EST)
 * Well, you can preview your changes and don't save them. I do think the WikiEd addon lets you save backups of changes, but it takes extra to load all those buttons, so I don't use it myself. 17:14, 25 February 2019 (EST)
 * I know I'm late here, but I recently decided that I would create my own sandbox to keep my unfinished revisions. Obsessive Wario Fan (talk) 22:02, May 16, 2019 (EDT)

Userpage
While getting to know you better is all well and good, you've been editing your userpage rather extensively over the past couple of days. Be sure to mix in some helpful edits as well! 18:16, 27 February 2019 (EST)

Enemy Counts
I noticed you added enemy counts for NSMBW World 1-4 and some levels of Super Mario World. I'm currently endeavoring to compile accurate enemy counts for SMB 1-3, SMW, and the NSMB games. Please feel free to double check my counts and/or add counts to pages that are empty if you want to help me in this.
 * Enemy counts are one of the easier things to add, since I have access to a lot of level maps and videos. It's easier with levels that are more linear. Feel free to check any mistakes I make, too. :) Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 16:26, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

Images
You don't need to add Category:Game 3D renders to images, at that is automatically applied when you select the template. 19:54, May 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, abbreviations of game titles such as MKDS should still be properly capitalized as if they were fully spelt out, even in file names. 20:07, May 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Got it. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 20:08, May 3, 2019 (EDT)

Warning
Editing my vote 14:14, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sorry about that! Your votes were actually not there when I added mine. They must have disappeared due to a conflict. You probably started editing after I did, but saved your changes before I did. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 14:20, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Either way, a reminder was supposed to be given, not a warning. OMF, you should probably check twice a page before editing it. Or maybe even check what revision of the page you are editing, since it can happen as well. 14:25, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * You should appeal this warning anyways, as it was obviously an accident. A formal reminder instead of an actual reminder would be better, as you never done anything bad, and mistakes like this can happen. 14:28, May 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Good point... it should be up to the admins. Sorry for my misunderstanding. 14:41, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

User has apologized, and this is obviously a mistake, not one meant to cause trouble. This thing tends to happen when editing the whole page rather than a section, though, so maybe edit a specific section next time so the wiki alerts you when a conflict does happen in that spot. 15:52, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

RE:My gripe about level articles on the wiki
It seemed to me that many level articles just lack a lot of content. Pages for Wario Land II (see Avoid the rocks!), Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (see Multi-Vator Mayhem), Yoshi's Woolly World (see Lava Scarves and Red-Hot Blarggs)... All of these have a lackluster introduction and a rushed layout section that skims over a couple of elements and doesn't go into any detail. Sometimes, these two sections are combined. They are not the worst of the wiki, though, because they at least contain information about important collectibles. By far the worst level articles pertain to Yoshi's New Island, which fail even in that regard, practically making them a complete waste of Internet space that doesn't benefit anybody. Wanna know where to find that elusive Smiley Flower in whatever level? Wanna look up it quickly without loading some video on YouTube and then sliding the progress bar where it might show the collectible? Well, too bad, you're not having any of that. My criticism is meant to raise awareness to that very point--that a level article should at least contain information about things that might be desirable for the reader to know. Actually, that applies to any article.

And yes... that means adding information about where to find the crafts and Poochy Pups in the most recent article you wrote. :P Just a little light criticism if you accept it... You're doing a good job otherwise. And an advice: if there is anything essential in a level, just anything that pretty much defines it in some way, you can write about it briefly in the introduction paragraph! For example, this level from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has you find different keys in order to open chests, which is mentioned at the beginning of its page. 17:35, May 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the info! Also, I usually work on large projects in my sandbox, mostly edits that I don't think I can do in one sitting. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 18:28, May 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, I didn't see those projects in your sandbox. I apologize. Keep up the good work! 18:33, May 18, 2019 (EDT)

Categories
Hi, would you mind changing every instance of  to   and   to  ? We don't usually allow userspace pages in mainstream categories. Thanks! 18:14, May 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * Fixed. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 18:38, May 20, 2019 (EDT)

Moving files
After moving a file, please check the "What links here" on the side bar and correct any links leading to the redirect to link to the new file name. 16:44, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks for letting me know. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 16:48, May 21, 2019 (EDT)

Game titles
Keep in mind that game titles still need to be italicised even in section headers. Other than that, thanks for your work on the Mario Land levels! 07:17, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oops, I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder! Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 10:29, May 25, 2019 (EDT)

"Vandalism"
This is actually true, as the way it was worded made it talk about the hidden wall where the P Switch is (on the left) then the hidden wall with the Star Coin. You should not automatically flag edits as vandalism and should see if they are true or not first. Even if the user's edit was false, it was so minor and the user was new enough that it should be assumed that an edit like that would be a mistake. Thanks for your understanding. 09:13, May 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I thought it seemed like vandalism, but we'll have to see what the user does next to know for sure. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 09:15, May 26, 2019 (EDT)

Thanks! (Re:Yarrctopus)
Thanks, I mean it. We can work on some articles together when we have some time, if you want - I know you are busy and all. I can upload any image from my computer. You can handle all the Super Mario Land levels and Wario: Master of Disguise levels, as I don't have any games like that. You can also work on the first few levels of Yoshi's Crafted World, as I see you have made progress on quite a few of those. I would like to have some info on a few of the enemies and mini-bosses, but I have just started the game, so it could take me a while. Likewise, you have started on Checkpoint Bell and Winged Timer Cloud, so you're good with those. If there is anything you want from me or want me to do, just let me know. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 14:40, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * You're welcome! If you have anything to add to the articles I'm working on, feel free to let me know. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 14:48, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * On a related note, are you working on an article for Dream Gem? And if not, could that be something I work on? They are an important part of the game. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 17:38, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm not working on that one right now. You can create that one on your own, if you would like to. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 17:41, June 9, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Not making conjectural articles
It's specifically for the Shy Guys and Ukirilla. Regarding the Ukirillas, i feel they should all be covered in one article, given that they are all separate individuals, and if they aren't, if they get merged, their page may risk deletion. Regarding the Shy Guys, we do have articles for some of the new variants, which are official names. However, some of them are not named, so if they turn out to be just normal Shy Guys with multiple behaviors, they may be deleted if they get merged. For the tinfoil Mel, which i didn't mention, same, it's best to cover it on the Mel article until we have an official name for it. Is there any Prima guide, and/or Shogakugan guide? -- 13:16, June 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Prima Games was discontinued due to a large decline in strategy guide sales, so I doubt there will be a guide from them. I don't know if there is or will be a Shogakugan guide. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 13:27, June 11, 2019 (EDT)

Episode 10 title card
Done. 18:32, June 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 18:36, June 11, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Sandboxes
Thanks for letting me know! Currently working on articles for scraps in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. I like your signature. --WigglyWiggler (talk) 14:40, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Profiles from digital manuals
Hey, thanks for noticing all the work I put into contributing the digital manual information! Honestly, I kind of just do whatever I can find that I have access to, since the 3DS I'm using to get the info isn't my own. I'm fortunate that my brother had access to all the Ambassador Program titles, as I'm sure there's a great deal of a bit more obscure information in them in terms of official names (including in other languages) due to their limited nature. A big prioity of mine is trying to add more bios and descriptions and the like, as that kind of information isn't used too much. I've even tried my hand at helping other NIWA wikis with what titles I have access to.

Anyway, things I plan on trying to find from digital manuals include WarioWare Gold, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart 7, New Super Mario Bros 2, and possibly more if I can get my hands on some things. I also recently found a bunch of old GameCube boxes with the manuals still in tact so I may try to lend a hand in that regard as well.--
 * I added descriptions from the digital manuals for Mario Kart 7 and New Super Mario Bros 2. I also am adding bios from websites for games. Currently, I am mainly focusing on older websites such as ones for 3DS games and the remaining Wii U game sites, because I know they are closer to being taken down by Nintendo. 15:38, June 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * Working from the Wii U sites is actually a great idea! I haven't yet bothered with descriptions from old sites, tho I do know my way enough around a lot of them to make it easy to do that if I can later on.--

LM3 images
The Luigi's Mansion 3 images you uploaded from Nintendo Life and Nintendo's E3 website were originally JPG files, uploaded as PNG files. In the future, please upload files in the same format as they were in the source, as converting between the two goes against our image use policy. 06:18, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Some images were web links, so I had to convert them in order for them to be uploaded. Should those kinds of files be converted anyway, or left alone? 12:19, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * I see. They're image links now, so they must have changed them. A way to get around the web links was to go to "View page source" to find the image links there (that's how I got File:Luigi's Mansion 3 Logo 2.jpg). 21:55, June 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I'll make sure to use it in the future. 22:52, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

WMOD
Are you still working on that final episode? Looking at your sandbox, aside from the infobox and the parts taken from the Allergia Gardens article, you haven't touched it. 14:15, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * I was planning to work on it later, but you can work on the two remaining sections instead. I'll allow you to copy/paste what I have for the episode's article (and only that article) into your sandbox; you'd probably do a better job on it than I would. 16:37, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK. You look like you have a lot on your plate anyway. 17:17, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Game systems
Now, I usually do in fact specify which game system the Virtual Xonsole descriptions come from, but if a game has only ever been on one system on Virtual Console, then I usually just leave it as is. For example, Game Boy games on Virtual Console have only ever been on the 3DS, so I didn't really feel the need to specify that that's what Virtual Console they were from, as that's the only instance that's applicable. I guess including the descriptor is nice anyway, but I guess I didn't really think it was necessary.--
 * That's what I thought; I just think it's best to include it in case the game gets released on Virtual Console for another system later (which is unlikely right now). 17:09, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
