5. I have the right to edit anything that violates these rules.

6. Overall, just follow the main rules of the wiki.

7. You can ask nicely for a friend request.

8. When responding with a "RE:" message, I will usually put the same reply here, too. You can reply to either one.

9. The page will be given an archive every 50 sections. Any messages regarding archives will be ignored.

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. User:Obsessive Mario 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)

Re:Mr. Eraser
My bad, that was just a copypaste error on my part. I completely forgot to change the description as I was editing the page, so thanks for letting me know before I kept moving on with these. If it happens again, feel free to point it out I suppose. :P--

Re:YCW Boss filenames
These are the subfolders in /Game/Assets/Characters/Boss: Some of these may be using Japanese names, but since not all of them are up on the wiki, I don't know for sure. Also, a note: I think this is the first time I've seen developers use "Kamek", since they use "Kameck" practically everywhere else. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:53, June 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * BabyKoopa (Baby Bowser)
 * BabyKoopaBig (Mega Baby Bowser)
 * BossDonburi (Burt the Ball)
 * BossPackun (Spike the Piranha), which (possibly coincidentally) shares its Japanese name with Petey Piranha
 * BossPirateShip (Yarrctopus' ship), with Yarrctopus itself referred to as its "Cannon"
 * GearWheel (Mr. Geary)
 * GigaDawnA (The Great King Bowser)
 * GigaDawnB</tt> (misc The Great King Bowser parts)
 * Kamek</tt> (Kamek)
 * KamekBig</tt> (Big Kamek)
 * KamekGigaDawn</tt> (Kamek's version of The Great King Bowser)
 * KamekSteelbird</tt> (Kamek's version of Tin-Can Condor)
 * KamekWaniwani</tt> (Kamek's version of Gator Train)
 * KarakuriArmor</tt> (Bushydo), despite not being a boss
 * KarakuriKing</tt> (Shogun of Skewers)
 * Steelbird</tt> (Tin-Can Condor)
 * Tyrannosaurus</tt> (Skelesaurus), despite not being a boss
 * Waniwanitrain</tt> (Gator Train)

Mario Party 10 activities
Hey, I'd like to confirm where you found Play an epic party, Mario Party 10 style on the Play Nintendo website. I searched all over but couldn't find it at all on the site. 12:40, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * I remember it being there, but I can't seem to find it either. I do remember it being on the Play Nintendo article originally, but it could have been taken off the website. 13:07, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

Play Nintendo games
Way to go adding all these games from play Nintendo to the wiki. We've got 99 on the list of games right now. 99. That's pretty insane. I myself have a sandbox with tons of content missing from the wiki. Super Mario fan 67 and Alex95 are working on helping me get it up. You can look at the sandbox if you want. It's easily accessible by looking at my recent edits. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:46, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's great! I work on pages I plan to make in my own sanbox, which has a lot in it at the moment. One thing: the names of the Play Nintendo games' articles don't use their name that appears in the box that links to them, but rather the page's name on the tab it's in (For example: Not Do you know how to party?, but Super Mario Party Fun Trivia Quiz). Otherwise, good job on expanding the List of games! 09:05, July 22, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Crumples, Torque, and Dream Gem
Hello. I'm not working on articles for Crumples or Torque right now. You can work on those, if you'd like to. -- 13:26, July 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK. What about the Dream Gem article? Are you working on that one? Also, I like your new signature. 15:23, July 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * I was actually working on that one for a while, but when I went to copy and paste it, my computer went out, so I had to basically rewrite it. I just finished. -- 09:09, July 26, 2019 (EDT)

Status
Can I make a suggestion? If you're really done using a status, use Template:Delete at the top of the page with your status to get it deleted by an administrator. Only if you're not using it anymore, as I noticed it's no longer on your user page. -- 15:16, July 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * I decided to remove my status box because I found it a bit overwhelming to update it every time my status changed. When I removed it, I still wasn't sure if I would simplify it to just a simple text box, or abandon it entirely. What I think I will do is use a specific navigation template if I know I will be inactive for a certain period of time. This would end up with my status' deletion, but if I end up wanting it back later, I can just re-add it. 16:07, July 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sounds good. -- 22:07, July 30, 2019 (EDT)

RE:Yoshi's Crafted World levels and worlds
Yes, go ahead and work on as many level articles as you'd like. 20:47, July 30, 2019 (EDT)

Taskmaster
Is there any confirmation the Taskmaster is the character Toad? 07:56, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * He calls himself "Taskmaster Toad" in-game. Although he could be referring to the species or just be another character named Toad, I think it's most likely that the Taskmaster is the character Toad. 11:12, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * While likely, this doesn't confirm for sure it's him. By your "(occupation) Toad" logic Captain Toad or Hint Toad would then be considered the character Toad. The best bet would be to simply create a "Taskmaster" page. 01:23, August 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * Since the Chief is clearly Toadette, I thought something similar would apply to the Taskmaster. 09:15, August 4, 2019 (EDT)

YCW
Hey! How’s your work for Yoshi’s Crafted World coming along? -- 14:09, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's going good! You can check my progress in my sandbox or the game's article itself. I created some level articles along with many articles on characters and objects. Overall, I'm making good progress. 17:05, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Excellent. I’m working on a few projects right now, mainly a complete list of Kersti quotes. Feel free to check out my page sometime! -- 17:45, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

Friend request
Hey, since we've been contributing together veru usually, here's my userbox code. . -- 15:50, August 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks! Feel free to add my userbox, too. Code:  15:55, August 4, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Friend Request
Hey, thanks!

Here’s mine:

You’re actually the first friend I’ve made here, on the wiki. Anyway, I just wanted to get back to you before you go offline for a few days. I check your page once in a while to see how it’s coming. It’s looking really good! Feel free to visit mine anytime.

Thanks for supporting Wiggler Wednesday! ;)-- 21:54, August 6, 2019 (EDT)

Difficulty
I need your help uploading an image file. I don't wanna screw anything up and it's too complicated. I can't obey all those rules. I need someone with experience. Please help me. Ireallydontcare123456789 uploaded 2 images of Japanese McDonald's game watch games based on Mario games that we also got in North America. They come from a site called russetburbank.net and the games 123456789 uploaded were of Mario's Egg Catch and Princess Toadstool's Castle Run. I found one for Luigi's Hammer Toss. By copying his code by reading it and putting it in my memo rather than using a computer, I think this code might work. I will give you the code if you agree to help me. There's no point in giving it to you if you decline or don't respond. Lord Falafel (talk) 01:30, August 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * I noticed you also asked on this. Although I don't think I am exactly as experienced with images as other users, I'm sure I can help you out. I currently don't have Photoshop on my laptop, but I do have a print screen button and a cropping tool in MS Paint. I should be able to screenshot the website, then crop the screenshot to show just the games.  10:43, August 20, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Yoshi's Crafted World Levels
I'd love to collaborate on the Yoshi's Crafted World levels! Here's my userbox:

I'm also on Discord if you want to chat and work on this stuff together.

-- 22:55, August 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sounds good! Are there any specific sections or levels you want to work on? I'll add your userbox once we've collaborated with an article or two. 11:08, August 26, 2019 (EDT)

I wouldn't mind tackling Smiley Flowers and getting the images uploaded, since I have a decent understanding of where those all exist within the game. Would that be good to you? -- 15:11, August 26, 2019 (EDT)
 * That works. 18:33, August 26, 2019 (EDT)

Enemy Counts
Hey can you figure out all of the enemy counts in the ones that dont have them? Killer (talk) 17:48, August 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yes. I'm working on it right now... you can help me out if you want. Just make sure your source shows all of the level. 17:54, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Sadly, I dont have a Nintendo Switch, so I may be useless. Killer (talk) 17:59, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Btw, you da best. Killer (talk) 18:00, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

For some of the enemy counts. Killer (talk) 18:01, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Mario jc helped with that too I think. Killer (talk) 18:01, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Didn't he? Killer (talk) 18:03, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure he did help too. Killer (talk) 18:04, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

How about you start out with the Super Mario Maker 2 enemy count? Killer (talk) 18:06, August 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * You should avoid commenting repeatedly several times. Just try to keep it all in one comment. 18:10, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Srry, bit chatty lately. Killer (talk) 18:13, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

By the way can you tell me how to do the stuff that everyone does on their user page on mobile? Killer (talk) 18:17, August 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Like said on your talk page, editing on mobile isn't really any different from on desktop. Most user pages start out small, and are expanded over time. Here's how mine started out. :P  18:42, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

But the edit thing doesn't show up. Killer (talk) 19:15, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

How so? Killer (talk) 19:15, August 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * You have to be autoconfirmed. To become autoconfirmed, you must wait one week and make at least ten edits. You can read more about this here. Also, make sure not to get so invested in userspace that you don't contribute to the wiki. 20:25, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Ok srry I was logged out for some reason, but could you do more of the jobs' enemy counts? I also think that Rotten Mushrooms are an enemy than an item Killer (talk) 07:52, August 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can add them, too. You can open a gameplay video showing the level and add the enemy counts. 14:45, August 28, 2019 (EDT)

How can I do that, I dont really know how to do all this coding stuff. Killer (talk) 17:50, August 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can read the Help section and possibly the introduction to help you get started. If there's any certain instructions you need, you can look in the help section. 18:04, August 28, 2019 (EDT)

Can you do the NO JUMPING ALLOWED! section pls Killer (talk) 16:58, August 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * I add enemy counts when I feel like it. If you want it done so quickly, you can do it yourself. 18:06, August 29, 2019 (EDT)

I cant, I dont have a Nintendo Switch or a video. Killer (talk) 18:13, August 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * You have internet access. I suggest using this video. 18:36, August 29, 2019 (EDT)

I cant, my mom has family link and I haven't said anything about the YouTube link! Killer (talk) 23:03, August 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * If you want to find a way to contribute to the wiki, I suggest looking through the wiki maintenance and possibly the recent changes. If the enemy counts are the only thing you want to add, I'm afraid I can't help you there. 11:02, August 30, 2019 (EDT)

Pls do it! I can't do anything about the enemy counts or anything else but fixing typos and some content! Killer (talk) 17:46, August 30, 2019 (EDT)

Adding some content* Killer (talk) 17:47, August 30, 2019 (EDT)

Thank you! Wanna be friends? Killer (talk) 22:06, August 30, 2019 (EDT)
