Red Links
Don't remove red links, okay? H K


 * Red links signify a need to create an article about the subject, putting it on the most wanted page. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 17:26, 6 August 2006 (EDT)


 * If a red link page (in this case, Elite & Dark Wizzerd) is included in another page, in this case Wizzerd, instead of removing the red links (again), you could have done two things:


 * 1) Use (Elite/Dark) Wizzerd
 * 2) Create those two pages as a redirect page: #REDIRECT Wizzerd.


 * Red links actually contribute to the Super Mario Wiki, even if they look ugly. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 19:58, 6 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Okay. I've been a member at Wikipedia for some time now, and everyone there was frantic over removing red links.  Thanks for correcting me.  I enjoy it, really.

Race Courses
Please see PipeProject:Mario Kart for proper ways to end a race or battle course article. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 19:38, 29 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Okay. Thank you!

Use of "You"
Thank you for your recent articles. However, I must point out that the use of the word "you" is frowned upon in Mario Wiki articles. If you can, could you please change "you" to either a character's name, or "player" if it refers specifically to an action that needs to be performed by a gamer. Also, you can use the words "driver" or "racer" when writing race course articles. Thanks again. -- Son of Suns


 * Thank you.Waluigi Freak 99 17:56, 9 September 2006 (EDT)

Chubby
Please check the Chubby and Talk: Chubby pages and give me your input. -- Son of Suns

Reply: Redirects
Paper Jorge is right, WF99, yet PJ, you can't expect WF99 to search here for the answer. ;) The first section, Red Links, an old comment about the Wizzerd articles, shows the code.
 * 1) REDIRECT article

When you preview it, it will look like
 * 1) REDIRECT article

but the code will kick in when the page is created. In addition, the redirect code must be the only wiki code on the whole page. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 22:32, 10 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Oh, okay. I tried just typing in #REDIRECT [article], but it didn't seem to do anything.  The preview looked like you said it would.  Now I know it's supposed to do that.


 * Thanks.Waluigi Freak 99 16:22, 11 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Did you use double brackets? Or is the problem already solved? -- Son of Suns


 * Oh. Yes, I used double brackets.  I just didn't type in double brackets here because I didn't want the word "ARTICLE" to appear on the most wanted pages. ;)  It's taken care of, though.  Thanks.

Mini-games
Maybe you should explain the controls as well as the object of the minigame. Just a thought. <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 17:28, 11 September 2006 (EDT)


 * That'd be a help. Thanks for the tip.Waluigi Freak 99 17:29, 11 September 2006 (EDT)
 * Be sure to say "the player" instead of "you" or the SMWikify PipeProject will be breathing down your neck. ;) Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 17:41, 11 September 2006 (EDT)
 * By the way, the category is now at Category: Mini-games (with the hyphen), not Minigames. <font color="#C0D9D9">Monty Mole 21:05, 11 September 2006 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the work, MM. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 21:17, 11 September 2006 (EDT)

Category Links
Hey, WF99, a FYI on an advanced editing technique:

I noticed you removed the category links on this page. Actually, by adding a : in the link, it directly links to the category page, not adding this page to the category itself: Category: Items produces Category: Items, and there is no category box at the end of the page. Same goes to internally link images: Image:Yoshimariocap.jpg produces Image:Yoshimariocap.jpg, without adding the image. You can even pipe the link: Enemies Category, Luigi Image. Keep up the good work on mini-games. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 17:40, 12 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Thanks.Waluigi Freak 99 17:44, 12 September 2006 (EDT)

Template
I noticed you made the template for the Super Strikes. Can you teach me how to do that? Because I want to make one for the Special Shots in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. Monty Mole ( Talk&middot;Contribs ) 17:48, 24 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Sure. Tips on your talk page.Waluigi Freak 99 19:50, 24 September 2006 (EDT)


 * I made the template, but it's too big vertically. Do you know how to split it up into two columns? Monty Mole ( Talk&middot;Contribs ) 20:26, 25 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Nope. You should see Wayoshi about that.  Could you provide a link to the template, please?Waluigi Freak 99 20:29, 25 September 2006 (EDT)


 * I already asked Son of Suns,but he's offline right now. I wanted to know if you knew how. Oh, and the template is at Template: Special Shots Monty Mole ( Talk&middot;Contribs ) 20:30, 25 September 2006 (EDT)

archive
can you make me an archive

(This previously unsigned comment was made by Superchao.


 * I really don't know how, sorry. See User:Monty Mole about that.Waluigi Freak 99 20:16, 24 September 2006 (EDT)


 * HE DIDN'T RESPOND! Superchao 20:20, 24 September 2006 (EDT)


 * You can't expect him to be active every waking moment of the day; he's probably offline. Wait; I think I might be able to figure it out.  Hold on.
 * Waluigi Freak 99 20:24, 24 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Sorry, can't help you. :(

Damsels...
Change the name. Damsels implies female. Superchao 20:16, 25 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Untrue. Damsels can also be male.Waluigi Freak 99 20:17, 25 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Well, it would make more sense to say like victims. Superchao 20:18, 25 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Victims would change the category. For example, Bowser was victim to Mario's jump, but that doesn't mean he was kidnapped.  I think it's fine the way it is.Waluigi Freak 99 20:19, 25 September 2006 (EDT)

Sorry to dampen your hopes, but just how many damsels are there on the wiki? It doesn't seem to warrant a PipeProject. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 20:47, 25 September 2006 (EDT)


 * Technically speaking, anyone who was rescued by anyone is technically a "damsel". But, yeah, that's why I brought it to the suggestions page first.  I'll remove it if you want me to.  It really doesn't matter if you have a Pipe Project or not, as long as you're helping the Wiki.Waluigi Freak 99 17:22, 26 September 2006 (EDT)
 * The only problem with the suggestion is that there aren't many articles on damsels on the wiki and there aren't many damsels total in the Marioverse. Wayoshi ( T&middot;</tt>C&middot;</tt>@ ) 17:23, 26 September 2006 (EDT)


 * True. Suggestion removed.Waluigi Freak 99 17:25, 26 September 2006 (EDT)
