Userspace
Please try to edit some actual articles as well. Also, try to use the Show Preview button before saving your changes so you don't have to make ten edits in a row. Thanks, and keep contributing. -- 15:44, 27 January 2016 (EST)

Yes, I will try to edit more other pages it's just that i was trying to get started by creating my user page and stuff like that. And I was experimenting with stuff like the page color and fonts. Thanks for the notice and i will try to make Super Mario Wiki a great place. Captain Toad 20:23, 27 January 2016 (EST)
 * If you're extremely concerned about keeping your edit count on userspace low but want to continue experimenting with wiki format, you can always head over to our sandbox. And if you have any questions on how to format or other wiki-syntax-related things, don't be afraid to ask for help! 20:55, 27 January 2016 (EST)

OK I will go to the sandbox but if I have a question where should I put it? Captain Toad  21:06, 27 January 2016 (EST)
 * You can check our FAQ, but if your question isn't answered, you can ask on the FAQ talk page or directly contact users like me. By the way, check our own site notices to format your signature; it should show up as when you're directly editing. Finally, before you edit, make sure you use the "Show preview" button so you don't have to make repeated consecutive edits.  21:11, 27 January 2016 (EST)

OK, thank you for the help. 08:06, 28 January 2016 (EST)

I think you are allowed to not use the template at all if you do so choose. I have done that when isn't really necessary. -- 20:23, 30 January 2016 (EST)
 * OK, thanks for bringing that to my attention I didn't know it was important. 07:54, 31 January 2016 (EST)
 * You can also remove unused numbers, like so:
 * There is also the template so you don't have to use me. Usage:  produces . -- 22:08, 1 February 2016 (EST)

Personal Images
I'm going to take a guess here that the two recent images you uploaded (File:HAA 0001.JPG and File:HAA 0003 (2).JPG) are personal images. Tag them appropriately. Personal images for more details. -- 22:03, 1 February 2016 (EST)
 * I'm a little confused, what do I do? 08:00, 2 February 2016 (EST)
 * Just add to the two files I suspect are personal images. Specify your name like so:   . -- 17:05, 2 February 2016 (EST)
 * I'm still confused where in the text should I put it? 18:09, 2 February 2016 (EST)
 * You can put it anywhere. You can even remove if you want and put it in place of . -- 18:17, 2 February 2016 (EST)
 * Is this correct? Here? 09:19, 3 February 2016 (EST)
 * No, you need to put the template in the image file. Click on the links in the image file Wildgoosespeeder linked you (such as File:HAA 0001.JPG), edit the page, add the template there. Since someone already did it, you don't need to do it, but keep it in mind for the future. You don't need the template in your userpage, though! 15:22, 3 February 2016 (EST)
 * I think I get it now, all i have to do is when I uploaded it I should have put that in there. got it. 15:33, 3 February 2016 (EST)

Reminder
I understand it's part of being new, but your User and User talk edits are more than half your edits. You can get ideas on how to edit the wiki here or here. -- 15:54, 3 February 2016 (EST)
 * Alright I'm sorry, I really was just doing it because I was getting started. again I'm sorry and I'll start working on other main pages right away. 15:58, 3 February 2016 (EST)
 * It's fine, if you have any questions don't doubt to contact me :) -- 16:01, 3 February 2016 (EST)
 * Alright just where should I ask you? 16:02, 3 February 2016 (EST)
 * You can either ask me on this section (since I'm already commenting here), on drop me a line on my talk page. -- 16:16, 3 February 2016 (EST)

File Naming
I noticed that a few files you have uploaded were badly named and other editors had to fix it. Please review Image Use Policy. If you want to know a trick to name the file before it exists on MarioWiki, you can insert the markup first and then upload the image by clicking on the red link it will generate. When the page that had the redlink is refreshed after uploading, the image will appear automatically. I use this trick almost all the time. Hope this helps. -- 17:31, 6 February 2016 (EST)

Gliders
I don't know if you're aware (and if you weren't, how you were unaware), but there's already an article named Glider, without the plural...
 * I REALLY didn't know that there was already a page about gliders I must have only searched "Gliders". So you can delete it whenever you like but I Really had NO idea. Sorry 07:22, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Re: Your sig
Hi! My sig uses the current date in a switch to determine what to display. You can view the source code of it any time to see how it works, but here's a summary. The top line is the start of the switch, which contains the date. #default is used if the date doesn't match the specified ones underneath it. Following lines each contain a date and the text to be shown on that date. The date is formatted as dd-mm, in numbers and without leading zeroes. Note the | and = characters, those are required as that is part of the switch. You can place pretty much everything in every sig you want. Mine has different colours and greets for example.

I hope this helped you out :) Good luck! 13:02, 23 March 2016 (EDT)

Thanks, this was helpful. 20:27, 23 March 2016 (EDT)

Categorizing images
Hey there. Just a friendly reminder to categorize images by game as you upload them. For example,  

Thanks for reading, and keep contributing.

Personal Image
Hey, you want me to add transparency to so it matches ? -- 16:07, 24 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes please. Thank you. -- 07:40, 25 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Done. -- 23:26, 25 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Thank you very much. 08:25, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
 * You're welcome. By the way, I left a comment on User talk:/sig. -- 14:00, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

Personal Images
Just be sure to use File:SMM funny death.gif somewhere on your userpage. If you don't, it will appear Special:UnusedFiles and may have its tag be changed to. Also, you have one more slot open for a personal image as far as I can tell. -- 17:19, 29 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm going to, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. How long do I have? -- 12:41, 30 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Doesn't matter now because it is linked. I don't think there is a duration. It can just happen. I've tagged a few abandoned images in Special:UnusedFiles attempting to clear it out. If a user notices a personal image deletion that they didn't want to happen, they can just ask a sysop for it to be restored. -- 15:51, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
