Writing guidelines
I think you need to know a few things about how articles are supposed to be written. First of all, we don't say "you" when referring to the player, either we say the playable character's name or "the player" depending on the context. Don't put subjective things in articles, such as stating which bosses are easiest or areas are biggest. You don't need to put "Note:" when stating something, either just start a new sentence or paragraph. Lastly, game titles must be italicised, which is done by putting two apostrophes on each side (not quotation marks) e.g. Paper Mario: The Origami King. You should see Manual of Style and Good Writing for more regarding our guidlines. Thanks for reading. 21:33, February 24, 2021 (EST)
 * Regarding the creation of Flashy Mushroom, you included the use of the word "you" in it, didn't italicise every time, and you need to put any relevant navigation templates and categories at the bottom of the page. One other thing I should mention, you tried physically writing out a "stub" notice at the top. All you would need to do for that is write it as " " and it would appear as you intended it to be.  22:09, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Please follow the guidelines that have been pointed out to you; they are important, and it's a hassle for others to constantly fix these mistakes or point them out to you. The Shiny Hammer article was missing a few things, two of which you were already notified for above for previous article creations:


 * Remember to italicise any game titles you type out yourself. You place the title between two pairs apostrophes, on each side . This should be done both in text and in headings.
 * Don't capitalise after a comma, Like this. Words should be capitalised if it's the first word of a new sentence (after a period) or a proper noun.
 * Categories should be added at the bottom of the page (in this case, Category:Paper Mario: Sticker Star Items and Category:Paper Mario: The Origami King Items).

Be sure to check your articles to see what fixes were made. For future articles, if you need to, there's nothing wrong with looking at other similar articles and seeing how they are structured. 21:26, March 26, 2021 (EDT)
 * A warning will most likely be given if you keep using "you" on articles from this point. Also, please stop responding to talk page discussions that are from a few years ago. 10:32, March 27, 2021 (EDT)

Flashy Iron Boots was better. A few things: 21:43, April 11, 2021 (EDT)
 * The name of the article should have been bolded, not italicised ("Flashy Iron Boots are items...").
 * Remember to add navigation templates above the categories.
 * A minor error, but the image caption for the sticker was missing italics for Paper Mario: Sticker Star and "In" was capitalised.

Can i delete the page above this? I now now the "(Number)px" thing, ect. 19:38, April 19, 2021 (EDT)


 * No, deleting comments is not allowed, and it's better to keep them for future reference anyway.


 * Also, please make sure you're signing with your signature page at all times and not raw code that's different from it. Any change you want to make to your signature, you make on your signature page.  22:37, April 19, 2021 (EDT)

You're still using raw code that's different from your signature to sign your comments. Please change your preferences to sign with your signature page, then if you want to change your signature's appearance, do it on the signature page, not on your preferences. That raw signature is too long anyway. 22:37, April 22, 2021 (EDT)

Images and linking
When putting images in articles, all you need to do is code it like this:. This will cause the image to display rather than just showing the link. The same goes with article links, you can link them like: Bowser. I know you only did this on your userpage, but I just thought I would show you how this is done properly, even to make your userpage look how you intend it to be. 11:28, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Thank you. I was about to ask someone how they do that. (Your Probably Already Know It's Me Since This Is My Page.) And, how do you make a user box tower? (I joined 1 or 2 years ago so i have no idea how.)
 * I'm not sure how to do a userbox. I noticed that a lot of images in your userpage are way too big, you can reduce their sizes with PMTOK Bobby.png (the "px" part determines how big the image is). And you can easily sign your comments with ~ 13:35, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Show preview
If you want to see how your edits look before saving the page, use "Show preview". You can continue editing until you are ready to save the page. Doing this prevents repeated edits to the same page, flooding the Recent Changes and page's history. 12:08, March 10, 2021 (EST)
 * Also, pages like Clone Jump are too short to be an article. Please look at other similar pages for proper article building, and also take a look at our help guides. The article will be deleted, as we don't accept stub articles, but you are free to recreate it once you have more information. 12:11, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Alright, but why would they say "See Clone Jump" on Double Cherry, if it doesn't exist? And, how do you make a user box tower? (I joined 1 or 2 years ago so i have no idea how.)
 * It's requesting the page be made, but if you don't have enough information to make the page, you should hold off until you do. As for the userbox tower, instructions are here. Also, sign your comments with four ~, how you are doing it now is causing your entire userpage to be displayed here on your talk page. 12:27, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Thanks for telling me. User:Dreamy Bowser

Hey, How do you change your username? User:Dreamy Bowser
 * You can request your name to be changed here. An admin will then eventually change your username. 13:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Not to be inpatient, but it's been hours and i don't know if it was approved or not. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 15:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)User:Dreamy Bowser

You are still editing your userpage extensively after the past couple of hours. Please use show preview to check your edits so you can save everything at once. 17:32, March 10, 2021 (EST)
 * Yeah, try not to make too many edits to your userpage at once, you should really be editing mainspace articles a lot more often. 20:24, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Alright, but how do you make a user box? this is what im talking about, just an example, but User:Fawfulthegreat64 Has a user box. (Or whatever it's called.)) Dreamy Bowser (talk) 21:20, March 10, 2021 (EST)User:Dreamy Bowser

Nevermind, it's called a info box. How do i make one? Dreamy Bowser (talk) 13:11, March 11, 2021 (EST)
 * You can take a look at infoboxes on other user pages or copy the coding from one of the wiki infoboxes. But also
 * You are not following what we've been telling you, and you been editing your userpage extensively. Mix in some other main article edits as well, and use Show preview to check your work without having to save rapidly. 17:22, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Alright, I'll Stop Editing For A While. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 17:23, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Signature creation
If you want to create your signature, there is a link on this page where you can do so. This will also explain how to put images on it. Just make sure you follow the rules on Signatures. 21:32, March 22, 2021 (EDT)

You can link to the pages you meant to by using User:Bowser64, User talk:Bowser64, and Special:Contributions/Bowser64. -- 12:29, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Warning
Despite the above, you continue to edit your userpage with very little focus on the main wiki itself. The only article you've edited since your userpage creation is Double Mario, and we need to see more of that. While I'm glad you want us to get to know you better, the Super Mario Wiki is not a profile site. 11:20, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Ok Then. Dreamy Bowser (talk) 20:28, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Its vs. it's
"It's" is the short form of "it is", while "its" is the possessive pronoun, so the correct way to use the latter would be "its port", not "it's port". Also, rather than saying "...and is in its port", try to use more professional language like "...and reappears in its port". 23:36, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Reminder
Please write with proper grammar and style on articles. Not only were you still writing in second-person in your last edit after being notified twice, you're not capitalising proper nouns like "mario", "toad" and "bob-omb". You also tend to overuse commas and use periods less often. Make sure to use periods when starting a new sentence (e.g. "This glitch can end if Mario enters a battle, though cutscenes do not fix the glitch." should be a separate sentence from the previous info), otherwise just using commas leads to s. Whether creating a new article or just adding information to an existing one, it's strongly recommended you read through the guidelines that were linked to you, especially Manual of Style. 21:20, March 24, 2021 (EDT)

Hey, i'm reading the warning policy and it says "Please note that any sockpuppets of an existing account are automatically banned.", what is a sockpuppet exactly? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)


 * A sockpuppet is an extra account created by the same person, sometimes to pretend to be someone else or to evade a block.


 * Also, regarding your signature, you're only allowed one GIF, and it should be 35 pixels or less in height per Signatures.  21:52, March 24, 2021 (EDT)

Ok. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Reminding you that you still used "it's" during your recent edit in the Fire Breath article. You don't need to link every single instance of names being used, only do that the first time that name is used. There is also no need to pipe link plurals, that should be done like this: Fury Blocks and will appear just fine. Regarding the section headers of Super Mario 3D World, you should format them like this: Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, leaving a space before and after the slash. 16:45, March 26, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, i'll add those changes then. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Why is everything with M's Name Now Gone? Is it because it's April Fools Day or because its past March 31st? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)
 * Most likely it's just for today. Should be back to normal tomorrow. 17:34, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

This shouldn't still be an issue after you were reminded multiple times. Stop using "you" on articles. 00:51, April 13, 2021 (EDT)

What article did i say "You"? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)


 * I linked it in the warning: Fury Bowser.


 * Also, make sure you use your file File:Bowser64 Sig.png or it will be deleted. If you want to use the text part for your signature, you can use an image editing tool like MS Paint to crop out the surrounding black space. 22:52, April 13, 2021 (EDT)


 * One more thing, in the future when uploading more personal images, just remove the if you're not using it and  once you've tagged it with .  23:17, April 13, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, i also don't know how to crop. im on a laptop. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)


 * You can still use apps like MS Paint (or Paint.NET or Photoshop if you have them) on a laptop. On Paint, use the "Select" tool and drag it over the part you want, then click "Crop". 08:11, April 14, 2021 (EDT)

Will this thing called "Adobe Photoshop Express:Photo Editer College Maker" Work? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Nevermind, doing Source URL works. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Other users' comments in talk pages
Editing other peoples' talk page comments is not allowed, even if it is to fix a spelling mistake, so please stop doing that. 20:46, April 2, 2021 (EDT)

Ok 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Can we be friends?
Can we be friends please? Userbox:  16:21, April 4, 2021 (EST)

Sure Man. Heres My userbox too. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

This image
Are you going to keep that as a personal image? If so, it should be tagged with, and should be used on your userspace. 16:57, April 4, 2021 (EDT)

Yes, Also Are you able to change the name of the file to "Bowser64_Image.png"? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)
 * You can do that via the "move" tag on the top of the page. 17:05, April 4, 2021 (EDT)

How do you remove the black screen on a image? For some reason when i upload it it has a black background, even, your signature image has no black background. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Userspace Alert
Since the warning above, you have edited main articles seven times, which is nice. But you also edited your own userspace 42 times. You currently have 115 userspace edits against your 18 main article ones.

Please ignore your userpage for now until you have more main edits to surpass it. Otherwise, you will lose userpage editing entirely. 20:06, April 6, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, I got 105 edits against all of my 115 Userspace ones, apparently, i need 11 (Or more) edits to surpass the 115. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Now i got 117 edits against my 115 userspace ones. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Question.
Should i add the locations of the Toad Brigade members in SM3DW+BF's article? I know the articles for the members like Hint Toad show it's location, but it would've make more sense if it was told on the Game's article too. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)
 * I can't really find a good spot for that on the game's article, although their locations are shown on the Lake Lapcat article. Yellow Toad's one could be elaborated a bit though. 14:43, April 10, 2021 (EDT)

Good think it was Yellow Toad, Convienetly, i already found it's location in the game. By the way, i added where Yellow Toad's location in the Lake Lapcat Article. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)
 * Just three things, Yellow Toad is a disambiguation page which should not really be linked to within main articles. The correct article link in this case is Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade) which should be pipe linked. Also, only the first instance of that name in a section should be linked. Lastly, try not to write like a strategy guide. 15:09, April 10, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, also, in a part of the Bowser's Fury section of the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury article, it doesn't make sense how Fury Shadow isn't in the enemies images section near the bosses, it even says on the Fury Shadow article that it's an enemy, should i add a image of the Fury Shadow in that section? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Nevermind. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

How do you make an image without a black background? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Uploads
18:37, April 11, 2021 (EDT)

Please review the above reminders carefully. In the Summary, you're supposed to remove the parts that read "Subject of the image", "Artist" etc. and fill them in; don't remove the "aboutfile" part. For the category,  is incorrect; it should be   ("Category:" prefix, full game title, "Images" at the end, and square brackets, not curly).

A lot of the mistakes you're making are a result of not reading your talk messages carefully, so please pay closer attention to what users are telling you when they're giving advice. 08:53, April 14, 2021 (EDT)

You got the category correct, but you're still removing "aboutfile" which gets rid of the template. Fill in the details underneath it and remove any you don't need, like this. Also, it's easier if you change the file name when you upload in the "Destination filename" field rather than moving it afterwards. 09:32, April 14, 2021 (EDT)

File:Bowser Game Over.gif - Almost; remember to remove any parameters you're not using like Alex did here. 21:56, April 14, 2021 (EDT)

I just want to let you know that these sprites are actually from the game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, not Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. 12:59, April 15, 2021 (EDT)

I didn't know because i typed in google "Mario & Luigi: Bowser's inside story Gifs". 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)
 * I should probably have said this earlier, but it's normally not really a good idea to take images straight from Google Images to use on mainspace articles, even though most of the sprites you uploaded have been good enough to use on the mainspace. It's just the Spike Ball one however that is questionable. I think if you're going to keep taking sprites from Google Images, you may want to make sure it is an official sprite or which game it is from before you upload them. 13:48, April 19, 2021 (EDT)

Well, you could tell by the images what game there from. 15:45, April 19, 2021 (EDT)

Black Background in images.
When i upload images, they have this black background, how can i remove it? 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Duplicate images
Hey, I wanted to let you know that the two images you uploaded for the Fury Bowser article are duplicates of existing images, File:SM3DWBF Screenshot Fury Bowser 2.png and File:SM3DWBF Screenshot Fury Bowser 9.png.

Two images with the exact same look are redundant, so when you upload a new image, try to make sure that it doesn't already exist on the page you want to upload it to. If it does, you don't need to upload that same image.

0blivion (talk) 19:48, April 11, 2021 (EDT)

It isn't the same. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Userspace Edits Surpassed.
Alright, i got a lot more edits to surpass my 115 userspace ones, i got 146. (33 + 42 + 41 + 4 + 20 + 1 + 5 = 146, the numbers making 146 are all of my edits besides my userspace ones.) 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

154 Edits against the userspace ones.. 14:51, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Anyone anwsering?

Comfirm Email
Hey, this is not entirely about this wiki, but | This Wiki isn't letting me comfirm my email. Why's that?
 * You probably shouldn't use your talk page to talk about what happens outside of this wiki because it's hindering on what not to do on your userspace. As for the wiki, you might have to check your email if they gave you the confirmation code. Your spam inbox may also have the confirmation email. 15:10, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Status subpage
As stated here, this kind of subpage is not allowed. This should be moved to your main userpage. 13:49, April 25, 2021 (EDT)
