Here are more errors I found on [[MarioWiki:Glossary]]. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.
*"the smallest unit of storage - sufficient to hold one bit." (Change the hyphen to an en dash.)
*Since "bot" uses a plural definition, I think the word should be "bots."
*"Cover version (often shortened to cover)" (Put the second "cover" in quotation marks.)
*"Not to be confused with remix." (Put "remix" in quotation marks.)
*"It i'''s''' equivalent to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from which all other time zones are offset."
*"Not to be confused with cover version." (Put "cover version" in quotation marks.)
*"Short for ''Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message''." (Unitalicize "Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message" and put it in quotation marks, simply because other shortened forms on MarioWiki:Glossary are in quotation marks.)

:I think by "off-course", it means the player has to flying into the course's barrier, which will make them do an immediate U-Turn. The action would result in the Bullet Bill flying past them. I haven't played ''MP3'' in a long time, but that's how I'm understanding it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:37, July 6, 2021 (EDT)

::Mario jc did reply to my question, saying, "Maybe it can be changed to 'The only way the player can evade a Bullet Bill pursuing them is to veer away from its trajectory.' but this is based on footage I watched since I don't own the game." Now I'm wondering whether the sentence is referring to how a player can get rid of a Bullet Bill he or she launched or how a player can avoid it, the former sounding more likely.

::Maybe I misinterpreted "following Bullet Bill" as meaning the first Bullet Bill that a player launches. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 01:41, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
:::I think "following Bullet Bill" is referring the the Bullet Bill that is going after a player. I think this might work: "If being chased by a Bullet Bill, the player needs to head toward the arena's barrier, which will cause them to automatically turn around and make the Bullet Bill miss." Someone with ''MP3'' should verify, however. If only there was some kind of retro digital service Nintendo could've put this game on... {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:36, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
== What needs to be done. ==
I'm new here and I'm looking for something to do to help the wiki. [[User:GamerLover08|GamerLover08]] ([[User talk:GamerLover08|talk]]) 09:41, July 22, 2021 (EDT)
:Welcome! You can check out [[MarioWiki:Maintenance]] or [[The 'Shroom:Issue 172/The 'Shroom Spotlight|current Spotlight]] to see what needs to be done! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 09:58, July 22, 2021 (EDT)
== I'm back! ==
Hey, Alex! I'm back! I got my password reset! {{User:YoshiFan08/sig}}
:Hello! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:25, August 9, 2021 (EDT)
== Underwater ==
Hello! I'm planning to creating an article related to the underwater sections in Mario Kart courses. But I'm not sure that this article is required, as I'm afraid it might just get deleted. Can you give me some advice? {{User:WildWario/sig}} 06:05, August 31, 2021
:I don't think we accept stuff like that. We don't cover specific track segments as separate articles. But we have [[anti-gravity]], so maybe it's worth making a talk page question about it on the main talk page or something? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:48, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
::If I can suggest something, water/swimming is a common mechanic throughout the ''Mario'' franchise that I think might be worth making an article for it, like [[lava]] and [[poison (obstacle)|poison]]. Maybe a "Water" article can be created covering its appearances and effects in games, including the ''Mario Kart'' underwater sections. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:08, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
:::Thanks for your opinions. I'll try something like that out. {{User:WildWario/sig}} 22:17, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
::::[[Water]] is already something in Paper Mario, but yeah, a coverage like that would work. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:46, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
==Theme from a Summer's Place reference in the music for Deep Bloober Sea==
Hi again, I've come back to tell you that the music for Deep Bloober Sea in Mario Party 3 has a reference to Theme from a Summer's Place like Shy Guy Beach and Cheep-Cheep Island from Mario Kart Super Circuit which i've heard through comments on YouTube.

== Why would you ban me from your own discord? ==
When you welcomed me and I never caused trouble?

== Cap Block ==
I did a [[Talk:! Block#Make Cap Block an article|proposal for Cap Block]], but the result is "no consensus." In this situation, am I still free to create a Cap Block article? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 12:58, December 16, 2021 (EST)
:No. It'd be as if the proposal failed, i.e. nothing is going to happen. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:05, December 16, 2021 (EST)
== Punctuation in reference tags ==
Remember our talk about this? I want to let you know that according to [[MarioWiki:Citations#Using the reference system|MarioWiki:Citations]], "it's preferred to insert the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tag after any punctuation such as a comma or period." [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 15:19, December 26, 2021 (EST)
:Ye, I'm aware. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:43, December 26, 2021 (EST)
== 404 page ==
On your userpage, the "site that goes into more detail about [you], the games [you] have, etc." links to a 404 page "not found." [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 14:33, January 5, 2022 (EST)
:Ye, I'm aware. Where it went ended up getting deleted, so I'm working on fixing that. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:34, January 5, 2022 (EST)
== Spotlight ==
I would like to ask, weren't all of the spotlight goals except for Super Rush completed last month? {{User:WildWario/sig}} 20:19, January 15, 2022 (EST)
:It would look like they are. I guess they were finished after Yoshi876 posted an updated. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:48, January 18, 2022 (EST)
::Due to this, will the paragraph of the Spotlight section be changed? {{User:WildWario/sig}} 07:56, January 20, 2022 (EST)
==Ban==
To explain in short before other users question the reason, Alex95 is banned due to a sitewide consensus on our Discord channel: he had been asking large sums of money from multiple community members, and while he likely not directly involved with the alleged fraud that may have happened, he was still heavily complicit in his situation and we are banning him for the general safety of the community. He has also admitted that he shared his account with a third party who may have involved with the alleged fraud. Due to that, his ranks have additionally been stripped. He is [https://www.marioboards.com/members/5162/ additionally banned] on the forum and on our Discord. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 01:20, April 3, 2022 (EDT)
Would every NIWA wiki ban him as well?
{{User:Remembered Old Buddy/sig}}
I think so. It’s the only logical choice. {{User:OhoJeeOnFire/sig}}
