Hi, just a reminder to please always remember to capitalise proper nouns next time (e.g. "Boos" and "SecuriMeows", not "boos" and "securimeows"). Also, keep in mind that the pronoun is spelled "which", not "[[wikipedia:Witch|witch]]". Thanks. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 05:30, 15 August 2016 (EDT) |

Editing
Hey I like that you're contributing but you are just constantly editing the same page you should really try to edit other pages too thanks and keep contributing. :) (talk) (edits) 06:13, 20 July 2016 (EDT)
- He was editing on one page because he was trying to get the formatting for a link right; there was no need to tell him that. Mario JC
Linking
Just FYI, to create a link, simply type the name of the page you're linking to inside four square brackets, like so: [[Dry Bones]]
Or click on the chain icon in the tool bar above the textbox. Also, in case you want to check how your edits look before you click "Save page", please use the "Show preview" button. For more information on editing, click the links in the Welcome notice above. Thanks. Mario JC
RE: Character infobox
When adding a character infobox, you must use the attributes listed here. So that means "real name" wouldn't work, because it doesn't exist, so "full_name" is used instead. Additionally, "first_appearance" needs to be all lowercase (as should every other attribute), and any spaces between attributes should be replaced with underscores (as I just did). Unfortunately, "Date of Birth" is also non-existent, so the only way you can add it is to create an entire new infobox from scratch. Any attributes you don't plan on using can be excluded. Now your code should be written like so:
{{character-infobox |title=Koopas lost shell |image=[[File:3DGreenShellMLDT.png]] |full_name=Nabil Elalam |first_appearance=20 July 2016 (As Nabz) 4 August 2016 (Koopas lost shell) }}
Just a tip: You don't need to type in the full URL for images found on MarioWiki; just the image title (as above). Hope this helps! Mario JC
Duplicate Image
Just wanted to let you know that the File:Kirby Listening To Music.gif you uploaded already exists as . The one you uploaded may be put up for deletion at some point, possibly soon. I suggest using the already uploaded file so we don't have duplicates of the same file on the wiki. 10:50, 5 August 2016 (EDT)
Hey
Thanks for the tip actually, next time I'll inform myself about the files I upload before uploading. Koopas lost shell 11:01, 5 August 2016 (EDT)
- Cool. You swap out the file name and I'll mark the other one up for deletion. 11:06, 5 August 2016 (EDT)

Reminder
Hello, ManKoops. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded coding is shown below. {{aboutfile |1=Subject of the image |2=Where you found the image |3=Artist |4=Describe edits, if any |5=Other versions (use file link) }} Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line of the variable(s) you don't use. If you do not wish to use the template at all, then it is acceptable to simply remove it before you upload the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. |
Because File:SHY GUY REVEALED by Foxeaf.gif had an unfilled template. Also it is {{personal-image}}. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:50, 7 August 2016 (EDT)
Thanks for the warning Koopas lost shell 15:56, 7 August 2016 (EDT)
Swearing
I haven't been on the wiki too long, but I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to have the d-word on your userpage. This is supposed to be a family-friendly wiki, so could you please change it? --Sigma (talk) 14:40, 8 August 2016 (EDT)
Italics
Hey there. When editing articles, remember that game titles should be in italics. You can do this by placing two apostrophes before and after a game title.
For example, ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''

Grammar
Hi, just a reminder to please always remember to capitalise proper nouns next time (e.g. "Boos" and "SecuriMeows", not "boos" and "securimeows"). Also, keep in mind that the pronoun is spelled "which", not "witch". Thanks. Mario JC 05:30, 15 August 2016 (EDT)
