:Oh...I didn't realize my user page edits show up there, too! I thought saving frequently would prevent a lot of work having to be redone if I accidentally exited out. I will try to reduce this problem. [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 14:52, April 10, 2019 (EDT)

::You can also edit pages in a Word document or something, you can save as many times as you want to there, and then carry over the text to your userpage when it's done. Downside there is you can't preview any wiki changes :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:08, 25 February 2019 (EST)

:::Well, you can preview your changes and don't save them. I do think the WikiEd addon lets you save backups of changes, but it takes extra to load all those buttons, so I don't use it myself. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:14, 25 February 2019 (EST)

::::I know I'm late here, but I recently decided that I would create my own sandbox to keep my unfinished revisions. [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Wario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 22:02, May 16, 2019 (EDT)

== Userpage ==

I noticed you added enemy counts for NSMBW World 1-4 and some levels of Super Mario World. I'm currently endeavoring to compile accurate enemy counts for SMB 1-3, SMW, and the NSMB games. Please feel free to double check my counts and/or add counts to pages that are empty if you want to help me in this. {{User:Ladishchap}}

:Enemy counts are one of the easier things to add, since I have access to a lot of level maps and videos. It's easier with levels that are more linear. Feel free to check any mistakes I make, too. :) [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 16:26, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

:Sorry about that! Your votes were actually not there when I added mine. They must have disappeared due to a conflict. You probably started editing after I did, but saved your changes before I did.  [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 14:20, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

User has apologized, and this is obviously a mistake, not one meant to cause trouble. This thing tends to happen when editing the whole page rather than a section, though, so maybe edit a specific section next time so the wiki alerts you when a conflict does happen in that spot. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:52, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

== RE:My gripe about level articles on the wiki ==

It seemed to me that many level articles just lack a lot of content. Pages for ''[[Wario Land II]]'' (see [[Avoid the rocks!]]), ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' (see [[Multi-Vator Mayhem]]), ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' (see [[Lava Scarves and Red-Hot Blarggs]])... All of these have a lackluster introduction and a rushed layout section that skims over a couple of elements and doesn't go into any detail. Sometimes, these two sections are combined. They are not the worst of the wiki, though, because they at least contain information about important collectibles. By far the worst level articles pertain to ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', which fail even in that regard, practically making them a complete waste of Internet space that doesn't benefit anybody. Wanna know where to find that elusive [[Smiley Flower]] in whatever level? Wanna look up it quickly without loading some video on YouTube and then sliding the progress bar where it might show the collectible? Well, too bad, you're not having any of that. My criticism is meant to raise awareness to that very point--that a level article should at least contain information about things that might be desirable for the reader to know. Actually, that applies to any article.

And yes... that means adding information about where to find the crafts and Poochy Pups in the [[Pirate Pier|most recent article you wrote]]. :P Just a little light criticism if you accept it... You're doing a good job otherwise. And an advice: if there is anything essential in a level, just anything that pretty much defines it in some way, you can write about it briefly in the introduction paragraph! For example, [[Shoal Atoll|this level]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' has you find different keys in order to open chests, which is mentioned at the beginning of its page. {{User:Bye Guy/Sig}} 17:35, May 18, 2019 (EDT)

:Thanks for the info! Also, I usually work on large projects in my [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan/Sandbox|sandbox]], mostly edits that I don't think I can do in one sitting. [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 18:28, May 18, 2019 (EDT)

::Oh, I didn't see those projects in your sandbox. I apologize. Keep up the good work! {{User:Bye Guy/Sig}} 18:33, May 18, 2019 (EDT)

== Categories ==

Hi, would you mind changing every instance of <code><nowiki>[[Category:Super Mario Land Levels]]</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''':'''<nowiki>Category:Super Mario Land Levels]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[Category:Yoshi's Crafted World Worlds]]</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''':'''<nowiki>Category:Yoshi's Crafted World Worlds]]</nowiki></code>? We don't usually allow userspace pages in mainstream categories. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 18:14, May 20, 2019 (EDT)

:Fixed. [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 18:38, May 20, 2019 (EDT)
