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. :) The RPG Gamer (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)
