- BTW, not sure if that was you who moved the story off the main page of Super Mario 63, but according to our guide, there should be at least a brief synopsis of the game's story on the front page.
- A synopsis of the plot should be on the main page so people understand what the game is about. A detailed story page is not necessary, but optional, and for Super Mario 63, it should be incorporated into the walkthrough (since the game is linear and there is no back story or extensive world lore outside of the plot). --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 17:08, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- To be clearer, the one on the main page should be spoiler free and should be worded like the back of a game's box. We often take the official story from the box or manual and put it in this front section. For example, see Chrono Trigger. Then we don't have to make anything up, or we can add some details to make it better or more epic/obscure. The walkthrough of the game can be as detailed as a guide writer wants. Our walkthroughs are supposed to be spoiler free, however, so we use {{spoilers}} and {{spoiler}} to help mask those details that cannot be omitted. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 19:18, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, oops! Now I really understand this time. I think I was pretty confused when I wrote it on the main page, sorry!
PS: Can you edit what I wrote on the story page of Super Mario 63 and make it better? Thanks so much! Comet 7 (talk) 04:27, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, oops! Now I really understand this time. I think I was pretty confused when I wrote it on the main page, sorry!
- The story on there now looks fine. I may have modified what you wrote. It has been a few years since I played/beat Super Mario 63, so I can't remember any details to change. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 16:40, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Your new sig
Hi Comet, it may be better to change the line in your preferences to just {{User:Comet 7/My sig}} (just remove the subst: portion). If you sign a page, and click edit on it so you can see the code, you will notice a ton of code inserted to the page when using subst:. If you want it to be clean, my suggestion here, after you make the change, should make it just display {{User:Comet 7/My sig}}. Give both a shot and compare the resulting code. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 18:38, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, yeah, you're right! It is pretty disturbing! But I changed it now, so it should be better. Thanks for telling me! -- Comet 7 [talk · contributions] 21:19, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- Um...it kind of didn't work. I changed it to {{User:Comet 7/My sig}} and saved it, but the "SUBST:" just reappeared again in the signature. Have I made a mistake? --Comet 7 [talk · contributions]
