If you have concerns over whether to make an article, ask yourself whether it is already covered in full somewhere else? For example, minor characters in games whose role can be summarized in a sentence may be covered at the game's list of characters article. In such a circumstance, a simple redirect to this information would be satisfactory. If you are still unsure, you can ask at a relevant talk page, or at the [[Forum:Rin's Travel Agency|Rin's Travel Agency]] forum. | If you have concerns over whether to make an article, ask yourself whether it is already covered in full somewhere else?

"''A picture says more than a thousand words''", and a '''[[ | "''A picture says more than a thousand words''", and a '''[[Mariopedia:Userboxes|Userbox]]''' says at least 10 or 15. Userboxes are quick and simple ways to get a point across, as most users will start off by looking at the userboxes to get information about someone. Next to the userbox is a code, which must be inserted between a set of curly brackets (since they act like templates). For instance, <nowiki>{{user yoshifan}}</nowiki> for the [[:Template:user yoshifan|user yoshifan]] userbox. It is generally advised that they be put in a table, due to not all templates having the same height, which can lead to problems with white spaces. The correct way to put up this would be (example uses six of the same userboxes, results can be seen on the right, the actual setup on the left): | ||
