    MarioWiki:BJAODN

    Heh, my crappy article writing on Beezos (MarioWiki:BJAODN/Beezos) is there; so cringeworthy, it hurts! At the time, the problem is that I wasn't sure how to properly present the info and how to differ necessary info from the unnecessary fat. For instance, I was trying to figure out how to...

    Collaboration: Template Names

    I would've preferred if the main post of the topic had goals and tasks to do right at the start to reduce the confusion immensely. I went in and thought: "That's the whole list?", and then I scrolled down and saw Walkazo's list and got confused. While I was tackling Template:Gadd by replacing it...

    Collaboration: Template Names

    @Walkazo Indeed. Lots of templates, potentially! I would've prefer if we tackle on templates that need merging now rather than later, who knows if someone will pull a Gaddget all over again. I can work all of this if no one does it for at least a month; hopefully it won't be deserted if such a...

    @Walkazo Awwww...at least I didn't go too far; I've done 11 out of 61 entries (which includes the Gaddget entry).

    Tackling two birds with one stone; and not just using a bot. Sounds like a plan. I'll work on Template:Gadd (which must be changed to Template:Gaddgets), and we'll go from there...after I take a quick rest.

    Question: Sentences where it is said the player does stuff.
