First you should find if the article does not already exist. To do this you must use the Search. If the search results do not bring up the article that needs to be created, then you can create an article a number of ways.
On the right of the navigation at the top is a dropdown button that reads "Contribute". From this you can select "Add a Page" from the dropdown. A popup will ask you what you want to call it. What is typed into this field will be the name that appears at the top of the article. For help on naming the article, see the [[Project:Naming
If the page is already linked on the wiki through a
===What should or should not be added?===
If you have any doubts about if a piece of information you have should or shouldn't be added to the wiki, you can check out the '''[[Project:Scope|wiki's Scope]]'''. The Scope is a page with a list of all the games that are featured on the ''Mariopedia'' as well of a short explanation of what kind of information, related to that game, may be added.
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:
===The Scope okays it, now what?===

You will want to include only a certain portion of all information in your text template. It should look something like this when you are done.
:<nowiki><onlyinclude>{{Talk
:<nowiki>|image=Myfavoriteimage.jpg</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|name= </nowiki>{{USERNAME|YOURUSERNAME}}
Line 104:
Save this, and in the future you will only need to do "<nowiki>{{User:</nowiki>{{USERNAME|YOURUSERNAME}}<nowiki>/Talk|time=~~~~~|text= ... }}</nowiki>" in order to have a neat little talk template. The two things you will want to be mindful of is that you need to fill out all blanks, you need to leave time and text as variables (surrounded by "{{{" and "}}}") and you do not want to include "File:" in front of your image name.
If you want a more advanced text box, like most people have opted for, view [[Template:Talk
