You are not in autopatrol. You are not allowed to use this template. Hi, I like Kirby, and thus I like to make people who like Kirby to have consistent info on it.
Let's see if this goes farther.

My native idiom isn't English, which may explain some inconsistency on what I write...
Table in progress
Here will be my first table that I make from scratch! Using the help from WiKirby and MediaWiki, I will polish this thing later. If you are wondering why I don't do this on an sandbox of mine, is because I don't know how to code one I'd like to make this table a permanent section of this page, and it would make me feel good seeing how this table grows from a mess of code, to a wonderful Platinum square :D
Meanwhile, enjoy a very basic description of the best Helper, and of a very good Helper.
Both tables are made using different "techniques" though both bear the exact same result, barring the fact that I made the Wisp table auto collapse on page loading.

Archive of mistakes to evade
A list of mistakes that I made before to prevent me of doing them again. If you are new to Wikis like me, or are a mess with English, like me, I invite you to put your eyes on this archive:
From WiKirby
- From a revision of Megaton Punch: "pits" is grammatically correct.
- From a revision of Boss Battle (theme from Kirby Super Star):
- When referring to the theme that that same page if describing, it is mentioned as "the theme" instead of "this theme".
- The unplayable, movie-like scenes on Video Games are called "cutscenes" and not "cut-scenes".
- Album numbers on theme pages probably shouldn't be added.
- From a revision of Kirby Pupupu Train Eki-melo Collection: "a unique" is correct, instead of being "an unique". (proof, proof and proof: This is because what determines the usage of "a" or "an" is not exactly if the letter itself is a consonant or a vowel, but instead if the sound is of a consonant or of a vowel, as the "u" syllable in "unique" is pronounced with a "yu/yoo/yew" sound, thus the letter to take in question is the "y" and not a "u".)
From Discord
- File names shouldn't contain punctuation and special symbols, especially on the end. (Credits to Vipz)
- Files that aren't, but will be used could either be given the Not-unused template, or be used in User pages to prevent them to be deleted. (Credits to StarPunch for the former and Vipz for the later options)
- Pages that you want to create, but of which you don't have too much info yet, could be pre-created on personal sandboxes. (I have seen this applied several times, but MetaDragon directly recommended that to me, so credits to her)
Archive of tips to follow
A list of tips of how to do/write certain things. These aren't necessary corrections of previous mistakes of mine, and thus the different section. I second what I said above to new Editors or English newbies :P
From WiKirby
I think that I have seen some, but I don't remember them so I will put them here when my memory decides to work, or when I see a new one ;D
From Discord
- From help regarding two revisions of Shooter Cutter:
- Words following colons (:) could start either with or without captions, both are valid; but a colon is not normally followed by a capital letter in British usage, though American usage often prefers to use a capital
(even though both usages are in the same idiom). (Credits to StarPunch about the fact that both are valid and to University of Sussex by confirming that and about the British/American thing) - A semicolon (;) sometimes works better than a colon, but using a semicolon means turning the text following it into a complete sentence to make it correct. (Credits to MetaDragon about the first fact and StarPunch about the second one)
- Using an em-dash (—) can be used to separate sentences while keeping the section following it a fragment instead of a complete sentence, unlike the semicolon. (Credits to LeoUnlimited and StarPunch) (Leo mentions that "this kind of punctuation is more informal by nature" while The Punctuation Guide mentions that "the dash is less formal than the colon". I suppose that Leo was referring to the usage of the em-dash, while TPG was referring to the sentence itself)
- Words following colons (:) could start either with or without captions, both are valid; but a colon is not normally followed by a capital letter in British usage, though American usage often prefers to use a capital
Things to do
A lists of things that I want to do. If you are searching for something to do, and are evading the existence of Maintenance, know that help with any of this is appreciated ;)
- See if there is a version of the cover of Kirby Pupupu Train Eki-melo Collection bigger than 770 x 774.
- Change the listing of the Disc 2 of Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack to begin with "01" and end with "45" like the Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack, but while also keeping a row listing the "Overall" track number.
- Mention somehow the track 002 (using the Sound Test listing) of Kirby 64 on the "Not Included" table of Hoshi no Kirby 64 Original Soundtrack. (The track 41 of the Disc 2 (93 overall) of Planet Robobot OST album proves that themes that aren't in the Jukebox can be on the OST album)
- Mention better in the article itself of Art Attack from where does the name come from. If it is going to be mentioned on a part that isn't the body of the article (as it is now in the "Names in other languages" section) I think that a "Naming" section would fit the role better, but if I would do this, I would discuss it first.
- I think that I wanted to expand a bit the article with other info aside from what I said above, but I don't remember that info, so:
- Remember it.
- Put it here to don't forget it again.
- Remember it.
- I think that I wanted to expand a bit the article with other info aside from what I said above, but I don't remember that info, so:
- Mention somehow Sailor Waddle Dee in Revenge of Meta Knight, because that is both the game where he debuted and where he had his biggest role of all.
- Structuring an argument about the you-know-what thing that bugs you on both Green Greens (theme) and Kirby's Triumphant Return, and then use that argument to discuss it on a talk page or plainly doing the edits yourself.
- If the argument is complex enough to be discussed on a talk page, then also figure which talk page of the two would be the more ideal one for that.
- When editing those pages with the respective info, take advantage of being in "Kirby's Triumphant Return" zone to state in the Havoc Aboard the Halberd page that the former theme is featured in the later. But state that in a stylish way, probably in a new "Composition" section.
- Also, rolling around themes that feature a triumphant return of a pink demon to see which aren't mentioned in said page. Both Rainbow Curse's arrangement of "Crystal Field Area" (and thus, of "Green Greens") and Planet Robobot's arrangement of "HAtH" naturally include "K'sTR", but not of them are mentioned in the article page. "A Dream of Clouds" includes it too, but not "Dreaming of Skies at the Fountain of Rainbows"; the "A Dream of Clouds" sections stops before dicing into "K'sTR". The final section of "City Trial: Rowdy Charge Tank" before looping (which could be said that it is the fourth main section, I think) is similar to "K'sTR", but it could just be a heavily remixed version of "Green Greens"' second segment instead, so figure which of the two is it; this segment isn't present in Kirby's Air Grind's theme, for instance. Both "Green Greens"' second section and the first main melody of "Rainbow Resort" are very similar to "K'sTR", so see if the later is indeed inspired by some of the formers in some way and put it in the page. Browse around to see if there are more of said cases, and insert them in.
- Put in the Kirby's Dream Land 3 section of the page of each of the six animal friends a table mentioning each of their appearances in that game, just as I did with the KDL2 section of the first trio.
- Some, if not every enemy of the game, like the man, the legendary and the underrated have in their pages a table listing their appearances, so the target is: copying one of them (they are all identical, I think), checking every level page, and pasting it in the six furries faces
(well, just two of them are furries, as only Rick and Nago have actual fur. Pitch and Coo have feathers, but that isn't fur. Kine may have scales, which is fish's fur, but still not fur. Not sure about ChuhChu. But still-)with the respective s and/or s. (I did that with the KDL2 table of the org. trio, and there wasn't any exceptions, so...)
- Some, if not every enemy of the game, like the man, the legendary and the underrated have in their pages a table listing their appearances, so the target is: copying one of them (they are all identical, I think), checking every level page, and pasting it in the six furries faces
- Capture and select good images of the Rainbow Islands and the DL3 Popstar areas in Slam Hockey.
- Put more fitting images in Master Crown and resize the ones already on it to fit better within the page.
Insert images on the respective pages
There are some "groups of images" that feature a lot of images of characters or items, but those images aren't in the page of the respective characters of items. So the point is including every of the next images on the pages of the things that they represent (for example the Qbby sticker is already on the Qbby page, so the point is doing that with every image.):
- Kirby no Copy-toru!/gallery (Inserting the Lololo & Lalala image in the Lololo & Lalala page, etc.)
- The images in Kirby for Nintendo GameCube (Inserting the screenshot with Wheelie in the Wheelie page, etc.)
- The Keychains (Inserting the Simirror Keychain on the Simirror page, etc.)
- The Planet Robobot Stickers (Inserting the Number 5 Sticker on the- Wait.)
- The Super Clash Stickers (Inserting the Maglor Sticker on the
MaglorMagolor page, etc.) - The Celebration Pictures (Inserting Bad Boss Brothers in the Dark Matter, Yin-Yarn and other Final Bosses, big etc.)
- The Kirby JP Twitter commemorative illustrations (2016/2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) (Inserting this thing on the Nago and others page with some cute, but still serious description, very long etc.)
- Doing that on Kirby and the Rainbow Curse/gallery, but in reverse: Track every image of every thing across different pages, like renders and screenshots of characters, and put them in the gallery (like, not even Elline's images are there). Also, creating captions for the images at the beginning of the page.
- The same thing with Kirby Star Allies/gallery, but primarily with stage screenshots. (Rainbow Curse have stage screenshots but lacks renders. Star Allies have renders but lacks stage screenshots. Huh.)
- Keep an eye about images from Kirby Mass Attack, you know why. Though if the bad ending happens (which consists of not getting organized, thus, it will happen) the "whys" are:
- (Re:)Capturing every image necessary.
- Put every image that I capture in the game's gallery, including the ones that were taken before writing this.
- Check the game's gallery for every image that is there but not in the articles, like this thing that isn't in the Bigger Stactus page.
- See the articles that have a lot of images in them but that aren't in other articles as they should, like Survival Rush which has this other thing that also isn't in the Bigger Stactus page, and so on.
- Swim through the game's image category to see if for some reason there is something that isn't in none of the three instances mentioned just above.
- Inspect some weird website images that have pre-release content, like this thang in where Whispy Woods's stage has a star that isn't present in the final game, or that Pink Bigger Stactus image linked above that have a background not seen nor in the normal fight, nor in the Survival Rush fight.
- Figure if that PBS is actually pink, or is one of another color that is just flashing pink because it is getting pumelled.
- Getting the Bigger Stactus out of your head.
- Roll around images of Kirby's Dream Land 2 by almost the same reasons as Mass Attack.
- In case that I rolled too much, this consists of diving in game pages to put images on the gallery, flying through the gallery to put images like these on game pages, and bamboozling through the game's image category aaa to put images on both. 0f course, you will only put images in some place just if they weren't there before.
- There aren't any Bigger Stactuses in this game, thankfully. (Or so I think)
From Discord/Twitter
Keep in mind that you need to be in the Discord server to see some of the sources of these things.
- Get a high quality, centered version of this thing
(or steal that one if there isn't other option)and upload it on Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack at least. (Original source) (I suppose that we could alwaysextortkindly ask the original uploader to scan a better version of it)
