The SMBX Wiki

The SMBX Wiki is open to editing with a new focus. The wiki will cover various elements of the SMBX community including its history, member contributions, and various events in an easily readable and accessible format. Articles can be made for episodes, graphics packs, projects, contests, guides/tutorials/FAQs, comics, and any substantial topics relating to the community. A few articles have already been written up for place holders and the bare minimum information that should be standard. Most articles are open to everyone to add information as needed. It is recommended to use or create templates as needed for organization sake. With that said, the wiki is ready for everyone to create their User pages and start editing. Further information about standards will be in the spoilers below.

You can create your User page by clicking your profile name in red toward the top-right corner, and using the Forum User template for a baseline to start with adding information. After creating your User page, a good start with editing may be expanding upon existing articles or creating Wanted pages.

Basic standards to follow:
Spoiler: show
  • The first reference to SMBX on a page should be expressed as “Super Mario Bros. X” with all further references being “SMBX” unless in a quotation.
  • American English is a standard.

Download links:
Spoiler: show
  • Downloads should be safe, and not expire. (No mediafire or sendspace)
  • A mirror link should be provided.

Comics:
Spoiler: show
  • All content related to a comic should be limited to a singular page, and/or the User page of the author(s).
  • Art showcases and general artistic creations should go on User pages.
Further guidelines for any wiki edits:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... guidelines
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... guidelines
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... guidelines

Editor and gameplay content will not be a major part of the SMBX Wiki. Essential information such as version history, cheats, npc codes, and brief information about the PGE editor will be available but not much more will be relevant. Articles that would better belong on the PGE Wiki for instance should generally be avoided to reduce any redundancy. Administration will have a minor rolea and step in as necessary to keep the wiki safe from vandalism, edit wars, and other such rule breaking. If you're interested in applying for any level of moderation power on the SMBX Wiki, it's asked that you first create your User page and familiarize yourself with the wiki and mention your interest and reason for applying. If you have questions about any specific standards or guidelines, check the Wikipedia links above or ask here.

Thank you for reading, and to all that have helped.

Oh look, an announcement!

In all seriousness, though, I'm really excited to have the Wiki open once more. I look forward to seeing what you guys do with it!

You can make a page for it. Use the episode template to get started.

It's at the top of every page, but here: https://www.smbxgame.com/wiki/Main_Page

It's fairly straight forward? There shouldn't be any complex templates on the wiki yet.

Do i need html knowledge to edit the page?

HTML can help with editing, however there should be plenty of wikitext features for you to use on your page.

So i created my page based on the template, and saved it, but my profile wasn't updated?
EDIT: Nevermind, i copied the text from the template to my page, it's here:
https://www.smbxgame.com/wiki/User:Taycamgame
Also pls can nobody else edit my page? I don't want spam, thx

EDIT 2:
I think i may have accidentally overwritten the user template page, i'm so sorry, i thought saving it would automatically put it into my profile

Well, can't say I was expecting the wiki to return anytime soon. This is a pleasant surprise.

How do you create a brand new page, and where is the template for project pages?

Type the name of the page you would like to create in the search bar, after searching for it when it doesn't exist you can create the page from there. There isn't currently a template for projects, project pages aren't expected to be standardized but you can create a template if you want by searching Template:Projects in the search bar and creating the page from there just like with any other page.

Hooray!!! I'll also see if I can contribute things here and there

is the editing code basically the same as Wikia's? Or is it different?
