Reminders

Hello, Super DM. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded coding is shown below.

{{aboutfile
|1=Subject of the image
|2=Where you found the image
|3=Artist
|4=Describe edits, if any
|5=Other versions (use file link)
}}

Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line of the variable(s) you don't use. If you do not wish to use the template at all, then it is acceptable to simply remove it before you upload the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, Super DM. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:

Images Audio/video files

When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use:

[[Category:Super Mario World images]]
or
[[Category:Super Mario World media files]]

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Not only does your recent upload have the above problems, but it also had a terribly confusing name before I moved it. Please make sure you take extra caution in your future uploads, otherwise a reminder will be issued. Thanks!

Also, when you upload an image that maybe should be a personal image, please be sure to tag it with {{personal-image}} and actually use it before it is tagged for deletion. Thanks! Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 12:21, 20 December 2017 (EST)

Reminder

Please stop uploading unofficial images for use in articles on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

As I have said above, File:Gold Koopa Troopa.png is unofficial, and so it should only be used in your userspace, not in actual articles. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 12:27, 20 December 2017 (EST)

I noticed you are uploading images without the template {{aboutfile}}. Also they are not included in a category. Please, when uploading images use the template I already mentioned and remember to categorize images. Thank you. Sprite of an Ice Snifit in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
