==Edits==
Welcome! Thanks for your edits on [[Bowser Jr.]], but in the future, please try to make all the changes you want to make in one edit. It is reccomended to use the "Show Preview" button (To the right of the "Save Page" button) to see how your edits look without saving. Thanks! {{User:YoshiEgg1990/sig}} 18:08, 12 August 2018 (EDT)

:This user was making fairly spaced-apart edits in different sections of the article, so this post wasn't really necessary in the context of their recent edits. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:29, 12 August 2018 (EDT)

== Infobox image ==

Hello. Please note that the [[Template:character infobox|character infobox]] should only use the most recent image not specialised for a particular game. In other words, it should only depict the character itself (with no objects, characters etc. next to them), and since there isn't one from his latest appearance, we use the most recent one available, so please do not change it back until a newer one is released. Thanks. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:46, 13 August 2018 (EDT)

== File uploads ==

{{imagecategory-reminder}}
On the upload page, please remember to select the appropriate licensing from the drop-down menu, and replace {{tem|uncategorized}} with one of the categories found through the above links, as both are important when uploading files (so for an image from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', you'd add <code><nowiki>[[Category:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey Images]]</nowiki></code>). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:11, 27 December 2018 (EST)

:Please remember also to select a license from the "Licensing" drop-down menu on the upload page, as I mentioned above. For screenshots, you'd select "Video game screenshot". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:02, 29 January 2019 (EST)

{{reminder|2=ignoring the above reminder (not adding licenses to uploads)}}
Your images need the [[Help:License|license]] template on them. It's very simple to do this. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:11, 29 January 2019 (EST)

Really, you need to pay attention to this, or eventually, you'll get blocked. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:16, 29 January 2019 (EST)

{{warning|2=not adding licenses to uploads|overturned=y}}
It shouldn't be a hassle to do this even when uploading in batches. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:20, 29 January 2019 (EST)

Sorry, I didn't see this message. I was uploading several images and I didn't check in between. I'm planning on uploading more images tomorrow and I'll make sure to do this. Sorry for any trouble. {{unsigned|Baconator2558}}

:You should check your messages anyway as soon as you receive them as there could be something important. There was even time between the Bowser Jr. and Koopaling images. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:41, 29 January 2019 (EST)

I just uploaded a new image with the license. I was wondering if it is possible to add a license without going to the main upload page. Because I was uploading multiple images to be used in the same section of the same page, I was uploading my images from the edit page. I tried to use this method to upload a licensed image. However, I couldn't find an option to add a license from this menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. {{unsigned|Baconator2558}}
:Yeah, you can add the license template after uploading if you know the right one to use. [[:Category:Image copyright tags|Here's a full list of the licensing templates]]. However,
{{aboutfile-reminder}}
:You also need to fill out the aboutfile template, or just remove it completely. Don't leave the example explanations there, but you can remove any parameters you aren't going to use. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:37, 29 January 2019 (EST)

:What do you mean by uploading from the edit page? Didn't you upload from [[Special:Upload]]? If you missed the license, just add <code><nowiki>==Licensing==</nowiki></code> with <code>{{tem|game-screenshot}}</code> underneath (if it's a game screenshot), but it's much easier selecting it from the menu ''as'' you're uploading them on Special:Upload. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:41, 29 January 2019 (EST)

If you press "insert file" while editing, there's an option to upload a file. I've been using that. {{unsigned|Baconator2558}}

I just uploaded another image. Did I do everything correctly? {{unsigned|Baconator2558}}

:You just needed <code><nowiki>{{game-screenshot}}</nowiki></code> was what I meant, not <code><nowiki>{{tem|game-screenshot}}</nowiki></code> as I used in my post. Other than that, it's fine. Please remember to sign your talk page comments with four tildes as well (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>), even on your own talk page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:08, 29 January 2019 (EST)

Okay. Thanks for the help!

Regarding music files, they need to be uploaded as an "oga" format rather than an "ogg", to distinguish from "ogv". Also, music files should be samples, only 30 seconds at maximum. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:37, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

== [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles|Italics]] ==

Please remember to ''italicise'' game titles (i.e. [[New Super Mario Bros.]] must be written as ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:38, May 13, 2019 (EDT)

== Uploads ==

Please review the above file reminders. The category should be added [[Special:Diff/3984510|like this]], and you can just remove any "aboutfile" lines you're not using instead of adding "N/A". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 11:56, August 31, 2023 (EDT)
