Hello, Balmz. 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, Balmz. 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.

Also, could you please make clear what those two images are supposed to be about? Media files are supposed to be used as soon as they're uploaded, and from what I can entail, those are just two random spots in Paper Mario with a tree.

I believe you were taking screenshots of where Goomnuts can be located, which is fine for the first image. The battle with the Goomba King image works better on his page, though. But about the second image, do actual Goomnut items fall from it, or is this just supposed to be the tree that's in the Goomba King battle? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 16:00, March 18, 2019 (EDT)
I traveled all the way to this tree from my save file at the end of Peach's Castle just to see if it would give me a Goomnut in the field, and it did not. So I don't think the second image is necessary, the Goomnut tree in the screenshot with the Goomba King is enough. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:28, March 18, 2019 (EDT)
Thing is, the tree in the field doesn't do anything. It's only relevant to the battle. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:33, March 18, 2019 (EDT)

Please review the above reminders and don't simply leave the summary unfilled when uploading. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 04:42, November 27, 2021 (EST)

You're filling the aboutfile template correctly but you're still forgetting to categorise. Remember to replace {{uncategorized}} with an image category link (like [[Category:Super Mario Maker 2 images]]) for future uploads.
