I noticed you uploaded a screenshot of a YouTube video ([[:File:SM3DWColorPanels.png]]) for [[Super Mario 3D World]]. Did you know you can play any Wii U game live and submit a screenshot using the [[Wii U]]'s built-in web browser functionality and the image will be 1280x720 right here to MarioWiki? This is different than [[Miiverse]]'s 800x450 images. Here's some more info: [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox#Wii U]] --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 18:46, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

:I was hoping to turn it into official policy instead of just a help page. From others' feedback, the first draft was a tad too strict and it would end up not being very acceptable as a policy. Right now, it is somewhat more lenient but it still needs more work and other details need to be worked out. The guide started with a talk on {{user|Henry Tucayo Clay}}'s talk page. With other admins, he said that it would be a good idea to implement officially. One other snag is that a few users have had issues with my and others' {{tem|image-quality}} usage. It got me to think that the template by itself is insufficient for the size of this wiki and it needed expansion. I proposed new template ideas but that failed miserably due to confusion so I canceled the proposal. The proposal was so underdeveloped that I requested discussion how to make things clearer so the proposal has a higher rate of passing. You can see the details [[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder/QualityRequestTypes/sandbox|here]]. The first thing I want to pass are the template ideas because they are essential to improving the guide. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 19:55, 4 May 2016 (EDT)

::It seems like my expertise was game screenshots only. That's what made my proposal so underdeveloped. I didn't consider other types of image submissions. It baffled me that people thought it was OK to submit sub-par screenshots and not tag them if they couldn't do any better. Also, people had access to so many better ways to take screenshots than to take a screenshot of a YouTube video that I don't think they realized it. Since November of 2015, I have been redoing a load of bad screenshots for various games. It got the attention of {{user|Bazooka Mario}}, {{user|Baby Luigi}}, and {{user|Henry Tucayo Clay}}. They praised me for my efforts (still on my talk page). I kind of wanted to share my knowledge after that if those users think I am doing quality work. {{user|RAP}} has been the most helpful in [[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder/QualityRequestTypes/sandbox#Target Audience|Target Audience]]. He brought up a good point about taking shortcuts instead of replaying a game to obtain a particular screenshot later in the game. I have yet to include that in my guide. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 22:05, 4 May 2016 (EDT)
