Uplaods[edit]

Hello, LatestHope. 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.

Hello, LatestHope. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common:

  • {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects.
  • {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character.
  • {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic.
  • {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books.
  • {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows.
  • {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies.
  • {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube.

When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}.

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please check your upload summaries; you're not linking the {{classic-link}} courses correctly. Also, words that aren't proper nouns shouldn't be capitalised ("Underwater Version" should just be "underwater version" for example), and make sure to keep a consistent and appropriate format when adding text for the audio files on the course pages (so if one is already written as "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (frontrunning)", try to keep the same "game (song version)" format in the list, but if it has the composer's name like "Mario Kart DS: Shinobu Tanaka", it doesn't make sense to write "Mario Kart 7: Frontrunning" since "Frontrunning" is not a composer, so "Mario Kart 7 (frontrunning)" can work instead).

Renaming files[edit]

Another thing, after moving a file, mark the old file name for deletion with {{delete}}, as we don't keep file redirects. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 11:28, August 1, 2022 (EDT)

Sorry my bad. After I removed it, I forgot to remember to add the delete thing. LatestHope (talk) 17:52, August 1, 2022 (EDT)

Header capitalisation[edit]

The capitalisation rule I mentioned above applies everywhere, including section headers. Words in headers shouldn't be capitalised unless it's the first word of the header or it's a proper noun. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:21, August 9, 2022 (EDT)

That's my fault, I didn't know you were editing it before I saved changes so I had to try and fix what you put LatestHope (talk) 10:02, August 9, 2022 (EDT)
