Uploads[edit]
Hello, when uploading files, please keep in mind that you also need to add an image category and navigation template. Instead of uploading through the wikitext editor, I suggest using Special:Upload in the future (the "Upload file" link under "tools" on the navigation pane). If you do, after filling out the {{aboutfile}} in the summary, remove {{uncategorized}} and replace it with a category from one of the subcategories in Category:Images (using File:Dr Mario DM64 icon.png as an example, you go to "Images by game" and find "Dr. Mario 64 Images", so you type [[Category:Dr. Mario 64 Images]]), then select a license depending on what type of file it is (screenshot, sprite etc.) from the "Licensing" drop-down menu.
If you wish to continue using the wikitext editor uploader, you'd have to copy/paste the following into the description and change the category name and license (list can be found here) where necessary:
==Summary==
Description
==Licensing==
{{game-sprite}}
[[Category:Dr. Mario 64 Images]]

Also, if you're uploading a better version of an existing file that's the same format (e.g. png and png), instead of uploading it separately, click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the existing file page. Mario JC 19:46, February 27, 2021 (EST)
- Looks like you're still having some trouble. Here's some more information:

Hello, PMN700. 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, PMN700. 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:
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. |
- We don't use navigation templates in the images, so the {{WMOD}} call should be just [[Category:Wario: Master of Disguise Images]].

Also, please avoid making edits and instantly reverting them because they came out wrong. This floods the history page. Next time, use the "Show preview" next to the "Save changes" button; this lets you see what your edit looks like and fix any mistakes you made before actually saving it. Help:Image and Help:Gallery has guides on how you can add images to articles. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask around. Mario JC 23:26, March 17, 2021 (EDT)
Series categories[edit]
For future reference, the more specific "Category:(game) bosses" categories that are already on the articles like Category:Donkey Kong 64 bosses already fall under the overall Category:Donkey Kong bosses series category, so adding this category is unnecessary.
"Category:(series) bosses" categories should only be included if there is no more specific one available, as is the case with Kroctopus. Mario JC 08:46, December 5, 2023 (EST)
