Edits

Hi, welcome to the wiki! You seem to be having some trouble with your edits, so here's a few things to keep in mind.

• This wiki is for official information, meaning fake and fan created information does not go in the main articles. There are some exceptions, though. However, if you can provide a source on if the level you are talking about actually exists in the game's coding, it would fit at List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content.
• When uploading images, please remember to fill out the aboutfile template (or remove it completely), categorizing the image correctly, and applying the appropriate license from the drop-down menu. You can find all the information you need about those here:

Hello, The Koopa King. 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, The Koopa King. 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 Company images Film images Game images Merchandise images Publication images System images Television series images Website images Company media files Film media files Game media files Merchandise media files Publication media files System media files Television series media files Website media 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, The Koopa King. 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: {{game-screenshot}} - Used for game screenshots. {{game-sprite}} - Used for game sprites. {{game-3Drender}} - Used for game models. {{game-cover}} - Used for game box art. {{character-artwork}} - Used for artwork of a character. {{game-logo}} - Used for a game's logo. {{logo}} - Used for other logos. {{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. {{dvd-cover}} - Used for box art of DVDs. {{vhs-cover}} - Used for box art of VHSes. {{album-cover}} - Used for box art of music albums. {{poster}} - Used for promotional posters. {{music-sample}} - Used for music files. {{sound-clip}} - Used for sound effects. {{video-clip}} - Used for video files. 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.

Thank you, and keep contributing. 11:36, February 7, 2020 (EST)

Additionally, we do not accept fan-made recreations of pre-release material. Your uploads have revolved entirely around these, but they do not fall within our guidelines. Please do not continue uploading them unless you can properly source them from official material, and please following the image instructions above. 19:43, February 12, 2020 (EST)

Sorry. I just didn’t know. Only decent images I could find.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Katelyn Croteau (talk).

That's fine, you know now :) 19:49, February 12, 2020 (EST)

Please don't upload files without filling in the file details. {{aboutfile}} should be filled in properly (otherwise you can simply replace it with a simple description); {{uncategorized}} must be replaced with an image category relevant to the file; and a license should be selected from the "Licensing" drop-down menu. See the above reminders. Mario JC 19:54, February 12, 2020 (EST)

I wish that Nintendo would create a Paper Mario game for the Switch. With Dark Bowser as a boss! I haven’t seen him science I last played Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story!

I wrote since, not science!

Oh, and Nintendo should also add the Koopalings in the next Super Mario Maker 2 update. I have always wanted them! Also, it would be nice if Dry Bowser was there too!

Do not upload files that already exist. Check to see if they are already uploaded first. 20:10, February 12, 2020 (EST)

^ This also goes for uploading similar images specifically for your userpage. Simply use the ones we already have. Mario JC 21:54, March 14, 2020 (EDT)

Smart Apostrophes

Additionally, both when writing and uploading files, make sure you use straight apostrophes and not smart apostrophes. Thanks! Trig - 20:38, February 12, 2020 (EST)

What’s a straight apostrophe? What’s a smart apostrophe? I only have 1 type of apostrophe on my keyboard.

Regular apostrophes are ', smart apostrophes are ’. The latter is what you use. You might be able to change this in your computer settings somewhere? 22:59, February 12, 2020 (EST)

If you compare the type of apostrophe in your sentence to the one in my phrase: "It's not 'that' bad, sir," you may notice that yours appears to be more visually curved or angled differently. Alternatively, view the following: ’ vs '. There are several methods to resolve this, the first being entering computer keyboard settings and finding any potential smart quotes option and turning it off. The other is to copy and paste it in when using them on a mainspace page or (more importantly) a file name. If you want more information about their differences, click this link and it will take you to my user page for more information about what they are. Trig - 23:03, February 12, 2020 (EST)

There is only one problem about that. I am not using a computer, I am actually using an iPad. I actually do not have a computer, except for a very slow, old one that cannot even turn on. I cannot change the type of the apostrophe... wait a sec. I will go look.

For apple products, go to Settings > General > Keyboards and then turn the 'Smart Punctuation' off. Trig - 09:54, February 13, 2020 (EST)

Stuff Not About Smart Apostrophes

So I was wondering why I cannot make a user page, because I have been on user pages of other people. It says that I don not have permission to create the page. I really want a user page.

Userpages can be made by members that are Autoconfirmed. You must make ten edits and wait a period of seven days. Trig - 09:54, February 13, 2020 (EST)

OK! I got it!

Also, make sure you sign your posts either using four tildes (~) or by writing [[User:Katelyn Croteau]]. Trig - 11:06, February 13, 2020 (EST)

Alright! User:Katelyn Croteau

Team Koopa

What side are YOU on? Team Mario or Team Koopa! There’s no actual teams, but what I’m saying is that I would be on Team Koopa. - Katelyn Croteau

Other Stuff

Yay! I finally fixed that smart apostrophe thing! Look: Bowser's the coolest!

Oh, and what I just said was true.

Files

Why can't I upload files and make edits? I am logged in.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Katelyn Croteau (talk).

You've already uploaded the file: File:Peach Kissing Mario SMW.gif Mario JC 22:33, February 16, 2020 (EST)

How do you get it onto the SMW article?
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Katelyn Croteau (talk).

You just did. The image was just located to the bottom of the infobox.

The page's introduction isn't the place to be adding this information anyway. It would be better suited on Princess Peach's article.

And please start signing your comments with four tildes (~~~~), even on your own talk page. Mario JC 22:39, February 16, 2020 (EST)

You also need add the necessary file details to your file page as you've already been explained above. I notice you're uploading by clicking on the image icon on the text box, but I suggest using Special:Upload. If not, then please at least include this in the description:

==Summary==
Peach kissing Mario

==Licensing==
{{game-screenshot}}

[[Category:Super Mario World Images]]

And replace "game-screenshot" and "Super Mario World" with the different image type and game (as the above reminders explain) if the file is different. If you don't add a license or category for your files, you may receive a warning. Mario JC 22:45, February 16, 2020 (EST)

User Pages

Is it OK if I include unofficial images on my user page? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 19:22, March 10, 2020 (EDT)Katelyn CroteauKatelyn Croteau (talk) 19:22, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

Yes, as long as they're marked with {{personal-image}}. MarioWiki:Personal images has more details. Mario JC 20:20, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

Second-person writing

Avoid using the word "you" on articles. Only "the player" or the character's name should be used. Mario JC 20:20, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

Bowser portrait

Ooooooh you should have saved that as a .png, .jpg wrecks pixel art. Just for future reference. It's pretty nice, by the way. Thumb's on the wrong side, but I've made that mistake with him too. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:58, March 11, 2020 (EDT)

User space

You've been editing your user page exclusively for the past couple of days. Try to mix in some main article edits as well.

Additionally, you uploaded an already existing file again. Please check the game's page and gallery to see if the image you want is already there, this case being File:SMP Boxart.png. 19:12, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

Dear The Koopa King, It has come to our attention that you are currently in violation of the userspace policy. Please review the policy and abide by it, or else a warning will be issued. Thank you for your cooperation.

While it's great that you want us to get to know you better, you need to cut down on the amount of time you spend on your user page. This isn't a blog site, so do focus more on main articles.
An option you can try is making your user page elsewhere, like on a Word document, and then pasting it all in one edit onto the page.
Also, you need to use File:Toad Pixel Art By Katelyn Croteau.jpg somewhere, otherwise it will end up being deleted for going unused. 15:55, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Super Mario Box Art

Someone deleted my Super Mario Party Box Art image from my user page! And it was from this wiki!

Oh. I understand now. But how do I get those pictures on my user page?

[[File:Filename.extension|thumb]] More info at Help:Image. 20:33, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

User space

Sorry. I just like going on there. I'll make sure to mix in some main articles, too. Thanks for the advice. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 15:58, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Do go over Help:Contents for our policies, and maybe you can find something you can do at MarioWiki:Maintenance. 16:05, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Edits

I just edited the Hammer Bro. page, but the edit was deleted. Why?

Katelyn Croteau (talk) 16:08, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

You are able to view past edits and the reasons for them by clicking the "history" tab at the top of every page. 16:09, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (not filling in file information) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Your Hammer Bro image as well as the previous (now-deleted) uploads were missing the details I explained above (the text with the "Summary", "License" and a category). Please remember to add those details in the future (or use Special:Upload as I've suggested); we shouldn't have to keep pointing out the same image-related guidelines for you. Try to read through some of the pages on Help:Contents like MarioWiki:Manual of Style as Alex95 has told you. Mario JC 22:14, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

Deleting Users

How do I delete my user. I don't want it anymore. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 17:58, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

It's just that I don't like my account. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:01, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

You can't, but making a new account is not acceptable, either (as is what you did with Ultra Koopa). If you don't want to use your account anymore, then don't use it. 18:40, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

But can I change this account name to Ultra Koopa? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:43, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

If you want a rename, you make a request at MarioWiki:Changing username. 18:45, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Renaming Users

When I followed the directions on that page, it said "approved". But it didn't change my username. Why? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:53, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

You left the "|a" there when copying from the above section. I removed it. 18:55, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks ;)! But does that change my username? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:56, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Not yet. You have to wait for a bureaucrat to rename you. 18:57, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Got it :)! Katelyn Croteau (talk) 18:59, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Now that I've waited, can I rename? Katelyn Croteau (talk) 22:09, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

Now that you have been registered for three months, you can add a new request to MarioWiki:Changing username (separate from the old one), and a bureaucrat should rename you. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 22:16, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

OK :) Katelyn Croteau (talk) 22:18, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks! Katelyn Croteau (talk) 22:18, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

Italics

Regarding your edit on that other account, remember to italicise game titles like Super Mario Maker 2. You add two straight apostrophes ' (not smart apostrophes ’ as mentioned above; I'd suggest changing the apostrophe setting for this) before and after the name: ''Super Mario Maker 2'' Please read MarioWiki:Manual of Style as directed to you already.

Another thing, if you blank your userpage, your personal images will be deleted unless you include them to your userpage. Mario JC 21:25, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

OK! Thanks for the advice. Katelyn Croteau (talk) 10:38, March 25, 2020 (EDT)

Adding Images

How do you add images to your articles? It's not showing a place to add them. The Koopa King (talk) 22:40, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

You can find that at Help:Image. 23:11, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

I took your advice and went to Help:Image, and it told me to write the name of the file down where I was editing the page and I tried that and it didn't work. The Koopa King (talk) 11:27, June 12, 2020 (EDT)

OK! I've uploaded it now. The Koopa King (talk) 12:07, June 12, 2020 (EDT)

Categories

I've just uploaded an image, so how do I categorize it? The Koopa King (talk) 23:04, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

You can find that at MarioWiki:Categories.

In the case of your Koopa King image, just replace it all with {{personal-image|The Koopa King}}. 23:11, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

How do you do that? (By the way I'm sorta new to all this stuff because I wasn't on here for a while) The Koopa King (talk) 10:05, June 9, 2020 (EDT)

You can edit file pages like you would any other. 10:33, June 9, 2020 (EDT)

Deleting Files

How do you delete files you've uploaded? The Koopa King (talk) 21:53, June 13, 2020 (EDT)

You mark them with the delete template and a reason why you want it deleted. Like {{delete|reason}}. Be sure to remove any links to the image. 22:21, June 13, 2020 (EDT)

OK thanks :) The Koopa King (talk) 22:27, June 13, 2020 (EDT)

Hi

Hi The Koopa King (talk) 22:15, June 13, 2020 (EDT)

This is just a random place to talk i guess The Koopa King (talk) 22:16, June 13, 2020 (EDT)

File information

Noticed you're using Special:Upload now, however your last upload didn't display the file information properly:

• "Aboutfile" is the template name, so that should be left alone. The "}}" underneath "|5=Other versions (use file link)" closes the template, so don't remove those either.
  • Remove any lines that you're not using, like "|5=Other versions (use file link)".
• The category should be in square brackets (not curly), and is for where it came from, not what kind of image it is. You need to find the appropriate one from Category:MarioWiki images, so for this anime, it's a movie, so you'd find it by going to "Images by film" and find "Category:Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land Images", so you add [[Category:Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land Images]]
• A license needs to be added by selecting from the "Licensing" drop-down menu.

This is the result.

Please review the coloured box reminders above carefully. Mario JC 00:55, June 14, 2020 (EDT)
