When moving files
Just an advice. When you move files, you don't need to capitalize words, you just need to move the extension. For example: When you want to move a file called File:Mario and luigi.PNG, you don't need to capitalize "Luigi", you only need to move to "File:Mario and luigi.png". See what i did with File:Boo blah.png. -- 02:16, May 21, 2019 (EDT)


 * Since they're moving the file anyway, might as well fix any other mistakes in the name while they're at it. There's nothing wrong with that. 02:26, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * I know there is nothing wrong, i'm just telling him that capitalizing a word is unneeded, and what really matters is the extension. -- 02:31, May 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * They don't have to, but if they want to do that together with the extension, let them. 02:40, May 21, 2019 (EDT)

While doing the above is great, why remove the parenthesis from file names? They're easy to type, and the filename is already clear as to what it is. 16:35, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

Moving Files on WiKirby
Seeing as you move so many files on mario wiki, would you be interested in helping move files on WiKirby? There's quite a bit of uppercase-extension files there, especially on here (and yes, you can change to monobook skin via your preferences if you don't like default layout). Just an offer since you're such a help here :) Results May Vary (talk) 16:53, June 1, 2019 (EDT)


 * That is a consideration of mine once I get most of the stuff done here, or at least have other people doing this besides me. As of now, there is a lot here to manage before I do other wikis. Short answer: Maybe, but not now. Trig - 09:55, June 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * Do you ever get tired of moving file names? :P Results May Vary (talk) 11:42, June 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * Never. Trig - 11:44, June 2, 2019 (EDT)

WhatLinksHere
You should check Special:WhatLinksHere (it's under "tools" on the left navigation pane) for the old file names rather than just the "File usage" header before marking them for deletion, as the latter doesn't show file page links like this. 21:59, June 3, 2019 (EDT)


 * Darn, and I usually catch those too. Sorry! Trig - 16:35, June 4, 2019 (EDT)

Undergrunt image
Why did you tag that Undergrunt image with the image-quality tag? It's in high res because of fpv, iirc, I spoke with the person who took it before they did to ensure it'd be good enough. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:48, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

Image quality
You were already notified about this. Stop marking images with unless there's a good reason (e.g. a watermark) or they're poor enough quality that they need to be reuploaded (i.e. not every single jpg that already shows what it needs to show in adequate quality). Some images were only available in jpg in the source they came from anyway. 02:46, June 20, 2019 (EDT)

Inactive users
Telling someone a file on their userpage has been moved is good, but an inactive user likely won't see the message. Just keep it to active users, and anyone can correct the files on their page themselves if they see it's broken. 15:41, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

File .jpg
Do you know any active users who create or can create image files called File .jpg? Lord Falafel (talk) 17:30, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * You mean upload files as .jpg? Anyone can do that, when it is named as such and assuming the file is jpg. Trig - 17:32, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * You wouldn't mind doing that for me, would you? Please? Lord Falafel (talk) 17:34, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * Not a mind at all. Go ahead and do what you need to get it to me. Trig - 17:36, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * This link leads to a picture that needs a jpg file. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q165133918 Lord Falafel (talk) 17:39, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * It's called super Mario seesaw takeover and it was made by Banpresto and officially licensed by Nintendo. Please send the jpg file to me on my talk page when the jpg has been created. Lord Falafel (talk) 17:53, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

File can be found at File:Super Mario Yoshi Ride.jpg (and if you move it, let me know to fix my page here). If it weren't for the fact that I've seen you flinging yourself everywhere to get this stuff, I'd have thought this was some form of malicious intent because this computer bombed hard trying to get to the page. No idea how to categorize or copyright it though, so please do that as soon as you can (use to do so) pretty clear who's responding here - 17:57, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * I messed up telling you about those battery cars. If you look up @yamapen3 Mario on Google images, you will be shown various arcade games they found throughout Japan. They use anime girls as their profile pictures. If you have the color setting option on Google images, click red for the Mario battery car I described to you and green for the yoshi battery car I described to you. And make sure the images you send me have no anime girls on the pictures and that no one is riding the battery cars. Please help me with this. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:56, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * I'm all for getting images, but hunting things down is not how I operate. Not only have you not described battery cars to me, but I am not going to engage in anything involving Google besides their electronic mail. There are plenty of other people that would do this for you, but I am not one of them. My apologies. Trig - 22:05, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * Furthermore, I'm more than happy to help a person once, but I have plenty of my own work to do. I try to say this honestly and nicely when I say that it feels like you're forcing this project of yours upon others; and based on your last talk page block of test, forcing on myself. I urge you to please seek elsewhere. Trig - 22:12, June 26, 2019 (EDT)


 * Ok. I will do that. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:21, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

RE: From one file czar to another
Although I don't own any of the games you mentioned (or have much interest in the Mario sports games), I definitely plan to work on plenty of other ones when I'm done with SMG/2, but since those two games are such a massive project I'm trying to focus a lot on getting those ones as perfect as I can before I move on. Specifically, I plan to work on Yoshi's Woolly World, Super Mario 64, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and probably many others. Also, my userpage has a list of games I own if you're curious what else I could work on. As for how I capture the images, I follow 's amazing, though slightly outdated, guide. Specifically, I use the Dolphin emulator for Wii/GCN, the method described on my userpage for Wii U, and the built-in screenshot function for Switch.

Thank you also for the amazing work you do! I imagine it must be boring and tedious, but necessary. If you want to learn more about what I do and some technical stuff related to images, read my userpage and the above-mentioned Wildgoosespeeder guide. You may also be interested in reading older talk page discussions by, , and. Though they are no longer active users, they are probably some of our wiki's most influential file maintainers. -- 21:52, July 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * If you'd like, you can link your demonstration image on my talk page. -- 23:22, July 4, 2019 (EDT)

Ugly Green Frog and Fat Man
Bazooka Mario loved giving files ridiculous names back in the day, but stopped many many years ago. No reason to complain about them now. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:24, July 2, 2019 (EDT)


 * not really complaining, just means more needless work in fixing things. that's just the way the world spins, though. oh well. Trig, the guy that is really uptight about file names - 22:26, July 2, 2019 (EDT)

File:Blue Extra Live Balloon DKC2.png
want to rename the "Live" in filename to "Life"? This will fix the spelling & save me the effort of renaming it myself (seeing as you're already doing this big job at it). Thanks Results May Vary (talk) 16:35, July 3, 2019 (EDT)
