Uploading images
If you want to upload the images yourself, you can go to Special:Upload. Just upload the file directly from your computer! 19:15, 14 September 2018 (EDT) I tried doing that, but I still don't understand how to put in the Floating Bandinero artwork, when a screenshot image of it already exists on its page. --Hamshamcart (talk) 19:33, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Clicking the source filename "Browse" button will allow you to upload a file directly from your computer. Just choose the image you want, fill out the necessary parameters in he aboutfile template (or remove it entirely), categorize the image correctly (in this case, replace the uncategorized template with ), choose the character-artwork license, and the upload it!
 * To actually place the image on the page, use FILENAME.png . Or just the FILENAME.png if in a gallery.
 * Lot of stuff there, so let me know if you have any questions :P 19:38, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

I tried doing it, but I'm still stuck. How can it be done properly, when it keeps showing the same results? --Hamshamcart (talk) 21:03, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
 * What are you seeing? You should be able to upload images. 21:25, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I think only autoconfirmed users can upload images. Just checked and he has to wait for at least three or four more days. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 21:40, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Apparently not. Porple and the Special:ListGroupRights say otherwise. You have to be autoconfirmed to upload through URL. 21:44, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

For future reference, to make a page the image is linked to appear in the file's File usage section, the image has to actually be placed on the page and the link to the page will appear in the File usage section automatically. 19:06, 20 September 2018 (EDT) Okay, thank you. I just needed some motivation to be better. --Hamshamcart (talk) 19:08, 20 September 2018 (EDT)

Additionally:

I'll understand if you upload and then fix the parameters on your computer. Editing from console is a pain :P 15:33, 6 October 2018 (EDT) Yes, it is. But I'm wondering if you or anyone else can rip these Bowser Minions for high quality collecting? Just throwing it out there ;)--Hamshamcart (talk) 15:43, 6 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I don't have a Switch, but uploading directly from the Switch is about as high-quality as you're going to get at the moment I think. Unless you mean the sprites? 15:47, 6 October 2018 (EDT)

Renames
Rather than changing the name in the infobox, you have to actually move the page to the new name, change the links to the page, and site a source for the new name. 16:42, 23 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Additionally, we're still going over the material, so the renames should be held off on for the moment. 16:43, 23 October 2018 (EDT)

Spike Top
The Spike Top image you are placing on the Spike Top page doesn't exactly have a place to go, so it's better left in the gallery. Additionally, goes on image pages themselves, not actual articles. 12:26, 26 October 2018 (EDT) That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you, Alex. Just let me know when this Bowser Minion's artwork is improved.--Hamshamcart (talk) 12:36, 26 October 2018 (EDT)

Italics
Hey, just letting you know that italics are formatted with two apostrophes (e.g. ). Quotation marks won't work. 05:33, 27 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Please remember to italicize game titles with apostrophes, as your recent edits were missing them. -- 17:21, 12 November 2018 (EST)
 * Quotation marks won't work; you need to use two apostrophes. Both game titles and series titles should use them. 21:20, 12 November 2018 (EST)
 * To make sure it's abundantly clear, it's a ' followed by another ' on both sides, not a ". Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:46, 12 November 2018 (EST)

You're still forgetting this after being reminded multiple times. You're on an official last warning though I don't feel this warrants an immediate block, but it will come to that if you continue ignoring advice on your talk page. This is a final warning. 20:11, 29 November 2018 (EST)

SMBE names
Read this proposal. It was decided via community consensus to not use names from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia as official subject names on the wiki, so please stop changing the names back. 08:30, 31 October 2018 (EDT)


 * Unfourtanely they should, because they're the future of fun and this wiki still needs to find more models of the 3 Snowmad minions, and a lot of Bowser minions like Stilt Guys, Solo Toadies, Mega Grrolls, the Toady's upgraded design, all the other colors of Burrbo, and lots more stuff to do like upgrading the Spike Top artwork. So leave the Mega Grrroll, Bull's-Eye Banzai, and other subjects alone, Bowser hater.--Hamshamcart (talk) 16:23, 31 October 2018 (EDT)


 * You're not understanding the situation. This nothing to do with personal dislike towards a character. This was a rule decided by the community. If you have a problem with the proposal and think the names should be used, create a counterproposal once four weeks have passed. However, continue to make changes against a passed proposal and you will receive a warning. 19:37, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

It's actually just due to those minions that had good name changes, which u guys don't like. The ones me and my men agree on are Piranha Pod, Bull's-Eye Banzai, Mega Grrroll, Fire Jumping Piranha, and a bunch of others like Launch Pad. It's the Good Future for video game villain kind, so you have to get with the times. And by the time Mario and Luigi Paper Jam 2 rolls around (Possibly), through a great article from NE (https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-says-it-will-keep-3ds-business-going-preparing-new-titles/) after Fawful's final death in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, the VA will have more minions in its ranks and everyone will call us heroes of the Koopa Troops (Both Regular and Paper Mario).--Hamshamcart (talk) 20:28, 31 October 2018 (EDT)
 * You really don't seem to understand what's being said. These are not "good name changes," they're completely made-up and fandom based, and to use them would be citing ourselves, which would be bad. Also, you're using a whole lot of bizarre phraseology there that makes absolutely no sense with each other, and half the time seem to be speaking in an in-universe standpoint, which helps no one. It's a community decision to not use these names, as they are fake, and the English ESMB was lazily-written and fandom plagiarism-heavy. Using these names is, to put it bluntly, against the rules now. Courtesy of community decision. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:33, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Well, I like these names. Bull's-Eye Banzai is more awesome than King Bill, because there is only one, and that's the Bowser Minion that reappears in the New Super Mario Bros U games and Puzzles and Dragons Z Mario Edition. It is not plagiarism because the current names this wiki were boring and need good updating. And the in-universe standpoint is meant to inspire a cry for Mario & Luigi Paper Jam 2. Hope you like the image, Doc. ;)


 * When you disagree with other users' stances on an issue, don't be stubborn about it, as how you were acting in the above banter, and especially towards an administrator. You're still not understanding anyways. The fact that you like names such as "Bull's-Eye Banzai" or "Mega Grrrol" is purely subjective and has nothing to do with the community consensus that was agreed upon (with a super-majority too), and the fact that the plagiarism of this wiki by Zack Davisson went as far as to garner coverage from Nintendo Life also proves why. Like Mario jc said above, wait four weeks to launch a counterproposal instead of making changes directly in violation of a passed proposal, otherwise you will receive a warning. Thank you.


 * Also, I tagged the image you uploaded with since it's unofficial and should not belong in mainspace. Just thought I'd let you know.  21:42, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Don't do this
This is not going to fly. Given your image above is there, I can only assume that that's your own Twitter account, and you are not "an organization," and due to not being affiliated with Nintendo, it's not "serious talk." Also, the article linked mentions neither Paper Jam nor Project X Zone in any capacity, as my handy crtl+f tells me. I'm honestly considering giving you a for this. I'll refrain for now, but seriously, don't do it again, it's unacceptable. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:08, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

(This adds on to Doc von Schmeltwick's commentary above.)

Since you seem to have a problematic history of fanon on the wiki, I decided to just go ahead and give you this warning. Your piece of trivia you added to the Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam page here was purely fancruft, but saying it was "serious" in your edit summary is borderline unacceptable. In fact, your obsession with fanon on the wiki should not go as far as to insisting that you should add said fanon to mainspace articles just because you "feel like it". Continue this and you may face a small temporary block. 23:10, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

Final warning
This was very inappropriate and utterly unacceptable. First of all, you can't remove other users' comments, especially just to pretend something never happened, and especially if it's removing a warning without a proper appeal. Not only that, but you also insisted that people only talk about fanon topics in a vain attempt to get your way in the discussion. "This is for the good of gaming society. Please only type relevant topics like Fawful's final death, and what Bowser Minions should reappear in Bowser Jr.'s Journey." is not an acceptable thing to say on your talk page. Since there's really no longer an excuse in failing to listen to what other users have to say (even if you don't necessarily agree with them) and trying to talk about fanon after we've attempted to remind you about this roughly seven times, this is your final warning. Continue and you will face a block. 11:54, 4 November 2018 (EST)

Kremling Images
Due to your track record, I have a hard time believing that those images you just uploaded are official. Particularly as red Kritters didn't appear in DK64, and didn't appear in that vibrant a red at all until Power Tennis. Where exactly on DKVine did you find them? Give a link. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:44, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * Red Kritters did appear Kremling Kosh and that memory game from Frantic Factory, just saying. -- 19:59, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Still, the likelihood that Rare would make badly-executed edit art for every enemy recolor for at least four games is quite low, in my opinion. They had the original models; they could have retextured them and gave them new poses and things like that. That Krash image is 99% definitely fake. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:05, 6 November 2018 (EST)

The artwork section of the site. https://www.dkvine.com/?p=gallery&album=artwork&page=dkc2 https://www.dkvine.com/?p=gallery&album=artwork&page=dkc https://www.dkvine.com/?p=gallery&album=artwork&page=dk64--Hamshamcart (talk) 20:23, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * OK, you're clear, but I'm still not sure if all of these are real, with some of them, the recoloring leaves some artifacts... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:30, 6 November 2018 (EST)

Naw, they're real. You just need to look closely and you'll find some truths.--Hamshamcart (talk) 20:35, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * I'm not finding "truths," I'm finding edits. And given how many variations of the same image are on DKVine's page for Grunty's Revenge, I'm legitimately getting suspicious as to whether or not it's a credible source for images anymore. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:56, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * Apparently the site is full of fake edited images, so I imagine that at somewhere between 80 and 97% of the images you uploaded were fake. Some of them, like the Purple Klaptrap one, weren't even the right value of the color they were intended to represent. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:43, 7 November 2018 (EST)

btw, categories are placed by typing, not. The latter will place the category description on the file info and not actually categorize the image. Also, files need to be placed on pages, which has been told to you before. 20:40, 6 November 2018 (EST)

Snow Pokey
Once again, I have a hard time believing that this image of a Snow Pokey is official. Honestly, where did you find it? 13:08, 11 November 2018 (EST)
 * Fantendo through Google Images. They managed to do a good job ripping it from the key artwork of 3D World.--Hamshamcart (talk) 13:30, 11 November 2018 (EST)
 * I can believe that, although when you upload an image you should cite the source(s) instead of putting "Internet Stuff" next time. Thanks!   13:46, 11 November 2018 (EST)
 * Also, try to avoid uploading unofficially and/or poorly cropped artwork in the future. Thanks! 20:18, 11 November 2018 (EST)

Uploads
Please avoid uploading low-quality images that are poorly cropped, rescaled, and/or images that were originally JPG converted to PNG (this goes against our policy). If you need to, crop them normally with the background intact, without rescaling (as that sometimes worsens the quality) and without changing the original image format. You also didn't categorise your uploads and fill in the template properly, and forgot to italicise game titles here, against what you've already been told above multiple times. Remember you're on a last warning, so please make the effort to follow the advice that has been given to you instead of leaving others to fix your edits, otherwise you could face a block. 20:43, 22 November 2018 (EST)

Additionally, after you upload an image, you should place it on an article. Help:Image shows you how. 21:11, 22 November 2018 (EST)

Reminder
You had the week to go over the rules and guidelines and review your talk page, but you're still making the edits you were already reminded about, relying others to fix them for you. Wiki editing is a collaborative effort, but these are things you're capable of doing yourself, especially after you were explained how to do them. Please take better care with your edits; you could be faced with another block if this happens again.

In regards to the second edit, this page shows you how to cite sources for references. If you're not sure you did something unfamiliar to you right, you can always alert others through the summary box or talk page. 04:44, 7 December 2018 (EST)

Speculation and edits
Please avoid using words like "presumably", as it implies speculation. If you can source the information that they will be allies, do that instead. Otherwise, just don't include that information.

Additionally, to italicize titles, you use two apostrophes on both sides, not a quotation mark on both sides ( rather than  ). You also seem to be having trouble with headers; please see the edits after those from the link above.

Also, sections on an upcoming game should be marked with. 13:08, 16 December 2018 (EST)

Stub articles
Hello, thanks for your recent contributions, however, articles should be complete when published, not stubs like with the Big Magikoopa page, unless it is a large subject that needs multiple editors to finish, such as Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), and, in that case, you should use the construction template. If you need to exit the mariowiki tab while creating an article, then instead of creating a stub article you should create a project page/sandbox to store the article until it is finished. Also you should check the code with the Preview tab before publishing. Thanks! 18:49, 16 December 2018 (EST)

Your recent edits
This was the initial version of the Big Magikoopa page, which you created: {{species-infobox
 * title=
 * image=
 * parent_species=Magikoopa
 * first_appearance=Super Mario Maker (2015}
 * latest_appearance=Mario Sports Superstars {2017}

Big Magikoopas are enemies in the Super Mario (series), first appearing in Super Mario Maker.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS
Big Magikoopas make their debut as Magikoopas that can be enlarged with Super Mushrooms. They act the same as Magikoopas, only bigger.

''Mario Sports Superstars"
A Big Magikoopa can appear as a boss in the Road to Superstar mode. It attacks by firing magic blasts at the amiibo cards and teleports around. When its health is depleted halfway, it can summon Bullet Bills to attack the amiibo cards.

Catergory:Super Mario Maker Enemies

Here is all of the formatting issues you placed into the article:
 * 1) Placing braces in the infobox where there should have been parenthesis
 * 2) Forgot the closing braces for the infobox
 * 3) Forgot italics in the intro sentence
 * 4) Put a quotation mark at the end of the Mario Sports Superstars" subheader (like what I just did)
 * 5) Left unnecessarily large line breaks in places
 * 6) And finally, misspelled "Category" as "Catergory" in one spot

Please remember to hit the "Show preview" button before saving the page, as many of those errors could have been easily resolved if you had just hit the preview button. Since you've had a history of doing this, I just went ahead and gave you this reminder. Thank you for your understanding. 18:55, 16 December 2018 (EST) Okay. Just be ready for the Journey and the SS.--Hamshamcart (talk) 18:59, 16 December 2018 (EST)
 * (Changed "code" to "pre" so it works better) There wasn't a need for two reminders here, but yeah, do be more careful. You been told about this information a few times before. 19:00, 16 December 2018 (EST)

To add, this means checking over your edits before leaving them. If there's an error with the coding, make the fixes, but if you absolutely don't know, undo them and/or let someone else know in the summary, but don't simply leave them in a rushed state with no consideration for the quality of the published edits. 08:09, 19 December 2018 (EST) K. -_---Hamshamcart (talk) 14:43, 19 December 2018 (EST)

Re:Tenacious Tucks and More
I'm sorry, but i don't own the game, and i don't know how to rip models out of it. In fact, i can't rip models at all. -- 11:41, 22 December 2018 (EST) Fair enough. Someone else will finish the jobs. You just stick to the editing, and thank you for your concern. --Hamshamcart (talk) 11:51, 22 December 2018 (EST)
 * You seem to like model rips, don't ya? :) -- 11:58, 22 December 2018 (EST)

Yes. For certain Bowser minions that have modern appearances (Stilt Guys, for example), yet don't have artwork. Also applies to the 3 remaining Snowmad minions and Bowser minions that appear in modern games onwards like the Stone Spike and the Mega Grrrol. (The former with the brown stone spike ball, and waiting for a model render from either MSS, MPIT, or MTA, since the NSMBW appearance for its weapon is redundant.) --Hamshamcart (talk) 12:02, 22 December 2018 (EST)
 * For Mega Grrrol's name and other, we don't allow the book to be cited. For instance, Starbag was the old article's name which was a translation of the german name before it was moved to Petari, it's official internal filename. I see your above messages, so i decided to tell you. Check out this proposal. This proposal does unfortunately not allow the book to be cited. We can only cite the Japanese one. Also, regarding model rips, Stilt Guys aren't in the model resource, nor in the italian wiki. -- 12:07, 22 December 2018 (EST)

I know. Everyone on this wiki should look harder, and keep trying till they're found. It can be done. #MinionAmbitionFirst --Hamshamcart (talk) 12:11, 22 December 2018 (EST)
