Mini-game
Please stop changing the article title to "mini-game". The display title should reflect the actual spelling of the article title; if you think it should be renamed to reflect the in-game format, discuss it first. Changing the article content text to reflect it is fine, but make sure you don't create a redirect link and pipe the link instead while linking to the article's actual name (i.e.  and not  ).

Also, I understand MP5 has a dream theme but can you point out where you're getting these names like "Velocity" and "Baseball"? 20:57, January 27, 2021 (EST)

Jacob
I'm just making some words like from the past game and references and fixing mistake; everybody makes mistakes especially while typing I've been seeing so many mistakes of typing for the last five years i just want help please i'm a big fan of Mario
 * It's still nonetheless important that you follow our policies and guidelines, as almost all of them are there for a reason. While "mini-game" is indeed an alternative spelling to "minigame", the former is rarely ever used in games, hence why we go with the latter. 21:04, January 29, 2021 (EST)

Okay I won't mess with the word "mini-game" again. Promise

Hey can show me more of the rules here while I'm a fan.
 * You can check out this navtemplate, which will show you nearly every policy page that you would need to know. 14:25, January 30, 2021 (EST)

Please stop removing this discussion from here. All talk page comments must be left alone. 21:08, February 7, 2021 (EST)
 * Yeah, I thought the message was clear when I first undid the removal edit.. -- 21:11, February 7, 2021 (EST)

Do you think you have an idea for Introduction and Ending on Tube It or Lose It?

Do you think you have an idea for Introduction and Ending on the minigame Tube It or Lose It? The minigame does takes place on a snowy mountain I figured.

Do you have any ideas for an Intro and Ending for Mathletes? It takes place in a Coin Show!

Panic Pinball takes place in a big pinball machine and it's setting is Super Mario Bros. theme. The Bill Blasters mini-game takes place in a castle.

Redirect links
Avoid redirect links (not linking to the article's actual name) like  for Super Star. When pluralising, just place the "s" after the brackets or pipe it if the spelling is different (e.g.  ).

Also, please keep in mind that when naming game titles, they need to be italicised (so Mario Party 5 should be formatted as Mario Party 5). Refer to Manual of Style. 19:51, March 12, 2021 (EST)

I've brought 4 new images for Mario Kart: Double Dash!! But, how do bring in the files?


 * Go to Special:Upload or click on the "Upload file" link under "tools" on the navigation bar. Make sure you fill in the summary properly, add a license, and replace "" with an image category link ( in this case). You may also want to check the game's gallery and category pages to see if similar images don't already exist first.


 * Also, please remember to sign your comments with ~ even on your own talk page. 22:34, March 31, 2021 (EDT)

As I explained above, make sure you fill in the "aboutfile" in the summary. should also be removed after adding the category link. (See my edit here.)

If you're not sure how to add an image to an article, Help:Image and Help:Gallery explains this. 08:49, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

Please read through these messages. Make sure to remove any parameters (like "4=Describe edits, if any") if you're not using them. See here to understand how it's done. 20:54, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

Yes, well I have checked but I'm having a hard time getting it to the category. So I was wandering if I bring in the new images that's from the game then some one else can see and figure it out and I'll report it to them to check out as I make the file name of them.
 * Please sign your comments with ~ 21:02, April 1, 2021 (EDT)


 * Filling out the file details is the uploader's responsibility, not others. It's not too hard, you just need to copy how I've done it here as I've linked to you above (replace "Subject of the image" with a description, remove any unused lines, and replace with the category link). You added the category link correctly with File:FlowerCupLogo-MKDD.jpg; you just forgot to remove .  21:09, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

Tell me how to make pages for a new file.


 * The file page is automatically created when you upload; you just need to fill out the details. The Help pages I linked you above then tell you how to add them to an article. And please remember to sign your comments. 22:23, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

If you're not using, just remove the entire template. 23:11, April 17, 2021 (EDT)

Summaries
Please read Good writing. It's unnecessary to cram every single detail into the history section when we only need the information most relevant to the plot.

Additionally, don't begin sentences with conjunctions like "but" and "then". Either use a comma, or use a period but omit the conjunction. 03:36, April 7, 2021 (EDT)

But that was all true in the story and I did have to double check anything to add more to history and that'll make sense to any reader. After all conjunctions in a few sentences in a paragraph.

You should also use present tense when describing gameplay, not past tense (e.g. "the duo come back to the entrance" instead of "came back"). 00:27, May 6, 2021 (EDT)

Reminder
You have been told lots of times on this page already to sign your comments, and you're still not doing it. All you have to do is type " ~ " at the end of your comment. 06:17, April 8, 2021 (EDT)

Could somebody add "Areas" to the "Rogueport Sewers" article?

I have ideas for that.
 * Could bring it up in that article's talk page, and did you read the reminder? 16:32, April 8, 2021 (EDT)

I read level 1 offenses, i'll try not to make mistakes.
 * What I meant is you're still ignoring every message on this page regarding signing your comments, which is a requirement for all users on every talk page, including your own. You may be given a warning if you keep leaving your comments unsigned from this point. 19:11, April 8, 2021 (EDT)

Jacob
Sorry I always forget that and check it out --Jsylvan (talk) 19:16, April 8, 2021 (EDT)Jacob

My username is Jsylvan.--Jsylvan (talk) 19:18, April 8, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Uploads

 * Make sure you use your images as soon as you upload them, otherwise they may be deleted if we can't find a place for them. You still have a number of unused images.


 * Please don't upload separate duplicates or very similar images. If you need to rename, use the "move" button at the top of the file page. If you want to upload a better version of an existing image in the same format, use the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the file page.


 * You're still leaving empty templates on file pages. Just remove the "  " text entirely if you're not using it as I told you above.  21:25, April 18, 2021 (EDT)

I know, I tried to ddelete that mistake, but I couldn't find the answer.--Jsylvan (talk) 01:14, April 19, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Can you please follow what other users are telling you. I've notified you twice for removing already. If you don't know the answer or solution to something, please ask; we're willing to help. 03:11, April 20, 2021 (EDT)

Can you tell how to delete the mistake I made in the sixth icon?--(talk) 04:13, April 22, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

How do I delete the image mistake?--Jsylvan (talk) 04:24, April 22, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Please read your messages. You're still leaving behind empty templates, and it's tedious for others to have to remove them after you. You can change the name by clicking "move" at the top of the file page and entering a new name as I've also mentioned above. It's good that you're seeking assistance but check your messages to see if the answer has already been provided to you before asking. 06:35, April 22, 2021 (EDT)

I did check on the above, but I couldn't find the answer and barely understand what it was talking about last night. I'm being careful, I promise.

I read the template and I did not know, that was my advice for this hour.
 * Not only are you still not filling in the aboutfile templates, you're also not licensing them properly. They should be licensed as "screenshots", not "sprites". 17:32, April 22, 2021 (EDT)


 * Well they're actually the thumbnails ripped from the rules screen in the game, so they are technically sprites. 22:14, April 22, 2021 (EDT)

The filename got changed somehow and I don't know what happened?--Jsylvan (talk) 19:33, April 22, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Never mind, I fixed it myself.--Jsylvan (talk) 19:38, April 22, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Stop leaving empty "aboutfile" templates. Several times I've reminded you to just delete the " text.  22:11, April 22, 2021 (EDT)

I'm very sorry about that. I didn't see that coming that. I'm just a black 17-year old and I have been following my dreams since 2016. Please, I did read and checked but I sometimes forget about the specialties. I can be reminded for help and I will mind that. It's for the wiki and I'm gonna strengthen up my typing experience. I would like to say Thank You.--Jsylvan (talk) 22:28, April 22, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan.

Oh man. I missed those messages about aboutfile so many times by mistake and I even tried to remove them with "move" and I should've just thought of just the categories.--Jsylvan (talk) 12:48, April 23, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Remember to use your images. There's a bunch you've uploaded but still haven't used: Special:ListFiles/Jsylvan 23:41, April 23, 2021 (EDT)

Moving files
Now that you know how to move, one more thing after you do that is to add  on the old file name to mark it for deletion, since we don't want file redirects. Make sure there aren't any articles that still use the old name first (on the old name's page, click on the "What links here" link under "tools" on the navigation bar), and edit those articles to change from the old file name to the new file name, like I've done here. 20:48, April 24, 2021 (EDT)

Okay, thanks. I'll get used to it sooner or later and get rid of the mistakes.--Jsylvan (talk) 20:51, April 24, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

I made a mistake on the Mario Party 2 result board logos to the Mario Party category. I tried using move, but no clue.


 * You just need to edit the page and change "Category:Mario Party Images" to "Category:Mario Party 2 Images". There's no moving involved; moving is only necessary if you're changing the file name. These logos already exist anyway: Gallery:Mario Party 2. 07:22, April 28, 2021 (EDT)

Remember to mark the old name for deletion after moving a file. Please keep what you were told in mind when you're editing; it's tiresome to have to constantly remind you of things you were reminded for previously. 06:15, May 23, 2021 (EDT)

Licenses
Make sure you're not marking every upload as a "screenshot". Many of them, like File:MP3 Gate Guy Logo.jpg, are sprites. If you made a mistake, you can change it manually by editing the page and changing " " to "  " (other template codes are found on Help:License). 21:52, April 29, 2021 (EDT)

Also, can I ask why your sprites are mostly JPGs? You can usually find PNGs of these on Spriters Resource. 22:36, April 29, 2021 (EDT)

Because you told me about the screenshot license from the previous message. The jpgs were named by the mac computer itself.--Jsylvan (talk) 23:22, April 29, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan


 * That was Keyblade Master who said to mark the minigame icons as screenshots, but I corrected him and said that those are actually sprites as you initially marked them. Either way, you should be using your best judgement on which license to use by telling which are screenshots and which are sprites. Board logos are not screenshots.


 * How are you getting your images and saving them to your computer? 00:03, April 30, 2021 (EDT)


 * I'd appreciate a response from that last question. It seems obvious you're getting sprites from Spriters Resource, which has png images, but you're saving them as jpg. Can you explain your process (e.g. how you downloaded them from the website, what program you used to crop)? 01:11, May 20, 2021 (EDT)

Titles
Make sure you're italicising game titles when naming them on articles, per Manual of Style (e.g. Mario Party 3 should be formatted as Mario Party 3).

Also, please try to give your file names more professional titles next time. Instead of something like "File:Bowser's gonna battle Mario! PM.jpg", just write "File:Mario Bowser battle PM.jpg". 06:25, May 2, 2021 (EDT)
 * Also also, you need to use the images you upload by adding them to galleries. They will go unused otherwise, just categorizing them is not enough. 11:31, May 2, 2021 (EDT)

The latter also applies to image captions. Please give the image more professional captions, not something like "Welcome to Mario Party!" 22:17, May 2, 2021 (EDT)

You're still uploading a bunch of files without using them. Either use them as soon as they're uploaded or slow down with the uploads and plan out where you intend to use them before uploading. 08:58, May 5, 2021 (EDT)

I know what I was doing, I just had to do something when I was gone.


 * Then you should upload when you have time to add them somewhere or remember to do it later. 00:32, May 6, 2021 (EDT)

Images
Hey, how are you capturing these images? PNG screenshots are preferable over JPG, and they should be native res. See User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox for a tutorial. 17:13, May 5, 2021 (EDT)

Because when I placed the captured images on the wallpaper of the Mac computer, the file name occasionally said so. Maybe it's due to the quality. I don't know how that works. But it's true.--Jsylvan (talk) 17:24, May 5, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

I like to tell you that about the Paper Mario partner portraits are not all the same, they can be flat. The Eldstar sprite is supposed to have his arms raised to match the others.--Jsylvan (talk) 20:34, May 5, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Consecutive edits
Please avoid this. Use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save changes" button next time; this lets you see what the edit looks like before saving them and prevents flooding the history page with edits. 01:04, May 6, 2021 (EDT)

Re-adding edits
If you notice something you edited that got removed, don't simply add the edit back in. It was likely removed for a reason, so check the article's history page (the "history" tab at the top of the page) first, as whoever removed it may have left a reason for it. As I said further down before your edits, this image doesn't show much of Petal Meadows itself and is more focused on Koops, so it doesn't really fit on the page. All of the story-based info on Koops and Koopie Pie is also more relevant to the characters' pages (which Archivist Toadette mentioned), not the location's page. Remember to keep the information on topic; the section is about the layout of the areas themselves. Also, please stop changing "When Mario and Goombella run across the grass, they hear a roar as Hooktail flies above them." to past tense; I already informed you that it should be present tense.

Finally, the file you uploaded "File:PetalMeadows.webp" already exists as File:Introduction Of Petal Meadows.jpg, which you yourself uploaded but didn't use. This is why you need to use your files. 07:39, May 7, 2021 (EDT)

The "Hooktail Castle" infobox image is still requested to become a png.--Jsylvan (talk) 11:44, May 7, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

The Hooktail Castle front doors did not had a lock in the game. Did you knew that?
 * You're right about that, I'm bringing it to attention here. 21:14, May 8, 2021 (EDT)

Still, the Hooktail Castle never had a lock. Is this from the early 2004 game of Paper Mario 2?--Jsylvan (talk)Jsylvan

Manual of Style - You're still occasionally using past tense ("Mario was walking", "players ran", "joined Mario"). Stick to present tense. 08:03, January 19, 2022 (EST)

Captions
Please stop using captions like "Koops shoots at a switch!" for images as I informed you above. Use more professional captions.

I also suggest looking through Special:UnusedFiles. You still have a bunch of images there you haven't used yet. 06:00, May 16, 2021 (EDT)

The article is still under construction.--Jsylvan (talk) 22:23, May 17, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

The PMTTYD english logo should be a png. It's been 8 years later.--Jsylvan (talk) 01:00, May 18, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan to User:Mario_jc

PMTTYD Logo.jpg
The logo could be a png. It's been 8 years. What about the in-game logo like the previous game?--Jsylvan (talk) 20:35, May 23, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan to User:Mario jc

It was no in-game logo, it was a png.

That's not a priority. The png may have been transparent but it comes down to image quality, and the jpg is much larger. If a png of the same quality happens to come along, then we'll use that. The in-game logo is acceptable for Paper Mario 64 because it looks different from the original, unlike TTYD which is the same one added into the game. 22:48, May 23, 2021 (EDT)

Well, it always have good quality. The jpg english version just doesn't match the other transparent language images.--Jsylvan (talk) 22:52, May 23, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
 * The image doesn't need to be transparent. The jpg is just of better quality, and the png is of less with no difference otherwise. 22:55, May 23, 2021 (EDT)

I just meant the background and the similarity. The png has the same quality of the game's cover. Please bring the png logo back--Jsylvan (talk) 22:57, May 23, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
 * It's literally the same as the jpg, just smaller, so no. 23:39, May 23, 2021 (EDT)

What did I do after the logo image talk? I had to do a little thinking at home before I get back! This is all a mistake!--Jsylvan (talk) 01:45, May 24, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

This edit here, after you were already told that any story-related details related to the characters go on the characters' pages, and after a similar edit on the same page that was reverted already. It wasn't this edit alone, but it was the last straw following my last post here and a long string of edits that have constantly gone against things you were notified for previously, including not marking file redirects for deletion addressed in said post, but also the image captions, not previewing edits, and especially not handling your uploads properly and still forgetting to use some of them (like File:Nintendo Logo MP1.jpg, File:Green Ninjakoopa Tattled.jpg) after I advised you to slow down and do a few images at a time or plan out your image placement before making excessive uploads. As I mentioned on the block log, you should take this time to review every rule covered on your talk page, and thoroughly. 06:21, May 24, 2021 (EDT)

It can't be a big deal because it was all true in those games even when I played them.--Jsylvan (talk) 13:17, May 24, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

I always use the images all the time, I just got to planned this before I react and for when I take breaks at home.--Jsylvan (talk) 13:20, May 24, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
 * Mario jc is not saying that what you're adding is false information, he's saying that it's not necessary to fill in every single minor detail about the plot. 07:32, May 25, 2021 (EDT)

What did I do? I just fixed the mistakes and I didn't edit an article! I also reviewed.I always make fix my mistakes, and learned my lessons I'm sorry!--Jsylvan (talk) 03:21, June 7, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan


 * Your edits just today should have been an indication. You moved files without changing their names on articles and marking the old names for deletion. It was even one of the last pointed-to posts. 08:02, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

I even reviewed the image message and I want to prove it to you that I am just trying new things and make things right and this would've happened from the start of "baseball dream" things of Mario Party 5. Now I always know how vital a wiki can be for you and I'm telling what I feel and give good experience for the future and review my apology. So please give me one chance? Please accept my apologies about the PMTTYD logo incident and the File:PetalMeadows.webp and the aboutfile warning parts. Just trying to be necessary.--Jsylvan (talk) 03:37, June 7, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan to Mario JC.

I knew I had to fix that but I got a little tired by that maybe it must've been do to sleepiness.--Jsylvan (talk) 09:20, June 7, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Mario JC, I was trying to change the files their names, and I also read and try to figure out what it means. I have no idea how the old file name got into the file usage part I tried to figure out that I need help. I even made a good reason to N64 Mario Party series Nintendo logo screen--Jsylvan (talk) 15:29, June 7, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

What are you talking about? I didn't do anything. I mean how are you so sure? I didn't make up something.--Jsylvan (talk) 15:45, June 18, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
 * If you're referring to the whole sockpuppet thing, then I can explain. Staff members can check IP addresses of users to see if there are multiple accounts on that IP, and we do that everytime a new account gets created. I did so with, which shared the same IP as your account, and doing that while blocked warrants an extension of the block. If another account gets created during the block period, the block will become permenant. 15:55, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

Do you see how the address is different somehow? Different names?

It certainly wasn't from this computer on the desk.--Jsylvan (talk) 16:01, June 18, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

It was no sockpuppet!--Jsylvan (talk) 19:12, June 18, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
 * Device and software matches between the two accounts are very similar to each other. 19:27, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

Did that other user just edit or reviewed his/her side?


 * You share the same IP address with this account, meaning it was created by someone on the same router. It can't have been a dynamic IP because it's been tied with your account from the start. 22:11, June 19, 2021 (EDT)

Okay, thanks, I learned my lessons through the past months maybe I'll get my editing skills to behave, including my typing and uploading on images.--Jsylvan (talk) 12:46, December 20, 2021 (EST)Jsylvan
 * Speaking of which, I replaced a bunch of your uploads with my uploads. There are ways to obtain high quality screenshots, but at the very least, for screenshots/sprites/textures/renders, please upload as a PNG. It makes maintenance a lot easier so things don't need to be tagged with and a sysop to go through the category and perform deletes. -- 15:59, December 21, 2021 (EST)

That's nice. The images may get more quality from my computer's wallpaper, I will bring in number files to the gallery, I promise.--Jsylvan (talk) 16:09, December 21, 2021 (EST)Jsylvan

Image Format
While I do appreciate your uploads, it bothers me that they're in the jpg format rather than the preferred png format, especially since most of your uploads are game sprites and screenshots. Is there any way you can upload them as pngs instead? - RHG1951 (talk) 12:47, December 29, 2021 (EST)


 * No, I couldn't find a better way to have better quality for them. They were pngs because the files were too big on the wallpaper, then I have to edit them, after I edit them I placed them back on the wallpaper and they become jpgs, sorry. I don't even know if there's a website for make quality and pngs.--Jsylvan (talk) 12:54, December 29, 2021 (EST)Jsylvan
 * We don't use websites to convert to preferred file formats. The image, when created and uploaded here by other users, should already be in the preferred format without 3rd party program or website converting in almost all cases. It looks like you are using YouTube videos or similar as a source. Not ideal due to wildly varying quality standards and completely avoidable (click). We do have methods to obtain high quality screenshots or asset rips, but you seem to be dismissing or ignoring them. Maybe your device doesn't support the recommendations. -- 09:43, December 30, 2021 (EST)

I've got a png now.--Jsylvan (talk) 13:29, December 29, 2021 (EST)Jsylvan
 * PNG is just an image format that happens to be perfect for preserving high (lossless) quality. It isn't responsible for higher quality. If you save a poor quality image in PNG format, it will remain that way until resampled. The reason for the requested PNG is it makes editing easier and allows new versions to be uploaded with ease. It's a file history thing if you scroll down far enough. Upload a new version of this file -- 22:49, December 29, 2021 (EST)


 * Copy that.--Jsylvan (talk) 23:12, December 29, 2021 (EST)Jsylvan

Mario Party 6 stuff
Seems like there's a gallery from Mario Party 6 that's still in jpg and without the alpha channel. Hope you can reupload them when you have the time! If you're having trouble getting pngs of them, then I really suggest using a more advanced image editing application like Paint.net or GIMP. 15:43, January 23, 2022 (EST)
