Image Category Reminder
A few of your uploads have been neglecting categorization. -- 23:56, 20 December 2016 (EST)
 * Yes, was 's idea and I created it. The reminder I gave you should give you a good place to start in the future instead of solely relying on the uncategorized template. The idea is for you to get more familiar with our website's inner workings. -- 16:31, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Wii U Screenshot Uploads
Check this out because you can submit 1280x720 screenshots of live Wii U gameplay this way! No need to rely on YouTube videos (very common). Only downside is that it is JPEG. Don't convert to PNG. That doesn't do anything but bloat the file size. Quality doesn't increase. -- 23:59, 20 December 2016 (EST)
 * @Wildgoosespeeder It increases the quality of MediaWiki-generated thumbnails. -- 01:55, 21 December 2016 (EST)
 * Different sampling algorithms for reduction. The source image is likely flawed, similar to JPEG to PNG conversions (MPEG or other lossy formats that generated the frame being screenshot to PNG in this case). -- 16:29, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Signature
I see that your signature ( ~ ) is inserting raw code instead of transcluding it ( produces ). The page exists, but something isn't set up right. Please verify here to make sure your Special:Preferences are set up correctly. -- 16:17, 21 December 2016 (EST)
 * I think so. Just keep using ~ and verify the code after you commit your edit. -- 17:47, 21 December 2016 (EST)

FYI, your sig currently breaches the sigbox. Maybe shrink Toadette down a bit or replace it.

 * It wasn't a major problem, so it didn't seem like you needed a warning. You had just fixed an earlier issue, anyway, so I wasn't going to give you another one.  18:46, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Thanks For Working On Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Pages
Thanks for getting around to creating missing articles for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. There is one in particular I wanted to see created and that is Poison Canal Cannon Run. You don't even need to upload an image for it. It already exists. When you can, make this article and use the image I am supplying. That should save you some time uploading. To save even more time with uploads, use the episode pages (Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, etc.). No need to create duplicate uploads. -- 14:46, 23 December 2016 (EST)
 * Really? That's my favorite level as well! However, I'll put it off until I reach Toadette's Tribulations. You can feel free to create some of them as well. 12:23, 24 December 2016 (EST)
 * I don't have the game so my contributions would be limited. I already tried to create the article the image I am referencing in this conversation and shot it down. -- 17:37, 24 December 2016 (EST)
 * That's all right, you can try to watch 100% playthroughs of the game. It's what I do even though I have the game. 08:54, 25 December 2016 (EST)
 * Even so, I think that my contributions would be limited. If I can experience the game instead of watching someone else play, I can contribute more because of first hand experience. -- 16:01, 27 December 2016 (EST)

I have the game, so if you ever want me to help you with it and shorten your work, I could :) ...After I work on Wario World's Shivering Mountains page and the next Sport Report, that is. 00:55, 26 December 2016 (EST)

Hey, nice job on filling out the remaining Treasure Tracker pages. --Glowsquid (talk) 12:56, 2 January 2017 (EST)

Creating talk pages of blocked users
If a user is blocked, there's no reason to create a new talk page if one doesn't exist purely to state that the user is blocked. All that does is waste space on the server. 17:17, 28 December 2016 (EST)


 * Okay, thanks very much. 17:18, 28 December 2016 (EST)
