Italics
When naming titles for games, movies etc. please remember to write the full title and italicise them with two apostrophes before and after the title (e.g., not  ). 21:42, 17 May 2018 (EDT)

vibe
Vibe is lowercase, as per in game and the manual. 18:08, 22 May 2018 (EDT)

Just to clarify, the game and manual refers to the word "vibe" generically in lowercase practically everywhere unless it's part of a name like Vibe Island. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:08, 22 May 2018 (EDT)

Image categories
Hello! When uploading images, please always include a game-related image category, such as Category:Wario World Images. Thanks! -- 22:45, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

Also that's not orange, that's orangish yellow. More of an ochre. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:46, 5 June 2018 (EDT)
 * To be clear, you have to replace the with , as the brackets are different.  23:11, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

Moving pages
You can change the page's title by clicking the "move" tab at the top of the page. 08:44, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

A few things
22:34, 13 June 2018 (EDT)
 * When uploading images, they should be categorized under a game's image category, not its base category. For example, images from Wario World go under Category:Wario World Images, not Category:Wario World.
 * You have a bad habit of writing inconsistently. For instance, on List of Gem-Bodied Creature locations, you wrote "Gem-Bodied Creature", "gem-bodied creature", and "gem bodied creature". There is only one correct way to write it; there is no reason why you should keep changing how you write it throughout an article.
 * You used the template to change the title of that same article. While an article titled "List of Gem-Bodied Creatures in Wario World" would need such a template, you should use the move button so it actually has that title.
 * I question the necessity of that article in general, given that there are only 9 Gem-Bodied Creatures in the game, and I really don't think we need a whole article to list their locations as opposed to just having that on the Gem-Bodied Creature article.

File deletion
Hello. When marking files for deletion, instead of simply saying "other files exist", it's a good idea to specify the replacement files in question in the notice, so we know there's reason for deleting them.

Also, please remember to italicise titles and name them correctly (with the correct punctuation) as I mentioned above. It's an important guideline, and repeatedly forgetting to follow this may lead to a reminder. 06:35, 6 July 2018 (EDT)
 * In above to that, thanks for trying to help clear out the unused images category. However, do try to find a place they'll fit in first. There were a couple of instances where an image you marked for deletion I was able to easily find a place for. 12:41, 16 August 2018 (EDT)

Please remember JC's comment above. Placing a link to the replacement/original helps save time so we don't have to track down why it's marked for deletion. Also, be sure you corrected every link to the new file, noticed you've missed some sometimes. 11:56, April 18, 2019 (EDT)

Rename suggestion
I'm not sure what your goal is tagging images to be moved to the lowercase extension, Image use policy says they should anyway. So just the quality template suggesting a png upload will do. 10:59, 10 January 2019 (EST)
 * As seen here you are tagging images to be moved to the lowercase extension, which is unnecessary as the policy supports it and thus a discussion is not needed and as you are autoconfirmed you can move images yourself, by clicking the Move tab on the top of the screen on the image's page. Thanks for your understanding. 08:29, 12 January 2019 (EST)

Before marking the old name for deletion, please check to see it's clear of every page linking to it, as adding the deletion template breaks the redirect and leaves a broken link on the pages. Adding the deletion notice below the "#REDIRECT" text fixes this, however, but the old links should be taken care of first anyway. 20:25, 14 January 2019 (EST)


 * Also, don't do this. 20:28, 14 January 2019 (EST)

oh damn I keep forgetting about my god->nick cage chrome extention. My apologies.


 * That's okay, sorry for thinking that was your doing, had no idea such an extension was a thing. 20:54, 14 January 2019 (EST)

Why would that be a .gif
In 2007, the wiki didn't really have as many rules, of course. Also, it may have been a .gif in the source. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:46, 16 January 2019 (EST)

Wario Land 2
There is no reason to change WL2 in files to Wario Land 2, as it's not a shared abbreviation. It just takes up more space. Besides, the name is parsed Wario Land II. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2019 (EST)

there was, actually. All of the treasure files were identically named for the levels, with the exception of the file extention. -Trig
 * Then you should have changed the name for the treasure ones by adding "treasure" to the title, not unabridging the abbreviation. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:56, 17 January 2019 (EST)

JPGs
Just because an image is a JPG, that doesn't automatically qualify it as needing to be reuploaded as a PNG. This image, this image, and this image as examples are just fine as they are. If a PNG version of them comes up, then great! But if there's nothing wrong with the quality, there's no reason to tag them. 17:01, 17 January 2019 (EST)
 * Please stop marking jpgs with unless they are actually low-quality as Alex95 has already told you.  20:52, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * I like PNG over JPEG or GIF, but in some cases, JPEG is fine for things like photographs and scans. There is nothing wrong with JPEG, with the exception to game screenshots, sprites, textures, 3D renders, and maps. Then prefer PNG over JPEG. I'm no moderator. I just have a lot of experience in this (see the comments as well). See here. The only exception I can really make is Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch screenshots. Nintendo just creates JPEGs in those cases when you play a game and navigate to the browser. -- 11:58, April 18, 2019 (EDT)

Delete tags
Dont put a delete tag below a redirect, else it doesnt work. nstead, put it above the redirect Results May Vary (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2019 (EST)

Before marking the old name for deletion, please check to see it's clear of every page linking to it, as adding the deletion template breaks the redirect and leaves a broken link on the pages. Adding the deletion notice below the "#REDIRECT" text fixes this, however, but the old links should be taken care of first anyway. SMB Smallmario.png Mario JC 20:25, 14 January 2019

hmmmmmmmmmmm Trig
 * Fix links first, then tag for deletion over the redirect. Results May Vary (talk) 19:49, 17 January 2019 (EST)
 * Placing below the redirect ensures it doesn't break in case other pages still link to it, but yes, as Results May Vary said, you should fix the links before tagging them for deletion anyway. I even said that in the statement you bolded. I'm not "yelling" at you, I'm just telling you the correct method of doing things.  20:44, 17 January 2019 (EST)

Impersonation
As seen here you altered another user's comment and impersonated Mario JC. Unless you are fixing code, please do not alter other user's comments and never impersonate another user or you will face consequences. Thanks for your understanding. 19:55, 17 January 2019 (EST)


 * He was quoting me, not impersonating me. 20:47, 17 January 2019 (EST)

Moving Files
Just a tip. Be sure to check what links here (left panel under tools ) for each file redirect you leave behind ( and the example moved image). The main file usage header doesn't list everything. -- 12:36, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think they're moving all the Super Mario World images first, and then doing a mass fix on the main and gallery pages. 12:38, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Alex is correct. I do ALL of the mainpage SMW and gallery changes at the same time. Trig Jegman - 12:40, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * I know this process is tedious, but it just makes me think to use Pywikibot. I don't see any script that moves a page without leaving a redirect  AND  modifies all affected pages. I think a very specific script needs to be created. is a special bot account that will be hidden in Special:RecentChanges. -- 12:43, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Image redirects shouldn't stay, btw. I can fix 'Shroom and user sigs that are transcluded on multiple pages. 12:52, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'll let you manage those since you have the power. Will indicate here on out. Trig - 12:54, April 18, 2019 (EDT)
