Signing
Hello, please remember to sign any comments you make on talk pages with ~ at the end. 07:22, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

Please do not post forum talk on wiki discussion pages like you did on Talk:Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. If you want to chat about certain games, go to our forums. You're also still not signing your comments; please remember to do so or it's hard for users to know who posted it. 21:19, January 11, 2021 (EST)
 * The only sort of discussion that is allowed on talk pages is what to do with the article itself.

I'm sorry. I still don't know all the rules of the wiki, and I'm really trying to get used to them. Also, when you said I still needed to sign, are you referring to the SM3DW+BF talk page or the list of games talk page? Because I did sign the edits on the latter, and I signed at the end of this edit. Apart from the point, I'm really sorry, please take into account I've only been active for a short amount of time. I will try to stick to the wiki's rules in the future. Wait, actually, for some reason my edit signs say Eastern time, but I live in California, and haven't been out of state in years. --JacobH.5840 (talk) 22:17, January 11, 2021 (EST)


 * I was referring to the former, yes, but it looked like you just forgot that one time and I didn't notice you did sign in the latter, so that's why I crossed out my comment, sorry about that. 22:20, January 11, 2021 (EST)

Images
I realize you uploaded images of Flash games, but whatever is the closest game counterpart will do. You also need to pick a licensing template from the drop-down menu when uploading, in this case being game screenshot. Take a look back at the images you uploaded to see how they've been edited. 15:10, June 4, 2021 (EDT)
 * How do I change the license of the images once I've uploaded them? Also, when you say edited, do you mean edit the license or the image directly. If the latter is the case, then none of those images are edited. They are all raw screenshots. --JacobH.5840 (talk) 15:25, June 4, 2021 (EDT)
 * You can change the license after uploading by simply editing it in, like I did to the images, for example:

Licensing

 * The images themselves are not edited, only their information. 15:37, June 4, 2021 (EDT)

Ah ok. But how do I change them now that they're uploaded? Sorry. Forgot to sign. --JacobH.5840 (talk) 16:25, June 4, 2021 (EDT)

RE: Help in making a page
Hey, good to see you got your account back. Everything essential in a new article is covered in Manual of Style, but another way to get an idea for how the article should look is to look at other, similar articles (you can look at some of the articles on Category:Browser Games, like Superstar Shootout). Looking at that and going into detail:


 * Because it's a game, the name should be italicised (Yoshi's Egg Toss), and  is placed at the top.
 * The name in the first sentence is bolded (Yoshi's Egg Toss). The first sentences of the article usually provide general information about the game.
 * After that, you describe the game in detail; this can be a new paragraph, or better, create a "Gameplay" section by adding a header and the information under it. If the game is much more large-scale like Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze, you can even create more sections like "Levels", "Items" etc. If you have a lot of images, you can include a "Gallery" section (Help:Gallery might help), and if you want, you can include the gameplay video's URL under an "External links" section.
 * An infobox (the red box on the right side) is useful for highlighting some of the key details in one place, so that's something that would be worth including.
 * Finally, the article needs navigation templates and categories. As it's related to Yoshi's Island DS and it's a browser game, these go at the bottom:
