MarioWiki:Image Maps
Image Maps are images where different parts of the image link to different pages (as opposed to the entire image being a link to a single destination). For example, Template:Bowsermap is a map of Bowser's body from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, in which every area of the body links to the article corresponding to that area. Similarly, Template:SMRPGmap links to the areas that are visited in Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars, all of which are pictured on the map. The purpose of Image Maps are to allow for easier navigation between areas in a game, as they are visual, rather than name-based. This policy page outlines standards that must be followed when creating a Image Maps template.
Rules
- The Image must be a rip from the game (like this), or an official map artwork (like this).
- Creating Image Maps with less than 8 links is discouraged.
- A Map Image's height or width in article must never exceed 400 pixels.
- The Map Image's width in the infobox must never exceed 300 pixels
- Creating an Image Map template for a Select level screens is unnecessary and discouraged.
Creating an Image Map
- First thing is specify the image, upload one if none exists.
- Specify the name of the template that will contain the Image Map, The name must contain the name if the game plus additional 'map' at the end.
- Start creating the template, If you cannot specify the coordinates, you could use online tools such as this.
- Once Done, preview the template and check it appear correctly, and that links works (press CTRL while clicking on the map, to open on another window, and to keep the current page).
- If every things works correctly save the template, and start adding it to articles.
MarioWiki:Quotes
Quotes are ex-supages given to games that feature enough meaningful and/or notable quotes to warrant a separate page. If the game got few quotes which can be included in the game's article without creating an excessively long quotes section, a separate page is unnecessary. This policy page outlines standards that must be followed when creating a gallery sub-page.
When a quote is meaningful or notable
A meaningful is a full sentence of character's speech. Not like "Congratulation" quote said by most characters. A notable quote is a quote which is famous. Mostly notable quote is "Mamma Mia!" said by most plumbers in the Mario series, which isn't classed as a meaningful quote, but is classed as a notable quote. "I have FURY" is also a notable quote.
Organizing
The quotes sections are sorted by alphabetical order.
