    Thanks, it worked. I'll be careful not to reupload the file so many times next time. Anyways, thanks again! --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 22:46, 16 January 2016 (EST)
 :You're welcome. Don't worry too much, it's a pretty common rookie mistake here, so don't be too worried. Heh, I like your name, it reminds me of my old name, LeftyGreenMario. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 23:12, 18 January 2016 (EST)
+I'm having this problem again. I've been trying to reupload a good amount of images, but replacing the file isn't working correctly. I've tried refreshing the page, but it hasn't been doing anything. Can you please help me? --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 13:25, 21 January 2017 (EST)  (EDIT:) Also, when I revert the image, the reuploaded image suddenly works correctly. But when I try to change it back to the reupload, it goes back to not working correctly.
+:I know I'm not the person you were talking to, but hitting Ctrl+F5 will reset the cache rather than just refresh the page. Try reverting to the sprite you just uploaded and try that. It usually works. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:34, 21 January 2017 (EST)
+Still doesn't work. I'll keep trying, though.. --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 15:25, 21 January 2017 (EST)
+:I decided to give it a go and try it, and it works just fine for me. The sprite now shows, but you may have to press Ctrl+F5 to see the result on your end. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:36, 21 January 2017 (EST)

 ----
 The template {{tem|uncategorized}} was a quick idea {{user|Porplemontage}} and I came up with to help us catch newly uploaded uncategorized files. The idea behind it is to not have it tag the file being uploaded (default it shows up in [[Special:Upload]] to better catch files not being categorized). I see you are now inserting the category. Just remove the template. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 23:21, 25 October 2016 (EDT)
+btw, "Images" is capitalized in the category names. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:05, 6 August 2018 (EDT)
+Hey, please recall Alex95's comment above. The "I" in "Images" must be capitalised in the category name. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 18:21, 13 February 2019 (EST)

 This image has needed to be reuploaded for a while now, so if you could fix it, that would be wonderful! --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 21:59, 16 November 2016 (EST)
+Ah, I know I didn't get back to you for quite a while, but it's pretty hard to rip from that image. It would help to have a higher quality image. I'm not sure where to get a better image, though. I don't have a DS emulator on my computer. Emulators and I don't get along, haha. {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}

 Well, I'll take your advice. But I'd like to know-- how is this hurting anything? --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 20:03, 11 December 2016 (EST)
+== Image Uploads ==
+A few times, I tagged some of your [[Special:ListFiles/{{BASEPAGENAME}}|recent images]] for deletion because they were a duplicate. You ''really'' should look for the sprites first before wasting time on creating a sprite and uploading as a new file to satisfy an article with image(s). I do that. Saves a lot of time. There are four ways to find them:
+*[[:Category:Images by game]]
+*The game article (for example, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'')
+*Most games have gallery pages (for example, [[Gallery:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]])
+*[[Bestiary]]
+Hope this helps. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 16:32, 18 January 2017 (EST)
+Replacing images is being wonky, though. I don't have a choice. --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 21:38, 19 January 2017 (EST)
+:That's only true if you are replacing images, not satisfying an article needing an image or more. I prefer the red link method when replacing images with a PNG version. See [[User talk:Porplemontage#Gallery No Red Link|here]]. As for getting an image for an article, search first with my list of places to start, then upload if the image doesn't seem to exist. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 19:41, 31 January 2017 (EST)
+== YouTube as a Source for Images ==
+Don't use YouTube. Quality varies, but doesn't beat using a real console or emulator, even at YouTube's highest settings (beyond 720p or 1080p doesn't make Wii U images better or any console for that matter), and makes maintenance harder to get good quality images uploaded. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 16:02, 15 March 2017 (EDT)
+But the images I replaced were already low quality in the first place, so it could only be improving them, right? Or is there something I simply don't understand? --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 18:36, 15 March 2017 (EDT)
+:Don't use YouTube. Simple as that. Just submit screenshots [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox#Wii U|like so]]. Once there is a practical way to clean capture screenshots from the Wii U (or an emulator reaches a level of comparable quality), it makes replacing much easier because by definition, JPEGs are lower quality. See [[MarioWiki:Image use policy]]. Technically, using YouTube isn't against MarioWiki policy, but if it were (and I wish it were), I find it on a similar level to creating stub articles, which is [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|against policy]]. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 19:09, 17 March 2017 (EDT)
+Well, I still don't fully understand, but that's alright. I'll take your word for it. Also, sidenote, has there been any issues with me and creating stub articles? I'd just like to know. --[[User:Green Mario|Green Mario]] ([[User talk:Green Mario|talk]]) 20:32, 17 March 2017 (EDT)
+:YouTube videos use encoders for the video file, likely [[Wikipedia:Moving Picture Experts Group|MPEG]]/[[Wikipedia:H.261|H.261]]/[[Wikipedia:H.262|H.262]]/[[Wikipedia:H.263|H.263]]/[[Wikipedia:H.264|H.264]]/[[Wikipedia:H.265|H.265]] or anything similar. This format is the [[Wikipedia:JPEG|JPEG]] of video files, meaning lossy quality. Very old uploads used [[Wikipedia:FLV|FLV]].

+== New version upload ==
+You can't upload a newer version of a file if they have different file extensions (.jpg, .png, etc.) It would have to be uploaded separately in that case. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:13, 14 February 2019 (EST)
+== Navigation template / categories ==
+In the future when creating a new article, remember to add a navigation template and category. The respective sections in [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]] explain more. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:24, November 10, 2019 (EST)
