Hey, I get you were trying to test something with transclusion, but [[Template:Test template | Hey, I get you were trying to test something with transclusion, but [[Template:Test template delete|making a template just for it to be deleted]] is something you shouldn't do. If you need to test transclusion with something, you can use one of your subpages and transclude that, but creating a test template is just unnecessary. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:08, 30 March 2018 (EDT) | ||
:Yeah, no, you don't create something just for it to be deleted. That just creates extra work and is, again, unnecessary.

:Ah, I didn't know that widescreen made a difference for internal resolution frame dumps. I have changed the resolution to force 4:3 and redid the screenshot once again. Is it good? {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 18:59, May 7, 2019 (EDT) | |||

I'm trying to take ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' screenshots, but it's forced to 640x524. Stretching the window doesn't change this. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 20:54, May 7, 2019 (EDT) | |||
:Thank you for solving my ''Mario Party 7'' problem. As for ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', should I keep taking screenshots of the game with the letterboxing? Should I crop out the black bars? {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 21:13, May 7, 2019 (EDT) | |||

[[:File:SMG Beach Bowl Galaxy Heavenly Beach Planet.png|You can't see the ocean floor in this image]], but [[:File:Beach BowlGbg.jpg|you can here]]. I remember being able to see through the water, so is the first an emulator glitch? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:29, May 10, 2019 (EDT) | |||

Hi, would you mind applying PNG Monstrous to [[:File:Smiley Bomb.png]]? The reason I ask is because there was a 'Shroom Spotlight for it about seven-and-a-half months ago. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 13:27, May 20, 2019 (EDT) | |||

== Image metadata == | |||
Hello, I wrote a draft in [[User talk:Supermariofan67/Sandbox2#Image color-correction documentation|my sandbox]] for a help/policy page to explain the technical details of PNG color metadata and optimization as part of {{User|Trig Jegman}}'s [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 55#New Template:Gamma Image|recent proposal]].

== Noki Image Quality == | |||
Yesterday I created [[Gallery:Noki|a Gallery for the Noki Page]] and added several screenshots of the different NPC variations from ''Super Mario Sunshine'', however I've been a bit worried with my work since all my screenshots come from a capture card.
