Edits

Hey, when you writing out information make sure to follow our writing guidelines, specifically capitalising proper nouns like Donkey Kong. Also, in regards to Hammer Bro., you missed out the ending reference, hence why the information disappeared. In case something similar happens again and you can't figure why, ask another experienced user to help rather than removing the content that's disappeared. Thanks. Yoshi876 (talk)

To add, please remember to add a space before every new sentence. K.K. Slider costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:02, 29 June 2018 (EDT)

Image categories

Hello, Doomhiker. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:

Images Audio/video files

When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use:

[[Category:Super Mario World images]]
or
[[Category:Super Mario World media files]]

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

When categorising images, {{uncategorized}} must be replaced with a category link, like [[Category:Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Images]], not {{Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}. Square brackets link to pages (e.g. [[Papercraft]] generates Papercraft), not curly brackets (e.g. {{Papercraft}}), which transcludes the page instead. K.K.

Spelling

Hi, we use American spelling standards on this wiki; as such, words like "colour" should be written as "color." Thank you, and continue editing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:16, 23 August 2018 (EDT)

RE:help

Upload the flipped image here, download it, and upload it to the wiki. Contact me on my talk page or an admin if you still have any questions or problems. Bramblecloud.jpgBramblecloud 17:01, 9 September 2018 (EDT)

Also, sign your posts with ~~~~. Thanks! Bramblecloud.jpgBramblecloud 17:05, 9 September 2018 (EDT)
Or you could use an image editing program, like simple Paint. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:09, 9 September 2018 (EDT)

Sending this out early just to make sure the message goes out: If possible, please somehow make your section Halloweeny! Luigi's Mansion, Boos, whatever you can muster to give Critic Corner some spooky vibes :boo: - Hypnotoad (T|C) HypnotoadSig.gif 00:25, 29 September 2018 (EDT)

Re: Minor Questions

Hey there! So for images not on the wiki, still format them within your section as if they were the way you want it(i.e. File.Doomhiker.png). Don't upload them to the wiki, but when you send in your section to your team director, provide the images via URL from an image-hosting site (such as Imgur) and label them if you have more than one. When the 'Shroom releases, I upload all of the images and then it looks as you intend it. I hope that answers your question. Feel free to message me if you need help with anything else.

Image extensions

Hello! Thank you for your recent uploads and contributions. Just wanted to let you know that, per policy, the extension at the end of the filename should be lowercase rather than uppercase (for example, .png or .jpg instead of .PNG or .JPG).
