Uploads

Hello, DandyAndy1989. 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 Company images Film images Game images Merchandise images Publication images System images Television series images Website images Company media files Film media files Game media files Merchandise media files Publication media files System media files Television series media files Website media 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.

Hello, DandyAndy1989. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common: {{game-screenshot}} - Used for game screenshots. {{game-sprite}} - Used for game sprites. {{game-3Drender}} - Used for game models. {{game-cover}} - Used for game box art. {{character-artwork}} - Used for artwork of a character. {{game-logo}} - Used for a game's logo. {{logo}} - Used for other logos. {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects. {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character. {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic. {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books. {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows. {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies. {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube. {{dvd-cover}} - Used for box art of DVDs. {{vhs-cover}} - Used for box art of VHSes. {{album-cover}} - Used for box art of music albums. {{poster}} - Used for promotional posters. {{music-sample}} - Used for music files. {{sound-clip}} - Used for sound effects. {{video-clip}} - Used for video files. When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, DandyAndy1989. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded syntax is shown below. {{aboutfile |1=Subject of the image |2=Where you found the image |3=Artist |4=Describe edits, if any |5=Other versions (use file link) }} Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line for the parameter(s) you don't use. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Other than these, I would like to notify you that a lot of the images you uploaded are duplicates. They just aren't on the page yet. List of Mario Party Superstars minigames is the only page which uses the original images.WildWario (talk) 02:59, April 1, 2022 (EDT)

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (not filling out file summaries and uploading duplicates) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Please follow the reminders above and stop uploading duplicate images when there are already existing images for the minigames on List of Mario Party Superstars minigames which you were already linked. Mario JC 10:15, April 1, 2022 (EDT)

I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get the hang of things and I didn't take categorization into consideration. I also didn't think to check that link for screenshots. From here on out, I'll just add the ones from there and put them in. But what about minigames with different layouts? Are those fine?
The preceding unsigned comment was added by DandyAndy1989 (talk).

Yes, different layouts (like with Bumper Balls) that don't have images yet are fine. Before uploading anything, though, it's best to check related galleries and categories first (Gallery:Mario Party Superstars, Category:Mario Party Superstars images, any relevant articles) in case an image already exists.

Okay then. Thank you for your warning and I am sure this will make me learn from that mistake. User:DandyAndy1989/sig

You didn't fill out the "aboutfile" template. Please fill them out when uploading or remove the entire template (though the former is recommended). You also don't need to add the Category:Game screenshots-type category when the license already takes care of that. Mario JC 11:33, April 4, 2022 (EDT)

By artist, does it mean the artist behind the game, or the artist who uploaded the image? User:DandyAndy1989/sig
