Hi, regarding your recent edit to Kamek, keep in mind that the wiki is not for speculation; rather, it's for valid, confirmed, and reliable information. Thanks! Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 21:21, 24 May 2017 (EDT) Hi, Toadette the Achiever. Thank you for fixing my mistake. I'm new here and didn't recognize that I made that mistake. Anyway, thank you for fixing it.

Images

Hello, B ron 3000. 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 coding 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 of the variable(s) you don't use. If you do not wish to use the template at all, then it is acceptable to simply remove it before you upload the file. 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.

Hello, B ron 3000. 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.

Your recent images were missing the Category:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Images category. Please remember to include the necessary categories when uploading in the future. As for {{aboutfile}}, if you don't wish to fill it out, you can just remove it. Thanks. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 03:05, 28 May 2017 (EDT)

I see you keep wanting to use {{}} instead of [[]]. The difference between the two markups is crucial to making things work smoothly. {{}} means "transclusion". [[]] means "link to". We usually use transclusions for templates, such as {{aboutfile}} or {{promophoto}}. Categories use [[]], which is a special kind of link, being parsed by MediaWiki. That markup can be used to embed files. Also, : can override embeds and categorization, like with the category Category:Merchandise Images you forgot to place in File:Monopoly gamer.png. Hope this clarifies markup confusion. To practice, go to MarioWiki:Sandbox. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 18:46, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

Italics

Please remember to italicize game titles. This is done by typing two apostrophes on both sides of the name; for example ''Mario Kart 8'' becomes Mario Kart 8. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:01, 28 May 2017 (EDT)

Reminder

Please stop improperly uploading images on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

You were told by a wiki admin previously to properly use {{aboutfile}} and to categorize images when you upload them, yet you didn't do either in your last two uploads. If you're confused on how to use them, don't be afraid to ask, but it is not a good idea to exclude them completely. I've fixed them for you, but in the future, please remember this. Thanks.

Construction template

Hello. You're user page is showing in the articles under construction category. If you want to continue using the template, please copy the coding from the {{construction}} template and paste it onto your user page to avoid this. Otherwise, the template will have to be removed. Thanks. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:59, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

Re:Just a thank you

No problem. I'm still uploading stuff from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, so I'm not entirely done with my job yet. BabyLuigiFire.png Ray Trace(T|C) 22:40, 5 August 2017 (EDT)

Signature

A quick tip: You can create your own signature page (User:B ron 3000/sig) where you can keep the code for your signature, then change your preferences accordingly for when you sign with ~~~~. However, whether you choose to or not, I should let you know that your signature is too big, and as per policy should fit in this box:

If you'd like to keep this image, you can scale down its size, as shown below. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 02:51, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

<span style="color:green">[[User:B ron 3000|'''B ron''']] [[User talk: B ron 3000|'''3000''']]</span> [[File:MP9 Luigi Icon.png|x35px]]

That's fine. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 02:41, 7 August 2017 (EDT)

New article

When starting a new article, it's best that you put as much effort to it as possible with a sufficient amount of information right off the bat, rather than simply starting a page with a few sentences and marking it as "under construction"; otherwise, your page will be considered a new stub and marked for deletion. Additionally, remember to follow the Manual of Style, which includes bolding the subject title, italicising game titles (as you've already been reminded of before), categorising, etc. I let you off for now and decided not to delete the page as soon as I saw it (since others were making edits to it), but please try to remember this for next time.

Infobox

Hey, we don't change the infobox information until the game is officially released. Just a heads up. BabyLuigiFire.png Ray Trace(T|C) 14:35, 2 June 2018 (EDT)
