FYI, your talk page isn't meant to hold your profile, it's meant for discussions with you. You should save the profile for when you're able to create your user page. 21:22, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

I was going to remove it when I am able to create my user page. Starclimber the NightWing (message) File:NightWing.png 22:42, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

RE: User page

Not sure why it says that, as the right to create discussion pages is accessible to everyone. Putting the reply here, though, so that your talk page can be created. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 16:18, 12 May 2018 (EDT)

Signature Tips

I see a few issues with you using signatures (~~~)

• Raw code. See MarioWiki:Signatures for Super Mario Wiki's general policy and Help:Signature for help how to set one up.
• Embedding the entire image instead of a thumbnail. The wiki software that Super Mario Wiki uses can generate thumbnails if you specify the dimensions. 25px for a width should be appropriate for signatures: File:NightWing.png ([[File:NightWing.png|25px]]). More markup options can be found here.

You are not in trouble. Just helping out so that way things work smoothly for you. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:21, 16 May 2018 (EDT)

Images

First of all, good catch on File:Rogueport Map.PNG! Can't believe that spelling error went unnoticed until now.

Though keep in mind that when moving images, you need to correct links that lead to it. The best way to find all these are to go the the "What links here" option on the sidebar, which will give you all current links to the page. Tip: Start looking through templates first ;) 15:50, 18 May 2018 (EDT)

I also want to take this time to say you've been editing userspace quite extensively, even before you became autoconfirmed. You've made one edit to the mainspace and one to a file other than your own, with the other ~90% of your edits being to userspace (yours and others) and MarioWiki namespace. While it is important for a community to get to know you better, do try to mix in more mainspace edits. Thanks! 16:30, 18 May 2018 (EDT)

Identifiers

While, yes, Donkey Kong is an arcade game, it's more accurate to just call it simply (game), since it's the only game named "Donkey Kong" and no further identification is needed. If you need more info on identifiers, please take a look at MarioWiki:Naming#Determining_the_identifier. 19:15, 26 May 2018 (EDT)

Image

Hello, Bramblecloud. 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, Bramblecloud. 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.

Regarding this upload, I'm not sure what your intended purpose is. If you're planning to add it to a public article or gallery, please remember to fill in {{aboutfile}} appropriately and also remove {{uncategorized}} and replace it with the appropriate game category (in this case, Category:Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Images), both of which have already been done for you. If this is meant to be a personal image showing your racing record, please tag it with {{personal-image|Starclimber the NightWing}}. More information on personal images can be found here. Mario JC 22:11, 31 May 2018 (EDT)

RE:Username change

You would go to MarioWiki:Changing username and make a new request at the bottom, following the instructions. However, you need to wait three months after your account creation date, which means you can make a request on August 12th. 00:06, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
