Super Mario Encyclopedia

For future reference, we can't cite Super Mario Encyclopedia (the english translation) due to having names originating from the wiki, such as Soarin' Stu. It originates from the wiki. -- FanOfYoshi 03:19, 28 December 2018 (EST)

They weren't citing them, they were mentioning the SMBE naming controversy on the subject pages, which should stay on the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia and List of Mario-related controversies pages. Mario JC 03:29, 28 December 2018 (EST)

Categories

Hello, Doomdorm64. 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.

Your recent uploads were missing the proper categories. Please replace the {{uncategorized}} template with the proper category, as shown above. 11:34, 15 January 2019 (EST)

Moving files

You can simply move the file to the lowercase .png extension yourself by clicking the "move" tab at the top of the page. No need to tag it with {{rename}}. Mario JC 21:03, 16 January 2019 (EST)

Also, after moving a file, please make sure that any pages that still link to the old name (by going to Special:WhatLinksHere on the old name redirect page, found under "tools" on the left navigation pane) are edited to link to the new name, and that the old name is then marked for deletion.

Italics

Please also remember to italicise game titles. Mario JC 02:37, 17 January 2019 (EST)

Sprites

For future reference, never, ever, ever, ever, ever save a sprite as a .jpg. That absolutely destroys sprites. Save as a .png.

Furthermore, please upload singular sprites, not full sheets, and do so at their actual size. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:55, 19 January 2019 (EST)

JPG to PNG

When a file is asking for a PNG replacement, it doesn't mean "upload the JPG as a PNG". That is against policy, and the Wario World images you uploaded showed no signs of improvement in any way.

When you do upload a valid image, the links to the old image need to be replaced, as Mario jc reminded you above. This applies to both moved images and replacement images. 11:50, 20 January 2019 (EST)
