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. Mario (Gold) 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.

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)
