Two Reminders

Hello, Drybones345. 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, Drybones345. 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.

Several things were not handled properly with File:WWSM GW Audience.jpg

  • Bad file name. It was changed for you by moving the file.
  • {{aboutfile}} was not filled out.
  • The license was not specified.
  • The image was not categorized correctly.
  • The page that links to the image, frame wasn't appropriate to use and it was in a bad spot. I changed it to thumb and changed it to appear on the right instead.

I hope this gives you better direction what we want from you if you decide to upload images. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:10, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

You did the same things again, but with File:WWMPG Mr GW.jpg. Also, there were some edit conflicts on Mr. Game & Watch so I corrected those.

You ignored my previous two requests about this issue, with File:ListenToTheDoctor.jpg missing Category:WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$! Images, but you did use thumb instead of frame. AfternoonLight (talk) had to rename the file while I had to fix the content. Do this one more time, I will get a sysop involved. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 13:57, 27 September 2016 (EDT)
