Currently not autoconfirmed

Sigh... The only pages I can create are talk pages. I have to make 5 edits and wait 4 days to become autoconfirmed. --Gizmocat444 (talk) 18:42, 23 November 2014 (EST)

Well, it's not going to take too long. Just make good edits, ask questions if you need help on anything, and it won't take long. Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:50, 23 November 2014 (EST)
Yeah, I know, your edits are good-faith, so don't worry. Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:54, 23 November 2014 (EST)
You're welcome. :) Also, it's not necessarily to create a new section every time you reply in my talk page. Just edit the existing section so there isn't a whole lot of headers.

Yes, it's good edits. But a good rule of thumb is refrain from leaving messages on vandal talk pages. Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:38, 23 November 2014 (EST)

Hey, can you stop conversing with banned accounts? Thanks. BabyLuigiFire.png Ray Trace(T|C) 19:33, 23 November 2014 (EST)

Admin

How do I become an admin? --Gizmocat444 (talk) 20:34, 27 November 2014 (EST)

Look here: http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:FAQ#How_do_I_become_an_admin.3F , follow these rules for a pretty long time and you will become one. ~~ Boo4761
Not necessarily (they're just general guidelines anyhow), and it's not like being a Patroller is so glamorous and all. Ultimately, it's just people trusting your judgement and giving you a bigger toolset. As they said, "Please note that fulfilling these criteria does not automatically make you a sysop or a patroller. It will, however, make you a better user." Icon showing how many lives Mario has left. From Super Mario 64 DS. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:39, 30 November 2014 (EST)

Patrol

How do I become a patroller? --Gizmocat444 (talk) 18:41, 3 December 2014 (EST)

Same as admin (follow the link in the above section). But your constant messaging, as well as your persistent creation of blocked user talkpages, is becoming bothersome. If you continue, you may get warning templates placed here. River Piranha (talk) 06:25, 6 December 2014 (EST)

Aboutfile

Hello, Gizmocat444. 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.

Please pay attention to correctly formatting the aboutfile template in the future. Thanks. River Piranha (talk) 14:14, 7 December 2014 (EST)

Um, those images he uploaded were personal images, since I had no idea where he would put them in mainspace, so Gizmocat does not deserve this, but if he is reading this, please remember to put the personal image tag on those images. The back button is right up there.
