Italics

When naming titles for games, movies etc. please remember to write the full title and italicise them with two apostrophes before and after the title (e.g. ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', not Toadstool Tour). Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:42, 17 May 2018 (EDT)

vibe

Vibe is lowercase, as per in game and the manual. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:08, 22 May 2018 (EDT)

Just to clarify, the game and manual refers to the word "vibe" generically in lowercase practically everywhere unless it's part of a name like Vibe Island. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:08, 22 May 2018 (EDT)

Image categories

Hello, Trig Jegman. 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.

Hello! When uploading images, please always include a game-related image category, such as Category:Wario World Images. Thanks! --A sprite of a Flame Chomp from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.TheFlameChomp (talk) 22:45, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

Also that's not orange, that's orangish yellow. More of an ochre. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:46, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

To be clear, you have to replace the {{uncategorized}} with [[Category:Wario World Images]], as the brackets are different. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 23:11, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

Moving pages

You can change the page's title by clicking the "move" tab at the top of the page. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 08:44, 11 June 2018 (EDT)

A few things

  • When uploading images, they should be categorized under a game's image category, not its base category. For example, images from Wario World go under Category:Wario World Images, not Category:Wario World.
  • You have a bad habit of writing inconsistently. For instance, on List of Gem-Bodied Creature locations, you wrote "Gem-Bodied Creature", "gem-bodied creature", and "gem bodied creature". There is only one correct way to write it; there is no reason why you should keep changing how you write it throughout an article.
  • You used the {{italic title}} template to change the title of that same article. While an article titled "List of Gem-Bodied Creatures in Wario World" would need such a template, you should use the move button so it actually has that title.
  • I question the necessity of that article in general, given that there are only 9 Gem-Bodied Creatures in the game, and I really don't think we need a whole article to list their locations as opposed to just having that on the Gem-Bodied Creature article.

File deletion

Hello. When marking files for deletion, instead of simply saying "other files exist", it's a good idea to specify the replacement files in question in the {{delete}} notice, so we know there's reason for deleting them.

Also, please remember to italicise titles and name them correctly (with the correct punctuation) as I mentioned above. It's an important guideline, and repeatedly forgetting to follow this may lead to a reminder. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:35, 6 July 2018 (EDT)

In above to that, thanks for trying to help clear out the unused images category. However, do try to find a place they'll fit in first. There were a couple of instances where an image you marked for deletion I was able to easily find a place for. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:41, 16 August 2018 (EDT)

Rename suggestion

I'm not sure what your goal is tagging images to be moved to the lowercase extension, MarioWiki:Image use policy says they should anyway. So just the quality template suggesting a png upload will do. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 10:59, 10 January 2019 (EST)

As seen here you are tagging images to be moved to the lowercase extension, which is unnecessary as the policy supports it and thus a discussion is not needed and as you are autoconfirmed you can move images yourself, by clicking the Move tab on the top of the screen on the image's page. Thanks for your understanding. Doomhiker (talk)Artwork of a Topmini from Super Mario Galaxy 08:29, 12 January 2019 (EST)

Before marking the old name for deletion, please check to see it's clear of every page linking to it, as adding the deletion template breaks the redirect and leaves a broken link on the pages. Adding the deletion notice below the "#REDIRECT" text fixes this, however, but the old links should be taken care of first anyway. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 20:25, 14 January 2019 (EST)

Also, don't do this. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 20:28, 14 January 2019 (EST)

oh damn I keep forgetting about my god->nick cage chrome extention. My apologies.

That's okay, sorry for thinking that was your doing, had no idea such an extension was a thing. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 20:54, 14 January 2019 (EST)

Why would that be a .gif

In 2007, the wiki didn't really have as many rules, of course. Also, it may have been a .gif in the source. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:46, 16 January 2019 (EST)

Wario Land 2

There is no reason to change WL2 in files to Wario Land 2, as it's not a shared abbreviation. It just takes up more space. Besides, the name is parsed Wario Land II. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2019 (EST)

there was, actually. All of the treasure files were identically named for the levels, with the exception of the file extention. -Trig

Then you should have changed the name for the treasure ones by adding "treasure" to the title, not unabridging the abbreviation. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:56, 17 January 2019 (EST)

JPGs

Just because an image is a JPG, that doesn't automatically qualify it as needing to be reuploaded as a PNG. This image, this image, and this image as examples are just fine as they are. If a PNG version of them comes up, then great! But if there's nothing wrong with the quality, there's no reason to tag them. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:01, 17 January 2019 (EST)

Delete tags

Don't put a delete tag below a redirect, else it doesn't work. Instead, put it above the redirect Results May Vary (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2019 (EST)
