Uploading

Hello. Just letting you know that when uploading files, in addition to a brief description, they should be added with an image category and license, similar to how I've done it here. I would suggest using the default Special:Upload function for this instead of the text editor's upload function that you used for your recent uploads as it's easier to add the appropriate information.

• You'll find an image category through the subcategories in Category:MarioWiki images. So for a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate image, from Category:MarioWiki images, you'd find it by going to "Images by game" --> "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Images", then you simply add that as a category link to the file: [[Category:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Images]]. When you upload on Special:Upload, this should replace {{uncategorized}}.
• A license is added depending on what type of image it is. On Special:Upload, you simply select it from the "Licensing" drop-down menu. If it's a game screenshot, for example, just select "Video game screenshot". Mario JC 22:44, November 4, 2019 (EST)

In addition, if there's an image you don't need anymore, just mark it for deletion by adding {{delete}} on the file page. However, if you have a better version of an image and both images are the same file type (png, jpg etc.), you can simply use the "Upload a new version of this file" under "File history" on the existing image's page.

Now that you're using Special:Upload, please remember to follow the steps explained above next time. {{uncategorized}} must be replaced with an image category (in this case, [[Category:Mario Golf 64 Images]]); additionally, for the {{aboutfile}} part, if you're not using any parameters (like "Other versions (use file link)", just remove that entire line.

RE: Image Deletion

The source image you cropped the logo from (File:Mario Kart 64 Original Soundtrack Cover.jpg) was jpg which you saved as png, was what I meant. It's possible you did it by accident but preferably the file format should be the same as it is in the source as policy explains. Mario JC 23:08, November 5, 2019 (EST)
