Image Files
Hi there. When you upload image files and put them in a gallery or on a page, the file name for an image is case sensitive. What that means is you have to capitalize letters in the file insert if there's capital letters in a file. For example, if I wanted to put CricketEatingDumplings.jpg in a file, I type exactly what the file says, which is CricketEatingDumplings.jpg. In addition, please shorten the file name from the original so that it's relevant to the file. In the wiki's image use policy, it states "When uploading a file, be sure to give it a straightforward and meaningful name, as this makes it easier to use, is better for searching purposes and looks more professional. In general, names should include the title of the game/show/etc. (or an abbreviation), what kind of image it is (profile art, screenshot, boxart, etc.), and what the image is of (i.e. the name of the character pictured, the name of a level a screenshot is taken from, something notable about the image's contents, etc.). This is not a strict standard: the order can be changed and different images may require more or less information. That being said, aiming to have those three pieces of information is ideal, but as long as a file name is accurate enough to be useful for knowing what the image is and how it could be used on the wiki, it will be allowed. For example, a name like "Screenshot-82.png" is vague and nonspecific, while "SMB screenshot - Bowser, Mario and a Podoboo.png" is too cumbersome for a file name; instead, "SMB screenshot end of 1-4.png" or "SMB Bowser screenshot.png" would both be appropriately succinct yet informative name choices." In short, instead of putting "File:---Users-aulaskids-Downloads-WhatsApp Image 2023-10-06 at 12.20.19 (1).jpg" for the image you uploaded, I would put "WWMI_ToF_Stage.jpg. I hope I helped!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the description of the file. You see this?

It's the info template for an image. 1 should be called "The Temple of Forms Stage in WarioWare: Move It!, 2 should be called "Nintendo Life Review", since I'm pretty sure the stage was only seen there.
