Uploads

Hello, Darth Koopa 66. 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, Darth Koopa 66. 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, Darth Koopa 66. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common:

  • {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects.
  • {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character.
  • {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic.
  • {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books.
  • {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows.
  • {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies.
  • {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube.

When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}.

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please remember the above, and also give your file names a better title than leaving "alb.5.png", for example. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:50, February 5, 2021 (EST)

Remember to fill in the aboutfile summary properly before uploading. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:13, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

Warning

Warning.svg
This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (not filling in {{aboutfile}} and categorising files) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site.
If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

You were reminded twice already; please remember to fill in the {{aboutfile}} template if you're using it and categorise files instead of leaving the summary unfilled next time. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 10:17, August 20, 2021 (EDT)

Last warning

Lastwarn.svg
This is your last warning. The next time you break the rules in any way, you will be blocked from editing the Super Mario Wiki.
If you feel this last warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

You still aren't doing this. Please go over the above reminders again and start filling out/removing the aboutfile templates and adding the proper categories. If you need help figuring this out, please let us know. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:11, September 7, 2021 (EDT)

Game titles

Per the Manual of Style, remember to italicise game titles when naming them (WarioWare: Get It Together! should be formatted as WarioWare: Get It Together!). Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:24, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

Using files

Make sure you use your files as soon as you upload them, otherwise they go unused and will be subject to deletion if no place can be found for them. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 23:08, October 24, 2021 (EDT)

Citations

When adding sources, make sure you properly format them. Additionally, inn the end of the article, add a references header if there hasn't been one and close with <references/>. BabyLuigiFire.png Ray Trace(T|C) 15:42, January 14, 2022 (EST)

Special:Diff/3540438, Special:Diff/3543451 - Please remember to add a new "References" section at the bottom if there isn't one present. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 00:04, January 21, 2022 (EST)

==References==
<references/>

You were reminded twice already. Please stop adding new references without the references section at the bottom; it's a hassle for others to add it for you. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 05:14, January 28, 2022 (EST)

Cup emblems

Please don't convert JPGs to PNGs and apply transparency to them; this goes against MarioWiki:Image use policy. They should be uploaded in their original JPG format with no transparency. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:03, February 18, 2022 (EST)

Foreign names

When adding alternate names that need to be romanised and don't use the "ChiSR=" parameter anymore, the romanisation should be in italics. Also, a space should go before opening parentheses (like this) and not(like this), and the "References" section goes before the navigation templates and categories, with "<references/>" under the header (see my edit here).
