Mini-game
Please stop changing the article title to "mini-game". The display title should reflect the actual spelling of the article title; if you think it should be renamed to reflect the in-game format, discuss it first. Changing the article content text to reflect it is fine, but make sure you don't create a redirect link and pipe the link instead while linking to the article's actual name (i.e. [[Minigame|mini-game]] and not [[mini-game]]).
Also, I understand MP5 has a dream theme but can you point out where you're getting these names like "Velocity" and "Baseball"?

- It's still nonetheless important that you follow our policies and guidelines, as almost all of them are there for a reason. While "mini-game" is indeed an alternative spelling to "minigame", the former is rarely ever used in games, hence why we go with the latter.

Okay I won't mess with the word "mini-game" again. Promise

Do you think you have an idea for Introduction and Ending on the minigame Tube It or Lose It? The minigame does takes place on a snowy mountain I figured.

Do you have any ideas for an Intro and Ending for Mathletes? It takes place in a Coin Show!

Panic Pinball takes place in a big pinball machine and it's setting is Super Mario Bros. theme.
The Bill Blasters mini-game takes place in a castle.

Redirect links
Avoid redirect links (not linking to the article's actual name) like [[Super Stars]] for Super Star. When pluralising, just place the "s" after the brackets ([[Super Star]]s) or pipe it if the spelling is different (e.g. [[Spiny|Spinies]]).
Also, please keep in mind that when naming game titles, they need to be italicised (so Mario Party 5 should be formatted as Mario Party 5). Refer to MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles. Mario JC 19:51, March 12, 2021 (EST)
I've brought 4 new images for Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
But, how do bring in the files?
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jsylvan (talk).
- Go to Special:Upload or click on the "Upload file" link under "tools" on the navigation bar. Make sure you fill in the summary properly, add a license, and replace "{{uncategorized}}" with an image category link (
[[Category:Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Images]]in this case). You may also want to check the game's gallery and category pages to see if similar images don't already exist first.
- Also, please remember to sign your comments with ~~~~ even on your own talk page.
Mario JC 22:34, March 31, 2021 (EDT)
As I explained above, make sure you fill in the "aboutfile" in the summary. {{uncategorized}} should also be removed after adding the category link. (See my edit here.)
If you're not sure how to add an image to an article, Help:Image and Help:Gallery explains this. Mario JC 08:49, April 1, 2021 (EDT)

Hello, Jsylvan. 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, Jsylvan. 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:
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. |
Please read through these messages. Make sure to remove any parameters (like "4=Describe edits, if any") if you're not using them. See here to understand how it's done. Mario JC 20:54, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
Yes, well I have checked but I'm having a hard time getting it to the category. So I was wandering if I bring in the new images that's from the game then some one else can see and figure it out and I'll report it to them to check out as I make the file name of them.

- Please sign your comments with ~~~~ Nightwicked Bowser 21:02, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
- Filling out the file details is the uploader's responsibility, not others. It's not too hard, you just need to copy how I've done it here as I've linked to you above (replace "Subject of the image" with a description, remove any unused lines, and replace {{uncategorized}} with the category link). You added the category link correctly with File:FlowerCupLogo-MKDD.jpg; you just forgot to remove {{uncategorized}}. Mario JC 21:09, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
Tell me how to make pages for a new file.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jsylvan (talk).
- The file page is automatically created when you upload; you just need to fill out the details. The Help pages I linked you above then tell you how to add them to an article. And please remember to sign your comments. Mario JC 22:23, April 1, 2021 (EDT)
If you're not using {{aboutfile}}, just remove the entire template. Mario JC 23:11, April 17, 2021 (EDT)
Summaries
Please read MarioWiki:Good writing#Summaries that aren't. It's unnecessary to cram every single detail into the history section when we only need the information most relevant to the plot.
Additionally, don't begin sentences with conjunctions like "but" and "then". Either use a comma, or use a period but omit the conjunction. Mario JC 03:36, April 7, 2021 (EDT)
But that was all true in the story and I did have to double check anything to add more to history and that'll make sense to any reader. After all conjunctions in a few sentences in a paragraph.

You have been told lots of times on this page already to sign your comments, and you're still not doing it. All you have to do is type "~~~~" at the end of your comment. Nightwicked Bowser 06:17, April 8, 2021 (EDT)
Could somebody add "Areas" to the "Rogueport Sewers" article?
I have ideas for that.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jsylvan (talk).
- Could bring it up in that article's talk page, and did you read the reminder? Nightwicked Bowser 16:32, April 8, 2021 (EDT)
I read level 1 offenses, i'll try not to make mistakes.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jsylvan (talk).
- What I meant is you're still ignoring every message on this page regarding signing your comments, which is a requirement for all users on every talk page, including your own. You may be given a warning if you keep leaving your comments unsigned from this point. Nightwicked Bowser 19:11, April 8, 2021 (EDT)

Uploads
- Make sure you use your images as soon as you upload them, otherwise they may be deleted if we can't find a place for them. You still have a number of unused images.
- Please don't upload separate duplicates or very similar images. If you need to rename, use the "move" button at the top of the file page. If you want to upload a better version of an existing image in the same format, use the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the file page.
- You're still leaving empty {{aboutfile}} templates on file pages. Just remove the "{{aboutfile}}" text entirely if you're not using it as I told you above. Mario JC 21:25, April 18, 2021 (EDT)
I know, I tried to ddelete that mistake, but I couldn't find the answer.--Jsylvan (talk) 01:14, April 19, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

Can you please follow what other users are telling you. I've notified you twice for removing {{aboutfile}} already. If you don't know the answer or solution to something, please ask; we're willing to help. Mario JC 03:11, April 20, 2021 (EDT)

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (not following the above) 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. |
Please read your messages. You're still leaving behind empty {{aboutfile}} templates, and it's tedious for others to have to remove them after you. You can change the name by clicking "move" at the top of the file page and entering a new name as I've also mentioned above. It's good that you're seeking assistance but check your messages to see if the answer has already been provided to you before asking. Mario JC 06:35, April 22, 2021 (EDT)
I did check on the above, but I couldn't find the answer and barely understand what it was talking about last night. I'm being careful, I promise.
I read the template and I did not know, that was my advice for this hour.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jsylvan (talk).
- Not only are you still not filling in the aboutfile templates, you're also not licensing them properly. They should be licensed as "screenshots", not "sprites". Nightwicked Bowser 17:32, April 22, 2021 (EDT)
The filename got changed somehow and I don't know what happened?--Jsylvan (talk) 19:33, April 22, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan

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. |
Stop leaving empty "aboutfile" templates. Several times I've reminded you to just delete the "{{aboutfile}} text. Mario JC 22:11, April 22, 2021 (EDT)
I'm very sorry about that. I didn't see that coming that. I'm just a black 17-year old and I have been following my dreams since 2016. Please, I did read and checked but I sometimes forget about the specialties. I can be reminded for help and I will mind that. It's for the wiki and I'm gonna strengthen up my typing experience. I would like to say Thank You.--Jsylvan (talk) 22:28, April 22, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan.
Oh man. I missed those messages about aboutfile so many times by mistake and I even tried to remove them with "move" and I should've just thought of just the categories.--Jsylvan (talk) 12:48, April 23, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
Remember to use your images. There's a bunch you've uploaded but still haven't used: Special:ListFiles/Jsylvan Mario JC 23:41, April 23, 2021 (EDT)
Moving files
Now that you know how to move, one more thing after you do that is to add {{delete}} on the old file name to mark it for deletion, since we don't want file redirects. Make sure there aren't any articles that still use the old name first (on the old name's page, click on the "What links here" link under "tools" on the navigation bar), and edit those articles to change from the old file name to the new file name, like I've done here. Mario JC 20:48, April 24, 2021 (EDT)
Okay, thanks. I'll get used to it sooner or later and get rid of the mistakes.--Jsylvan (talk) 20:51, April 24, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
I made a mistake on the Mario Party 2 result board logos to the Mario Party category. I tried using move, but no clue.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jsylvan (talk).
- You just need to edit the page and change "Category:Mario Party Images" to "Category:Mario Party 2 Images". There's no moving involved; moving is only necessary if you're changing the file name. These logos already exist anyway: Gallery:Mario Party 2#Board logos. Mario JC 07:22, April 28, 2021 (EDT)
Licenses
Make sure you're not marking every upload as a "screenshot". Many of them, like File:MP3 Gate Guy Logo.jpg, are sprites. If you made a mistake, you can change it manually by editing the page and changing "{{game-screenshot}}" to "{{game-sprite}}" (other template codes are found on Help:License). Mario JC 21:52, April 29, 2021 (EDT)
Also, can I ask why your sprites are mostly JPGs? You can usually find PNGs of these on Spriters Resource. Mario JC 22:36, April 29, 2021 (EDT)
Because you told me about the screenshot license from the previous message. The jpgs were named by the mac computer itself.--Jsylvan (talk) 23:22, April 29, 2021 (EDT)Jsylvan
- That was Keyblade Master who said to mark the minigame icons as screenshots, but I corrected him and said that those are actually sprites as you initially marked them. Either way, you should be using your best judgement on which license to use by telling which are screenshots and which are sprites. Board logos are not screenshots.
- How are you getting your images and saving them to your computer? Mario JC 00:03, April 30, 2021 (EDT)
Titles
Make sure you're italicising game titles when naming them on articles, per MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles (e.g. Mario Party 3 should be formatted as Mario Party 3).
Also, please try to give your file names more professional titles next time. Instead of something like "File:Bowser's gonna battle Mario! PM.jpg", just write "File:Mario Bowser battle PM.jpg". Mario JC 06:25, May 2, 2021 (EDT)
- Also also, you need to use the images you upload by adding them to galleries. They will go unused otherwise, just categorizing them is not enough.
