Image categories[edit]

Hello, DryBonesBandit. 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.

Also, when replacing an infobox image, try to find a different location to move the old image rather than removing it outright, otherwise it may end up unused. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 02:57, September 12, 2023 (EDT)

Please remember to categorise your files. It can't be broad like "Images", it needs to be more specific based on where the image is from (e.g. "Super Mario Maker 2 images"). Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 10:11, March 26, 2024 (EDT)

Italics[edit]

Hello, DryBonesBandit! Thanks for your contributions. When writing titles for media like games, films, TV shows, and publications, please remember to italicize them. This is done by placing two straight apostrophes (not quotation marks or curly apostrophes) on both sides of the title, or clicking on the I icon above the text box and typing out the title. For example, typing out ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generates Super Mario Bros.

Also, if you're getting models or sprites from the Models/Spriters Resource, it's preferred that you credit them in the summary. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:20, September 14, 2023 (EDT)

JPG to PNG[edit]

Please avoid converting jpg images to png and applying transparency to them; this goes against our image use policy. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 09:50, September 21, 2023 (EDT)
