Uploading images

If you want to upload the images yourself, you can go to Special:Upload. Just upload the file directly from your computer! 19:15, 14 September 2018 (EDT) I tried doing that, but I still don't understand how to put in the Floating Bandinero artwork, when a screenshot image of it already exists on its page. --Hamshamcart (talk) 19:33, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

Clicking the source filename "Browse" button will allow you to upload a file directly from your computer. Just choose the image you want, fill out the necessary parameters in he aboutfile template (or remove it entirely), categorize the image correctly (in this case, replace the uncategorized template with [[Category:Wario Land: Shake It! Images]]), choose the character-artwork license, and the upload it!

To actually place the image on the page, use [[File:FILENAME.png|thumb]]. Or just the FILENAME.png if in a gallery.

Lot of stuff there, so let me know if you have any questions :P 19:38, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

I tried doing it, but I'm still stuck. How can it be done properly, when it keeps showing the same results? --Hamshamcart (talk) 21:03, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

What are you seeing? You should be able to upload images. 21:25, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

I think only autoconfirmed users can upload images. Just checked and he has to wait for at least three or four more days. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 21:40, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

Apparently not. Porple and the Special:ListGroupRights say otherwise. You have to be autoconfirmed to upload through URL. 21:44, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

For future reference, to make a page the image is linked to appear in the file's File usage section, the image has to actually be placed on the page and the link to the page will appear in the File usage section automatically. 19:06, 20 September 2018 (EDT) Okay, thank you. I just needed some motivation to be better. --Hamshamcart (talk) 19:08, 20 September 2018 (EDT)

Hello, Hamshamcart. 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, Hamshamcart. 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 Company images Film images Game images Merchandise images Publication images System images Television series images Website images Company media files Film media files Game media files Merchandise media files Publication media files System media files Television series media files Website media 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.

I'll understand if you upload and then fix the parameters on your computer. Editing from console is a pain :P 15:33, 6 October 2018 (EDT) Yes, it is. But I'm wondering if you or anyone else can rip these Bowser Minions for high quality collecting? Just throwing it out there ;)--Hamshamcart (talk) 15:43, 6 October 2018 (EDT)

I don't have a Switch, but uploading directly from the Switch is about as high-quality as you're going to get at the moment I think. Unless you mean the sprites? 15:47, 6 October 2018 (EDT)

Renames

Rather than changing the name in the infobox, you have to actually move the page to the new name, change the links to the page, and site a source for the new name. 16:42, 23 October 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, we're still going over the material, so the renames should be held off on for the moment. 16:43, 23 October 2018 (EDT)

Spike Top

The Spike Top image you are placing on the Spike Top page doesn't exactly have a place to go, so it's better left in the gallery. Additionally, {{image-quality}} goes on image pages themselves, not actual articles. 12:26, 26 October 2018 (EDT) That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you, Alex. Just let me know when this Bowser Minion's artwork is improved.--Hamshamcart (talk) 12:36, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
