How should screenshots from remakes be categorised? For example, most ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' screenshots are from the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version. Should they be in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' category, in the original game's category, in both, or even in a separate category (e.g. "Super Mario All-Stars (Super Mario Bros. 3)")? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 17:15, 13 June 2010 (UTC) | How should screenshots from remakes be categorised?

:I think I could | :I think I could make a category like "Super Mario All-Stars (Super Mario Bros. 3)" which is a subcategory of both Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario All-Stars Images. Hope this is okay. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 15:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC) | ||

A big problem to having these categories in images is that we can't tell if an image is licensed or not from using [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]]. For example, if there's an image that has like "Category:X game Images"; and no licensed category, I cannot tell if the image is licensed properly due to the fact the image has at least one category entry to make it excluded from that special page. I have a solution - why not create a template that says "This is an image that came from the game [x]". Attach it with a category and it will tell us if there are images that don't have the template, but only the category by comparing...let's say "Category:Mario Kart images", and "Template:Mario Kart image" by using the "What links here" link in the toolbox. --{{User:RAP/sig}} 22:18, 13 June 2010 (UTC) | A big problem to having these categories in images is that we can't tell if an image is licensed or not from using [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]].

:I don't know what about the other users, but whenever I noticed an unlicensed image while I added the game categories, I fixed the problem. In case of the template, okay, but I will not go through all the images again, use a bot instead. ;-) --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 08:06, 14 June 2010 (UTC) | :I don't know what about the other users, but whenever I noticed an unlicensed image while I added the game categories, I fixed the problem.
