Uploads[edit]

Hello, Angry Chicken-Owl. 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. |

Hello, Angry Chicken-Owl. 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 syntax 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 for the parameter(s) you don't use. 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! When uploading images such as File:SMO Water Kingdom.png, please remember to add categories such as [[Category:Super Mario Odyssey Images]], along with correctly filling out the {{aboutfile}} template. --

Re:Sourcing[edit]
There's no need to split one video source into many different citations, especially citing the same video in two different citations in the same sentence, just in different time stamps. Just a single mention of the video will do. Additionally, if you're using the same source for other statements, use
<refname="Your Source here"></ref>
for your first mention of the source and then use <refname="Your Source here"/> for the rest of the same source. You can find examples of that in the Luigi's Mansion 3 article on how to format what I suggested properly.
Hope this helps.

Re: A quick apology[edit]
Yeah, don't worry about it, it's fine. Talk pages are meant to be kept as a permanent record, so removing comments that aren't spam or something isn't allowed. As long as you don't do it again, it's fine, it's not necessarily the most obvious rule going (It's covered here if you're curious though) and plenty of users make that slip-up early on.
