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:
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. 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"). 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.
If you are using a device that uses curly ("smart") punctuation, you may need to disable this function in your device's settings to be able to type out the correct apostrophes. |
Also, if you're getting models or sprites from the Models/Spriters Resource, it's preferred that you credit them in the summary. 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. Mario JC 09:50, September 21, 2023 (EDT)
Re: The 'Shroom Application[edit]
Hey there! You can send me it on Discord if you'd like, but I will also accept it through a PM on the forums. Looking forward to what you have in store! Meta Knight (talk - forum) 16:23, July 4, 2024 (EDT)
Thanks! Will send shortly! This is me, D-B-B! 16:28, July 4, 2024 (EDT)
Regarding your latest inquiry we're generally looking for the title of your section and where you'd like to see it, i.e "I want to write Game Corner in Fake News". If you don't know what team your section would belong in, or if you don't have a preference then we can handle it but we definitely need to know the name of your section. Thanks!

RE: Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia[edit]
That was due to concerns about the SMBE Encyclopedia still being in print and recent enough to be susceptible to copyright issues. Since the Perfect Encyclopedia has been long out of print, uploading the occasional manga strips should be fine. Mario JC 22:15, August 23, 2024 (EDT)
New stub articles[edit]
One or more pages that you have recently created have been deleted or marked as a stub article. Please consider the following ideas and suggestions when expanding/creating an article:

If you have enough information on how the minigame plays, then an article can be created, but if it's only going to be one sentence already mentioned on the game page, that's not enough. Mario JC 20:35, August 31, 2024 (EDT)
- Oh, didn't realize, sorry. I don't have too much information on the minigames, so making the articles was probably a mistake. If they are deleted, I'll wait until the game releases to make the articles. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. This is me, D-B-B! 20:45, August 31, 2024 (EDT)
