Image categories

Hello, JoeMcGoom4. 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.

Please keep in mind that the {{uncategorized}} line must be replaced with an appropriate category depending on the image. For Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D images, it should be replaced with [[Category:Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D Images]]. Mario JC 19:09, December 21, 2019 (EST)

Remember it's square brackets for category links, not curly ones. Mario JC 05:47, January 11, 2020 (EST)

The category link should be like [[Category:Yoshi's Crafted World Images]], not {{YCW Images}}. For another game, simply replace the "Yoshi's Crafted World" part with that game's title. Mario JC 19:51, January 20, 2020 (EST)

Hello, JoeMcGoom4. 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.

With your latest upload your left the fifth parameter (|5=) blank. If you do not have anything to put in a parameter, then it must be removed from the template. Thanks for your understanding. Doomhiker (talk) 17:53, January 29, 2020 (EST)

Hello, JoeMcGoom4. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common: {{game-screenshot}} - Used for game screenshots. {{game-sprite}} - Used for game sprites. {{game-3Drender}} - Used for game models. {{game-cover}} - Used for game box art. {{character-artwork}} - Used for artwork of a character. {{game-logo}} - Used for a game's logo. {{logo}} - Used for other logos. {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects. {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character. {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic. {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books. {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows. {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies. {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube. {{dvd-cover}} - Used for box art of DVDs. {{vhs-cover}} - Used for box art of VHSes. {{album-cover}} - Used for box art of music albums. {{poster}} - Used for promotional posters. {{music-sample}} - Used for music files. {{sound-clip}} - Used for sound effects. {{video-clip}} - Used for video files. When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

This too. Please remember to properly license your uploads. TheDarkStar 18:01, January 29, 2020 (EST)

New article

Thanks for creating the Reaper Guy article; just a few things to remember:

• The game title must be italicised. So Yoshi's Crafted World should be formatted as Yoshi's Crafted World, with two apostrophes before and after the title (''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'').
• The article must have a navigation template and a category at the bottom of the page, as I've done here.
• "It's" as in "it's scythe" is incorrect. "It's" is short for "it is"; the possessive pronoun is "its" ("its scythe").

The Manual of Style provides more details on how new articles are written. Mario JC 19:51, January 20, 2020 (EST)
