Talk pages

Talk pages on the wiki are for discussing articles, not the thing that the pages are about, as this is considered forum talk. The comments you made on the Kitten and Fury Stake talk pages have been removed for that reason, and while you are welcome to discuss things like that on the forums and other similar venues, please leave the talk pages for wiki matters only.

Talk:Invincibility Bell

You've already uploaded the file, the next step is to add it to a page. It's not working because you're typing the wrong name and formatting it incorrectly (see my edit here). In cases like this, please be sure to use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save changes" button, as this lets you see what the edit looks like and make any necessary fixes before saving it, and prevents flooding the history pages with unnecessary edits.

Another thing, next time you upload a file, please keep in mind that you also need to add an image category and license under the description. To find the correct image category, follow the subcategories in Category:Images until you've found the right one and link it. For the license, add the license template (a list can be found here) for what type of file it is; for example, {{game-screenshot}} for a screenshot from a game. (See my edit here.) I suggest using Special:Upload instead of the text editor uploader to upload as it's easier.

Lastly, can you specify where you got this image? Mario JC 00:07, March 17, 2021 (EDT)

The image that a first gave you may be fan made as well. OkSteak (talk) 11:24, April 9, 2021 (EDT)OkSteak

Google Images is not really a good place to take images from, a lot of stuff that comes up there are likely to have fan-made edits on them. Nightwicked Bowser 13:14, April 9, 2021 (EDT)

Ok, so are we going to change the Invincibility Bell image back to the snapshot that was used before it, since even the current image was from Google Images. OkSteak (talk) 13:24, April 9, 2021 (EDT)OkSteak

Uploads

Hello, OkSteak. 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.

Hello, OkSteak. 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.

Remember to add the necessary file details rather than just adding a description. Also, please stop uploading poorly cropped versions of artwork and screenshots with the background removed and/or transparency applied. Often the end result looks very shoddy and it's best to avoid it altogether. If Nintendo releases official transparent artwork, we'll use that, but not everything needs a blank or transparent background. Mario JC 22:04, April 9, 2021 (EDT)
