File categories[edit]

Hello, Pifouillou. 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

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, images related to the game Super Mario World would use:

[[Category:Super Mario World images]]
or one it its subcategories. Media files would use:
[[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.

File:DKC Millestone Gnawty.gif is already done; you don't need to make anymore changes to it. This reminder is just for future uploads. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 07:34, December 11, 2023 (EST)

Again, leave the file alone, I've already added the image category to the page. The category should also be in [[square brackets]], not {{curly brackets}}. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 07:32, December 13, 2023 (EST)

Make sure you do this for media files as well, not just images. It's the same method but with "media files" instead of "images". Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 08:21, September 22, 2024 (EDT)

Previewing edits[edit]

Hello, Pifouillou. When editing, if you'd like to see how your edits affect a page, use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save changes" button. This allows you to check over your edits for any errors and make any additional changes or fixes before you save, which will prevent edits from flooding the page history and recent changes. (If you are on mobile, make sure to check the preview page thoroughly before proceeding to save.) Please try to avoid making excessive, consecutive edits to a single page within a short timespan and instead limit them to as few as possible.
