Names in other languages

Hi. What's your source for your names in other languages? I ask because you've re-added that French name of Paper Macho Bob-omb, which isn't named in-game and comes from internal data, and is not identified as a Parabomb in the English or Japanese files. If it is unofficial, it isn't allowed here. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:59, November 15, 2020 (EST)

Previewing edits

Hello, Pingouinsandwich. 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.

Please try to preview so you avoid making several error-fix edits like this. Mario JC 05:57, March 2, 2023 (EST)

Uploads

Hello, Pingouinsandwich. 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, Pingouinsandwich. 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.

The category needs to be more specific than "Game images" and should be the actual game, remove any lines that you're not using like "Other versions (use file link)", and you don't need to type {{game-screenshot}} if you already selected it underneath (see here). Also, make sure you sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~), even on your own talk page. Mario JC 21:39, March 3, 2023 (EST)

Look at this edit for how a category should be added. It only needs to be "Category:(game title) images" in square brackets, no more specific than that. Mario JC 02:23, April 29, 2023 (EDT)

Please make sure to give your files descriptive file names, like "(media) (subject).png" (e.g. something like "TSMBM Bullet Bill.png" instead of just "Bulletbill.png"). Also, most of your Mario movie mages are very blurry/low-quality; try to avoid using low-quality videos for your images or enlarging the images, as this makes the blurriness more evident. If you have access to the film digitally, you can just screenshot from there. Mario JC 10:49, June 8, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry, but I think it's better to have low quality images instead just nothing, if someone find a better quality, then he can put it over mine. I don't see the problem to fill the empty case of the wiki, even if it's low quality. At least, there is something PiNGOUiN (talk) 11:16, June 9, 2023 (EDT)

I agree with that, I'm saying you should try to find better quality images yourself to start if you can. Mario JC 21:50, June 9, 2023 (EDT)

Make sure the categories added to files are always "images" categories (so any image related to Mario Party is always "Category:Mario Party images"). "Characters" categories are only for character articles, not character images. Mario JC 09:35, June 16, 2023 (EDT)

JPG to PNG

I don't know how you're cropping the scans, but if you're saving the scans and cropping from them through a program, in the future, make sure they're in the same format as the scans were (so jpg, not png) as otherwise it can bloat the file size. This was evident with the version you uploaded for File:MP1Groupartworkwithoutthelogo.jpg, which was 3 MB larger; the smaller ones like the Boo and Dice Block aren't as drastic but they build up as more are uploaded. Mario JC 10:11, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah for the logo i converted my file because in the Gallery of Mario party there are a message which say that we need to convert jpg to png, so I don't know. But for Boo and Dice Block I don't converted my files PiNGOUiN (talk) 10:16, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

It means to replace the JPGs with any official BMPs if available (which are converted to PNGs), not to convert the JPGs themselves to PNGs. Mario JC 10:23, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry to bother you in both discord and even here, but I use my computer now and found those images from Nintendo HK were still in JPG. May I know if you change the format of images during your crop again or you just found them as PNG?

And about the problem with file links, for example, this is a file link, and if you try to remove weird suffix in the link, here's the result, which original image displayed in normal. Blhte^{(A****** c*****)} 17:22, June 21, 2023 (EDT)

SMBE refs

Remember that Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia should be italicised, and there should be a space before the opening parentheses when you add a game label for a foreign name, after the reference. Mario JC 22:14, July 2, 2023 (EDT)

Capitalisation

Avoid capitalising words in captions that aren't proper nouns or the first word of the caption, and make sure to keep them consistent with the rest of the gallery (the other images write "box art" in all lowercase, which is how it should be written). Mario JC 22:15, July 17, 2023 (EDT)

^ This also applies to section headers ("Cartridge Art" should be "Cartridge art").

Also, if you're replacing an image, the old image can be marked for deletion with {{delete}} with a link to the new image in it ({{delete|[[:File:Example.png]]}}). Mario JC 08:03, July 31, 2023 (EDT)

PiNGOUiN (talk) 08:32, July 31, 2023 (EDT)okay thx a lot

You're still capitalising "Art" in section headers; it should be lowercase. Mario JC 21:03, August 6, 2023 (EDT)

Again you're capitalising ordinary words like "Key" and "Pre-release". Only if it's the first word of the caption, or if the word is a proper noun (like a country/language name, game title, character name etc.), should it be capitalised. Mario JC 08:26, June 26, 2024 (EDT)

Removing comments

Hi! Please do not remove comments by other users - they're meant to stay. This actually counts as a level two offense. Sparks (talk) 16:01, May 21, 2024 (EDT)

wtf excuse me I doesn't know it was just in order to clean my page lmao thx PiNGOUiN (talk) 16:20, May 21, 2024 (EDT)

"Club Nintendo"

Only italicise words that are part of the name, like this (so just Club Nintendo). "French" and "magazine" or "poster" are not part of the name and should be outside the italics (again, don't capitalise non-proper nouns like "Poster"), and it should link directly to the magazine page, not the disambiguation page. Mario JC 03:03, June 6, 2024 (EDT)

I don't agree with you, those artwork are in a lot of Club Nintendo magazine, not only the french one, I feel like the disambiguation page is the proper one PiNGOUiN (talk) 12:57, June 6, 2024 (EDT)

On Guides

FYI, Shogakukan is considered Nintendo's official Japanese guidebook licensee (until around the start of the Switch era). The reasons for this are best explained by Mister Wu here. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:45, August 20, 2024 (EDT)

Personal images

Make sure personal images are used for userspace (your userpage or signature) as soon as it's uploaded, otherwise it will be treated as unused and deleted. Mario JC 07:30, September 23, 2024 (EDT)

Sorry yesterday I was about to update my userpage but my electricity just crash, I'll do it this evening PiNGOUiN (talk)

Names from French SMBE

The French Super Mario Encyclopedia is an official publication and should regarded as such. I know that the English release has a bad reputation, but that does not mean that every release of the book should be condemned.

Please don't remove names on the sole basis that it comes from SMBE, especially it is the only known French name (for example, Moneybag). Just because the name is retained in English does not mean that it is wrong; numerous enemies in early Mario games retained their English names.

By the way, I would not consider Prima Games guide books to be a more reliable source; they are known for making up a lot of names. Jdtendo^(T|C) 23:47, September 26, 2024 (EDT)

Frérot tu peux clairement voir que les noms sont pas bons soit objectif. J'ai jamais dis que toutes les versions étaient reprochables, juste là tu vois bien que la version Française fais partis des versions erronées.

T'as des tas de noms qui sont issue de l'anglais ou qui sont mi-anglais mi-français, on dirait vrm que le livre à été traduit de n'importe où, en passant ton argument est pas recevable parce que tu vois bien que peu importe l'ancienneté de l'ennemi, sur la version italienne ils reprennent pas les noms anglais sur tout les ennemis comme Bookend et Moneybag ou même avec les ennemies plus récent comme Tracks (enemy) (Il y en a où c'est issue de l'anglais aussi et il faudrait l'enlever mais ceux que j'ai cité sont bons). Et y'en a encore plein d'autres t'as juste à ouvrir le livre mdrrr t'as cru que je l'avais pas ? Donc si, ça relève clairement d'une erreur, et quand bien même ça serait pas le cas il faudrait au minima une autre source pour confirmer quelque chose d'aussi absurde.

Et pour le prima, au moins comparé au SMBE, y'a pas de noms en anglais ou de ressemblance entre les noms. J'essaye toujours de faire les choix les plus objectifs concernant les noms et sur qlq ennemis tu peux bien voir que y'a pas que le prima qui les donnent, ils sont officialisé par nintendo comme sur Spiky Topman ou encore Launch Star. A moins que t'es autre chose pour démentir la version française je pense qu'on peut se mettre d'accord sur le fait qu'elle soit pas autant falsifié que le SMBE.

Soit plus objectif la prochaine fois avant de m'envoyer un mess stp. Bonne journée (D'ailleurs je sais pas ce que tu racontes mais je retire que ceux qui sont issue de l'anglais, je retire pas tout sous prétexte que ça vient de smbe) PiNGOUiN (talk)

Names in other languages sections

Make sure new "Names in other languages" sections are level 2 sections, not level 3 (two equal signs on either side of the header, not three):

Ten and Shun

Hi, it seems you uploaded solo artwork for Ten and Shun. How do you know which character is named which? We only know which one is Ecks because of a dialogue bubble in the overview trailer, but the other names came from website descriptions that never indicated who was who. Technetium (talk) 08:32, October 11, 2024 (EDT)

Re:Regarding SMBE French names

It looks like Jtendo had a similar sentiment. Like I said, I think it's best discussed on the book's talk page. It took a massive community decision to decide what to do about Dark Horse and their translation. Enough evidence was compiled near the book's release, one of the translators was confronted about it on social media, and we know for a fact that the wiki was directly referenced for the English version (later Dark Horse publications like the Sonic Encyclo-speed-ia would give thanks to wikis - and before it all came to a head here, some of us had a pretty good idea that Mario Encyclopedia was not the only time similar things have happened). The wiki should likewise have a community consensus about the other publications' translations before making major mainspace edits. If you have serious suspicions with the French version of the book, you should really talk to Mister Wu (talk) or Glowsquid (talk) about it. They've either interacted with people involved in other translations or know of others who have vetted through the book's other translations, and where things last stood, they helped determine back then that the other translations were not nearly as egregious.
