Very good [[Special:ListFiles/{{BASEPAGENAME}}|uploads]]. I don't think most people know that trick that you can play a [[Wii U]] game live, use the built-in web browser, and navigate to a website that has an upload dialog UI (MarioWiki in this case going to [[Special:Upload]]) to upload a screenshot 1280x720 in resolution. I have all sorts of tricks in a [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox|WIP guide]] all about uploading high quality images. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 17:35, 21 February 2017 (EST)

::Many people take a lazier way of doing things, such as Google Image Search or YouTube snapshots. They had the power all along to upload high quality screenshots and never realized it. There is also the factor of not understanding how an image format works and what format is best for what situation. Recently, it [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|became policy]] not to convert between formats. Don't confuse this with replacing because it is not against policy redoing a picture, which requires more effort than just converting an image to a different format. I replace images frequently. Here's [[Special:ListFiles/Wildgoosespeeder|my uploads]], the [[Special:Log/delete|delete log]], and [[:Category:Pages to be deleted|stuff to delete]]. From my experiences, just for screenshots and sprites, PNG for everything except for Wii U screenshots and [[Miiverse]] uploads because those cases are JPEG. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 17:51, 21 February 2017 (EST)

Hey, since you seem to like harvesting photos for pages, have you considered any other games besides [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|the]] [[Super Mario Galaxy|ones]] [[Super Mario Maker 2|you're]] [[Yoshi Woolly World|doing]] [[Super Mario Odyssey|now]]? Some games I noticed that need help are [[Mario Party 8]] and [[Super Mario Strikers]] [[Mario Strikers Charged|(and Charged, probably)]]. I don't have a clue as to how you do what you do, but I have come to understand that it is a Wii and Gamecube capturing device, so if you would want to do those, there is a lot for ya. Thanks for being great. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 21:11, July 2, 2019 (EDT)

Heyyyy I thought I saw a thing about you starting [[Super Mario Galaxy|SMG]] soon, and while you are ready, ''I'm definitely not''. I still have a lot to riffle through, and it will take some time. If you start now, please don't pass the letter S alphabetically if you go through the Category. I can move only so fast, but I'll try to focus on getting it squared away before moving to [[Super Mario Odyssey|SMO]]. Thaaanks. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 19:19, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

Now I have absolutely zero authority or confirmed knowledge on this matter, but personally if I'm changing file name links (one with :File: ) on talk pages such as Alex95's recent bullet bill, I think it may be preferred to alternatively name the file. For example, if the old file was named 'MK old logo.png' and is now Mkold.png, it should be formatted to look like this: <nowiki>[[:File:Mkold.png|:File:MK old logo.png]]</nowiki>. I think this preserves the text of the old image, especially since sometimes the discussion on said talk page is about the file name. Still prevents breaking, but also prevents confusion and changing archives. The only exception I really have for it is [[User talk:RAP/test3/3|the rap test]] because that'd take too much time for a page maybe three people tops look at ever.

Hey, if you would like to help with this little project I'm trying here, to move some [[Super Paper Mario|SPP]] files, let me know on [[User talk:Trig Jegman|my talk page]]. More simple information can be found [[User:Trig Jegman/sandbox|here]] under 'Project'. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 21:52, August 17, 2019 (EDT)

I don't mean to cause trouble, but he broke the rules of this wiki. Stuff like that sets me off. And I mean no disrespect, but I want this site to be friendly and maintain balance. There's just so much going on in my life and I'm struggling to be a good editor for Steve. I want to be the best I can be. I'm trying my hardest to educate the Mario community and I can't do that if I make enemies on here. I want us all to get along. So, I'm sorry for being an awful person. I'm ashamed of myself.

The png one has been said to be a converted version, which is against policy. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 14:30, July 15, 2019 (EDT)

== Re:Undergrunt ==
The problem is that the ''entire point'' of the image in the first place was to show an angry Undergrunt as we didn't have a picture of that otherwise. Anyways, I'm happy to hear that there was no malicious intent behind the "oops," but I have seen that happen before, with people saying "oops" alongside actively-malicious edits.

== I can't edit certain pages ==
Hello Supermariofan67!  Recently while playing Super Mario Galaxy, I discovered a glitch that had not been documented on this site or any other I've looked at. I wanted to add it to the page with a list of glitches in Super Mario Galaxy but the page was protected. Is there a way to edit this page or not?

==Continued discussion on gamma-image/color corrected==
<small>''As last discussed [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/55#New Template:Gamma Image|here]]''</small> {{br}}
@Trig Jegman, @Mister Wu, I made a quick (still incomplete) draft of a page that could describe the technical parts of color-correction metadata and how to safely optimize these images in [[User talk:Supermariofan67/Sandbox2|my sandbox]]. There are still a few missing details I haven't figured out yet, and anyone is encouraged to add to it or take details from it to make something else (we don't have to use it of course, I don't know if all of the information is relevant/important to include). Additionally, while it might be nitpicky, I think it might be a good idea to refer to the metadata as "color-correction metadata" rather than "gamma brightening," since technically gamma is only one type of color-correction metadata and iCCP seems to be the most common from the images I've tested. --{{User:Supermariofan67/sig}} 18:24, February 19, 2020 (EST)
::Perhaps it would be more appropriate then to use <nowiki>{{color-corrected}}</nowiki>, with the following? The link would be a new page that explains color correction in a much more broad sense with a section on how to properly optimize the images. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 19:00, February 19, 2020 (EST)
<div class="notice-template" style="display:flex;text-align:center;background:#cb7eff;margin:0.175em 2% 0.75em;padding:0 1em;border:2px solid black;color:black">
This image has ''[[User:Trig Jegman#What's Gamma Brightening?|color changing metadata]]'' and should not be optimized.
</div>
:::Yes, I like that idea. --{{User:Supermariofan67/sig}} 19:10, February 19, 2020 (EST)
:::::Would you like me to gather other people to view what's written so far or will you pursue that yourself? - Trig - 09:43, February 25, 2020 (EST)
