Editing User talk:The Koopa King

== Edits ==

Hi, welcome to the wiki! You seem to be having some trouble with your edits, so here's a few things to keep in mind.
*This wiki is for official information, meaning fake and fan created information does not go in the main articles. There are some exceptions, though. However, if you can provide a source on if the level you are talking about actually exists in the game's coding, it would fit at [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content]].
*When uploading images, please remember to fill out the aboutfile template (or remove it completely), categorizing the image correctly, and applying the appropriate license from the drop-down menu. You can find all the information you need about those here:
{{aboutfile-reminder}}
{{imagecategory-reminder}}
{{license-reminder}}
Thank you, and keep contributing. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:36, February 7, 2020 (EST)

Additionally, we do not accept fan-made recreations of pre-release material. Your uploads have revolved entirely around these, but they do not fall within our guidelines. Please do not continue uploading them unless you can properly source them from official material, and please following the image instructions above. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:43, February 12, 2020 (EST)

Sorry. I just didn’t know. Only decent images I could find.
{{unsigned|Katelyn Croteau}}
:That's fine, you know now :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:49, February 12, 2020 (EST)

Please don't upload files without filling in the file details. {{tem|aboutfile}} should be filled in properly (otherwise you can simply replace it with a simple description); {{tem|uncategorized}} must be replaced with an image category relevant to the file; and a license should be selected from the "Licensing" drop-down menu. See the above reminders. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:54, February 12, 2020 (EST)

I wish that Nintendo would create a Paper Mario game for the Switch. With Dark Bowser as a boss! I haven’t seen him science I last played Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story!
[[File:MLBISDarkBowserBelly.png|thumb]]

I wrote since, not science!

Oh, and Nintendo should also add the Koopalings in the next Super Mario Maker 2 update. I have always wanted them! Also, it would be nice if Dry Bowser was there too!

Do not upload files that [[:File:MLBISDarkBowserBelly.png|already]] [[:File:LINE Sticker Mario in a Pipe.gif|exist]]. Check to see if they are already uploaded first. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:10, February 12, 2020 (EST)

^ This also goes for uploading similar images specifically for your userpage. Simply use the ones we already have. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:54, March 14, 2020 (EDT)

==Smart Apostrophes==
Additionally, both when writing and uploading files, make sure you use straight apostrophes and not [[User:Trig Jegman#What are Smart Quotes? What are Smart Apostrophes?|smart apostrophes]]. Thanks! [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 20:38, February 12, 2020 (EST)

What’s a straight apostrophe? What’s a smart apostrophe? I only have 1 type of apostrophe on my keyboard.

:Regular apostrophes are <code>'</code>, smart apostrophes are <code>’</code>. The latter is what you use. You might be able to change this in your computer settings somewhere? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:59, February 12, 2020 (EST)

::If you compare the type of apostrophe in your sentence to the one in my phrase: "It's not 'that' bad, sir," you may notice that yours appears to be more visually curved or angled differently. Alternatively, view the following: ’ vs '. There are several methods to resolve this, the first being entering computer keyboard settings and finding any potential smart quotes option and turning it off. The other is to copy and paste it in when using them on a mainspace page or (more importantly) a file name. If you want more information about their differences, [[User:Trig Jegman#What are Smart Quotes? What are Smart Apostrophes?|click this link]] and it will take you to my user page for more information about what they are. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 23:03, February 12, 2020 (EST)

There is only one problem about that. I am not using a computer, I am actually using an iPad. I actually do not have a computer, except for a very slow, old one that cannot even turn on. I cannot change the type of the apostrophe... wait a sec. I will go look.

::For apple products, go to Settings > General > Keyboards and then turn the 'Smart Punctuation' off. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 09:54, February 13, 2020 (EST)

== Stuff Not About Smart Apostrophes ==

So I was wondering why I cannot make a user page, because I have been on user pages of other people. It says that I don not have permission to create the page. I really want a user page.

::Userpages can be made by members that are [[Mariowiki:Autoconfirmed|Autoconfirmed]]. You must make ten edits and wait a period of seven days. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 09:54, February 13, 2020 (EST)

OK! I got it!

::Also, make sure you sign your posts either using four tildes (~) or by writing <nowiki>[[User:Katelyn Croteau]]</nowiki>. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 11:06, February 13, 2020 (EST)

Alright! [[User:Katelyn Croteau]]

== Team Koopa ==

What side are YOU on? Team Mario or Team Koopa! There’s no actual teams, but what I’m saying is that I would be on Team Koopa. - Katelyn Croteau

== Other Stuff ==

Yay! I finally fixed that smart apostrophe thing! Look: Bowser's the coolest!

Oh, and what I just said was true.

== Files ==

Why can't I upload files and make edits? I am logged in. {{unsigned|Katelyn Croteau}}

:You've already uploaded the file: [[:File:Peach Kissing Mario SMW.gif]] {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:33, February 16, 2020 (EST)

How do you get it onto the SMW article? {{unsigned|Katelyn Croteau}}

:You just did. The image was just located to the bottom of the infobox.

:The page's introduction isn't the place to be adding this information anyway. It would be better suited on [[Princess Peach]]'s article.

:And please start signing your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), even on your own talk page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:39, February 16, 2020 (EST)

You also need add the necessary file details to your file page as you've already been explained above. I notice you're uploading by clicking on the image icon on the text box, but I suggest using [[Special:Upload]]. If not, then please at least include this in the description:

<pre>
==Summary==
Peach kissing Mario

==Licensing==
{{game-screenshot}}

[[Category:Super Mario World Images]]
</pre>

And replace "game-screenshot" and "Super Mario World" with the different image type and game (as the above reminders explain) if the file is different. If you don't add a license or category for your files, you may receive a warning. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:45, February 16, 2020 (EST)

== User Pages ==

Is it OK if I include unofficial images on my user page? [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 19:22, March 10, 2020 (EDT)Katelyn Croteau[[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 19:22, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

:Yes, as long as they're marked with {{tem|personal-image}}. [[MarioWiki:Personal images]] has more details. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:20, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

==Second-person writing==
[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_Super_Mario_World_glitches&diff=2902720&oldid=2722903 Avoid using the word "you" on articles]. Only "the player" or the character's name should be used. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:20, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

== Bowser portrait ==

Ooooooh you should have saved that as a .png, .jpg wrecks pixel art. Just for future reference. It's pretty nice, by the way. Thumb's on the wrong side, but I've made that mistake with him too. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:58, March 11, 2020 (EDT)

== User space ==

You've been editing your user page exclusively for the past couple of days. Try to mix in some main article edits as well.

Additionally, you uploaded an already existing file again. Please check the game's page and gallery to see if the image you want is already there, this case being [[:File:SMP Boxart.png]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:12, March 16, 2020 (EDT)

{{userspace}}
While it's great that you want us to get to know you better, you need to cut down on the amount of time you spend on your user page. This isn't a blog site, so do focus more on main articles.<br>An option you can try is making your user page elsewhere, like on a Word document, and then pasting it all in one edit onto the page.<br>Also, you need to use [[:File:Toad Pixel Art By Katelyn Croteau.jpg]] somewhere, otherwise it will end up being deleted for going unused. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:55, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

== Super Mario Box Art ==

Someone deleted my Super Mario Party Box Art image from my user page! And it was from this wiki!

Oh. I understand now. But how do I get those pictures on my user page?

Sorry. I just like going on there. I'll make sure to mix in some main articles, too. Thanks for the advice. [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 15:58, March 17, 2020 (EDT)
:Do go over [[Help:Contents]] for our policies, and maybe you can find something you can do at [[MarioWiki:Maintenance]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:05, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

== Edits ==

I just edited the Hammer Bro. page, but the edit was deleted. Why?

[[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 16:08, March 17, 2020 (EDT)
:You are able to view past edits and the reasons for them by clicking the "history" tab at the top of every page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:09, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

== Warning ==

{{warning|2=not filling in file information}}
Your Hammer Bro image as well as the previous (now-deleted) uploads were missing the [[#Files|details I explained above]] (the text with the "Summary", "License" and a category). Please remember to add those details in the future (or use [[Special:Upload]] as I've suggested); we shouldn't have to keep pointing out the same image-related guidelines for you. Try to read through some of the pages on [[Help:Contents]] like [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]] as Alex95 has told you. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:14, March 17, 2020 (EDT)

== Deleting Users ==

How do I delete my user. I don't want it anymore. [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 17:58, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

It's just that I don't like my account. [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 18:01, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
:You can't, but making a new account is not acceptable, either (as is what you did with Ultra Koopa). If you don't want to use your account anymore, then don't use it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:40, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

But can I change this account name to Ultra Koopa? [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 18:43, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
:If you want a rename, you make a request at [[MarioWiki:Changing username]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:45, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

== Renaming Users ==

When I followed the directions on that page, it said "approved". But it didn't change my username. Why? [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 18:53, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
:You left the "|a" there when copying from the above section. I removed it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:55, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks ;)! But does that change my username? [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 18:56, March 24, 2020 (EDT)
:Not yet. You have to wait for a bureaucrat to rename you. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:57, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Got it :)! [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 18:59, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

Now that I've waited, can I rename? [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 22:09, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

:Now that you have been registered for three months, you can add a new request to [[MarioWiki:Changing username]] (separate from the old one), and a bureaucrat should rename you. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 22:16, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

OK :) [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 22:18, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks! [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 22:18, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

== Italics ==

Regarding your edit on that other account, remember to ''italicise'' game titles like ''Super Mario Maker 2''. You add two straight apostrophes <code>'</code> (not smart apostrophes <code>’</code> as mentioned above; I'd suggest changing the apostrophe setting for this) before and after the name: <code><nowiki>''Super Mario Maker 2''</nowiki></code> Please read [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]] as directed to you already.

Another thing, if you blank your userpage, your personal images will be deleted unless you include them to your userpage. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:25, March 24, 2020 (EDT)

OK! Thanks for the advice. [[User:Katelyn Croteau|Katelyn Croteau]] ([[User talk:Katelyn Croteau|talk]]) 10:38, March 25, 2020 (EDT)

== Adding Images ==

How do you add images to your articles? It's not showing a place to add them. [[User:The Koopa King|The Koopa King]] ([[User talk:The Koopa King|talk]]) 22:40, June 8, 2020 (EDT)
:You can find that at [[Help:Image]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:11, June 8, 2020 (EDT)

I took your advice and went to Help:Image, and it told me to write the name of the file down where I was editing the page and I tried that and it didn't work. [[User:The Koopa King|The Koopa King]] ([[User talk:The Koopa King|talk]]) 11:27, June 12, 2020 (EDT)

-== File information ==
-Noticed you're using [[Special:Upload]] now, however your last upload didn't display the file information properly:
-*"Aboutfile" is the template name, so that should be left alone. The "}}" underneath "|5=Other versions (use file link)" closes the template, so don't remove those either.
-**Remove any lines that you're not using, like "|5=Other versions (use file link)".
-*The category should be in square brackets (not curly), and is for where it came from, not what kind of image it is. You need to find the appropriate one from [[:Category:MarioWiki images]], so for this anime, it's a movie, so you'd find it by going to "Images by film" and find "Category:Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land Images", so you add <nowiki>[[Category:Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land Images]]</nowiki>
-*A license needs to be added by selecting from the "Licensing" drop-down menu.
-[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=File:SMWMTYNBL_Ending_Scene.gif&action=edit This is the result].
