Aboutfile

Hello, Metalex123. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded syntax is shown below. {{aboutfile |1=Subject of the image |2=Where you found the image |3=Artist |4=Describe edits, if any |5=Other versions (use file link) }} Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line for the parameter(s) you don't use. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Just a heads up. If you're not sure what to fill out, just leave it blank. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:53, 13 January 2014 (EST)

Recent edits

Hey, recently you've been editing TPPs that have already been settled, you are only allowed to edit them if they are currently being voted on. Yoshi876 (talk)

Ok then, tell me why are Ashley & Red still in the same article if the majority voted that they should be in separate articles? --Metalex123 (talk) 17:51, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Because of this.--Vommack (talk) 17:53, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

It pays to look through the whole page first before you ask questions! Make this a meaningful lesson! :) It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:08, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Moving page based on Japanese names

Just FYI, the wiki's has an huge problem with properly sourcing names, and as you can tell from the sitenotice, it's something we're trying to fight. Before moving pages to the "official Japanese name" (as you did with several DK64 enemies over the past few days), try finding a source for the name in question. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2015 (EDT)

Well then sorry for moving pages to the only "official" name that was shown on the page (for example, the Ghost Book's japanese name was apparently "Cheato". I don't know if it was true or not, but it was the only "official" name shown on the "In other languages" category; same for the other pages I moved.). If I was wrong, then sorry for moving these pages. Sincerely, Metalex123 (talk) 17:31, 10 April 2015 (EDT)

Reply

Oh, thanks for that. I'm aware of the old state of Mushroom World, as I voted in the proposal and I was the one who overhauled the page once that proposal passed. I was actually hunting down all Mushroom World links that are used like that and trying to invoke how ridiculous the attempts were to tie Mushroom Kingdom to Donkey Land. It's fine to interpret Mushroom World as Mario's planet and to like the article's old state, but the concept of Mario's planet is insignificant in the eyes of the games and even other media, so that's why we don't cover it. I find the concept of Mario's planet and all interesting too, but it's almost like making articles on something like Mushroom Universe and All worlds, which were articles before. It's me, Mario!

Hey

Hi there, I've noticed you worked hard with the Donkey Kong 64 article, especially when I was aiming to get it featured. I just wanted to thank you for the help. I was thinking about thanking you around the time of the nomination, but it kinda slipped my mind. In any case, thanks for all the help with the article. Tails777 Talk to me!

I don't really know what to say to this, so I'm just going to say this: Thanks Tails! --Metalex123 (talk) 03:15, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

Costume Mario proposal.

I have changed the options and rewritten the proposal on the Costume Mario Sprites. Please Take a look. (T · C) 10:46, 16 September 2015 (EDT)

Tiny Kong Image You Changed

Three things:

1. File:Tiny Kong DK64.png is smaller than File:Little_grilTinyKong.gif. I understand that GIF doesn't have all the colors (8-bit) that a PNG can hold (24-bit), but I think the mods would agree that the GIF should continue to be used.
2. Tag removed images with {{delete}}. You can specify a reason like this: {{delete|[[:File:Tiny Kong DK64.png]]}}
3. File:Little_grilTinyKong.gif is being used on Gallery:Tiny Kong. Check file usage of each file to make sure you get every page.

Okay, sorry for that then... --Metalex123 (talk) 17:42, 10 February 2016 (EST)

No worries. All is good now. Moderators will now decide the right action to take. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:23, 10 February 2016 (EST)
