Uploads

Hello, Shy Guy on Wheels. 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.

Thanks for uploading music for the battle courses of Mario Kart 7! However, you're not filling out the {{aboutfile}} or removing it entirely. Please fill it out, or if you're not sure what to include, you can delete it entirely.
The files are also lacking a category, but Category:Mario Kart 7 Media doesn't exist, so... 12:41, 11 February 2017 (EST)

Image Categories

Whenever you add a category to an image, you should write it as [[Category:Mario Kart Wii Images]] instead of {{Mario Kart Wii Images}}, as the second one is for Template:Mario Kart Wii Images, which doesn't exist. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 06:49, 14 February 2017 (EST)

Hey, nice job on getting that Yoshi's Island logo!
