Editing User Talk Pages

I appreciate your removal of images that were replaced here but may I ask you to refrain from doing that? There is a rule here where you shouldn't modify the contents of what someone said on talk pages. I forget where but it is a rule here. Start here. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:37, 27 August 2016 (EDT)

I believe this is what you were looking for. Last paragraph in the "Where can I talk to others?" section. 18:41, 27 August 2016 (EDT)

Moving Files

For the time being, can you refrain from moving files? There's a lot of shifting around of file names on pages and redirects to tag for deletion when you do it. It's hard to detect what needs to be modified without replacing the entire contents of the file redirect with {{delete}}. I am not particularly fond of Fawfulfury65 (talk)'s naming scheme all those years ago (65 in the file name), but there are many images to go through and is probably not worth the time to move all of them anyways. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:16, 12 April 2017 (EDT)

Can you please stop moving files? I am in the middle of a mass replacement of Donkey Kong Land 2 images! It would make everything easier if you didn't move them right now. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:53, 12 April 2017 (EDT)

I wasn't sure if you were going to change File:ND1abril29.jpg‎ to File:Yarn Yoshi.jpg for pages that linked to it so I did it anyways. Based on previous moves, you never did. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:43, 16 April 2017 (EDT)

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (moving pages and forgetting to mark the redirects with {{delete}}) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

You've been asked about this before, but appear to have ignored it. When moving files, please mark the original page with {{delete}} so it shows up in Category:To be deleted and a sysop can take care of it. Additionally, you need to change the coding of the file name on the pages they were linked to, as failure to do so will result in broken links or image redirects. 14:36, 22 April 2017 (EDT)

Additionally, you don't need to move every image just to fix some grammar mistakes. Image names like "File:AAnimalB165.png" are confusing, so the rename is acceptable. Though image names like "File:GangplankGalleon.png" are fine as they still describe the subject well enough. 15:40, 22 April 2017 (EDT)

To be fair, it's my fault for naming a file File:AAnimalB165.png and others like it. I actually have a good reason for it. I was mass replacing static GIFs and wrongful use of JPEG with high quality PNGs. Keeping track of ~50 changed file names would have been a nightmare editing all affected pages (like 10-20 different pages). To make things easy, I just created redlinks by changing extension only (*.gif, *.jpg, and *.jpeg to *.png) and uploading by clicking those redlinks. MarioWiki:Image use policy bullet point 2 was not violated in the process. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:55, 22 April 2017 (EDT)
