Uploads

Hello, DONUTS64. 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. A description of the image subject (parameter 1) should always be included, even if it's just a few words. 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.

Hello, DONUTS64. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:

Images Audio/video files

When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, images related to the game Super Mario World would use:

[[Category:Super Mario World images]]
or one it its subcategories. Media files would use:
[[Category:Super Mario World media files]]

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please don't leave the summary unfilled when uploading files. The above reminders explain how to do so properly.

Also, avoid using the file name stored on your device for your uploads. You should give them titles strictly based on what's shown in the file. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:06, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Images are added to articles by copy/pasting the file name of the file you just uploaded (File:MLSS BM Hoohoo Blend.png), not the directory path of the file on your device. Help:Image explains how to do this. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:11, March 11, 2021 (EST)

Please do not add file links to the page until you've actually uploaded them. You're also still using directory paths as the names. It doesn't work like that; please read what I posted above. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Wolf Link costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 05:18, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

Please stop using directory paths as file names on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.
