Image category reminder

Hello, YoYo. 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 Company images Film images Game images Merchandise images Publication images System images Television series images Website images Company media files Film media files Game media files Merchandise media files Publication media files System media files Television series media files Website media 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, files related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]] or [[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.

New pages

The page(s) you recently created (Lake Kingdom) has/have been put up for deletion, has been deleted, or turned into a redirect. This may be because it violated at least one of the policies and/or guidelines of the Super Mario Wiki. There are some things you can do to ensure this doesn't happen again. Make sure there is no other article about the same subject with a different title, especially for conjectural articles. Make sure the article has enough information to make it a worthwhile read (i.e. it does more than state the obvious, such as "Luigi's Mansion is a mansion that is owned by Luigi"). Overly short articles are known as stubs and their creation is strongly discouraged; it is better to amass enough information to make a solid article right off the bat instead. Make sure the article is significant enough in the Super Mario franchise to have its own article. If the article has only been tagged to be deleted you can still fix or expand it, but an administrator may delete it at any time, so please act quickly. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing!

Lake Kingdom was deleted to to lacking pretty much all information. At the moment, there isn't a lot of info to go off of to make a justifiable article for it. Once more information becomes available, then the page can be recreated (by you or someone else). Feel free to keep adding information on an external page, such as a Word document or MarioWiki sandbox, and post the information once enough has been found. 15:58, 6 October 2017 (EDT)

Latest appearance

Letting you know that infobox stuff (artwork, appearance) and list of appearances aren't updated until after the game is released. Thanks. 18:29, 24 October 2017 (EDT)

This still applies to the Booster Course Pass. Appearances lists on the infobox are not updated until the course has been released. Mario JC 19:24, February 9, 2022 (EST)

Replacing images

Thanks for the images for the Odyssey kingdoms. Just letting you know that if the replacement file looks pretty similar to and is the same format as the one being replaced, you can just click on the "Upload a new version of this file" at the bottom of the existing file page, rather than upload a separate file altogether. That way there are no two similar images lying around and both versions are in one page, and we can change between them if needed. Mario JC 22:07, 6 November 2017 (EST)

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (making discourteous comments) 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.

This is not acceptable, especially towards a staff member on the wiki, as is the tone you're carrying into your comments in general. Keep your attitude in check when talking to other users on talk pages or another warning will be issued, or a block if it keeps up from there. Mario JC 08:20, May 8, 2021 (EDT)

i understand. RSM (talk) 16:41, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

Last Warning

Template:Lastwarn You aren't allowed to create a new account to "start over", please continue to use this one. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 16:45, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

dude, please. ive said stuff that i thought was clear was nothing but jokes and sarcasm and everyone starts looking at me like im a psycho, i felt really awful. now when i try to not look like a complete psycho, i get punished. what the actual hell is wrong with you people?! please just let me have all this regret leave. RSM (talk) 16:49, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

you punish me for stuff i regret, you punish me for trying to remove it all, what the hell do you want me to do?!RSM (talk) 16:50, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

Your jokes and sarcasm has been nothing but hurtful and it has violated our courtesy policy. The least you could do is apologize to Keyblade Master. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:51, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

i know my jokes and sarcasm have been hurtful and has violated stuff, thats why i want to get rid of it all. you are all treating me like a criminal when im not. RSM (talk) 16:52, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

i just dont like how im being punished for feeling regret. RSM (talk) 16:55, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

We aren't treating you "like a criminal" because we're giving you warnings for violating our rules. We aren't putting you on probation, giving you community service, fining you or putting you in prison. You aren't the victim here. We're merely enforcing a policy that you have to follow if you want to use and edit our site. Your actions can, and will, have consequences. Our punishment our for violating policy, not for any sort of regret. Doomhiker (talk) 16:57, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

i wish i could erase all the toxic stuff i said on this account and stay as far away from it as possible, but when i try to i get blocked?! it makes no sense to me, all i ask is my new account gets unblocked so i can have all the regret and dread removed from me. RSM (talk) 16:58, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

That's not how it works, and even if you were allowed to use the new account your current warnings would be carried over. The important thing to remember is that users can and often do improve over time, just do your best to learn from this experience and put it behind you. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 17:01, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

I appreciate that you realise the error of your ways, but I think you should be aware that there are boundaries for jokes, not just here but reality in general, and you did go too far with what you said about me being a fan of Kingdom Hearts. You should also be aware that this wiki has rules which you need to follow if you want to be able to keep editing here. Nightwicked Bowser 17:05, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

the people ive usually spent time around online have completely different boundaries for jokes, i let that blind me by assuming everyone shares those boundaries. you should know theres nothing wrong with being a fan of certain games and whatnot, i just assumed that everyone shared the same or had similar boundaries. RSM (talk) 17:08, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

can i at least have these warnings appealed? i never had evil intent, it was all what i believed to be banter. i understand it wasnt, but i didnt think about that when i sent it, i wanted to delete it but i wasnt sure if that was possible, i believe that, while yes, what i did was wrong, i never intended for it to be taken seriously RSM (talk) 17:08, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

I'm afraid you can't appeal these warnings because they were given by staff members. Really, the best you can do is just make sure this never happens again. Nightwicked Bowser 17:10, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

so ive been punished for something i never intended to be taken seriously and theres no way to reverse it? thats not fair at all, i believe that warnings and punishments should be given towards people who had intent in causing damage or harm to others, not for those who took a joke too far and regret it RSM (talk) 17:12, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

i assumed that because of how outlandish and toxic my messages were it was clear that they were simple jokes, nothing to take seriously, i didnt think anyone would think they were serious, im sorry for not clearing that up, i really should've, but i really dont think i should be punished for that; a simple heads up, not a full on warning thats now available for everyone to see and judge me on. RSM (talk) 17:14, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

i promise to all staff and members that this will be the last time that you will see any negativity or drama caused from me - i realize that maybe dodgy jokes like that are definitely not acceptable here and will no longer send messages carelessly, i will consider what i say and understand people's boundaries. RSM (talk) 17:18, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

i just feel like that both warnings are a little harsh, considering i even clarified that the toxicity was simply a joke/act and that i said on my user page i had no bad intent with making a new account. RSM (talk) 17:25, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

Hello, this punishment for your behavior is nothing personal. I'd advise you stop obsessing over the infraction. We cannot permit you to use your new account regardless (you may only have one account). Your apology was sufficient enough to communicate that what you did ultimately was hurtful regardless of intent, so I'd advise to move on. It is shocking and upsetting to get reprimanded for actions you did not intend to cause harm, but going on about it just makes the situation worse. I don't hold grudges against any user: time heals, and perhaps you should take time off this wiki to think about what you did, and what you could do to improve your behavior. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:41, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

i understand RSM (talk) 17:42, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

Don't make summaries with snide tones like these. I admit I forgot to reincorporate the detail but I removed it because you simply added the information with no source for the upcoming content, and I was already working on the section and preferred to get it out of the way so the misinformation isn't read by users. Mario JC 19:56, February 9, 2022 (EST)

yikes RSM (talk) 20:02, February 9, 2022 (EST)

As someone who has been diagnosed with autism, I seriously do not approve of you seemingly implying others' stupidity with that link, and I have blocked because you already recieved warnings on this behaviour (which was directly at me before). Even if you were "joking around" like before, that sort of thing is still not to be tolerated here. Nightwicked Bowser 20:13, February 9, 2022 (EST)

i apologise, though please dont talk to me like i myself have not been diagnosed with autism RSM (talk) 12:35, February 11, 2022 (EST)

A formal, sincere and utmost apology to all staff, admins, bureaucrats, etc. for my behaviour.

Have you ever sat down and browsed the internet one day and just decided to be absolutely careless for no reason? Sometimes it's nice to be care-free, but other times you need to realize that you're on a website filled with people you've never met before, most of which being children. You often forget or don't realize that you're not talking to your friends or bantering around with people you know, and you just forget what the simplest morals are. Picture this; it's very late at night, you're sleep deprived and you have had a fairly rough day. You just have a whole load of stress and energy you just want to release, there's numerous ways you can do that... but I don't think that a website used by a lot of people you don't know, a lot of whom are young, is the right place.

But that thought never crossed my mind. I've been thinking about it a lot, and it has made me a little down, but it is all my fault. So I want to make amends. I want to apologize to all people who I have said harsh or brash things too, I especially would like to apologize to Mario JC and Swallow directly, because I definitely did cross the line way too far with what I said. I attempted to do on their pages and apologize directly, but it seems I am unable to for a while so I will apologize here.

JC, I apologize for what I did and said, what I said was definitely an insult and I have understood now that this is no place for any rudeness, and deeply regret it, I have no excuse, it was straight up unacceptable behaviour and I honestly wish that I just took what you said and listened instead of being obscene. The right thing to do was definitely not what I did, and I promise that in the future, I will do the right thing, which is to just listen, and respond appropriately.

Swallow, I have re-read the stuff I have said in the past to you, and honestly, it genuinely upsets me a lot that I said such disrespectful and insulting things. I can only imagine how you feel, it actually kind of hurts me to think about. I of course wish to start anew and never to hurt you ever again. I was definitely being far too arrogant and just didn't think when I said those things to you, I understand why you got angry, frustrated or upset, I completely understand why you made the decision to block me, and I hope I can redeem myself in the future. I too have been diagnosed with autism in my childhood, I know how rough life can be because of it, but I didn't think about that at all, and I wish I did, I really do.

I would also like to give an additional apology to Waluigi Time for making a sockpuppet last year, I don't know why I thought I could just run away from all my problems, and I will not attempt to run away from them again.

I was only thinking about myself and didn't think how others would feel, not everyone takes things the same way and no one thinks the same way, and I was too arrogant to even consider that. I promise, that I will no longer be a nuisance to anyone on this website ever again, and I will instead choose to not interfere with anyone. I will behave and not disrespect anyone, or insult them or use harsh terms. I hope we can start to get off on the right foot in the future. I undoubtedly upset people on numerous occasions, which I genuinely apologize for. And I promise, genuinely, that I may never do anything like that again, and I mean that.

I will continue to use this account, and hope I can not be seen as the harsh and disrespectful person I made myself out to be in the future, I regret everything I did and promise that I am no longer that careless fool who would resort to insults instead of thinking about what they're reading or saying. When my temporary ban is over, I will remove the snide comment from my profile and start to act more professional and mature. I wish everyone well, thank you.

Redirect links

Redirect links are not allowed, so make sure links to the Booster Course Pass use the exact article title ([[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]], not [[Booster Course Pass]]). Mario JC 22:53, May 10, 2022 (EDT)

Sandbox category links

Please make sure you're not adding direct category links to your sandbox pages, otherwise it puts them on the category pages. Mario JC 23:12, May 29, 2022 (EDT)

Classic links

I want to let you know that Mario Kart Tour doesn't use classic prefixes when showing course names, so the classic template isn't needed for related pages. WildWario (talk) 23:55, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Replacing files

In the future if you're replacing an image with a new version of the same format (e.g. png with a png), just click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the old image's page, rather than uploading it separately. Mario JC 04:48, July 25, 2022 (EDT)

Also, if you do replace a separate image, make sure to mark the old image for deletion with {{delete}}. Mario JC 11:24, July 28, 2022 (EDT)

Future tense

Avoid using future tense even for upcoming content (unless you absolutely need to, like "It will be released (date)."); since the content is already shown in the game, just use present tense (e.g. "Waluigi Pinball appears...", "It is the last course of (cup)."). Mario JC 11:03, July 28, 2022 (EDT)

"You"

I've noticed this happens on occasion, but please avoid writing in second-person (using the word "you" / referring directly to the reader) on articles; only "the player" or the character's name should be used instead. Mario JC 23:32, August 27, 2022 (EDT)

"Minor" edits

Don't mark every edit as minor, especially large ones like this. Only small edits like typo fixes should be marked as minor. Mario JC 10:08, September 1, 2022 (EDT)

The MKAGP Bowser courses

I see you already partook action as per my proposal, but the reason I've been holding off to do it myself is because I first wanted the pages to be moved back to their original names before splitting, in order to preserve the revision history of those original pages, as I explained back then. However, with the pages having moved and re-redirected multiple times, I'm unable to actually move the pages myself, and thus asked an admin to do the moving (in this case, I asked Ray Trace).

So in short, I was waiting for a response of Ray Trace to move Bowser's Factory and Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart Arcade GP) back to Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart Arcade GP) and Castle Wall respectively, and THEN started splitting, to prevent any revision history messes (like what Archivist Toadette said here). But now, you did the splitting for me, BEFORE the pages could be moved back to the original names, effectively causing the revision history messes I wanted to prevent in the first place.

I'm not gonna fault you for anything, but I did state a couple times that I wanted the pages to be moved back to the original names first, before splitting. So uh, be a bit more cautious next time, OK? Arend (talk) 09:34, September 4, 2022 (EDT)
