Revision as of 21:57, October 21, 2023

MKT edits

Please stop removing {{conjectural}} from the name until its name has been revealed and confirmed. You've removed this three times now after your edits were reverted; please check the history (the "history" tab at the top of the page) before adding the same edit again, as a reason was likely given for the reversion.

Latest appearances also shouldn't be updated until the update or game has been released. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 02:16, January 10, 2022 (EST)

Show preview

In the future, if you want to see what your edits look like, click on the "Show preview" button next to "Save changes". This lets you check over any mistakes you may have made and go back and fix them before publishing the edit, instead of finding the mistakes afterwards and removing the edit (or making multiple edits trying to fix it), which can flood the recent changes and history pages.

Signing

Remember to sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes at the end: ~~~~ Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 08:22, March 19, 2022 (EDT)

User sub-pages

Hi, I need to inform you that user sub-pages cannot be used to add your own ideas that are unrelated to wiki editing or coding. These need to stay on your userpage. You can read MarioWiki:Userspace for more details. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 02:09, April 14, 2022 (EDT)

Yes. You can move all your ideas to your main userpage if you want. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 02:35, April 14, 2022 (EDT)

Uploads

Hello, MarioGamer119. 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, 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.

Hello, MarioGamer119. 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 couple 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.

Please fill the summary in when uploading per the above reminders. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 10:29, May 27, 2022 (EDT)

Remember to replace {{uncategorized}} with the category link as explained in the reminder (for Tour images: [[Category:Mario Kart Tour images]]). Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 03:13, July 2, 2022 (EDT)

Hello, MarioGamer119. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common:

  • {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects.
  • {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character.
  • {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic.
  • {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books.
  • {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows.
  • {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies.
  • {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube.

When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}.

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please remember to fill in the file summaries; your last several uploads were missing them. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 11:37, March 22, 2023 (EDT)

Sponsors list edits

Instead of editing one section at a time, use the "edit" tab to edit the entire page at once, otherwise making too many edits on a single page floods the recent changes and history pages. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 12:43, June 3, 2022 (EDT)

Thanks!

Thank you very much for helping add all of the images to the sandbox article! I really appreciate the help. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 08:31, December 27, 2022 (EST)

Userpages

Please do not edit other users' userpages without permission. Instead, you can use the table or gallery code from their pages and add it to your own userpage. Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 10:54, July 8, 2023 (EDT)

Formatting

Hello, MarioGamer119! Thanks for your contributions. When writing titles for media like games, films, TV shows, and publications, please remember to italicize them. This is done by placing two straight apostrophes (not quotation marks or curly apostrophes) on both sides of the title, or clicking on the I icon above the text box and typing out the title. For example, typing out ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generates Super Mario Bros.

If you are using a device that uses curly ("smart") punctuation, you may need to disable this function in your device's settings to be able to type out the correct apostrophes.

Also, don't capitalise random words mid-sentence if they're not proper nouns, like "Theme" and "Remix". Small Mario sprite from Super Mario Bros. Mario JC 22:57, October 21, 2023 (EDT)
