A few things regarding the articles you created as well: you were missing categories, and avoid adding unrelated navigation templates that don't include a link to the subject, so {{tem|Mario games}}, {{tem|DK games}} and {{tem|GBA}} should go (check your articles now to see the changes). [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style]] has more details. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:09, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

Uploads

Hello, Conradd. 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, Conradd. 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.

In the future, please keep in mind that you need to add an image category link and license to the file description when you upload (or afterwards by editing the file page) as I've done here. I would suggest using Special:Upload instead. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:04, May 13, 2021 (EDT)

Italics

Hello, Conradd! 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.

Userpage

Hi, its best to not have navigation templates and categories on userpages. Or else, your page will be registered as a page in a mainspace category such as Category:Donkey Kong enemies. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 20:39, January 17, 2022 (EST)
