Image Category Reminder

Hello, Archivist Toadette. 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.

A few of your uploads have been neglecting categorization. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:56, 20 December 2016 (EST)

Yes, {{uncategorized}} was Porplemontage (talk)'s idea and I created it. The reminder I gave you should give you a good place to start in the future instead of solely relying on the uncategorized template. The idea is for you to get more familiar with our website's inner workings. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:31, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Wii U Screenshot Uploads

Check this out because you can submit 1280x720 screenshots of live Wii U gameplay this way! No need to rely on YouTube videos (very common). Only downside is that it is JPEG. Don't convert to PNG. That doesn't do anything but bloat the file size. Quality doesn't increase. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:59, 20 December 2016 (EST)

@Wildgoosespeeder It increases the quality of MediaWiki-generated thumbnails. --A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 01:55, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Different sampling algorithms for reduction. The source image is likely flawed, similar to JPEG to PNG conversions (MPEG or other lossy formats that generated the frame being screenshot to PNG in this case). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:29, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Signature

I see that your signature (~~~~) is inserting raw code instead of transcluding it ({{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} produces ^(T|C)). The page exists, but something isn't set up right. Please verify here to make sure your Special:Preferences are set up correctly. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:17, 21 December 2016 (EST)

I think so. Just keep using ~~~~ and verify the code after you commit your edit. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:47, 21 December 2016 (EST)

FYI, your sig currently breaches the sigbox. Maybe shrink Toadette down a bit or replace it.

^(T|C)

18:37, 21 December 2016 (EST)

It wasn't a major problem, so it didn't seem like you needed a {{sigfix}} warning. You had just fixed an earlier issue, anyway, so I wasn't going to give you another one. 18:46, 21 December 2016 (EST)

Thanks For Working On Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Pages

Poison Canal Cannon Run

Thanks for getting around to creating missing articles for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. There is one in particular I wanted to see created and that is Poison Canal Cannon Run. You don't even need to upload an image for it. It already exists. When you can, make this article and use the image I am supplying. That should save you some time uploading. To save even more time with uploads, use the episode pages (Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, etc.). No need to create duplicate uploads. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 14:46, 23 December 2016 (EST)

Really? That's my favorite level as well! However, I'll put it off until I reach Toadette's Tribulations. You can feel free to create some of them as well. ^(T|C) 12:23, 24 December 2016 (EST)

I don't have the game so my contributions would be limited. I already tried to create the article the image I am referencing in this conversation and L151 (talk) shot it down. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:37, 24 December 2016 (EST)

That's all right, you can try to watch 100% playthroughs of the game. It's what I do even though I have the game. ^(T|C) 08:54, 25 December 2016 (EST)

Even so, I think that my contributions would be limited. If I can experience the game instead of watching someone else play, I can contribute more because of first hand experience. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:01, 27 December 2016 (EST)

I have the game, so if you ever want me to help you with it and shorten your work, I could :) ...After I work on Wario World's Shivering Mountains page and the next Sport Report, that is. 00:55, 26 December 2016 (EST)

Hey, nice job on filling out the remaining Treasure Tracker pages. --Glowsquid (talk) 12:56, 2 January 2017 (EST)

Creating talk pages of blocked users

If a user is blocked, there's no reason to create a new talk page if one doesn't exist purely to state that the user is blocked. All that does is waste space on the server. 17:17, 28 December 2016 (EST)

Okay, thanks very much. ^(T|C) 17:18, 28 December 2016 (EST)

Courtesy Reminder

This reminder has been overturned by the MarioWiki staff. The original reminder can still be viewed.
Please stop edit sniping 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.

According to policy, edit sniping is prohibited (first bullet point). Your edit. I was getting to it! Don't do it again! --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:49, 8 January 2017 (EST)

The staff are in favor of overturning this reminder. Please see Template:Plainlink for their reasoning.

Articles

Hey, it's great that you are creating articles for the missing levels, but they shouldn't be left in a bare-bones fashion. It would be much better to create the article in whole edit, especially as you add the information in short bursts which floods the recent changes, which is against our rules. I hope this doesn't discourage you from creating the articles. Yoshi876 (talk)

Edits

Hey! Great work on the Captain Toad / Woolly World / Mario Run level articles, but just to reiterate what Yoshi876 said, you should try to keep the number of edits to a page to a minimum, meaning keeping them in one big edit, then making any minor fixes if necessary. Just letting you know as making multiple consecutive edits to one page floods the recent changes page and is a warnable offence. Thanks for understanding and keep contributing! Mario JC 21:07, 24 January 2017 (EST)

Coin GUI Image

Since you removed the coin GUI image from the Magma Burger page, should it be removed from the Ruddy Road and the Battle Card pages too? --TheFlameChomp (talk) 18:13, 5 February 2017 (EST)

I'd say yes, since having an image in that particular scenario seems unprofessional to me. ^(T|C) 18:36, 5 February 2017 (EST)

Actually, no for Battle Card, as for once the icon looks professional there. I'm talking about using the image in-text. ^(T|C) 18:40, 5 February 2017 (EST)

OK! I also recently added it to the Coin gallery. Should it stay there, too? --TheFlameChomp (talk) 18:44, 5 February 2017 (EST)

Yes, it can stay there as well. Removing it defeats the purpose. ^(T|C) 18:46, 5 February 2017 (EST)

Re:Featured Articles

Thanks for expressing concern for my project.

Anyway, my sandbox isn't necessarily going to be one big homogenous page; it's just the foundation of what I'm going to do. Basically, I'm planning to split some things into separate pages: MarioWiki:Featured Articles/Archives/Feature nominations amd MarioWiki:Featured Articles/Archives/Unfeature nominations.

I'm going to replace the "Nominated articles/lists" and "FAs proposed for unfeaturing" headers with my Active nominations table.

My Featured/Articles Lists header will just add a link to the way it's currently organized.

I won't put a proposal up until I'm done organizing the archives list. There's still a lot of them left to go, so it won't be for a while. Ray Trace^(T|C) 20:48, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Anyway, I've already set up the archive in my page (the tables under the dates headers are my planned archive pages). What I'm planning to do is create archive page for feature nominations, copy that table to the archive page, and you can add your idea of adding different colors for different statuses. You should probably copy and paste my list rather than start them from scratch. Ray Trace^(T|C) 23:40, 8 February 2017 (EST)

I still think it's a better idea to give each year a different header, since we also currently organize featured articles by year. It's just for consistency's sake. Ray Trace^(T|C) 12:26, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Well, the way we currently do it is to organize by date and split off the years. The archives should also reflect that. We can also add the sortable parameter to the individual tables but keep in mind that the category archives already sort it alphabetically by default. Ray Trace^(T|C) 13:25, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Oh my goodness, I see a problem with the whole category thing in the unfeature succession archive. It's organized much differently than this category for no reason at all, because someone arbitrarily added |"letter of the name" to the end of the category at the bottom of the archive, rather than just letting the category organize itself. Also, the entire FA page naming needed admin intervention in the first place; I've contacted L151 (talk) to rename a good chunk of those names, because they were inconsistent as hell. I suggest we contact an admin or something to get rid of those added parameters in the category name. Ray Trace^(T|C) 13:55, 9 February 2017 (EST)

I have an idea. Maybe we could set up our ideas in the talk pages provided, so we can both edit it. How's that? I'm already giving you permission to make changes to my table, and if we're going to work together on this, we should both be able to edit it without having to make separate pages for two ideas that might clash together. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:26, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Nomination number, easy. Replace "First" "Second" in your table with IDs like "N1", "N2", so it's better organized that way, by numerical rather than alphabetical. I also had thoughts on implementing the color scheme, but I wasn't concerned on that yet until I completely finished writing the tables for all archives. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:46, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Re:Pink Gold Peach template dispute

Sorry about that, the templates were a bit confusing because they both stated "This article" rather than "This article/section of an article" also there is no mention on {{justreleased}} that it should only be used on game articles. I am wondering why you added a section on my talk page and acted like I had undone your edit multiple timed, the edit summary was perfectly fine and I would of understood from that perfectly fine, so I feel like there was no need to add that section to my talk page.

Broken redirects

No need to mark broken redirects for deletion, as a list of them can be found under Maintenance here. Appreciate the help, though! Mario JC 20:46, 24 March 2017 (EDT)

RE: Protection

Done! Mario JC 21:31, 29 March 2017 (EDT)

re: commemoration

It's an april fool's joke and we're going to archive the relevant material in a few hours. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:08, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

One Particular Article To Create

Apparently, File:Kamek's Last-Ditch Flyby 2.jpg‎ and File:Kamek's Last-Ditch Flyby.jpg‎ were uploaded almost two years ago without an article to link to them. I have a request. Please create Kamek's Last-Ditch Fly-By as your next article to create, just to use them up so they don't have to show up in Special:UnusedFiles anymore. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 21:00, 17 April 2017 (EDT)

I found a home for the latter image, but I'm not yet ready to create the level. Perhaps you could wait another...week...or two? ^(T|C) 19:21, 18 April 2017 (EDT)

Featured Articles

Hey, how has it been going? Have you made any significant progress constructing our planned Featured Article archive/nominations? Me, I haven't touched it in a while, thanks to other projects and projects outside of the wiki. Ray Trace^(T|C) 20:44, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

Yeah...I've been busy, too...But I definitely intend on finishing it! ^(T|C) 20:54, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

Just curious, but how much is done so far? I haven't been keeping track of it since that time ago. I'd maybe continue on it sometime soon as well. In the meantime, maybe we could move that table to the talk page of that archive, so we can both edit it. Ray Trace^(T|C) 21:41, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

I'm almost done with the successfully unfeatured articles in 2013 and hope to finish the unfeaturing succession archives in 2014 by the end of the weekend. Once I'm done, I'll go back and add in all of the failure archives. ^(T|C) 21:43, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

What the heck?????

Not trying to be rude, but.....when you just took out everything I just made for the "Zoe Nelson" article,......like, what the heck????? I spent 45 minutes making that and finding that information!!! Isn't there someplace it can go? You basically just waisted a whole 45 minutes. It seemed like perfectly fine information to have on the wiki to me.....I have no clue what it is to you, but that took me a while and I'm just disappointed. Sorry if I was a bit harsh.
