Wii U Uploads

Very good uploads. I don't think most people know that trick that you can play a Wii U game live, use the built-in web browser, and navigate to a website that has an upload dialog UI (MarioWiki in this case going to Special:Upload) to upload a screenshot 1280x720 in resolution. I have all sorts of tricks in a WIP guide all about uploading high quality images. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:35, 21 February 2017 (EST)

Thanks! I'm not sure how other people get such bad images. This is the only way I know to do it. --Super Mario Fan ⁶⁷ (T•C•S) 17:38, 21 February 2017 (EST)

Many people take a lazier way of doing things, such as Google Image Search or YouTube snapshots. They had the power all along to upload high quality screenshots and never realized it. There is also the factor of not understanding how an image format works and what format is best for what situation. Recently, it became policy not to convert between formats. Don't confuse this with replacing because it is not against policy redoing a picture, which requires more effort than just converting an image to a different format. I replace images frequently. Here's my uploads. From my experiences, just for screenshots and sprites, PNG for everything except for Wii U screenshots and Miiverse uploads because those cases are JPEG. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:51, 21 February 2017 (EST)
