I am new to this site and have already been warned on my behavior. I promise I'm not trying to break rules or anything, I'm just having a rough time getting used to all these posting rules and techniques. I don't meant to ignore anyone, it's just that all this forum and coding business is a little confusing. I apologize if I did anything wrong.


Hello, and welcome! When writing game titles, please remember to italicize them by adding two apostrophes to either side of the title. For example, ''Mario Kart Wii'' creates Mario Kart Wii. Thanks! --A sprite of a Flame Chomp from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.TheFlameChomp (talk) 18:58, 15 October 2017 (EDT)

Image uploads

Hello, TheVixter. 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. 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.

Hello, TheVixter. 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.

Just leaving these here to help you out with some things. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:14, 20 October 2017 (EDT)

Warning.svg This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior 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.

A patroller (staff of Super Mario Wiki) issued reminders and you ignored them. Also, check Gallery:Mario for your Mario-related uploads (see {{galleries}} for all galleries). It's hard to identify uncategorized or unsourced images or using vague descriptions. File:Mariobobomb.png, we had File:Mario (with Bob-omb) - Misc artwork.png. We might already have something and don't want to duplicate uploads. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 20:28, 20 October 2017 (EDT)
