Uploads

Hello, Scarlet Pairo. 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, Scarlet Pairo. 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.

Also, if you're uploading a better version of an existing image that's the same format, click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the existing image's page, instead of uploading it separately.

Talk pages

Talk pages are only for discussing changes on articles, not for talking about childhood memories or excitement about upcoming subjects. Anything like those will be removed. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 08:42, October 14, 2021 (EDT)

Oh okay, I thought they were miniature forums for individual pages. Sorry. ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! talk 08:45, October 14, 2021 (EDT)

If you do want somewhere to casually talk about these things, we have the forum site for this purpose. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:09, October 14, 2021 (EDT)

Signature

If you want to use a custom signature, please create a signature page first with the signature code and use {{User:Scarlet Pairo/sig}} to sign, since adding raw code directly to talk pages is not allowed and will be stripped down to a basic signature. Once your signature page has been created, go to your preferences, type {{User:Scarlet Pairo/sig}} in the signature field with "Treat signature as wikitext" checkbox checked and save, then whenever you sign with ~~~~, your signature page will be transcluded.

Re:Dancing Spear Guy

That was something that was there before my first edit on the article, sorry to say. If you haven't already, you could try getting in touch with the foreign-language wikis to see if they can manage to dig up their sources. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:19, October 19, 2021 (EDT)
