Proposals
First, you can't vote or comment on articles if you are not autoconfirmed yet. You'll need to wait for one week and make 10 edits. Second, please don't vote or comment on proposals that have ended. The discussion has ended a long time ago, and this wouldn't affect the final decision. WildWario (talk) 21:00, January 20, 2022 (EST)
File categories
Hello, Dinoshi 64. 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:
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. |

Edit sniping
Just FYI, make sure to ask the uploader before going ahead and adding all of their images to articles (or at least wait a period of time to see if they'd do it), because it's possible they planned to add them themselves soon after uploading them; otherwise it may be considered edit-sniping (taking over someone else's edits right before they were about to make them). (EDIT: Just realised the user doesn't usually add to the non-game pages right away so you may have noticed this, though just in case, it's best to ask in the future, for anyone.)

Italic title
You don't need to add {{italic title}} unless the article title has a game title in it. Mario JC 22:37, February 25, 2023 (EST)

Battle League images
If you're making crops of images from websites, you should upload them in the same format as the original image on the websites (which is JPG in this case). The PNG might be because you're screenshotting the webpage if that's what you're doing, but you can save the source image directly if you right-click it (tap/hold on mobile) and "save image", then crop it on your device.

RE: Your Featured nomination support
Salutations for supporting my nomination of the Crygor article which I have expanded for two months. PnnyCrygr 08:44, March 17, 2023 (EDT)
- Hey, no problem! I think you've done a really good job on that article, Keep up your work on this wiki! Dinoshi 64 Yoshi, Yoshi! 08:48, March 17, 2023 (EDT)
Yoshi doll
According to Blinker, "it's called only "Yoshi" when won in the Trendy Game, but the full name is seen when trading it." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:57, March 31, 2023 (EDT)
- Oh, I didn't know, thank you very much! I'll be adding it shortly to the article. Dinoshi 64 Yoshi, Yoshi! 12:00, March 31, 2023 (EDT)
Its vs it's
FYI "It's" is the contracted form of "it is", and "its" is the possessive pronoun (so "it's remake" is incorrect and shouldn't use an apostrophe). Mario JC 21:01, April 6, 2023 (EDT)
- Hello! Thank you very much for informing me! Sorry if I confuse the two a lot, I'll try my best to correct that. Dinoshi 64 Yoshi, Yoshi! 07:55, April 7, 2023 (EDT)
RE: Removing a vote
If no one else in the proposal has referenced or replied to your vote, you can just outright remove it and place your new vote. Mario JC 09:58, April 7, 2023 (EDT)
About "List of appearances by date (Yoshi)"
In the appearances list located in your sandbox, you could pipe the years of appearances to the list of games by date. For example: [[List of games by date#2003|2003]]
becomes 2003. Just my suggestion, no harm done. PnnyCrygr 05:35, May 18, 2023 (EDT)
