Uploads

Hello, Shy Guy on Wheels. 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.

Thanks for uploading music for the battle courses of Mario Kart 7! However, you're not filling out the {{aboutfile}} or removing it entirely. Please fill it out, or if you're not sure what to include, you can delete it entirely.
The files are also lacking a category, but Category:Mario Kart 7 Media doesn't exist, so... 12:41, 11 February 2017 (EST)

Image Categories

Whenever you add a category to an image, you should write it as [[Category:Mario Kart Wii Images]] instead of {{Mario Kart Wii Images}}, as the second one is for Template:Mario Kart Wii Images, which doesn't exist. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 06:49, 14 February 2017 (EST)

Pink Gold Peach template dispute

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that {{just released}} is not the correct template when referring to a section of a character. This template must only be used in game articles, as a header. The correct template to use is {{new subject}}, as the section refers to the character's appearance in the game, rather than the game as a whole. Thanks and keep on contributing. ^(T|C) 09:13, 10 March 2017 (EST)

That's alright. Just be sure to remember for next time.

Boo

Actually it DOES make sense, All the other Paper Mario games that had boos as enemies had a giant boo to fight. Pikmin theories (talk) 13:53, 12 March 2017 (EDT)

LordSansey

Hi. Do you happen to know the recently created account LordSansey (talk)? I've noticed using CheckUser that you share the same IP address. Mario JC 23:35, 21 March 2017 (EDT)

I've Never Heard Of The User Up Until Now. Is It Definitely The Same IP Address?
Shy Guy on Wheels

^(T|C|S) 04:54, 22 March 2017 (EDT)

Okay. I checked again it just seems your IP is dynamic and both happened to be the same (OS info was also near-identical which was what threw me off). Sorry for bothering you.

Your style of typing

Unless you have some sort of technical issue, can you please Stop Typing Like This? It's Very Difficult To Read When You Type Like This. Ray Trace^(T|C) 13:46, 25 March 2017 (EDT)

Sorry, I'm just used to typing that way. I'll try not to type like that if it's a big enough problem, but I might forget sometimes.

I'm just letting you know that I have issues with legibility. It's difficult to break habits but I'm sure you can try and succeed. I'm not going to rag on you if you forget, regardless.

Just a little thank you

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for sorting out that little thing on the Spiked Ball page that I rewrote today. I know it's only something small, but thanks for sorting it out. I thought I would have made loads more mistakes than that! But thank you so, so much! :D BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:16, 27 March 2017 (EDT)

My talk page

Thanks for adding this, but there wasn't a need to do so. If I needed to put that there, I would have. Part of rule 1 on my page is users don't have to sign their comments on my talk page, so no need to worry about it. I can tell who gave me the message. Not a problem, just a FYI. 12:05, 18 April 2017 (EDT)

This November, Make Strategies to Remember

Hi, Shy Guy on Wheels!
Please PM your Strategy Wing section(s) to me on the forums by November 17th^th. If something happens and there's any concern that you can't send your section in on time please let me know and we'll work something out! *Sincerely,* `Hooded Pitohui- 13:45 EST`

Looking ahead, our December issue will be themed after the Shroobs and will be celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Do think about ways to theme your sections if possible. Aliens, babies, time travel, the game itself, it's all fair game! If you feel particularly inspired, one-off special sections are quite welcome, too! It's important to focus on this month first, but it's not a bad idea to start thinking for next month.

Bloated page size on MKDS and MKW

It has been dealt with, by replacing the stat bars with a template I created, both pages have gone down over 40,000 bytes apiece. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:43, July 3, 2024 (EDT)

MKDD special items image

It was removed from a *different* table. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:58, November 9, 2024 (EST)

I was completely aware of this fact when undoing your edit, this does not change any of the reasons it was removed in the first place. Shy Guy on Wheels

^(T|C|S) 16:20, November 9, 2024 (EST)

It was removed in the first place to keep the amount of images per row at one because it was messing with their sizes. This is not an issue for this one. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:36, November 9, 2024 (EST)

Then I will refer back to the reasons I undid your edit. Adding a moving image to an otherwise static article is rather distracting, and it adds no value or information to the article that the text does not. Shy Guy on Wheels
