Microgame bugs

Please can you give more detail and preferably a source about these microgames being "broken"? Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 17:17, March 19, 2021 (EDT)

The way you put those references in was not how we do it. You may want to see the corrections Ray Trace and Waluigi Time made for that. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 17:24, March 19, 2021 (EDT)
Ok i definetly will, thanks for the heads up! S o m e t h i n g o n e ! Red Bandit.png 17:26, March 19, 2021 (EDT)

Uploads

Hello, thanks for your uploads, though keep in mind that files need to include an image category and license in addition to a description. (I realise you used the text editor's uploader function to upload, but I suggest using Special:Upload in the future since it's easier to do this.)

On the Special:Upload page, in the "Summary" box, fill in the "aboutfile" details (remove any unused parameters) and replace "{{uncategorized}}" with an appropriate image category link. To find it, go to Category:Images and follow the subcategories until you've found the right one (in the case of your most recent uploads, go to "Images by system" and you'll find "Nintendo GameCube Images") and add the link to the summary as [[Category:Nintendo GameCube Images]]. Select the appropriate license from the drop-down menu (in this case, the correct one would be "Promotional photo"), then click "Upload file".

Thanks for the info, im still a little confused on this whole wiki editing thing but this info will definetly help me in the future. thanks!{{User:Somethingone}} 08:39, April 13, 2021 (EST)

Proposal voting

When putting your vote in a proposal, you are supposed to type your username like this: #{{user|Somethingone}}, the signature only needs to be there if you are leaving a comment. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 11:23, April 19, 2021 (EDT) Ok! #{{user|Somethingone}}

The "nowiki" code was only there so I could show you what you need to type, when signing your comments outside of proposal voting, you just need to type four "~". Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 11:34, April 19, 2021 (EDT)

I don't you understood the above comment. Only use four "~" at the end of comments. NOT votes. Typing four "~" creates a signature with a timestamp. Do it like this. Dark BonesSig.png 16:18, April 21, 2021 (EDT)

"Formatting"

Do you happen to be using a grammar-check tool like Grammarly in your edits? If you are, please be more careful with it and try not to rely on it too much, as it's occasionally incorrectly fixing things on articles that were already correct before (e.g. changing "versus" (as in versus mode) to "verses", changing the phrase "plug in" to the word "plugin", omitting the space before the question marks in "? Block", and changing "colour" to "color" on a British English description). Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:23, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

Noted. I'll be aware of that in the future. Somethingone (talk) 09:40, June 19, 2021 (EDT)

You're still doing this. False positives are still being picked up and quotes and descriptions keep getting changed. Please check over every grammar fix (or just correct the page yourself) or a formal reminder may be issued. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:41, June 27, 2021 (EDT)

Cactus

Actually, either is acceptable, though since Minecraft's updates say it as "cacti" we should indeed go with that for this case. (This is notably contrary to "octopi" just being patently wrong). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:05, June 20, 2021 (EDT)

Vandalism

What that anon did still counts as vandalism since it's blatantly replacing valid information with something unrelated. MarioWiki:Vandalism explains this more clearly. Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 15:49, June 21, 2021 (EDT)

Noted, It was just weird seeing vandalism that wasn't a one-sentence edit since that's what usually happens.

Music files

In case you decide to upload more in the future, music files must be trimmed to 30 seconds or less with a fadeout applied per Help:Media#Music clips. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:31, July 25, 2021 (EDT)

Archiving proposals

You keep forgetting to archive your proposals. Try to remember to do this from now on. Dark BonesSig.png 20:42, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
