Aboutfile
|
Hello, Metalex123. 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. |
Just a heads up. If you're not sure what to fill out, just leave it blank.

Hey, recently you've been editing TPPs that have already been settled, you are only allowed to edit them if they are currently being voted on. Yoshi876 (talk)
- Ok then, tell me why are Ashley & Red still in the same article if the majority voted that they should be in separate articles? --Metalex123 (talk) 17:51, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
Moving page based on Japanese names
Just FYI, the wiki's has an huge problem with properly sourcing names, and as you can tell from the sitenotice, it's something we're trying to fight. Before moving pages to the "official Japanese name" (as you did with several DK64 enemies over the past few days), try finding a source for the name in question. --Glowsquid (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2015 (EDT)
- Well then sorry for moving pages to the only "official" name that was shown on the page (for example, the Ghost Book's japanese name was apparently "Cheato". I don't know if it was true or not, but it was the only "official" name shown on the "In other languages" category; same for the other pages I moved.). If I was wrong, then sorry for moving these pages. Sincerely, Metalex123 (talk) 17:31, 10 April 2015 (EDT)

Oh, thanks for that. I'm aware of the old state of Mushroom World, as I voted in the proposal and I was the one who overhauled the page once that proposal passed. I was actually hunting down all Mushroom World links that are used like that and trying to invoke how ridiculous the attempts were to tie Mushroom Kingdom to Donkey Land. It's fine to interpret Mushroom World as Mario's planet and to like the article's old state, but the concept of Mario's planet is insignificant in the eyes of the games and even other media, so that's why we don't cover it. I find the concept of Mario's planet and all interesting too, but it's almost like making articles on something like Mushroom Universe and All worlds, which were articles before.
