Image Category Reminder
|
Hello, Eldritchdraaks. 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, images related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]]or one it its subcategories. Media files would use: [[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. |
Several of your Battle Card uploads were missing Category:Paper Mario: Color Splash Images. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 01:46, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- They weren't missing, I just hadn't uploaded them yet. They should all be there now, and I'll start working on the enemy cards soon.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 02:35, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- I don't care if you are in the process of uploading cards by clicking on red links. I do that all the time. What I was referring to was that images need to have additional categories besides their copyright status, as described by the blue box above. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 02:54, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- I started adding those when I began putting in the thing cards, but I was having troubling getting it right. I'll fix it soon if it hasn't been done already.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 03:00, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- Oh, I just thought you didn't know how we categorize things here, especially file uploads for this case. Try a copy-paste method when editing the summary of the upload page. If you lose track of your uploads, MarioWiki logs them. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 03:08, 24 October 2016 (EDT)

Battle Card
Yes, there are several cards in the game, but that doesn't mean the page title has to refer to more than one as well. Page titles here are generally named in singular form, unless they're something like a group (e.g. Five Fun Guys, Chosen Toads). We also have other pages Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star), Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) and Battle Card, so for the sake of consistency, there's no need to pluralise it. 
Mario JC 02:03, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- My apologies then. I'm new and didn't know this.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 02:35, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
Moving Files
When you're moving files, make sure to tag the file redirects with {{delete}}, which I just did as a demonstration. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 02:07, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- ok. Thanks, I think?Eldritchdraaks (talk)
Art vs. Sprite
MarioWiki wants both. Don't overwrite artwork with a sprite. Upload sprite as a separate image. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 02:56, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
- Alright, thank you. I thought I was doing good by updating those with newer images, but I understand.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 02:58, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
Reminder
| Please stop creating new stub articles on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing. If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it. |
It is against our rules to create stub articles, which is what all of your recent articles have been. When creating an article, it is your job to make sure it has all necessary information. If you continue to create stub articles you will receive further warnings. Yoshi876 (talk)

Moving files
Hi there, great work with all the Color Splash images that you've been uploading! Just a quick tip: when you move a file to a different title, remember to tag the redirect with {{Delete}}, rather than blanking the page. This way, the unneeded page will show up in Category:To be deleted, and an administrator will come along and delete it soon. Thanks, and keep up the great work.
Shokora (talk · edits) 11:15, 25 October 2016 (EDT)
- alright thanks you, I'll keep that in mind from now on. I'm thankful that people have been so helpful to me so far in pointing out my mistakes.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 12:30, 25 October 2016 (EDT)
RE: Paint Star Images?
The game's website. Also, you intended to add the Paint Star icon you created, know that they're aren't allow on main article pages, as they are fan material.

- Really? do the pages for each course count as main articles?Eldritchdraaks (talk) 14:54, 26 October 2016 (EDT)
RE: Prism Island Map
- Well, up on spriters resource are the png files that make up the entire prism island map. using those, one can put it all together in photoshop to recreate the map in its original resolution of 6000x3462. Of course it'd be scaled down to meet the 10mb file limit. I just wanted to know if it's alright to upload that here, or if its not allowed?Eldritchdraaks (talk) 02:57, 29 October 2016 (EDT)
Edit reversion
Hello. Rather than reverting someone's valid edit without an explanation, it would have been best to approach them on their talk page if you had a concern about their change. In future, please make sure to insert a reason for the undo in the "Summary" box before saving the edit.
For this particular case, it was unnecessary to count off all the predecessors of the Paper Mario series in the one sentence, as this information is found within the linked Paper Mario series article. It is more succinct and makes a lot more sense to just state the game that Color Splash succeeded, which was the aim of that sentence. Thanks for your consideration.
Shokora (talk · edits) 15:44, 2 November 2016 (EDT)
- I apologize. I'll revert it. I had previously thought it was unnecessary to make that change and that it may have been a slight jab at Color Splash's success when compared to the previous titles, only being better than Sticker Star. This is no longer the case though.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2016 (EDT)
- Not a problem.
RE: Roshambo Temple tokens
I personally don't see the problem with how I worded it, but sure, I think it can be worded better than what I wrote. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 05:06, 5 November 2016 (EDT)
Re: Paper Mario series
Re: PMCS Chain Chomp
Other template such as {{ML:PIT}} and {{ML:BIS}} have enemies that can't be attack (directly) too such as Shroob Chomp Bowser Memory Boo etc. I don't think this should be an exception. (If that makes sense). (talk) (edits) 16:57, 9 November 2016 (EST)
- No, see, the point I'm making here is that they don't attack you, and you don't attack them. They're an npc.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2016 (EST)
RE:Big Paint Stars
It really doesn't. The height of the table doesn't matter. It looks wrong with the text wrapped around the image, especially when the text is just the name of a Koopaling. That's the only place I've seen that on the wiki and it looks wrong. I'm going to change it back.
(--) 22:14, 9 November 2016 (EST)
- Just to clarify, do you mean the images I added are wrong, or the line break?Eldritchdraaks (talk) 22:18, 9 November 2016 (EST)
- The line break.
- (--) 22:20, 9 November 2016 (EST)
- I'm saying that there should be a line break. The text should not wrap around the image.
- (--) 22:30, 9 November 2016 (EST)
- The text shouldn't have been wrapping around the image, the text should've been able to fit all on one line.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 22:34, 9 November 2016 (EST)
Replace Images
I see you are uploading screenshots for Paper Mario: Color Splash. I have two images that need replacing: File:Black Lava Bubbles.jpeg and File:Wild Dino Rhinos.jpeg. Can you do it? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 22:37, 10 November 2016 (EST)
- Yes. I'll get to it later.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 22:43, 10 November 2016 (EST)
- You only have one image to replace now. At the time, File:PMCS BlackBowsersCastle05.jpg wasn't uploaded when File:Black Lava Bubbles.jpeg was (unless you feel that a 1280x720 version should be uploaded for the not deleted image). The only image still in need of a replacement (if you can still do it) is File:Wild Dino Rhinos.jpeg. Thanks for your consideration. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 18:19, 11 November 2016 (EST)
Color Splash Bestiary
You are doing a good job with Paper Mario: Color Splash. I say that a Bestiary similar to Sticker Star's needs to be created soon to be consistent with the other RPGs. Think you can handle that? 
Yoshi the SSM (talk) 01:29, 13 November 2016 (EST)
- Wow. I mean, I'd like to, but I have no clue how to get the stats of the enemies in that game!
02:03, 13 November 2016 (EST)
- I can easily do that, Leave that to me. :) (talk) (edits) 02:35, 13 November 2016 (EST)
- Well then I guess I'll do it. but first I'll need ALL the stats from User: The RPG Gamer. -- 03:21, 13 November 2016 (EST)

Color Splash sprites
I can't actually rip sprites, only if they came from the Spriter's Resource. And thanks for asking, but I'm going to decline the offer to upload Color Splash sprites, first of all, I'm already busy working on another project here on MarioWiki and second, I actually have to start caring about Color Splash itself to have any interest contributing to it. 
Ray Trace(T|C) 13:14, 13 November 2016 (EST)
- As my sister said, I appreciate the request, but I am not invested in it, and I cannot rip Color Splash anyhow, even if I did have access to the tools.
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:35, 14 November 2016 (EST)
Italics
Great work you're doing for Color Splash! Just remember that whenever you write a game title on articles, it should be in italics, like so: ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' (which becomes: Paper Mario: Color Splash). Thanks and keep contributing! Mario JC 22:49, 14 November 2016 (EST)
- Another way to italicise is by doing <i>this</i> or <em>this</em>. (talk) (edits) 23:02, 14 November 2016 (EST)
- Alright.-- 23:32, 14 November 2016 (EST)
- Alright.--
Happy birthday!
Just wanted to let you know that I remembered the date of your birthday :D Have a cake (no Koopaling included):
Enjoy your day!
