Image Category Reminder

Hello, GashomyWiki. 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:

Images Audio/video files

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.

Sorry, I didn't know that. Thank you for your advice :) An image for my user page (Talk to me!) 04:21, 26 September 2016 (EDT)

Signature

You are supposed to use User:GashomyWiki/sig to store your signature. I see raw code inserted from our last conversation. See MarioWiki:Signatures about our policy regarding them and Help:Signature on how to set it up properly. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 03:18, 28 September 2016 (EDT)

Another Image Category Reminder

Here's a tip that could have been mentioned better the last time you received a reminder like this: The categories for which you can add new images to are formatted like this: [[Category:<name of game> Images]]. Thank you and keep on contributing. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 12:09, 8 January 2017 (EST)

Disambiguation

Hi, just a friendly reminder: it's good that you fixed the links on your recent move, but be sure to also change the previous title into a disambiguation page if it's about adding an identifier and if no two pages are the primary topic, which was the case here. Check out the Game & Watch: Manhole page as an example I did for you. Thanks! Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 13:02, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
