Super Mario Encyclopedia
For future reference, we can't cite Super Mario Encyclopedia (the english translation) due to having names originating from the wiki, such as Soarin' Stu. It originates from the wiki. --

- They weren't citing them, they were mentioning the SMBE naming controversy on the subject pages, which should stay on the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia and List of Mario-related controversies pages.

Categories

Hello, Doomdorm64. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file into a subject category. 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. |
Your recent uploads were missing the proper categories. Please replace the {{uncategorized}} template with the proper category, as shown above.

Moving files
You can simply move the file to the lowercase .png extension yourself by clicking the "move" tab at the top of the page. No need to tag it with {{rename}}.

- Also, after moving a file, please make sure that any pages that still link to the old name (by going to Special:WhatLinksHere on the old name redirect page, found under "tools" on the left navigation pane) are edited to link to the new name, and that the old name is then marked for deletion.

Italics
Please also remember to italicise game titles. Mario JC 02:37, 17 January 2019 (EST)
Sprites
For future reference, never, ever, ever, ever, ever save a sprite as a .jpg. That absolutely destroys sprites. Save as a .png.
Furthermore, please upload singular sprites, not full sheets, and do so at their actual size. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:55, 19 January 2019 (EST)
JPG to PNG
When a file is asking for a PNG replacement, it doesn't mean "upload the JPG as a PNG". That is against policy, and the Wario World images you uploaded showed no signs of improvement in any way.
When you do upload a valid image, the links to the old image need to be replaced, as Mario jc reminded you above. This applies to both moved images and replacement images. 11:50, 20 January 2019 (EST)
Aboutfile

Hello, Doomdorm64. 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. A description of the image subject (parameter |
Hello, regarding your recent uploads while you have uploaded images with a properly added {{aboutfile}} template in the past you seem to be forgetting to add the {{aboutfile}} template to your uploads as of 15:17, 19 January 2019 with this image. A reminder of how to do this is listed above this comment. Thanks for your understanding. Doomhiker (talk)
