Uploads[edit]

Hello, ArmiMason. 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.

Hello, ArmiMason. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common:

  • {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects.
  • {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character.
  • {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic.
  • {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books.
  • {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows.
  • {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies.
  • {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube.

When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}.

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please remember to categorise and add a license and description to your files rather than leaving the file page empty. For a screenshot from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, for example, you need to replace {{uncategorized}} with [[Category:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Images]] and select "Video game screenshot" from the "Licensing" drop-down menu when you upload. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 08:55, May 16, 2020 (EDT)

Please recall the above reminders. Files should not be uploaded with the summary/page empty. I suggest going to Special:Upload to upload (you'll find the link under "tools" on the navigation pane) rather than the editing box's uploader. Otherwise, at least add the following in the text box when you upload:

==Summary==
Description of the image.

==Licensing==
{{game-screenshot}}

[[Category:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Images]]

Then change the category name and license according to the image you're uploading, as explained in the reminders. Continuing to upload without providing proper file information may result in a warning. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:28, November 3, 2020 (EST)
