Hello, there! If you want to add images to MarioWiki, please upload them first through Special:Upload. Make sure you follow the instructions there and don't be afraid to ask if you need help on this. Thank you!

When uploading, please make sure to replace "{{uncategorized}}" with an image category link, e.g. [[Category:New Super Mario Bros. U images]] for images from this game (with square brackets, not curly). Also, any lines you're not using from the "aboutfile" summary, like "Other versions", don't need to be filled in and can just be removed entirely.

Recall what I said here; category links should be "images" categories (categories like "Mario forms" are for articles only) and in square brackets without the curly brackets. Mario JC 09:28, June 22, 2023 (EDT)
Previewing edits
| Hello, MisterMarioYT. When editing, if you'd like to see how your edits affect a page, use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save changes" button. This allows you to check over your edits for any errors and make any additional changes or fixes before you save, which will prevent edits from flooding the page history and recent changes. (If you are on mobile, make sure to check the preview page thoroughly before proceeding to save.) Please try to avoid making excessive, consecutive edits to a single page within a short timespan and instead limit them to as few as possible. |
Please preview edits before saving instead of making multiple edits like this trying to fix a mistake. Mario JC 22:42, April 15, 2023 (EDT)
Image categories
|
Hello, MisterMarioYT. 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, 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. |
As I said above, image categories only use "(game) images" categories. Categories like "(game) forms", "objects", "enemies" are for the form, object, and enemy articles only (e.g. Super Mario (form), ? Block, Goomba), not for files. Mario JC 01:33, June 24, 2023 (EDT)
