Uploads[edit]
|
Hello, Scarlet Pairo. 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.

Hello, Scarlet Pairo. 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.

Also, if you're uploading a better version of an existing image that's the same format, click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link under "File history" on the existing image's page, instead of uploading it separately.  Mario JC 22:18, October 12, 2021 (EDT)
Talk pages[edit]
Talk pages are only for discussing changes on articles, not for talking about childhood memories or excitement about upcoming subjects. Anything like those will be removed.  Nightwicked Bowser  08:42, October 14, 2021 (EDT)
Oh okay, I thought they were miniature forums for individual pages. Sorry. ☆Scarlet Pairo☆  talk 08:45, October 14, 2021 (EDT)
- If you do want somewhere to casually talk about these things, we have the forum site for this purpose. Nightwicked Bowser 13:09, October 14, 2021 (EDT)
Signature[edit]
If you want to use a custom signature, please create a signature page first with the signature code and use {{User:Scarlet Pairo/sig}} to sign, since adding raw code directly to talk pages is not allowed and will be stripped down to a basic signature. Once your signature page has been created, go to your preferences, type {{User:Scarlet Pairo/sig}} in the signature field with "Treat signature as wikitext" checkbox checked and save, then whenever you sign with ~~~~, your signature page will be transcluded.

Re:Dancing Spear Guy[edit]
That was something that was there before my first edit on the article, sorry to say. If you haven't already, you could try getting in touch with the foreign-language wikis to see if they can manage to dig up their sources. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:19, October 19, 2021 (EDT)
Okay, thanks for letting me now! ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 07:35, October 20, 2021 (EDT)
RE: Donkey Kong Wiki[edit]
Hi, buddy. I'm on this site, because I have images on my Wii emulator that only a few can to rip. ChristopherPAraujo (talk) 00:17, October 23, 2021 (EDT)
Re: Howdy :)[edit]
Hi, I'm alright thank you, how are you? Thank you, the art on your userpage looks really good too! I can't say I do have any ideas for userboxes at the moment, I'm afraid. And just a heads-up about responding on other people's talk pages, it's fine to respond to comments on other people's talk pages as long as you're not speaking over them, but it's usually not a great idea to respond to older messages- I'd already resolved that issue on Doc von Schmeltwick's talk page. Not a problem, just something to keep in mind for future reference. BBQ Turtle (talk) 12:18, October 24, 2021 (EDT)
Oki doki, I'll keep that in mind. Say, would you like to trade userboxes? ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 12:22, October 24, 2021 (EDT)
- Of course! You should be able to spot mine fairly easily one my userpage. :) BBQ Turtle (talk) 17:08, October 30, 2021 (EDT)
- Okay :D ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 17:12, October 30, 2021 (EDT)
Personal images[edit]
|
You currently have too many personal files.
Users are limited to a maximum of five personal files, which can be used on your user page and/or for a signature on talk pages (see the personal file policy for details). Please select the personal files you would like to keep and mark all others for deletion using the {{delete}} template. If you have not relinquished your extra files within one week of receiving this notice, five files will be selected for retention at random, and the rest will be deleted. If you continue uploading more files and exceeding the limit, then a warning will be issued.
|
You currently have 8 personal images uploaded, please select at least 3 of these for deletion.
Also, I see you've recently created an account on the Mario Boards. If you'd like to showcase more of your art, you're definitely welcome to do it there! Plenty of users have their own art threads. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 14:19, October 24, 2021 (EDT)
Media Files[edit]
Hi, the media files you upload should only be 30 seconds or lower. If you need more details, you can read Help:Media. Also, ogg audio files should be changed to "oga" when uploading.  WildWario (talk) 09:02, October 30, 2021 (EDT)
- Thanks for reminding me. ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 09:06, October 30, 2021 (EDT)
- Oh, I forgot to tell you, oga is just the audio variation of ogg. You just have to change the word when uploading the file. For example, if you are uploading (insert file name here).ogg, just change the ogg word to oga. WildWario (talk) 10:32, November 6, 2021 (EDT)
- That's great to hear, thanks! Now I can get back to editing that article. ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk
Awesome, another Donkey Kong fan[edit]
I'm Results May Vary, I run banjokazooiewiki.com, conker.rarewiki.com, crashbandicootwiki.com, and several other wikis. Glad to meet you! (feel free to pop into one of my wiki's Discord servers) Results May Vary (talk) 20:37, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
- It was only a matter of time before two DK fans crossed on this Wiki! :D I'll go check out your wikis, once I'm done editing right now. ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 20:41, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
- I made sure that dkwiki.com had all its info safely integrated into this wiki back in 2018-2019 during the merge. Results May Vary (talk) 20:43, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
- Oh, must've been difficult, I suppose. I've never been there, though, I only really knew the Donkey Kong Fandom. ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 20:45, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
- It was quite the task, yep Results May Vary (talk) 10:42, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
- Also, it's easier for me to talk to others in direct messaging on like Discord or something, so feel free to join one of the aforementioned wiki's Discords (i recommend pinging me to get my attention, as i don't often go on discord servers themselves, seeing as i work on wikis so much) to stay on contact more easily. :) Results May Vary (talk) 17:38, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
RE: Friend request![edit]
I would be happy to be friends, we can chat on mario boards if you want :)MiracleDinner (talk) 11:25, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
Invincible Mario proposal[edit]
Hi, is your proposal regarding Invincible Mario meant to be an actual proposal or just an attempt to gauge opinions? The reason I ask is because it doesn't follow any of the correct proposal formatting (which you can find on MarioWiki:Proposals), along with a Neutral option which doesn't really work in a proposal (either something is done by the end or not, there's no reason to vote neutral). If it was meant to be a proposal, I'm happy to fix it for you, but if you were just trying to see if people would be receptive to your idea, you should really just start a normal discussion for that. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:14, November 6, 2021 (EDT)
- Hello, Sorry for the false formatting, I intended it to be an actual proposal. Thanks a lot for your help! ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 12:17, November 6, 2021 (EDT)
- Everything is mostly taken care of, though you should add some information before the voting headers regarding what the proposal is about and why you think your proposed changes would be beneficial. The reasoning you gave for your vote is probably sufficient and can just be copied there, if you want. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:34, November 6, 2021 (EDT)
- Uhm.. yeah, sure! ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 12:56, November 6, 2021 (EDT)
Moving files[edit]
After renaming a file, make sure you change any articles still linking to the old name so that they link to the new name, then mark the old file name redirect with {{delete}}. You'll find the list of articles on Special:WhatLinksHere (the "What links here" link under "tools" on the navigation pane while you're on the redirect page). Mario JC 21:42, November 6, 2021 (EDT)
- Okay, thanks for letting me know :) ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 21:43, November 6, 2021 (EDT)
Re: Uploading videos[edit]
See Help:Media. I used the website online-convert.com. Results May Vary (talk) 13:54, November 9, 2021 (EST)
Your shop[edit]
Sorry to rain on your parade, but userspace shops aren't allowed per MarioWiki:Userspace. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 19:05, November 12, 2021 (EST)
- Oh, I thought that only applied to subpages? Oh well.. do you have any idea where else I could put it? ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 19:07, November 12, 2021 (EST)
- You could try running a shop on the forums if you'd like, there's no rules against them there as far as I'm aware. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 19:20, November 12, 2021 (EST)
- Okay, I'll see how that goes :) ☆Scarlet Pairo☆ talk 19:21, November 12, 2021 (EST)
Re: Happy birthday![edit]
Thank you! :D How did you know it's my birthday btw? Results May Vary (talk) 09:41, November 20, 2021 (EST)
- Ohhhh right, yeah I did say it's my birthday :) Results May Vary (talk) 09:12, November 22, 2021 (EST)
Talk has been archived[edit]
Just notifying you know that I've archived my talk page Results May Vary (talk) 13:31, December 11, 2021 (EST)
Re: Nintendo Power[edit]
There's a downloadable issue here. Results May Vary (talk) 14:22, December 11, 2021 (EST)
- No prob :D Results May Vary (talk) 14:50, December 11, 2021 (EST)
Hello, Scarlet Pairo! Thanks for your contributions. When writing titles for media like games, films, TV shows, and publications, please remember to italicize them. This is done by placing two straight apostrophes (not quotation marks or curly apostrophes) on both sides of the title, or clicking on the I icon above the text box and typing out the title. For example, typing out ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generates Super Mario Bros.
If you are using a device that uses curly ("smart") punctuation, you may need to disable this function in your device's settings to be able to type out the correct apostrophes.

Re: Super Donkey Kong 3 guide[edit]
welcome back bud. Also there are no scans online -- I own a physical copy & scan it via my Epson V600 Perfection scanner. Results May Vary (talk) 17:23, March 29, 2022 (EDT)
Kracka image[edit]
Unfortunately, the image scans of the kodansha guide are .jpg themselves, so they should be uploaded as .jpg. It's an easy mistake to make, and I'm guilty of doing that myself, but the way to check what kind of file they are is to right-click and select "save image as." The proper extension will be shown in the new window. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:10, March 2, 2023 (EST)
