Hello, Macharv. 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, 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.

Hello, Macharv. 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 1) should always be included, even if it's just a couple words. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Also, please keep file names professional and descriptive of what the image shows (for example, something like "File:SMPJ (minigame title).jpg" is enough). Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC 08:02, September 8, 2024 (EDT)

You still didn't correctly fill out the file summaries. Make sure you fill in the parameters you're using and remove the ones you're not using (like "Describe edits, if any"), and the "{{uncategorized}}" text should be replaced with: [[Category:Super Mario Party Jamboree images]]

If you're unsure about anything, please ask. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC 08:24, September 10, 2024 (EDT)

You should also upload what you have now and then add them all at once to the page, rather than uploading and adding them one or few at a time as you go since this can flood the history and recent changes pages with edits.

Image sources?

Hi, I know you're excited to upload images for Super Mario Party Jamboree and all, but do you have any sources for the images you're uploading? It's definitely encouraged to do so (even if you uploaded them yourself), and I also would like to use the sources you find if there are more minigames and minigame titles to be confirmed.
