Italics

Hello, Rykitu! 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.

Also, you can add images to the wiki through Special:Upload. Help:Image and Help:Gallery explain how to then add them to pages. Mario JC 22:33, September 28, 2024 (EDT)

Sorry for not responding in a long time (like you would even care), I now know how to italicize titles and such, I have improved. The only issue is that I can’t figure out how to remove italics from parentheses. I want to un-italicize those because it isn’t apart of the actual title. So if you, or any other admin see my editions to the List of locations by media page and find out I forgot to un-italicize "(coloring/activity books)" from Donkey Kong, that is why.

You do that by creating a piped link:

''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' (Nintendo 64)

Output: Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)

or

[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' (Nintendo 64)]]

Output: Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)

Ok, Thanks!

Uploading images

Don't know how it looks on mobile, but on desktop view at least, the "tools" column on the left has an "upload file" option; the rest of the directions are explained there. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:14, February 23, 2025 (EST)

I know where the option to upload images is. The problem is that the process is so confusing. For example, I tried getting an image for Public Service Announcement (my first ever page) from this Twitter post and I inserted a description, where I got it from, etc. but it would end up as a .jpeg when .png and .jpg were the preferred style. And I was worried that the image was going to show up in low quality or the image showing up very tiny or very large. And since I was still new, I was way too worried about me not doing something right and end up getting a warning by an admin for something I didn't think was wrong. The image for the article has since been added by another user. Rykitu
