Italics

Hello, P-Tux7! 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.

PNG Monstrous

Just so you're aware, reuploading images purely for the sake of optimizing the file size is highly discouraged by the image use policy. SGoW^(Talk) 12:55, March 17, 2025 (EDT)

Hello, please heed the above message. Uploading just to reduce the file size is unnecessary when there's no change to the actual image and if anything only uses up storage space on the server. Mario JC 06:28, March 20, 2025 (EDT)

I would very strongly suggest reading and heeding the above messages, as you are continuing to do this. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:27, March 21, 2025 (EDT)

What's wrong with it? The image use policy says to consider people with slow or metered connections (especially mobile internet). I remember the days of dial-up and there are still people with that sort of connection. In fact, The Spriter's Resource is frequently laggy or even browser-crashing for me due to all its images on busy pages using too much RAM. I understand that this takes up more server space, but it ultimately services our users - the people whom the contributors to MarioWiki serve - by taking less of their time to load, less of their RAM, and less of their bandwidth. I would also like to point out that even recently-uploaded images are not compressed with PNG Monstrous when they could be, including yours. I would not have to optimize the images if they were optimized before they were uploaded. That's understandable for old images, but today, we know better. P-Tux7 (talk)

I used to be on ViaSat, one of the slowest and most heavily metered connections that still exists, and beaming through a forest no less. I never had issues with the small images on Mariowiki or TSR. I don't use Monstrous, and I don't think other people should, because it tends to screw up the metadata and causes colors to display incorrectly. Either way, you should focus less on me asking you not do so and more on the wiki bureaucrat asking you not to. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 09:37, March 21, 2025 (EDT)
