Mario Kart pages[edit]

Letting you know I updated the Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart 7, and Mario Kart 8 pages with the Mario Kart Tour information you requested. After you make three more edits, you'll be autoconfirmed and able to edit the pages yourself (and you can add something I missed if I did). :) Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 11:55, May 23, 2020 (EDT)

Pictobits[edit]

Hello, just so you know, per MarioWiki:Coverage#Guest appearances, you should make a proposal first before going ahead with creating the official article for Pictobits. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 09:06, April 12, 2022 (EDT)

Uploads[edit]

Hello, Jacklavin. 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, 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, Jacklavin. 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.

A Pictobits image category does exist (Category:Art Style: PiCTOBiTS images), and be sure to check the Mario references page and that category page before uploading so you don't accidentally upload duplicates. Marie costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:07, April 12, 2022 (EDT)
