to name the file before it exists on MarioWiki, you can insert the [[Help:Image|markup]] first and then upload the image by clicking on the red link it will generate. When the page that had the redlink is refreshed after uploading, the image will appear automatically. I use this trick almost all the time.

== Re: Your sig == | |||
Hi! My sig uses the current date in a switch to determine what to display. You can view the source code of it any time to see how it works, but here's a summary. | |||
<nowiki>{{#switch:{{CURRENTDAY}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}} | |||
|#default=it's me | |||
|1-1=it's New Year | |||
|21-6=it's summer | |||
|31-12=it's New Years eve | |||
}}</nowiki> | |||
The top line is the start of the switch, which contains the date. #default is used if the date doesn't match the specified ones underneath it.<br> | |||
Following lines each contain a date and the text to be shown on that date. The date is formatted as dd-mm, in numbers and without leading zeroes.<br> | |||
Note the | and = characters, those are required as that is part of the switch.<br> | |||
You can place pretty much everything in every sig you want. Mine has different colours and greets for example. | |||
I hope this helped you out :) Good luck! {{User:Lakituthequick/sig}} 13:02, 23 March 2016 (EDT) | |||

== Categorizing images == | |||
Hey there. Just a friendly reminder to categorize images by game as you upload them. For example, <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Super Mario Maker Images]]</nowiki></tt> | |||
Thanks for reading, and keep contributing. | |||

Just be sure to use [[:File:SMM funny death.gif]] somewhere on your userpage. If you don't, it will appear [[Special:UnusedFiles]] and may have its tag be changed to {{tem|personal-file-abandoned}}. Also, you have one more slot open for a personal image as far as I can tell. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 17:19, 29 July 2016 (EDT) | |||
:I'm going to, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. How long do I have? --{{User:Captain Toad/sig}} 12:41, 30 July 2016 (EDT) | |||
::Doesn't matter now because it is linked. I don't think there is a duration. It can just happen. I've tagged a few abandoned images in [[Special:UnusedFiles]] attempting to clear it out. If a user notices a personal image deletion that they didn't want to happen, they can just ask a sysop for it to be restored. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 15:51, 1 August 2016 (EDT) | |||
