Aboutfile Warning

Hello, Andymii. 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. 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.

Please add information into the aboutfile, blank it if you don't know. ~~ Boo4761

Your article

Hi there, great work with your Cold Water page, but if you are unsure of how to make the image display, please ask an experienced user who can explain so you don't flood the recent changes, thanks. Epic Rosalina 18:09, 6 March 2014 (EST)

Welcoming users

When users join, the wiki automatically generates the Welcome template for them (it's just temporary), and we don't actually encourage users to welcome new accounts en masse anymore (to cut down on wasted time and space). If someone's sticking around or you need to contact them anyway, it's fine, but if they just made one or two edits, don't bother. - Walk azo 22:42, 24 January 2015 (EST)

'Shroom Idea

One of the ideas you mentioned on the Main Page discussion isn't part of Community Report, and it seemed a decent idea for a section. This would be the "Recently Created Articles", listing all articles (you can avoid redirects) created in the past month. If you wish to do this section, it falls under Pipe Plaza jurisdiction so PM me an application. Yoshi876 (talk)

Thanks

Thanks for showing me how to make my images small. MarioKart7player (talk) 08:46, 10 February 2015 (EST)

Apologies for being late on getting reminders out, it's been a little hectic of a month. I need your sections in by the 19th, please, as the issue comes out the 21st! Thank you! Palkia47 (talk)

Guess Who

Yo, just popping in to let you know I guessed all the characters in your quiz correctly. However, I'd also like to say you got mixed up on Bowser's voice being Boo's voice sped up. It's actually Boo who is a sped-up version of Bowser's voice. Anyway I doubt I'd be able to guess all of them without being the Mario RPG fanatic that I am. Good job. -- 16:18, 21 February 2015 (EST)

Hello, this is Warioad checking in to say that I knew all the characters in this month's section without looking at the answers. Warioad (talk) 16:49, 25 February 2015 (EST)

Got them all right! First three were easy, I knew it was someone from Paper Mario and process of elimination helped for Goombario, and Bowser was helped by the ally part.Mkbw50 (talk) 19:59, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

Friends?

I want to be friends with you. It's ok if you say no. I try to be nice to stragers! User:Mario Kart 7 Rules (talk edits) 21:20, 3 March 2015 (EST)

Again, apologies for being late, again a little hectic of a month and especially these last few days x_X! Anyways, like last month, issue comes out the 21st, so I need your section by the 19th please! Thank you :). Palkia47 (talk)

Reword the proposal

I reword the proposal, do I do it in time and do I do it right? Also, thanks to help me with this proposal (it was my first one) --^(TALK) 19:42, 18 March 2015 (EDT)

I think I fix my wording now...--

Grammar Police

I noticed you said you are a grammar police user on the main talk page. Would you like to add a userbox about it? I have one you can use, or you can make your own. If you would like mine, you can copy and paste it off my userpage, or I will put its code in here for you. Warioad (talk) 15:50, 22 March 2015 (EDT)

I thought I said you could in my initial comment, but yes. Would you like me to give you the code or would you rather copy and paste it off my userpage yourself? Warioad (talk) 17:12, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

Is there any reason you're going through talk pages and removing the {{talk}} template from them? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Fun Stuff Guess Who Idea

Hey there! I have an idea for next time! It is going to be Mario Kart characters and here are my clues that lead to Lakitu:

He has a cloud with a smile.
He carries a traffic light to signal when to begin racing.
He is one of the playable characters in MK7 and MK8

I hope you'll enjoy it! Burningdragon25 (talk)

RE: 'Shroom Spotlight request

Not for the next issue, I'm afraid, I have already received a request for the rewrite tag for that issue. I can't use it for July either, as what with it being the Special Issue I do already have some plans for that one. However, I can include it for the August issue if that is alright with you? Yoshi876 (talk)

Cool, remind me again when we get closer to August to make sure I don't forget. Yoshi876 (talk)

Hey, Andy! I just wanted to say good luck in regards to the Poll Chairperson Election! Naturally, no firings will take place in Fun Stuff, or I'd probably be fired for mismanagement of power ;___;. Haha but either way, good luck bud, I look forward to this race :'D! Palkia47 (talk)

About the Poll Committee Application

Hi Andymii, I fell on the subject by chance and it interests me. I want to know how and where to send the sample of the poll that I create myself. Thanks helping me!!--^(TALK) 23:27, 13 December 2015 (EST)

I send it on the forum, i just wanted to know if you received it correctly.--

JPEG Woes

You are likely experiencing EXIF problems, the metadata that JPEGs use. I think web browsers don't read that data or don't factor it when displaying the final image. I think you are performing Lossless Rotation. Real rotation can cause JPEG artifacts to intensify because of its lossy compression algorithm. Save to PNG, although the images will be bigger in file size. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 20:22, 26 December 2015 (EST)

On your Guess Who section in Issue 105 of The 'Shroom

I have to tell you that even if you didn't distinguish between "didn't" and "did not", the last question in the aforementioned section would have been ambiguous as that would have meant there would have been two answers. As it is (you distinguished between "didn't" and "did not") you could swap them around and get that the Ice Flower didn't appear in Super Mario Galaxy while the Penguin Suit did not appear in Super Mario Galaxy. And that's it.

Wii U Images

Lately I have been working on a page about uploading good screenshots and learned that it is possible to use the Wii U's built-in web browser to upload screenshots to MarioWiki directly instead of using Miiverse. See here. I bring it up because you recently uploaded File:MK8 Shell Glitch.jpeg; a 800x450 image. You can just select Upload a new version of this file without needing to make edits to the pages that reference the file. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:44, 11 February 2016 (EST)

About the "Silly Stories, by you!" Contest

I just love your contest! I lol'd when I read your story containing my entry of Mario stuffing a jack-in-the-box in the Trump's toilet. Keep up the good work! LegoMarioBros (talk) 23:09, 5 March 2016 (EST)

Interested in Fun Stuff.

I'll think I can do this: Jokes about the Mario Series starting June, I will send you a private message on the forums for more info. Thanks! TabuuandPeach 13:24, 22 May 2016 (EDT)
