Categories

Hey, Category:Levels, for one thing does not belong on the Super Mario Galaxy missions, as those are, well, missions. Furthermore, the category would be redundant with Category:Super Mario Galaxy Missions. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:36, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

Thanks, will un-link all of those and the three galaxy 2 missions as well

Yes. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:27, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

See MarioWiki:Categories#Size_and_scope. Game-specific subject categories are supposed to have five or more entries. So categories such as "Super Mario Bros. 2 Places" should not be created, since there is one place in that game that doesn't go in a subcategory (Subcon).

Oh Sorry, didnt know that. Thanks for the info though. I will fix the problem
Another thing. Game-specific subcategories always go at the end of the category list on an article. Dark BonesSig.png 16:43, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

I said the places category was unnecessary. Not the worlds category. Subcon can just go under Category:Super Mario Bros. 2. Dark BonesSig.png 16:51, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

Ok, i will do that

Don't forget to remove articles from overall game categories when adding them to a game-specific subcategory. For example, the addition of an article to Category:Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Kingdoms means that it should be removed from Category:Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Ok

File Category Reminder

Hello, Ro money. 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.

This applies to media files as well as images, like your recent upload: File:Gateway Galaxy Music.oga. I just inserted the correct category. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 11:31, 8 February 2018 (EST)

You can save yourself a lot of moving frustration if you create the file links first before the file is uploaded, like List of Yoshi Topsy-Turvy media that LuigiMaster123 (talk) is working on. I use the redlink method all the time. Then you don't have to manually change the name on Special:Upload or move the file. You just click the redlink and upload from there. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 20:12, 11 February 2018 (EST)
---Interesting, I never thought about that. Thanks for the advice.

Re:plurals

Plurals on the enemy gallery are terrible. They just make little sense. Even less sense than the "New vs. returning" categorization, which is already absurdly detrimental. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:32, 12 March 2018 (EDT)

Moving files

When you move a file or article page, be sure to correct any links that lead to the old name to point to the new one. You can find the links by clicking "What links here" on the sidebar when viewing the old name. Afterward, mark the redirect with {{delete}}.
