Aboutfile and licensing
Hey thanks for your recent screenshots. Just remember to format the {{aboutfile}} template when you upload (like this), and select a license on the upload page. Cheers.

Hello, Thiago N. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file into a subject category. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:
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, images related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]]or one it its subcategories. Media files would use: [[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, Thiago N. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. The following are the most common:
When uploading, select the license from the drop-down menu below the summary text box. Don't tag a file with multiple copyright templates; choose the one that best fits the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. |
Also, please avoid writing as if you're directly telling the reader what to do. In these cases, use terms like "the player" or "Yoshi" (e.g. "Use an egg" --> "Yoshi must use an egg" or "The player must use an egg"). Mario JC 03:08, August 1, 2023 (EDT)
Please review the above reminders when uploading. Mario JC 20:53, March 24, 2025 (EDT)
Subject names
In addition to capitalising proper nouns as I said here, please keep in mind that any names for objects you mention are accurate to what the game called them (e.g. "Smiley Flower" is "Special Flower", "Paddle Platform" is "paddle wheel", the lifts are "Flatbed Ferries" - check the rest of the article or the game page to see what names to use).
Make sure that the red coin numbers are correct as well, as your previous edits were reusing/overlapping numbers in the list (1-2, 3-4 etc. and not 1-2, 2-4 etc.) Mario JC 05:35, March 26, 2025 (EDT)
SMA3 screenshots
Make sure the screenshots are attributed to the GBA remake specifically, not the original game, and that the categories are screenshots specifically:
