Also

Little pro-tip: for unnecessary things like file redirects, you can use Template:D instead of Template:Delete and it'll be deleted by an admin ASAP. The deletion template is for pages that require a discussion about whether or not they should be deleted. TheNuttyOne 22:22, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

Ok i got it, thank you. Conker the Squirrel (talk) 22:22, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

Responding to this

Because you tried to replace an infobox image with a high-res one. This is a meaningless pursuit because the image will never be displayed at the higher res and will only serve to take up space. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 10:45, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

Why do you keep replacing images?

There seems to be little point of it. You're just making the admin team do more legwork in deleting the old ones. Serpent  King 17:29, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

Because that's what they do on most wikis, like Zelda Wiki or Mario Wiki? Conker the Squirrel (talk) 17:30, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

But you're not giving any reason for replacing them. IF it's just because you've got a higher quality, we don't really care about that unless the quality of the original is unacceptable. Serpent  King 18:47, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

Hey, please don't upload images that are smaller/lower-quality just so they match native resolution for the NES or SNES or whatever. For example, this one. If you want to upload cleaner/pixel-perfect images with the correct aspect ratio and such, I'm all for that. But uploading a small image just to match native res will result in it getting messily upscaled for display on most article pages. The best way to handle this is to do a simple 2x or 3x upscale from native res yourself and upload that. That way, the full-size image is pixel-perfect, and it will get downscaled for display in articles which looks much better. Here's an example. SuperFalconBros (talk) 17:14, 30 September 2018 (EDT)

Image tagging

When tagging images for deletion, make sure they're not being used on a userspace article first. If they're being used in someone's userspace, don't tag it, instead replace the categories on the image with Category:User images. Disaster Flare (talk) 12:09, 29 September 2018 (EDT)

Got it, thanks Conker the Squirrel (talk) 21:26, 29 September 2018 (EDT)
