User talk:Dragonfirebreath25/Archive 1

Hi there!

Welcome!

Welcome to our wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.

Read this first as it provides many great resources designed to help users get oriented with the wiki and become part of the community.

Visit the recent changes to see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.

Questions? You can ask at the help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!

Need help? The community portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.

I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Section editing

If you wish to edit multiple sections of a page, click on the Edit tab on top and go from there, instead of editing each section one at a time. That way, you can consolidate them into one edit and you won't flood Recent Changes with section edits. Thanks! Berrenta (talk) 14:29, 5 February 2015 (EST)

Interwiki Links

When linking to a page on another wiki, it would be best to use {{s|other wiki|page name}} instead of [[other wiki:page name|text to show]]. There are some cases where the latter would be used, but if the text shown doesn't need to be changed, then you would use the template. I will apply that to over here, but I figured I'd tell you an easier way ahead of time. Aidan the Aura Master 09:41, 9 February 2015 (EST)

Uploading images

When uploading an image, you shouldn't necessarily add it to every remotely related page. Sometimes a page doesn't need more images. Miles (talk) 11:56, 5 August 2015 (EDT)

Reminder of this. Miles (talk) 22:01, 15 August 2015 (EDT)

I appreciate that you're a good faith editor, but this is getting frustrating. This is like the seventh or eighth time I've seen you do this, where you upload a questionably-useful image and put it on every single page that has anything to do with it. Please make more of an effort to consider whether a page really needs more or different images before uploading. A lot of the time they don't. Miles (talk) 19:24, 6 October 2015 (EDT)

I hate to pester you on this subject, but I'm afraid I have to say this as a warning this time. You don't need to upload so many pictures of the same thing, or re-upload over your own image repeatedly, or re-upload a deleted picture. More pictures is not always a good thing. Please exercise a bit more restraint in your uploading and usage of images, and keep it to what's needed. If you want to help with pictures, try to focus on articles that need them. Miles (talk) 13:07, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I feel mentioning this is needed. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 13:20, 21 November 2015 (EST)

This is your last warning on this subject. You've done this countless times now and have consistently ignored requests to change your behavior. If you persist in doing so, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. I don't like having to say that, since I can tell you're a good-faith editor, but it is a problem and you need to understand that. Miles (talk) 20:09, 20 May 2016 (EDT)

Given that it's been a while, I will not block you, bit I will give you a reminder of this. Adding more useless images to a page does not make it better, it just adds clutter. Before uploading an image to SmashWiki, please ask yourself if it is really necessary or not. Thanks! Serpent King 22:01, 3 October 2016 (EDT)

Hey

Do you have any of the DLC trophies? I was hoping you could upload screenshots of them, since no one is ripping the trophy files any time soon. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 18:52, 6 October 2015 (EDT)

That transparent Cloud image

What is its source? We generally don't accept fan-done edits to add transparency to images. Toomai Glittershine The Incomprehensible 20:04, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Protip

You can use {{d}} if an image is unused and has no potential use. Nyargleblargle (Talk | Contribs) 13:37, 24 November 2015 (EST)

About on-screen appearances...

Think you can get ones for the other characters? Serpent and I need them for the overhauls we've been doing on the character pages. Disaster Flare (talk) 15:29, 16 December 2015 (EST)

Do you plan on finishing these? Serpent King 22:55, 6 February 2016 (EST)

I know ultimately in the end I replaced your hard work with animated versions (sorry about that), but I'd still like to thank you for getting what you did get done, so...thanks. :P Disaster Flare (talk) 20:04, 20 March 2016 (EDT)

Hi

In the future, please note that we would prefer having a wanted redlink over having a one-liner page. It's a better indication that we need information for that page. Serpent King 08:09, 4 January 2016 (EST)

Regarding interwiki links

"mariowiki" functions identically to "supermariowiki" as interwiki link code. Changing the former to the latter does nothing of value and only adds more code to the page. Please refrain from making such changes. Thank you. Miles (talk) 21:00, 15 March 2016 (EDT)

If you're planning to mass-edit the victory pose images...

Please start marking them as minor edits so they don't clog up the changelog. Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 18:02, 3 April 2016 (EDT)

3 Day Block

Three days is not too bad so, I'll take it! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 16:38, 31 May 2016 (EDT)

You seem awfully eager to be blocked... Disaster Flare (talk) 17:05, 31 May 2016 (EDT)

Also, please don't remove talk page content. You were blocked because you were deliberately ignoring our warnings, making no effort to communicate with us. If you continue to be disruptive, I will remove your talk page privileges for the remainder of your block. Disaster Flare (talk) 11:39, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

I'm Back and it's my birthday

Hello again! Sorry for the wait but, it's my 27th birthday! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 21:15, 3 June 2016 (EDT)

Happy bday! Poultry(talk) the God-Slayer 12:27, 4 June 2016 (EDT)

Happy Birthday! :) WolfBloodSpam (talk) 12:35, 4 June 2016 (EDT) Happy birthday! Nyargleblargle (Contribs) 13:30, 4 June 2016 (EDT)

Please stop multiediting User:Dragonfirebreath25/Global Smash Power‎

Reminder: Please use the Show preview button located next to the Save page button to preview your edits. This prevents consecutive edits to the same page from clogging up the recent changes list.

You're clogging up the recent changes list. Thanks! Serpent King 22:24, 15 June 2016 (EDT)

Redirects

Please use better discretion when creating redirects. We do not need a million redirects per page, thanks! Serpent King 23:06, 16 October 2016 (EDT)

Ban evasion allegations

You have been blocked because your IP address is confirmed to have been involved in a case of ban evasion on MarioWiki. If you wish to argue your case, you may do so here. Thanks and have a great day. Serpent King 22:09, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

I want to stay here because I'm a huge fan of Mario and Smash! Please, let me stay and get myself a second chance! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 10:16, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

I am giving you a chance to explain yourself, but if you opt not to use it effectively, that's on you. Serpent King 17:48, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

Backup for DFB25: I don't think Dragonfirebreath25 did anything wrong, it may've just been a coincidence that a bunch of ban-evading IPs linked to his and that was only on Mariowiki. I've been down this road in the past I was framed for vandalism once before but it wasn't me it was just a younger sibling who obviously shared with my IP and I was back on. His edit appear to be good as well. Please reconsider. The RPG Gamer (talk•contribs•logs)

~~ I doubt you'll see this now Dragonfirebreath25, but you've apparently been unblocked. Unowninator (talk) 17:54, 20 March 2017 (EDT)

I will warn you that I am watching carefully. You've been given a chance to redeem yourself here, don't waste it. Serpent King 21:47, 21 March 2017 (EDT)

Welcoming new users

While it's great to see that you're welcoming new users, why not use {{template:welcome}} instead? It explains everything perfectly, and it's much faster to type out. Penro 18:36, 16 April 2017 (EDT)

Um

Why don't you just do all the "Match timer" edits all in one big edit...? Kirby's Crazy Appetite ~ 09:21, 7 May 2017 (EDT)

SW:QDV

This is a big no-no. According to SW:QDV, "Do not dignify those who are trolling with a response at all, even if it is on your own talk page - that is exactly what they wish for. Don't play into their hands." Additionally, trying to plead them to stop is a wasted effort. 9 times out of 10, they won't stop regardless of what you say. Instead of coming to them, please quietly deal with vandals, as in report them on the admin noticeboard and revert their edits until an admin shows up. Disaster Flare (talk) 14:04, 23 May 2017 (EDT)

Okay, I need to ask you something

I've been meaning to come to you about this for a while, but this is becoming a huge pet peeve of mine, and I can't sit back and wait anymore. When talking in general, can you please limit your usage of exclamation marks? When you're constantly talking "Like this!", it makes it seem as though you're always shouting in people's faces, which can be very irritating to other users. Thanks in advance. Disaster Flare (talk) 23:09, 27 May 2017 (EDT)

28th Birthday!

Twenty-eight years ago, I am born on this day and now, here I am 28 years later! It's my birthday so, send me some wishes today! Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 08:53, 3 June 2017 (EDT)

User images

Hey man take it easy on the user images please. SmashWiki is not an image hosting service, and while there is no limit on how many users can have, we do expect users to upload appropriately. Thanks! Serpent King 22:57, 13 September 2017 (EDT)

And while you're at it, don't put them on other people's pages without asking first. Aidan, the Wandering Dragon Warrior 08:10, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

Okay, that's enough. You've been told to cool it, but I keep seeing edit spam in the recent changes, so here's your official warning: Cool it on the userspace editing or you'll be put on probation until your behavior improves. Disaster Flare (talk) 20:17, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

Last warning. Even after I placed you under probation, you've uploaded yet another user image for a total of 24, far more than is necessary or appropriate. If you persist, you will be blocked. SmashWiki is not an image hosting service or a personal profile. Miles (talk) 22:36, 17 September 2017 (EDT)
