Yo, Trig.
Yo, Trig.


For some reason, when I try to use the Poke Pic template for pictures of Generation VI Pokemon, it doesn't actually work, it just shows a red link. Could you fix this, please?

::Well I have absolutely no real standing on pokemon guides or anything to do with them so I have no idea why you came to me about it, but the easiest answer is that we don't have any pictures of any pokemon gen 5 and above on that template. seriously. you'll have to upload everything using the filename structure that template uses if you want to use PokePic.

: The main reason I came to you is because I don't wanna screw up the Poke Pic template by doing something wrong, and in turn screwing up all the Pokémon guides. 😈[[User:Demon Pikachu|<span style="color:#9d0c0c;">Demon </span>]][[User talk:Demon Pikachu|<span style="color:red;">Pikachu</span>]]😈 14:29, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

::Hello. This isn't really my thing that I am knowledgable about. I would suggest joining our [https://discord.com/invite/pYghWh3 Discord] and asking there. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 15:05, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 
== N64 Diagram Image ==
 
Hello! Wanted to update an image on the wiki with an image from here: http://www.gratuitousscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/controller_n64_diagram.jpg, but I noticed that the file in question here was a self-made one. As long as I link the source of my new file, is it okay to update? Thanks for your time. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 13:26, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
:What is the file you're looking to replace? I just want to make the comparison, but broadly yes, replacement with a link would be appropriate to do. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 18:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
:This one: [[:File:N64 Controller Diagram.png]] [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 23:48, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
::Yeah, that's a good replacement to make. Feel free to do so. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig Jegman]] - 06:02, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 
==The Cutting Room Floor?==
 
Hey! Can I add NES/any title screen images from the Cutting Room Floor wiki? They use extensive measures to make sure their screenshots are color/pixel-corrected, and I have no doubt that they would be good sources of images to fill in the wiki's images (at least title screen-wise). Let me know what you think. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 14:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 
==NSO EBB boxart==
 
One last thing. Can I replace the WikiBound image of the NSO EarthBound Beginnings box art with this one: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GHWGDJOIy_WOWIS_wJj7_3uksrrDK6Le or this one: https://www.deviantart.com/jolu42/art/EarthBound-Beginnings-Nintendo-eShop-Box-Art-906763158 Thank you. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 14:37, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:Both of these sources are pretty sketchy towards their authenticity. I'd say no. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 19:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 
::So should I delete the file entirely, or are you okay with it remaining? Thanks again. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 19:48, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:::Leave the version that is currently up. I'll see if I can find a more accurate image later. As an aside, a lot of the stuff you are doing is nice, but might be better suited for [[nwiki:|Nintendo Wiki]] instead... [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 19:51, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 
::::I apologize. I suppose I ''would'' be better suited for something like that, but I'd much rather work on a more developed wiki for now since the one you brought up is extremely underdeveloped. Would you mind giving me a better idea of what I can and can't do on this wiki (and more so what the image scope is) so I can better operate within its perimeters? I don't want to needlessly cause strife with my edits. Thanks again. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 21:49, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::Nintendo Wiki won't get developed unless it actually has people to develop it. Same goes for anywhere, but if you want it to be built up into a good resource, we gotta start somewhere. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 23:17, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 
== Boxes? ==
 
Hello! Should I replace the files for Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Mario Bros.? In general, which files can I upload from the Mario Wiki, and which ones can I not? I noticed that some of the files were taken from the Mario Wiki even before I came here, so I wondered what the criteria was for it being acceptable on this wiki. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 19:53, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:I would avoid taking files from other wikis in general. They typically are serving as middlemen for file sourcing and not the actual origin of the files. I would suggest one of these four resources first: [http://www.thecoverproject.net The Cover Project], [https://www.mobygames.com MobyGames], [https://www.video-games-museum.com/en Video Games Museum], [https://www.amazon.com Amazon]. Just be sure to crop down and optimize the files from The Cover Project (use https://tinyjpg.com or https://ezgif.com/optimize ). Ideally, we don't use them as linked sources, but it's not necessarily ''wrong'' to have them. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 23:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 
::Thanks. Is there any way that I could obtain the NSO box arts that Nintendo uses? They are official and of a higher quality/more accurate scan (or at least some of them) than the ones we currently use. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 21:15, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:::Not that I know of. While NSO might be the most modern use of these box arts, I would not prioritize exact identical matching of covers to what they are using. Some releases had multiple covers (both regionally but also of the same title. Off the top of my head, Earthbound with the guide and Kirby's Avalanche (which received a KA release and an E rated release). As long as it is an accurate representation of how someone might be able to buy the game off the shelf (so to speak), I'm not sure it much matters if it directly matches the NSO version. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 07:33, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 
::::Thanks again. EarthBound came without a guide? I thought all US versions contained the player's guide.[[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 15:14, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:::::I'm not 100% sure. Just trying to give some examples for the fact. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 03:13, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 
== This Game Stinks! ==
 
Should we include one of those flyers for the EarthBound page? Found another one here: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/1529-earthbound On another note, any place where I could find clean, transparent sprites for the Mother page? Thanks for your time. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 15:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:Flyers are not particularly in scope. This is more appropriate for WikiBound to have. Speaking of which, if they don't have sprites you are looking for, The Spriters Resource or Starman.net may have some. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 03:13, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
