Box art

Hello. Thank you for your recent upload contributions. When uploading new versions of files, please link to the sources within the file page itself, as that is a required attribution for fair use. Additionally, please do not convert file types (png -> jpg as an example) as it can lead to quality loss, color distortion, and file size bloat. Many of the files may be missing the file template—that is okay. Either add it when linking the source (an example of how it should be used has been corrected on the upload File:SFA boxart.jpg) or just leave a link behind and I can change it myself later.

I would also prefer not taking box art from other wikis, as they are generally not sourced properly and are not the final destination for linking—if MarioWiki moves/deletes their file but the original source still exists, people won't be able to navigate to it. I have a list of resources available on my page Sourcemageddon, or if the wiki lists a source for their box arts, use that instead. Fandom Wikis and GameFAQs uploads are discouraged.

If you have any questions about the above, do not hesitate to ask. Trig - 06:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll link the files that I've updated here so that they can be corrected.

I would prefer not to upload very large files such as File:Mother_1_and_2_box.jpg. Our primary purpose is to store guides, not to warehouse high quality images. 7MB is rather enormous for an image on our site, and enough of those will quickly ratchet up our hosting requirements. Please try to keep images sizes around 1MB ideally, 2MB at most. Thank you. Procyon 19:02, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
