Hi, you might not know this but [[:Image:MKDD Goo-Goo Buggy.png|this image]] is actually a .bmp, not a .png, this will mean that you will have trouble linking to it. Do you mind if I upload a .png version of it?--[[User:Rocky|Rocky]] <span class="plainlinks">[http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png]</span> <sup>([[User_Talk:Rocky|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|Contributions]])</sup> 14:24, 5 June 2007 (CDT)

What is the point of [[:Image:Gamecube-Control-Neutral-Left or Right.png]]? I see no places where it would be particularly useful, especially since I have no idea what it is trying to represent. --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Skizzerz]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 15:27, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

:I'd recommend a picture of a green shell with an arrow in front of and behind it, as it represents what it means a bit more. Also, you could just say that it can be thrown both ways in text with no image required. The button templates are really for widespread use of the images, across multiples of guides not in the same series. I'll try to find an image like that online (or doctor one myself) for you to see what you think of it. --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Skizzerz]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 15:37, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

Hey SM, for images like [[:Image:OOT eyeballfrog.jpg]] (that aren't screenshots), you need to put information in the description regarding where you found/got it.  Aren't those from the OOT website?  --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 18:51, 8 December 2007 (CST)

:Do '''not''' put anything on the images themselves. They should not have any watermarks or such markings on them. If you need to put the website, add it to the description page. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig2}} 17:35, 10 December 2007 (CST)

When replacing images, please upload over the old ones instead of uploading under a new file name. We have to delete the old files (unused), and in doing so we lose the ability to look at the old version (it's deleted...). So next time, just click on the link (it says "Upload a new version of this file" under the file history section) on the image you're revising. Actually, I'd like you to go back and do that for [[:Image:LoZ_OOT_Dodongofloor2.jpg]] as there is no reason to have a pseudo-duplicate. Thanks, --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 11:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Can you please add the game prefix to the front of the image name when you are uploading them, so [[:Image:Bulletblaster.jpg]] would become [[:Image:MKDD Bulletblaster.jpg]].

Hi, could you upload another version of [[:Image:MKDD Tilt-A-Kart.JPG]] without the "made by" note on it and with a spelling correction? Specifically if you could change where it says "wihte" to say "white."

:Sorry to double post, but I think it would actually be better if the image had no writing on it at all. Accompanying text should really be in the thumbnail description so users have access to modify it if need be.
