Images

Three things about images, first just use {{copyright}} for licensing, there's no need to add the full code of the template. Second, please upload files with a lower case extension (for the sake of consistency with other file names). Third's merely a request, please add a link to the source of the images you upload, we like to give credit to the person who provided the image.

Also thanks for writing the Other M section of the Samus article. It needs some references, but otherwise it is good to have it on the article. I'll get on the Fusion section. MK 22:46, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Screenshot template

Was there anything specific you were trying to do with the screenshot template? I could help with it, since I made it... way too long ago. I've been meaning to get around to fixing all of them, but for now, what were you trying to do? --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 23:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I know how it happened, lol, yeah I'll have to fix that about that template eventually --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 05:52, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

File:Favreau.png

I'd prefer it if the original Japanese text was used on the images, plus we'd have to get permission from Metroid Database to use their translations of the artwork. MK 00:02, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Music in articles

So I got something working here, it's a simple link in infoboxes. Check out the infobox on Mogenar and you can see what I'm talking about. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 22:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I got that covered ;) When a subject has more then one piece of music, use multi music= . Look at the infobox code for G.F.S. Theseus (room) and you can see what I did there. So for a boss like Kraid, it'd be

{{Boss-infobox
...
|multi music=*[url1 name1] (Metroid)
*[url2 name2] (Zero Mission)
*[url3 name3] (Super Metroid)
}}

Each of their pages would get the same song listed in their infobox. Since the song is really both of their songs --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah no problem man ;) I'm still trying to see if we can get the actual files on Metroid Wiki, I think it'd be even nicer that way. The infobox thing is nice as it is though --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 01:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Alright, so here's the deal, we've decided we can upload 10 second music samples. That's what Metroid Wiki is going with to be safe. It doesn't sound like much, but 10 seconds can be a long time in music. If you don't know how to edit music, I suggest checking out [ Audacity]. If not, I'll trim any uploaded music down to size. Other than that, linking to Recon's music is fine. Oh yeah, btw, the infobox linking to music has ben changed to just one parameter, check out Crash Site for an example on how it works. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:21, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

That's why you can choose which 10 seconds to use ;) Or we could do both upload and link lol. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 15:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

That sounds good, I just gotta get around to trimming those pieces of music. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:28, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Yep, ogg would be best --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 23:37, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

That you'll have to wait with, I can't fix that myself. But I've sent Prod a message --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:36, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Haha, well you enjoy your inverted ocarinas lol. Oh hey that's gendreavus! --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 01:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
