Mariopedia:Maintenance: Difference between revisions

 

Please remember that basic maintenance edits, such as fixing a link or correcting a spelling mistake, should be marked as a [[Help:Editing#Minor edits|minor edit]].

==Main Page==

The '''[[Main Page]]''' is an important way to welcome visitors to the wiki, and invite them to further explore our community by providing them with news, community notices, links to useful pages, and more.

The Main Page has three dynamic sections that present rotating and up-to-date information to visitors. Instead of editing the main page itself, we modify these sections using ''templates''. Certain rules are required for updating each of these templates, which are explained in the section below. Anyone is free to update these templates when necessary. Finally, it is recommended that all templates with bullet points for info should contain around '''¾-1½''' lines per bullet point.

 

Featured articles should contain the first 4-6 lines of information from the current featured article. A thumbnail of the article's main image should also be displayed.

 

This template consists of four interesting ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' facts. The ''first'' line of info should be accompanied with an image, no bigger than 150px thumbnailed. Please link and '''bold''' the character or game relating to the subject of each line, so guests and users alike are prompted to see more information in the article itself.

 

 

The ''first'' line of info should be accompanied with an image, no bigger than 150px within a thumbnail. Please link and '''bold''' the character or game relating to the subject of each line, so guests and users alike are prompted to see more information in the article itself.

==File maintenance==

Images, as well as [[Help:Media|audio and video]] files, are essential to provide examples about what articles are detailing in words. All articles should use at least one image, with the exception of [[:Category:Implied|implied]] or unseen subjects. Various maintenance tasks may be required for the file itself (such as issues with quality and categorization), the use of the file on pages, or the request for the uploading of additional files where required. Files should also closely follow the [[Project:Image use policy|image use policy]], and new revisions to files may only be uploaded by [[Project:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed users]].

[[Project:Administrators|Administrators]] (also named "admins" or "sysops") are promoted users who are given additional tools, which assist in maintaining the upkeep of the wiki. All admins have the ability to counter [[Project:Vandalism|vandalism]] on the wiki by [[Project:Blocking policy|blocking]] troublesome editors, reverting detrimental edits by using the "rollback" feature, and hiding inappropriate edits if required. Administrators are also able to [[Project:Deletion policy|delete]] entire pages and images when necessary.
