Patroller[edit]

Hey, Gigi! You've been making a lot of helpful edits lately, so how would you like to become a patroller? As a patroller, you'll be able to mark edits as patrolled, and also mark possible featurement candidates as Good. You'll also be treated to a purple username on Special:RecentChanges and a shiny gold medal on your userpage. Is this something you're interested in? --YFJ (talk · edits) 18:38, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Oh, yes, sure thing! I would love to! :) Gigi (talk) 19:07, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
All right then! You are now a patroller! Purple names and gold medals coming shortly! You also should have access to the staff chat on Shiver Star; let me know if you don't. --YFJ (talk · edits) 19:19, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you! And it looks like I don't have access to that chat as of right now, or I can't find it. Gigi (talk) 19:30, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

OGG versus OGA[edit]

Hello

While OGG is a possible format for the file itself, it is discouaged by the designer of OGG itself--Xiph.org. Most easily sourced (and horribly formatted) from the RFC,

  While this document does redefine the earlier definition of
  application/ogg, this media type will continue to embrace the widest
  net possible of content with the video/ogg and audio/ogg types being
  smaller subsets of it.  However, the video/ogg and audio/ogg types
  take precedence in a subset of the usages, specifically when serving
  multimedia content that is not complex enough to warrant the use of
  application/ogg.  Following this line of thought, the audio/ogg type
  is an even smaller subset within video/ogg, as it is not intended to
  refer to visual content.
  As such, the application/ogg type is the recommended choice to serve
  content aimed at scientific and other applications that require
  various multiplexed signals or streams of continuous data, with or
  without scriptable control of content. For bitstreams containing
  visual, timed text, and any other type of material that requires a
  visual interface, but that is not complex enough to warrant serving
  under application/ogg, the video/ogg type is recommended. In
  situations where the Ogg bitstream predominantly contains audio data
  (lyrics, metadata, or cover art notwithstanding), it is recommended
  to use the audio/ogg type.

In short, despite the fact that ogg can be used as a name, it has been redefined and requested to become more specific in its naming. OGG should generally, if possible, be formatted as OGA or OGV where appropriate. This is essentially done as a practicality and formality. For a small history, I have a small section on here on my user page. I can give more details if required, but I strongly suggest that OGA be used as the main extension furthermore. Trig - (talk) 21:25, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I will be honest, I personally started using OGG for audio formats because pretty much all audio files here use that, and I wasn't aware of its implications. Furthermore, I reverted your two changes mostly for consistency, not because I disagree: if OGA is a better choice for audio, it better be used for all audio files that current use OGG, not just a couple.
I will forward this to the rest of the staff to see what they think too, but I don't see why anyone would be against the change. Then we can hopefully change all current audio files from OGG to OGA and encourage people to use it in the future instead. Regardless, I'll keep you updated. Gigi (talk) 00:09, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. Since there's still approximately 9 japanese file names I'd like to move, should I wait until OGA is determined, or go ahead and move them to english name (thing).oga? If you need more descriptions, feel free to ask on here or on discord. Thanks! Trig - (talk) 01:15, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Sandbox[edit]

If I'm not mistaken, I can create sandbox by simply creating page with User:Superbound/Sandbox, right? (asking because i'm not so sure) Superbound (talk) 16:14, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, that would be a subpage of your userpage, and they can be named anything (but of course follow the policy). —Viperision (talk) 16:19, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! Superbound (talk) 16:21, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Yup yup, as Viperision said. In fact, thanks for giving this quick answer, heh. Gigi (talk) 16:43, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

The game is referred to without a colon symbol during the credits of New Challenge Stages, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PKLvVgauusOwencrazyboy17 (talk) 19:07, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Well then the whole wiki is using the wrong name. I was adding those because that's the name of the article and how every mention of it I've seen in the wiki has been. Personally, I don't care much if it has a colon or not, but I do want consistency. Gigi (talk) 19:11, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
Can also confirm through the manual that it's consistently "Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition" with no colon. StrawberryChan (talk) 21:04, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Greetings. We do not typically delete accounts here on WiKirby, but we can make this account inaccessible by permablocking it, so nobody can use it again. Is this what you want? --Samwell (talk) 18:40, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Alright. Just one thing though. You seem to be using the unsigned template I put on your first post to sign your comments. This is not necessary. All you have to do to sign your comment is to type four tildes in a row at the end of your post, like this → ~~~~. --Samwell (talk) 19:12, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Colored Names[edit]

Hi. I was wondering how to get a different colored or different fonted signatures. Is it solely for staff? Thank you. Kawasaki'sBiggestFan (talk) 00:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

This is not restricted to staff. There's a bit of a technical side to this, but if you look on my own signature code, you might get a general idea of how to do it. Mainly, for the font I use <span style="font family: 'Delfino'"> and for the color, I use <span style="color: #0a0">. You can put another font in the place of "Delfino" on the first tag, and the three digits following the # on the second tag represent the hex code for a color (in my case, lime), and you can look up the hex code for the color you want and replace the digits with those. Hope this helps! --YFJ (talk · edits) 00:27, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

How to create User Page[edit]

Hey Gigi, how do I get permission to edit my user page?

Hey Gigi, how do I get permission to edit my user page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by RedsterTheGamer (talkcontribs) . Please always sign your comments by typing ~~~~!

Hey there. I'm not Gigi, but to create your user page, you have to make five edits to the wiki and have an account for 24 hours first. The latter's already done, but you'll be good to go if you make one more edit to the wiki.
Also, please remember to always sign your comments by typing ~~~~. -- Jellytost (talk) 04:16, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
You need to be autoconfirmed to create pages, which is 1 day + 5 edits. So you just need one more edit on any page to create your userpage. ⁠–⁠Wiz (talk · edits) 04:17, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrolled status[edit]

Hello Gigi.

So, what exactly is the autopatrolled status? How can I get it? Have I already shown good editing spirit enough to be autopatrolled? Maybe even a patroller rank would be too high, but is it possible that I can be autopatrolled? I mean, like, you can be autopatrolled on the first day of editing, and my account is 6 months now. Is being an autopatrolled user good for me or too high? If I cannot earn it yet, I understand, but please just explain in good detail what an autopatrolled user can do compared to autoconfirmed ones. Thanks!

Altendo 03:05, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hoy. I am not Gigi, but I am also a bureaucrat, and I regularly handle promotions to Autopatrol, so allow me to answer your question.
Fundamentally, being in Autopatrol means that your edits are automatically marked as "Patrolled" by the wiki, which means that we no longer need to manually patrol them. To "patrol" an edit means to confirm that you have seen an edit and approve it, which is the primary responsibility of Patrollers and above. As such, when a user has all their edits patrolled automatically, it implies that they have shown consistent good faith in editing, and we trust such users to that extent. Additionally, here on WiKirby specifically, Autopatrol users are given permission to vote on proposals that affect wiki policy, and as you might imagine, are the first step up WiKirby's Cursus Honorum, with the following steps being Patroller, Moderator, Administrator, and finally Bureaucrat.
I've had a look at your editing history, and seen that you've recently joined the Discord as well, and I think you are well on your way to attaining Autopatrol status. However, I come from a school that discourages people from asking for promotions regarding volunteer work, as it might suggest a little too much zeal in gaining a higher rank for its own sake, rather than for the sake of the community. As such, I request that you exhibit patience, and make editing and engaging with the community in an organic matter to be your main priorities. If you do well in these areas, then future ranks will become open to you sooner or later as a result.
I hope this answers your question. I'll see you around the wiki. --Samwell (talk) 03:43, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the info! Altendo 03:46, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Now my account is over 2 years old, which is far from the 1 day normal users take. Why? Altendo 15:42, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

What I MEANT was...[edit]

Just letting you know, when I was talking about the Star Rod in Smash Bros., it's on the Smash 4 page in the Items section. That fact only applies to Melee, so really the Brawl pages section on the Star Rod is ALSO incorrect. ',: | --Marx4Smash (talk) 00:43, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

By the way, if anyone finds any other errors on the Smash Bros. pages (or ANY page in general), let me or Gigi know so we can discuss changing it.--Marx4Smash (talk) 00:50, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

You are free to correct those pages then like I suggested. I'm not sure if I wasn't clear, so let me explain another way: you are free to edit the wiki and add and correct information, however it's possible someone may edit what you added after with their own additions and corrections. A wiki is the effort of multiple people. Discussions happen if there is a disagreement over edits of two users, or if a user isn't sure about something to add to a page, otherwise you're free to go ahead and edit. Use your best judgement, and I'm sure it will work. And if not, don't worry, the other editors, myself included, are here to help you, and the wiki as a whole. - Gigi (talkedits) 01:05, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Cool.--Marx4Smash (talk) 13:13, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Rename request[edit]

Hi Gigi, may you rename me to "User:Evie (Torchickens)" please? My name is outdated and I've only really continued to use the name "User:Chickasaurus" in the Pokémon community because of my Pokémon YouTube channel where people know me as that. Thanks in advance! ^^ Evie (User:Chickasaurus) (talk) 21:00, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Of course, and done. Enjoy your new name! - Gigi (talkedits) 22:45, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Meme pages[edit]

hi im new here, do you think i could make pages for kirby memes, (kirbo, kirb) i dont know if it is allowed, so please respond and tell me also it wont let me make userpage i dont know if im supposed to tho SpeedOfKirb38000 (talk) 15:48, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi! First, welcome to the wiki. Second, we don't cover fan content in the wiki, only official content, so we don't have any meme pages and they shouldn't be created. Lastly, to create your userpage, you need to first get autoconfirmed, which you can become once you make 5 edits and are registered for 24 hours. If you want, you can find lots of guides here to help you start editing. Hope that helps! - Gigi (talkedits) 16:52, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Target[edit]

hi its me again! speedofkirb38000 i can't find any work to do (that i can do im on tablet) andrecently some targets have been making the litleballs in fron of the store in to kirbys! i would like to make a page on target talking about the event and i dont have permission to make the page, could you make it for me and then i fill it in SpeedOfKirb38000 (talk) 17:53, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for not replying earlier, I was on a break to avoid Forgotten Land spoilers so I wasn't checking the wiki until recently. I see that you are now autoconfirmed and thus can create pages, but as advice, please keep our article creation policy in mind when creating new pages. As an example, a "Target" page doesn't make sense for this wiki, because it's not directly related to Kirby, but we could certainly use some sort of "Real life events" page to document them all. Since you are new to the wiki, I would advise to ask first around too before creating a page that is not currently in our wanted pages page to see if the community at large thinks it's worth creating. - Gigi (talkedits) 14:12, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

My username.[edit]

Hi. I sorta noticed that my username is a bit of a mouthful, so do you think you could change it? I heard mods can do that so i would like you to change it to Shiny_Champion. Thanks! SpeedOfKirb38000 (talk) 14:08, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Just confirm me again that the exact spelling of "Shiny_Champion" is what you wish for your username, and I can change it for you. - Gigi (talkedits) 14:23, 23 September 2022 (UTC)


LuigiVRN628 message[edit]

Can you accept a friend request from LuigiVRN628 in Discord? We need to discuss something —Preceding unsigned comment added by LuigiVRN628 (talkcontribs) . Please always sign your comments by typing ~~~~!

Hi, I rejected your friend request before you left this message as you had no mutual servers or friends with me and I assumed it was spam.
You are free to either discuss what you want to discuss here in this talk page, in particular if it's about WiKirby. If you do really want to DM me on Discord, join WiKirby's server and message me, as anyone in the server has the permission to do so without having to friend me. - Gigi (talkedits) 07:42, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

The wiki probably isn’t the place to ask so I always wanted to ask this in discord DM’s but couldn’t find a person to talk to[edit]

but I was banned from the WiKirby discord server during May 1-2, 2021 because I kept on asking unsettling questions about making threats to people and bothering people with questions about the police despite being told not to. I had no intention to actually commit a crime or anything but I was just bothered by stupid things I did before that I'm not bothered about anymore (and I had no reason to be bothered in the first place).

If you're ok with me discussing my behavior back then here (and my specific reason for acting the way I did back then), I am willing to do so but I figured it would just be more appropriate in DMs. I did dm Tacopill (Talk) on discord a week ago about this but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

I did join the server to intentionally cause trouble (in a different way) so I deserved the ban anyways but I felt bad about my previous actions enough that I decided to help out with the wiki to make up for my discord server behavior. If the mods here decide to unban me, I won't act the way I did before ever again but I expect that you'll say no to unbanning me because I figured I was enough of a troublemaker enough across other NIWA servers that I don't deserve a second chance.

Yoshi's Island 16:28, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm not Gigi, but I can speak on this subject as one of WiKirby's bureaucrats and one of its longest-serving members. When you were banned from the Discord, there was talk about whether or not you should be thrown off the wiki as well, but ultimately those two realms are considered separate for administering purposes. Ultimately, if you want to be allowed back into the Discord, you should take some time and keep contributing to the wiki. If you seem to be making good progress, learning the ropes, and remaining on good behavior, we will consider letting you back in, but don't expect that to happen for a while.
As an aside, you probably shouldn't try to message Tacopill about WiKirby matters anymore. WiKirby has since moved away from grifkuba, so we have no further formal ties with him. As such, he should not be approached for anything relating to WiKirby. Gigi, PinkYoshiFan, or myself are the best people to talk to on that matter. Take care of yourself, and see you around the wiki. --Samwell (talk) 16:33, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Helpers page talk[edit]

Since the talk on the Helper page is long, I decided to move the convers here. So, I'm glad you agree on MY idea of renaming the page, and I perfectley agree on this. If you wish, I could change the page for you, of you want. --IsaacBoi321 (talk) 02:52, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

You should continue the discussion there, not here. An agreement wasn't reached, so moving the page wouldn't be appropriate. A wiki is a group effort. - Gigi (talkedits) 03:03, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Gigi, Ash-Animator879 here with a discussion. I just saw an information that sometimes says "After a long absence from the Kirby series, the Jet ability returns in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It is acquired from the Capsule J3 enemy.". I was sorry for reverting the edits back without a discussion. I will agree! That can violate WiKirby's dispute policy. So, I decided this as a suggestion. Can I change it back to the way it is on this content (Kirby: Planet Robobot) in this page Jet to have. Next time, I'll assume what is was meant. Sorry for doing that without a discussion. I hope you would understand about it. Thanks for understanding. Ash-Animator879 (talk) 23:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

How to add a userbox[edit]

hey there! thank you for letting me know about having to add the sources to the images. i've been uploading them on the same page i'm editing instead of using the actual upload file page, and i didn't realize that made it so the source information fill-out doesn't show up along with it. i'm going to manually add the neccesary information to the images i've already uploaded, and i'll make sure to use the real upload file page from here on out. again, thank you for letting me know of this, i really appreciate it!

A rather small question[edit]

Hello! I was just wondering, which one of the "Ripple Field" theme links is for the second Ripple Field theme from Kirby's Dream Land 3? Thanks! --Paistrie (talk) 18:06, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, if you are talking about this theme, it is Ripple Field (theme). I just saw there are also links to "Ripple Field (theme from Kirby's Dream Land 3)", but I assume that's because Ripple Field is also in Dream Land 2, but there it's a remix of Float Islands, so I don't think it's necessary to keep the game in the title. In short, if you want to create a page for it, it's best to use Ripple Field (theme). - Gigi (talkedits) 18:24, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Okay! Thanks again, and have a nice day! :D --Paistrie (talk) 18:35, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Need help adding audio files[edit]

So i got some audio files for the game over theme page and i can't figure out how to add the audio to the page. The closest i can get is adding the description.=== MeltanFlood (talk) 18:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, the file use policy page has very good examples, it focuses on images but you can apply most of those to audio. In addition, I recommend looking at the source code of other music pages to see how we use tabs in their infoboxes; the page you want to create will have a lot of audio files, so maybe take a look at Haldera Volcano (theme) for a simple example, and Kirby Dance (theme) for a bigger example. - Gigi (talkedits) 19:15, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

SmashWiki seems to have problems with internet trolls using ip addresses to repeatedly ban evade and vandalize[edit]

Given that many Discord servers require a phone number before you can post in them, how would it be easy to require each account and IP address here to submit sensitive personal info such as bank card numbers, drivers license or government issued ID or phone numbers in order to edit, which makes it harder for internet trolls to ban evade?

WiKirby itself wouldn’t use the data for any reason outside of logging it in a database to auto detect bans. Would it be difficult to verify info such as if bank numbers is real or something or would it result in hackers who hack into WiKirby itself gaining access to your data?

This would also ensure that if an user is banned here, then tries to edit using an IP address, the info they provide would automatically flag and ban them instead of us having to do the annoying process of detecting if they are the same user.

Yoshi's Island 14:15, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello. You are voicing issues related to SmashWiki if I'm understanding correctly? In either case, on WiKirby we put measures a while ago against vandalism in the form of moderation and manual account approval, which have proved to be very effective. I don't personally see the need here to collect such personal information just to prevent a couple vandals or trolls, which here are already often prevented with the tools we have in place. If you have feedback regarding SmashWiki, I would advise to suggest to their staff instead, as that's a different wiki. - Gigi (talkedits) 14:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello. This is less intended for feedback to SmashWiki and more of "while WiKirby itself doesn't probably attract trolls and vandals enough to need this, what issues would it pose to implement this?"

Like would it just result in false bans mostly from children who are using their parents info (children use the info, they cause enough trouble to be banned, parent is banned as well) or would somebody hacking into the system likely lead to doxxing?

Awesomelink234 is banned on SmashWiki for this so I don’t really care if you ban her or not here but wanted to see if this is something you would ban her for.

Yoshi's Island 20:48, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

We are already aware, but thanks for bringing to my attention regardless. - Gigi (talkedits) 01:33, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I want to make a survey for WiKirby. Which questions can I put there?[edit]

I was thinking of making users answer which country they are in (so when sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup happen), they can answer how far they predict their country will advance in the competition. Would asking which country you are in be considered too personal for people? The survey would never ask which specific region (such as New York, Alberta or Berlin) you are in, just the country.

Sorry, but I don't really understand the relationship between WiKirby and sports events, or any other reason why we would want to know which country WiKirby users are from other than for curiosity. I really wouldn't be comfortable asking any sort of personal information from any user. - Gigi (talkedits) 01:35, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
I just wanted neutral topics as a survey and figured that sporting events would be a good way to start but wanted to know what subjects should a survey be about.

We already have User:Kirb/Survey which I see you filled so you are aware of. Why do you believe we need yet another survey for editors? - Gigi (talkedits) 14:06, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
I felt like making my own survey but probably should just suggest new ones instead.

Email staff use[edit]

Is there an email address that is shared among WiKirby staff, the same way Nookipedia does? Yoshi's Island 13:15, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

About NoRedLink referencing Super Smash Bros.[edit]

Why is this a Kirby reference in particular? It seems more like a direct reference to Super Smash Bros and is barely a direct reference to the Kirby series. Therefore, I see it as something that should go on SmashWiki instead of WiKirby.

Is it because getting Super Smash Bros. makes Kirby a selectable option for a question or something? Yoshi's Island 01:36, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Kirby is, you know, a character from the Kirby series. Referencing Kirby is refering the Kirby series. Even if there is Smash Bros. involved, it's still referencing Kirby.
I will admit I don't know that game, so I'm just going with the wording of what was written, but from what I understand that reference includes Kirby, so it's a Kirby reference. But next time, please discuss this in the page's talk page, it's more appropriate. - Gigi (talkedits) 01:43, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Username Rename[edit]

Can you please rename me to Clam Chowder? Wasu was a very personal nickname. KPR Hypernova Emblem Sticker.png Wasu 007 Conts · Talk 10:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

There you go! Enjoy your new name. - Gigi (talkedits) 12:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Kirby and the Search for the Dreamy Gears![edit]

Hello! I started to work on the page for Kirby and the Search for the Dreamy Gears!. Samwell asked me to update you about that. I work on it in my sandbox. -SilvTheGrape (talk) 16:48, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for letting me know! I am tracking what each person is doing regarding the novels to avoid duplicated work, but indeed, that one you can take, as no one has started it yet. - Gigi (talkedits) 12:34, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

New username[edit]

Hey, I would like to have my user name changed here in the wiki. The new username should be "WorthYapper958". --WorthYapper958 (talk) 17:20, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

There you go. Enjoy your new name! - Gigi (talkedits) 21:28, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Thank you :) --WorthYapper958 (talk) 11:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Shouldn’t we upload system buttons?[edit]

The same way MarioWiki has them, this would make explaining controls easier especially for Nintendo Switch titles. Yoshi's Island 19:50, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

I know someone once started a template like that but never finished. Honestly, not sure where that stands right now. Not opposed to it, though. - Gigi (talkedits) 01:12, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Shouldn’t there be an User NIWA template or would it just be unneccessary?[edit]

The same way SmashWiki has one Yoshi's Island 22:20, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Types[edit]

I put the element of the copy ability in the type section, because I saw that other copy ability pages have it. I did not know why only some of the pages had it, so I'm sorry for putting those on Wing and Beam pages. I can delete all the other elements on the other copy ability pages, if you wish. Please forgive me. This was a mistake of mine. I'm truly sorry, hope you're not mad. - IsaacBoi

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yeah, there was some confusion about the usage of that infobox parameter but it's been clarified and made consistent across pages now. - Gigi (talkedits) 16:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

About Image Optimizing[edit]

Hi, I'm planning to optimize/compress image and upload it there i'm just wondering it is allowed here? Since my recent contributions was not that good. BRZ (talk) 22:47, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, yes, it depends on the image and how you do it. Per what is written in WiKirby:Image standards, we allow lossless compression, as in, there's no quality lost for the image. The bottom of the main page of the wiki has a "Recommended downloads" sections that lists some programs you can use to do that. - Gigi (talkedits) 19:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Sorry for late reply, also yes i realized that but i use different compress image program and i would like send screenshot of my compress image to you and then when it is really compressed without any problems i can upload it to there but unfortunately i can't send screenshot to you. BRZ (talk) 22:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Do you have a Discord account? If so, it may be easier to join the WiKirby server and share that there. - Gigi (talkedits) 22:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

No sorry... BRZ (talk) 23:10, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Big bad and bigger bad roles[edit]

Please understand why they cannot always be main villains.

Just because they are final bosses it does not mean that they become main villains. There are others who can be main villains but they can’t always be both. MoGoBo97MovieMaker (talk) 05:44, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Jude da Dude message[edit]

Hey Gigi! Please forgive me for deleting the article! I'M REALLY SORRY!!!! :( It's just that there was a warning saying that the article must be renamed and I tried doing what you asked! It was an accident! - User:Jude da Dude

You are fine, read the message I just left in your talk page that explains better the proper way to move pages for the future. - Gigi (talkedits) 14:33, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

About adding photos...[edit]

Hi Gigi! I'm new to this wiki, and I can't figure out how to add photos to a page on an ios device. I wanted to now if there's a way to do it on ios or if I needed to do it on a computer, thanks in advance! Poyo22 (talk) 00:39, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi there. First of all, you will need to be autoconfirmed, which you can be once you do 5 total edits in the wiki and have been registered for 24 hours. After that, please check this guide to see how to do that. I personally have never uploaded images from a phone, but I know some editors who almost exclusively edit on phones, but I'm not sure if they do on iOS or Android. So, sadly, I don't know the answer to that question, but I believe you should be able to? Regardless, at least know that WiKirby has a high standard for everything, including pictures, so at least keep that in mind when you upload pictures. - Gigi (talkedits) 00:45, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for responding! Poyo22 (talk) 17:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
