Thanksgiving

Thanks a lot Tankmanfan44 my goal is just to make the Wiki better and fix the pages, then another thing can you please create the page dedicated to self-validated users --Kevin2008 (talk) 14:03, 12 September 2026 (MST)

Note

Could you not delete showcase videos on the wiki? If you'd like to move them to its proper title then that's fine. --Tankmanfan44 (talk) 21:22, 11 September 2026 (MST)

I don't delete them, I just delete the old version and make a new but it's always the same video but with a different title. --Kevin2008 (talk) 14:10, 12 September 2026 (MST)

Yes, but you can always move the video to a different title if it's incorrect instead of reuploading it under a different name.

Also, make sure to sign your messages by adding 4 tildes (~~~~) next to it. --Tankmanfan44 (talk) 07:52, 12 September 2026 (MST)

Thanks for helping me

Thank you so much for this advice because I didn't know how to do it. --Kevin2008 (talk) 14:13, 12 September 2026 (MST)

You still keep doing it. In case you aren't already aware, the proper way to move pages is to navigate to the "More" button, then press "Move". --Tankmanfan44 (talk) 17:01, 22 September 2026 (MST)

I already knew this function for moving pages, no need to explain it to me thanks. --Kevin2008 (talk) 17:08, 22 September 2026 (MST)

Yes, but you still keep deleting files and reuploading them under different names. Stop doing that! I saw that you did it again recently with File:Mentos + Pepsi (censored).mp4 and File:Maze Game 8 (censored).mp4. Move the file name to its correct title and do not delete it. --Tankmanfan44 (talk) 19:51, 22 September 2026 (MST)

Final warning (read carefully)

I've noticed that you still keep uploading files that are exact copies of files that already exist on the wiki, but under different names. Earlier today, you uploaded File:Maze 1 (censored).mp4 even though it is an exact copy of File:Maze1Censored.mp4. Please do not do that.

Uploading duplicate files is an issue for two reasons: it takes away credit from the person who uploaded the original file first, and it creates extra work for me because I have to track down and remove the duplicates you've left behind.

For the last time, if you want to rename a file, you need to use the "Move" function on the original file's page. Do not use the upload form to upload a video that already exists on the wiki.

I'm going to give you a simple example of what to do: If you see a file titled File:ScaryScreamerCensored.mp4 (for example), and you think it should be called File:Scary Screamer (censored).mp4, then do not upload the video again under the new name. Instead, go to File:ScaryScreamerCensored.mp4, click More and then Move, and move the existing file to File:Scary Screamer (censored).mp4. That way, the original file, its upload history, and the original uploader's credit are all preserved.

Does that make sense now? --Tankmanfan44 (talk) 11:46, 24 September 2026 (MST)

Thanks, I think this time I understood how to do it. I didn't do it before because I didn't know about this function. --Kevin2008 (talk) 13:51, 24 September 2026 (MST)

Sounds good. You should also uncheck the box that says "Leave a redirect behind" when moving files, so that way you don't end up creating unnecessary redirects. --Tankmanfan44 (talk) 14:09, 24 September 2026 (MST)

In fact I deleted the old address and now it's fine. --Kevin2008 (talk) 14:11, 24 September 2026 (MST)
