Watch out for those file names - "vr.gif" isn't very descriptive and could get lost in the system. cdn:Manual of style/Naming files etc. -Black Squirrel (talk) 06:28, 21 June 2021 (EDT)
Yo back (IronTJ) Yeah sorry about that, I'm just trying to upload all these pictures and these are the names they gave them back in the early 2000s. I'll try to change all the file names next time to be more in depth. Thanks Black Squirrel
references + images
just to give a couple of pointers here, when referencing web pages it's a good idea to properly put the reference templates in place - use [1] when linking a page and
- ↑ [ ]
when doing so
and as far as I can tell you're only uploading the compressed thumbnail images from the old sega.jp location database - simply opening the photo in a new tab should bring up a slightly higher res version, though this is dependent on itself being backed up in addition; you can't guarantee all of them being there. Sometimes the reverse is true and the thumbnail doesn't show, so keep an eye out
anyway, especially considering how small some of these images are, it's best to go back and replace all of the instances where it's possible - I've uploaded the fuller res version of Ikebukuro GiGO's photo for example. Hope this is of help -Ted618 (talk) 13:10, 23 June 2021 (GMT)
hey, I've been meaning to get in touch with you, as you see I'm not very good at image or reference tagging and I see that you fix those mistakes for me on the many pages I've edited and first thx. Second I have no idea how to add images to pages. I have the main image for Sega World Tarumi but I have no clue how to add it as the gallery and I also have an interior image for Sega World Takahagi. I was wondering if you'd be willing to help since I've seen you mostly are always imbedding pictures to the many of pages. Thx! - Onethinkings
Image tagging
Those are much better file names, and useful uploads
but can I ask that, since you're uploading so many photos, that you add
{{location|Sega World (Japan)}}or
{{location|Hi-Tech Sega}}or whatever to the description field - just so they're put in the right place
e.g.
Otherwise they end up in Special:UncategorizedFiles, which isn't ideal. I've mass-replaced most of the ones you've already uploaded. ta -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:52, 1 July 2021 (EDT)
- Hey (Black Squirrel), it's (IronTJ), I'll try to work on that, I just thought that it would do the job since it links to the article that it goes to, but I'll try to add it. So I just add it to the bottom of the picture, correct? Also, when you replaced my pictures, did you add the category?
- Thanks.

Iron TJ again, thanks I seemed to figure it out and add them to the pictures, the only ones I didn't add onto were Sonic Town ones since they don't have a specific page to take it too since they are mostly add-ons or different types of sega worlds. ThanksBlack Squirrel
