Use the form below to upload files. To view or search previously uploaded files, go to the list of uploaded files. (Re)uploads are also logged in the upload log and deletions in the deletion log.
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
[[File:File.jpg]]to use the full version of the file[[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]]to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with "alt text" as description[[:File:File.ogg]]for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
File info
To fill out the file information, add the relevant data after the equals sign on the appropriate line. Please fill out the fields to the best of your knowledge, but do not guess. For any that you don't know, leave the field blank.
- description: A brief description of the file's contents, if the file name is not clear enough.
- author: The person, people, and/or AI that contributed to the creation of the file. If a screenshot, this can be the name of the website, and post author(s) if applicable.
- license: The license and usage permissions of the file. If it is a commonly used license, simply enter the name and information will be displayed automatically. If there is explicitly no license, enter "none".
- You can explicitly set the license to "unknown" to mark the file as likely unlicensed for our use, adding a notice below the info box (see Category:Unlicensed files).
- source: The URL where the file was obtained, or the person who provided it, if they are the creator. If possible, link to the original source, not a repost. If the uploader is the creator of the file, you can enter "self".
- affiliation: The group with which the file is associated. Please spell out abbreviations and capitalize correctly. If it is not an image officially used by a group, enter "none".
- game: The game with which the file is associated. If none, leave blank.
- type: The usage type of the file. For example: "avatar", "flag" (see subtypes), "job tag", "archive", "screenshot", "war ribbon", "logo", "publication".
- notes: Any miscellaneous notes which are important to the file and not covered in other fields. For example, alternative versions, any modifications made before uploading it, or items of interest it features.
- If the wiki's copy of the file is known to be hotlinked elsewhere, such as the NPO forums, note it in this field.
