MediaWiki:Uploadtext
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Use the form below to upload new files.
Note: Your file will be deleted unless you provide the following information about your upload:
- The source of the file:
- This means the specific name (and preferably page number or time code) of the medium or the web address where the image was found.
- Wookieepedia does not allow non-canon images to be used in the main namespace.
- An image copyright tag, either selected from the drop-down list below or included in the upload summary,
- A thorough description of the content.
| Unused images are deleted weekly. For free image hosting, try ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or a similar provider. Abuse of Wookieepedia's upload function for personal use will result in a temporary or permanent block per our blocking policy. Before uploading images for your personal page, refer to the user image policy. |
| Please choose a descriptive title for the image before uploading it, since images cannot be moved or renamed in the same manner as regular pages. |
Copy and paste the following code into the "Summary" field below and fill in the correct information to properly source your image:
{{Information
|attention=
|description=
|source=
|author=
|filespecs=
|licensing=
|other versions=
|cat artist=
|cat licensee=
|cat subject=
|cat type=
}}
- The "attention" field will generally not be used on a new upload, except for {{Notorphan}}.
- The "description" field should be used for an accurate description of the file's contents. This information should be listed whether or not the template is used.
- The "source" field should list the specific source that the item comes from. Page numbers are optional but encouraged. If the source is a website, the URL is mandatory. This information should be listed whether or not the template is used.
- "Author" is an optional field for author/artist information.
- "Filespecs" should be used to list specific information about any editing or processing the file has undergone -- this is critical for any image which has been modified from the original source. This information should be listed whether or not the template is used.
- "Licensing" is an absolutely non-optional field which must be used to indicate the license, and "GFDL" or "public domain" licenses must not be used for anything copyrighted by Lucasfilm or an affiliate. This information must be listed whether or not the template is used.
- "Other versions" should be used to indicate when alternate but non-duplicate versions or formats of a file are available.
- The "cat" fields are for image categories. Do not use these fields unless you are certain of how the image categorization system works.
If you just skipped past everything above to get to the part where you upload the file, your upload will probably be deleted!
