When you're adding images to room articles (which is very helpful btw; we have more articles missing images than stubs right now), would you please use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save page" button so you can get the image on the page in one edit? If you click save and then realize you missed something, which happens to all of us, please mark those edits fixing the mistake as "minor".

You can add the <nowiki>{{source}}</nowiki> template to images by adding that code (and any other code you want) to the edit summary ''as you upload the image''. That way, you won't have to go back and add the <nowiki>{{source}}</nowiki> template manually ''after'' the image has been uploaded. This cuts down on unnecessary edits and keeps the [[Special:RecentChanges|RC]] pretty. =) Furthermore, adding additional parameters to the source template (such as |game=, |obtained=, etc, see [[Template:Source]] for more info) keeps the images nicely sourced and categorized. Hope that helps!

Revision as of 21:43, 29 September 2011
Welcome
Few things
A few things about images, please don't use image templates like {{screenshot}}. We're in the process of replacing those with {{source}} (with those templates being on well over 1000 file pages, it takes some time). If you are having trouble filling out that source template, don't worry about it, just include some details like where you got it from and if it was edited or not in the file summary and we can handle the rest. Also try not to upload images with capitalized extensions (.JPG and such), if you forget to do this it only takes a second for another administrator or I to move it to a lower cased extension. Anyway thanks for your contributions so far and I hope you'll stick around. MK

Room edits
When you're adding images to room articles (which is very helpful btw; we have more articles missing images than stubs right now), would you please use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save page" button so you can get the image on the page in one edit? If you click save and then realize you missed something, which happens to all of us, please mark those edits fixing the mistake as "minor". Thanks for your time.

When uploading images...
You can add the {{source}} template to images by adding that code (and any other code you want) to the edit summary as you upload the image. That way, you won't have to go back and add the {{source}} template manually after the image has been uploaded. This cuts down on unnecessary edits and keeps the RC pretty. =) Furthermore, adding additional parameters to the source template (such as |game=, |obtained=, etc, see Template:Source for more info) keeps the images nicely sourced and categorized. Hope that helps! Feel free to drop any questions on my talk page or the talk page of any Administrator. —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 21:43, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
