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! Feel free to drop any questions on my [[User_talk:Embyr_75|talk page]] or the talk page of any [[Metroid_Wiki:Staff_and_Contact|Administrator]]. {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 21:43, 29 September 2011 (UTC) | 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''.

:Hey there! Great job with your recent image uploads! They look awesome. =) Here's a little more info for your reference: | |||
:You can add which game the image you upload comes from and the type of image it is (usually a screenshot or artwork) by adding extra parameters to the <nowiki>{{source}}</nowiki> template. For example, if the image is a screenshot from ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', you can add the following parameters: | |||
<pre> | |||
{{source | |||
|game = mp2 | |||
|type = ss | |||
}} | |||
</pre> | |||
:Even better, if the shot came from a particular website, say, Youtube, you can add that, too, like this: | |||
<pre> | |||
{{source | |||
|game = mp2 | |||
|type = ss | |||
|obtained = YT | |||
|url = (add url to the video here!) | |||
}} | |||
</pre> | |||
:Adding the site it came from is more for people's reference, but if you at least add the |game= and |type= parameters, it will categorize the image for you! So, if you use the first example (with the parameters |game = mp2 and |type = ss) the image will automatically be categorized under <nowiki>[[Category: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Screenshots]]</nowiki>. Fancy, huh? =D Adding these parameters aren't imperative or anything, but it sure makes finding images easier! Keep up the great work!!! {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 20:35, 7 October 2011 (UTC) | |||

Hi there! Me again. =) I was wondering what your main source is for your images. Frankly, some of them are pretty pixelated, and while they're better than nothing, they'll have to be replaced as better images become available. May I ask if you're using Youtube to capture the images? If so, I'd like to recommend capturing images from walk-throughs by [http://www.youtube.com/user/capoland Capoland], who uploads many of his videos in HD. Loading the videos (or the section of the video containing the image you want) in 720p usually yields a crisper, brighter image. Regardless of what tools you have at your disposal, we appreciate any contribution you can make! =) See you around! {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 19:46, 4 October 2011 (UTC) | Hi there!
