Whirled:Image tags

From Whirled

Images & files on the Whirled Wiki must be tagged to help adhere to copyright laws and identify free material for use. They should also use correctly formatted file names.

Here are some image and file upload tagging guidelines and rules of thumb:

• All images should include a descriptive summary or an image tag.
  • Please tag images on the image description page with one of the tags below so we can keep track of its status. The tags should be put on a line of their own.
• When marking an image as one of the vaguer categories (such as {{whirled image}} ^(Usage)), try to describe the source of the file or its reason for being here.
• If multiple categories apply to an image, add all that apply.
• Along with a tag, specify the source or copyright holder information (if the image is a screenshot taken in-game, this step can be omitted). Provide as much detail as possible.
• Please put more thought to the file naming of images as well—check the Image list to see if a naming scheme is already in place for the type of image you are uploading.
• Finally, scroll down to see the whole set of tagging options.
