Aboutfiles for images[edit]

Hello, Claudio3862. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded syntax is shown below.

{{aboutfile
|1=Subject of the image
|2=Where you found the image
|3=Artist
|4=Describe edits, if any
|5=Other versions (use file link)
}}

Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line for the parameter(s) you don't use. A description of the image subject (parameter 1) should always be included, even if it's just a few words. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hi! Great work on uploading map images, but please be sure to fill in the aboutfile template when uploading them. If you're unsure on how to do so, allow me to help you out!

The aboutfile template has five parameters. Each one has a different use, so I'll go over them:

  • Subject of the image: In this parameter, simply describe what the image is about! It can be something like "The map of (stage) in (game)".
  • Where you found the image: Tell where you got the image from. If it's from a screenshot from you, you can say "in-game screenshot". If you got it from a video or website, be sure to provide the URL of it as well as the title.
  • Artist: For images relating to art. List the artist(s) involved with the picture.
  • Describe edits, if any: If you made any edits to the file, like cropping or resizing, list them here.
  • Other versions (use file link): Some images are very similar to each other, like character artworks with different backgrounds. If the image is similar to another already uploaded to the wiki, link to any that fit the bill here.

You don't have to use all parameters! Remove any you don't use. Be sure to keep the first one though.
