Image Uploads

Hey Hesto! We appreciate you looking to add images to fill out the wiki, but I wanted to give you a few tips to explain why I ultimately deleted the image you uploaded. First off, we categorize all our images so they are organized, you didn't have a category on your upload but since it was a shield you would add "[[Category:Shield Images]]" to the summary on upload. You can also add it after the fact if you forget. This is the case for items, mobs, locations, etc. Everything should have at least one category.

The other good practice is to check for existing images, usually by going to the category for the image like the one I previously mentioned. We want to try to avoid a bunch of duplicates of the same exact item model. It happens, but the less we do it the better. You could upload a new version of an existing image if the existing image is of poor quality, but otherwise items using the same model can all share one picture. I went ahead and added the existing image to the item you uploaded yours for, you can see it here as an example: Item:Wall of the Resolute Guardian.

Let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me here or on the discord. Thanks! --Mastersturm (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
