Tempest Rising Wiki:Image and video policy
This page contains the Tempest Rising Wiki's image and video policy. It describes rules for images and videos which are uploaded to the wiki.
- Policies set general rules for the wiki's administration and its content.
- Any registered editor is free to edit this page to improve its readability as long as the essence of the article remains unchanged.
- If you would like to suggest content changes or propose a new policy or guideline, please use the discussion page.
- See the policies and guidelines page for an overview of this wiki's policies and guidelines.
General
- Images and videos are subject to the general content criteria. In addition, there are some specific rules for this type of content outlined below.
Images
- Images may only be uploaded for use in articles and on user pages. On talk or forum pages, please link external images instead. Images for use in one's signature are considered user page images.
Article images
- Images should be of good quality.
- Images should never include parts of the UI (HUD, crosshair) unless the point of the given image is to illustrate the UI itself.
- Images should have a descriptive name.
- If possible, images should not include any third party watermarks.
User page images
- NSFW user page images are strictly prohibited.
Videos
- Embedded videos may only be used in articles if they illustrate issues which cannot be expressed by written text at all or only with difficulty. Examples for acceptable videos are game trailers or a video illustrating how to find an item which is in a hard-to-find location.
- Videos should be embedded on pages using the EmbedVideo extension.
Naming
Exceptions may be made to the names of uploaded files.
Unit and building images
Files for unit and building articles should take the following format:
[Source]_[Faction]_[Name]_[Type].[Extension]
Note the existence of underscores.
Source
This is an identifier for the source of content within the game the file is related to.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| TR | Tempest Rising |
Faction
This is an identifier for what faction the unit or building in the image belongs to. If the subject has no affiliation (i.e. is civilian), then this part may be omitted.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| GDF | Global Defense Forces |
| DYN | Tempest Dynasty |
Name
This is the name of the primary focus or subject of the image. Abbreviations and emphasis on main words are recommended to shorten the name. The naming must only contain alphanumeric characters and should follow Darwin case (capitalized snake case), e.g.: Field_Scout, Riot_Medic, Scrambler, Con_Yard, Adv_Power_Plant.
Type
This identifies the nature of the image. Use common sense when naming; this is not an exhaustive list.
If the image is that of the unit or building as depicted in gameplay, this section is omitted.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Render | 3D art. |
| Cinematic | Art from cinematics. |
| Concept | Concept art. |
| Icon | Side bar unit portraits. |
Every type identifier should be followed by a number, as there may be multiple images of the same type. For example, a category might have images named as follows: TR_Dynasty_Guard_Concept_1.jpg, TR_Dynasty_Guard_Concept_2.jpg, etc...
Case Sensitivity
Names are case sensitive. TR_GDF_Trebuchet.jpg is not the same as Tr_gdf_trebuchet.jpg.
Extension
The [Extension] represents the extension of the image file type. The extension must always be lowercase.
Gameplay depictions of the subject are recommended to be uploaded as high-quality JPEG (.jpg) images, while in-game icons are recommended to be uploaded as PNG (.png).
All JPEG images must use the .jpg extension.
