Image layout and presentation

Character images

For character pages, whenever possible, include both a cinematic portrait/screenshot and a transparent full-body model of the character. Display the cinematic portrait first and ensure the PageSeo template has been invoked with the cinematic portrait as the image parameter. This will help ensure consistency across character pages and external link previews (e.g. social media sites and Discord).

Cinematic Portrait Example - display this first.
Model Example

Exception: When an official render or character art is available - as in the case of Origin characters such as Lae'zel - display that image first.

Official Transparent Art - display this first.

Exception: For common, non-named creatures, it is okay to display a model first.

Transparent full-body model for the common, non-named Lesser Imp

Image alt text

When using the File template, alt text (text which appears when the image fails to load) should be added as necessary to improve accessibility. The text should be clear, concise and descriptive.

Alt text can be added to the File template with this parameter:

|alt=

Examples

Good alt text:

{{File:A_Nice_Summer_Stay.png|alt=Astarion flinching in pain after being hurt by concentrated sunlight at the Githyanki Créche.}}
{{File:Gale_Flirting.png|alt=Gale is serenading Tav while sitting on Mystra's picnic blanket at Lake Hurricane.}}

Poor alt text:

{{File:A_Nice_Summer_Stay.png|alt=Astarion discovering the difference between a nice Summer stay and the full concentrated power of the sun.}}
{{File:Gale_Flirting.png|alt=Gale sings while sitting at lake.}}
