=== How to upload files and images === | |||
[[File:upload_file.png|right|thumb|Uploading a file]] | |||
You can upload an image from your computer using the [[Special:Upload|Upload File]] function from the left-hand navigation toolbar. | |||
Some guidelines to keep in mind when uploading images: | |||
* '''Licensing:''' Follow the wiki's [[BG3Wiki: Copyrights|copyright policy]]. | |||
* Consult the [[Help:Style Guide#Media|Style Guide]] to ensure your images are of the correct format. | |||
* '''Compression:''' It's recommended to compress large files, both to conserve space and to improve page loading times for wiki readers. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
* '''Categories:''' Edit an image to add it to one or more categories. This can greatly help other contributors find the image in the future. | |||
====How to remove black backgrounds==== | |||
[[File:Removebg.webp|right|thumb|How to use Remove.bg website]] | |||
For [[:Template:CharacterInfo|statblocks]] sometimes it's necessary to upload a transparent screenshot of an in-game model. | |||
If you don't know your way around Photoshop you can just use [https://www.remove.bg/ Remove.bg] website to do it for you for free. It scales the image down but it doesn't matter for infobox purposes. | |||
* Go toΒ [https://www.remove.bg/ Remove.bg]. | |||
* Upload the image with backround you need to remove (either by drag and dropping or simply Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V). | |||
* Wait for result. | |||
* Click on the blue Download button. | |||
* Upload the image to the wiki and don't forget to rename it to {{InfoBlob|Character_name_Model.png}} | |||
If the result erased too much or not enough, you can Edit it on the website to Erase/Restore features. | |||
In the [[:Template:CharacterInfo]] you can add the Transparent Model images as the main image if it's a nameless [[:Category:Creatures|Creature]]. Otherwise, if it's a named character you'll need to fill in these attributes: | |||
{{InfoBlob|<nowiki>| alt-name = Model</nowiki><br> | |||
<nowiki>| alt-image = [[File:Character_name_Model.png|200px]]</nowiki>}} | |||
