It is important to be use the correct file format and to follow toe appropriate naming convention when uploading images to BG3Wiki. | |||
== Naming convention == | |||
Image names should be brief, concise and descriptive. They use the following format: | |||
<div>Prefix_name_suffix.fileformat.png/.webp</div> | |||
; Prefix : A brief term that gives context to the image. When contextually applicable, it can be the primary [[:Category:Images|category]] of the image. | |||
; File name : The file name is simply the name of the image. More specific guidelines can be found under the appropriate sections. | |||
; Suffix : Added when further classification of needed, and can be a single word or an abbreviation. | |||
The following image names use a Prefix_Page_name_Suffix format: | |||
* Underdark_Sussur_Tree.png | |||
* Underdark_Mushrooms.png | |||
* Underdark_Mush_Bibberbang.png | |||
* Underdark_Arcane_Tower_NE.png | |||
* Underdark_Arcane_Tower_S.png | |||
=== Items and objects === | |||
Includes in-game items and objects. | |||
* '''Faded images, 380x380''' | |||
** Prefix_Itemname_Faded.png/.webp | |||
* '''Unfaded images, 144x144''' | |||
** Prefix_Itemname_Unfaded.png/.webp | |||
* '''Unfaded images, 64x64''' | |||
* Prefix_Itemname_Unfaded_Icon.png/.webp | |||
The '''Prefix''' is usually the [[:Category:Images|category]] of the item, and does not need to be included when it is unnecessary or the item or object lacks any specific category. | |||
In cases where an item or object has multiple image variations, distinguish them by using a single letter following the item name: | |||
* Backpack_A_Unfaded_Icon.png | |||
* Backpack_B_Unfaded_Icon.png | |||
When multiple items or objects share the same in-game image, only one file should be uploaded. Instead of uploading duplicate images, create Redirects to that image using the same naming conventions as above, corresponding to each item using that image. | |||
=== Game mechanics === | |||
Includes spells, actions, abilities, conditions, passive features, and feats. | |||
* '''Large faded images''' | |||
** Page_Name.webp | |||
* '''Small unfaded icons''' | |||
** '''Transparent background''' | |||
*** Page_Name_Icon.webp | |||
** '''Opaque background''' | |||
*** Page_Name_Condition_Icon.webp | |||

=== Character images === | |||
For character pages, whenever possible, include {{em|both}} a cinematic portrait/screenshot {{em|and}} a transparent full-body model of the character. Display the cinematic portrait first and ensure the [[Template:PageSeo|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). | For character pages, whenever possible, include {{em|both}} a cinematic portrait/screenshot {{em|and}} a transparent full-body model of the character.

== 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. | When using the File template, alt text (text which appears when the image fails to load) should be added as necessary to improve accessibility.
