Pressure Wiki:File Policy
The following page details guidelines what kind of files can be uploaded, and how to categorize them.
Before You Upload
Before you upload a file, you should keep these things in mind:
- Don't upload images obtained from game files or assets. Violations will result in a warning, but can lead to a block if you continue to upload these images while being aware that they violate this policy.
- File names should be specific about what they are used for. (Eg. do not upload "Angler.png", instead look for a better name like "Angler Screenshot 2.png")
- Don't upload files that already exist on the wiki. This includes images that differ in resolution and background. Several images of the same monster in different contexts should be avoiced unless they are important. (Eg. One image of regular angler ingame, one image of eyeless Angler)
- Don't upload files without adding it to a page. The point of files is for them to be used, if you can't think of a use, don't upload it.
- If the file is for your user page, categorize it under the correct user category. User images should also not contain mainspace categories.
- Categorize every file appropriately according to this policy.
User Files
Files may be uploaded for personal use outside of mainspace articles. These can go on your user profile or user subpages. Be sure to categorize it under the respective category: User Images, User Audio, or User Videos. Only use these categories for personal files, all other categories are reserved for files used on articles.
Categories
All files should be categorized typically only under one category. The following list shows all mainspace categories, which are reserved for files used on main articles.
Overhead Categories
These are categories only meant to organize other categories, and thus should not be added to individual files. The sole exception is the Videos category, which currently has no mainspace subcategories.
