Guidelines
The current PCGamingWiki guidelines on images can be found in the Editing guide:
Embed uploaded images on pages
| Embed individual images |
|---|
|
To include an image in a article, use the {{Image}} template in the below form:
|
| Embed multiple images as part of a gallery |
|---|
|
To include multiple images that are part of a collection, use the following format: <gallery> File name 1.png|Caption1 File name 2.png|Caption2 </gallery> |
- A caption is mandatory. The caption does not have to be lengthy, just a word or two describing the image.
- Standard markup for placing images on pages is supported via the
[[File:]]tag, but should be avoided where possible. Custom PCGW templates, such as the previously mentioned {{Image}}, should be used instead to ensure consistency across articles.
Upload form
Requirements:
- File size lower than 16 MB.
- Resolution lower than 12.5 MP (e.g. 4000x3125px or less).
- While an image larger than 12.5 megapixels can be uploaded, no thumbnails will be generated for it.
