== Naming Rules ==


To view or search previously uploaded images go to the '''[[Special:Imagelist|list of uploaded files]]'''. Uploads and deletions are also logged in the [[Special:Log/upload|upload log]].
format: entries separated by '''underscores''' ({{hl|_}}): '''''projectId'''''_'''''filename'''''<!-- format: entries separated by '''dashes''' ({{hl|-}}): '''''gameId'''''-'''''filename''''' -->
* projectId: (Optional) see [[Bohemia Interactive Community:Naming Conventions|Naming Conventions]] (ofp, arma1, arma2, arma2oa, arma3, tkoh, tkom, ylands, rv, etc) '''if the picture shows this project's specific feature'''
* filename: a '''meaningful name''' (see examples); ''filename''<nowiki/>'s separators are '''dashes''' ({{hl|-}}). Use '''snake-casing''' (e.g {{hl|jeep-on-hill}}), '''not''' camelCasing/PascalCasing (e.g JeepOnHill)!
* colour: (Optional) define a specific variant, for example to know if an image needs a dark background - e.g {{hl|white}} (then needs a dark background)
* dimensions: (Optional) in format Xres'''x'''Yres, e.g {{hl|256x512}}


Don't use generic names like "010203.jpg" or "tank.jpg", but start any name with the game prefix (
== Image Usage ==
[[Naming_Conventions|ArmA, AiV, OFP, VBS]]) if it shows a feature of that particular game, followed by a ''descriptive'' file name (e.g. "ArmA_Closeup_of_Hummer", or "OFP_Map_of_Malden", etc.).


When uploading images of your own mods include your tag as a prefix (e.g. "BAS_Tonal.jpg"), and keep the numbers of pictures in your home and mod pages to a reasonable limit ([[Guidelines]]).
To include the image in a page, use {{hl|<nowiki>[[File:image-name.jpg]]</nowiki>}} or {{hl|<nowiki>[[Image:image-name.jpg]]</nowiki>}} ({{hl|File}} and {{hl|Image}} are interchangeable namespaces although {{hl|File}} is preferred).
 
See {{ExternalLink|link= https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images|text= MediaWiki Help}} for more information.
To include the image in a page, use a link in the form
'''<nowiki>[[Image:File.jpg]]</nowiki>''',
'''<nowiki>[[Image:File.png|alt text]]</nowiki>''' or
'''<nowiki>[[Image:File.ogg]]</nowiki>''' for directly linking to the file.

Naming Rules

format: entries separated by underscores (_): projectId_filename

  • projectId: (Optional) see Naming Conventions (ofp, arma1, arma2, arma2oa, arma3, tkoh, tkom, ylands, rv, etc) if the picture shows this project's specific feature
  • filename: a meaningful name (see examples); filename's separators are dashes (-). Use snake-casing (e.g jeep-on-hill), not camelCasing/PascalCasing (e.g JeepOnHill)!
  • colour: (Optional) define a specific variant, for example to know if an image needs a dark background - e.g white (then needs a dark background)
  • dimensions: (Optional) in format XresxYres, e.g 256x512

Image Usage

To include the image in a page, use [[File:image-name.jpg]] or [[Image:image-name.jpg]] (File and Image are interchangeable namespaces although File is preferred). See MediaWiki Help for more information.
