Image Upload Details Table

A few good things to know about uploading images at the wiki:

Image Upload Details Table
Topic Remarks
Uploading Images At this time, only registered users can upload images.
  • Images are uploaded using a command on the left bar labeled "Upload file."
Recommended Image Sizes Infobox images: maximum of 250 pixels in width
  • Top Right Symbols: No maximum, but recommend 150 to 250 pixels in width on average. Larger images may be appropriate for some articles.
  • Ship Images: Recommended maximum of 500 to 600 pixels in width... Otherwise they tend to butt against infoboxes.
  • Quality: recommend low to medium quality. Aiming for 200 Kb or less in size. Higher quality images may be justified in some cases.
  • There is a 2.0 Mb (2,000 Kb) limit to file upload sizes on the wiki.
Image Naming & Structure It is recommended that the name of the image, the artist, the source, and the date be included in the file name.

This is an imperfect example: 

* FILE: Azhanti-FULL-IMAGE-CT-Fighting-Ships-Pg-31_04-Sept-2018a
Image Location in an Article It is recommended that images be located under a subheading called:
  • Image Repository
  • They are typically numbered with a break between the caption and image.
  • Other formats are perfectly acceptable as well.
=== Image Repository ===
# Caption <br> [[File: TBD.jpg]]

<br> = break

History & Background (Dossier)

The Traveller RPG Wiki is still building an image library that covers but a small percent of what is available from Traveller's nearly 2,000 publications.

  • The #1 rule is to make sure that the image owner and/or creator has given consent to the image being uploaded here. Please directly ask the image owner / creator and keep a written or electronic record of the permission being given. You may be asked to provide that proof of permission. Be on the right side of copyright.
  • The wiki has permission from FFE and several other publishers to use their images in a non-profit way subject to the images being taken down upon request.
  • Still, you should ask before you upload an image. A wiki moderator may be able to help you with this.
  • Many artists have been generous to share their images with the wiki and it's customary to include a hyperlink back to the artist's site and to refer potential business to an artist if they are ok with that. Just ask.

Fan Art Submissions

The wiki welcomes fan art and will accept most image donations. Images must be family friendly and avoid overly sexual themes. Just contact a moderator if you have any questions.
