Legion Wiki talk:Image conventions

Better to contribute to Legion Pics?

Rather than uploading new full sized images to the Wiki, would it be more useful to contribute them to LegionPics? Also, is there a way to create thumbnails of images without uploading a new smaller image?

You can't contribute directly to LegionPics, and Lightning Lad is away just now. If in doubt, upload the image here as-is, since there should be a page written for the issue (eventually), and if it's really too big or anything of the sort, I can resize it. :)

Type [[Image:imagename.ext|thumb|caption]] for a small, free-floating right-aligned image, and [[Image:imagename.ext|thumb|left|caption]] for the same, only left-aligned (replacing the bolded bits as needed, obviously). If you're putting an image in an Infobox, put [[Image:imagename.ext|250px]] on the image= line of the code. (see Kinetix for examples of both).

Reposting from Category talk:Glorithverse images, since I expounded a bit more there about the "why"s:

The no-scans-from-other-sites rule is mostly to head off complaints from the owners of those sites (which is why I excluded LegionPics since, y'know, Lightning Lad, the guy who runs that site also runs this one - they're both even under the same URL!). It'd be nice if you could reupload with better scans, but it doesn't need to be done right this very second.

And the resolution thing when they're already @ LegionPics is mostly because double-uploading when it's not needed drains the site's space - you can't really include an image not in the LegionWiki filing system in a page since you can't resize it/thumbnail it, so uploading stuff again is needed to an extent, but there's no point in going too far. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 10:47, 7 July 2006 (PDT)
