It is not alright to upload a screenshot of this armor from StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in this section however, as this depicts a point in time that does not correspond to the relevant information. In the relevant section of his article for this event, it is alright to upload artwork of the suit, provided it does not refer to a specific point in time or event. Take Jim Raynor as an example, where he first received his CMC-300 Powered Combat Suit. Art is more general however, and can therefore be inserted in more places within an article where appropriate.
Keep in mind however, that while cinematic/cutscene scenes may have more detail, they are limited in use to the moment they are referring to. The highest quality images generally fall into the range of (concept) art and cutscene screenshots. game sprites, which are best reserved for a gameplay section as stated above). Generally, the more detailed the image, the 'better' it is, and should be used over more simplistic ones (e.g. Artwork/cinematics should be used here, as it's the core image of an article.Īre some images better than others? Such a question is subjective and there is no right answer. Also, some gameplay templates begin in the top section of an article. There are exceptions to this-portrait images have become more detailed and can be fitted into an in-universe section if appropriate. should be reserved for the in-universe content.
"Game images go with game sections, lore images go with lore." This is only really applicable where articles are divided as such, but for the most part, game sprites should be reserved for the gameplay section of an article, whilst artwork, cinematics, etc. Rather, it should be of him during the conflict as image quality dictates. That being said, the image does not have to be up to the most recent minute. Jim Raynor's profile picture should be of him during the Second Great War. Note that "most recent" corresponds to a period of time rather than a direct point in it-e.g. In other words, for an article such as the zergling, an image pertaining to its Second Great War appearance should be presented first rather than its Great War/ Brood War form, though these should still be present in the (overview section of) the article as placing permits. the first one encountered), the most recent image should be used. See how large an image is, where it goes down to vertically, and once its reached its lowermost point, the section below can be supplemented by another image.Īlso note that as for the core image of an article (e.g. Generally, images should not be parallel to each other, on either side of the text. Any supplementary images can be worked into a gallery. It is always best to preview an image edit before saving changes for this reason. In other words, images should not disrupt the flow of the main text by stacking. Images are there to supplement the text, not overshadow it. This is subjective, and editing should be in good faith, but a few pointers should be remembered: When uploading images to an article, the question must be asked as to where they should be inserted. Many images exist within the wiki and even more are available. Check the image categories and unused file list to see if an appropriate image has already been uploaded.New images should depict something that no existing image does, perhaps in terms of the act depicted or point of view.Replacing an image with a higher quality version is permitted, given the new version is appropriately sized. A duplicate is any lower quality version of an existing image. They may still be uploaded but their numbers should be limited and their use confined to user images and pages. For example, taking a picture of a Blizzard poster on the wall with a digital camera.įan works are not suitable for general use on the wiki. For example, capturing a still of a cinematic from a computer. For example, images taken directly from Blizzard websites. These works may come to the wiki in the following forms: Images for general use on the StarCraft Wiki generally depict work created by Blizzard authorized sources, whether they be Blizzard employees, or companies or individuals contracted from outside for specific projects, as may be the case for concept art.
