Wiki pages should have ad least one image (file) that improves the quality of that page. To help editors navigate and use images correctly, some rules have to be followed. The list of all images can be found in Category:Images.
Guidelines
First and most important is that wiki is not a hosting service. Because of it we have some guidelines which you should follow when uploading the file.
- Before you upload the image, please check the File list or Category:Images to find is the image already uploaded.
- If image is not uploaded, please upload it so it can be "easy" to find. The best is to name the image with the name of country, alliance, citizen... Depending about what the image is. You should follow the naming and categorization rules which can be found below.
- Do not upload more images for the same thing, especially avatars for the same citizen - use re-upload option - visit the image you wish to update with new version and click the link below it. Example: File:Menu_my_places.jpg
Naming
When you are uploading an image, please use standardization in naming them:
- Flags should be updated as Flag-{flag name}.
- Example File:Flag-Croatia.jpg
- Coats should be updated as Coat-{coat name}.
- Example File:Coat-Uruguay.jpg
- Citizen (User) logos should be updated as the citizen name or citizen ID.
- Example: File:Daniel Dimow.jpg or File:Citizen1544872.jpg
- Maps should be updated as Map-{map name}. There are exceptions, view categories below.
- If you are uploading an image which is an image in non-English language, please add country or language name at the end... File:CategoryNewspaper-Croatian.jpg
- All other images should be updated so that is easy to understand about what is the picture about, avoid random usage of numbers or letters. Try to write an explanation of the image and use category for it.
Categorization
All images require a category and should have only one category. To ease up what category should be one of the following:
- Category:Alliance Logos - all images connected with alliances
- Category:Ball Icons - all ball icons
- Category:Charts - all charts.
- Category:Coat of Arms - all coats. Country and Region coats have subcategories - Category:Region Coat of Arms and Category:Country Coat of Arms

- Category:Flags - These are the flags with the naming convention of Flag-{flag name}. National flags are in the category Category:Country Flags.
- Category:Game Icons - all icons connected to the erepublik game play
- Category:Maps - Please add them with naming convention of Map-{map name}. You can add date to it. Exceptions are:
- Category:Country Maps - Maps of countries. Naming convention is: Map-{country name}.
