Hello everyone. It seems that we are going to need some kind of images standardization and ASAP. Currently there are 16158 images with no category. The worst thing is that there is no real ''policy'' regarding images and this is beginning to be a problem. So I have created a suggestion for it here, please take your time to read it and write your ideas what should be corrected or do you think that is ok. Thank you. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

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 here: [[:Category:Images]].

The files are in the mess, both in naming and categorization sense. As there is no ''bot magic'' to fix all of that, cleanup process will be long and painful.

==Guidelines==
+
===Warning for to many avatars pictures===
*All images should be updated to be "easy" to find. The best is to name the image with the name of country, alliance, citizen... Depending about what the image is. To assist you, this are the rules:
+
[[Template:AvatarWarning|New special warning]] (<nowiki>{{AvatarWarning}}</nowiki>) will be added both to citizen page and user talk page of that citizen. So there is no need to add deletion templates to the files of the citizen, '''simply add this warning to citizen and user talk page''' and sysop will delete the files when the warning expires or when user writes which one should be deleted. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

**Flags should be updated with Flag-{flag name}. Example [[:File:Flag-Croatia.jpg]]
+
**Coats should be updated with Coat-{coat name}. Example [[:File:Coat-USA.jpg]]
+
**Citizen logos
+
**Maps should start with Map-
+
**All other images
+
*All images require a category and should have one category. To ease up what category should be one of the following:
+
**[[:Category:Alliance Logos]] - all images connected with alliances, including flags, maps, coat of arms and logos.
+
**[[:Category:Ball Icons]] - all ball icons. They should look like: Icon-NAMEOFTHEICON. In this category is also a subcategory only for official national 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:Company Avatars]] - for all companies. Use name of the company for the logo.
+
**[[:Category:Flags]] - These are the flags with the naming convention of Flag-NAME OF THE FLAG. National flags are in the special category [[:Category:Country Flags]].
+
**[[Category:Game Icons]] - all icons connected to the erepublik game play. It has several subcategories, so try to put in one of them.
+
**[[Category:Imagemaps]] - Image maps that are used to show certain regions of a country.
+
  
*At this moment, DO NOT create new categories or subcategories, use one of the mentioned above.
+
===Fast cleanup===
*If you think that additional category should be used, please discuss it in the [[eRepublik:Bar|Bar]]
+
As now we have the policy, every new uploaded file be reviewed immediately and naming and categorization rules will be applied. So try to upload the files with sense - don't add random numbers and letters. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

===Slow cleanup===
If you have any questions on proper categorization of the image, please contact the sysops or make a note on the [[eRepublik:Bar|Bar]].

The idea is to review all files and this will be done by reaching certain images in a certain time.

PROJECT: Cleaning up the files

The files are in the mess, both in naming and categorization sense. As there is no bot magic to fix all of that, cleanup process will be long and painful. To ease up this, there will be three segments in which editors should go, so feel free to help. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;))

Warning for to many avatars pictures

New special warning ({{AvatarWarning}}) will be added both to citizen page and user talk page of that citizen. So there is no need to add deletion templates to the files of the citizen, simply add this warning to citizen and user talk page and sysop will delete the files when the warning expires or when user writes which one should be deleted. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;))

Fast cleanup

As now we have the policy, every new uploaded file be reviewed immediately and naming and categorization rules will be applied. So try to upload the files with sense - don't add random numbers and letters. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;))

Slow cleanup

The idea is to review all files and this will be done by reaching certain images in a certain time. This process will be long and probably done in couple of years as it will be marked low priority. --AndyCro Icon-Croatia.png Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;))

The staff

Currently only Bogi and me are doing slow cleanup and warnings, while sysops (mostly small Y) and me will do fast cleanup and warnings.
