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==

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.

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 [[Special:ListFiles|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, party, military unit... Depending about what the image is. You should follow the naming and categorization rules which can be found below.
+
*'''Do not upload more than one image 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]]
+
**Exceptions:
+
**Translated images (''images on different language'') for [[:Category:Playing the Game|Game related articles]]
+
**Citizen avatars. Main avatar + 4 additional avatars. '''Sysops will delete all avatars which exceed that quota'''.
+
===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 '''FileIDOFTHECITIZEN.jpg'''.
+
:Example: [[:File:Citizen1544872.jpg]]
+
:Note: Additional citizen avatars have to have versions; Example: [[:File:Daniel Dimow v2.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===
+
===Warning for to many avatars pictures===
All images require a category and should have only '''one''' category. To ease up what category should be one of the following:
+
[[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?

*[[:Category:Alliance Logos]] - all images connected with [[alliance]]s
+
*[[: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:Company Avatars]] - all company logos.  
+
*[[: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}'''.
+
**[[:Category:Region Maps]] - Maps of regions. Naming convention is: Region-'''{region name}'''.
+
*[[:Category:Military Logos]] - All images about military units of the New World.
+
*[[:Category:Newspaper Logos]] - Newspaper Logos.
+
*[[:Category:Organization Avatars]] - Organization logos
+
*[[:Category:Party Logos]] - Party Logos
+
*[[:Category:Screenshots]] - Screenshots
+
*[[:Category:User Avatars]] - Citizen avatars.
+
*[[:Category:Version1 Images]] - all obsolete ingame images used in [[V1]].
+
*[[:Category:Rising Images]] - all obsolete ingame images used in [[Rising]] version of the game.
+
*[[:Category:War Photos]] - War images, try to use dates of the pictures taken.
+
*[[:Category:Localized Images]] - images in non-English language.
+
At this moment, DO NOT create new categories or subcategories, use one of the mentioned above.
+
*If you think that additional category should be used, please discuss it in the [[eRepublik:Bar|Bar]]
+
  
==Questions==
+
===Fast 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]].
+
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===
 +
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''. --[[User:Andycro|'''<span style="color:#200">AndyCro</span>''']] {{FlagBall|Croatia}} <small>[[User_talk:Andycro|Do you need assistance?

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

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