Examples for each step are linked within their respective numbered step. Don't hesitate to reach out to a staff member or leave a comment here, if you have any questions or need help! Step-by-step images forthcoming.

This guide is aimed at [Wiki Warriors] seeking to upload images of Fanart to the Wiki.

Consider! Wiki or Booru?
Images on the Wiki are meant to provide succinct and informative appearances of a subject or character, at a glance. The TWI Booru welcomes ALL fanart, and acts as a definitive repository.

Adding a New Artist to the Wiki edit edit source

  1. Retrieve artist permission
  2. Create Fanworks/<artist> page. Example : Fanworks/vivienneblanchy
  3. Link the artist's Booru on their Wiki Fanworks page. Example on Fanworks/vivienneblanchy
  4. Create Category:Fanart-by-<artist>. Example : Category:Fanart-by-vivienneblanchy
  5. Document artist permission on Category:Fanart-by-<artist>. Example : Category:Fanart-by-vivienneblanchy
  6. Add Fanworks/<artist> page to the overall Fanworks page Fanworks. The list here is meant to have artists ordered alphabetically.

Upload an Image to the Wiki edit edit source

There are two ways to upload an image to the wiki. Make sure to give the image a descriptive name so that other editors can find it.

Categorize Uploaded Images Under an Existing Artist on the Wiki edit edit source

Adding a New Image to a Character's Gallery page edit edit source

Images Must be Uploaded Before Added to a Gallery
Before you edit a Gallery, make sure that the image has been uploaded to the wiki, i.e. to the artist's Fanworks page.
  1. Whenever an image for a character is added to an Character's Gallery page, make sure the Artist has a Fanworks/ page on the wiki. Fanworks/vivienneblanchy
  2. Make sure the image has been categorized under the artist. Category:Fanart-by-vivienneblanchy
  3. Finally, add the image to the Character's Gallery Mrsha du Marquin/Gallery
  4. Link the Character's Booru on their Character' Gallery page. Mrsha du Marquin/Gallery
