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.

  1. Go to the Upload File page
  2. While editing a page, the editing bar provides an image insert button.

VisualEditor:
Visualeditor-image-upload.png

SourceEditor:

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

  1. Whenever an image from that artist is uploaded, categorize it Category:Fanart-by-<artist> File:Oom by vivienneblanchy.png.
  2. Also categorize the image to the Fanworks/<artist> page Fanworks/vivienneblanchy.

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
