Template:File/doc

This template should be used for all files in the "Files:" namespace. It presents some information about the file, and automatically both categorizes and licenses the image.

Guide
Before uploading, complete the template. A guide outlining a detailed explanation on how to utilize its parameters is found below. All images include this completed template before uploading.
 * : This parameter is for writing a summary of what the file contains. A file description should be short and concise, requiring no more than one sentence to explain. For example, a piece of artwork of a cyberdog from Fallout 2 could simply be described as "Artwork of a Cyberdog from Fallout 2." If there are other versions of the file, or extra information to help describe the file, it should go here.


 * : Put the name of the game here. It will automatically be linked to. For any files applying to multiple games, put only the first appearance for the file's contents here—extra categories will need to be manually added.


 * : This parameter covers a lot of things at once. Primarily, this parameter is to indicate what type of file it is. The list of types available are:




 * For example, if the image you are uploading depicts a weapon from Fallout 3, you would enter |game=Fallout 3 and |typegame=weapon.


 * : This parameters functions much like |typegame=:, but is mostly reserved for non-game and wiki media. The list of types available are:




 * : This is a very important parameter. If you have a file that wasn't directly taken by yourself, the direct source (I.E. website) needs to be linked here. If you captured the file yourself, use |source=self. For images captured by other people, use |source=user and fill the next parameter below.


 * : This parameter allows you to input the artist responsible for the image. Only use this if the artist behind it is known.


 * : This parameter allows you to input the original filename for the image. If the image you are uploading has been renamed for the wiki, please put the original filename, along with the original filetype here. Example:

'''The following parameters are unlikely to be used. Only add them to the template if they are necessary.'''


 * : This parameter is unlikely to be used. It should only be filled with the name of the user for people that use |source=user or |typeself=user. For example, if C0NN1E was the source of an image, you would enter |source=user and user=C0NN1E.


 * : This parameter is unlikely to be used. It is automatically filled in as fair use if the |typegame= or |typeself= parameter is filled out, and can usually be deleted. The only reason this parameter should be filled out is if a file should be licensed in any way other than fair use, such as public domain, creative commons, or something else. The list of licenses available are:



Example
If a parameter is not used, it should be removed.
