This page is a brief overview of the policies towards images on Telarapedia. The same rules loosely apply to videos.

General guidelines[]

  • Never use scanned images from magazine articles about Rift: Planes of Telara or any image that another web page has been granted exclusive access to.Unless you have express permission to do so.
  • Use a clear, detailed title. Note that if any image with the same title has already been uploaded, it will be replaced with your new one.
See Telarapedia:Formatting/Images for image formatting guidelines.
See Telarapedia:Formatting/Videos for video formatting guidelines.

Official images[]

  • All official renders and images from the official Rift: Planes of Telara website belong to Trion Worlds. They should also be assigned to the [[Category:Official Screenshots]] or [[Category:Concept Art]] category depending on image type (this can be selected during file upload).

User page images[]

  • Must be prefixed by "User_" and your username (i.e. File:User_Yourname description of image.jpg)
See Telarapedia:User pages for rules governing images to be used solely on user pages.

Guild images[]

  • Must be prefixed by "Guild_" and your guild name (i.e. File:Guild_the Full Name of the Guild description of image.jpg)
See Telarapedia:Guild pages for rules governing images to be used solely on guild pages.

Image titles and file names[]

  • If you make an improved version of an image or you create a new image to replace a current one (i.e. one that is more appropriate) then you may upload the new image with the same filename as the current one. This allows people to easily compare the two images and avoids the need to delete images or change articles. This is not possible if you alter the filetype, i.e. you cannot easily overwrite a JPEG with a PNG image.
  • File names are case sensitive; "gloamwood.jpg" is considered different from "Gloamwood.JPG". For uniformity, lower case file name extensions are recommended.
  • Using underscores in image names is not necessary as MediaWiki automatically replaces spaces in file names with underscores, so [[File:Port Scion.jpg]] is the same as [[File:Port_Scion.jpg]].

Deleting images[]

As only administrators can delete images, you have to request image deletion. To do this, add a deletion notice to the image description page; this is done by putting {{Delete}} at the top of the image description. After a short period of time, an administrator will then delete the image.

If you disagree with an image being made a candidate for deletion post your reason on the talk page for the image.

See Telarapedia:Deletion policy for more details about our deletion.

Moving images[]

  • Use the Move tab at the top of an image page to rename it. Mark the redirect for deletion.

Content[]

Images should only be those directly relating to Heroes of Telara. Minor use of images not directly related to Rift: Planes of Telara is acceptable on user pages. See Telarapedia:User pages for the rules governing images on user pages.

Images that violate the terms of use of this website, violate the Rift: Planes of Telara EULA, Rift: Planes of Telara beta NDA, or infringe copyright will be subject to deletion. Violators will only be allowed a single offense - any subsequent breaches of either the EULA or NDA will result in a ban.

Any uploading of pornographic material will result in long term or permanent bans. Uploading of other material not related to Rift: Planes of Telara and attempting to pass this off as Rift: Planes of Telara images may result in short term bans.

Revision history of articles containing images[]

Old versions of articles do not show corresponding old versions of images, but the latest ones, unless the file names of the images have changed.
