Uploading Guide and Standards

This article will help explain how to go about uploading images, video and audio to the Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen wiki. Having media representations in your article greatly improve the user experience, so every user is encouraged to familiarize themselves with the uploading forum and process. Proper understanding of the upload form ensures that all these files are properly identified and categorized. Make sure to pay attention to the Licensing filed so that the media is properly attributed to their creator and distributor.

Uploading Form
You can upload a file to the wiki by clicking Upload File under the tools menu along the left side of any page. You can also upload an image by clicking through a link that leads to an image that isn't currently uploaded on the wiki.

Uploading Standards
Image Standards We understand that not all images can be perfectly captured and any contribution is appreciated, but when you're uploading an image to the wiki, try your best to follow these standards:

- Equipment Images These images show what an equipped item looks like while worn.

Naming Conventions:
 * Make sure the name starts with APP. Note that it is and should be all uppercase. (Short for Appearance)
 * If the item is a piece of ARMOR, make sure to end the title with what direction the image was taken from. (E.G: Front, Back, Side). Weapons and shields are typically only captured from the side view, and don't need this suffix UNLESS the weapon/shield has a notable difference in appearance from both sides.
 * Fill out the item's name, mimicking the spacing of the item's name. Do not capitalize any part of the name beside the prefix and suffix.
 * Special Characters. If the item's title contains a -, replace it with a space (e.g: Keep-Issused = keep issued) . If the item's title contains a  ' , simply remove it and leave no space (e.g: Fang of Awet'lo = fang of awetlo).

For example, let's say the item is called Keep-Issued Leather Tunic and you took the picture from the front. The Equipment Image for this item should be uploaded with the title: APP keep issued leather tunic FRONT

Now, let's look at quality standards. Follow these guidelines as close as you can to upload the best possible image you can to the wiki!
 * Set your graphics to the highest level as possible.
 * Set your resolution to the highest level possible.
 * Un-equip any other pieces of equipment to avoid unnecessary clutter.
 * Make sure you have proper lighting, and the equipment isn't obscured by shadows.
 * Zoom in as close as you can to the item. The center of focus should be the image on display; there's no need for a full body shot if the image is for a pair of boots.
 * Take front, back and side shots. Note: This isn't typically necessary for weapons and shields. Use your discretion and decide if an image needs multiple views.
 * If the equipment is a weapon or shield: take the image from a side view, this ensures the weapon's full appearance is visible.

- Spell/Ability Icons


 * Notes:
 * [[file:bullet.png]] Abilities & spells will often share the same spell icon across upgrades. Do NOT upload duplicates of the spell icon.
 * [[File:Bullet.png]] If an ability or spell shares an icon with another class ability, do NOT upload a duplicate. Instead, reuse the icon uploaded for the other class.

Naming Conventions:
 * The first part of the title should always be the abbreviation of the class to whom the ability belongs and in full caps. The class abbreviations are: CLE, DL, DRU, ENC, MNK, PAL, RNG, ROG, SHA, SUM, WAR, WIZ (Cleric, Dire Lord, Druid, Enchanter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Shaman, Summoner, Warrior, and Wizard respectively)
 * The title should be in all lowercase, save for the prefix class abbreviation.

For example, lets say you're uploading the spell icon for the Cleric spell "Reithal's Luminous Shield". The title for this file should be CLE reithal's luminous shield
