| |
| | | | |
| − | The creators of Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia are currently working on a way of creating card image galleries for all sets. So, we'd appreciate it if people uploading images would standardize the file names as follows:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * ''CardNameSET-LN.jpg''
| |
| − | * ''CardNameSET-LN.png''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | where...
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''CardName''' is the official UDE English name of the card (if it exists in the English TCG) OR, the commonly-accepted English translation of the card's name (if it does NOT exist in the English TCG). If you're dealing with Japanese OCG-only cards, a good source of accepted English name translations are the numerous Yu-Gi-Oh! video games. If at all possible, try to get the name from the NEWEST of these (i.e., try WC6 first, then NTR, then WC5, and so on).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''SET''' is the two- or three-character abbreviation used for the set's name (e.g., MFC for Magician's Force, 301 for "The New Ruler", etc.). Some early cards have no set abbreviation. In this case, certain "in house" abbreviations have been decided upon. These currently include:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Booster 1 = B01
| |
| − | * Booster 2 = B02
| |
| − | * Booster 3 = B03
| |
| − | * Booster 4 = B04
| |
| − | * Booster 5 = B05
| |
| − | * Booster 6 = B06
| |
| − | * Booster 7 = B07
| |
| − | * Volume 1 = V1
| |
| − | * Volume 2 = V2
| |
| − | * Volume 3 = V3
| |
| − | * Volume 4 = V4
| |
| − | * Volume 5 = V5
| |
| − | * Volume 6 = V6
| |
| − | * Volume 7 = V7
| |
| − | * Starter Box = SB
| |
| − | * EX Starter Box = E
| |
| − | * Premium Pack 1 = P1
| |
| − | * Premium Pack 2 = P2
| |
| − | * Dark Ceremony = DC
| |
| − | * Limited Edition 1 = L1
| |
| − | * Limited Edition 2 = L2WJ ''(LE2 has printed set abbr. WJ since it was distributed by W-Jump; L2WJ distinguishes them from later W-Jump promos)''
| |
| − | * Valuable Book 1 = VB1
| |
| − | * Duel Monsters 1 = G1
| |
| − | * Duel Monsters 2 = G2
| |
| − | * New Duel Monsters 1 = S1
| |
| − | * Duel Monsters 1 (Tournament) = DM1
| |
| − | * Duel Monsters 2 (Tournament) = DM2
| |
| − | * World Standard Championship 1 = WS1
| |
| − | * World Standard Championship 2 = WS2
| |
| − | * Asian Championship 1999 = T1
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''LN''' is a two-letter abbreviation indicating language. Designations currently in use are:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * EN = English
| |
| − | * JP = Japanese
| |
| − | * FR = French
| |
| − | * C = French-Canadian (LOB, SDY and SDK ''only'')
| |
| − | * DE = German
| |
| − | * IT = Italian
| |
| − | * KR = Korean
| |
| − | * PT = Portuguese
| |
| − | * SP = Spanish
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For example, if you're uploading a picture of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from the English booster "Legend of Blue Eyes", the file name you should use would be "BlueEyesWhiteDragonLOB-EN.jpg" ''or'' "BlueEyesWhiteDragonLOB-EN.png" (depending on the format your computer supports).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On the other hand, suppose you want to upload a picture of "Überläufer" from the German edition of "Starter Deck: Yugi". Would you call the file "ÜberläuferSDY-DE.jpg"? '''NO!''' Always use official ''English'' names wherever possible, and good English translations where official names don't exist. In this case, the ''correct'' file name would be "ChangeofHeartSDY-DE.jpg" or "ChangeofHeartSDY-DE.png" (once again, depending on the format your computer supports).

| |
| − | ==Card Pictures==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''THIS IS MAJOR.''' As you ''hopefully'' noticed before starting to edit pages on Yugioh Wikia, ''ALL'' submissions must be
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * written by yourself; '''or'''
| |
| − | * copied from a PUBLIC domain or similar FREE resource.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>''THIS '''INCLUDES''' PICTURES!''</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Any card images that have site names overprinted on the picture should '''NOT''' be uploaded.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A good source of pix is [http://www.ideal808.com ideal808.com]. Even there, though, you need to keep a close eye on the stuff you save off, as although most of their pix are clean, ''some'' (although very few) are marked.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another good source is [[http://stop2shop.com Stop2Shop.com]. Once again, though, you need to keep a close eye on the stuff you save off, as ''some'' (although very few) are marked.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another small point: Although the size limit on pix is a recommendation, not a law (not yet, anyway!), it is a very reasonable one. It may be nice to have a card picture that fills the entire screen, but the larger the picture, the more space it takes up in Wiki's mainframe, and the longer it will take to load for those accessing Yugioh Wikia from older systems.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | So, try to keep your pictures around 300 × 450 pixels, with '''no''' overprinted site advertising, and they should be fine.

| − | * If you're new to Wikipedia or to this Wikia, a good idea is to create an account as soon as possible after you start editing. That way if any problems show up, one of the moderators or another editor can leave a message for you. '''TIP:''' Include an IM contact, if you have one.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * If you're not quite sure how something is done, try to find another page that's already has the type of thing you're looking for. If you then go to '''Edit''' that page, you can see the source code, and often figure out how to recreate the style you want.

| |
| − | * If you're in need of assistance, feel free to get in touch with another editor. Just go to the [http://www.wikia.com/wikistats/EN/TablesWikiaYUGIOH.htm Statistics] page, and look for someone who's done a lot of editing. Then, if you click on somebody's name, it will take them to their user page, and you can either leave a message for them in their Discussion site, or get in touch with them via IM or email if they've included that contact. (We may have been editing longer that you have, but we don't bite...not ''too'' hard, at least!)
