Here at PidgiWiki, we want all files uploaded to be easily accessible to anyone who wants to access them. This accessibility means that we must categorize and name all files with the same patterns. This page will aid in naming any files uploaded.
General rules
There are a number of rules that must be put in place for general usage.
Basics
As you have (hopefully) guessed by reading this page, PidgiWiki is currently targeted to English-speaking audiences. While no other languages have been announced, the MediaWiki software has a built-in language switcher accessible via the preferences page. However, the default language is currently English, meaning that files must be named in English.
Basic Naming
For the majority of artwork, name files as Character - Game/Movie/Set/Issue name.ext
, i.e. Xerneas - Pokémon X and Y.jpg.jpg
or Pikachu - Pokémon Battle Revolution.png
. If no game is available, use the artist.
?
language
For images with language texts, put the two-letter language code at the end of the name, i.e. Logo JP - Pokemon Y.jpg
or Logo EN - Pokemon Y.png
for the Japanese or English logo of Pokémon Y. The language codes to be used are ISO 639-1 codes, listed here.
Box
For boxes put the two-letter region code at the end of the name, i.e. Box UK - Paper Mario Sticker Star.jpg
or Box NA - Paper Mario Sticker Star.png
for the United Kingdome or North American box of Paper Mario Sticker Star.
?
Alternate or beta artwork
If there are two versions of a piece of artwork, add "(alt)" to the end of the name, i.e. Monty Mole (alt) - New Super Mario Bros U.png
. If there are multiple alternate versions, add "(alt #)" to the end. Instead of using "(alt 1)", however, just use "(alt)". Use a similar naming for artwork with specific alternate versions, such as Ditto (beta) - Pokémon Red and Green
.
Form/Forme artwork
As evidenced by the spelling in the title, the naming of Forms or Formes have been debated throughout the fandom, with criteria for each name still under scrutiny. To avoid any of this fighting here, PidgiWiki will avoid using Form of Forme at all, so put the form name in parentheses directly after the Pokémon name, i.e. Tornadus (Therian) - Black 2 and White 2.png
.
TCG cards
TCG cards are to be named in the SetCode CardNo. LanguageCode
, i.e. HGSS4 26 FR.jpg
. Set codes are formatted per TPCi guidelines, with the series code (EX, DP, PL, HGSS, COL, BW) followed by the set number. Currently, no guidelines are set for cards released prior to EX Ruby & Sapphire; we'll get over that bridge when we reach it.
