Revision as of 02:37, 21 January 2013
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.
Basic naming
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.
For the majority of artwork, name files as Subject name - Game/Movie/Set/Issue name.ext, e.g. Xerneas - Pokemon X and Y.jpg or Pikachu - Pokemon Battle Revolution.png. If no game is available, use the artist.
Accents
DO NOT use accents (e.g. é, è, etc.) in page titles. This messes the backend up when trying to move files.
Files in another language
For images with language texts, put the two-letter language code at the end of the name, e.g. Logo JP - Pokemon Y.jpg or Logo EN - Pokemon Y.png for the Japanese and English logos of Pokémon Y, respectively. The language codes to be used are ISO 639-1 codes, listed here.
Box and package images
For box and package images, put the two-letter region code at the end of the name, e.g. Box UK - Paper Mario Sticker Star.jpg or Box NA - Paper Mario Sticker Star.png for the box images of Paper Mario Sticker Star in the United Kingdom and in North America, respectively.
Alternate artwork
If there are two versions of a piece of artwork, add "(alt)" to the end of the name, e.g. 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.jpg.
Forms/Formes
As evidenced by the spelling in the title, the naming of forms or formes have been debated, 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/forme name in parentheses directly after the Pokémon name, e.g. Tornadus (Therian) - Black 2 and White 2.png.
TCG cards
TCG cards are to be named in the SetCode CardNo. LanguageCode, e.g. HGSS4 FR 2.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.
