Images, categories, and licenses

Hi there,

Please see this page on how to properly categorise images and see this page on how to license images.

Please remember to include categories too, these are necessary to keep the Wiki organised. If you struggle to find any, try finding similar images and see what they have added. For map images, they should always have the category Category:Map images, replacing "Map" with the map name (e.g. Category:Galleria images).

I can't seem to find any place on the upload page for these. Is it meant to be added to the summary field? I was under the impression that was meant for a verbal description.

Also, I am a workshop contributor of a number of official items and one map. It's not clear to me how exactly I am meant to license or cite anything that I am the direct author of, such as concept art or trivia. For the former, would this be "fair use"? And for the latter, am I required to "create" a source by posting about it matter-of-factly in a public place in order to add it to the wiki?

MC Labs15 (talk) 00:11, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, the upload page's "summary" is meant for this.

The licenses and their various uses are explained here. For concept art it would be {{ArtworkTF2}}, for textures and such it would be {{ExtractTF2}}. Anything that's in TF2 should have a Valve-related license, not the Fair Use one. See this section of the Trivia style guide for how to confirm you are the creator of something.
