Template:File

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template is designed to display metadata about files uploaded to the wiki and categorize the files based on the parameters entered.

Usage

When uploading a file to PathfinderWiki, include the following text in the "Summary" section of Special:Upload:

{{File
| year = 
| copy =
| artistd =
| artist = 
| artist1 = 
| artist2 =
| print =
| page = 
| web =
| summary =
| cover = 
| keyword1 = 
| keyword2 = 
| keyword3 = 
| keyword4 = 
| keyword5 = 
| keyword6 = 
}}

Parameters

The parameters below are optional, but the template functions best the more information is provided.

year

This is the year the image was or will be first published. If this parameter is not defined, the template will auto-populate the field with the current year and the file will be placed in Category:Image files lacking copyright years for maintenance purposes.

copy

This is the copyright holder of the file being uploaded. The template automatically wikilinks the value in this parameter, so only the name is needed to fill the template. If this parameter is not defined, the template defaults to Paizo Publishing, LLC.

artist

This is the name of the artist who created the file. This is different than copyright holder (above), as many artists work for hire and thus do not retain copyright of their work. If this parameter is not defined, the template defaults to Unknown. This parameter assigns the file to a category, such as Category:Artwork by Wayne Reynolds or, in the cases where this parameter is not defined, Category:Artwork by unknown artists. See below for the artists parameter, which allows an image to be credited to more than one artist.

artistd

This is a wikicoded list of artists or studios who should be credited with a given image. This parameter will display in place of the basic artist parameter, but you must include one of the (unlinkified) names of one of the artists in the artist parameter or none will display.

artistⁿ

If an image is credited to multiple artists using the artists parameter, include any number of parameters here listing one name per parameter after the artist parameter. This will ensure that all credited artists are autosorted into the appropriate category.

print

This is the title of the book in which the image first appears. The template will automatically generate the citation template for the value entered, so use the same title here as you would use when citing the book in an article (ie. for an image from A History of Ashes, enter simply A History of Ashes. This will cite {{Cite book/A History of Ashes}}.) If this parameter is not defined, the file will be categorized in Category:Artwork from unknown works.

page

This is the page (or chapter number in eBooks) where the image can be found in the source cited in the print parameter. If this parameter is undefined, the citation template generated by the template may not function correctly, especially in cases of Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes.

web

This is the location on the Internet where the file originated. This is used by the community to verify that the wiki has the legal right to reproduce the file, such as by justifying an image's inclusion as part of the Community Use Policy. Use {{Cite web}} in this parameter.

summary

This is a sentence or two describing the file, both to provide context and to serve as a description for users relying on assistive devices to navigate the wiki.

cover

If the file is a product cover or a "clean" piece of artwork from a cover (meaning without any product branding, titles, or credits; just the artwork), enter any value in this parameter to categorize the file in Category:Cover art

keywordⁿ

Use these parameters to define any keyword- or subject-based categories you wish to include the file in. (ie. a value of "elves" in this parameter would result in the file's inclusion in Category:Images of elves; a value of "Amiri" would result in Category:Images of Amiri; etc.). You may have as few as zero and as many as six keywords defined by this template.
