Introduction
The inclusion of media such as image, video, and audio files can at times be helpful in illustrating and identifying subject matter in articles. That said, PoliceWiki is not intended to be a media archive but only use media files as necessary for instructional and reference purposes. This article explains how to upload media and how to properly provide information and categorize media on PoliceWiki.
How to upload images
Image information templates
All image files should have a descriptive information page. This is especially important for images uploaded under Fair Use when you are not the copyright holder of the image. Use the template best suited for the image you are uploading from the following list:
- Template:Album image information: for information pages on album cover art. (Sample usage: Image:Police-album-reggattadeblanc.jpg)
- Template:Book cover information: for information pages on book cover artwork. (Sample usage: Image:Wildthing-iancopeland.gif)
- Template:Logo information: for information pages about logos.
- Template:Magazine cover information: for information pages on magazine covers.
- Template:Newspaper image information: for information pages on newspaper images and scans.
- Template:Film poster information: for information pages on film poster art
- Template:Music video screenshot information: for information pages on music video screenshots.
- Template:Promotional image information: for information pages on promotional images.
- Template:Public domain self-released image: for information pages on images you've created/photographed yourself, and wish to release to public domain usage.
- Template:Video screenshot information: for information pages on video and television screenshots.
- Template:Web screenshot information: for information pages on screenshots of websites.
Other media information templates
- Template:Generic media information: for information pages about images and other media not covered by any other template, including their rights permissions, author, source, and summary.
