'''Rule 8:''' Speaking of credit, if you're uploading someone else's scans, '''please do what you can to get their permission,''' unless they've already uploaded it somewhere public like YouTube. You should always make it known if a scan is not yours, and try to credit the source, if they wish. You can do this in places like the '''"Notes" section''' of the variants panels, or in the '''description''' when you upload the image. | '''Rule 8:''' Speaking of credit, if you're uploading someone else's scans, '''please do what you can to get their permission,''' unless they've already uploaded it somewhere public like YouTube.

'''Rule 9:''' Do not use '''Cyrillic''', or '''extended Latin characters''' (Like š, ć, and ž) in '''filenames''', just stick to pure American English. Special characters are '''harder to search''' for and they can break things easily. MediaWiki (what the site runs on) seems to handle special characters pretty well, so '''this isn't a huge rule''', but please keep it in mind. | |||
'''Rule 10:''' Be '''descriptive''' with your filenames. '''Don't just upload "front.jpeg"''', because it will be much harder to find and reuse. The general file naming scheme we've been using thus far is as follows: "'''[Album]'''-'''[type]'''-'''[orientation]'''-'''[Year, optional]'''-'''[Signature]'''.png". '''[Album]''' is the album name, '''[type]''' is the object (Tape, j-card, CD, cover), [Orientation] (front, back)), [Year] is the year the release is from (don't include it if you aren't sure) and '''[Signature]''' is your initials or username. It's a lot to take in, but let's say I uploaded scans of Idemo Dalje, I'd write '''"IdemoDalje-jcard-front-Generacide.jpeg"'''. Pretty easy. | |||
