These pages can have body content (describing the topic) and list all pages that have this category. References to these pages can be <nowiki>[[::Carthian Movement]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Carthian Movement]]</nowiki> (if there is a [[#Redirection|redirection]]). The alternative is to have a normal page (as that below). |
| + | |||
| + | When there is a conflict between genres (where they have groups or powers of the same name) the genre '''''can''''' be referenced after the name in brackets as this is secondary. The decision on whether to do this is the value in keeping the categories separate, where a group (e.g. clan) may need a separate category whereas a power (e.g. discipline) may not. In this case the main category (without the genre) is to have both options listed, as such requiring another step to access the page should only the main category be referenced. '''This has yet to be confirmed.''' | ||

| + | ===[[Special:ListFiles|Files]]=== | ||
| + | Files should be short but descriptive be named, '''''with spaces''''', where each word starts with a capital letter. Spaces are required to allow searching, but will be replaced with an underscore '_' when it is to be used. The [[Special:ListFiles|File List]] is the best location to search for files. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Common images''' are those for use by all and relate to genres or groups within a genre. The naming convention is to follow a hierarchy of keywords to help with identification. | ||
| + | * Genre - the unique name of the [[#Genres|genre]] for the image if needed. | ||
| + | * Name - the actual identifier for the image. | ||
| + | * Size - inclusion of a size reference, where this should only be included to help differentiate between multiple files. | ||
| + | ** Pixel reference such as '70' (70x70px) and '100' (100x100px). | ||
| + | ** Comparative reference such as 'Small' or 'Large' if there are two versions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Examples:''' | ||
| + | * 'Lost Skull' (Lost_Skull.jpg) - skull logo for Changeling the Lost. | ||
| + | * 'Requiem Carthian Movement' (Requiem_Carthian_Movement.png) - logo for the Carthian Movement. | ||
| + | * 'Requiem Ventrue 70' (Requiem_Ventrue_70.gif) - 70px logo fr the Ventrue if there is also a 100px version. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Unique images''' are those for particular pages, whether they be for characters, groups or venues. These are files that are not likely to be used by others. Naming is up to the user, so long as they are short but descriptive. Character, groups, or venue names should be used, as an example a file name such as 'Character Photo' or 'Chibi' does not lend itself to a particular character. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Please note that this was based on a review of existing files.''' | ||

| − | + | Category pages and normal pages can be redirected to the other. The approach taken is dependant on the usefulness of having information on the category page and the listing of pages within the category. This is easily changed in the future. | |

| + | |||
| + | '''Redirection to page''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The category 'Sydney' is redirected to the [[Sydney]] page, as it is a location for general information for the domain and acts as a portal for other pages through its content. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''Wiki code for the category: <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[pagename]]</nowiki>'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Redirection to category without genre (not cross-genre)''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The page for [[Carthian Movement]] is redirected to the 'Carthian Movement' category as it will contain information on the covenant and list all other pages (characters, lineages and powers) that have 'Carthian Movement' as a category. There is no need for the genre (Requiem) as covenants are not cross-genre. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''Wiki code for the page: <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[:Category:categoryname]]</nowiki>'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Redirection to category with genre (cross-genre)''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The page for [[Nosferatu]] holds links for both [[Nosferatu (Masquerade)]] and [[Nosferatu (Requiem)]], where each are redirected to the 'Nosferatu (Masquerade)' and 'Nosferatu (Requiem)' categories. Each separate category contains information on the clan (with specifics or the Masquerade and Requiem setting) and list all other pages (characters, lineages and powers) that have 'Nosferatu (Genre)' as a category. There is a need for genre (Requiem) as some clans are cross-genre. | ||
