Line 1: {{Policy\|guideline}} ~~{{Col-begin}}{{Col-break}}{{Policy\|proposed}}{{Nutshell\|~~ {{Nutshell\|{{clrl}} To use an image or other media file on The Sims Wiki, you need to upload it, and then edit a page to use the file. Image usage and layout should improve an article.

To upload image files, visit [[Special:Upload]].~~{{Policy-nav}}~~ ==Image and File Policy== The Sims Wiki has adopted a dedicated [[Project:Image and file policy\|wiki policy]] to establish basic standards for image use on The Sims Wiki. All images uploaded to The Sims Wiki are expected to conform to that policy. Many of the concepts explained here are also outlined there, but be sure to read the policy as well, so you are aware of the specific rules and expectations around uploading and using images on the wiki. == Adding images to pages == Line 27 ⟶ 31: <gallery> Image:~~Wiki~~TSW-logo-legacy.png Image:~~Wiki~~TSW-logo-legacy.png\|Captioned Image:~~Wiki~~TSW-logo-legacy.png\|[[Main Page\|Links]] can be put in captions. Image:~~Wiki~~TSW-logo-legacy.png\|Full [[Main Page\|MediaWiki]]<br />[[Main Page\|syntax]] may now be used… </gallery> Line 76 ⟶ 80: ''For the majority of images, the maximum size should be 500 kB. If yours is larger, it should be compressed or cropped (unless it really benefits from being large and high quality).'' JPG: Compression levels of 80-85% normally do the job. In no case should you ever have to go above 90%; the minimal increase in image quality does not outweigh the increased file size. * PNG: Reducing the number of unique colors in the picture will make PNG files much smaller. ~~The Sims Wiki has [[User:Bawt\|a bot]] that can efficiently optimise PNG images by at least 10%. You can request for a PNG image to be optimised [[User:Bawt/Requests\|on this page]].~~ === Resolution === Line 111 ⟶ 115: Technical information for pictures: * If a film camera was used, provide the model number, ~~lense~~lens information and exposure settings * What post-production modifications where made?
