Etrian Odyssey Wiki:File policies

When uploading an image or file to Etrian Odyssey Wiki, there are certain standards for naming and categorizing them that you are expected to follow, in order to keep everything organized consistently and make it easier for editors to find and use the image. This page sets out and explains those standards, and includes some examples to help you on your way.

If you have any questions or need clarification on anything, feel free to contact an administrator.

Game abbreviation codes
These abbreviation codes are used in almost all file names to identify the game the image comes from, so try to remember them. They are mostly what you'd expect them to be.

Artwork
Official artwork, including art of characters, locations, and so on, should be named in the format File: .png


 * abbr: Game abbreviation code, in upper-case (e.g. "EO1").
 * description: Short description of the image; e.g. a character's name.
 * number: Optional, but include if there are multiple pieces of artwork of the same entity from the same game.

Screenshots
All screenshots should be named in the format File:Screen .png


 * abbr: Game abbreviation code, in lower-case (e.g. "eo2").
 * description: Short description of the image, in lower-case; e.g. a character's name.

Location images
Location images (rips from game files, not original artwork) should be named in the format File:Loc .png


 * abbr: Game abbreviation code, in lower-case (e.g. "eo2").
 * location: Name of the location, in lower-case.

Portraits
All portraits should be named in the format

File:Portrait .png


 * abbr: Game abbreviation code, in lower-case (e.g. "eo2").
 * character: Name of the character or class, in lower-case.
 * number: Use two digits; i.e. 01, 02, 03, 04, etc. Number them in the order in which they appear in-game.

For example, the Imperial's sixth portrait from Etrian Odyssey IV (seen right) is named File:Portrait eo4 imperial 06.png

Enemy sprites
All enemy sprites should be named in the format

File:Es .png


 * abbr: Game abbreviation code, in lower-case (e.g. "eo2").
 * enemy: Name of the enemy, in lower-case.

Enemy sprites are only used in EO1-3.

Map icons
All map icons should be named in the format

File:Mi .png


 * abbr: Game abbreviation code, in lower-case (e.g. "eo2").
 * description: Short description of the icon, in lower-case.

Item sprites
All item sprites should be named in the format

File:Is .png


 * abbr: Game abbreviation code, in lower-case (e.g. "eo2").
 * description: Short description of the icon, in lower-case.

Categories
You must always place an image in an appropriate category when uploading. If an image is used in multiple games (e.g. character portraits from Etrian Odyssey Untold are reused in Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold), place it in categories for all relevant games.

To help make this easier, here are a list of image categories used on the wiki:

Artwork:

Screenshots:

Location images:

Portraits:

Enemy sprites:

Map icons:

Item sprites:

If you aren't sure which category should go on an image, then just place it in the game's general image category, and an administrator will move it to the correct category for you:
