Work Area
Media titles
- All media titles must have cover art or a poster. All cover art or posters must be at least 300 pixels wide, preferably portrait.
- Infoboxes are optional. If used, please use the appropriate template.
- If infoboxes are not used, the cover art or poster is to be right justified and set to 300 pixels. ([[Image:<Poster>.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''<Title>'' (<year>)]])
- Level 2 headings should be the default setting for weapons. (for example, == Colt Detective Special == ). Level 1 headings should be used when differentiating different types of weapons, Level 3 for variation of the same weapon.
- "Full-Screen" (4x3 ratio) screencaps should be set at 500 pixels, everything else should be 600 pixels, with justification set to none.
- Actors holding weapons should be identified and hyperlinked (if possible) at least once on a media page. ("James Bond (Roger Moore) uses a ...", "Militant #2 (Darrel Heath) uses a ...")
- Identified weapons should be hyperlinked at least once on the page. ("A Browning M2HB is seen mounted...")
- An image of any identified weapon must be present, unless one is not available. Weapon images must be set to at least 300 pixels, with justification set to none.
- Hyperlinks do not belong in the headings or subheadings.
- Spoilers should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. If absolutely necessary, please use {{Spoiler}} at the top of the page.
Screencaps
- Black bars should be cropped from all screenshots.
- Not-Safe-For-Work images should be altered with the appropriate censor bars or pixelization. (American standards for NSFW apply, so no nudity or excessive gore.)
- Aside from the aforementioned black bars, screencaps should not be cropped. If a part of the image needs to be emphasized, please highlight that particular section with circles, arrows, or numbers.
- Closed captions and subtitles in the screencaps should be avoided if at all possible.
- Screencaps should be left in their native aspect ratios.
- Watermarked images should be avoided, especially if it proves intellectual property theft. (Theft of intellectual property is morally and legally wrong.)
- Only JPEGs are allowed.
- Screencaps should be uniquely named. Overly generic names should be avoided, (for example, Bond_PPK.jpg} as well as overly technical names (for example, vlcsnap-2012-11-21-16h05m37s240.jpg.) Aim for something simple, unique, and yet still descriptive. (for example "Skyfall_HK416_01.jpg" or "H50_S2E11_M4.jpg".)
