Images

To start, you must log in to your account, and then click the Edit button on the page you would like to add a photo to.

Self-Scanned Images

Images must be scanned at 400dpi with moiré reduction on (with a minimum 300dpi on older scanners).

Images from other sites

If you want to add images for other sites, there are a few things to take into account:

1. Images with logos of other sites must be replaced as soon as possible with a "non-logo" version available. (These images must be marked with the category: "Images Needing Replacement"), also they must have an yellow information box.
2. Always list the link of the site, where you found that picture, into the editor. Especially if the site is still available.
3. Non-game-related keywords of that card, should be added to the categories on the file page. For example, if a card has a picture of a lion on it, then it there be added lions to the image category. It doesn't matter if there is one or more lions on it.
4. Never ever ever use images with a copyright from Getty Images, WireImage or Pokémon Paradijs. Those sites give very big fines for using their images.

File naming

Look at this example: Jackbauerloyaltothepresident_D0.

The card title and subtitle is written together with no special characters (only latin letters and numbers), followed by a underscore ( _ ) and then the abbreviation of the set if there are more cards with the same title (and/or subtitle). The German ß must be written as "ss". Other special characters are reverted to their original English-alphabet letter. Roman numerals must be written as "normal" numbers. If the title consists of non-latin alphabet letters, then the English title should be used with the addition of an underscore and the language abbreviation (for example: _JP for Japanese titles.)

If a card title is found multiple times in a set, add (for example) _v1 or _cardnumber.

If a set is (partially) foiled or otherwise different from the "normal" set, than add _Foil. (or another printform, like _Prism, _Signed, etc.).

If the cards of the game has no titles, in example for board game cards, or some cards have no title at all, than the image title would be like this: risk_2000_NL_001.

NL is the language abbrevation. It should only be used if the game or the card is printed with the same title in multiple languages.

Playing cards images would have this format: Cartamundi_[deckname]_joker1. If its a standard deck replace deck with another number like st0001. If the name of the publisher is unknown, use then the name of the country.

Image Keywords

Image keywords can be added by using Categories. Put in a few simple words in the "Add category..." space on the right. The following rules always apply:

1. Keywords must never ever be offensive to other people.
2. Keywords must be in plural form, except for game-related keywords, and elements like air, fire, void etc.
3. Keywords that are game-related are moved to the appropriate card page. Also they must have the game title between brackets after the keyword.
4. Keywords that have nothing to do with the image are rejected and removed.
5. Characters from comics, television series and films must have the words (character), with the brackets, after their name.
6. People's names are also keywords.
