User blog:BlueChoco/New Picture Upload Requirements

I'm mostly finding at times pages have pictures, which often get changed for no reason at all. Reason is people keep using the default "Combat-Arms_##.jpg" files, meaning say something was about an Easter Egg found? Suddenly someone got a picture of some weapon, the picture on the Easter Egg page will be replaced. So I'd like to see people properly tag the image before uploading. IE: Combat-Arms_30 (L85A1 Reload).jpg or something. If you feel direly concerned, take off the Combat-Arms_30 and name it what you're showing. Also if you are doing say.. a personal blog or such, put your name like this: MK.14 MOD 0 (ILYx3).jpg in your image. So at least it's kept to you, as with using default names we see pages constantly switching images.

It's to ease the burden of pages switching, while also allowing people to add their own content. Just don't go overboard adding on all pages, images from yourself because it'll end up deleted in the end. This isn't meant as a mad dash of showing the new gun, map, etc to people who browse the Wiki. Only things I usually leave the same, tend to be images from the CA site. Since they usually keep a standard size per weapon, making it less of a hassle to resize for keeping standard content sizes. Also it's not like someone can do those image details exactly, but that's mostly a minor point right now.

You don't have to be this exact, but giving a rough outline of some standards. So we don't have issues going forward, with new pages getting content and old ones get changed in the process.
