I'd normally suggest making a template like [[Template:Infobox]], but this is quite a simple table so we may as well leave it at that. Probably best that you mention it on [[Talk:Special Vehicles]] to make sure everyone knows and that everyone does it the same. Nice work.

== Re: Image naming conventions == | |||
Hey. You are right that the convention is game-subject-data. Other than that, there is some confusion, disagreement, indecision and as a result some inconsistency throughout the site. | |||
The [[Grand Theft Wiki:Games|game name format]] should be the 'condensed' format (eg GTA1, GTAIII, GTAV) just to be consistent with the rest of the site. However, ZS disagrees and believes it should be the old GTA4 format, although this is not used anywhere else on the site and doesn't match the other naming conventions (Grand Theft Auto V, GTA V etc). That said, using the condensed format is now officially policy so feel free to rename any that use the old GTA4 format. | |||
The data field is an optional extra field to add when we have more than one image that would fit under that name. For example, if we have two images of a GTA IV Infernus, add -front and -back. If we have a different type of Infernus, such as a special bulletproof one, add -bulletproof instead. If we have a pre-release screenshot (that might be different from the final game) add -prerelease instead. Other examples of this data could be screenshots of a city, they would be GTAV-Dockyard-North and GTAV-Dockyard- | |||
If there is only one image that would fit under that name, then I don't see any reason to add a data item at all. For example a GTA V map or a GTA 1 vehicle - the name and subject would be enough. | |||
Technically, image names should be in Title Case like the rest of the wiki (eg GTAV-Infernus-Front), however I know A-Dust disagrees and uses the data field in lowercase (although I can see why). So there is a lot of discrepancy here too. This specific thing hasn't been decided on yet, so I wouldn't go round moving them until we've had that discussion and reached a consensus or had an executive decision. | |||
So in short, I would use these example formats: | |||
*GTAV-Map.jpg (If there is only one image of the thing, like a GTA 1 vehicle, then just use this) | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Front.jpg | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Rear.jpg | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Night.jpg (Might have a separate screenshot taken at night?) | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Pink.jpg (This might be a rare/specific variation we'd have a separate screenshot of) | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Rear-Night.jpg (can add extra bits of data where there is more than one image, but keep it as simple as possible) | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Side.jpg | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Prerelease.jpg | |||
*GTAV-Infernus-Prerelease-Front.jpg (Only use if there is more than one pre-release image of the subject) | |||
Hope that makes sense. I should really put this into an updated image policy. Let me know if you have any questions, and let me know your views on the namings. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 02:54, 25 August 2012 (UTC) | |||
