Welcome to Wookieepedia's file upload page! To upload files, you must have: (1) an account that is at least four days old and (2) at least fifty edits on Wookieepedia. If you don't meet those requirements, our system will prevent you from uploading files until you do.
Please make sure that your upload complies with Wookieepedia's files policy. If your file upload does not include the correct description, source, and license, the file will be deleted. If the image is for a userpage of your own, make sure that it also follows our user image policy. Note that, per the Image policy, if if you upload an animation or video file, a corresponding Consensus track vote must be started within 24 hours of the upload in order for the file to be kept.
Wookieepedia recommends enabling JavaScript and using the guided upload tool. Otherwise, add the following code to the "Summary" box and fill it out as completely and accurately as possible:
{{Information
|attention=
|description=
|source=
|artist=
|filespecs=
|licensing=
|other versions=
|cat artist=
|cat licensee=
|cat subject=
|cat type=
}}
The following are instructions for how to completely and accurately fill out the correct information in the "File description" section of this page:
- The "attention" field is for maintenance templates and will generally not be used on a new upload.
- The "description" field is required. Please provide an accurate description of the file's contents.
- The "source" field is required. Please list the specific source that the item comes from. Page numbers are optional but encouraged (when applicable). If the source is a website, the specific URL is mandatory. Google is not a valid source.
- "Artist" is an optional field for an illustration's artist(s).
- "Filespecs" should be used to list specific information about any editing or processing the file has undergone, such as cropping. This is critical for any image which has been modified from the original source. Basic information like file size or dimensions are unnecessary as the system will display these automatically.
- "Licensing" is a required field for templates that indicate the image's copyright status/license. "Fair use" is generally applicable to copyrighted images. A list of licenses can be found in the "Licensing" drop-down menu.
- "Other versions" can be used to indicate when alternate versions or formats of a file are available.
- The "cat" fields are for image categories—images by artist, licensee, subject, and type.
