Wookieepedia:Files


This is the policy for uploading and using files on Wookieepedia. Uploads that fail to meet the criteria listed here may be deleted by an administrator and the uploader may be blocked in accordance with the blocking policy.

Upload form


The only supported upload form is Special:Upload.

None of the non-standard Fandom upload forms are officially supported by Wookieepedia. If you find and use a non-standard upload form that we have not yet disabled, and then fail to add all the required data to the file information page as outlined below, you can expect your upload to be quickly deleted, and you may be blocked.

By default, the Special:Upload page operates in "basic" mode, which will preload the code of the required {{information}} template but does not prevent files from being uploaded with missing information. However, we have provided a more user-friendly form which can be accessed by by clicking "switch to guided upload form" in the top-right corner of the purple box.

The guided upload form will provide you with text fields and drop-down menus to fill in the information required on all uploads, and will prompt you to provide missing source information.

We suggest using the guided form unless you are a highly proficient user with specific need to edit the file information page in its raw format.

Upload eligibility


In order to upload any files to Wookieepedia, users must meet the following criteria:

Users must also meet additional criteria to upload images specifically for personal use, as detailed in our user image policy.

If you meet the criteria listed above and continue to encounter errors when attempting to upload a non-personal file, you may contact an administrator for assistance.

Edited images


Files should be true to their source. However, a small amount of editing is permissible in order to enhance a file's usefulness or illustrative capability. Excessively edited files may be deleted at the discretion of the administration. These file editing policies do not apply to edits related to a transgender person's deadname.

Shared images


Star Wars wikis included on Wookieepedia's {{Interlang}} template may request for Fandom staff to enable the shared images tool, so long as their image licensing templates specify the origin of the corresponding image on the English wiki.
