Caves of Qud Wiki:Style Guide: Difference between revisions

Line 260:

Before submitting fan art to this wiki, please read through the following rules. The [[Caves_of_Qud_Wiki:Community_portal#Community_administrators|wiki administrators]] may remove any content uploaded to the wiki at their discretion, for reasons including but not limited to violation of the rules below.

==== Types of work that are appropriate ====

As long as you obey the rules below, any fan art related to Caves of Qud may be uploaded to the wiki. This includes

* depictions of characters and creatures that exist in the game;

* art of locations or events from the game;

* original characters (OCs) based on the player character;

* objects, furniture, and OCs that exist in the universe of Qud;

and so on. In general, work can be added to any page that is at least tangentially relevant to it. For example:

* If you have a stylized depiction of a snapjaw, then that would certainly be relevant to the [[Snapjaws]] page or a more specific page, such as {{favilink|Snapjaw Scavenger}}.

* An OC that comes from the [[Mopango]] faction could be added to the [[Mopango]] page.

* An OC with the {{favilink|Multiple Arms}} mutation could be added to the page for that mutation.

If you have questions about whether a particular work of art would be appropriate for the wiki and where it could go, please ask in <code>#wiki-discussion</code> in the Caves of Qud wiki.

==== No NSFW content ====

All work submitted to the wiki, '''including original works of art''', are considered to be released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0); see [[Caves of Qud Wiki:Copyrights]]. This gives the wiki and the Caves of Qud community the right to freely download, share, and adapt your work under the same Creative Commons license. '''Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!'''

==== Distinguishability from in-game content ====

Any fan art added to a page should be ''easily distinguishable'' from in-game content, so as not to confuse readers of the page. For example, please don't upload a tile for a [[Mechanimists]] creature you modded in and add it to the Mechanimists page, because readers may not be able to clearly delineate between your work and work from the original game.

Caves of Qud has a very idiosyncratic art style and this rule will not apply to most works uploaded to the wiki. However, if you're concerned that your work may confuse readers, you can choose to add a frame and [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images caption it] in a way that clearly marks the work as coming from outside of the game.

In general, you can choose where you'd like to place the art. By convention, art should ''generally'' be added to the bottom of a page before any navboxes, footers, or appendices. However, if you believe that your art may belong in a different area of the page (e.g. at a certain point in a guide where it may be relevant), you are free to add it there instead.
