:I like the idea. The episode abbreviation matches with our shortcuts with policy pages (like BW:SAC). Makes it quick to know what pictures go with an episode at a glance, too. Central characters could have an abbrevation, too, instead of full name for brevity. For instance, WADAMA, LADAMA, ROSLIN. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 17: | :I like the idea.

Revision as of 22:45, 22 October 2006
Thoughts
I agree that there should be some sort of convention. However, a few questions arise:
- How do we go about changing the names of the ones already on the server? Since images can't be renamed like articles, a "rename" would include deleting and reuploading the image -- thus losing all history information (i.e. who uploaded it, changed it, etc.)
- Do we even bother changing the names of images and content already uploaded?
As for conventions, here are some that come to mind:
- Episode Name - Description.jpg
- Episode Abbreviation - Description.jpg
- i.e. Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I would have the abbreviation of KLGI.
In the case of images of one shot characters (for example), we could use the following naming convention:
- Character Name - ##.jpg
The # denotes a two digit number; we should need no more than that.
Or, if we only have one image, then a simpler convention could be used:
- Character Name.jpg
