The image tagging policy deals with the proper identification, categorization and tagging of photos used in the wiki. For the policy on proper image use on this wiki, click here.
Rationale
In order to properly identify images, as well as to offer the proper credit, the images need to be tagged. This page covers how to tag a photo.
Tags
Fair use
Since Battlestar Wiki doesn't actually own the rights to Battlestar Galactica, these images are used under the fair use clause of United States copyright law. Thus all these tags reflect this.
- {{promo}} -- Used for promotional photos released by Universal/Sci-Fi. Images are placed under Category:Promotional images.
- {{screencap}} -- Used to identify a generic screen cap. All images in this category are placed under Category:Screen captures.
- {{HD-screencap}} -- Used to identify a screen cap from a high-definition source, such as an HDTV broadcast or DVD source. All images are placed under Category:HD screen captures.
- {{iTunes-screencap}} -- Used to identify a screen cap from the iTunes downloadable versions. All images are placed under Category:iTunes screen captures.
- {{TV-screencap}} -- Used to identify captures from television broadcasts that are not high-definition. All images are placed under Category:TV screen captures.
- {{cover art}} -- Used for cover art for any printed media. Images tagged with this are placed under Category:Cover art images
Creative Commons & Public Domain
Any images licensed under a copyleft license, namely Creative Commons, or released into the public domain should use these tags.
- {{CC}} -- An image released under a Creative Commons license. You must specify which license by adding |license= after "CC", then typing in the license name (ex: {{CC|license=Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike}}). Images tagged with this are placed under the Category:Creative Commons images.
- {{PD}} -- An image released into the public domain. Images tagged with this are placed under the Category:Public Domain images.
Other uses
- {{user image}} - Used exclusively for photos used in the User namespace, namely on user's pages. These images may be licensed under any license, as so long as the copyright owner is identified. Images are placed under Category:User images.
