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, [[Battlestar Wiki:Image use policy|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 [[Wikipedia:fair use|fair use]] clause of United States copyright law.  Thus all these tags reflect this.
 
* {{tl|promo}} -- Used for promotional photos released by Universal/Sci-Fi. Images are placed under [[:Category:Promotional images]].
* {{tl|screencap}} -- Used to identify a generic screen cap. All images in this category are placed under [[:Category:Screen captures]].
** {{tl|HD-screencap}} -- Used to identify a screen cap from a high-definition source, such as an HDTV broadcast. All images are placed under [[:Category:HD screen captures]].
* {{tl|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.
 
* {{tl|CC}} -- An image released under a Creative Commons.  You must specify which license by adding the pipe symbol after "CC", then typing in the license name (ex: <nowiki>{{CC|Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike}}</nowiki>). Images tagged with this are placed under the [[:Category:Creative Commons images]].
* {{tl|PD}} -- An image released into the public domain. Images tagged with this are placed under the [[:Category:Public Domain images]].
 
=== Other uses ===
 
* {{tl|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]].
