Naming conventions for images

If you get stuck or your image doesn't fit any of these guidelines, no worries - just upload with a descriptive title you see fit.

Sprites, renders and artwork
  • For item thumbnails and UI icons use the format: "[name] [game abbreviation] Icon"
Example: Antique Chair NH Icon
  • For inventory UI icons use the format: "[name] [game abbreviation] Inv Icon"
Example: Tops NH Inv Icon
  • For everything else use the format: "[name] [game abbreviation] [descriptor]"
    Appropriate descriptors can include "Artwork", "Model", "Render", etc.
Example: Bob NL Model or Bob NL Model 2
Screenshots
  • For characters use the format: "[game abbreviation] [name] [descriptor]"
Example: CF Kid Cat Pitfall
  • For buildings or gameplay mechanics etc. use the format: "[game abbreviation] [subject]"
Example: NL Town Hall
  • For houses use the format: "House of [villager] [game abbreviation]" and append "Exterior" if image is of house exterior
Example: House of Bob NH or House of Rosie NH Exterior
File Info template

Please fill out the description and source parameters of the File Info template that is placed in the upload form. If needed, also add the edits, other-versions, and source-file-name parameters to the File Info template.

Using files on pages

To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following formats:

  • [[File:File.jpg]] to use the full size file
  • [[File:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200-pixel-wide left-aligned thumbnail with "alt text" as the caption
  • [[Media:File.ogg]] to create a direct link to the file without displaying it on the page
