Are you talking about Wikipedia, or a Fandom wiki? If the former, we can't really help you. If you want to set up the latter, you can request Shared images and Interlanguage links with your local Helper.

Yes, I was meaning to say Wikipedia. Oh well, I will find another solution, thank you anyway for the availability, and congratulations for your Wiki, guys :)

There's no need to ask us to share our images, just FYI. As long as your images are scaled down and you only use a few DC Comics images (that too for important situations only), it will fulfil the fair use purpose there. Covers will usually be allowed.

Actually, we have no claim on the images. We don't own any copyright, we just cite fair use (whether it actually is, is debatable). Other websites can reuse them without even having to ask permission, and several have done so.

Wikipedia has stricter rules about Fair Use, and generally only uses covers.

Yeah, you are right, guys, Wikipedia rules are so stricter ^^'. More than anything else I need to give examples of guide images to be inserted on Italian Wikipedia, corresponding to those images found on English Wikipedia, which strangely are not always shareable between the Wikipedia pages of two different countries. Some of the users from English Wikipedia who have included a use of those images that I thought of inserting on Italian Wikipedia are no longer available in one way or another. so I'm trying to find a solution, sometimes modifying some images by myself, other times trying to ask for a permission wherever I upload those files of those images on the Internet, because in this case I seem to have to ask this to the users who upload those files are allowed to share them. For example, at the moment I was looking for the images of the covers # 1 of "New Fun: The Big Comic Magazine" and "Detective Comics".

Yes, you'll also need to make sure the images are of small size and small resolution. Enough to keep its contents visible. There's no hard and fast rule about fair use in law I think, but generally Wikipedia won't allow you to use images that have high quality, unless the owner permits it explicitly to freely use an image.

I see. Tell me, friends, do you say that the images of those covers that I found on this Wiki therefore I cannot use them? or do you advise me to look somewhere else?

Tupka already said they don't belong to us, so you can use them. But don't post too many covers on Wikipedia or post a cover with fine quality, they generally won't allow it.

Ok, thanks, guys.

Question: since Wikpedia knows how to be very strict in this regard, also from the penal code, with its rules on uploading files, I must still mention that I have taken these images from this Wiki, right? If I'm not mistaken, if the images have been uploaded elsewhere on the internet previously I should still report the source and author of that file; I asked for permission first, in fact.

As for the covers... we probably took them from GCD or ComicVine or ComicArtCommunity or any other website. They're not really "ours".

I understand. Do you recommend me asking at the users of those sites too? I admit that I would feel comfortable not wanting to violate rules, penal codes and so on. ^^'

The worst thing that could happen to you, is that your image would be taken down.

Trying to track down the actual source of an image on the internet is a fool's errand. If I were you, I wouldn't even bother.

ok, if in doubt I try, hoping for the best. thanks for the availability, guys.

You do need indicate where you got the image from. But covers are very easy. Just search the name of the particular comic and its issue number you're looking for on LeagueofComicGeeks, GCD or other sites. Add the website URL from where you got your cover as source. Also add the authors ie cover artists. The licencing part can be chosen in the drop-down list. That's it.

I understand. Thanks :)

• We don't have "Chaotic Neutral"
• We do have a filter which prevents any change in the Alignment field by new users. Discuss it on the page.
• They are not anti-heroes. Anti-villains at most.

I was thinking maybe Event as well, but that can become a coding mess when there are two Events.

So, are you suggesting dropping this in the synopsis section, or as an "overview" type of blurb that precedes the infobox?

Above the infobox. Pages need text above the infobox.

Makes sense.

Thoughts:

• I'm pretty sure there's already a template that switches a Month number for a month name. I feel like it might even just be {{Month}}.
• it'd be a tedious piece of code, but I feel like it would be sexier to say "is the {{{Issue}}} <conditional "st, nd, rd, th"> issue of {{{Volume}}}."
• The bit where you say "is an issue of {{{Title}}} Vol {{{Volume}}}" seems redundant, if we're going to be using CnstNL on the pagename first.
• There probably aren't enough unpublished comics to warrant an automated one (vs. manual, that is), but if you want to, go for it.
• I feel like a writer is more important than a penciler/inker in most cases, but then you end up with anthology issues, and things get messy. Might be best not to include creators.
• Ideally, let's not replicate the content of the infobox so much that it renders the infobox irrelevant. Maybe, more of a contextualization of that data.

I thought about “ numberth issue” too, but Zero Hour’s #0 messes up the numbering.

Mock page

Hm. Could i convince you to rephrase:

“XXXX is an issue from Justice League (Volume 2), dated June, 2013. It was first published on April 17, 2013”

That said, would almost prefer “series title (series start year)” over volume number, but i think that would require dpl.

At least "cover dated"? Otherwise people might be confused about the conflicting dates. I tried to avoid a double "It" start like the volume template has.

Not going to bother with Unpublished, that can just be a new template field.

As long as it works, it's no biggie to me. I've wasted hours trying to get rid of those stray divs without breaking things, so if you managed it, that's super.

I don't think ImageTest is needed for anything. I don't think anything relies on it. To be honest, I pretty much forgot it existed after making it, and the changes I made in it are now standard on the main image template. So it can be eradicated from existence.

I was paining myself over those divs as well, until I remembered we don't have to even use divs anymore, we can just use a system that tells you you messed up a tag. Only a couple more infoboxes need converting, as well as the disambig template - all my attempts at that have failed.

Ugh, there's a bug. movies with no writing credit get a script error (but only if there's a Producer credit).

That was embarrassingly easy to fix.

Looks like it doesn’t work anyway! I think i was just trying to work out an ancient project page that we also deleted.

It doesn't work because it lists all pages that are not in Category:Templated Pages... which no longer exists, so every page on the wiki is not in Category:Templated Pages.

Fixed. You only half-closed a template.

Kinda panicked on this one thanks :)
