Template:WIP

Many articles require screenshots or other images to illustrate article subjects or add visual reference to tutorials. Any registered user can upload images to be used in articles.

When to use an image

  • To show the appearance of an interface or dialog box
  • To demonstrate the appearance of the article's subject in game (for example, a screenshot of an effect or model)
  • To illustrate an aspect of the development process (for example, a screenshot of designing a moving platform in Hammer)
  • To quickly convey how to set up object properties or inputs and outputs in Hammer
  • To add a diagram or chart to help explain the subject or a procedure (for example, a flow chart illustrating the flow of logic in a complex puzzle)

How to upload an image

Go to Special:Upload and follow the instructions there.
