Template talk:Infobox roller derby league
About this template
editThis infobox template is loosely based on Template:Infobox Sports league and Template:MiLB infobox. It can be used for any article about a roller derby league. It provides a consistent space for the league's logo and a summary of the league's basic details.
If you have suggestions for improving it, or questions or concerns, please post here (start a new section at the bottom). —mjb (talk) 01:13, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
How to upload a logo
edit- Find a logo to upload. Leagues often make them available in their MySpace picture galleries, or on photo hosting services like flickr or PhotoBucket. Save the image you want to your computer.
- Edit the image (see WP:PIFU) so that its size is 200 pixels wide, in order to match the size required by the infobox and to comply with WP:NFC. The format should be a raster format like JPEG, PNG, or GIF; since it's not free content, it can't be SVG.
- Click on the "Upload file" link that can be found in the toolbox section of the sidebar of most Wikipedia pages.
- Choose the type of image content: "The logo of an organization" is the one you want.
- Scroll down and click on the "Source filename" box. Choose the file you want to upload.
- Change the "Destination filename" to something short yet descriptive, and that starts with a capital letter, like "XYZ Rollers logo.jpg".
- In the Summary box, you need to modify two things: (1) After "Article=", enter the name of the article you're going to be using the image in, like "XYZ Rollers". (2) After "Source=", paste in the URL of the page the image originally appeared on, or some brief text saying where you got the file.
- In the Licensing drop-down, choose "Logo".
- Click the "Upload file" button.
If you're successful, it'll show you the page for the image you submitted. The title will be something like "Image:XYZ Rollers.jpg". You can now use this file on Wikipedia; e.g., in the roller derby league infobox, you can enter "XYZ Rollers.jpg" in the logo field. —mjb (talk) 01:13, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
