Important!

If you're going to upload an image, be sure to mention the source - and, if you can, the copyright information - on the file page!

I've started a standard - based on the format when you upload an individual file to Wikia - as shown on this image (used on the Black Dog page).

Summary
Image source information, with relevant links if possible, goes here.

Licensing
Copyright information template goes here. There are several types of templates that can be used; to use a template, enclose it the title in quotes in doubled { } brackets.
 * "CC-BY-SA" - For files that have been licensed under Creative Commons (Attribution, Share-Alike). These files must be attributed to their source.
 * Use of these images also means that the Fear Mythos Wiki must also be licensed as CC-BY-SA, which is the case anyway by default.
 * By corollary, this is the default template for files you found elsewhere on Wikia.
 * "fairuse" - For files which are under copyright protection but are being used in a way that falls under | fair use guidelines.
 * In general, we shouldn't be using such images anyway.
 * "From Wikimedia" - For files which have been uploaded from Wikipedia or another Wikimedia site.


 * "no license" - If you don't know what the copyright status of the image is..
 * This is the default template if you don't know or can't find licensing information, or can't remember where you got it.
 * "other free" - For files licensed under other free licenses. This includes Creative Commons licenses besides CC-BY-SA.
 * "PD" - Files from the public domain - i.e, that are explicitly NOT licensed. I think the image for the Cthulhu Mythos falls under this category.
 * "permission" - Files that are under copyright but which have specific permission for use from the creator.
 * In general, we shouldn't have to worry about this category either.
 * "self" - Files and images that you, the uploader, created!
 * Use this template if you created the image.
 * (By uploading them to Wikia you are tacitly licensing them under CC-BY-SA - see the first category.)

More details about copyright image templates and how to use them can be found at Category:Image Wiki Templates. Please try to avoid uploading images that you know are copyright-protected!
