User blog:Sakaros/A Gift to the Wiki

Since the Image Policy has been returned to active enforcement in the past few months, I suspect I have developed a (merited) reputation for being an exacting Moderator in enforcing that policy. While I have no shame in that—artists and creators are entitled to acknowledgment for their efforts, and we'd all be better off with deeper understanding of copyright law—I fully acknowledge that the Image Policy can be a little daunting at first. Worse, the current iteration of Wikia differs from the old one in ways that make it less obvious to new users that sourcing and licensing are needed in the first place.

And so I give to the Star Wars Fanon community this tutorial. It breaks down the process into four steps: Steps Three and Four have step-by-step pictures showing every part of the process.
 * Selecting an image
 * Proper sourcing and licensing
 * How to upload an image
 * How to fix an image you uploaded without source and/or license

Hope this helps. If you have suggestions for how to improve the tutorial further, please let me know in the comments.

P.S. Yes, I know the name "Tutorial with images" is awful. I'll come up with something better eventually. If you have suggestions, leave them in the comments too.
