Template:Art

Artist	unknown
File type	{{{type}}}

This template was adapted from the Coppermind at https://coppermind.net/wiki/Template:Art.

The art template is used to assign metadata to pieces of visual art, both official and fan-made. For book covers, use {{cover}} instead.

Template

Category: Character images and Category: Art are the two most common types, so they are prefilled here; delete the one (or both) that's not applicable.

Parameters

Highlighted lines indicate mandatory parameters.

{{Art}} Parameters

Parameter	Description	Examples
#artist or artist	Use #artist to automatically link to the artist's Archive page (under Abidan Archive Wiki:Artists) by just supplying their name. If necessary, artist can be used to manually link to their page.	These two are equivalent: |#artist=Petar Penev |artist=[[Abidan Archive Wiki:Artists/Petar Penev|Petar Penev]]
#source or source	Use this to link to a public webpage where the image can be found, preferably the artist's website or social media. Note: #source automatically generates a link to ArtStation, Behance, Bluesky, DeviantArt, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr; just provide the URL. If the source is not one of these websites (e.g. it's the artist's personal website), use source to manually link to it. If the file is a cropped/traced version of another piece of art already uploaded to the Archive, that file can be used as the source. When naming the source, use just the website's name (e.g. Facebook instead of Facebook post, or 17th Shard instead of 17th Shard gallery).	|#source=https://www.instagram.com/p/B8je6gfDuOi/ |source=[https://www.dandossantos.com/gallery/#/lightweaver/ Dan dos Santos' Website] |source=[[:File: Roshar.png]]
modified	When the image has been changed from the original, either by cropping or coloring or tracing into a vector graphic, this parameter shoud link to the editor's Archive user page.	|modified=[[:User: Fbstj]]
tracer	When the image is a traced vector graphic this parameter should link to the tracer's Archive user page.	|tracer=[[:User:WeiryWriter]]
licensed	Use this parameter to indicate that the copyright owner (usually the artist) of the image has given us permission to upload this specific image. This is mostly useful when we don't want to set up an artist page for the artist (just yet). Note: This is best used when we see an image we want, acquire permission to use it, but don't want to go bother the artist with the Google Form. If the same artist keeps producing fanart, we should reconsider and send them the form instead.	|licensed=[[:User:Argent]]
book	Note: This feature currently does not work as of 4/25/26.	Use this to associate the art piece with a specific book. This is mostly used when uploading interior art from the book in question, but can also be used for fanart of specific scenes, characters that only appear in one book, and other book-specific artwork. Note: The value here is forwarded to the {{book tag}} template, which then forwards it to {{b}}. This means the original value must be valid for those templates as well. See their pages for details.	All of these are equivalent: |book=c1 |book=us |book=twok
series	Note: This feature currently does not work as of 4/25.	Use this to associate the art piece with a book series. Adds the image to that series' category, so it's advisable to add it, even if the image only concerns one book in a series. Note: The value here is forwarded to the {{series tag}} template, which means it must be one of the valid values for that template. See the {{series tag}} page for more details.	All of these are equivalent: |series=sa |series=stormlight |series=stormlight archive |series=the stormlight archive

Type Tags

Note: This feature is currently nonfunctional as of 4/25. The type parameter provides a row for tags which categorize the file in different ways:

• {{cat tag}} is placed on any image depicting a character
• {{cat tag}} is used to indicate when a file is from inside one of the published books
• {{cat tag}} is used on artist depictions of scenes and other more complex images
• {{cat tag}} categorize any cartographic images
• {{cat tag}} & {{cat tag}} indicate symbols & diagrams
• {{cat tag}} collect all the images used in books with icons in the chapter headings

It also allows for any other kind of tagging for images when it makes sense
