Guidebook: Creating

An instructional guide for the CPU Kerfuffle Wiki by Lorekeeper Victor.

## Introduction

Hello! I'm Victor, of the Lorekeepers. I mostly do the technical stuff on the wiki, getting templates to work, fixing typos, stuff like that. I also do character pages! I created Dantoinette and Doctor Order's, and I promise I'll get to work on Google Plus and Google's pages soon but in my defense, I have ADHD. I am also a small hedgehog slapping on the keyboard with my hedgehog hands.

The Lorekeepers are a group of people who've dedicated themselves to recording and keeping the events of CPU Kerfuffle In other words, we are the mod team of the CPU Kerfuffle Wiki, but we call ourselves Lorekeepers because it's cooler.

## Part 1. Images

CPUK Wiki has a lot of images- over **100** of them, in fact! They're used mainly for fighter images in the Charbox, but we also use them for stock icons that are used in the Fightbox (more on both of those in parts 2 and 3). Images might be intimidating, and they can be. But I'm going to help you **find**, **upload**, and **name** images!

### Finding Images

Finding alternate colors that were the right size used to be a real pain in the neck. There's this really, really low quality pic of Johannsen that used to be on the main page until I slapped into Waifu2x like, 5 times. It's fine now, unless you look at Johannsen's cheeks and you realize how doughy they look and his eyes and hat just don't look right.

  I'm not changing it. That's **MY** melting rat, goddamni-

### Finding Images (Actually)

Thanks to **THIS**awesome link, we now have .jpg or .png files of all the fighters! Do note, though, that we would prefer if every fighter had a .png file. **If you know where we can find high quality, .png (transparent) images of every fighter, *please* let us know.**

Good question! **Don't worry about the DLC Fighters!** There's a different method that Lorekeeper Zia uses to get those but it's really long and dumb and complicated so do not worry about it! We will upload DLC Fighter images when they are relevant. But the DLC Fighters *are* on **THIS** link for default costume icons (use the in-game ones, not the website ones) and **THIS** link for palette swap icons! If you're uploading a character's fighter image, upload their icon, too!

Speaking of uploading..

### Uploading Images

First, make sure the file you're going to upload isn't already on the wiki. Check these things:

* Does the character have a page? Check to see if it's there.
* Is there a character with an identical skin to them? (i.e: Bumblebee and Interdimensional Bus) This can be used instead to prevent duplicate images.
* If you're still unsure, or you're looking for an icon (which aren't on character pages), go to this link and check.

**If you do accidentally upload a duplicate, it's completely fine! Don't worry about it.**

Okay, you're good? Good. On to the uploading tutorial!

(Read the image captions!)

On to the naming scheme!

###  Naming Scheme

**Fighter Images (official fighter renders)**: [character-name].png/jpg. (i.e: Sephiroth.png)

**Icons (the stock icons)**: [character-name]-icon.png (i.e: Sephiroth-icon.png)

**Kerfuffle Thumbnails (the images Ryan posts sometimes with the announcement of the Kerfuffle)**: CPUK#group.jpg (i.e: CPUK13group.jpg)

That's the end of Part 1: Images! DM me on Discord at lunardusters#1937 if you have any questions. Thanks so much for helping out with the wiki!
