    Regarding Ame-Comi Girls:

    When it comes to digital-first (as opposed to digital ONLY), we try to wait until the print edition comes out, and not bother with the digital versions, because they're essentially the same.

    Digital only is a different story.

    So, the reason the pages for the digital issues were not made is because they shouldn't be made, and the reason some of those pages were made for the other books, is that somebody jumped the gun.

      Hm, ~13/14/13 when brought over probably then, I guess the digital ones must've had 9 pages of padding then. I'm only seeing three though...

      Looking at the digital one though, the layout kinda seems like the're half-pages, because unlike normal comics where the height is more than the width, the width is larger than the height here, probably because they're designed to display on widescreen monitors.

      So that'd explain why it's only slightly more than half if most of the pages were doubled up on when printed.

      Well, that explains that, I guess.

    Disambiguations do not look like that. Here is an example of how the {{Disambig}} works.

    Hello!

    Thank you for uploading new content to the DC Database project!

    We have lots of images in our database, 88,955 in fact, and in order to keep them organized we use a system of naming, categories and licensing added to each.

    1. Please review our Naming Conventions for Images. Images are categorized by name, so a descriptive name rather than a string of numbers is important.
      1. As a guide, look what other images in a character's gallery are called, and continue with the same name and number. If you upload a first image of a character, use "[Name] [Universe] 001". Ignore the Universe designation if it is a New Earth character.
      2. Issue covers should be given at least the title of the series, the volume and the number. A name similar to the issue is preferred: "Title Vol 1 1". Textless covers should be called "Title Vol 1 1 Textless". Files that do not indicate the issue number will be deleted.
    2. Add the Image Template to the images you upload. This is mandatory. Fill it in as detailed here, or below.
    3. Selecting the proper license is vital to properly maintaining our images. Please choose the license which best describes the image you are uploading. The most commonly used are 'Comic Single Panel' and 'Comic Cover', respectively.
    4. Other fields that should be filled in: Issue, Subject1, Artist. Add Source if you've taken it from a different site. If you've taken it from a different site and don't know the issue, DO NOT UPLOAD IT.

    In addition, please take a moment to review our policies page and more specifically our image policy.

    Questions can be directed to any of our admins, or asked on our forums.

    You did not include the source issue on BirdsOfPreyKnockoutScandal.jpg. Please do so. If you don't know, don't upload it.

    A few things
    Kyletheobald

    I was just going over your edits involving Santa Claus and I noticed a few problems. First of all, you linked some of the using the {{apn| instead of the {{a| code. The apn needs you to add a previous and next appearance at the end of the tag or it shows them as appearing in the previous and next issue of that series. In general, you should use the {{a|. You also forgot the brackets ie [[ ]]. Santa should be linked {{a|[[Santa Claus]]}} and say Robin should be {{a|[[Timothy Drake (New Earth)|Robin]]}}.

    Another thing is that 3 of the 4 appearances were on the cover only. I moved Santa down to the Other Characters section and added a {{Green|Cover Only}} note so readers know he doesn't appear in the actual story.

    The last thing is I saw you added him to a couple covers. We've started a new policy where we no longer tag characters appearing on cover images. It adds those images to their character images categories and we've decided those images are just ugly. If you want to tag him on a textless cover, that's fine but the fully dressed covers aren't getting tagged like that any longer.

    That's a lot of text for some pretty minor issues but I thought you'd want to know about it. Anyway, you're doing good edits.

      Sorry about the APN, I had seen that used on some other characters and noticed it made the category show up at the bottom and when I saw just A I thought it was a shortening that did the same thing.

      The lack of brackets still seemed to make a hyperlink though... I previewed it beforehand and it still linked to the page, doesn't the template allow for that?

      In a lot of cases we have only the covers with text and not the textless covers, do you think we could maybe have a different (sub?) category for the ugly cover appearances? That way we could still organize the ugly text covers to track char appearances that are prominent like this while not grouping them in with the prettier panel / raw art images.

      The lack of the straight brackets really doesn't hurt anything on its own. The link still works with the others. Its really only "necessary" when we want to move things. The move bot doesn't recognize a link without them. So while they aren't vital for the link itself to work, we still use them in case there is ever a need for a move.

      As for the covers, its a sort of new policy and there hasn't really been any discussion on it going forward. The admins have decided not to link characters on them any more. Nothing's been said about a sub-category for character images. If you feel a certain cover or character is important, you can still link it. Just as a general rule, we're not linking the characters on the covers any longer.

      Yeah I apologize for the 1 Robin image that was a portion of this image.

      The quality was so good I figured it must've been canon. From now on I'll look for a specific issue number associated with a panel or cover or else not upload it.

      That said, I notice that with the image template we have here that 'fan art' is one of the options selectable.

      If we credit the artist (looks to be "Fhiz" in this case) are there fan galleries related to articles we can put this, or is it only appropriate for userspace?

      We're in the process of reorganizing fan art. The new policy is that fan art can only be uploaded by the original artist.

    You've been here long enough to know our pages do not look like that. Use the character template.
