{{Art}} Parameters

Parameter	Description	Examples
#artist or artist	Use #artist to automatically link to the artist's Coppermind page (under Coppermind: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=[[Coppermind:Artists/Petar Penev|Petar Penev]]
source	Use this to link to a publicly viewable webpage where the image can be found, preferably the artist's website or social media. If the file is a cropped/traced version of another piece of art already uploaded to the Coppermind, 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.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 Coppermind user page.	|modified=[[:User: Fbstj]]
tracer	When the image is a traced vector graphic this parameter should link to the tracer's Coppermind user page.	|tracer=[[:User:WeiryWriter]]
book	Use this to associate the art piece with a specific book. This is mostly used when uploading interior art from the book in question. 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=sa1 |book=wok |book=twok
series	Use this to associate the art piece with a book 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	This parameter can be used to assign a category tag to the art piece. See the #Type Tags section below for more details.	|type={{cat tag|Art}}
official	Use this to indicate that the piece of art is "official" in some way - e.g. it appears on the cover or inside a published book.	|official=y

Type Tags

The type parameter provides a row for tags which categorize the file in different ways:

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