{{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.	|source=[https://www.dandossantos.com/gallery/#/lightweaver/ Dan dos Santos' Website] |source=[[:File: Roshar.png]]
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}}

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 the obvious
• {{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
