Artist Field

Artwork and illustrations require artist attribution. When filling in the artists field, the input should be formatted like so: artists=Kazuma Kaneko, Shigenori Soejima, Masayuki Doi. If the name is misspelled, then it will create an error; however, alternate spellings or pseudonyms with an existing redirect will not. For example, Kazuma Kaneko's legal name, Kazuhiro Kaneko, will still produce the output Kazuma Kaneko.

For artwork and illustrations that have a completely unknown author, the artists field should be filled in with Unknown. This will add the category Artwork with unknown authorship to the file. Otherwise, the listing of an artist is required for these kinds of files. If there is no input whatsoever for a file that requires an artist, the category Files without artist attribution will be added to the file.

For files with a known artist that for whatever reason should not have an article, the artist's name can be escaped using parentheses, like so: (Example Artist). It is not recommended to use this for artists who likely should have an article; instead, a stub page should be createdStaff has determined that creating a stub page for this reason is acceptable. so that the file links to the correct individual. Examples of artists who likely should not have an article include one-time artists on merchandise (rather than recurring artists) and the artists of collaboration artwork. To ensure that such files can be located again easily if necessary (such as if the artist is determined to need an article), the category Category:Files with escaped artist names exists.

Autocategories

Fileinfo has an auto-categorization feature based on the input provided to the template. This allows for easy categorization of files and makes it easier to find specific kinds of images within the thousands of files on Megami Tensei Wiki. In most cases, there is no need to worry about autocategories unless an unintended output is produced. In such cases, please inform a member of staff.

The version field is only used when there are significant enough graphical differences between two releases of a video game, such as the difference between the Super Famicom and Mega-CD releases of Shin Megami Tensei. When adding the file's version, input the relevant platform abbreviation, for example: version=PS2.

The reused= field is for when a file is reused for another title of the same media type. For example, if a sprite is used in both Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, then P2EP would be entered into the reused= field in order to apply relevant autocategories, with priority going to Innocent Sin because it was the first usage of the sprite. There is no need to specify any additional information, as this field is solely to ensure that files are associated with relevant games. This list can also be comma-separated to support multiple titles, i.e. reused=P2EP, P2BIM will add both Eternal Punishment and Persona 2 Batsu: Infinity Mask to the categories.

Autocategory Suppression

There may be cases where autocategories should be suppressed; either because the category may only contain a single file or because there are not enough files relevant to a specific version of the game to warrant separation. Whatever the case, there are category suppression parameters that can be used. Their usage is shown below.

Parameter	Supresses	Example Output
None	None	[[Category:Persona 3 Files]] [[Category:Persona 3 Screenshots]] [[Category:Persona 3 PlayStation 2 Files]] [[Category:Persona 3 Playstation 2 Screenshots]]
nocat	Media category	[[Category:Persona 3 Screenshots]] [[Category:Persona 3 PlayStation 2 Files]] [[Category:Persona 3 Playstation 2 Screenshots]]
nocattype	File type category	[[Category:Persona 3 Files]] [[Category:Persona 3 PlayStation 2 Files]] [[Category:Persona 3 Playstation 2 Screenshots]]
noplat	Platform category	[[Category:Persona 3 Files]] [[Category:Persona 3 Screenshots]] [[Category:Persona 3 Playstation 2 Screenshots]]
noplattype	Platform + file type category	[[Category:Persona 3 Files]] [[Category:Persona 3 Screenshots]] [[Category:Persona 3 PlayStation 2 Files]]

These suppression parameters can be combined as needed.
