Citizen Profile Photos
If you are a citizen of Nova Roma, you can add a photo to your Album Civium page.
This photo may be edited or removed for quality control reasons - we need to ensure that the photos are of the correct size and proportions and are a good representation of a citizen.
Size and Format
- All photos must be exactly 150 x 150 pixels. Automated page layout breaks if this doesn't happen, so size restrictions must be strictly enforced!
- Larger photos should be cropped and resized.
- Smaller photos should be padded to make them 150x150. This 150 pixel x 150 pixel marble background file is available for this purpose.
- All citizen photos must be in "jpg" format. If you can select your "JPEG Compression" value, use a value of around 80.
Uploading Your Photo
If you already have Wiki site editing access, you can upload your photo according to the instructions below.
1. Go to the upload page. Click the "Browse" button and find your photo wherever it is stored on your computer.
2. Give your file the correct name in the "Destination filename" field:
- Filename format is: CIV-Praenomen_Nomen_Cognomen.jpg
- The filename must begin CIV-. That is a hypen.
- spell your name exactly as it is in the Album Civium.
- Use capital letters for first letter of each element of name, lowercase for the rest.
- Use underscores between words. Multiple cognomina are OK, use underscores between.
- The filename must end .jpg" This must be lowercase.
3. Put your photo in the correct category.
- Enter [[Category:Citizen photos]] in the summary. Include the double square brackets. You can enter whatever else you like in the summary as well.
4. Click the "Upload file" button.
