Template:Files standard format

Note that only .jpg and .jpeg files under 0.5MB or 500KB are allowed.

Standard name format

Please name your files to match the required format: Species name Ph. Name (YEAR)

For example, a photo of Rosa canina, photographed by John Smith in 2024 would give: Rosa canina J. Smith (2024)

Special cases

• For parts of a species, add the part name: Species name (part) Ph. Name (YEAR) e.g. Malus trilobata (leaves) J. Smith (2024)

• For illustrations/drawings, add the word "illustration": Species name (illustration) Ill. Name (YEAR) e.g. Erithacus rubecula (illustration) J. Smith (2024)

• For multiple photos of a species (as the platform doesn't let duplicate names), add a letter at the end: Species name Ph. Name (YEARletter).jpg e.g. Tribulus terrestris J. Smith (2024a)
