In the future on uploading comic covers, please insert the proper copyright info in the Summary box. :) --Lonegamer78 14:50, 18 February 2010 (EST)

Ok, I will! I used to know where to find this info, but I can't seem to find it anymore, could you plese provide a link for future use? Thank you! :-) --Mechabreaker 15:22, 18 February 2010 (EST)
What do you mean you can't find "this info"? --Lonegamer78 15:47, 18 February 2010 (EST)
I meant that I can't remember the proper formatting for it. I used to know how to do it when the site was still using the old domain before making the switch to this one. It was not my intention to forget it, and I apologize, if someone could help me out I will make a note of it for future reference. Thank you. :-) Mechabreaker 17:27, 18 February 2010 (EST)
Go to here for most of the info. For example this:
{{comicinterior|source="[[The Gift Horse]]"|owner=[[IDW Publishing]]}}
will result in:

{{#if:"The Gift Horse" ||

{{#if: |

[[Image:|left{{ #if: ||px|}}{{ #if: |||}}]] | }}

{{ #if: |
|}}

This image is from an unknown source. Please add the source for the image if the information is available. {{ #if: |{{ #if: |  |
}} talk page.
|}}

{{#if: ||}}

It's also a good idea to add in the year and whichever companies that the image is copyrighted to, usually in this format: {{c}} *insert year published* [[Hasbro]], [[*comic publisher, e.g. IDW Publishing, Fun Publications, Titan Magazine*]]. Nutshell, it's just copying the format from earlier comic interior and cover scans. and adjusting the necessary information. --Lonegamer78 02:54, 19 February 2010 (EST)

Okay, seriously. Condense your summaries. These are ridiculously long. --Detour 02:21, 30 April 2010 (EDT)
