== Before you upload == | |||
Generally screenshots get named <tt>WoWScrnShot_</tt>''MMDDYY''<tt>_</tt>''HHMMSS''<tt>.jpg</tt> (where ''MMDDYY'' are 2-digit month, day, and year; and ''HHMMSS'' are local hours, minutes, and seconds). | |||
Before you upload your screenshot, you should rename the file to something that describes what's in the screenshot, like: <tt>Frostsaber_mount_Stormwind_docks.jpg</tt> | |||
WoWWiki discourages uploading generically names files, like <tt>WoWScrnShot_101511_221704.jpg</tt> | |||
