Tagging Files

Files must be tagged with their system and type. Put this information into the Summary box on the Upload File page (or, if a file has already been uploaded without the necessary information, click "edit" at the top of the file's page). Tagging a file will place it into a category.

• Replace "system" with the proper name of the platform with the title of the game the image belongs to! Example: {{ROM|PlayStation 2}},
