In order to source images, all users should use the Information template in order to clearly provide all the necessary pieces of information. Whilst it is not mandatory for individuals to use this template, it is recommended. The three parts that you absolutely must fill out are the description of what the image depicts, the source (using the guidelines listed on the main policy page) and the licensing. If you know the author, you must say who that is. If you made any modifications to the image, you must state what they are under “attention”. In order to aide you in learning how to do this, a mock up of the information template is as follows:

Licences[]
Here follows a list of the main licences used on images on the Batman: Arkham Wiki.
- Images from Batman: Arkham material (including games, comics, promotional trailers, etc.)
- {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} – This licence should be used on all images deriving from Batman: Arkham (and other Rocksteady or Warner Brothers Montreal IPs). By default, Rocksteady allow images from their IPs to be used without question, so long as proper attribution is given.
- Images from other games or books
- {{Screenshots}} – This licence should be used for images taken from copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or films that are not already covered by Cc-by-sa-3.0 (i.e. IPs not owned by Rocksteady or WB Montreal), unless the uploader can prove such images come from sources who also provide similar permissions of use.
- Self-made images
- {{Self}} – This licence should be used for any images originally created by the uploader. By uploading your images onto the wiki, you are agreeing to release them into the Public domain, granting others automatic permission to use your images so long as sufficient attribution is given.
