Before we go over how to reach out to artists, it is best to explain what the end goal is. Understanding the kind of information you would need to be putting on this page will help you understand why and how we ask for it.
We give artists a chance to introduce themselves to the community, and this is the section for it. Not every artist will be interested in this, and that's fine.
If the artist you are communicating with provides you with a bio, '''bold''' their name(s) or alias(es) the first time they they appear. If the bio is written in first person, use the {{t|Quote}} template to give it a more authentic feeling.
Put the artist's website(s) and social media account(s) in a bulleted list here. Avoid including websites the artist hasn't told you about - often times they consider those websites outdated or of insufficient quality.
Describe the kind of license or permission the Coppermind has when it comes to current and future works of the artist. For consistency, simply copy one of the lines below.▼
* The Coppermind has permission to use all of the artist's art.▼
* The Coppermind has permission to use all of the artist's art, but they would like to be notified whenever a new art piece is featured on the wiki.▼
* The Coppermind has permission to use all of the artist's art uploaded prior to <nowiki>'''<date>'''</nowiki>. Any art pieces uploaded later than that date require their explicit permission.▼
* The Coppermind has permission to use only art pieces the artist has given explicit permission for.▼
* The Coppermind does not have permission to use the artist's art.
If you are denied permission, either for specific art pieces or altogether, note the date and exactly which art pieces we can't use. Sometimes artists prefer not to share sketches, WIPs, or old work, but are okay with newer or better pieces. There isn't much precedent for this, so use your own discretion.
Include a gallery with all of the artist's pieces we use throughout the Coppermind. Ideally this should be always up to date.▼
For consistency, make the gallery <code>packed</code> and give all images in it a height of 150px:
<pre class=mw-code>▼
<gallery mode="packed" heights=150px>▼
</gallery>▼
</pre>▼
==== Auto-updating Galleries ====
You can use a MediaWiki hook to make galleries on artist pages pull any new art from the artist whenever you edit the page. Contact [[User:Fbstj]] or [[User:Argent]] about it.
=== Contact ===
It is important to have an up-to-date way of reaching out to artists, especially ones who require explicit permission for each of their art pieces. Make sure you don't accidentally reveal a personal email or another private account of the artist! If you are given anything that's not obviously public (e.g. email address or Discord ID), make sure the artist is comfortable sharing that with the world. Sometimes artists will offer a more direct contact method to the person who reached out to them, but would choose not to reveal that on their page; if this happens, check if the artist agrees to sharing this with the Coppermind Staff, and if they do - contact a Keeper.
For consistency, here are some contact form templates:
* The artist can be contacted via email at <nowiki>'''<email>'''</nowiki>.▼
* The artist can be contacted on their Twitter/Tumblr/ArtStation/DeviantArt/Facebook/Instagram account.
* The artist can be contacted via email but has not disclosed it publicly. Contact a Keeper on the <code><nowiki>[https://discord.gg/KEv3fhN Coppermind Discord]</nowiki></code> server and discuss with them how to get in touch with the artist.▼
* The artist has not disclosed public contact information. Contact a Keeper on the <code><nowiki>[https://discord.gg/KEv3fhN Coppermind Discord]</nowiki></code> server and discuss with them how to get in touch with the artist.▼
For reference, here are the permanent invite links to the <code>'''#coppermind'''</code> channel of the 17th Shard Discord server, and the Coppermind Editors server:

== Contacting New Artists ==
Reaching out to new artists usually works best if done organically, as a dialogue. Since their permission is the most important piece if information we need, it helps to open with just that - if they don't agree, then all the other information we usually gather is useless. If they agree to share their art with the Coppermind, explain that you would be creating a page for them, and get the rest of the information we need.
* First and foremost, their permission to use the art piece in question. This "license" can usually be one of three types - a general permission for us to use anything relevant to the Wiki, a general permission to use anything relevant to the Wiki up until this point (with future pieces usually requiring individual permissions), or a case-by-case permission.
* We like to have public contact information on each artist’s page, usually a preferred social media account or an email. How should we contact you in the future? If you prefer, you can share a more private contact form, like email, with the wiki Staff only, and leave a more public one, like a social media link or a website, on the page.
