Phineas and Ferb Wiki:Avatars

Avatars are small pictures that are used to represent you on this wiki. You can choose whatever picture you want, as long as it does not conflict with the policies of this wiki. If you would like to use an avatar from the show, a selection of pictures are available on this page. When viewing the avatars for a character, the page may take a long time to load if it has dozens or hundreds of pictures in it.

To request a new avatar, leave a message on the Discussion page.

Uploading new avatars[]

On your profile page, your avatar is displayed as a 100x100 picture. On message in your Message Wall, the first avatar is displayed as 50x50, with the avatars of everyone who replies to that message being displayed at 30x30. For best results an avatar should be an even multiple of that size (50x50, 100x100, 150x150, etc.). Avatars larger than 300x300 will lose a lot of details when they are displayed at the smaller sizes, so they should be of faces or other images with less detail to begin with.

Each picture should be saved in the png format to retain maximum clarity. (jpg is acceptable for larger screenshots, but loses more detail than png when the image is reduced in size for display.)

When uploading the picture, add the following categories so that it will be added automatically to the correct places:

[[Category:Avatars]]

[[Category:Character avatars]]

Replace Character with the actual character's name. Examples: "Phineas Flynn avatars", "Katie avatars".

Other categories to add include:

[[Category:Images]]

[[Category:Character images]]

[[Category:Images from Episode]]

Note: some avatar categories are different than the name shown below. For example, "Miscellaneous kids" uses the "Kid avatars" category.

Selecting your avatar[]

Click on the picture you want for your avatar to view it at full size.
Highlight the file name and copy it, without the File: in front of it. You will use this for a later step. For example, if you chose File:LawrenceBigGrin.png for your avatar, you would just highlight and copy LawrenceBigGrin.png.
Save the picture to your computer. On many web browsers, you can use the Right Mouse Button to click on the picture, then select "Save picture"
Go to your profile page.
Move the mouse over the current avatar. If you have not selected an avatar yet, it will show a generic picture.
When the "Edit avatar" link appears, click on it.
In the "Avatar" section, click on Choose.
Select the picture from your computer that you just saved.
When you have the picture you want, click on Save, I'm Done.

After you have completed these steps, please visit the avatar selection page and note which one you chose. This will help show what kinds of avatars people are interested in so that more can be added in the future.
