Rules

Naming Conventions

Company article should named by full name of the company, dropping incorporation components like LLC, GmBH, etc. (Not just Aegis, but Aegis Dynamics)
Convert any : in the rest of the name to -
Remove other special characters ][{}

Featured image

We need a featured image for our Company Infobox. We'll need to track down a suitable image.

As an example, Apocalypse Arms Comm-Link's featured image has the url of:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/a9li1ch9c4hcwr/post_section_header/Apocalypse-Arms.jpg

That can be uploaded with a name suitable to the company.

Note:

The following may be useful for manipulating images on the the RSI Website:

Comm-Link featured images are often cropped for effect, and may not be the most suitable for showing the full logo. What we may need to do is take the "post_section_header" and change it to "post" (for smaller, approx 500 pixel wide) or "source" (highest resolution) and pull the result from the RSI website:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/a9li1ch9c4hcwr/post/Apocalypse-Arms.jpg
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/a9li1ch9c4hcwr/source/Apocalypse-Arms.jpg

That can be uploaded with a name as noted above: "'Comm-Link-' + short indicator of comm-link name + file type"
