The "type of file" section when uploading a file does not include "3D Model". Why!? I'll just put "Icon" for now and let it be changed later. [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 17:58, April 29, 2019 (EDT)

:We rarely get 3D model uploads, so there was no need to create it. The idea of that wizard is to make it easier to upload and categorize images, so having a lot of fields hurts that purpose. There are other types of files we don't really have a type for either, like gifs. Anyway, tagging it as a screenshot works for all intents and purposes. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 16:43, April 30, 2019 (EDT)
::Got it. Now that I think about it, tagging it as artwork might work better. If not, then as a screenshot. [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 20:55, April 30, 2019 (EDT)
:::Well, artwork is a piece of promotional art created by the devs for the sake of advertising the game or showing it off in publications. Or it's concept art of things in development. A model render is more similar to a screenshot, since it shows what you see in-game (maybe a bit cleaner). And it is really a screenshot, of a modelling program. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 08:34, May 1, 2019 (EDT)
