Help:Buttons and banners

This page is for buttons and banners that you can use on other sites to show that you use Wikia. You are welcome to add new buttons, banners and userboxes here. Please be sure that you are careful about copyright and that you are following the rules and guidelines of the site where you add the banners.

Wikipedia userboxes
Although not everyone does so, it's recomended that you use "subst:" on Wikipedia user boxes. This copies the code to your user page rather than calling the box from the template page.

Wikipedia userboxes must have free images, fair use is not allowed. This is something to remember when thinking about whether to use a logo as the image for a user box. In most cases this isn't possible and you may need to use something more original.

Banners
You can use these banners to promote Wikia, or as a banner to show you are a wikia contributor. Please note that as these banners include the Wikia logo, they are copyright Wikia, Inc. and are not GFDL.

If you would like a similar banner that lists your community, then please ask sannse.
