Covery (source) is a script to assist in uploading non-free cover images for video games.

Browser requirements

A reasonably modern browser – from around 2016 or later – is required to use Covery. Specifically:

• Edge: 14 or later
• Firefox: 39 or later
• Chrome: 42 or later
• Safari: 10.1 or later
• Opera: 29 or later
• No version of Internet Explorer is supported (sorry)

Installation

To install the script, add the line:

{{subst:lusc|User:Evad37/Covery.js}}

to Special:MyPage/common.js.

Usage

When viewing articles, a new toolbox menu item is added: "Upload cover". Click this link to open a dialogue window, where you can select a file – a preview of the image will be shown. Fill out the rest of the form (including a valid file name that is not already in use on Wikipedia or Commons), then click the upload button.

The script will then:

• Resize the file, if the resolution is more than 100000 pixels
• Upload the file
• Create a talk page for the file with the project banner
• Add the image to the article's infobox (along with caption and alt text if they were specified)
• Edit the article talk page to remove the |cover= parameter from the project banner (if it is present)

When finished, the article will be reloaded.
