English: A category to list of all the associate templates and articles, which when completed, will number in the hundreds (at least 300+), and thus this is needed this to track them for maintenance.
There are two basics of the images: one being the type of piece, one being the type of position. Their naming convention is as follows: depending on the type of image, they will form together the entire image name, but start with xiangqi- and end with a unique four or five letter code. Color will either be light (red) or dark (black or green), and will be denoted by either a "l" or "d" respectively, in the second character of the code. The type of piece, such as general or chariot (rook) is denoted in the first character of the code. The type of position occupies the last two or three character places.
The resulting pieces are images of every single possible (legal) combination there is. Illegal combinations might also be added, for variants and to play around with. e.g. generals in the middle of the board.
