MSPA Wiki:Image policy

Wikia is not an image host, as such there are policies relating to image use on MS Paint Adventures Wiki.

Article Images
Only images directly relating to the wiki's scope are allowed in mainspace. Mainly, that means images taken directly from MSPA itself, or cropped parts of MSPA images; however, the scope also covers anything directly relating to MSPA, such as pictures of Andrew Hussie, as well as any images that serve an informative purpose, such as diagrams.

Images should be used reasonably and spread out to prevent the page becoming cluttered. In the case of a short article or articles of a certain nature, galleries may be used to help order the images, however galleries should be avoided where possible.

It is preferable, but not required, that image names should be meaningful and give at least some indication of what it's an image of. For example, a filename such as "File:Nepeta angry.gif" is excellent, as it is simple but informative. A name like "File:Tumblr lmafuh3hfuwehfzv.gif", by contrast, is completely unhelpful. However images should not have misleading, offensive, or inappropriate names.

All uploaded images should be correctly categorised within the subcategories of Category:Images.

User Images
User images must be used on a User page and categorised in Category:User images or they may be subject to deletion.

It is preferred that, like all images, user images do not have generic names. Likewise it is preferred that the image name also indicates that it is a user file, for example: Having a user name, or shortened version of it, as part of the name.

There is no complete official policy on user images, however Wikia is not an image host and user images are a privilege. As such if a user is believed to be abusing this privilege and uploading too many user images or failing to user them constructively they may be deleted at an admin's discretion. In this case a user may link to external image instead. However inappropriate images, internal or external, are not allowed.
